Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of laser additive manufacturing, and in particular to a tuyere design method, system, device and medium for a laser selective melting device. Background Art
[0002] Additive manufacturing technology is a processing technology that prints materials layer by layer through three-dimensional digital modeling. Among them, powder bed 3D printing technology is one of the more mature and main 3D printing forming technologies. During processing, a layer of material powder is evenly spread on the processing plane, and the control system controls the laser to output laser, and the laser is concentrated on the powder layer through the galvanometer to scan the processing pattern. The scanned powder is melted and solidified into a solid together with the parts under the powder layer. Through the continuous melting, solidification and superposition of layers of powder, it is finally formed into the desired product.
[0003] The inert gas circulation during the printing process prevents the molten metal from oxidizing. At the same time, the airflow above the powder bed can remove the by-products produced during the printing process from the powder bed to avoid pollution that affects the printing quality. With the demand for manufacturing large aerospace parts such as rockets and aircraft, large-scale laser selective melting equipment (SLM equipment) directly forming large components is the current development direction of the SLM field. The increase in format and the increase in the number of lasers will pose challenges to the design of the air outlet. The traditional manifold design is difficult to control the uniformity of the air outlet of large-scale SLM equipment. Uneven air outlets need to be redesigned, resulting in material waste and increased trial and error costs. Summary of the invention

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for designing an air outlet of a laser selective melting device based on the principle of static pressure air supply, comprising the following steps:
[0066] S1. Dimension planning: Design reasonable length, width and height of the tuyere according to the molding format that the laser selective melting device needs to meet. Design the tuyere size provided by the laser selective melting device with different molding formats, and leave processing allowance.
[0067] S2. Internal structural division of the air outlet: Design the initial air flow channel width according to the size of the air inlet duct, and then design the guide area and static pressure area; as well as the thickness of the straightened porous mesh plate.
[0068] Specifically, the width of the porous mesh plate is not less than 10 mm, and the initial width of the air flow channel is the same as the diameter of the air inlet duct.
[0069] S3. Calculate friction resistance, local resistance, and flow conservation equation. Calculate friction resistance: Obtain the friction resistance coefficient by consulting, and obtain the equivalent diameter from the average diameter of the two sections of the main channel. The resistance loss along the two sections can be obtained from the equivalent diameter, the average velocity of the gas in the main channel, and the gas density; According to the flow conservation equation: To make the static pressure of two adjacent sections constant, the dynamic pressure reduction between the two adjacent sections is equal to the calculated resistance loss along the way; Calculate the wind speed of the main channel at the next section position from the section dynamic pressure difference, calculate the height of the current main channel from the flow rate and the height of the wind channel, and then obtain the main channel shape of the wind channel.
[0070] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 Specifically, the fan delivers air through the circulation duct at a certain frequency, passes through the inside of the vent, and is discharged from the holes of the slit air outlet grille. The flow rate Q generated by the fan in the duct is set by the set wind speed outflow angle α (α ≥ 60°), and the theoretical outflow velocity v k Calculate the outlet area f0 and select the appropriate orifice area and quantity according to the air outlet size. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0071]
[0072]
[0073] The local resistance loss of the air duct can be simplified as:
[0074]
[0075] Therefore, the calculation formula for the flow velocity in the inner channel of section i+1 is:
[0076]
[0077] Calculate the main channel width, specifically: Calculate based on the calculated gas flow velocity at the flow channel in the fracture:
[0078] Cross-sectional area:
[0079]
[0080] Duct width:
[0081]
[0082] S i+1 is the area of the i+1th section, w i+1 is the height of the i+1th node.
[0083] By analogy, the width of each orifice section is calculated one by one, and then the structure of the specific main channel is generated, such as Figure 4 shown.
[0084] S4. Simulation verification: Use computational fluid simulation software to set the inlet flow rate and outlet pressure, and use the k-ε turbulence model for simulation. Place fine-tuning guide plate correction: According to the simulation results, locally design the guide plate for correction and then simulate again. FDM prints the air outlet.
[0085] Computational fluid simulation (CFD) large-format wind field. Specifically, the designed tuyere is assembled into the molding chamber of the equipment. Solidworks flow simulation software is used to define the inlet flow value and the outlet static pressure as 1 atmosphere. The grid is automatically divided to a density less than the orifice. The k-ε turbulence model is used for fluid simulation. The contour wind speed distribution map of the horizontal surface of the substrate is intercepted to view the wind field distribution. For uneven air outlets, a fine-tuning drainage plate is added inside the tuyere. The simulation steps are repeated until the results show uniform air outlet. Finally, FDM is used to print the tuyere and the assembly is put into the laser selective melting equipment for production.
[0086] In some optional embodiments, the uniformity of the air outlet is determined based on the plane contour wind speed diagram obtained by computational fluid simulation, and a guide plate is provided in the inner flow channel at a local uneven location so that the protective gas tends to be sprayed out evenly.
[0087] Using the k-ε turbulence model, the turbulent kinetic energy equation is:
[0088]
[0089] Energy dissipation equation:
[0090]
[0091] G k is the turbulent kinetic energy generated by the average velocity gradient; G b Turbulence dynamics caused by buoyancy; C 1ε , C2, C 3ε is a constant; k is the turbulent Prandtl constant of k; γ M is the effect of turbulent expansion in compressible turbulence on the total dissipation rate; ρ is the density of argon; u i is the gas velocity, x i is the position vector; t is the time step; μ is the molecular viscosity of the fluid; μ t is the turbulent viscosity; S k and S ε is a user-defined source term.
[0092] In summary, compared with the existing laser selective melting tuyere design method, the method of this embodiment can meet the design of uniform tuyere for large-size laser selective melting equipment while saving costs, ensure the uniformity of airflow ejection, and improve the removal rate of splashing smoke and dust.
