Patent 201610986062.3 discloses a laser additive manufacturing forming method for titanium alloy thin-walled components. During the implementation of this method, the dependence on the inert atmosphere chamber is high, and the efficiency of inert gas filling and exhausting is low. The time for a suitable processing environment is longer, and the processing space is also limited by the volume of the inert cabin
Adding non-ferrous metals by laser direct metal deposition also requires the establishment of a small fixed inert gas protection box. The size of the deposited workpiece is limited by the inert gas protection box, making it difficult to achieve industrial applications
In addition, the patent 201711113696.9 proposes a laser additive manufacturing or remanufacturing conformal protection method. This method can save the inert gas cabin, is light and flexible, and is convenient for transportation. However, the protective cover used in this method has a large space filled with argon gas. The idea of ​​"light gas" driving out "heavy gas" is easily disturbed by the movement of external air during the fast movement process. The probability of oxygen and nitrogen in the air entering the molten pool is high, and it is difficult to ensure the stability of the inert atmosphere in the additive area. Sex, and the protective cover is not suitable for additive manufacturing of non-ferrous metals in underwater environments

Embodiment 1

[0028] Example 1: as Figure 1-3 As shown, the laser head 10 with a moving atmosphere chamber according to the present invention includes a cylindrical protective cover 100, a connecting surface 200 at the top of the protective cover 100, and a laser head whose one end passes through the connecting surface 200 and is sealed and fixed to the protective cover 100. The main body 300 and the optical fiber transmission module 400 connected to the main body of the laser head.

[0029]The bottom edge of the protective cover 100 expands outward to form a trumpet-shaped protective outer edge 130. The bottom edge of the protective outer edge is located on the same horizontal plane and is used for contacting the substrate 700. The upper end of the protective cover 100 is provided with an inertial opening on the outer wall surface of the protective cover. The gas inlet 110, the inert gas inlets are evenly distributed along the circumference of the outer wall of the protective cover, there...

Embodiment 2

[0033] Example 2: Laser additive non-ferrous metals in air using a laser head with a moving atmosphere chamber:

[0034] The first step: connect the laser head 10 containing the moving atmosphere chamber to the CNC machine tool equipment, and continuously introduce argon or helium with a purity of 99.999% as an inert gas through the inert gas inlet 110 set on the protective cover 100. The gas is sprayed from the outlet nozzle 121 through the second gas channel 120 to form an inert protective gas curtain, and at the same time, the inert gas is continuously introduced from the first gas channel 310 located on the main body 300 of the laser head, which can protect the molten pool from being oxidized and prevent the molten pool from being oxidized. The inert gas ejected from the head body and the inert gas ejected from the outlet nozzle together form an inert gas protective atmosphere 600 to establish a working environment for laser additive materials. Laser additive can be perfor...

Embodiment 3

[0038] Example 3: Underwater laser additive non-ferrous metals using a laser head with a moving atmosphere chamber:

[0039] Step 1: Add an outer cover 500 to the main body 300 of the laser head, fix the bottom end of the outer cover 500 to the connecting surface, connect the protective cover 100, the main body 300 of the laser head, and the outer cover 500 to the remote-controlled submersible, using the first step in Example 2 The method forms an inert gas protective atmosphere 600 .

[0040] Step 2: Put the above device into the designated water area, and the ROV adjusts the position through the push fans in different directions. Through the underwater camera system, the main body of the laser head 300 is vertically aligned with the area to be added. Before the ROV is launched, it is inert. The gas inlet 110 and the first gas channel 310 are continuously supplied with argon gas or helium gas, and gas is continuously supplied during the whole process of the additive process. ...
