Abstract

A composite part production system is disclosed which includes a body. A first mold is located on the body. A second mold is located on the body in a form-fitting manner with the first mold and allows a composite plate to be formed by overlapping on the first mold under temperature and pressure. A frame is located on the body and allows the composite plate to be transported to the first mold and/or the second mold by holding the composite plate.

Claims (17)

1 . A composite part production system ( 1 ) comprising:

a body ( 2 );

a first mold ( 3 ) which is located on the body ( 2 );

a second mold ( 4 ) which is located on the body ( 2 ) in a form-fitting manner with the first mold ( 3 ), and allows a plate (P) to be formed by overlapping on the first mold ( 3 ) under temperature and pressure;

a frame ( 5 ) which is located on the body ( 2 ) and allows the plate (P) to be transported to the first mold ( 3 ) and/or the second mold ( 4 ), wherein the frame ( 5 ) is folded when the plate (P) is moved onto the first mold ( 3 ) and/or the second mold ( 4 ) and allows the plate (P) to be placed on the first mold ( 3 ) and/or the second mold ( 4 ) such that the plate (P) takes a pre-determined final form;

an arm ( 6 ) located on the body ( 2 ) and which allows the frame ( 5 ) to be transported to the first mold ( 3 ) and/or the second mold ( 4 ) by gripping the frame ( 5 );

a pin ( 8 ) located on the frame ( 5 );

a first element ( 901 ) located on the frame ( 5 );

a second element ( 902 ) connected to the first element via the pin ( 8 ) and configured to rotate relative to the first element ( 901 ) around an axis on which the pin ( 8 ) extends;

a first electromagnet ( 701 ) located on the arm ( 6 ) opposite to the first element ( 901 ) so that the first electromagnet ( 701 ) grips the first element ( 901 ) when the first electromagnet ( 701 ) is activated when a predetermined electrical current is applied thereto;

a second electromagnet ( 702 ) located on the arm ( 6 ) opposite to the second element ( 902 ) so that the second electromagnet ( 702 ) grips the second element ( 902 ) when the second electromagnet ( 702 ) is activated when the predetermined electrical current is applied thereto;

wherein the frame ( 5 ) has a first position in which the arm ( 6 ) grips the first element ( 901 ) with the first electromagnet ( 701 ) and the second element ( 902 ) with the second electromagnet ( 702 ) when both the first electromagnet ( 701 ) and the second electromagnet ( 702 ) are activated; and

wherein the frame ( 5 ) has a second position in which the arm ( 6 ) grips the first element ( 901 ) with the first electromagnet ( 701 ) and the electrical current applied to the second electromagnet ( 702 ) is adjusted from the predetermined electrical current so that, as the arm ( 6 ) is moved onto the first mold ( 3 ) and/or the second mold ( 4 ), the second electromagnet ( 702 ) releases the second element ( 902 ) so that the second element ( 902 ) rotates relative to the first element ( 901 ) about the axis on which the pin ( 8 ) extends due to an effect of gravity on the second element ( 902 ).

2 . The composite part production system ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , comprising a transport means ( 10 ) allowing the plate (P), which is removably attached to the frame ( 5 ), to be transported to the arm ( 6 ).

3 . The composite part production system ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , comprising a control unit ( 11 ) which allows the electrical current applied to the first electromagnet ( 701 ) located on the body ( 2 ) and the electrical current applied to the second electromagnet ( 702 ) to be controlled independently of each other.

4 . The composite part production system ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the pin ( 8 ) allows the first element ( 901 ) to be attached to the frame ( 5 ) in a removable manner.

5 . The composite part production system ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , comprising at least one rail line ( 12 ) located on the body ( 2 ), on which the arm ( 6 ) is movably located, and which allows the frame ( 5 ) to move onto the first mold ( 3 ) and/or the second mold ( 4 ).
