Application: Method and device for manufacturing a structural element in composite material with a z-shaped profile (Patent ID: US20240076060A1)
The patent filed by Leonardo SpA describes a method for manufacturing a structural element in composite material with a Z-shaped cross-section. The method involves arranging layers of composite material on a forming mold, laminating the layers to achieve the final configuration, and moving a portion of the mold to bend one of the flanges into its final angle. The process includes specific steps for arranging, laminating, and displacing the flanges to achieve the desired Z-shaped cross-section.
Additionally, the patent includes claims related to the method, such as using fluid-dynamic or electrodynamic actuators for moving the mold, folding the flanges into their final configuration, and utilizing elastic return means for driving the movement of the mold. The patent also covers a device for manufacturing the structural element, which includes a forming mold with fixed and movable portions, allowing for the arrangement and lamination of the composite material layers to achieve the Z-shaped cross-section. The device may include actuators and elastic return means to facilitate the movement of the mold for bending the flanges into their final configuration.
