Abstract
Disclosed are a prepreg manufacturing device and a prepreg manufacturing method using the same. A prepreg manufacturing device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a first resin inflow part which is formed inside an upper mold, receives a resin supplied from an extruder, and discharges the resin to a reinforced fiber flowing to a lower part in the upper mold; and a second resin inflow part which is formed inside a lower mold, receives the resin supplied from the extruder, and discharges the resin to the reinforced fiber flowing to an upper part of the lower mold.
Claims4
A prepreg manufacturing device comprising:
- an impregnation mold having an upper mold a lower mold;
- and
- a temperature control part,
- wherein
- a first resin inflow part which is formed inside the upper mold, receives a resin supplied from an extruder, and discharges the resin to a reinforced fiber flowing to a lower part in the upper mold;
- a second resin inflow part which is formed inside the lower mold, receives the resin supplied from the extruder, and discharges the resin to the reinforced fiber flowing to an upper part of the lower mold,
- the first resin inflow part and the second resin inflow part have symmetrical shapes which face each other,
- each of the first resin inflow part and the second resin inflow part has a shape whose cross-section size at an outlet side where the resin is discharged is expanded compared to the cross-section size at an inlet side to which the resin is supplied from the extruder, and
- the temperature control part independently controls temperatures at a plurality of divided sections defined in a length direction for each of the first resin inflow part and the second resin inflow part.
A prepreg manufacturing method using the prepreg manufacturing device of 1, comprising:
- a step (a) in which a resin is supplied from the extruder to each of the first resin inflow part and the second resin inflow part;
- a step (b) in which the resin is discharged uniformly from each of the first resin inflow part and the second resin inflow part toward a reinforced fiber which flows between the upper mold and the lower mold, and
- a step (c) in which temperatures at a plurality of divided sections defined in a length direction for each of the first resin inflow part and the second resin inflow part are independently controlled.
