Abstract

A composite material laying structure, a composite material vehicle body, and a composite material laying method, the composite material laying structure comprising a profile provided with multiple quadrilateral cavities reinforced by lap joints after butt joint connection, the quadrilateral cavities comprising square cavities and profile cavities, and the square shape of the square cavities transitioning along the profile into the trapezoidal shape of the profile cavities. The present composite material laying structure employs the laying structure of the composite material profile and a butt joint lap-joint form.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1 . A composite material laying structure, comprising a profile, wherein the profile is provided with a plurality of quadrilateral chambers which are butt connected and then reinforced by lapping joint, wherein the quadrilateral chambers comprise square chambers and profile chambers, and the square chambers in a square shape are transitioned into the profile chambers in a trapezoidal shape along the profile,
wherein an outer surface of the profile is laid with multi-axial carbon fiber cloth, wherein inner surfaces of the quadrilateral chambers are laid with multi-axial carbon fiber cloth, wherein a seam for butt connection of the quadrilateral chambers and a reinforcing sheet for lapping joint of the quadrilateral chambers are located on lower surfaces of the quadrilateral chambers, wherein the quadrilateral chambers are in a laying form with butt connection and lapping-joint reinforcement around inner chambers, during the transition from the square chambers to the profile chambers, firstly, a plurality of square shapes at a first section are butted at right angle edges sequentially, and then the right angle edges of the square chambers at an end of the first section are butted with right angle edges of the profile chambers while the trapezoidal inclined edges of a plurality of profile chambers are butted with each other, the right angle edges of the profile chambers at the end of the first section are continuously butted with right angle edges of the profile chambers at a head of a second section, and the plurality of square chambers at the second section continue to be connected sequentially so that a connection form of the first section and the second section is able to repeatedly form the profile with more sections.

2 . The composite material laying structure according to claim 1 , wherein the multi-axial carbon fiber cloth is a bidirectional plain carbon fiber fabric or a bidirectional twill carbon fiber fabric or a patterned carbon fiber fabric or a fine woven fabric with an angle of ±45°.

3 . The composite material laying structure according to claim 2 , wherein the multi-axial fiber cloth is the bidirectional plain carbon fiber fabric which has been treated with a thickening process.

4 . The composite material laying structure according to claim 1 , wherein an interior of the profile is unidirectional carbon fiber wire.

5 . A composite material vehicle body, having the composite material laying structure according to claim 1 .

6 . A composite material laying method, for manufacturing the composite material laying structure according to claim 1 , wherein the method comprises:
using a form of inner layers of the quadrilateral chambers with butt connection and lapping-joint reinforcement around inner chambers; introducing a lapping-joint reinforcement layer before entering a forming mold; and transitioning the shape of the inner layers of the quadrilateral chambers from square into trapezoidal by using a multi-section transition mold.

7 . The composite material laying method according to claim 6 , wherein after the step of transitioning the shape of the inner layers of the quadrilateral chambers from square into trapezoidal by using a multi-section transition mold, the method further comprises:
treating the plain carbon fiber fabric with a thickening process and laying the plain carbon fiber fabric on the outer surface of the profile.
