    摘要: A method of molding composite materials including shaping a laminate having fiber sheets laminated over one another, by bending the laminate in an X-direction and a Y-direction, in a three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system. The method further includes mounting the laminate that has been shaped, onto a mold material deformed in a Z-direction, impregnating a resin material into the laminate while adjusting an amount of the resin material filled in, and molding the composite materials that have cured such that the composite materials are shaped to have a first inclined surface inclined at a first inclination angle with respect to a reference plane in the Z-direction. The mold material has a first inclination molding surface that molds the first inclined surface, and a second inclination molding surface that molds a surface of the composite materials into a second inclined surface having a second inclination angle smaller than the first inclination angle.

    摘要: A method for molding a composite material obtained by laying up a fiber-reinforced base material includes: disposing a lay-up in which the fiber-reinforced base material is laid up, on a molding surface of a molding jig; covering the lay-up with a film to hermetically seal the lay-up; supplying resin toward the lay-up from a resin supplying unit; sucking atmosphere in the film from a degassing waterproof unit while blocking the resin in the film from passing to impregnate the lay-up with the resin; and discharging the resin in the film from a resin discharging unit after the lay-up is impregnated with the resin. The resin supplying unit is provided on the film side. The degassing waterproof unit is provided on the molding surface side and along one direction in a plane perpendicular to a laying-up direction of the lay-up. The resin discharging unit is provided at the film side.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a composite material includes placing a netlike sheet material, through which a resin composition permeates, on reinforcing fiber substrates disposed on a forming die. The method includes covering the reinforcing fiber substrates disposed on the forming die and the bag surface-smoothing sheet with a bag film to form a sealed forming space between the bag film and the forming die. The method includes infusing a resin composition into the forming space to impregnate the reinforcing fiber substrates. The method includes curing the resin composition impregnated in the reinforcing fiber substrates. Warp yarns and weft yarns are disposed in a lattice pattern and, after placing the bag surface-smoothing sheet on the reinforcing fiber substrates so that the warp yarns and the weft yarns form acute angles with respect to corners of the reinforcing fiber substrates, the bag surface-smoothing sheet projecting from the reinforcing fiber substrates is bent.

    摘要: A fiber-reinforced composite material molding apparatus includes a molding die, a bagging film that seals a fiber base material in the molding die to form a hermetically sealed space, an intake line that depressurizes the hermetically sealed space, and a resin injection line that injects a resin material into the fiber base material. The molding die includes a main body portion including a main groove that extends along a longitudinal direction and is connected to the resin injection line, lateral grooves that are formed at a plurality of positions in the longitudinal direction and extend along a width direction, and a step portion that extends along the longitudinal direction and is disposed between the main groove and the lateral grooves, and a lid portion that extends along the longitudinal direction, is disposed being in contact with the step portion to cover the main groove, and forms a part of a molding surface. The main body portion includes a communication groove through which the main groove is communicated with the lateral grooves.

    摘要: A molding jig for molding a laminate, which includes reinforced fiber sheets laminated on each other, extends in the length direction, and has a cross-sectional shape having a curved portion in a cross section obtained by cutting the laminate on a plane orthogonal to the length direction, into a three-dimensional shape having a bent portion in the length direction. The molding jig includes a female die for forming the bent portion, a male die for engaging with the female die with the laminate therebetween for forming the bent portion, and a stretchable supporting member between the female die and the laminate. The laminate comes in contact with the male die on both length-direction sides of the molded bent portion, and the supporting member is over a region including the female-side molding surface.
