ARRANGEMENT, METHOD AND HOLLOW BODY IN CONNECTION WITH FORMING OF PLASTIC COMPONENTS

摘要

The invention can be implemented in connection with the moulding of plastic components which comprise reinforced plastic. The plastic components in question are hollow or comprise a porous core and are referred to, in accordance with the invention, by the expression hollow bodies. The invention relates to an arrangement for the moulding of hollow bodies which comprise reinforced plastic. The arrangement in this case comprises a flexible pressure membrane and a preformed core which is self-supporting. The invention also relates to a method for the moulding of hollow bodies using an arrangement according to the invention, and to a hollow body which has been moulded according to the method. The invention can be applied within many different areas where there is a need for hollow bodies which comprise reinforced plastic, for example within the area of the manufacture of vehicle components made of reinforced plastic. Among particularly preferred applications, there is the use of hollow bodies according to the invention for load-bearing elements, such as pillars and beams in motor vehicles.
