Modular mould system for manufacturing a shell part

摘要

A modular mold system for manufacturing a shell part of an oblong composite structure having a longitudinal direction from a fiber reinforced matrix material. The modular mould system includes a number of mold sections, which are adapted to being assembled to an assembled mold part. The number of mold sections includes a first mold section having a first molding surface with a contour that defines a surface of a first longitudinal part of the shell part and a first end section; and a second mold section having a second molding surface with a contour that defines a surface of a second longitudinal part of the shell part and a second end section; which, when the modular mold system is assembled to the assembled mold, the second end section of the second mold section abuts the first end section of the first mold section.

1. A modular mould system for manufacturing a shell part of an oblong composite structure, the structure comprising a fibre reinforced matrix material and having a longitudinal direction, the mould system including a number of mould sections, which are adapted to being connected to an assembled mould part, the number of mould sections comprising at least:
a first mould section for moulding a first longitudinal part of the shell part and having a first moulding surface with a contour that defines a surface of the first longitudinal part of the shell part, the first mould section comprising a first mould end section and a second mould section for moulding a second longitudinal part of the shell part and having a second moulding surface with a contour that defines a surface of the second longitudinal part of the shell part, the second mould section comprising a second mould end section, which when the modular mould system is connected to the assembled mould, abuts the first mould end section, characterised in that the first moulding surface comprises a first moulding surface end segment protruding outwards at the first mould end section, the first moulding surface end segment being flexible to substantially match the contour of the second moulding end section when the second moulding end section abuts the first moulding end section such that the first and second moulding surfaces form a single continuous moulding surface.
