Detailed Description
The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by a person skilled in the art without making any inventive effort, are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention.
The practice of the invention refers to fig. 1-5.
As shown in fig. 1, a laser additive system is mainly applied to single-laser or multi-laser wire feeding additive manufacturing, and comprises a machine tool additive system or a multi-joint robot additive system. The laser material adding system mainly comprises a laser, a printing head 1, a substrate 2, a shielding gas system, a wire feeding system 3, a controller, a cooling system, a heating system and the like. The laser is a laser or a plurality of lasers, and a laser channel is arranged inside the printing head 1. The inside of the printing head 1 is also provided with a wire feeding channel, a cooling system or a heating system, wherein the wire feeding channel is used for feeding wires or removing wires of the wire feeding system, the cooling system is used for cooling the laser channel, and the heating system is used for preheating the wires 5. The base plate 2 is fixedly arranged or movably arranged on the triaxial movement mechanism, and a small hole is arranged at a certain position on the base plate 2 and can penetrate through the wire 5. The controller is used for controlling the movement mechanism, heating, cooling and the like of the laser material adding system. Wherein the printhead 1 and the substrate 2 are movable relative to each other. The print head 1 and the substrate 2 are provided on a three-axis motion mechanism or a six-axis robot. The wire 5 of the wire feeding system 3 is a metal wire including an aluminum alloy, a titanium alloy, a stainless steel material, or the like.
The wire feeding system 2 includes an actuator, which is a servo motor having a forward and reverse rotation function, and the servo motor has a speed control mode, a position control mode, and a torque control mode. When the servo motor is in a speed control mode, the servo motor rotates at a certain speed, and the wire feeding system feeds or feeds wires at a certain speed. When the servo motor is in a position control mode, the servo motor rotates at a certain distance, and the wire feeding system feeds or feeds wires at a certain distance. When the servomotor is in torque mode, the servomotor rotates with a certain torque force, and the wire feeding system 2 applies a certain force to the wire 5, which force can be along the wire feeding direction or the wire withdrawing direction. Wire feeding means that the wire moves in the direction of the substrate, and wire unwinding means that the wire moves in the direction opposite to the substrate.
The laser material adding system comprises three lasers or six lasers, and the power range of a single laser is 0-200w. The diameter of the wire was 1.2mm.
FIG. 2 is a process flow of the present invention. In the additive manufacturing process, the arcing and the quenching at different positions form different printing processes, such as a first printing process, including a first arcing point and a first quenching point; the second printing process comprises a second arc starting point and a second arc quenching point, and the third printing process comprises a third arc starting point, a third arc quenching point and the like. When the first printing process is finished, the end part of the wire rod is provided with a 'molten ball' after arc extinction, and in order to remove the 'molten ball' and ensure that the dry extension of the second starting point is consistent with the dry extension of the first starting point, an automatic gun cleaning and wire cutting and dry extension correction method is adopted.
The automatic gun cleaning and wire cutting method comprises the following steps: the print head 1 and the base plate 2 move relatively, so that the wire 5 moves to the hole arranged on the base plate 2, wherein the hole is a special gun cleaning and wire cutting position. The servo motor drives the wire feed system in a speed control mode to feed wires 5 through the holes of the base plate 2. The base plate 2 is provided with hold-down mechanism 4 in the below of hole position, and wire 5 pierces into the hole, and after the sensor detects wire 5 in place, hold-down mechanism 4 compresses tightly wire 5, and servo motor switches to the moment of torsion control mode to give wire 5 the power in the wire withdrawal direction. The force may vary from 2N to 8N. At this time, the wire 5 between the print head 1 and the substrate 2 is tensioned. Step two: the laser of the printing head 1 is adjusted to align the laser with the upper part of the 'molten ball' of the wire 5, the protective gas is started, the laser is started, the wire 5 is melted, and the 'molten ball' is removed. As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the PLC sends a gun cleaning and wire cutting instruction to the lower computer, the lower computer receives the instruction, the lower computer controls the laser to output the preheating power, delays t0 under the preheating power, then the lower computer controls the laser to output the fuse power, delays t1 under the fuse power, t1=t2-t 0, then the lower computer controls to turn off the power output of the laser, and the process is finished. When the diameter of the wire 5 is 1.2mm and three lasers are used, each laser is started, each laser irradiates the wire 5 with a preheating power of 30w for 200ms in a delay manner, the wire 5 is preheated, then each laser is switched to a fuse power of 200w, the laser is irradiated with the delay time of 20ms, and the wire 5 is fused at the instant high temperature of the laser. When six lasers are used and the diameter of the wire 5 is 1.2mm, each laser is started, each laser irradiates the wire 5 with preheating power of 30w for 100ms in a delayed mode, the wire 5 is preheated, then each laser is switched to fuse power of 200w, the laser is irradiated with the delay for 10ms, and the wire 5 is fused at the instant high temperature of the laser. Since the wire 5 is in tension during fusing, the occurrence of small "balls" that may be caused by laser melting the wire 5 is avoided. Meanwhile, the shielding gas is high-pressure shielding gas, and the gas flow is 4L/min-50L/min. Under the pressure effect of the high-pressure protective gas, the occurrence of smaller 'molten balls' is further avoided.
As shown in fig. 3, after the automatic gun cleaning and wire cutting are completed, dry extension correction is performed. Step one: the print head 1 and the substrate 2 are moved relative to each other so that the wire 5 avoids the holes in the substrate 2. At this time, the wires 5 and the substrate 2 are respectively connected with the wires 6. The servo motor switches the speed control mode, the wire feeding system 3 is driven to feed wires, a loop is formed between the wire 5 and the substrate 2 at the moment that the wire 5 contacts the substrate 2, the controller receives a signal, the servo motor is switched to the position control mode, and the relative position of the current servo motor is set to be 0. Step two: the controller controls the servo motor to rotate reversely and drives the wire feeding system 3 to feed wires, and the wire feeding distance is w. Given that the distance from the print head 1 to the substrate 2 is H, the dry elongation of the wire 5 at the different arcing points is set to L, the wire 5 is unwound by a distance w=h-L, and the w value ranges: 0.3-0.4mm; the distance H from the printhead 1 to the substrate 2 is known to be done by laser ranging.
The method of the invention can be applied to the field of laser welding as well.
The above-described embodiments are intended to be exemplary, non-limiting to those skilled in the art, and the scope of the invention is not to be limited by the above-described embodiments, nor is any reference sign in the claims to be construed as limiting the scope of the claims concerned.
