Description

Selective laser melting forming equipment capable of realizing continuous production
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of mechanical metal 3D printing and manufacturing, and particularly relates to selective laser melting and forming equipment capable of realizing continuous production.
Background
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is one of the mainstream technological means in the metal 3D printing industry today, and has the advantages of high material utilization rate, wide applicable material range, capability of manufacturing parts with complex shapes, and the like, and is a rapid molding technology with great development prospects. The main working principle is that a file obtained after three-dimensional modeling slicing is guided into 3D printing equipment, metal powder is flatly paved by a scraper based on a powder feeding and powder paving mode, and high-energy laser is controlled by a laser machine to scan and pile up a formed workpiece layer by layer.
On the existing market, conventional jumbo size metal 3D printer is after accomplishing a component printing completion, need to construct the storehouse earlier and remove clear powder position cooling of stewing, treats to construct the storehouse powder recovery again after cooling completely, and the principle is in inhaling the fixed container that vacuum recovery unit connects with metal powder through the mode that the vacuum is inhaled, and the in-process needs the artifical printing platform that rises repeatedly to construct in the storehouse, until exposing completely and construct the storehouse. And then, taking the part with the substrate out of the powder cleaning bin in a hoisting mode manually. Therefore, the whole part taking process comprises three steps of cooling, powder recovery and substrate part taking.
When the equipment needs to print the next board task, a new substrate is installed at the powder cleaning position, and then the construction bin is moved to the printing position. Therefore, the parts are required to be taken out and mounted on a new substrate in series from the completion of the printing of the parts on the previous plate to the preparation of the printing of the parts on the next plate, the whole process needs at least 24h for large-size metal 3D printing equipment, and the equipment is completely in a stop state in the process.
In addition, for the powder cleaning bin in a single machine mode, the powder cleaning bin is completely in an idle state in the printing process of the equipment for several weeks and cannot be applied to other equipment, and the utilization rate of the module is greatly reduced.
At present, switchable warehouse building schemes based on automatic production lines, such as Germany EOS and SLM Solution, are continuously introduced in domestic and foreign markets, namely, the warehouse building or the forming cylinder is integrally switched to meet the continuous printing of SLM equipment. However, the proposed solutions are all for metal 3D printers with small printing size, and when the above mentioned solution of switching the whole build bins is adopted, the requirements on the carrying capacity and the positioning accuracy of the build bin carrier are very high for SLM devices with more than 600mm × 600mm × 600mm or SLM devices with a single build bin carrying full cylinder of powder, which weighs several tons or even exceeds 10 tons. In addition, the traditional construction bin is switched based on a mechanical positioning and locking mechanism, and the long-time abrasion can cause the loss of precision; secondly, the consistency of the switched building bin and the switched building bin is absolutely high in the whole building bin switching requirement, and the equipment cost or the production line cost and the control difficulty of the mode are very high.
