Background
The additive manufacturing is a manufacturing technology which integrates computer aided design, material processing and forming technology, and directly manufactures solid objects by stacking special metal materials, non-metal materials and medical materials layer by layer in modes of extrusion, sintering, melting, photocuring, spraying and the like through software and numerical control systems on the basis of digital model files. The selective melting additive manufacturing of the electron beams refers to a powder bed additive manufacturing technology which utilizes the electron beams as heat sources, has the advantages of high energy utilization rate, no reflection, high power density, high scanning speed, no pollution to vacuum environment and the like, and is suitable for forming and manufacturing refractory and high-performance metal materials such as titanium alloy, titanium-aluminum-based alloy and the like. Because the selective melting and material increase manufacturing of the electron beam requires powder laying layer by layer, the powder laying quality needs to be monitored in real time, and therefore the forming quality is prevented from being influenced. For example, a powder spreading scraper is damaged, which can cause uneven powder spreading and directly affect the forming quality of the next layer. However, the selective melting and additive manufacturing of a part by an electron beam often requires several to dozens of hours of continuous work, which causes a large amount of metal vapor due to metal melting and pollutes an optical observation lens, thereby making it difficult to complete real-time monitoring of the whole part manufacturing process.
The current on-line monitoring technology for the selective melting additive manufacturing process of the electron beam comprises the following steps: the CCD industrial camera is arranged on a vacuum chamber, a transparent protective film which is the same as a glue roll is added in front of a camera lens, a motor can drive the transparent film to rotate, the film polluted by metal vapor is rotated away, and meanwhile, a new protective film is unfolded in front of the lens. The disadvantage of this method is that the film roll needs to be replaced regularly, each roll of film can work for about 40 hours, and the cost of the high-temperature resistant transparent film is high. Meanwhile, the light source of the observation device is from the spot illumination after the filament of the electron gun is heated, and the defect that the observation cannot be carried out when the electron gun is not started is overcome. The commonly used observation system is realized by combining a reflecting lens and a CCD camera, a reflector is arranged beside the axis of an electron beam in the electron gun and forms an included angle of 45 degrees with the horizontal plane, the camera is horizontally arranged outside the electron gun body and is opposite to the position of the reflector, and the observation of a processing area is realized through the reflector. The reflector is arranged right above the beam processing area, so the reflector is very easily polluted by metal vapor, the method for protecting the reflector against metal vapor pollution is to add a movable or electric baffle below the reflector, the baffle is opened when the beam position is corrected before processing, the observation is effective, and when the electron beam is in the processing process, the baffle is closed to shield the light path of the reflector, so that the metal vapor is prevented from polluting the lens. A disadvantage of this observation system is that the entire process cannot be observed in real time.

Moreover, the turntable 130 is provided with a first through hole 131 and a second through hole 132, the first through hole 131 is provided at the rotation center of the turntable 130, that is, when the turntable 130 rotates relative to the vacuum chamber 200, the position of the first through hole 131 relative to the vacuum chamber 200 is kept unchanged; the second through hole 132 is spaced apart from the first through hole 131 such that the second through hole 132 rotates in a circumferential direction around the first through hole 131 when the turntable 130 rotates with respect to the vacuum chamber 200.
It should be noted that, referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the electron beam gun 300, the image capturing device 110 and the illuminating device 120 are disposed outside the vacuum chamber 200. In order to facilitate the electron beam 310 emitted from the electron beam gun 300 to project onto the predetermined region 410 of the worktable 400, the vacuum chamber 200 is opened with a first mounting hole 220, and the first mounting hole 220 is disposed toward the predetermined region 410, the electron beam gun 300 is disposed corresponding to the first mounting hole 220, and the electron beam 310 emitted from the electron beam gun 300 can project onto the predetermined region 410 through the first mounting hole 220. Next, in order to facilitate the illumination device 120 to project the illumination light to the preset area 410, the vacuum chamber 200 further has a second mounting hole 230, the second mounting hole 230 is disposed toward the preset area 410, and the illumination device 120 is disposed corresponding to the second mounting hole 230, so that the illumination light can be projected to the preset area 410 through the second mounting hole 230.

Wherein, in order to avoid the electron beam gun 300, the image capturing device 110 and the illumination device 120 from affecting each other when being mounted, the first mounting hole 220, the second mounting hole 230 and the third mounting hole 240 are spaced apart from each other. Optionally, the axis of the first mounting hole 220 is perpendicular to the plane of the predetermined area 410, so that the electron beam 310 is aligned with the predetermined area 410, thereby ensuring that the electron beam 310 can be accurately projected to the predetermined area 410. In order to facilitate the illumination light emitted by the illumination device 120 to be projected on the preset area 410 and to facilitate the image acquisition device 110 to acquire the image of the preset area 410, the axis of the second mounting hole 230 is inclined with respect to the axis of the first mounting hole 220, and the axis of the third mounting hole 240 is inclined with respect to the axis of the first mounting hole 220; optionally, the axis of the first mounting hole 220, the axis of the second mounting hole 230, and the axis of the third mounting hole 240 intersect at the predetermined area 410. In addition, in some embodiments of the present application, the illumination device 120 and the image capture device 110 are disposed on both sides of the electron beam gun 300, in other words, an axis of the image capture device 110, an axis of the illumination device 120, and an axis of the electron beam gun 300 are in a preset plane, such that an axis of the first mounting hole 220, an axis of the second mounting hole 230, and an axis of the third mounting hole 240 are in the preset plane. Of course, in other embodiments, the arrangement positions of the electron beam gun 300, the illumination device 120 and the image capturing device 110 may be different, and it is only necessary to ensure that the electron beam 310 can be projected on the preset region 410, that the illumination light can be projected on the preset region 410, and that the image capturing device 110 can capture the image of the preset region 410.
In some embodiments of the present application, transparent lead glass is filled in the first mounting hole 220, the second mounting hole 230, and the third mounting hole 240, so as to prevent X-rays inside the vacuum chamber 200 from leaking out and prevent X-rays from injuring an operator on the premise that the electron beam gun 300, the lighting device 120, and the image collecting device 110 can normally operate. Certainly, by filling the transparent lead glass in the first mounting hole 220, the second mounting hole 230 and the third mounting hole 240, the accommodating space 210 can be sealed, so that the sealing performance of the accommodating space 210 is improved, and the vacuum-pumping process of the accommodating space 210 is facilitated.
In an embodiment of the application, the additive manufacturing monitoring system 100 may further include a display 140, the display 140 having a movable reticle and coordinate recording function, the display 140 being electrically connected to the image capturing device 110 for real-time imaging of the working area for facilitating observation and monitoring by an operator.
In addition, referring to fig. 1, 3, 4 and 5, the turntable 130 is disposed between the worktable 400 and the electron beam gun 300, and the first through hole 131 is disposed corresponding to the electron beam gun 300, so that the electron beam 310 emitted from the electron beam gun 300 can pass through the first through hole 131 and be projected on the preset area 410 of the worktable 400; moreover, in order to facilitate the illumination light emitted by the illumination device 120 to be projected to the preset area 410, the turntable 130 rotates relative to the vacuum chamber 200, and the second through hole 132 can be made to correspond to the illumination device 120, so that the illumination light can be projected to the preset area 410 of the worktable 400 through the second through hole 132; accordingly, in order to facilitate the image capturing device 110 to capture the image of the predetermined area 410, the turntable 130 rotates relative to the vacuum chamber 200, and the second through hole 132 can be made to correspond to the image capturing device 110, and the image capturing device 110 can capture the image of the predetermined area 410 through the second through hole 132.
It should be noted that, when the rotation speed of the turntable 130 reaches the first preset speed, the first frequency of the second through hole 132 corresponding to the image capturing device 110 is greater than the frame rate of the image capturing device 110, and at this time, the image capturing device 110 can capture a clear image, so as to clearly observe and monitor the additive manufacturing process in the preset area 410. The second through hole 132 corresponds to the image capturing device for the first time to start timing, the turntable 130 rotates for the first time at the first preset speed for a week, and the second through hole 132 corresponds to the image capturing device 110 for the second time, and at this time, the first frequency of the second through hole 132 corresponding to the image capturing device 110 is equal to the reciprocal of the first time. Accordingly, the first predetermined speed is equal to pi divided by the first time, and the first predetermined speed refers to the angular speed of the rotation of the turntable 130. Similarly, when the rotation speed of the turntable 130 reaches the first preset speed, the illumination light emitted by the illumination device 120 can be effectively projected onto the preset area 410, thereby ensuring that the image capturing device 110 can capture a clear image.
In some embodiments of the present application, the image capture device 110 employs a CCD industrial camera. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the image capturing apparatus 110 may also employ other image capturing devices.
Further, in order to allow a large control range of the rotation speed of the dial 130, the rotation speed of the dial 130 is conveniently controlled. In some embodiments of the present application, the second through holes 132 are multiple, the multiple second through holes 132 are disposed around the first through hole 131, and the multiple second through holes 132 form a circle with the first through hole 131 as a center. At this time, only when the turntable 130 is rotated, the second frequency of the two adjacent second through holes 132 corresponding to the image capturing device 110 in sequence is greater than the frame rate of the image capturing device 110, so that the purpose of capturing a clear image by the image capturing device 110 can be achieved. It should be noted that, when one of the second through holes 132 corresponds to the image capturing device 110, the rotating disc 130 rotates at a second preset speed for a second time, and makes another adjacent second through hole 132 correspond to the image capturing device 110, and at this time, the second frequency of the two adjacent second through holes 132 sequentially corresponding to the image capturing device 110 is equal to the reciprocal of the second time. Accordingly, the second preset speed is equal to the radian between two adjacent second through holes 132 divided by the second time, wherein the second preset speed refers to the angular speed of the rotation of the rotating disc 130.
It should be noted that, when the first frequency and the second frequency both satisfy a frame rate greater than the image capturing device 110 and the first frequency is equal to the second frequency, the first time is equal to the second time. Because the radian between two adjacent second through holes 132 is less than pi, it indicates that the second preset speed is less than the first preset speed, that is, when the plurality of second through holes 132 are formed in the turntable 130, the rotating speed of the turntable 130 can be lower, and the rotating speed control range of the turntable 130 is larger, which is more beneficial to controlling the rotating speed of the turntable 130, so that the rotating speed of the turntable 130 has a larger control range, and the rotating speed of the turntable 130 can be conveniently controlled.
In addition, in order to further facilitate the control of the rotation speed of the turntable 130 and to make the rotation of the turntable 130 more stable, in some embodiments of the present application, the plurality of second through holes 132 are disposed at equal intervals, so that the radians between any two adjacent second through holes 132 are the same, and further the second frequencies of two adjacent second through holes 132 sequentially corresponding to the image capturing device 110 are the same, which can facilitate the control of the rotation speed of the turntable 130. In addition, when the second through holes 132 are arranged at equal intervals, the mass distribution of the turntable 130 is uniform, so that the shaking caused by the uneven quality of the turntable 130 can be avoided, and the stability of the rotation of the turntable 130 is further ensured.
In some embodiments of the present application, the turntable 130 includes a central portion 133 and a peripheral portion 134, the peripheral portion 134 is disposed around the central portion 133, the peripheral portion 134 has a first side 1341 and a second side 1342 disposed opposite to each other along an axial direction, the central portion 133 protrudes from the first side 1341, and a mounting hole 1343 corresponding to the central portion 133 is formed on the second side 1342 in a recessed manner, and the mounting hole 1343 is configured to be rotatably engaged with the rotating shaft 250 inside the vacuum chamber 200. In other words, the turntable 130 can be regarded as a disk, in which the middle portion of the disk is protruded to one side in the axial direction thereof and is formed with a groove, the protruded portion forms a central portion 133, the outer peripheral portion 134 is the outer peripheral portion 133, and the groove is the mounting hole 1343. In addition, the first through hole 131 is opened in the middle of the central portion 133, and the first through hole 131 communicates with the mounting hole 1343. The second through holes 132 are formed on the peripheral portion 134, wherein when there are a plurality of second through holes 132, the plurality of second through holes 132 are disposed on the peripheral portion 134 at equal intervals.
In an embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 1, 6 and 7, a rotating shaft 250 is disposed at the top of the vacuum chamber 200, the rotating shaft 250 is hollow and cylindrical, and a hole inside the rotating shaft 250 corresponds to the first mounting hole 220, so that the electron beam 310 can pass through the hole in the center of the rotating shaft 250 after passing through the first mounting hole 220, and the rotating shaft 250 is prevented from affecting the projection of the electron beam 310. When the mounting hole 1343 is correspondingly mounted on the rotation shaft 250, the first through hole 131 is disposed corresponding to the central hole of the rotation shaft 250 to ensure that the electron beam 310 can be projected on the predetermined area 410 through the first through hole 131. Further, a bearing is provided between the inner peripheral wall of the mounting hole 1343 and the outer peripheral wall of the rotary shaft 250, thereby ensuring that the dial 130 can be rotated stably and efficiently.
Further, in the embodiment of the present application, the additive manufacturing monitoring system 100 further includes a driving device 500, the driving device 500 is installed on the top of the accommodating space 210, and the driving device 500 is in transmission connection with the turntable 130 for driving the turntable 130 to rotate relative to the vacuum chamber 200.

When the driving device 500 outputs kinetic energy, the output gear 510 can rotate, and the output gear 510 can drive the gear ring 135 to rotate, so that the kinetic energy can be transmitted to the turntable 130 to drive the turntable 130 to rotate relative to the vacuum chamber 200. Of course, in other embodiments, the driving device 500 may also adopt other transmission modes, such as a chain transmission mode or a belt transmission mode.
Further, in some embodiments of the present application, the ring gear 135 is disposed on a side of the turntable 130 close to the electron beam gun 300 in the axial direction, i.e., the ring gear 135 is disposed on a side of the turntable 130 close to a top wall of the vacuum chamber 200. It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the mutual matching between the output gear 510 and the gear ring 135, a certain gap is provided between the turntable 130 and the top of the vacuum chamber 200, and the output gear 510 is disposed inside the gap. Of course, in other embodiments, the ring gear 135 may be disposed on a side of the turntable 130 away from the electron beam gun 300, or the ring gear 135 may be disposed on an outer circumference of the turntable 130 in a radial direction, or the like.
In addition, in order to avoid the driving device 500 from affecting the illumination light emitted by the illumination device 120 and to avoid the driving device 500 from affecting the image capturing device 110, the axis of the driving device 500 is disposed at an angle with respect to the predetermined plane. The preset plane is a plane formed by the axis of the image capturing device 110, the axis of the illuminating device 120, and the axis of the electron beam gun 300. This makes it possible to shift the optical path of the illumination light and the optical path of the image pickup device 110 from each other in the driving device 500, and it is possible to ensure that a clear image can be picked up by the image pickup device 110.

The position of the reticle on the display 140 is adjusted so that the center of the reticle coincides with the center position of the electron beam 310, and the position coordinates of the reticle displayed on the display 140 are recorded. Then, the selective melting additive manufacturing process of the electron beam 310 can be performed, and at this time, the image acquisition device 110 can clearly acquire the image of the preset area 410, so as to perform clear real-time observation and monitoring.
In summary, in the additive manufacturing monitoring system 100 and the electron beam selective melting additive manufacturing apparatus 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the electron beam gun 300 can emit the electron beam 310 toward the work table 400, and the electron beam 310 can pass through the first through hole 131 and be projected on the work table 400, so as to achieve the purpose of melting metal. The control turntable 130 can rotate, when the rotating speed of the control turntable 130 reaches a certain rotating speed, the second through hole 132 is enabled to correspond to the frequency of the image acquisition device 110 and is larger than the frame rate of the image acquisition device 110, the clear preset area 410 on the monitoring workbench 400 of the image acquisition device 110 can be achieved, meanwhile, the illumination device 120 can effectively project illumination light on the preset area 410, and further clear monitoring can be conducted on additive manufacturing. In addition, when the additive manufacturing is performed, the accommodating space 210 needs to be evacuated to vacuum, and at this time, the metal vapor moves slowly in the accommodating space 210 in the vacuum state, so that the metal vapor is easily attached to the rotating turntable 130, and thus the metal vapor is prevented from moving to the lens of the image capturing device 110, and further the optical path of the image capturing device 110 can be prevented from being polluted. Similarly, the metal vapor can be prevented from contaminating the lens of the lighting device 120, and further the light path of the lighting device 120 is prevented from being contaminated. The observation lens can be effectively protected from being polluted by metal vapor, the continuous working time of the additive manufacturing monitoring system is prolonged to a great extent, the continuous working time of the additive manufacturing monitoring system for real-time monitoring can reach more than 1000 hours, and the maintenance cost can be reduced.
