Definitions
- the present invention generally speaking, relates to the technical field of producing layered materials.
- the invention relates to two different methods for placing at least one material layer onto a relief mould for producing a composite material.
- the invention relates to a device for placing at least one material layer onto a relief mould for producing a composite material.
- the invention relates to the use of such a device in order to place, with it, at least one material layer onto a relief mould.
- composite materials are produced in that thin deformable material layers, such as for example woven materials, interlaid scrims, prepregs, papers, veneers, metal sheets, foils, nonwoven fabrics, and mats, or other sheet-like flexible material layers that in the context of the present invention are collectively referred to as a
- material layer are removed from a flat surface, such as for example a table, and are placed one on top of the other in a mould tool that comprises a base surface that is curved in one or two directions.
- a mould tool that comprises a base surface that is curved in one or two directions.
- a first embodiment of the method according to the invention for placing at least one material layer onto a relief mould for producing a composite material provides for an elastically-reversibly deformable surface with a surface relief that in a non-deformed state corresponds to the relief mould is pressed against the material layer, wherein the surface relief elastically deforms such that the surface rests flat against the material layer.
- a retention force is generated on the surface, which retention force fixes the material layer to the surface at least temporarily. While it can prove to be energy-saving if the retention force is generated only after the surface has been pressed against the material layer, it is of course also possible for the retention force to be generated already before or during the procedure of pressing the surface against the material layer.
- the surface In order to make possible simple placement of the material layer with the surface relief produced in this way onto the relief mould, the surface, together with the material layer fixed to it, is arranged opposite the relief mould such that the surface relief of the material layer correspondingly fits to the relief mould. Finally, the material layer is placed onto the relief mould in that the previously generated retention force is cancelled. In this way the material layer becomes detached from the surface and remains lying on the relief mould in the desired way.
- the method is initiated anew in that either a retention force is generated first or the elastically-reversibly deformable surface is pressed against the new material layer.
- a second embodiment of the method according to the invention for placing at least one material layer onto a relief mould for producing a composite material provides for an elastically-reversibly deformable surface to be arranged on the material layer such that the surface rests flat against the material layer. Thereby, there is no need for the surface to have a surface relief that corresponds to the relief mould.
- a retention force is generated that fixes, at least temporarily, the material layer to the surface. Also in this embodiment of the method it is possible to generate the retention force already prior to arranging the surface on the material layer.
- the surface together with the material layer fixed thereto, can be arranged facing the relief mould and subsequently, by means of the surface, the material layer can be pressed against the relief mould in such a way that the material layer is given a surface relief that corresponds to the relief mould.
- the two differently designed methods appear to differ only slightly from each other, these two embodiments are, however, true alternatives because in the first embodiment of the method the surface relief of the material layer is produced in that the elastically-reversibly deformable surface returns to its non- deformed initial state in which its surface relief corresponds to that of the relief mould.
- the surface relief of the material layer is produced in that the material layer is pressed onto the relief mould by means of the elastically-reversibly deformable surface, as a result of which a surface relief that corresponds to that of the relief mould is forced both onto the material layer and onto the surface.
- the two previously described methods it is thus very easy to remove material layers in an automated way from a flat surface and to place them, free of any wrinkles, with a defined surface structure onto a relief mould.
- the methods make it possible to place material layers of different sizes onto geometric relief shapes that are different or at least similar.
- the method according to the invention it is possible to do without expensive robot-gripper kinematics, as a result of which the costs incurred can be reduced and process reliability can be enhanced.
- the surface can, for example, be subjected to a suction stream.
- a multitude of suction apertures can be provided in the surface, which suction apertures are subjected to a suction stream.
- An alternative to generating a retention force can, for example, consist of electrostatically charging the surface.
- Yet another alternative to generating a retention force can consist of the retention force being generated by an adhesive force or a magnetic force.
- the person skilled in the art will know further options of generating a retention force, so that there is no need to provide further details in this regard.
- the object on which the invention is based is met by a device for placing at least one thin deformable material layer onto a relief mould for producing a composite material, which mould comprises an elastically-reversibly deformable body that forms a surface which is designed for generating a retention force for fixing the material layer.
- the body can be made from almost any desired material that due to its characteristics is able to automatically bring back the body from its deformed state to its non-deformed state.
- Such elastically-reversible materials characteristics are required so that the surface of the body can adapt to any desired surface geometries as a result of pressure applied to the body in order to be able, after reduction in the pressure force, to return to its non-deformed initial state.
- the body can be made from suitable elastic rubber materials or foam materials such as foamed sponge or plastic foam materials that can, for example be selected from the group comprising polystyrol, styrol copolymer, PVC, polycarbonate, polyolefin, polyurethane, polyisocyanurate, polycarbodiimide, polymethacrylimid, polyamide, ABS, phenolic resin and urea resin.
- suitable elastic rubber materials or foam materials such as foamed sponge or plastic foam materials that can, for example be selected from the group comprising polystyrol, styrol copolymer, PVC, polycarbonate, polyolefin, polyurethane, polyisocyanurate, polycarbodiimide, polymethacrylimid, polyamide, ABS, phenolic resin and urea resin.
- the body can, of course, also comprise naturally elastically-reversible materials such as, for example, natural caoutchouc, natural sponge and the like. Of course any other material that ensures the above-
- the surface in its non-deformed state can be completely flat, so as to in this way be able to accommodate a material layer placed on a flat backing in order to later press said material layer onto a relief mould, as a result of which both the material layer and the surface of the body conform to the surface of the body.
- the surface in the non-deformed state of the body can also comprise a surface relief that corresponds to the relief mould.
- a flat material layer that has been put in place would be able to be picked up by means of the body in that the surface is pressed against the material layer, as a result of which the surface relief of the surface elastically deforms such that the surface rests flat against the material layer.
- the material layer can be placed on the relief mould so that the surface relief of the material layer correspondingly matches the relief mould.
- a multitude of suction apertures can be provided on the surface, to which suction apertures a suction stream is applied so that a material layer that contacts the surface is sucked to the surface.
- the device can comprise a suction chamber, by way of which the multitude of suction apertures are subjected to the above- mentioned suction stream.
- negative pressure is applied, by means of a vacuum unit, to the suction chamber itself, with said negative pressure in the form of the above-mentioned suction stream propagating towards the suction apertures.
- the body can comprise a multitude of suction tubes that connect the suction chamber for generating the suction stream, of which suction chamber there is at least one, to the multitude of suction apertures.
- the device comprises a multitude of suction chambers, wherein each one of the multitude of suction chambers is connected to a plurality of the multitude of tubes. In this way, by means of separate activation of the individual suction chambers, it can be ensured that a suction stream is applied in a targeted way to the suction apertures.
- the object of the invention is met by the use of the device according to the invention so as to, with it, place at least one material layer onto a relief mould.
- Fig. 1 concretely explains the problem when placing a material layer in a relief mould
- Fig. 2 concretely explains a first embodiment of the method according to the invention.
- Fig. 3 shows a device according to the invention.
- Fig. 1 shows a relief mould 2 that is laterally delimited by two sidewalls 3. Since the surface of the relief mould 2 comprises a height gap, the material layer 1 that is to be deposited to the relief mould 2 must be of a length that corresponds to the unwinding of the relief mould 2. This makes it necessary for the length of the material layer 1 to be longer than the clearance between the two sidewalls 3, which is why the material layer 1, as indicated in Fig. 1 by the region "A", overlaps the left sidewall 3 so that in this way it cannot be placed flat onto the relief mould 2.
- an elastically- reversibly deformable body 5 with a surface that in the non-deformed initial state of the body comprises a surface relief that corresponds to the relief mould 2 is arranged such that the surface 4 faces the material layer 1 (illustration I in Fig. 1).
- the material layer 1 is placed, for example, on a table (not shown in detail) so that the body 5 with its elastically-reversibly deformable surface 4 can be pressed against the material layer 1, wherein the surface relief of the surface 4 elastically deforms such that the surface 4 rests flat against the material layer 1 , as is concretely shown in illustration II of Fig. 2.
- illustration II it is then, for example, possible to generate a retention force on the surface 4, by means of which retention force the material layer 1 is fixed to the surface 4.
- the pressure force generated in illustration II has been reduced in that the body 5 has been lifted from the table (not shown).
- the device according to the invention for placing a material layer 1 onto a relief mould 2 for producing a composite material is described.
- the device according to the invention comprises a body 5, which on its underside forms a surface relief that matches the relief mould 2, onto which surface relief a material layer 1 is to be placed by means of the device.
- the body 5 comprises an elastically-reversibly deformable material as described above.
- the body 5 is accommodated by a holder 10 of the device, in which a multitude of suction chambers 7 are arranged side by side. Above the suction chambers there is a so- called distributor chamber 9 that is connected to a vacuum suction device 11 and that leads to a vacuum unit (not shown).
- the individual suction chambers 7 can be activated separately, which can, for example, be achieved in that the apertures that connect the individual suction chambers 7 to the distributor chamber 9 can be closed by way of a valve.
