Description

  The present invention relates to a method for forming a wing structure, particularly an auxiliary wing (aileron) structure.

  As a conventional method for forming a wing structure, a forming technique for forming a wing structure including a hollow structure using a hollow bag is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  According to FIG. 3 of Patent Document 1, first, a release agent is applied to the hollow bag 11 packaged on the core metal 10, and thereafter, a prepreg is laminated on the hollow bag 11. A prepreg 12 (including the hollow bag 11) is created.

  Next, in FIG. 4 of Patent Document 1, a lower outer plate prepreg 21 is laminated on the lower mold 22, and a plurality of intermediate beam prepregs 12 (including the hollow bag 11) are placed on the lower outer plate prepreg 21. The upper outer plate prepreg 25 is laminated from above, the side block 23 and the fairing bar 24 are arranged on the sides thereof, and the cowl plate 26 is further disposed on the upper outer plate prepreg 25. Deploy.

And in FIG. 5 of patent document 1, each said prepreg, the cowl plate 26, and the fairing bar 24 are covered with the vacuum bag 27, the inside of the vacuum bag 27 is evacuated, and it pressurizes and heats. Thereby, the main part of a composite material wing | blade is integrally molded.
Thereafter, the hollow bag 11 and the like are removed, fastener fastening and trimming are performed, and the composite wing is completed.

Japanese Patent No. 4187878

  In Patent Document 1, since a plurality of intermediate girder prepregs 12 are arranged in parallel with the core bar 11 removed, the adjacent intermediate girder prepregs 12 have portions where the intermediate girder is formed at their respective internal pressures. Since it is pressed, it is difficult to accurately position this portion.

As a result, after the composite blades are completed, shim adjustment is separately required for positioning of the hinge fittings such as the moving blades attached to the intermediate girders, resulting in an increase in assembly cost, the number of parts, and weight.
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for forming a blade structure capable of reducing assembly cost, number of parts, and weight.

The invention according to claim 1 is a method for forming a wing structure including a plurality of hollow portions and intermediate girders that define the hollow portions, and a lower mold prepreg is laminated on a lower mold. A plurality of prepreg molded bodies for a hollow structure are arranged adjacent to each other on the prepreg for a side skin, and the upper prepreg for an upper skin is laminated on the prepreg molded body for a hollow structure. A mold, a lower prepreg, a plurality of hollow structure prepregs, and an upper outer prepreg are covered with a vacuum bag. The vacuum bag is evacuated and pressurized and heated to integrally form the wing structure. in the molding method of the wing structure, a plurality of hollow structures prepreg molded article, and the reference-side hollow prepreg moldings molded in advance on the metal core die, molded in advance on the silicone rubber core die The silicone rubber core type is composed of a reference side hollow prepreg molded bodies adjacently arranged in the and the pressure side hollow prepreg molded body while being demolded, the plurality over the prepreg for the lower skin Including a step of inserting a hollow bag into the internal pressure side hollow prepreg molded body after disposing the prepreg molded body for a hollow structure, and a step of demolding the metal core mold after integral molding of the wing structure. Features.

The reference side hollow prepreg molded body including the metal core mold and the internal pressure side hollow prepreg molded body from which the silicone rubber core mold is removed are arranged adjacent to each other on the lower skin prepreg. .

  A hollow bag is inserted into the internal pressure side hollow prepreg molded body to apply internal pressure. The internal pressure side hollow prepreg molded body is pressed against the adjacent reference side hollow prepreg molded body by the internal pressure. Since the reference side hollow prepreg molded body is positioned by the metal core mold inside thereof, the internal pressure side hollow prepreg molded body is also positioned along the reference side hollow prepreg molded body. Therefore, the positional accuracy of the intermediate beam formed by the adjacent reference side hollow prepreg molded body and the internal pressure side hollow prepreg molded body is improved.

In the invention according to claim 1, a plurality of prepreg molded bodies for a hollow structure are molded in advance on a reference-side hollow prepreg molded body on a metal core mold and a silicone rubber core mold in advance. After that, the silicone rubber core mold is removed and the inner pressure side hollow prepreg molded body is arranged adjacent to the reference side hollow prepreg molded body. Since the step of inserting the hollow bag into the inner pressure side hollow prepreg molded body after disposing the prepreg molded body for the hollow structure, and the step of removing the metal core mold after integral molding of the blade structure, The metal core mold makes it possible to accurately position the intermediate girders at the stage of forming the wing structure, making it possible to assemble the hinge fittings attached to the intermediate girders without adjusting the shims, and assembling the wing structure. , It is possible to achieve the number of parts, a reduction in weight.

Usually, it is difficult to dispose a release film on the inner surface side of the front intermediate prepreg molded body 26 and the rear edge prepreg molded body 28 (surface in contact with the tube bags 85 and 86).
In the present invention, the inner mold release film and the core mold of the double mold release film are pulled out together so that the outer mold release film becomes the front intermediate prepreg molded body 26 and the trailing edge prepreg molded body. Since it remains in close contact with the inner surface side of 28, a normal release film placement operation is not required.

The action at the time of pressurization and heating in the autoclave described above will be described.
As shown in FIG. 16, compressed air is sent to the tube bag 85 in the front intermediate prepreg molded body 26 and the tube bag 86 in the rear edge prepreg molded body 28, respectively, so that the front intermediate prepreg molded body 26 and the rear edge A predetermined pressure is applied to the prepreg molded body 28.

  In this state, the inside of the vacuum bag is evacuated, a predetermined pressure is applied to the outer skin prepreg 22 from the outside, and the outer prepreg 22 and each prepreg in the outer skin prepreg 22 are heated to a predetermined temperature.

  As a result, while the front intermediate prepreg molded body 26 and the rear edge prepreg molded body 28 are maintained in a predetermined shape, the front edge prepreg molded body 25, the front intermediate prepreg molded body 26, and the rear intermediate prepreg molded body 27. Then, after the trailing edge prepreg molded body 28 and the outer skin prepreg 22 are combined and the pressurization and heating are finished and the temperature is lowered to room temperature, the aileron 10 (see FIG. 1) is completed.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the wing structure forming method is applied to the aileron 10, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be applied to other wing structures of an aircraft.

  The method for forming a wing structure of the present invention is suitable for aircraft production.
