Background technique [0002] Composite materials have been widely used in high-tech fields such as aerospace due to their excellent characteristics such as high specific strength and specific stiffness, strong designability, and ease of overall molding of large-area complex parts. Due to the relatively uniform temperature field and pressure field in the tank, the low porosity of the molded parts, and the stable mechanical properties of the autoclave forming process, it has become the main forming process for composite load-bearing components used in aerospace fields such as large aircraft.

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the prior art, there are already many numerical modeling methods for the temperature field of the autoclave forming process of composite material components, but most of the existing numerical simulation analyzes analyze the temperature field of the composite material component and the fluid temperature field separately, namely The influence between the fluid temperature field and the component temperature field is unidirectional. Only the influence of the fluid temperature field on the component temperature field is considered. When analyzing the fluid temperature field, the influence of the heat released by the curing reaction of the composite material on the fluid temperature field is not considered. Therefore, the deviation between the temperature field obtained by the existing numerical simulation method and the actual temperature field of the component is relatively large, and the reliability of the result is not high, especially for large-scale load-bearing components, this deviation will further increase

[0005] Chinese patent 201110451986.0 discloses a design method for autoclave forming tooling of composite components based on finite element analysis. Although this solution proposes to establish the airflow field-temperature field coupling relationship during the solidification deformation analysis of components, the airflow The field-temperature field coupling relationship is only one-way, which only considers the influence of the airflow field on the temperature field of the mold and the component temperature field, but does not consider the influence of the temperature field of the mold and the component temperature field on the airflow field
