Laser precision coated powder coaxial device
Technical field
The invention belongs to field of laser processing, be specifically related to particularly laser accurate cladding light powder coaxial device of laser melting coating.
Background technology
The laser accurate cladding is mainly used in fine coatings cladding, the three-dimensional manufacturing fast of machine parts'precise etc.In cladding process, laser beam irradiation also focuses on the shaping finished surface, and powder feeder is sent into metal dust in the laser focal beam spot on the shaping finished surface.Do the motion that is shaped by the relative drip molding of computer control laser head with powder feeder, the powder smelting that the laser beam that moves is sent into the powder feeder of servo-actuated in differing formed position and constantly form new molten bath, powder is fusing and rapid solidification fast, thereby realizes accurate cladding forming.In this dynamic process, it is a key and a difficult problem that realizes accurate cladding and guarantee Forming Quality that powder is accurately sent in the laser focal beam spot on the shaping machined surface all the time.
Both at home and abroad prior art mainly contains two kinds of biasing powder feeding and coaxial powder-feedings.In the biasing dust feeder in early days, the laser beam vertical incidence also focuses on the finished surface, and the relative light beam of nozzle tilts to install, and powder is sent in the laser facula in inclination impelling mode.This device is generally the single track powder feeding, and structure is simpler, but powder feeding has tangible directionality, causes the light powder to depart from the processing easily.Along with technical development, American and Britain, moral, medium state have all developed coaxial powder-feeding nozzle separately.As United States Patent (USP) (US5418350; US5477026; US5961862), European patent (WO2005028151), Japan Patent (JP2005219060) etc. disclose multiple coaxial powder feeding head, its basic structure all adopts multilayer concentric cone barrel formula, wherein comprises axis light paths, mill diagram passage, waterway channel and gas channels.Its middle flour way passage is the irradiation of avoiding laser beam, the annular powder road or the multiple tracks powder feeding pipe structure that on cylindrical shell, are in tilted layout have been adopted on every side around path channels, and then the powder bundle of output is adjusted on the beam center line and converges to a bit, make this convergent point just in time be in the finished surface of workpiece, the adjustment beam focus overlaps with the convergent point of each powder bundle or is close before processing simultaneously.
China also furthers investigate at the coaxial powder-feeding technical elements, and the coaxial powder-feeding shower nozzle has been done many improvement.Document " Chinese material engineering grand ceremony the 25th volume " (the Wang Zhiyao chief editor. Beijing: Chemical Industry Press, 2006) combine existing coaxial powder-feeding technology both at home and abroad, various coaxial powder feeding heads are all adopting on the automatic powder feeding system on cylindrical shell around evenly the be in tilted layout organization plan of annular or 2~8 tunnel powder feeding passages of center light paths, need divide equally the powder amount during powder feeding and give multichannel, the inclination of multichannel powder is sprayed and is pooled a bit.
Existing coaxial powder feeding apparatus has the following disadvantages owing to adopt many powder channels and the relative beam center inclination of powder channel:
(1) needs the meticulous bundle that tiltedly dusts of regulating the output of multichannel inclination powder channel on the beam center line, to converge and be a bit, because the powder amount of each powder road ejection, injection dynamics are difficult to evenly with the orientation, symmetry and consistent, the end is converged and is regulated difficulty so tiltedly dust in each road, and powder converges precision to be difficult to guarantee.
(2) need adjusting each road powder converges and makes beam focus to overlap with it or close at finished surface.The relative coaxial powder feeding head of surface of the work has the upper-lower position change in process, be that the relative finished surface of beam focus is when being positive out of focus or negative out of focus, powder bundle convergent point also will be higher or lower than finished surface, fall multichannel on the finished surface Shu Shangwei that tiltedly dusts like this and converge or disperse, all cause the powder area to strengthen.
(3) parameter correlations such as pressure and form are carried in the speed of powder bundle impelling, orientation, whereabouts etc. with powder sending quantity, powder size and flowability, gas, when work in-process fluctuates as above-mentioned parameter occurring, will cause powder Shu Huiju instability, its askew partially degree and disperse area and strengthen, powder drop point separate with hot spot or the time from the time close.
(4) because of powder can not accurately fall in the laser focal beam spot, for guaranteeing to fall into the powder amount in the hot spot, need to strengthen powder sending quantity, will cause powder using efficiency to reduce like this, the light powder departs to cause and drops on the outer peripheral powder of hot spot and be subjected to the balling-up of hot spot heat affecting meeting sintering.The problem of above-mentioned existence all will cause adverse effect to cladding precision and cladding quality, and precision process such as meticulous cladding of feasible realization laser and three-dimensional manufacturing fast are difficult.
Summary of the invention
