Application: Roller unit for feeding tapes, fiber placement apparatus and method of molding composite material (Patent ID: US20240100785A1)
The patent filed by Subaru Corp describes a roller unit designed to align and feed tapes made of fibers, whether impregnated with resin or not. The roller unit consists of rollers with aligned rotation axes on a straight line, all having the same diameter, and supported by a shaft allowing independent rotational speeds. The rollers rotate due to friction with the tapes, ensuring proper alignment and feeding.
Additionally, the roller unit includes bearings supporting the rollers, with outer rings fixed to the inner surfaces of the rollers and inner rings fixed to the support shaft. The rollers have steps in radial directions, decreasing thickness towards the bearings to reduce contact area between adjacent rollers. The invention is intended for use in a fiber placement apparatus for laminating tapes and molding composite materials. The method involves feeding the tapes using the roller unit and curing any impregnated resin, showcasing the unit's application in composite material manufacturing.
