本発明は、自動積層装置に関し、特に、熱可塑型のプリプレグテープを所定の被積層体の表面に積層する自動積層装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an automatic laminating apparatus, and more particularly to an automatic laminating apparatus for laminating a thermoplastic prepreg tape on the surface of a predetermined laminated body.

現在、強化繊維に熱硬化性又は熱可塑性のマトリックス樹脂を含浸させて調製した繊維強化プラスチックテープ（以下「プリプレグテープ」という）を送出して所定の被積層体の表面に積層する「自動積層装置」を用いて、所望の構造物を製造する技術が種々提案されている。   Currently, "automatic laminator" that sends fiber reinforced plastic tape (hereinafter referred to as "prepreg tape") prepared by impregnating reinforced fiber with thermosetting or thermoplastic matrix resin and laminates it on the surface of a predetermined object. Various techniques for manufacturing a desired structure using "" have been proposed.

例えば、自動積層装置で熱硬化型のプリプレグテープを所定の被積層体の表面に積層した後、オートクレーブで加熱及び加圧を行って熱硬化性樹脂を硬化させることにより所望の構造物を製造する技術が提案されている（例えば、特許文献１参照。）。しかし、かかる技術を採用すると、自動積層装置による積層工程を実施した後に、オートクレーブによる加熱加圧工程を実施する必要があるため、製造費用が嵩む上に製造期間が長期化するという問題がある。   For example, after a thermosetting prepreg tape is laminated on the surface of a predetermined laminated body by an automatic laminating apparatus, a desired structure is manufactured by curing the thermosetting resin by heating and pressing in an autoclave. A technique has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). However, when such a technique is adopted, it is necessary to carry out a heating and pressurizing step by an autoclave after carrying out a laminating step by an automatic laminating apparatus, which causes a problem that the manufacturing cost increases and the manufacturing period is prolonged.

このため、近年においては、図６に示すように、コンパクションローラ３００を用いて、所定の被積層体１００の表面への熱可塑型のプリプレグテープ２００の積層と、このプリプレグテープ２００の加熱及び加圧と、を同時に行い、その後の自然（又は強制）冷却により熱可塑性樹脂を固化させて所望の構造物を製造する「ダイレクトコンソリデーション成形技術」が提案されている（例えば、特許文献２参照。）。
特開２００２−１３７２４１号公報（第２頁、第１図） 特表２００１−５１０７４６号公報（第１６頁、第２図） Therefore, in recent years, as shown in FIG. 6, the compaction roller 300 is used to laminate a thermoplastic prepreg tape 200 on the surface of a predetermined laminated body 100, and to heat and apply the prepreg tape 200. "Direct consolidation molding technique" has been proposed in which a desired structure is produced by simultaneously solidifying a thermoplastic resin by natural (or forced) cooling thereafter (see, for example, Patent Document 2). ).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-137241 (2nd page, FIG. 1) JP-T-2001-510746 (page 16, FIG. 2)

ところで、所定の被積層体１００の表面に積層されたプリプレグテープ２００をダイレクトコンソリデーション成形するためには、プリプレグテープ２００に含まれる熱可塑性樹脂が固化するまで（熱可塑性樹脂の温度がガラス転移温度以下に達するまで）、プリプレグテープ２００に圧力（コンパクションフォースＦC）を加え続けることが好ましい。 By the way, in order to perform direct consolidation molding of the prepreg tape 200 laminated on the surface of the predetermined laminated body 100, until the thermoplastic resin contained in the prepreg tape 200 is solidified (the temperature of the thermoplastic resin is the glass transition temperature). It is preferable to continue to apply pressure (compaction force F C ) to the prepreg tape 200 until the following is reached:

しかし、コンパクションローラ３００を１本のみ採用した図６に示すような従来の自動積層装置においては、プリプレグテープ２００が積層されてから熱可塑性樹脂が固化するまでの間、コンパクションフォースＦCを加え続けることができなかった。このため、図７に示すようにコンパクションローラ３００の進行方向（積層方向）後方のプリプレグテープ２００が被積層体１００の表面から浮き上がる等の事態が発生し、プリプレグテープ２００の層間密着性や表面平滑性が低下して、製品の品質や強度が低下してしまう場合があった。 However, in the conventional automatic laminating apparatus as shown in FIG. 6 in which only one compaction roller 300 is employed, the compaction force F C is continuously applied until the thermoplastic resin is solidified after the prepreg tape 200 is laminated. I couldn't. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 7, a situation occurs such that the prepreg tape 200 behind the compaction roller 300 in the traveling direction (stacking direction) is lifted from the surface of the stacked body 100, and the interlayer adhesion and surface smoothness of the prepreg tape 200 occur. As a result, the quality and strength of the product may decrease.

本発明の課題は、熱可塑型のプリプレグテープを所定の被積層体の表面に積層してダイレクトコンソリデーション成形を行う自動積層装置において、プリプレグテープの層間密着性や表面平滑性の低下を阻止することにより、得られる製品の品質を格段に向上させることである。   An object of the present invention is to prevent a decrease in interlayer adhesion and surface smoothness of a prepreg tape in an automatic laminating apparatus that performs direct consolidation molding by laminating a thermoplastic prepreg tape on the surface of a predetermined laminate. In this way, the quality of the obtained product is greatly improved.

コンパクションローラ４３は、本発明における加熱加圧ローラであり、ローラ回転軸４２ｄを中心に図２（ａ）の矢印方向に回転することによりヘッド部１０と一体的に走行して、送出手段２０から送出されたプリプレグテープ２００を加熱・加圧して被積層体１００の表面に積層するものである。コンパクションローラ４３の内部には円柱状のヒータが内蔵されており、スリップリングを介してこのヒータに電力が供給されることにより、熱可塑性樹脂の溶融温度以上の温度（例えば３００℃〜５００℃）までローラが加熱されることとなる。コンパクションローラ４３は、ヒータによる加熱及び積層時の圧力に耐え得るステンレススチール等の金属材料で構成される。   The compaction roller 43 is a heating and pressing roller according to the present invention, and travels integrally with the head unit 10 by rotating in the direction of the arrow in FIG. The delivered prepreg tape 200 is heated and pressurized to be laminated on the surface of the laminated body 100. A cylindrical heater is built in the compaction roller 43. Electric power is supplied to the heater via a slip ring, so that the temperature is higher than the melting temperature of the thermoplastic resin (for example, 300 ° C. to 500 ° C.). Until the roller is heated. The compaction roller 43 is made of a metal material such as stainless steel that can withstand the heat applied by the heater and the pressure during lamination.

コンパクションプレート４４は、本発明における再加圧プレートであり、コンパクションローラ４３により加圧されて被積層体１００の表面に積層された直後のプリプレグテープ２００を「面」で再加圧し、プリプレグテープ２００に含まれる熱可塑性樹脂の温度がガラス転移温度以下に達するまで圧力を保持するものである。コンパクションプレート４４は、図２（ａ）に示すように、ボルト５０を介して左右揺動部４２の上板部４２ｂに連結された筐体６０の下面に固定されている。   The compaction plate 44 is a re-pressurizing plate according to the present invention, and the prepreg tape 200 immediately after being pressed by the compaction roller 43 and laminated on the surface of the laminated body 100 is re-pressurized with a “surface”. The pressure is maintained until the temperature of the thermoplastic resin contained in the glass reaches a glass transition temperature or lower. As shown in FIG. 2A, the compaction plate 44 is fixed to the lower surface of the housing 60 connected to the upper plate portion 42 b of the left and right swinging portion 42 via bolts 50.

コンパクションプレート４４の前部領域は、加熱手段４５により加熱される。このため、コンパクションプレート４４の下面前部領域で、従来のホットプレスと同様にプリプレグテープ２００を「面」で加熱・加圧することができる。また、コンパクションプレート４４の後部領域は、冷却手段４６により冷却される。このため、コンパクションプレート４４の下面後部領域で、プリプレグテープ２００を加圧したまま熱可塑性樹脂を迅速に冷却して固化させることができる。   The front region of the compaction plate 44 is heated by the heating means 45. For this reason, the prepreg tape 200 can be heated and pressurized on the “surface” in the front lower surface region of the compaction plate 44 in the same manner as the conventional hot press. Further, the rear region of the compaction plate 44 is cooled by the cooling means 46. For this reason, the thermoplastic resin can be rapidly cooled and solidified while the prepreg tape 200 is being pressed in the lower surface rear region of the compaction plate 44.

コンパクションプレート４４は、加熱手段４５による加熱及び積層時の圧力に耐え得る金属材料（ステンレススチール、チタン合金、ニッケル合金、インバー合金等）で構成されている。また、コンパクションプレート４４及び筐体６０の前後方向中央部は、金属板によって仕切られている。そして、この金属板の前方には、加熱手段４５による熱が後方に伝達されるのを阻止するための断熱材が設けられている。   The compaction plate 44 is made of a metal material (stainless steel, titanium alloy, nickel alloy, Invar alloy, or the like) that can withstand the heating pressure and the pressure during lamination. Further, the central portion of the compaction plate 44 and the housing 60 in the front-rear direction is partitioned by a metal plate. A heat insulating material is provided in front of the metal plate to prevent the heat from the heating means 45 from being transmitted rearward.

加熱手段４５は、コンパクションプレート４４の前方領域を加熱するものである。加熱手段４５としては、筐体６０の前方内部やコンパクションプレート４４の前方内部に内蔵されて所定の電源から供給された電力によって加熱される面状のヒータ等を採用することができる。冷却手段４６は、コンパクションプレート４４の後方領域を冷却するものである。冷却手段４６としては、筐体６０の後方内部及びコンパクションプレート４４の後方内部に設けた空気供給管と、コンパクションプレート４４の下面に設けた排気口と、を有し、空気供給管を経由させて排気口に供給される冷却用の圧縮空気を利用した「空冷機構」等を採用することができる。   The heating means 45 heats the front region of the compaction plate 44. As the heating unit 45, a planar heater or the like that is built in the front inside of the housing 60 or the front inside of the compaction plate 44 and is heated by electric power supplied from a predetermined power source can be used. The cooling means 46 cools the rear region of the compaction plate 44. The cooling means 46 has an air supply pipe provided in the rear interior of the housing 60 and in the rear interior of the compaction plate 44, and an exhaust port provided in the lower surface of the compaction plate 44. An “air cooling mechanism” or the like using compressed air for cooling supplied to the exhaust port can be employed.

As shown in FIG. Is provided. The male screw provided at the lower portion of each bolt 50 is screwed into the female screw provided at the upper portion of the housing 60, and the male screw provided at the upper portion of each bolt 50 is the upper plate of the left and right swinging portion 42. It is screwed into a female screw provided in the portion 42b. And the level of the compaction plate 44 can be adjusted by changing the threaded dimensions of the male threads of the respective bolts 50. That is, the bolt 50 is a leveling adjusting means in the present invention.

続いて、図１及び図３を用いて、本実施の形態に係る自動積層装置１の積層動作について説明する。   Subsequently, a stacking operation of the automatic stacking apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3.

まず、自動積層装置１のヘッド部１０を図１に示すように所定の被積層体１００の上方に配置し、送出手段２０により送出したプリプレグテープ２００の端部近傍部分を、コンパクションユニット４０を用いて被積層体１００の表面に溶着する。自動積層装置１の制御装置は、このような初期状態からヘッド部１０を駆動して図１の矢印方向に移動させるとともに、送出手段２０を駆動してプリプレグテープ２００を所定の速度で送出させる。   First, as shown in FIG. 1, the head unit 10 of the automatic laminating apparatus 1 is disposed above a predetermined laminated body 100, and a portion near the end of the prepreg tape 200 delivered by the delivery means 20 is used with the compaction unit 40. And welded to the surface of the laminated body 100. The control device of the automatic laminating apparatus 1 drives the head unit 10 from such an initial state and moves it in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1, and also drives the feeding means 20 to feed the prepreg tape 200 at a predetermined speed.

送出手段２０によって送出されたプリプレグテープ２００は、ガスヒータ３００及びコンパクションローラ４３によって加熱されるとともに、図３に示すようにコンパクションローラ４３により加圧されて被積層体１００の表面に積層される。そして、コンパクションローラ４３によって加圧された直後のプリプレグテープ２００は、図３に示すように、加熱手段４５で加熱されたコンパクションプレート４４の下面前部領域によって加熱・加圧された後、冷却手段４６で冷却されたコンパクションプレート４４の下面後部領域によって圧力を保持したまま冷却されて固化することとなる。   The prepreg tape 200 delivered by the delivery means 20 is heated by the gas heater 300 and the compaction roller 43, and is pressed by the compaction roller 43 and laminated on the surface of the stack 100 as shown in FIG. Then, the prepreg tape 200 immediately after being pressed by the compaction roller 43 is heated and pressed by the lower surface front region of the compaction plate 44 heated by the heating means 45 as shown in FIG. The compaction plate 44 cooled at 46 is cooled and solidified while maintaining the pressure by the rear region on the lower surface of the compaction plate 44.

以上説明した実施の形態に係る自動積層装置１においては、コンパクションローラ４３により加圧された直後のプリプレグテープ２００を加圧するコンパクションプレート４４を備えるので、プリプレグテープ２００が積層されてから熱可塑性樹脂が固化するまでの間、プリプレグテープ２００を「面」で加圧してコンパクションフォースＦCを充分に加えることができる。従って、プリプレグテープ２００の層間密着性や表面平滑性の低下を阻止することができるので、得られる製品の品質を格段に向上させることができる。 The automatic laminating apparatus 1 according to the embodiment described above includes the compaction plate 44 that presses the prepreg tape 200 immediately after being pressed by the compaction roller 43, so that the thermoplastic resin is applied after the prepreg tape 200 is stacked. Until solidification, the prepreg tape 200 can be pressurized by “surface” to sufficiently add the compaction force F C. Accordingly, since it is possible to prevent a decrease in interlayer adhesion and surface smoothness of the prepreg tape 200, the quality of the obtained product can be significantly improved.

また、以上説明した実施の形態に係る自動積層装置１においては、加熱手段４５によってコンパクションプレート４４の下面前部領域を加熱することができるので、この加熱された下面前部領域を用いて、従来のホットプレスと同様にプリプレグテープ２００を「面」で加熱・加圧することができる。また、冷却手段４６によってコンパクションプレート４４の下面後部領域を冷却することができるので、この冷却された下面後部領域を用いて、プリプレグテープ２００にコンパクトフォースＦCを加えたまま、熱可塑性樹脂を迅速に冷却して固化させることができる。従って、プリプレグテープ２００の層間密着性や表面平滑性をさらに向上させることができ、製品の一層の高品質化を実現させることができる。 Further, in the automatic laminating apparatus 1 according to the embodiment described above, since the lower surface front region of the compaction plate 44 can be heated by the heating means 45, the heated lower surface front region is used in the prior art. Similarly to the hot pressing, the prepreg tape 200 can be heated and pressurized on the “surface”. Further, it is possible to cool the lower surface rear area of the compaction plate 44 by the cooling means 46, with the cooled bottom surface rear regions, while adding a compact force F C to the prepreg tape 200, the thermoplastic resin rapidly It can be cooled and solidified. Therefore, interlayer adhesion and surface smoothness of the prepreg tape 200 can be further improved, and further quality improvement of the product can be realized.

It can be brought into close contact with the tape 200. Therefore, the compact force F C can be reliably added to the prepreg tape 200, so that the interlayer adhesion and surface smoothness of the prepreg tape 200 can be further improved.

なお、以上の実施の形態においては、図２に示すように、前後左右４本のボルト５０を介して、左右揺動部４２の上板部４２ｂに筐体６０を固定した例を示したが、図４に示すように、前後左右４つのバネ７０を介して、左右揺動部４２の上板部４２ｂに筐体６０を連結することもできる。   In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, an example is shown in which the housing 60 is fixed to the upper plate portion 42 b of the left and right swinging portion 42 via the four bolts 50 in the front and rear and left and right directions. As shown in FIG. 4, the housing 60 can also be connected to the upper plate portion 42 b of the left and right swinging portion 42 via the four front and rear springs 70.

このように左右揺動部４２の上板部４２ｂと筐体６０との間にバネ７０を介設することにより、コンパクションプレート４４の前後左右部分の上下方向における移動が許容されるため、走行中のコンパクションプレート４４の下面を被積層体１００の表面形状に追随させ密着させることができる。すなわち、バネ７０は、本発明における表面追随手段である。また、バネ７０に代えて、エアシリンダ等の緩衝機能を有する機構を左右揺動部４２の上板部４２ｂと筐体６０との間に介設することもできる。   Since the spring 70 is interposed between the upper plate portion 42b of the left and right swinging portion 42 and the housing 60 in this way, the front and rear, left and right portions of the compaction plate 44 are allowed to move in the vertical direction. The lower surface of the compaction plate 44 can be brought into close contact with the surface shape of the stacked body 100. That is, the spring 70 is a surface following means in the present invention. Further, instead of the spring 70, a mechanism having a buffering function such as an air cylinder may be interposed between the upper plate portion 42b of the left and right swinging portion 42 and the housing 60.

また、以上の実施の形態においては、前方部分に加熱手段４５を有し後方部分に冷却手段４６を有する１つの筐体６０の下面に、１枚のコンパクションプレート４４を固定した例を示したが、これら筐体６０及びコンパクションプレート４４を前部領域と後部領域とに分割することもできる。   In the above embodiment, an example is shown in which one compaction plate 44 is fixed to the lower surface of one housing 60 having the heating means 45 in the front portion and the cooling means 46 in the rear portion. The housing 60 and the compaction plate 44 can be divided into a front region and a rear region.

例えば、図５に示すように、加熱手段４５を有する前方筐体６０ｆの下面に前方コンパクションプレート４４ｆを固定するとともに、冷却手段４６を有する後方筐体６０ｒの下面に後方コンパクションプレート４４ｆを固定するようにする。また、図５に示すように、左右揺動部４２の上板部４２ｂと前方筐体６０ｆとの間に左右一組のバネ７０を介設するとともに、左右揺動部４２の上板部４２ｂと後方筐体６０ｒとの間に左右一組のバネ７０を介設することもできる。かかる場合には、前方コンパクションプレート４４ｆと後方コンパクションプレート４４ｒとを別々に上下に移動させることができるので、被積層体１００の表面形状への追随性をさらに高めることができる。   For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the front compaction plate 44f is fixed to the lower surface of the front casing 60f having the heating means 45, and the rear compaction plate 44f is fixed to the lower surface of the rear casing 60r having the cooling means 46. To. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a pair of left and right springs 70 are interposed between the upper plate portion 42b of the left and right swinging portion 42 and the front housing 60f, and the upper plate portion 42b of the left and right swinging portion 42 is provided. A pair of left and right springs 70 can be interposed between the rear housing 60r and the rear housing 60r. In such a case, the front compaction plate 44f and the rear compaction plate 44r can be separately moved up and down, so that the followability to the surface shape of the stacked body 100 can be further enhanced.
