YU Fei, DONG Jiuzhi, CHEN Yunjun, et al. Equipment Motion Planning and Experimental Verification of One-Sided Stitching Device for Composite Preform Based on Improved Process[J]. Aeronautical Manufacturing Technology, 2026, 69(6).
To realize stable forming of the one-sided stitching (OSS) of the composite preform and avoid missing loop
wrong hooking and unstable stitch forming during the process of stitching the preform
the original OSS process is improved
and a wire-pulling mechanism which can realize the stable forming of the trajectory is added. The mathematical model of the wire-pulling mechanism is established
and the trajectory of the end actuator of the wire-pulling mechanism is simulated and analyzed
which proves the rationality of its design. The working principle of each mechanism of the OSS device is analyzed. By determining the phase differences among the crank angles of the yarn-lifting
yarn-leading
yarn-hooking and wire-pulling mechanisms
the coordination relationship of the four mechanisms of the OSS device is analyzed and planned
and the motion cycle diagram of each mechanism is established
which lays a theoretical foundation for debugging of the OSS device. Finally
multiple controlled OSS experiments were conducted at varying parameters
including preform thickness
stitch pitch
and stitching speed. The result of loop formation rate of 100% proves the rationality and effectiveness of the motion planning
enhances the stability of the OSS trajectory
and thereby ensuring consistent stitching quality of the composite preforms.
