1-5, FIGS. 1-5 are schematic diagrams illustrating a continuous gradient material powder paving system for paving gradient materials according to some embodiments of the present application, wherein the system includes a powder feeding assembly 1, a powder storage assembly 2 and a powder paving assembly 3 sequentially arranged from top to bottom, and at least two powder feeding assemblies 1; the system further comprises:
the moving assembly 4 is used for driving the powder feeding assembly 1 to continuously horizontally displace;
the controller 5 is electrically connected with the powder feeding component 1, the powder paving component 3 and the moving component 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 spreading component 3 to mix and spread the powder after the powder storage component 2 is full of the powder.
Specifically, when the continuous gradient material powder paving system of the embodiment of the application performs powder paving, the moving component 4 drives the powder conveying component 1 to continuously move from above one end of the powder storage component 2 to above the other end of the powder storage component 2, and the powder conveying component 1 continuously conveys powder to the powder storage component 2 in the moving process, so that the whole powder storage component 2 can receive metal powder along the moving direction of the powder conveying component 1.
More specifically, during the movement 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 along the movement 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 such that the powder feeding assembly 1 linearly changes the output amount of the metal powder during the movement such that the powder storage assembly 2 has the metal powder whose amount (mass) in the moving direction of the powder feeding assembly 1 is linearly changed for one metal powder fed out by the same powder feeding assembly 1.
More specifically, the continuous gradient material powder paving system in the embodiment of the present application is provided with at least two powder feeding assemblies 1, and different powder feeding assemblies 1 store different types of metal powder according to process requirements, so after the controller 5 controls all the powder feeding assemblies 1 to feed powder, the powder storage assembly 2 should be understood to receive multiple powder feeding amounts with linear change.
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 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 assembly 1 is driven by the moving assembly 4 to move from above one end of the powder storage assembly 2 to above the other end of the powder storage assembly 2, so as to finish one powder feeding operation, and the powder storage assembly 2 finishes one or more powder feeding operations by using different powder feeding assemblies 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 fully filled with powder through the cooperation of the powder storage components 2 with different powder feeding rates, namely, the continuous gradient material powder paving system at least has two powder feeding components 1 with different linear adjusting characteristics, so that the powder storage component 2 can be smoothly fully filled with powder under the powder feeding effect of the plurality of powder feeding components 1, and the powder storage components 2 can be used for storing metal powder with different proportions along different powder storage positions in the length direction of the powder storage component 2.
More specifically, the controller 5 in the system of the embodiment of the present application may determine whether the powder storage component 2 is full of powder through a visual camera or a weighing sensor, and may also determine whether the powder storage component 2 is full of powder by identifying whether all the powder feeding components 1 have completed the corresponding number of powder feeding operations; 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 a powder feeding component 1, the feeding rate of the powder feeding component is linearly changed along the length direction of the powder storage component 2, so that the powder amount of the metal powder of the powder feeding component 1 received by the powder storage component 2 is linearly changed along the length direction of the powder feeding component, after the powder storage component 2 is fully filled with the powder, the proportion of the metal powder in the powder storage component is linearly changed along the length direction of the powder storage component, namely, gradient combined powder with continuously-changing proportion distribution is obtained, on the basis, the powder mixing and the powder spreading can be carried out to realize gradient powder spreading with uniform transition, so that the metal powder paved by the powder spreading component 3 has no obvious transition boundary in the length direction of the powder storage component 2, and the gradient material uniformity transition is effectively improved, so as to improve the metal material additive effect.
In some preferred embodiments, the embodiments of the present application aim to achieve continuous variable delivery of the powder amount by using the controller 5 to regulate the powder delivery relationship between the powder delivery assembly 1 and the powder storage assembly 2, so in the embodiments of the present application, the moving assembly 4 preferably drives the powder delivery assembly 1 to move at a constant speed, so that the controller 5 can precisely control the powder amount received at different positions on the powder storage assembly 2 by regulating the powder delivery rate of the powder delivery assembly 1, so as to simplify the process of linearly regulating the powder delivery rate of the powder delivery assembly 1 by the controller 5.
In some other embodiments, the powder feeding assembly 1 can also be fixed-speed powder feeding, and the controller 5 adjusts the moving speed of the moving assembly 4 through a variable speed so as to realize linear adjustment of the powder feeding speed of the powder feeding assembly 1 relative to the length direction of the powder storage assembly 2.
In some preferred embodiments, the sum of the powder feeding rates of all the powder feeding modules 1 corresponding to the different horizontal positions of the powder storage module 2 is equal.
Specifically, after all powder feeding components 1 complete one-time powder feeding operation, it is required to ensure that the total amount of metal powder received at different positions of the powder storage component 2 is the same so as to avoid the problems of powder overflow or partial powder spreading missing caused by uneven distribution of the material amount of the gradient combined powder, in this embodiment, the powder feeding rate of the powder feeding component 1 determines the powder amount of the corresponding metal powder received by the powder storage component 2 at the same position of the powder storage component 2, and the sum of the powder feeding rates of all the powder feeding components 1 corresponding to different horizontal positions of the powder storage component 2 along the length direction determines the material amount of the gradient combined powder at the position, so that the powder storage component 2 can smoothly and uniformly store the powder for powder spreading.
In some preferred embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the discharging end of the powder feeding assembly 1 is provided with a powder feeding 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 rotation speed of the powder feeding roller 11.
Specifically, the powder feeding assembly 1 comprises a powder hopper and a powder falling roller 11 arranged in the powder hopper, the powder falling roller 11 is driven to rotate by a powder falling motor, and the controller 5 adjusts the powder feeding speed of the powder feeding assembly 1 by adjusting the rotating speed of the powder falling motor, so that in the embodiment of the application, the amounts of the metal powder received at different positions on the powder storage assembly 2 are in direct proportion to the rotating speed of the powder falling roller 11 in the corresponding powder storage assembly 2; the controller 5 can realize the linear change powder feeding function by controlling the rotating speed of the powder falling roller 11, and has the characteristics of convenient and accurate adjustment.
More specifically, the sum of the rotational 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 the powder for powder laying.
In some preferred embodiments, the controller 5 linearly adjusts the powder feed rate of the powder feed assembly 1 for continuous increment or continuous decrement.
Specifically, in the technical field of metal additive, the gradient composite materials obtained by mixing different metal materials are generally used to form transition regions of metal materials of different materials, so that for one metal material in the gradient composite materials, the powder amount of the metal material is generally gradually increased or decreased along the length direction of the powder storage component 2, and therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the controller 5 preferably linearly adjusts the powder feeding rate of the powder feeding component 1 in a continuously increasing or continuously decreasing manner, so that the general use requirement of the gradient composite materials can be met.
In some other embodiments, if there is a special requirement for the changing process of the gradient composite material, the controller 5 may also linearly adjust the powder feeding rate of the powder feeding assembly 1 according to a single curve, a single straight line or a composite line, so as to form a changing composite relationship of different metal material ratios 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 linear type or any combination linear type of a linear function, a sinusoidal function, a parabolic line, and a normal distribution function.
In some preferred embodiments, the number of the powder feeding assemblies 1 is two, and the two powder feeding assemblies 1 are alternately moved or synchronously reversely moved or synchronously moved in the same direction under the driving action of the moving assembly 4.
In particular, for the existing metal additive technology, the gradient composite material generally relates to two materials and a transitional mixed material positioned between the two materials, so that the powder feeding assembly 1 can meet the use requirement by adopting two materials.
More specifically, the two powder feeding assemblies 1 can feed the powder to the powder storage assembly 2 in a mode of simultaneously feeding the powder or feeding the powder sequentially; when two powder feeding assemblies 1 adopt simultaneous powder feeding, the powder feeding can be carried out in a synchronous reverse movement or a synchronous same-direction movement mode.
More specifically, when the two powder feeding components 1 move in the same direction in a synchronous manner, the sum of the feeding rates of the two powder feeding components 1 is a fixed value, that is, the controller 5 controls the feeding rates of the two powder feeding components 1 to be complementary, so that the total amounts of the metal powder received at different positions of the powder storage component 2 are the same; in this embodiment, the controller 5 controls the moving assembly 4 to simultaneously drive the two powder feeding assemblies 1 to move at the same direction and at a constant speed, and controls the rotation speeds of the powder falling rollers 11 of the two powder feeding assemblies 1 according to a preset total rotation speed value, so that the rotation speeds of the two powder falling rollers 11 are respectively continuously increased and continuously decreased, and the total rotation speeds at different moments are equal, wherein the total rotation speed value is the sum of the rotation speeds of the powder falling rollers of all the powder feeding assemblies 1 at the same moment, so that the two powder feeding assemblies 1 feed continuously and uniformly transitional gradient composite materials towards the powder storage assembly 2; the control mode can monitor and adjust the powder feeding rate of the two powder feeding assemblies 1 in real time, and ensures that the equal amount of gradient combined materials are arranged at each position of the powder storage assembly 2.
More specifically, when the two powder feeding components 1 are synchronously moved reversely, the powder feeding rates of the two powder feeding components 1 are the same, that is, the controller 5 controls the two powder feeding components 1 to respectively move reversely and uniformly from the upper parts of the two ends of the powder storage component 2 so that the two powder feeding components 1 move in a mirror image manner at the middle part of the powder storage component 2, and controls the powder dropping rollers 11 of the two powder feeding components 1 to keep the same rotating speed, so as to further ensure that the same amount of gradient combined materials are arranged at each position of the powder storage component 2, in the embodiment, the powder feeding rates of the powder feeding components 1 are changed uniformly, and thus the two powder feeding components 1 feed the continuously and uniformly transitional gradient combined materials towards the powder storage component 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 a mirror image symmetry relationship.
More specifically, when the two powder feeding assemblies 1 are sequentially feeding powder, 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, and the two powder feeding assemblies 1 can alternately feed powder (i.e. one powder feeding assembly 1 starts the other powder feeding assembly 1 to feed powder after finishing feeding powder) or feed powder (i.e. the two powder feeding assemblies 1 move in parallel to feed powder), and the powder feeding assemblies 1 adopt parallel arrangement to enable the fed metal powder of 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 composite 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 screw rod rotation quantity so as to confirm the displacement of the powder storage component 2, and the powder feeding rate of the powder feeding component 1 can be adjusted in a direct proportion or inverse proportion according to the displacement so as to realize continuous increment or continuous decrement adjustment of the powder feeding rate, and the system 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 related to the gradient composite material in advance, calibrates the relation between the abscissa of the change curve (the position of the powder feeding component 1) and the rotation amount of the screw rod, and then adjusts the powder feeding rate of the powder feeding component 1 in real time according to the rotation amount of the screw rod and the change curve during the movement of the powder feeding component 1.
More specifically, in other embodiments, when the moving component 4 is an electric screw, the controller 5 can calculate and obtain the position of the powder feeding component 1 according to the running time of the electric screw and linearly adjust the powder feeding rate of the corresponding powder feeding component 1 according to the position of the powder feeding component 1 when the controller 5 controls the electric screw to drive the powder feeding component 1 to move.
In some other embodiments, the system according to the embodiments of the present application may further obtain the position of the powder feeding assembly 1 relative to the powder storage assembly 2 through a visual sensor (not shown in the drawings), a position detector (not shown in the drawings), 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, a distance sensor 6 is provided on the frame of the additive apparatus on one side of the powder feeding assembly 1, and the position of the powder feeding assembly 1 is determined by measuring the distance between the powder feeding assembly 1 and the side wall of the frame.
More specifically, in this embodiment, the moving assembly 4 may also be a moving member employing an air cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a rack and pinion driving 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, one electric screw rod can drive the two powder feeding assemblies 1 to move synchronously and in the same direction.
