  • Patent number: 11000977
    Abstract: The present invention applies to a molding method for a fiber-reinforced plastic structure having an internal cavity. Firstly, grain groups, which mainly consist of a plurality of high-rigidity grains, are accommodated in bags, and a plurality of cores are formed. A reinforcing fiber substrate, is placed between the plurality of adjacent cores so as to be interposed therebetween. For example, a plurality of molding base materials are prepared by surrounding each core with a prepreg, and the plurality of molding base materials are combined and placed inside a molding die, and the molding base materials are compression molded. When compression molding, a part of the outer surface of the cores is locally pressurized, and the internal pressure of the cores is increased, changing the shape thereof, thus eliminating voids that are present between the cores and the prepreg and/or the prepreg and the molding surface of the die.

  • Patent number: 10434688
    Abstract: A method for molding fiber-reinforced plastic. A core is formed in a desired shape by accommodating, in a flexible bag, a grain group containing plurality of grains. The core is placed inside a prepreg containing resin and fibers, and the prepreg, in which the core is housed is placed in a molding die and compression molded. When doing so, the grain group contains first and second grains (a,b) that satisfy the equation (1). (1) 1.1?(Da/Db)?2.0 In the equation Da is the grain diameter of the grains (a), and Db is the grain diameter of the grain (b). When using a molding die to mold a molded article having a cavity, the above mentioned molding method enables an increase in the internal pressure of the core in order to change the peripheral surface area of the core, without using a pressurized gas and/or pressurized liquid.

  • Patent number: 9925703
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for molding fiber-reinforced plastic that is characterized: in comprising a process (1) for accommodating flowable grains comprising multiple particles in a flexible bag to form a core, a process (2) for interposing the core between fabric configured from fibers and placing the fabric and core inside a molding die, and a process (3) for injecting a resin into the molding die into which the fabric and core have been placed and curing; and in that, when performing the curing in process (3), a portion of one of the outer surfaces of the core is pressed and deformed by a pressing means to increase the internal pressure inside the core. The present invention provides a method for manufacturing fiber-reinforced plastics of excellent external appearance in which there are no defects such as wrinkles in the outer surface during forming using a core.
