本発明は一方向引揃え繊維プリプレグの新規な製造法に
関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a novel method for producing unidirectionally aligned fiber prepregs.

状態まで繊維束を開繊しシート状とした後、樹脂を含浸
させ製造されるのが一般的である。A thermosetting resin such as epoxy resin, phenolic resin, or unsaturated polyester resin was impregnated as a matrix. So-called unidirectional prepregs are widely used as intermediate materials for composite materials. This kind of prepreg is generally manufactured by arranging a large number of fiber bundles at uniform intervals, opening the fiber bundles until there are no gaps between the fiber bundles, forming a sheet, and then impregnating it with resin. be.
この一方向引揃えプリプレグの特徴のひとつは、繊維が
織布の様に大ぎ(湾曲することな(平行に引揃えられて

させた複合材料が得られることである。One of the characteristics of this unidirectionally aligned prepreg is that the fibers are large (not curved) and aligned parallel to each other like woven fabrics, so they can efficiently (exploit) the strength and elastic modulus of the fibers. It is possible to obtain a composite material with a high temperature.

0.1〜0、15 mwで幅1mのプリプレグな製造す
る際に使用する繊維束は150本〜400本にもなる。The number of fiber bundles used when manufacturing such a unidirectionally aligned prepreg is determined by the thickness or width of the prepreg to be manufactured, the thickness of the fiber bundle used, or the number of filaments, but it is extremely There are many. For example, 150 to 400 fiber bundles are used to manufacture a prepreg with a thickness of 0.1 to 0.15 mw and a width of 1 m.

た成形物は外観に繊維の乱れが発生し。In this way, the tension is made uniform between many fiber bundles, and
It is extremely difficult to pull the fibers together, but if the tension is uneven, the fiber bundle with loose tension will sag, causing the fibers to meander and become disordered. In addition, a fiber bundle with strong tension causes a pull-up phenomenon, which significantly deteriorates the appearance of the prepreg. In addition, molded products using such prepregs have disordered fibers in their appearance.

は大きな空間と大きな費用を要する。In the past, many studies have been made to equalize the tension when pulling together a large number of fiber bundles.In addition, a brake such as a band brake was applied to the shaft when pulling out the bobbin on which the fiber bundles were wound. Attach the device and adjust the brake device so that the tension is constant when pulling out each wire one by one.There is a method, but
Adjusting the tension of hundreds of fiber bundles one by one takes time and effort, and it is almost impossible to adjust because the tension changes over time in the outer and inner layers of the fiber bundle bobbin due to changes in their diameters. Close to. It is also possible to attach a dancing bar or roll to each fiber bundle and control the tension electrically using a powder brake or a special brake device, but this device cannot be used for hundreds of fiber bundles. Installation requires a large amount of space and costs a lot of money.

Introduced into the feed roll (3), and further adjusted to a suitable length L
After traveling through the fiber bundles, the fibers are passed through a tension adjustment device (4) such as a dancer roll, which is adjusted so that a tension T is applied to the entire group of fiber bundles, and the fibers are opened into a sheet by a fiber opening device (5). 6) is supplied to a resin impregnation device or the like.

The feature is that the tension of each fiber bundle is made uniform by slipping the fiber bundles to each other. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram for understanding the mechanism. The tension applied to the group of n fiber bundles is T, and the tension applied to each fiber bundle is 11.

The length of each varies slightly, for example, depending on whether the fiber bundle introduced into the feed roll is rod-shaped or flat, or the fiber bundle usually has some degree of crimp. Therefore, the length of the fiber bundle sent out from the feed roll varies slightly depending on the degree of the difference, and the tension between the sent out fibers is not uniform.

ように数百本の繊維束を張力が不均一なまま、実際には
均一化しようとしても不可能であるが、引張ロール。To explain in more detail, the tension roll (6) shown in FIG. 1 provides sufficient nip pressure to prevent the fiber bundle group from slipping, and the feed roll provides a small nip pressure to allow appropriate slippage. In other words, the peripheral speed of the feed roll is made slower than the peripheral speed of the tension roll. Of course, during this time the tension control device operates normally and the total tension T is
is maintained. Furthermore, if this slip is explained for each fiber bundle, the size of the slip is proportional to the tension t applied to the fiber bundle, so fiber bundles with loose tension have less slip, that is, the amount of feed from the feed roll is small. (The loosening gradually decreases, and finally the tension becomes the same as that of other fiber bundles.Furthermore, fiber bundles with excessive tension have a greater degree of slip than other fiber bundles, and the tension decreases, and finally has the same tension as other fiber bundles.In other words, the fiber bundle is thicker than the average tension T/n of the fiber bundle. , conversely, fiber bundles with a tension smaller than T/n have a small degree of slip (and eventually, as they approach T/n, the fiber bundles slip in the direction of equalizing the tension. This effect It has a surprising effect on equalizing the tension of a large number of aligned fiber bundles.For example, as mentioned above, it is impossible to equalize the tension of several hundred fiber bundles when the tension is uneven. Yes, but it is a tension roll.
送り込みロールをニップし走行を開始すると。When you nip the feed roll and start running.
始めは不均一な繊維束が多く、半数程度がたるんだ状態
にあるが適度なスリップを与えると。Initially, there are many uneven fiber bundles, and about half of them are sagging, but if you give them a suitable amount of slip.
少しずつ均一化し、やがて全繊維束が一平面となるまで
均一化が進む。又、このスリップは全張力Tと送り込み
ロールの圧力を調整することにより任意に調整出来る。The fibers become uniform little by little until all the fiber bundles are on one plane. Further, this slip can be arbitrarily adjusted by adjusting the total tension T and the pressure of the feed roll.
しかしながら一般に全張力Tは2本装置の中の開繊工程
に必要とする張力から決定されることが多(、実質的に
はスリップの調整は送り出しロールのニップ圧で調整す
ることとなる。However, in general, the total tension T is often determined from the tension required for the fiber opening process in the two-piece device (substantially, the slip is adjusted by the nip pressure of the delivery rolls.
本発明考等の詳細な検討の結果、このスリップの度合、
即ち送り出しロールと引張ロールの周速の差は0.5%
〜2%で多(の場合は0.5%〜1チで充分であった。As a result of detailed consideration of the present invention, the degree of this slip,
In other words, the difference in peripheral speed between the delivery roll and the tension roll is 0.5%.
In the case of 2% to 1%, 0.5% to 1% was sufficient.

質なものであった。As described above, the method of the present invention uses a combination of nip rolls and the slip between the nip rolls and fiber bundles to solve the difficult problem of aligning a large number of fiber bundles with uniform tension using a relatively simple device. solved economically and effectively. Further, the one-turn aligned prepreg produced from the aligned fiber bundle sheet produced by this method was of high quality without the above-mentioned meandering or disorder of the fibers.

シートとして引張ロールを通過した。又。It was fed to the delivery roll. On the other hand, the tension control device was adjusted so that the tension between the delivery roll and the tension roll was 120 kpK. First, when the carbon fiber bundle was run at a linear nip pressure of 0.77 kP/cm on the delivery roll, the tension was inconsistent immediately after the start of the run, and about half of the carbon fiber bundles were slack between the delivery roll and the tension control device. However, 6 minutes after the start of running, the sag disappeared and the sheet passed through the tension roll as a neat, flat, aligned sheet. or.
