Definitions
- the present invention relates to a lightweight structure and a method for producing a lightweight structure, in particular for aircraft.
- the sandwich inner layers such shell elements or shell structures are usually made very thin and can not usually take over the pressure, tensile or shear loads due to the narrow web width of the reinforcing element. Therefore, in this area in the shell usually no core material can be inserted to allow a direct bond with the outer layer.
- additional layers of fiber composite material must be introduced, which increases the weight. This recess of the sandwich material in this area as well as the incorporation of the reinforcing material require a significant overhead in production.
- US 2008/0295334 A1 discloses a method in which two structural elements, such as, for example, a frame element and a skin of an aircraft wing, are connected to one another.
- a U-shaped rail is placed on the frame member in the region of the end face, which extends laterally a piece over the side surfaces of the frame member addition.
- This rail thus forms a wide surface, which is used for connection to the second structural elements, the connection being made by gluing.
- WO 2012/091695 A1 discloses a similar connecting device which has tabs projecting laterally on a structural component in order to provide the largest possible connecting surface to a further structural component.
- US 2004/0051005 A1 describes a fastening device for fastening metal parts to the surface of a composite panel.
- the connector has L- and U-shaped fiber reinforced layers which are nested and bonded together and to the composite panel to provide a receptacle for the metal part.
- US 2005/0064134 A1 discloses an apparatus, a system and a method for connecting components with a serrated tension connection.
- This train connection comprises a base element and a serrated element.
- the train connection is screwed to a plate-shaped component and / or glued and connected to a drawstring. Tensile forces are absorbed by the plate-shaped component via the tension connection and introduced into the tension band.
- a lightweight structure In aircraft construction of small to medium-sized aircraft, however, a lightweight structure has prevailed, are used in which Strukturwandungen consisting of a first fiber outer layer, an intermediate layer and a second outer fiber layer, wherein in the region of the end faces of the Strukturwandungen elongated slivers between the opposite Fiber outer layers are used.
- the elongated fiber slivers serve to absorb tensile forces along the longitudinal direction of the structure walls.
- the invention has for its object a lightweight structure and a method for producing a lightweight structure, in particular for aircraft to create, with which a very stable, lightweight lightweight structure can be efficiently produced.
- the lightweight construction structure has at least one substantially plate-shaped structural transformation and an enveloping element.
- the structure wall and the cladding element are each formed from a fiber composite material.
- the structure wall is formed from a first outer fiber layer, an intermediate layer and a second outer fiber layer.
- a U-shaped connection profile or reinforcing profile is arranged, which has a base wall and two side walls.
- the base wall is at the end face of the structure wall and the side walls of the U-shaped connection profile are disposed adjacent the outer surfaces of the first and second outer fiber layers and bonded to the fiber outer layers.
- the sheath element has a fiber composite reinforcement band.
- the sheath element and the structure walls are connected to one another, wherein the structure wall bears with its end face against the fiber composite reinforcement band.
- the lightweight structure according to the invention can be produced much more simply and quickly, since the fiber composite reinforcement band can be laminated on the covering element in a planar manner , This is much easier than arranging and bonding elongated fibers between the outer fiber layers of the structure wall.
- the fiber-reinforced band can basically be arbitrarily wide and arbitrarily strong in order to absorb corresponding tensile forces.
- the structure wall itself does not have to absorb tensile forces, but merely to keep the enveloping element in its position and preferably two opposing enveloping elements at a distance.
- the U-shaped connection profile serves to establish a firm connection between the enveloping element and the structure wall. Since only forces in the plane of the structure wall are introduced into the structure wall and the proportion of forces in the longitudinal direction of the structure wall is low, since the tensile forces are absorbed by the fiber composite reinforcement strip in the longitudinal direction of the structure wall, the surface of the base wall of the structural wall is sufficient to connect the structure walls to the cover element U-shaped connection profile. There are no additional on the outer surfaces of the structure wall projecting connecting portions necessary. It is also sufficient that one or more U-shaped connection profiles are provided only in sections on the end face of the structure wall.
- the structure wall can initially be produced almost completely with an automatic process.
- the joining of the structure wall to the enveloping element takes place by bringing the not yet cured fiber composite reinforcing strip under pressure into contact with the structure wall.
- the fiber composite reinforcement tape consists of reinforcing fibers embedded in a matrix material.
- the not yet cured matrix material connects to the end face of the structure wall and in particular to the or the U-shaped connection profile.
- additional adhesive This is particularly expedient if the structure wall is not at right angles to the enveloping element, so that a wedge-shaped gap between the end face of the structure wall and the enveloping element is filled.
- the U-shaped connection profile is preferably formed from a fiber composite material.
- the fiber direction of this element preferably runs diagonally to the longitudinal extent of the U-shaped connection profile, so that the remaining tensile / compressive forces can be optimally introduced into the structural components from the longitudinal reinforcement band.
- the fiber composite reinforcement band preferably extends parallel to the structure wall over the entire length (or even only a part of the length of the structural component) or width of the enveloping element.
- the U-shaped connection profile can also be formed from two L-shaped connection profiles, overlapping the region of the end face of the structure wall, each with a leg for forming the base.
- U-shaped connection profiles may be arranged in sections on the end face of the structure wall.
- the U-shaped connection profiles may be arranged at a distance from each other on the end face of the structure wall.
- the U-shaped connection profile can be slotted in the region of the side wall, so that it is flexible in the region of the base. As a result, any spatial shapes and in particular curves can be formed with the end faces of the structure walls. Since the fiber composite reinforcement tape is flexible prior to bonding to the cover member, the fiber composite reinforcement tape may generally be formed into any shape before it is cured. The lightweight structure according to the invention thus allows any shape.
- the structure walls are made by laminating and curing the interlayer with the two outer fiber layers and then cut into a desired shape. It is thus possible to produce large sheets of fiber composite materials from which a plurality of structural walls are cut.
- the cutting of the structural walls is preferably fully automatic with appropriate cutting or milling machines.
- the structure walls can be made so easily with any contour or shape.
- the structural wall is preferably made by using as interleaf a filling material, such as foam, wherein at least one hole is cut into the filling material into which a reinforcing body of a material having a higher strength than the filling material is inserted. and then the filler together with the reinforcing body with the two outer fiber layers is laminated and cured.
- a filling material such as foam
- This aspect of the present invention can also be used for other lightweight structures in which the structural wall is not connected to a U-shaped connection profile according to the invention with an enveloping element.
- the insertion of reinforcing body into the filling material prior to lamination of the fiber outer layers thus constitutes an independent idea of the invention.
- the filling material may be made of a foam, honeycomb or tubular material or another material which transmits the transverse forces from one outer fiber layer to the other fiber material. Can transfer outer layer and thus reliably keeps the fiber outer layer at a distance.
- a reinforcing body a wood body, a metal body, in particular an aluminum body, and / or a fiber composite body may be used.
- the fiber composite body in turn, consists of a filling material, which is coated with fiber outer layer. The thickness of such a fiber composite body corresponds to the thickness of the filling material so that it can be introduced flush with the surface.
- a plurality of structural walls are assembled into a skeleton.
- the framework is then connected to the sheath element and at least one fiber composite reinforcement band is substantially parallel to a structural transformation.
- the individual structural walls need not be firmly connected to each other. It suffices a plug connection or a temporary adhesive connection.
- the corners of the connectors can be glued after fixing with prefabricated angle profiles.
- the strength of the entire lightweight structure is achieved by the connection at several points of the Hüllettis with one and preferably the plurality of structural walls.
- the present invention is concerned with the displacement of the tensile and compressive forces from a component subjected to bending stress, e.g. a wing spar, a reinforcing rib or e.g. a rib in the wrapping element.
- a component subjected to bending stress e.g. a wing spar, a reinforcing rib or e.g. a rib in the wrapping element.
- a component subjected to bending stress e.g. a wing spar, a reinforcing rib or e.g. a rib in the wrapping element.
- the most important point of the present invention is the displacement of the tensile and compressive forces from the spar edge region or from the structure wall into the shell or the enveloping element.
- the structure wall can be milled out of a sandwich panel material with a CNC milling machine to save time and money.
- the structure wall essentially only transfers the shear forces from top to bottom and absorbs low shear forces. In contrast to the prior art, however, the structure wall absorbs almost no tensile and compressive forces of the bending load.
- the tensile and compressive forces are absorbed by the fiber composite reinforcement tape which is laminated to the inner layer of the airfoil or wrapper.
- Width of the webbing is a direct force on the wrapping possible.
- the enveloping element can therefore pass through without interruption.
- a fiber composite reinforcement band in the region between the end face of the structure wall and in particular between the end face and the base wall of the connection profile.
- the spar or the rib can be milled from a sandwich plate material.
- the tensile and compressive forces are absorbed by a train-pressure band, but this is within the U-profile.
- This tape can be introduced when gluing the U-profile on the milled component.
- a variant is also that are cut from a plate with longitudinal fibers strips, which are glued when gluing the U-profile between the U-profile and the plate edge.
- Such a structure wall can be arranged at locations in a lightweight structure, on which no fiber composite reinforcement tape is provided on the enveloping element or in which the structure wall is not applied to an enveloping element.
- This method also offers the possibility that even curved edges can be executed in this way.
- the tension-pressure band is here relatively thin or executed in several thinner layers, the U-profile is cut straight or V-shaped at the side edges. As a result, the U-profile can be set to radii. Due to the thin design of the prefabricated tension-compression band, this will be placed around the radii. With smaller radii, the tape can also be inserted as a wet laminate.
