MOLDING TOOL, CONTROL MEANS, METHOD, AND FACILITY FOR PRODUCING A PREFERABLY FIBER-REINFORCED PLASTIC COMPONENT

摘要

The present invention relates to a mold (20), a control means and a method for producing a preferably fiber-reinforced plastic component (1). The invention also relates to an installation (10) for carrying out said method. A mold (20) according to the invention is characterized in that at least one first seal (23a) is specifically arranged between the first (21) and the second (22) mold half such relative to the opening (25) towards the vacuum connection that the cavity can be evacuated via the opening (25) towards the vacuum connection in a first closing position of the mold halves (21, 22) and the evacuated cavity is sealed off also relative to the opening (25) towards the vacuum connection in a second closing position of the mold halves (21, 22). The present invention is advantageous in that one and the same seal (23) sealing the mold halves (21, 22) from the air pressure surrounding them can be used to evacuate the cavity via the opening (25) towards the vacuum connection and to seal the evacuated cavity from the opening (25) towards the vacuum connection as required.
