Meanwhile, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", and the like are used only for distinguishing the description, and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
In a first aspect, please refer to fig. 1 to 5, and fig. 1 to 5 illustrate a continuous gradient material powder laying system for gradient material powder laying in some embodiments of the present application, the system includes a powder feeding assembly 1, a powder storage assembly 2, and a powder laying assembly 3, which are sequentially arranged from top to bottom, where at least two powder feeding assemblies 1 are provided; the system further comprises:
the moving assembly 4 is used for driving the powder feeding assembly 1 to continuously perform horizontal displacement;
the controller 5 is electrically connected with the powder feeding assembly 1, the powder spreading assembly 3 and the moving assembly 4;
the controller 5 is used for controlling the moving assembly 4 to drive the powder feeding assembly 1 to move, and linearly adjusting the powder feeding rate of the corresponding powder feeding assembly 1 according to the position of the powder feeding assembly 1 in the moving process of different powder feeding assemblies 1 so as to feed the powder to the powder storage assembly 2;
the controller 5 is also used for controlling the powder paving component 3 to mix and pave powder after the powder storage component 2 is full of powder.
Specifically, when the continuous gradient material powder paving system of the embodiment of the present application paves powder, the moving assembly 4 drives the powder feeding assembly 1 to continuously move from above one end of the powder storage assembly 2 to above the other end of the powder storage assembly 2, and the powder feeding assembly 1 continuously feeds powder to the powder storage assembly 2 in the moving process, so that the whole powder storage assembly 2 can receive metal powder along the moving direction of the powder feeding assembly 1.
More specifically, in the moving process of the powder feeding assembly 1, the controller 5 acquires the position of the powder feeding assembly 1 in real time, and adjusts the powder feeding rate of the powder feeding assembly 1 according to the position of the powder feeding assembly 1, so that different positions of the powder storage assembly 2 in the moving direction of the powder feeding assembly 1 can receive different amounts of metal powder fed by the corresponding powder feeding assembly 1.
More specifically, the controller 5 controls the powder feeding assembly 1 to linearly adjust the powder feeding rate, so that the powder feeding assembly 1 changes the output amount of the metal powder in a linearly changing manner during the moving process, and the powder storage assembly 2 has the metal powder with the powder amount (mass) in the moving direction of the powder feeding assembly 1 linearly changing for one metal powder fed by the same powder feeding assembly 1.
More specifically, the continuous gradient material powder laying system in the embodiment of the present application is provided with at least two powder feeding assemblies 1, different powder feeding assemblies 1 are provided with different types of metal powder according to the process requirements, and therefore, after the controller 5 controls all the powder feeding assemblies 1 to feed powder, the powder storage assembly 2 should be understood as receiving a plurality of kinds of powder with the powder feeding amount linearly changing.
More specifically, the length direction of the powder storage component 2 is parallel to the moving direction of the powder feeding component 1, so that the powder feeding component 1 can feed the powder along the length direction of the powder storage component 2, and the powder amount of each metal powder received by the powder storage component 2 is linearly changed along the length direction.
More specifically, each powder feeding component 1 moves from the position above one end of the powder storage component 2 to the position above the other end of the powder storage component 2 under the driving action of the moving component 4 to finish one powder feeding operation, and the powder storage component 2 finishes one or more powder feeding operations by utilizing different powder feeding components 1 to receive metal powder; because the powder feeding amount of the same powder feeding component 1 is linearly changed along the length direction of the powder storage component 2, the powder storage component 2 needs to be matched with the powder storage components 2 with different powder feeding rates to store the powder fully, namely, the continuous gradient material powder paving system at least comprises two powder feeding components 1 with different linear adjusting characteristics, so that under the matching powder feeding effect of the powder feeding components 1, the powder storage components 2 can smoothly store the powder fully, and the powder storage components 2 have metal powder with different proportions along different powder storage positions in the length direction.
More specifically, the controller 5 in the system of the embodiment of the present application may determine whether the powder storage assembly 2 is full of powder by using a visual camera or a retransmission sensor, and may also determine whether the powder storage assembly 2 is full of powder by identifying whether all the powder feeding assemblies 1 complete the powder feeding operations for the corresponding number of times; in the embodiment of the present application, the controller 5 preferably determines whether the powder storage assembly 2 is full of powder by recognizing whether all the powder feeding assemblies 1 have completed the corresponding number of powder feeding operations, thereby simplifying the apparatus structure.
More specifically, for one powder feeding assembly 1, the feeding rate is linearly changed along the length direction of the powder storage assembly 2, so that the powder amount of the metal powder of the powder feeding assembly 1 received by the powder storage assembly 2 is linearly changed along the length direction thereof, and after the powder storage assembly 2 is filled with the powder, the proportion of the metal powder in the powder storage assembly is linearly changed along the length direction thereof, that is, gradient combined powder with continuously changed and distributed proportion is obtained.
In some preferred embodiments, the present application is directed to achieve continuously variable powder amount delivery by using the controller 5 to regulate and control the powder delivery relationship between the powder feeding assembly 1 and the powder storage assembly 2, and therefore, in the present application, the moving assembly 4 preferably drives the powder feeding assembly 1 to move at a constant speed, so that the controller 5 can precisely control the powder amounts received at different positions on the powder storage assembly 2 by regulating and controlling the powder feeding rate of the powder feeding assembly 1, so as to simplify the process of linearly regulating the powder feeding rate of the powder feeding assembly 1 by the controller 5.
In some other embodiments, the powder feeding assembly 1 may also be a constant speed powder feeding, and the controller 5 adjusts the moving speed of the moving assembly 4 through variable speed to realize linear adjustment of the powder feeding rate of the powder feeding assembly 1 relative to the length direction of the powder storage assembly 2.
In some preferred embodiments, the powder feeding rates of all the powder feeding assemblies 1 corresponding to different horizontal positions of the powder storage assembly 2 are equal to each other.
Specifically, after all the powder feeding assemblies 1 complete one-time powder feeding operation, it is required to ensure that the total amount of the metal powder received by the powder storage assembly 2 at different positions is the same to avoid the problems of powder overflow or local powder paving loss caused by uneven distribution of the material amount of the gradient combined powder, and the like, in the embodiment of the application, in the same position of the powder storage assembly 2, the powder feeding rate of the powder feeding assembly 1 determines the powder amount of the corresponding metal powder received by the powder storage assembly 2 at the position, the sum of the powder feeding rates of all the powder feeding assemblies 1 corresponding to the powder storage assembly 2 at different horizontal positions along the length direction determines the material amount of the gradient combined powder at the position, and the powder feeding rates at all the positions are ensured to be equal, so that the powder storage assembly 2 can smoothly and uniformly store the full powder for powder paving.
In some preferred embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the discharging end of the powder feeding assembly 1 is provided with a powder dropping roller 11 for adjusting the powder feeding rate thereof, and the controller 5 adjusts the powder feeding rate of the corresponding powder feeding assembly 1 by adjusting the rotating speed of the powder dropping roller 11.
Specifically, the powder feeding assembly 1 comprises a powder hopper and a powder dropping roller 11 arranged in the powder hopper, the powder dropping roller 11 is driven by a powder dropping motor to rotate, and the controller 5 adjusts the powder feeding speed of the powder feeding assembly 1 by adjusting the rotating speed of the powder dropping motor, so that the amount of metal powder received by different positions on the powder storage assembly 2 is in direct proportion to the rotating speed of the powder dropping roller 11 in the corresponding powder storage assembly 2 in the embodiment of the application; the controller 5 can realize the linear change powder feeding function by controlling the rotating speed of the powder dropping roller 11, and has the characteristics of convenient and accurate adjustment.
More specifically, the sum of the rotating speeds of all the powder falling rollers 11 corresponding to different horizontal positions of the powder storage assembly 2 is equal, so that the powder storage assembly 2 can smoothly and uniformly store powder for powder paving.
In some preferred embodiments, the controller 5 linearly adjusts the powder feed rate of the powder feed assembly 1 in a continuously increasing or continuously decreasing manner.
Specifically, in the metal additive technology field, the gradient composite material obtained by mixing different metal materials is generally used to form a transition region of the metal materials of different materials, and therefore, for one metal material in the gradient composite material, the powder amount thereof is generally increased or decreased gradually along the length direction of the powder storage assembly 2, and therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the controller 5 preferably linearly adjusts the powder feeding rate of the powder feeding assembly 1 in a continuously increasing or continuously decreasing manner, so as to meet the general use requirement of the gradient composite material.
In some other embodiments, if there is a special requirement for the variation process of the gradient combined material, the controller 5 may further linearly adjust the powder feeding rate of the powder feeding assembly 1 according to a single curve, a single straight line or a compound line, so as to form a variation combination relationship of different metal material proportions in the length direction of the powder storage assembly 2, for example, the controller 5 linearly adjusts the powder feeding rate of the powder feeding assembly 1 according to one of a linear function, a sinusoidal function, a parabolic curve, a normal distribution function, or any combination linear function.
In some preferred embodiments, the number of the powder feeding assemblies 1 is two, and the two powder feeding assemblies 1 are driven by the moving assembly 4 to move alternately or synchronously in opposite directions or synchronously in the same direction.
Specifically, for the existing metal additive technology, the gradient combination material generally involves two materials and a transition mixed material between the two materials, so that the two powder feeding assemblies 1 can meet the use requirement.
More specifically, the two powder feeding assemblies 1 can feed the powder to the powder storage assembly 2 in a mode of feeding the powder simultaneously or sequentially; when the two powder feeding assemblies 1 feed powder simultaneously, the powder can be moved in a moving mode of synchronous reverse movement or synchronous same-direction movement.
More specifically, when the two powder feeding assemblies 1 move synchronously in the same direction, the sum of the powder feeding rates of the two powder feeding assemblies 1 is a fixed value, that is, the controller 5 controls the powder feeding rates of the two powder feeding assemblies 1 to be complementary, so that the total amount of the metal powder received by the powder storage assembly 2 at different positions is the same; in the embodiment, the controller 5 controls the moving assembly 4 to simultaneously drive the two powder feeding assemblies 1 to move in the same direction at a constant speed, and controls the rotating speeds of the powder dropping rollers 11 of the two powder feeding assemblies 1 according to a preset total rotating speed value, so that the rotating speeds of the two powder dropping rollers 11 are respectively continuously increased and continuously decreased, and the total rotating speed values at different moments are equal, wherein the total rotating speed value is the sum of the rotating speeds of the powder dropping rollers of all the powder feeding assemblies 1 at the same moment, and thus the two powder feeding assemblies 1 feed the continuously and uniformly transitional gradient combined materials towards the powder storage assembly 2; the control mode can monitor and adjust the powder feeding rates of the two powder feeding assemblies 1 in real time, and ensures that equal gradient combined materials exist at each position of the powder storage assembly 2.
More specifically, when the two powder feeding assemblies 1 move in the opposite directions synchronously, the powder feeding rates of the two powder feeding assemblies 1 are the same, that is, the controller 5 controls the two powder feeding assemblies 1 to move reversely from the upper parts of the two ends of the powder storage assembly 2 at a constant speed respectively so that the two powder feeding assemblies 1 perform mirror image motion with the middle part of the powder storage assembly 2, and controls the powder falling rollers 11 of the two powder feeding assemblies 1 to keep the same rotating speed, in order to further ensure that the powder storage assembly 2 has an equal amount of gradient combined materials at each position, in the embodiment, the powder feeding rates of the powder feeding assemblies 1 change at a constant speed, so that the two powder feeding assemblies 1 feed the gradient combined materials which are continuously and evenly transited towards the powder storage assembly 2; the control mode controls the two powder feeding assemblies 1 to inject different metal materials towards the powder storage assembly 2 in a mirror image mode, and ensures that the distribution characteristics of the different metal materials have mirror symmetry relation.
More specifically, when two powder feeding assemblies 1 are used for feeding powder successively, as shown in fig. 2, the two powder feeding assemblies 1 are arranged in parallel along the length direction of the powder storage assembly 2, the two powder feeding assemblies 1 can adopt alternate powder feeding (that is, one powder feeding assembly 1 finishes feeding powder and then starts the other powder feeding assembly 1 for feeding powder) or follow powder feeding (that is, the two powder feeding assemblies 1 move in parallel to feed powder), and the powder feeding assemblies 1 adopt parallel arrangement to enable the metal powder fed out by the two powder feeding assemblies 1 to fall into the central line of the powder storage assembly 2, so that the powder mixing of the powder storage assembly 2 is more uniform, and a high-quality gradient combined material is formed.
In some preferred embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the moving assembly 4 is an electric screw, and the controller 5 is configured to calculate the position of the powder feeding assembly 1 according to the rotation amount of the electric screw.
Specifically, the electric screw rod is composed of a ball screw pair and a servo motor for driving the screw rod to rotate, and has the advantage of high adjustment precision, the controller 5 in the system of the embodiment of the application can acquire the displacement of the screw nut in real time according to the rotation of the screw rod so as to confirm the displacement of the powder storage assembly 2, the powder feeding rate of the powder feeding assembly 1 is adjusted in a direct ratio or an inverse ratio according to the displacement, so that the powder feeding rate can be continuously increased or continuously decreased, and the electric screw rod has the characteristic of simple control logic.
More specifically, when the powder feeding rate needs to be adjusted according to a specific change curve, the controller 5 obtains a preset change curve about the gradient combined material in advance, calibrates the relationship between the abscissa (the position of the powder feeding assembly 1) of the change curve and the rotation amount of the screw rod, and then adjusts the powder feeding rate of the powder feeding assembly 1 in real time according to the rotation amount of the screw rod and the change curve during the movement of the powder feeding assembly 1.
More specifically, in another embodiment, when the moving assembly 4 is an electric screw, and the controller 5 controls the electric screw to drive the powder feeding assembly 1 to move, the controller 5 can calculate and obtain the position of the powder feeding assembly 1 according to the running time of the electric screw, and linearly adjust the powder feeding rate of the corresponding powder feeding assembly 1 according to the position of the powder feeding assembly 1.
In some other embodiments, the system of the embodiment of the present application can further obtain the position of the powder feeding assembly 1 relative to the powder storage assembly 2 through a visual sensor (not shown), a position detector (not shown), or a distance sensor 6, and adjust the powder feeding rate of the corresponding powder feeding assembly 1 in real time according to the position.
More specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the distance sensor 6 is provided on the frame of the additive machine on the side of the powder feeding assembly 1, and the position of the powder feeding assembly 1 is determined by measuring the distance of the powder feeding assembly 1 from the side wall of the frame.
More specifically, in this embodiment, the moving assembly 4 may also be a moving member using an air cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a rack and pinion drive structure, or a traveling belt.
In some preferred embodiments, when the two powder feeding assemblies 1 move synchronously and in the same direction, the two powder feeding assemblies 1 are fixedly connected, and in this embodiment, the two powder feeding assemblies 1 can be driven to move synchronously and in the same direction by using one electric screw rod.
