Description

Preparation method of metal and composite material extreme low temperature resistant waterproof conformal radome
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of radome preparation, in particular to a metal and composite material ultralow-temperature-resistant waterproof conformal radome and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Radomes are structures that protect the antenna system from the external environment; on one hand, the electric performance needs to have good wave transmission performance and lower electric loss, and on the other hand, the mechanical performance can withstand the action of external severe environment; the airborne radome has good strength and natural environment adaptability due to long-term exposure to the ground and high-altitude flight environment, and also has corresponding antenna mounting interface and load bearing capacity for the antenna body to be mounted inside; with the development of special requirements such as light weight, integration and stealth, the application of the onboard conformal radome is more and more, and the special effect of the aircraft skin for bearing pneumatic load is considered besides the basic capability; therefore, high strength, multifunction and high reliability are important indicators of the onboard conformal radome.
The conformal radome of the airborne platform generally works in a complex external environment, and the radome faces the examination of severe alternating environments such as temperature, humidity, rainwater, dust, solar radiation and the like for a long time, so that the requirements on the preparation process of the radome are high; particularly for equipment platforms such as unmanned aerial vehicles and the like which fly high, the ground environment temperature can be up to 70 ℃, and the plane surface temperature can be down to-68 ℃ or even lower during high-altitude flight, so that the environment adaptability requirement of the radome is very high; for the high-altitude airborne conformal radome, the requirements of an aircraft platform are met from the aspects of an installation interface and appearance, wave transmission performance is considered, installation of an internal antenna body is considered, the requirements of severe environments such as extremely low temperature for a long time are met, the quality problems such as water inflow, paint cracking, moisture absorption and layering are avoided, and great difficulty is brought to the preparation technology of the high-altitude airborne conformal radome.
The airborne radome is generally molded by adopting epoxy resin and other resins as matrix materials and adopting glass fiber, quartz fiber and other fiber materials as reinforcing materials; the main forming process is that two materials are firstly made into prepreg cloth to realize resin and fiber fabrics, and then the prepreg cloth is formed by paving layers by layers on a forming die and then curing by a vacuum autoclave process, wherein the process is also called a composite material forming technology; the composite material product prepared by adopting the autoclave process generally has larger X, Y-directional tensile strength, but has poorer shearing strength, and is mainly characterized by weaker bonding force between Z-directional layers, and is difficult to bear larger Z-directional load.
Because the antenna performance is closely related to the relative position accuracy of the antenna housing and the antenna body, the antenna body is directly arranged on the antenna housing in a common use mode; for the mounting concrete scheme of the conformal antenna of the plane, the main implementation measures are as follows:
1. directly processing countersunk mounting holes on the radome, and fixing the antenna body to the radome through the mounting holes; according to the scheme, on one hand, the surface integrity of the radome is greatly damaged, the appearance attractiveness is influenced, the risk that rainwater enters the antenna body is also brought, meanwhile, the antenna body is directly arranged on the composite material, so that the radome is difficult to bear the load intensity in the Z-direction long time, and serious quality risks such as composite material cracking exist;
2. riveting a metal transition member after the antenna housing composite material is formed, and installing an antenna body through the metal transition member; the problem of damaging the integrity and the appearance of the surface of the radome still exists, and the risk of cracking and falling off of paint on the rivet head after the rivet head is stressed in a long-term environment exists;
3. embedding a metal component when the antenna housing composite material is formed, processing a threaded hole on the metal component, and then installing an antenna body; the process has the advantages that the surface integrity of the radome is prevented from being damaged, but the risk is that a larger thermal expansion coefficient difference exists between the composite material of the radome and the metal component material, and the temperature of the composite material of the radome is generally higher than 150 ℃ in the forming process, so that when the radome returns to the room temperature after being formed, a larger internal stress exists in the radome, and the significant quality problem of the interfacial cracking of the radome and the embedded metal component is likely to occur in long-term outdoor high-low temperature environments, particularly in extremely low temperature environments.
