  • Patent number: 10416004
    Abstract: A resin impregnation detection device configured to detect resin impregnation in a resin impregnation process for a coil insulation layer. The resin impregnation detection device can be inserted in a narrow portion, is capable of detecting impregnation with a liquid resin, and does not leave metal foreign materials other than an optical fiber in a product even after the resin impregnation. The resin impregnation detection device includes an optical fiber including an FBG sensor, and a coating resin, which coats the FBG sensor. The coating resin includes a resin to be softened by contact with a detection target resin. The FBG sensor is applied with a compressive strain caused by cure shrinkage of the coating resin or heat shrinkage thereof from a curing temperature to a normal temperature.

  • Patent number: 10099460
    Abstract: A method for producing a preform for manufacture of a fiber-reinforced plastic molding. The method includes: fixing a resin-equipped film rolled out from a roll state including a release film and a fixing resin and containing a partially-cured thermosetting resin, to a surface of the dry fiber fabric rolled out from a roll with the fixing resin interposed therebetween, thereby obtaining a first dry fiber fabric; separately fixing the resin-equipped film to a surface of the dry fiber fabric rolled out from a roll with the fixing resin interposed therebetween, and detaching the release film, thereby obtaining one or more second dry fiber fabrics; and laminating the second dry fiber fabrics on a surface of the first dry fiber fabric with the fixing resin of the second dry fiber fabrics interposed therebetween.

  • Patent number: 9354421
    Abstract: Provided is an advanced grid structure manufactured by a lamination step of laminating a first tape prepreg group, a second tape prepreg group, and a third tape prepreg group repeatedly in the stated order on a forming die, in which grooves (2, 3, 4) in a lattice shape are formed in three directions, so as to provide crossing regions (7, 8, 9) in which two tape prepreg groups overlap each other, and a heating forming step of forming a laminate by heating under pressure. In the lamination step, the first tape prepreg group, the second tape prepreg group, and the third tape prepreg group are respectively laminated as one layer in crossing regions (7, 8, 9) so that a tape width is maintained, and laminated in non-crossing regions (2a, 3a, 4a) in a state of being folded as two layers in a width direction thereof.

  • Publication number: 20150336335
    Abstract: Provided is a method of producing a fiber-reinforced composite material, involving impregnating a fiber structure with a resin by using the pressure difference between a vacuum pressure and an atmospheric pressure and thereafter curing the resin, the method comprising: impregnating a mixture of a bromine-containing resin 22 and a powdered flame retardant 21 that contains at least one component selected from aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide and has an average particle size in the range of 0.1 to 20 ?m into a fiber structure 10 that has a mode value for the size of fiber surrounded individual openings in the range of 0.03 to 3 mm2 and an opening area percentage in the range of 0.1 to 10%, from a surface direction of the fiber structure 10, to unevenly distribute the powdered flame retardant 21 in a surface layer of the fiber structure 10. The present invention can simply and conveniently produce a highly flame-retardant and lightweight fiber-reinforced composite material that exhibits a high strength.
