The carbon fiber composite material structure of the present invention comprises a first thermoplastic
續上段說明,第一熱塑性無紡布纖維層10與第二熱塑性無紡布纖維層20皆選自聚乙烯(PE)、聚丙烯(PP)、聚苯乙烯(PS)、聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)、聚氯乙烯(PVC)、尼龍(Nylon)、聚碳酸酯(PC)、聚四氟乙烯(PTFE)、聚對苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)或聚甲醛(POM),可以根據成品條件而選擇性製作材料類型,在此本發明不加以侷限。在本實施例以使用聚丙烯(PP)纖維作為第一熱塑性無紡布纖維層10與第二熱塑性無紡布纖維層20為例說明。聚丙烯(PP)最佳使用是短纖,是預先將聚丙烯(PP)纖維進行開纖製程,開纖製程是用來將紊亂糾結的聚丙烯(PP)纖維梳理、排列,再經過開纖機40不斷拉伸、扭轉、抱合(即拉緊靠攏)的過程。再利用氣流成網機60經氣流梳理、排列將聚丙烯(PP)纖維產生二維或三維纖維取向,以獲得二維(2D)或三維(3D)雜亂排序的均勻聚丙烯(PP)纖維網。當使用氣流成網機60來獲得的聚丙烯(PP)纖維網是呈現三維分佈時,其縱向橫向的強度差別小,且流動類型為向同性。最後將第一熱塑性無紡布纖維層10利用一高溫熱壓機(圖中未示)經過高溫熱壓製程而成,此時第一熱塑性無紡布纖維層10以可以稱為熱塑性纖維氈;其中,溫度範圍介於攝氏160度至攝氏200度。同理,第二熱塑性無紡布纖維層20也是以相同方式經過開纖機40’不斷拉伸、扭轉、抱合,再經氣流成網來獲得的聚丙烯(PP)纖維網,最後經過高溫熱壓機高溫熱壓製程而成。Continuing from the previous section, the first thermoplastic
上述值得注意的是,高溫熱壓製程的溫度會因為使用的熱塑性纖維材料不同,會有變化,因此本發明在此不加以侷限溫度設定範圍。更進一步來說,氣流成網機60的製程大約分成五種形式:第一種自然飄落式,纖維由離心力和纖維自身的重量而自在飄落成網。第二種壓入式,纖維由離心力和吹入的氣流使其從錫林上先分離,然後再來輸送、成網。第三種抽吸式,纖維由離心力和吸入氣流使其從錫林上先分離,然後再來輸送、成網。第四種迴圈封閉式,纖維的剝離,輸送和成網都僅使用一台風機完成的。第五種壓與吸結合式,經由壓入式和抽吸式兩種成網方式的結合,抽吸式主要使用吹和吸兩種機台。由於上述的氣流成網機60因製程形式不同而會有不同的生產參數,故在此不加以說明生產參數的部分,可視製程需求而調整。本發明使用氣流成網機的目的在於獲得呈三維雜亂排序的均勻纖維網,故不論使用上述何種形式的氣流成網機皆適用於本發明的技術應用。It is worth noting above that the temperature of the high-temperature hot-pressing process will vary due to the different thermoplastic fiber materials used, so the present invention does not limit the temperature setting range here. Furthermore, the manufacturing process of the air-laid
接續說明碳纖維層30的應用與特性,碳纖維具備最佳強度和剛度性能、比玻璃低密度、膨脹係數低與具有更好的抗潛變性和耐磨損性等諸多優點。碳纖維層30是選自新紗、回收紗、下腳料或廢紗,可以根據成品條件而選擇性製作材料類型,在此本發明不加以侷限。舉例來說,本發明可以使用新紗、下腳料、回收紗或廢紗,進行開纖製程,先將紊亂糾結的碳纖維梳理、排列,再經過開纖機不斷拉伸、扭轉、抱合。如第2圖所示,本發明是使用輸送裝置200,將已經製成的第一熱塑性無紡布纖維層10放在輸送裝置200上進行碳纖維複合材料的製作輸送,再透過氣流成網機60經氣流梳理、排列將碳纖維產生二維或三維纖維取向並散落在第一熱塑性無紡布纖維層10上,呈現一層均勻平鋪狀態的碳纖維層30,接著將第二熱塑性無紡布纖維層20疊合在碳纖維層30上,據以形成三層結構的碳纖維複合材料氈100,其中碳纖維層30中的碳纖維為短纖,短纖長度範圍為30毫米至120毫米。Next, the application and characteristics of the
值得注意的是,上述製程由下至上依序層疊第一熱塑性無紡布纖維層10、碳纖維層30與第二熱塑性無紡布纖維層20,能夠確保無紡布纖維材料可以均勻包覆碳纖維,以避免後續熱壓成型製程後的成品強度均勻度不足。由於形成三層結構的碳纖維複合材料氈100後呈現結構鬆散、分層狀態,在此稱為半成品,故必須經過一熱壓成型機50進行熱壓成型,熱壓成型機50包括滾輪51,滾輪51的外緣環設有多個凸部52。碳纖維層30與位於其相對面的第一熱塑性無紡布纖維層10與第二熱塑性無紡布纖維層20之間利用滾輪51的此些凸部52接觸點形成熱融結合,透過加熱的方式,且用點接觸的情況下讓三層結構的碳纖維複合材料氈100的熱塑性纖維黏在一起,形成假固定狀態的碳纖維複合材料氈100,在此稱為成品。其中此些凸部52的結構設計為偏硬材質,目的在於可以達到較佳的點接觸熱融結合效果,而此些凸部52的分布方式、點接觸面積或是數量都可因應成品條件需求而調整結構設計,本發明在此不加以侷限滾輪51上此些凸部52的結構態樣。如此一來可避免完成後半成品在運送過程中因結構太過鬆散、分層而影響後端的產品製作良率。熱壓成型機50的熱壓溫度範圍介於攝氏240度至攝氏280度,此溫度適用於聚丙烯(PP)纖維,由於熱壓成型機50的熱壓溫度範圍會根據第一熱塑性無紡布纖維層10與第二熱塑性無紡布纖維層20所選用熱塑性纖維的材料不同而改變,故本發明在此不加以侷限熱壓成型機50的熱壓溫度設定範圍。It is worth noting that the above-mentioned process stacks the first thermoplastic

Fig. 3 is a partially enlarged schematic diagram of the thermoforming process of the present invention. As shown in Figure 3, it is a three-layer carbon fiber composite felt 100, and the left L is the finished product (the carbon fiber composite felt 100 is a solid structural shape after the
更進一步詳細來說,為了能製作出較佳性能的碳纖維複合材料氈100,在本實施例中,第一熱塑性無紡布纖維層10與第二熱塑性無紡布纖維層20是使用聚丙烯纖維(PP fiber),其與碳纖維結合為三層結構的碳纖維複合材料氈100,並執行對照組、實驗組1至3的製程方式,請參閱下列表格(一):
續就本發明使用碳纖維(Carbon fiber,簡稱CF)作為碳纖維複合材料氈的目的,在於碳纖維是一種高強度和模數的耐高溫纖維,為化纖的高端品種;主要由碳原子構成,直徑約5-10微米。為了產生碳纖維,碳原子在晶體中被鍵合在一起,平行排列的纖維長軸給予碳纖維相當高的強度-體積比。由於碳纖維扮演強化材的角色,主要承載外力,且碳纖維具備高硬度,高強度,重量輕,高耐化學性,耐高溫和低的熱膨脹等諸多特性,適用於多種使用條件而有選擇性變化多的優勢,能廣泛應用在航天工程、土木工程,軍事,賽車與其他競技體育運動產品。舉例來說,在後端製作產品時,只需要選取所需重量的碳纖維複合材料氈,剪裁或拼湊成所需要的大小,加溫加壓使樹脂融化讓碳纖維複合材料氈進行含浸製程,本發明不侷限使用何種固化成型方式。 舉例來說,若是以塑料樹脂作為含浸材料,由於塑料樹脂(或稱為樹脂基體)是透過介面以剪應力的形式,向碳纖維複合材料氈傳遞應力載荷,同時,樹脂基體亦有保護碳纖維複合材料氈不受外界直接損傷的作用,當碳纖維複合材料氈與塑料樹脂模塑後,具有非常高的強度-重量比的碳纖維強化產品,產批次與批次間可以承受的機械應力的數值穩定,如表格(一)所示,之後再根據需求進行裁切所需的產品態樣。Continuing the purpose of using carbon fiber (CF for short) as a carbon fiber composite material felt in the present invention is that carbon fiber is a high-strength and modulus high-temperature-resistant fiber, which is a high-end variety of chemical fiber; it is mainly composed of carbon atoms, with a diameter of about 5 -10 microns. To create carbon fibers, carbon atoms are bonded together in crystals, and the parallel alignment of the fiber long axes gives carbon fibers a rather high strength-to-volume ratio. Because carbon fiber plays the role of reinforcing material and mainly bears external force, and carbon fiber has many characteristics such as high hardness, high strength, light weight, high chemical resistance, high temperature resistance and low thermal expansion, it is suitable for a variety of use conditions and has many selective changes. The advantages can be widely used in aerospace engineering, civil engineering, military, racing and other competitive sports products. For example, when making products at the back end, it is only necessary to select carbon fiber composite mats of the required weight, cut or assemble them into the required size, heat and pressurize to melt the resin, and let the carbon fiber composite mats be impregnated. There is no limitation on which curing molding method is used. For example, if plastic resin is used as the impregnation material, since the plastic resin (or resin matrix) transmits stress load to the carbon fiber composite mat in the form of shear stress through the interface, at the same time, the resin matrix also protects the carbon fiber composite material. The felt is not affected by direct damage from the outside. When the carbon fiber composite material felt is molded with plastic resin, it has a very high strength-to-weight ratio carbon fiber reinforced product, and the value of the mechanical stress that can be tolerated between production batches is stable. As shown in Table (1), the required product shape is then cut according to the demand.
請同時參閱第2圖與第4圖,第4圖為本發明之步驟流程圖。碳纖維複合材料製作方法包括步驟S1,提供一第一熱塑性無紡布纖維層10,經由開纖製程、氣流成網製程與高溫熱壓製程(如高溫熱壓溫度範圍介於攝氏160度至攝氏200度)而成。如步驟S2,於第一熱塑性無紡布纖維層10上形成一碳纖維層30;碳纖維層30係由一氣流成網機60經氣流梳理將碳纖維產生二維或三維纖維取向而成,實現了各向同性的性能,也提高了產品品質良率、具有產業利用性而產出經濟生產價值和高可靠性等諸多市場競爭優勢。若碳纖維是使用新紗、下腳料或廢紗,則須先經過開纖製程。如步驟S3,於碳纖維層30上形成一第二熱塑性無紡布纖維層20;第二熱塑性無紡布纖維層20是經由開纖製程、氣流成網製程與高溫熱壓製程(如高溫熱壓溫度範圍介於攝氏160度至攝氏200度)而成,再形成於碳纖維層30上。Please refer to Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 at the same time, and Fig. 4 is a flow chart of the steps of the present invention. The carbon fiber composite material manufacturing method includes step S1, providing a first thermoplastic
再如步驟S4,同時對第一熱塑性無紡布纖維層10、碳纖維層30與第二熱塑性無紡布纖維層20進行平面與多個點接觸熱壓以製成一碳纖維複合材料氈100。其中,碳纖維層30與位於其相對面的第一熱塑性無紡布纖維層10與第二熱塑性無紡布纖維層20之間利用熱壓成型機50進行平面與多個點接觸熱壓以形成熱融結合,熱壓成型機50的熱壓溫度範圍介於攝氏240度至攝氏280度。其中,熱壓成型機50包括滾輪51,較佳為熱壓輪,熱壓輪的外緣環設有多個凸部52,如凸點;滾輪51除了平面熱壓合較為三層鬆散結構的碳纖維複合材料氈100之外,特別的是利用多個凸部52將三層鬆散結構的第一熱塑性無紡布纖維層10、碳纖維層30與第二熱塑性無紡布纖維層20之間進行熱融結合,能形成三層扎實結構,便於後續的產品製程所需。本發明利用熱壓製程來取代現有利用樹脂或黏膠製作纖維複合材料結構,能節省物料成本、製程時間與人力成本。In step S4 , the first thermoplastic
綜觀上述,可見本發明在突破先前之技術下,對碳纖維複合材料結構及其製作方法上的創新改良,本發明為預先將碳纖維與無紡布纖維(熱塑性纖維)製作成碳纖維複合材料氈,使用時只需要選取所需重量的碳纖維複合材料氈,剪裁或拼湊成所需要的大小,鋪放在模具中再經過熱壓機進行固化成型即可。因為碳纖維與熱塑性纖維的混合更均勻,除了熱塑性纖維的流動性較佳外,碳纖維的分布也較為均勻,可以有效提升終端產品的品質,確實已達到所欲增進之功效,且也非熟悉該項技藝者所易於思及,再者,本發明申請前未曾公開,且其所具之進步性、實用性,顯已符合專利之申請要件,爰依法提出專利申請,懇請 貴局核准本件發明專利申請案,以勵發明,至感德便。Looking at the above, it can be seen that the present invention breaks through the previous technology and innovates and improves the carbon fiber composite material structure and its manufacturing method. You only need to select the carbon fiber composite material felt of the required weight, cut or piece it into the required size, lay it in the mold, and then cure and shape it through a hot press. Because the mixing of carbon fiber and thermoplastic fiber is more uniform, in addition to the better fluidity of thermoplastic fiber, the distribution of carbon fiber is also more uniform, which can effectively improve the quality of the end product.
