Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of laser additive manufacturing equipment, and particularly relates to an optical internal wire feeding device for laser additive manufacturing.
Background
The laser additive manufacturing technology is an advanced manufacturing technology which takes powder or wire materials as raw materials and can directly manufacture metal parts with full compactness and excellent mechanical property by high-power laser melting/rapid solidification layer by layer accumulation, and has wide application prospect in the fields of aerospace, automobiles, ships, weaponry and the like. The synchronous additive manufacturing technology based on wire feeding has the advantages that the metal wire is conveyed in a rigid mode, so that the dispersibility is avoided, the material utilization rate is almost 100%, the energy is saved, the environment is protected, the roughness of the cladding surface is low, and the problem caused by powder feeding can be avoided. In addition, the wire material is relatively low in cost and easy to obtain, and meanwhile, the wire material has the advantages of easiness in realizing accurate control, high feeding speed and the like, and the wire feeding cladding is considered to have a great development space.
At present, the wire feeding mode mostly adopts a lateral 'light outside' wire feeding method, namely, a wire material is fed into a molten pool generated by laser through the outside of a laser beam, the method has the problems of limitation of scanning directionality, incapability of ensuring accurate coupling of light and the wire and the like, and the wide application of the 'light outside' wire feeding cladding technology is limited. In order to solve the problem of 'outside light' wire feeding, the Shishihong and the like propose a novel 'inside light' coaxial wire feeding cladding method. The method utilizes the characteristic of easy change of light beams to change incident solid circular laser beams in a spray head device, so that a hollow conical no-light area is formed inside focused laser beams projected onto a forming surface, and a single wire feeding nozzle can be arranged in the no-light area and is coaxial with the focused laser beams. The influence of scanning directivity of an 'optical outside' wire feeding method can be eliminated, and meanwhile, accurate coupling of light and wires can be realized.
However, there are some problems in the existing in-light wire feed additive manufacturing process, first: because the wire material is bent to transition and vertically enters the molten pool, the wire feeding angle is gradually changed in the wire material conveying process, certain deflection of the wire material is caused due to stress release after the wire material is separated from the wire feeding pipe, the molten pool is unstable, and the wire feeding forming quality is poor. Secondly, the method comprises the following steps: because errors exist in the assembling and machining processes, the optical fiber is possibly out of axis, and further the melting of the wire material is caused to be problematic, even the laser is interfered with a wire feeding pipe. Thirdly, the method comprises the following steps: if the optical lens is not cooled effectively, the optical element cannot dissipate heat in time after absorbing the heat of the laser, which may cause deformation of the optical lens and further change the optical path.
