Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a high-quality fiber reinforced resin member that enables a longitudinal yarn to be laid out, without slipping, around an outer periphery of a mandrel having at least a bent portion, thus allowing both the longitudinal yarn and a diagonal yarn to be evenly laid out, and a method of manufacturing the fiber reinforced resin member, as well as an apparatus manufacturing a fiber fabric for the fiber reinforced resin member. A fiber reinforced resin member 1 includes an elongate fiber fabric formed by braiding a plurality of longitudinal yarns Q, . . . extending in a longitudinal direction of the fiber fabric and a plurality of diagonal yarns P, . . . inclined at a predetermined angle to the longitudinal direction, the fiber fabric being impregnated with resin that is then hardened. The fiber reinforced resin member 1 has at least a bent portion 1″. The longitudinal yarns Q, . . . are spirally wound at the bent portion 1″, in a posture in which the longitudinal yarns are inclined at an angle of, for example, 10 to 15 degrees to the longitudinal direction.

Abstract:
Provided is a method capable of easily and inexpensively molding a flanged fiber-reinforced resin hollow part with a non-uniform cross-section and a bent portion with a sufficiently reduced weight and substantially uniform thickness. To this end, a hollow laminate (20) is formed by laminating reinforced fibers (21) and matrix resin (24) on the circumference of a coupled body of a preformed hollow resin core (10) and a second core (15). The second core (15) is pulled out from the hollow laminate (20) and a region of the hollow laminate (20), from the second core (15) was pulled out, is pressed into a flange-shaped portion (26). A pressurization bag (30) is inserted into the hollow resin core (10) and it is then disposed within a shaping mold (40). Heat is applied while at the same time applying pressure to the inside of the pressurization bag (30) in the hollow laminate (20) disposed within the shaping mold, whereby the resin and the reinforced fibers are combined, inclusive of the flange-shaped portion (26).
Abstract:
There is provided a method of molding a fiber-reinforced plastic hollow part that is capable of molding, with ease and at low costs, a fiber-reinforced plastic hollow part, which has a varying cross-section or a bent portion, in a state in which its weight is sufficiently reduced and in a state where its wall thickness is substantially uniform. A reinforcing fiber (21) and a matrix resin (24) are laminated on the outer circumference of a preformed hollow resin core (10) to obtain a hollow laminate (20). A pressurizing bag (30) is inserted and positioned inside that hollow resin core (10). The hollow laminate (20) is positioned inside a mold (40). Next, heat is applied while pressure is applied to the inside of the pressurizing bag (30) of the hollow laminate (20) positioned inside the mold, thereby integrating the resin and the reinforcing fiber.

Abstract:
A first process in which a fiber reinforced base is placed in a cavity of a molding die and then resin is injected into the cavity of the molding die in a state where the molding die is opened by a sum of a distance X1 and a distance at the time of completion of molding; a second process in which the molding die is closed to a state where the molding die is opened by a sum of a distance X2 and the distance at the time of completion of molding while resin in the cavity is being drained; and a third process in which the drain of the resin from the cavity is stopped and then the molding die is closed to the distance at the time of completion of molding while a die clamping pressure is maintained at a predetermined value to cure the resin, are carried out sequentially.

Abstract:
A pressure container has an inner shell with a pair of fittings and a reinforcement layer formed around the inner shell, and is configured so that a reinforcement member is attachable to the pair of fittings in a process of forming the reinforcement layer and a functional component which performs a predetermined function is also attachable to the fittings. This can allow the reinforcement member to prevent expanding deformation of the pressure container in production of the pressure container, and can ensure effective use of openings after removal of the reinforcement member.
