[0035] The workbench in this embodiment is not limited to the traditional open platform. The preferred workbench in this embodiment is the work cabin 16, which has a hollow rectangular parallelepiped structure, the powder spreading mechanism, the first drive structure, and the powder supply device. It is set in the inner cavity of the working cabin, and the side wall of the working cabin is provided with operating windows. Of course, the specific structure of the working cabin is not limited to the rectangular parallelepiped structure. It can be adjusted according to the printed products and the settings of internal parts. I will not repeat them here. The top of the working cabin is provided with a light hole 17 for the laser to pass through. The bottom of the working cabin is facing the light hole and connected with a downwardly extending forming channel. A forming table 18 is provided in the forming channel. The table can be raised and lowered in the forming channel. The specific lifting mode can be realized by linear motors, hydraulic cylinders or other structures, which will not be repeated here. Two powder supply devices are arranged on the left and right sides of the forming table 18. The first drive The device adopts the first motor 19, the first motor is in cooperation with the ball screw 20, the ball screw is threadedly connected with the slider, the slider protrudes on the back of the connecting plate 21, and the back of the scraper mounting seat is fixedly connected to the front side of the connecting plate. The cooperation of the motor and the ball screw realizes the precise driving of the powder spreading mechanism. There are two bearing seats on the side wall of the working cabin. The two ends of the ball screw are installed on the bearings in the bearing seat. This structure makes the screw and the The working cabin rotates and cooperates to improve the stability of the ball screw. The bottom of the scraper mounting seat is provided with a T-shaped installation groove, and the top of the scraper is provided with a T-shaped installation boss. The T-shaped installation boss is set in the T-shaped installation groove to realize the scraper This structure facilitates the installation and disassembly of the scraper, and is convenient for maintenance and repair. The bottom of the scraper is provided with chamfers on both sides along the sliding direction of the scraper. During the scraper sliding and scraping process, the chamfer exerts downward pressure on the powder, and The downward pressure can be adjusted by the angle of the chamfer, thereby adjusting the compactness of the powder and improving the powder laying effect; the scraper mounting seat has an upward slope from the outside to the inside, through which the side of the scraper mounting seat can form a triangular structure or A right-angled trapezoidal structure is formed. The scraper mounting base 1 is mounted on the connecting plate 21 to form a triangular cantilever structure, which improves the stability of the scraper mounting base. Of course, the scraper mounting base is not limited to this cantilever structure. When used in large-scale additive manufacturing equipment , Due to the larger structure of the scraper mounting seat, guide rails can be set on both sides of the scraper mounting seat to form an overhead structure. The drive device drives the scraper mounting seat to run on two guide rails. When the scraper mounting seat has a large structure, other The form of the arrangement improves the stability of the scraper mounting seat, which will not be repeated here; the side of the scraper mounting seat is provided with a meat-removing groove 22, which has a triangular cross-sectional structure. This structure ensures that the whole scraper mounting seat is Under the premise of structural strength, the weight of the scraper mounting seat is reduced, the material of the scraper mounting seat is reduced, and the cost is saved. Two powder spreading channels 3 penetrate from the inclined surface of the scraper mounting seat to the bottom, and the scraper is installed through this inclined surface. The seat and the powder supply device can form a good match, that is, the powder supply tank 8a and the powder spreading flow channel form a good connection, forming a closed flow channel, which can effectively reduce dust and improve powder spreading Effect. At the same time, the two powder spreading channels divide the scraper mounting seat into three parts, namely, the two parts located outside the two powder spreading channels and the part located in the middle of the two powder spreading channels. The three-part structure is in the vertical direction. Play the role of reinforcing ribs. Because the flow channel lining is vertically matched with the powder supply plate, the scraper mounting seat will receive a vertical force. This rib structure increases the strength of the scraper mounting seat in the vertical direction to prevent The scraper mounting seat deforms when subjected to a vertical force to avoid the deformation of the runner lining and the powder spreading flow path due to the deformation of the scraper mounting seat, which improves the stability and powder spreading effect. At the same time, the scraper mounting seat is The scraper provides a stable support to prevent the scraper from being deformed by force and affecting the scraping effect;
[0036] In use, by controlling the start and stop of the first motor 19, the sliding stroke of the scraper mounting seat can be precisely controlled. When the scraper mounting seat spreads powder from left to right, the powder spreading channel on the right side of the scraper performs powder spreading operation. The scraper located on the rear side of the sliding direction performs the scraping operation. When it is laid to the rightmost side, the powder stored in the powder supply channel just falls out. At this time, the powder flow channel on the left side of the scraper and the powder supply of the powder supply device on the right The grooves are docked, and the powder feeding device on the right side realizes the powder feeding operation on the powder spreading channel located on the left side of the scraper. Part of the powder flows to the bottom of the working cabin to form accumulation and the bottom of the powder spreading channel is blocked, making the powder stored in the powder spread In the flow channel, the position of powder accumulation is preferably set at the side of the forming channel to avoid the influence of powder accumulation on the powder laying on the forming table. When the scraper mounting seat slides from right to left, the powder spreading channel on the left is used for spreading operation At the same time, the scraper located on the back side of the sliding direction performs the scraping operation. When the powder is laid to the leftmost side, the powder stored in the powder supply channel just falls out. At this time, the powder flow channel on the right side of the scraper and the left powder supply device The powder supply tank is docked, and the powder supply device on the left side realizes the powder spreading flow channel on the right side of the scraper, and then the scraper mounting seat continues to realize the powder spreading operation from left to right, and proceed to the next powder spreading process. During the powdering process, it is always ensured that the powder spreading operation is performed in the powder spreading channel on the front side of the sliding direction of the scraper mounting seat, and the scraper is located on the rear side for the powder scraping operation. This is obvious to those skilled in the art and will not be repeated in detail; The powder spreading process realizes two-way powder spreading operation, which avoids empty strokes and improves powder spreading efficiency.
