Method and apparatus for the production of loops in a cup-shaped load introduction zones textile-reinforced thermoplastic structures with molded functional elements

摘要

A process for the preparation of loops gaseous load introducing elements (20) into a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic structures having the following method steps:a) insertion of a structural component composed of a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic structure, comprising at least one loops tongue (1), in a transfer tool, comprising a flap (2) and a clamping frame (3), wherein the flap (2) in an articulated manner to the clamping frame (3) is connected,b) inserting of the component in the transfer tool in such a way that the loops tongue (1) of the flap (2) is received,c) heating of the component with the loops tongue (1) or only in the area of the loops tongue (1) to the softening of the thermoplastic,d) folding over of the flap (2) with loops around a tongue (1) in the axis of the flapping movement located in the molding member (15) so that a loop around the shaping member is formed and the end of the loops tongue (1) on a support surface formed by the loops tongue (1) itself or the component, is deposited,e) pressing the end of the loops tongue (1) on the support surface in such a way that a material-to-material connection is produced,f) cooling of the formed looping load introduction member (20) and / or the entire component.
