Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a control system of EBSM equipment, in particular to a control system of multi-electron gun EBSM equipment.
Background
Electron Beam Selective Melting (EBSM) metal additive manufacturing techniques use an electron beam as an energy source to manufacture solid parts by melting metal powder layer by layer in a high vacuum environment. Because the power of the electron beam is high, the material has high energy absorption rate to the electron beam, the finished piece has the characteristics of high density, low oxygen content, low thermal stress, difficult deformation and cracking, high printing efficiency, material utilization rate and the like, and is widely applied in the fields of medical treatment, aerospace and the like. The process comprises the following steps: firstly, spreading a layer of powder on a powder spreading plane; then, the electron beam is selectively melted under the control of a computer according to the information of the cross section profile, the metal powder is melted together under the bombardment of the electron beam and is bonded with the formed part below, and the metal powder is stacked layer by layer until the whole part is completely melted; finally, the excess powder is removed to obtain the desired three-dimensional product.
As shown in fig. 1, the EBSM apparatus generally comprises an electron gun 01, a work table 06, a molding chamber 02, a powder feeding system, a powder spreading system 07, a vacuum system, a cooling system, a control system, and the like. The powder feeding system (some devices do not use the system, and only have a powder storage bin) is responsible for feeding the metal powder to the powder spreading system. The powder spreading system spreads the powder on the forming surface 03 on the moving platform, and the powder is uniformly spread and scraped. The electron gun generates high energy to locally melt the metal powder on command to form a cross section of the workpiece 04. The vacuum system is responsible for evacuating the forming chamber 02 so that the electron beam can work normally (the electron energy is not attenuated in vacuum). The cooling system protects the transmission components and the like from exceeding normal use temperature. The control system needs to coordinate the motion time sequence between the electron gun and the motion platform and schedule the control time sequences of the forming chamber, the powder feeding system, the powder spreading system, the vacuum system and the cooling system, so that all the processes can be performed reliably and orderly.
The control system commonly used at present adopts the control system of the industrial internet matched with the OPC protocol as shown in fig. 2. The lower computer PLC is programmed and applies industrial Ethernet and OPC technology to establish software and hardware foundation for the process monitoring layer and the management layer. And finally, designing a complete set of central control system software of the arc additive manufacturing equipment on a computer by using a graphical programming language LabVIEW. The control system software comprises four operation interfaces with different authorities, namely a manager, an engineer, a data recorder and an operator, and has the functions of user management, database interaction, monitoring and control of the electric arc additive manufacturing process and the like, so that the whole electric arc additive manufacturing process is ensured to be smoothly carried out, and the automation of the one-time rapid electric arc additive manufacturing process of large-size metal pipe fittings (house ringing, development of an electric arc additive manufacturing technology control system, Harbin university) is realized. The core idea of the control system is to establish the relationship between an industrial personal computer and a master station and a slave station of a PLC (programmable logic controller), match the systems by taking an OPC (optical proximity correction) protocol as a communication mode through an industrial Ethernet way, solve the problem of non-uniformity of programming languages of an upper computer and a lower computer and further complete the organic combination of different control platforms. However, the system does not consider the cooperative control of multiple electron guns, and cannot be applied to multiple electron gun additive manufacturing equipment at present.
The distributed control system DCS shown in fig. 3 can realize cooperative control of multiple electron guns (lubin, study of modeling and control algorithm of a high-current electron gun based on a T-S fuzzy model 2015, institute of graduates of chinese academy of sciences (shanghai institute of applied physics)), the control idea is to divide the whole accelerator control system into a plurality of relatively independent subsystems, perform hardware selection and program design according to the control requirements of each subsystem, and finally connect the subsystems together through a network protocol. At present, network protocols are various, so the selection of the network protocol is also an important content of distributed control. The control mode enables each subsystem to share the functions of the control system and realize the global management of the control system on the basis of the communication protocol. FIG. 4 shows an electronic accelerator distributed control system based on an industrial personal computer and a programmable logic controller PLC. The upper computer (industrial personal computer) is used for setting operation parameters, modifying parameters on line, monitoring the operation of the accelerator, alarming and displaying a fault lamp; the lower computer (PLC) is mainly used for completing data acquisition and operation, executing a user program, detecting an operation state and realizing final control; and a local area network connection mode is selected, and access is performed by a client/server (C/S) mode through a TCP/IP protocol. Compared with a centralized control system, the distributed control system has high reliability. However, the DCS control system adopts the upper computer to plan the printing path of the formed workpiece, and occupies computer resources in the whole equipment processing time, so that the system cost is high, and the processing efficiency is low.

step 6, when the CNC system control workbench is rotated to a printing and scanning area, the industrial personal computer monitors that the rotation angle of the C axis is in place, then the corresponding electron gun signal generation control program section and the printing characteristic attribute recognition program section are called, the corresponding electron gun is controlled to be opened through the electron gun control cabinet, scanning is carried out according to a scanning path, powder in the section of the model is melted, and the powder is solidified and deposited to form the section of the workpiece;
in the scanning process, an industrial personal computer monitors the rotation angle of the C axis of the workbench, and samples and analyzes the rotation angle to obtain the exact position of the C axis; comparing the exact position of the C axis with the theoretical position of the C axis corresponding to the current electron gun signal generation control program segment, calculating the error between the exact position of the C axis and the theoretical position of the C axis, and calling a calibration parameter table to correct the current electron gun signal generation control program segment;
step 7, in the process that the workbench rotates for one circle from 0 bit, the workbench gradually reduces the height under the action of the electric lifting mechanism according to an instruction sent by the CNC system, and meanwhile powder paving and printing are completed;
step 8, the PLC controls the electric furnace in the workbench to be closed, the powder feeding system is closed, the CNC system closes the rotating and lifting motor of the rotating workbench, and the industrial control machine controls the electronic gun to be closed;
step 9, when the temperature of the chamber to be formed is reduced to room temperature, the PLC controls to open a deflation valve of the vacuum chamber so as to restore the environment of the vacuum chamber to atmospheric pressure;
step 10, the PLC controls the door of the forming chamber to be opened;
and 11, controlling the workbench and horizontally moving the workbench out of the working room by the CNC system.
