Abstract

Provided are a method for producing an FRP precursor and a device for producing an FRP precursor, wherein the method and the device have a good productivity, and under a normal pressure, enable filling of a resin into a bulk gap of an aggregate as well as prevent the resin from spouting out from an edge portion thereof. The method for producing the FRP precursor is to produce the FRP precursor by melt-adhering each of a pair of thermosetting resin films 54 to each of both surfaces 40 a and 40 b of an aggregate 40 that is in a form of a sheet, the method comprising: an aggregate's surface heating process to heat aggregate's both surfaces, i.e., the both aggregate's surfaces 40 a and 40 b of the aggregate 40 , and a film press-adhering process to obtain the FRP precursor wherein under a normal pressure, one aggregate-side film surface 54 a of the pair of the films 54 is press-adhered to one surface of the heated both aggregate's surfaces, and another aggregate-side film surface 54 a of the pair of the films 54 is press-adhered to another surface of the heated both aggregate's surfaces.

Claims (14)

1. A method for producing an FRP precursor, wherein the method is to produce the FRP precursor by melt-adhering a thermosetting resin film to one surface of an aggregate that is in a form of sheet, the method comprising:

an aggregate's surface heating process to heat one surface of the aggregate, and then

a film press-adhering process to obtain the FRP precursor wherein under a normal pressure, of both surfaces of the film, an aggregate-side film surface, which is a surface in an aggregate side thereof, is press-adhered to an aggregate's surface, which is one surface of the heated aggregate.

2. The method for producing the FRP precursor according to claim 1 , wherein the film press-adhering process is a process to press-adhere the film to the aggregate with heating the film and the aggregate, and a heating temperature of one surface of the aggregate in the aggregate's surface heating process is higher than a heating temperature in the film press-adhering process by 5 to 70° C.

3. The method for producing the FRP precursor according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises a preliminary film heating process to heat the aggregate-side film surface by radiation from a side of the aggregate-side film surface.

4. The method for producing the FRP precursor according to claim 3 , wherein the film press-adhering process is a process to press-adhere the film to the aggregate with heating the film and the aggregate, and a heating temperature of the aggregate-side film surface in the preliminary film heating process is higher than a heating temperature in the film press-adhering process by 5 to 70° C.

5. The method for producing the FRP precursor according to claim 1 , wherein the film press-adhering process is conducted in the range of minus 40° C. to plus 20° C. relative to a minimum melt viscosity temperature of the thermosetting resin film.

6. A method for producing an FRP precursor, wherein the method is to produce the FRP precursor by melt-adhering each of a pair of thermosetting resin films to each of both surfaces of an aggregate that is in a form of a sheet, the method comprising:

an aggregate's surface heating process to heat both aggregate's surfaces, which are both surfaces of the aggregate, and then

a film press-adhering process to obtain the FRP precursor wherein under a normal pressure, of both surfaces of one film of the pair of the films, one aggregate-side film surface, which is a surface in an aggregate side thereof, is press-adhered to one surface of the heated both aggregate's surfaces, and of both surfaces of another film of the pair of the films, an another aggregate-side film surface, which is a surface in an aggregate side thereof, is press-adhered to another surface of the heated both aggregate's surfaces.

7. The method for producing the FRP precursor according to claim 6 , wherein the film press-adhering process is a process to press-adhere the pair of the films and the aggregate with heating the pair of the films and the aggregate, and a heating temperature of both surfaces of the aggregate in the aggregate's surface heating process is higher than a heating temperature in the film press-adhering process by 5 to 70° C.

8. The method for producing the FRP precursor according to claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises a preliminary film heating process to heat one aggregate-side film surface by radiation from a side of the one aggregate-side film surface, and to heat another aggregate-side film surface by radiation from a side of the another aggregate-side film surface.

9. The method for producing the FRP precursor according to claim 8 , wherein the film press-adhering process is a process to press-adhere the pair of the films to the aggregate with heating the films and the aggregate, and each of heating temperatures of the one aggregate-side film surface and the another aggregate-side film surface in the preliminary film heating process is higher than a heating temperature in the film press-adhering process by 5 to 70° C.

10. The method for producing the FRP precursor according to claim 6 , wherein the film press-adhering process is conducted in the range of minus 40° C. to plus 20° C. relative to a minimum melt viscosity temperature of the thermosetting resin film.
