Abstract

Provided is a method for manufacturing a panel including a core having a truss structure between upper and lower face sheets. The manufacturing method includes disposing the upper and lower face sheets in parallel to each other at a predetermined distance, repeatedly performing, several times, a process in which a plurality of flexible wires vertically pass through the upper and lower face sheets to reciprocation-connect the upper and lower face sheets to each other, thereby sewing the upper and lower face sheets after the upper and lower face sheets horizontally move in parallel to each other, and maximally spacing both face sheets in a vertical direction while being maintained in a parallel to each other after a relative displacement of the upper and lower face sheets is solved, and fixing the face sheets and the wires to each other.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for manufacturing a sandwich panel comprising a core having a truss structure between upper and lower face sheets, the method comprising:
disposing the upper and lower face sheets in parallel to each other at a predetermined distance in a vertical direction;
sewing the upper and lower face sheets by repeatedly performing, several times, a process in which a plurality of flexible wires vertically pass through the upper and lower face sheets to reciprocation-connect the upper and lower face sheets to each other;
inclining the vertically sewed flexible wires in one direction by relatively moving in the horizontal direction the upper and lower face sheets in parallel to each other;
increasing a distance in the vertical direction between the upper and lower face sheets sewed by the flexible wires while the upper and lower face sheets are maintained in a parallel to each other; and
fixing the upper and lower face sheets and the wires to each other.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one panel is added between the upper and lower sheets.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wire through-positions on the upper and lower sheets are different from each other in the sewing processes.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising coupling a reinforcing plate to at least one of the upper and lower sheets after the face sheets and the wires are fixed.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of wires comprise one continuous wire.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the wires is formed of a metal or fiber material.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the wires is formed of fiber material, wherein face sheet contact parts, the wires, and wire crossing parts are cured and fixed at the same time by using an adhesive.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the disposing the upper and lower face sheets includes making a relative displacement in the horizontal direction between the upper and lower face sheets,
wherein the inclining the vertically sewed wires includes removing the relative displacement in the horizontal direction between the upper and lower face sheets by the relative moving in the horizontal direction the upper and lower face sheets.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the upper and lower face sheets includes a plurality of sewing holes through which the wires pass.

10. A method for manufacturing a panel comprising a core having a truss structure between upper and lower face sheets, the method comprising:
disposing the upper and lower face sheets in parallel to each other at a predetermined distance;
repeatedly performing, several times, a process in which a plurality of flexible wires vertically pass through the upper and lower face sheets to reciprocation-connect the upper and lower face sheets to each other, thereby sewing the upper and lower face sheets after the upper and lower face sheets horizontally move in parallel to each other; and
maximally spacing both face sheets in a vertical direction while being maintained in a parallel to each other after a relative displacement of the upper and lower face sheets is solved, and
fixing the face sheets and the wires to each other,
wherein the sewing of the upper and lower face sheets comprises:
(a) relatively moving the upper and lower face sheets in parallel to each other so that a virtual z-directional vertical axis passing through the upper and lower face sheets is inclined on an x-z plane at a first angle in a positive direction of an x-axis and on a y-z plane at a second angle in a negative direction of a y-axis;
(b) performing a first sewing process in which the upper and lower face sheets are reciprocation-sewed in a y-axis direction by using a first wire, wherein a sewing distance in the y-axis direction corresponds to a second displacement distance of the face sheets according to the second angle, continuous wire sewing rows are spaced apart from each other by a first displacement distance of the face sheets according to the first angle, and ends of the sewing rows adjacent to each other are displaced by about ½ of the second displacement distance in the y-axis direction;
(c) relatively moving the upper and lower face sheets in parallel to each other so that a support shaft is inclined on the y-z plane at an angle corresponding to about two times of the second angle in the positive direction of the y-axis;
(d) performing a second sewing process in which the upper and lower face sheets are reciprocation-sewed in the y-axis direction by using a second wire, wherein, since through-positions of the wires with respect to the face sheets are the same as those of the wires in the first sewing process, the second sewing process is performed through the same method as the first sewing process;
(e) relatively moving the upper and lower face sheets in parallel to each other so that the support shaft is inclined on the y-z plane at the second angle in the negative direction of the y-axis, and the support shaft is inclined on the x-z plane at an angle corresponding to about two times of the first angle in a negative direction of the x-axis; and
(f) reciprocation-sewing the upper and lower face sheets in an x-axis direction by using a third wire, wherein a sewing distance in the x-axis direction is double first displacement distance, continuous wire sewing rows are spaced about ½ of the second displacement distance from each other, and ends of the sewing row adjacent to each other are displaced by the first displacement distance in the x-axis direction.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the sewing distances and the distance between the sew rows in the sewing processes are different by two times.

12. A method for manufacturing a panel comprising a core having a truss structure between upper and lower face sheets, the method comprising:
disposing the upper and lower face sheets in parallel to each other at a predetermined distance;
repeatedly performing, several times, a process in which a plurality of flexible wires vertically pass through the upper and lower face sheets to reciprocation-connect the upper and lower face sheets to each other, thereby sewing the upper and lower face sheets after the upper and lower face sheets horizontally move in parallel to each other; and
maximally spacing both face sheets in a vertical direction while being maintained in a parallel to each other after a relative displacement of the upper and lower face sheets is solved, and
fixing the face sheets and the wires to each other,
wherein the sewing of the upper and lower face sheets comprises:
(a) relatively moving the upper and lower face sheets in parallel to each other so that a virtual z-directional vertical axis passing through the upper and lower face sheets is inclined on an x-z plane at a first angle in a positive direction of an x-axis and on a y-z plane at a second angle in a negative direction of a y-axis;
(b) performing a first sewing process in which the upper and lower face sheets are reciprocation-sewed in a y-axis direction by using a first wire, wherein a sewing distance in the y-axis direction corresponds to a second displacement distance of the face sheets according to the second angle, and continuous wire sewing rows are spaced apart from each other by a first displacement distance of the face sheets according to the first angle;
(c) relatively moving the upper and lower face sheets in parallel to each other so that a support shaft is inclined on the x-z plane at an angle corresponding to about two times of the first angle in a negative direction of the x-axis;
(d) performing a second sewing process in which the upper and lower face sheets ar
