Abstract

A fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) molding system in which FRP material, having stacked prepregs, is molded to manufacture an arc-shaped FRP component. The FRP molding system comprises inner and outer jig plates, a partial pressing device, and transfer devices. The jig plates are arc-shaped members having outer and inner surfaces that respectively fit with inner and outer surface shapes of the FRP component. The FRP material is sandwiched between the jig plates to form an integrated jig plate. The partial pressing device intermittently compresses a portion of the integrated jig plate in a radial direction orthogonal to an arc of the FRP component so that the FRP component is partially molded. The transfer devices intermittently move the compressed portion of the integrated jig plate by the partial pressing device. By repeating the partial pressing and the transport, the entire integrated jig plate is compressed to form the FRP component.

Abstract

According to the present invention, a heat transfer body 3 having an inner space 7 in which a high temperature-side fluid is generated or flows is prepared. The heat transfer body 3 is a component of a heat exchanger, and is a wall formed of a copper material and surrounding an inner space 7 in which one among a high-temperature side fluid and a low-temperature side fluid is present. Inside the wall, a flow passage 9 is formed in which the other one among the high-temperature side fluid and the low-temperature side fluid flows. An LMD layer is directly formed, through an LMD process, on the outer peripheral surface 3a of the heat transfer body 3. In the LMD process, a metal material is supplied to a supply position on the peripheral surface 3a of the heat transfer body 3, the supply position is irradiated with a laser beam to melt both the outer peripheral surface 3a and the metal material, whereby an LMD layer 5 composed of a metal material and bonded to the peripheral surface 3a is formed. The energy density of the laser beam is set to a level high enough to melt both the metal material and the outer peripheral surface 3a.

Abstract

A blank sheet including a plurality of main fibers arranged in parallel with each other, auxiliary fibers and a resin that consolidates the fibers is heated to a temperature at which the resin softens, and then pressed against a fan blade mold with the direction of the main fibers aligned with the longitudinal direction of the fan blade mold. The fan blade mold is shaped so that the length thereof in the longitudinal direction along the surface of a center part thereof in the width direction is shorter than the length thereof in the longitudinal direction along the surface of end parts thereof in the width direction. When the blank sheet is pressed against the fan blade mold, a center part in the width direction of the blank sheet at an end part in the longitudinal direction is pulled with a greater force than end parts in the width direction of the blank sheet at the end part in the longitudinal direction, thereby preventing occurrence of wrinkling.

Abstract

This corner reflector is provided with: flexible and airtight hollow annular balloons (3a, 3b, 3c) which, when a gas is supplied internally, expand due to the gas pressure and become ring-shaped; and a radio wave reflecting film (5), the outer peripheral edge of which is attached to the annular hollow balloons (3a, 3b, 3c) in such a manner as to deploy along an annular flat plane due to the expansion of the annular hollow balloons. The three annular hollow balloons (3a, 3b, 3c) are disposed in such a manner as to be orthogonal to each other when expanded. A restraint member (7), which prevents the annular hollow balloons (3a, 3b, 3c) from expanding beyond a limited volume, is attached to the outer surface of the annular hollow balloons (3a, 3b, 3c).
