Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for producing a large-area fibre-composite structural component, in particular for the aircraft sector.
- CRP carbon-fibre reinforced plastics
- wing trusses For example, lightweight carbon-fibre reinforced plastics (CRP) are used for the production of wing trusses, landing flaps, rear fuselage sections with horizontal and vertical tail empennages and the aforementioned pressure dome.
- CRP carbon-fibre reinforced plastics
- airliners fly at altitudes of about 10 to 15 km. To be able to survive at these altitudes, a pressurized cabin is required. In this, a pressure that corresponds to a flying height of approximately 3 km is maintained.
- the pressure dome forms the rear end part for this pressurized cabin. During the flight, it bears the entire internal cabin pressure. Together with a ring of titanium, for example, and numerous angles for introducing force into the fuselage structure, the dome is mounted in a clamped manner on the assigned ring in front of the vertical empennage.
- prepregs resin-impregnated carbon fibre strips
- the methods so far known to the applicant for the manual laying of the prepreg strips are mainly suitable for geometries that are simple and have little curvature. In the case of more complex geometries to be laid, the laying rate is reduced to a value that is no longer economical. Furthermore, the pre-impregnated prepreg strips are relatively expensive and can only be stored under certain conditions.
- a predetermined shaping element is provided, a fibrous sheet is laid in a defined manner over or into the predetermined shaping element by means of a controllable laying device; the predetermined shaping element and the laying device are turned by means of a controllable turning device in relation to each other by a predetermined turning angle; and a further fibrous sheet is laid in a defined manner on top of the already laid fibrous sheet by means of the controllable laying device.
- a number of fibrous sheets or nonwoven carpets can be laid in an automated and defined manner one on top of the other with predetermined directions of orientation in such a way that the formation of folds or waves, in particular in the edge region of the structural component, is advantageously prevented on account of the exact controlling of the laying operation. Consequently, structural components with any imaginable geometry, in particular also with highly curved surfaces, can be produced by the novel laying method and the novel apparatus. Moreover, on account of the automated laying, the laying rate is advantageously increased and the times when the apparatus is busy are reduced.
- the predetermined shaping element has the form of the structural component to be produced, for example in the case of a pressure dome to be produced the form of a turned-out shallow dish with an oval or circular cross section.
- the shaping element serves for the laying of the corresponding resin layer and the individual fibrous sheet and predefines the form of the structural component to be produced.
- the automated laying method and the controllable laying device also allow quite highly curved shaping elements to be covered with the corresponding fibrous sheets economically and without the formation of folds .
- the laying device has four lifting columns, which are arranged in pairs around the shaping element and can be synchronously controlled by the central control device.
- Each pair of lifting columns is preferably respectively assigned a vertically adjustable cross member, which respectively comprise two receiving carriages that can be displaced synchronously along the respective cross member and are intended for receiving predetermined fibrous sheet rolls.
- the receiving carriages on the one hand and the cross members on the other hand are adjusted transversely and vertically by the central control device in such a way that automated and defined guiding of the fibrous sheet rolls over the shaping element is accomplished, and consequently defined laying of the fibrous sheet on the shaping element.
- the central control device activates the lifting columns for a synchronous vertical adjustment of the assigned cross members along the lifting columns and the receiving carriages for a synchronous transverse adjustment of the receiving carriages, and consequently the fibrous sheet rolls r along the cross members suitably in a predetermined way.
- two fibrous sheet rolls are guided uniformly and synchronously from the centre of the predetermined shaping element to the edge of the same by means of the laying device controlled by the central control device, for uniform laying of the fibrous sheet over or into the predetermined shaping element above the same.
- synchronous controlling of the receiving carriages and of the lifting columns is performed by the central control device.
- a number of fibrous sheets are laid one on top of the other over or into the predetermined shaping element, the central control device instigating that, after each laying of a fibrous sheet, the predetermined shaping element is turned by means of the turning device by a predetermined turning angle, for example 30°, in relation to the laying device and is arrested. Consequently, a predetermined rolling rate, a predetermined advancing rate and/or a predetermined advancing amount of the fibrous sheet to be laid can be advantageously controlled by the central control device during the laying of the said sheet over or into the shaping element.
- the laying device in the event of a failure of the automatic controlling by means of the central control device, the laying device is operated in emergency mode for manual laying of the fibrous sheet. Consequently, a laying operation that has been commenced can be manually completed, in order to prevent loss of the component.

- the shaping element 1 is advantageously formed as a turned-out, shallow dish.
- the shaping element 1 may have, for example, an oval or circular cross-sectional form.
- prepreg doublers and/or edge reinforcing layers are first applied to predetermined locations on the surface of the shaping element 1, for example to reinforce cutouts or the like that are later to be - - provided in the pressure dome.
- Segment doublers and edge reinforcing layers comprise prepreg blanks and are supplied for example by means of an ultrasonic cutter and positioned at the corresponding locations of the shaping element.
- a suitable resin film is correspondingly cut to size by means of templates and laid over the entire shaping element 1.
- nonwoven sheets of preferably a carbon-fibre reinforced plastic are joined together by a suitable joining method, for example sewing, tacking, knitting, adhesive bonding or the like, to form a large-area nonwoven carpet 15.
- a suitable joining method for example sewing, tacking, knitting, adhesive bonding or the like.
- the nonwoven sheets are preferably joined together without previously being enveloped in synthetic resin. Resin-free carbon fibre fabrics can be handled more easily than sticky prepregs .
- a large nonwoven carpet 15 is produced in advance, for example from carbon fibre material in which the carbon fibres are preferably arranged in the longitudinal and transverse directions.
- a number of these nonwoven carpets 15, preferably six, are laid one on top of the other in different directions, which is explained in more detail further below.
- the nonwoven carpets 15 are advantageously already in each case prefabricated to the form of the structural component to be produced, in order to minimize as much as possible the scrap produced.
- the sewn-together nonwoven carpets 15 to be laid are in each case wound up uniformly and symmetrically onto a roll system comprising preferably two nonwoven rolls, so that in the wound-up state the axis of symmetry of the nonwoven carpet 15 is preferably arranged between the two nonwoven rolls.
- the nonwoven rolls are provided in the figures with the reference numerals 2 and 3.

- the two pairs of lifting columns are preferably arranged symmetrically in relation to each other and have in each case an assigned cross member 5.
- each cross member 5 Integrated in each cross member 5 are, for example, two synchronously, electromotively driven receiving carriages 6, which are displaceably mounted so as to slide in the transverse direction along the assigned cross member 5 by means of controlling by a central control device.
- the cross members 5 are in turn preferably vertically adjustable by the lifting columns 4, which can be synchronously controlled by the central control device, so that the receiving carriages 6 can be synchronously adjusted both in the transverse direction and in the vertical direction by appropriate controllings .
- the nonwoven rolls 2, 3 are preferably provided in the rolled-up state in a suitable transporting car 8, which is positioned by means of suitable positioning means 9 in relation to the receiving carriages 6, as is evident for example in Figures 1 to 3.
- the nonwoven rolls 2, 3 are received in a defined transfer position directly from a transporting car 8 and made to move from the receiving position represented in Figure 1 into the position represented in Figure 2.
- the lifting columns 4 are controlled by means of the central control device in such a way that the assigned cross members are adjusted to a predetermined height after receiving the rolls.
- the receiving carriages 6, which in each case have for example electromotive drives which are connected to the central control device for controlling of the same, are made to move by appropriate controlling from the position represented in Figure 2 along the cross members 5 into the initial laying position according to Figure 4.
- the laying rolls 2, 3 are preferably over the centre of the shaping element 1. Exact positioning of the nonwoven rolls 2, 3 or the nonwoven carpet 15 to be laid with respect to the shaping element is accomplished for example by means of applied markings and/or an additional positioning device, for example an optical positioning device.
- the overall sequence of movements of the nonwoven rolls 2, 3 is made up of the vertical adjustment of the cross members 5 and the transverse adjustment of the receiving carriages 6, the overall laying operation and nonwoven roll guiding operation being accomplished under program control by the central control device.
- the lifting columns 4 and the receiving carriages 6 are preferably controlled in a synchronous and defined manner by the central control device in such a way that the nonwoven carpet 15 rolled up on the nonwoven rolls 2, 3 is laid in an automated manner at a predetermined, defined rolling rate, advancing rate and/or advancing amount onto the shaping body 1.
- the two nonwoven rolls 2, 3 are brought uniformly from the centre of the shaping element 1 to the edge of the same, as schematically represented by the states of the nonwoven rolls 2, 3 in Figures 4 and 5.
- the nonwoven rolls 2, 3 are preferably guided in a self-supporting manner approximately 50 mm above the shaping element 1.
- the roll drives of the nonwoven rolls 2, 3 advantageously do not exert any additional forces on the nonwoven carpet 15.
- Suitable centring pins 7 at the ends of the nonwoven rolls 2, 3 serve to ensure that they are exactly received on the assigned receiving carriages 6 and that the nonwoven rolls 2, 3 are exactly guided over the shaping element 1.
- Such defined, automatic unrolling of the nonwoven carpet 15 to be laid onto the shaping element 1 allows a high laying rate and fold-free or wave-free laying to be achieved, even in the edge regions.
- This automated laying operation also ensures a reproducible laying process, so that even structural components with highly curved surfaces are accomplished without the formation of folds, for good attachment to assigned mounting parts .
- the apparatus according to the present preferred exemplary embodiment also has, furthermore, a turntable 10, on which the shaping element 1 is mounted.
- the turntable 10 is preferably likewise connected to the central control device for turning control of the same. Such a turning movement is preferably accomplished by means of an electromotive drive 11, which can be controlled by the central control device in a way known per se.
- the turntable 10 also has, for example, a positioning device 12, which serves for exactly positioning the turntable 10 by the prescribed turning angle. Suitable controlling accordingly allows the turntable 10 to move the shaping element 1 into any turned position.
- the shaping element 1 is turned on the turntable 10 by means of the controlled electromotive drive 11, by for example 30°, in relation to the lifting column system and is suitably fixed.
- This operation can be repeated several times in succession in a suitable way.
- nonwoven carpets 15 of this kind are laid one on top of the other, turned by 30° in different directions. It is obvious to a person skilled in the art that a number of nonwoven carpets 15 other than six may be laid one on top of the other, the turning angle of the turning device preferably being adapted correspondingly to the number of nonwoven carpets 15 to be laid.
- prepreg reinforcements such as those initially applied are in turn applied, preferably symmetrically in relation to the latter, in the predetermined regions of the shaping element 1.

- the synthetic resin for example epoxy resin, laid as films, is pressed between the individual nonwoven carpets 15 by a vacuum and is cured.
- the desired structural component for example a pressure dome for an aircraft, is obtained after removal from the shaping element 1.
- Suitable guidance control of the nonwoven rolls advantageously allows damage to the fibres of the nonwoven carpets 15 to be avoided during the laying operation.
- the apparatus additionally has for example a positioning device, which is formed for example as a linear laser projector.
- This positioning device serves in particular for positioning the prepreg reinforcements to be laid on the shaping element 1, or stiffeners to be additionally applied, in conjunction with the defined turntable position.
- All component parts of the installation that come into contact with or reach over the nonwoven carpet 15 are advantageously designed in such a way as to preclude soiling of the nonwoven carpet 15 and any not fully cured stiffeners, for example by fluff, abrasive matter, oil or colour particles.
- All drive devices of the turntable 10 and of the entire laying device 4, 5, 6 are also preferably guarded with sheet metal covers to prevent operating personnel reaching in. Moreover, these covers guard the nonwoven carpets 15 against the escape of any operating fluids or materials that may be present.
- the apparatus explained in more detail above normally operates in automatic mode, in which the central control device controls the guidance of the nonwoven rolls for laying the nonwoven carpets 15 onto the shaping element 1.
- an emergency mode is preferably provided, a mode in which a laying operation that has been commenced can be manually completed, in order to prevent loss of the structural component.
- an emergency-off device is preferably installed in compliance with safety regulations.
- Figure 6 schematically illustrates a left-side view of an apparatus for producing a large-area fibre-composite structural component according to a further preferred exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
- the apparatus has a movable podium 13, which is formed for example as a staircase landing with foldable platforms 14.
- possible adjusting and folding movements are schematically represented by the indicated arrows.
- the podium 13 is rail-guided, to allow the tilting moment in a working position to be absorbed, the rail system advantageously being sunk in the floor of the factory to avoid edges that could be tripped over.
- the podium 13 may for example be made to move manually or electronically by means of an assigned control device and be arrested in the respective servicing and/or working position.
- the shaping element 1 can be reached by the operating personnel at any time and at any location.
- the laying device may also comprise a square frame which is mounted by means of a number of rollers on a ring rail.
- the ring rail is provided for example with a number of bores, in order to fix the frame in the respectively desired angle of orientation by stop pins.
- the shaping element is fixedly mounted in the middle of the ring rail, which is for example bolted to the floor, so that a relative turning of the frame in relation to the shaping element is accomplished by turning the square frame along the ring rail .
- arcuate running rails Preferably fastened on the rotatably mounted, square frame are two arcuate running rails, on each of which two controllable carriages are adjustably mounted. Rotatably mounted on each carriage is one end of the nonwoven rolls. By suitable controlling of the carriages, the latter are synchronously guided along the arcuate running rails, so that the nonwoven rolls roll out, for example from the centre of the shaping element over the shaping element to the edge of the same.
- the form of the arcuate running rails is to be adapted here to the form of the shaping element or the form of the structural component to be produced.
