The application relates to the field of honeycomb core manufacturing, and in particular to an aluminum honeycomb core, production method and device.
At present, in the fields of building materials, movable board houses, decorative materials, automotive materials, air purification, etc., the structural requirements for the boards are getting higher and higher, and it is necessary to reduce the weight and the production cost while maintaining the structural strength, and the honeycomb structural board meets the requirement, the honeycomb board is generally made of a honeycomb-shaped paper core layer (hereinafter referred to as a paper honeycomb core) and two pressure plates bonded to the upper and lower surfaces of the paper honeycomb core. The paper honeycomb core is a kind of biomimetic structure product, which is made according to the structural characteristics of the honeycomb nest, each honeycomb cell inside is tightly connected, and each honeycomb cell is an equilateral hexagonal structure, the honeycomb board has excellent performances such as wind pressure resistance, shock absorption, sound insulation, heat preservation, flame retardancy and high specific strength, the performance is more superior than polygonal structures such as trilateral and quadrilateral. At present, the producing method of the paper honeycomb core is generally applied with glue (such as paste) on one side of each of the liner papers, and then stack and bond each of the liner papers, and the bonding method is to stagger the glue positions of adjacent liner papers from each other, and then bond the adjacent liner papers together. The glued positions are offset from each other for bonding.
However, regarding the existing paper honeycomb core, the applicant realized that:
(1) The paper honeycomb core adopts the liner paper as the production material, and the flame retardancy of the paper honeycomb board completely depends on the pressure plate which is on the surface of the paper honeycomb core, if the paper honeycomb core in the paper honeycomb board is fired, the fire will burn along the paper honeycomb core until the paper honeycomb core is completely burned, which has serious fire safety hazards.
(2) The traditional method for producing paper honeycomb core is applying ordinary glue to the liner paper by hand or equipment, and bonding the paper in sequence, and then cutting the paper honeycomb core according to the thickness requirement of the paper honeycomb core, and the thickness thereof is difficult to be unified, the cumbersome process also reduces the production efficiency of the paper honeycomb core.
(3) Since the paper honeycomb core is made of liner papers which has strong elastic strength, even if the paper honeycomb core is stretched and shaped, the paper honeycomb core will gradually shrink between the two pressure plate even the paper honeycomb core has been stretched and shaped, as the time goes by, the outer edge of the paper honeycomb board is inlaid with the edge strip of the board, therefore, if the paper honeycomb core shrinks after the paper honeycomb core is bonded in the pressure plates, the inner paper honeycomb core can no longer be stretched for the second time, and the paper honeycomb board, there is no guarantee that the paper honeycomb core will fill the inner space of the paper honeycomb board, resulting in a decrease in the quality and performance of the paper honeycomb core.
(4) The traditional producing method for paper honeycomb core is difficult to ensure the consistency of the offset width between the glue lines of the paper layers, and it is difficult to ensure the positioning accuracy of the bonding between paper layers in the stacking and bonding process, moreover, since a plurality of the paper cores need to be stacked and bonded and then consistently cut during manufacturing, the thickness of the stacked paper layer is easily cause the paper honeycomb core pressed to deformation by the cutting blade during the cutting process, to affect the quality of the paper honeycomb core.

The aluminum foil has higher mechanical strength than the liner paper used in the conventional paper honeycomb core, applying aluminum foil to the field of honeycomb cores that not only makes the honeycomb core has better performance in compression resistance and shock resistance, but also has non-flammable property to make that the aluminum honeycomb core board not ignite the inner honeycomb core layer during a fire, that is, it has better flame retardant performance, and also can solve the problem that the current paper honeycomb core shrinks in the honeycomb paper core board. However, due to the material properties of the aluminum foil, for example, in the producing method of the conventional honeycomb paper core, in the final cuffing step, the aluminum foils will be pressed against each other due to the properties of the metal, which makes the aluminum foil difficult to stretch and expand in the later steps, and the conventional paste is also difficult to ensure the reliability of the bonding between aluminum foils.
