Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal printing equipment technology, specifically to a low-stress metal 3D printing prototype. Background Technology

[0002] SLM (Selective Laser Melting) is a major technique in additive manufacturing of metal materials. This technology uses a laser as the energy source, scanning layer by layer through a bed of metal powder according to a pre-planned path in a 3D CAD slicing model. The scanned metal powder melts and solidifies, achieving a metallurgical bond and ultimately producing the designed metal part. SLM technology overcomes the challenges of manufacturing complex-shaped metal parts using traditional techniques. However, stress is generated during the printing process due to varying cooling rates. Existing stress relief methods and devices can only partially reduce stress in the metal part, not eliminate it, severely impacting the performance of the metal component. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0037] like Figures 1-5 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the prototype of the present invention; Figure 2 This is the main view of the printing module of the present invention; Figure 3 This is a top view of the printing module of the present invention; Figure 4 This is an isometric view of the printing module of the present invention; Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the laser module of the present invention;

[0038] This embodiment provides a low-stress metal 3D printing prototype, including a printer body 1. The printer body 1 includes a laser generating module 2, a control module 4, a printing module 6, and a lifting and filtering module 3. The control module 4 is installed at the top of the laser generating module 2, the lifting and filtering module 3 is located on the left side of the laser generating module 2, and the printing module 6 is located above the lifting and filtering module 3. This makes the metal 3D printing prototype compact in structure and adopts a modular design, which facilitates the disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of each module. The top and bottom of the printing module 6 are respectively provided with a laser module 201 and a total stress relief module 10. A planar stress relief module is provided at the bottom of the lifting and filtering module 3, thereby realizing the stress relief operation of the printed structure.

[0039] In one embodiment, there are five laser modules 201. The laser modules 201 are connected to the laser generating module 2 via optical cables. It can be understood that, since the focal plane of the laser in the polarization scanning system is a spherical plane with the laser module 201 as the center, three-dimensional dynamic focusing technology is usually used to compensate for the laser scanning focusing error. By distributing four of the five laser modules 201 in a ring around one of them, with each of the four laser modules 201 spaced 90 degrees apart, the optical path difference of the main printing area covered by each laser module 201 is reduced, thereby improving the accuracy of the laser three-dimensional dynamic focusing system and improving the printing quality.

[0040] In one embodiment, the printing module 6 includes front, rear, top, bottom, and left and right end plates with adjacent surfaces perpendicular to each other. Slide grooves 604 are provided on the opposite surfaces of the front and rear end plates 602. A powder-spreading module 12 is provided at the top of the bottom end plate 605, and the powder-spreading module 12 slides in cooperation with the slide grooves 604. An air inlet and an air outlet 603 are also provided on the opposite surfaces of the front and rear end plates 602, and the air inlet and air outlet 603 are connected to the lifting and filtering module 3. A feeding module 11 is provided on one side of the left end plate 601, and the feeding module 11 cooperates with the powder-spreading module 12. The inlet of the feeding module 11 is connected to the lifting and filtering module 3. A heat dissipation assembly connected to the lifting and filtering module 3 is provided at the top of the support platform 606.

[0041] Understandably, the feeding module 11 delivers the metal powder to the powder spreading module 12, which spreads the powder evenly on the bottom plate 605. Then, the laser module 201 heats and melts the metal powder. The lifting and filtering module 3 then blows inert gas into the printing module 6 through the air inlet, blowing away the fumes generated when the metal powder melts. The gas then enters the lifting and filtering module 3 through the air outlet 603 for filtration, allowing the powder to be recycled. The gas is then discharged after being treated harmlessly by the treatment module.

[0042] like Figure 6-9 As shown, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the Z-axis stress relief module of the present invention; Figure 7 This is an isometric view of the Z-axis stress relief module of the present invention; Figure 8 This is a diagram of the internal structure of the Z-axis stress relief module of the present invention; Figure 9 This is a cross-sectional view of the Z-axis stress relief module of the present invention;

[0043] In one embodiment, the total stress relief module 10 is detachably connected to the powder spreading module 12. The total stress relief module 10 includes a vibration seat 102, which has a hollow structure. A waveguide rod 107 with a honeycomb structure is provided at the center of the top of the vibration seat 102. An ultrasonic transducer 106 is provided at the top of the waveguide rod 107. A heat dissipation module 105 is provided circumferentially on the outside of the ultrasonic transducer 106. The heat dissipation module 105 is connected to the lifting filter module 3. A protective shell 104 is provided on the outside of the heat dissipation module 105. A protective shell 101 that wraps the ultrasonic transducer 106 is provided at the top of the vibration seat 102. A valve 103 is provided at the top of the protective shell 104.

[0044] Understandably, the vibration seat 102 is detachably fixed to the bottom plate 605. After the printed component is completed, the ultrasonic transducer 106 converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, and then the isomorphic waveguide 107 transmits the vibration to the printed component to perform stress relief work on the printed component. This causes the printed component to generate ultrasonic resonance under the action of the ultrasonic transducer 106, resulting in microscopic deformation inside the component and eliminating the internal residual stress caused by heat cooling.

[0045] like Figure 10-13 As shown, Figure 10 This is an isometric view of the X and Y axis stress relief module of the present invention; Figure 11 This is a bottom view of the X and Y axis stress relief module of the present invention; Figure 12 This is a partial enlarged view of the X and Y axis stress relief module of the present invention; Figure 13 This is a cross-sectional view of the X and Y axis stress relief module of the present invention;

[0046] In one embodiment, the bottom plate 605 includes a slidingly fitted frame and a pressure plate 607. A plane stress relief module is provided at the bottom end of the pressure plate 607. The plane stress relief module includes a vibration frame 608 with a concave cross-section. The vibration frame 608 is screwed to the pressure plate 607. A counterweight 611 is screwed to the middle of the vibration frame 608. A support platform 606 is provided between the counterweight 611 and the vibration frame 608. An X-axis stress relief module 610 and a Y-axis stress relief module 609 with identical structures are screwed to adjacent sides of the counterweight 611. Both the X-axis stress relief module 610 and the Y-axis stress relief module include a screwed-in counterweight 609. The connecting plate 612 on the end face of the weight 611 is provided with a planar waveguide 613. The planar waveguide 613 is perpendicular to the connecting plate. A planar ultrasonic transducer 616 is provided on the planar waveguide 613 away from the connecting plate. A spiral heat dissipation pipe 617 is provided circumferentially on the outside of the planar ultrasonic transducer 616. A heat insulation shell 614 is provided outside the heat insulation shell 617. A coolant pipe 618 is provided outside the heat insulation shell 614. The heat dissipation pipe 617 is connected to the heat dissipation assembly through a multi-way valve. A base 615 is provided on the end of the planar ultrasonic transducer 616 near the vibrating frame 608. The base 615 is screwed to the inner side of the vibrating frame 608.

[0047] Understandably, after the metal powder in each layer melts during the operation of the laser module 201, the control module 4 controls the X-axis stress relief module 610 and the Y-axis stress relief module 609 to work. Since they are fixedly connected to the bottom plate 605 through the vibration frame 608, the X-axis stress relief module 610 and the Y-axis stress relief module 609 convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. Through vibration, the X-axis stress relief module 610, the Y-axis stress relief module 609 and the bottom plate 605 together generate ultrasonic resonance, causing microscopic deformation inside the component and eliminating residual stress inside the metal component.

[0048] like Figure 14-17 As shown, Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram of the lifting module of the present invention; Figure 15 This is an isometric view of the lifting module of the present invention; Figure 16 This is a schematic diagram of the cooling pipe of the present invention; Figure 17 This is a cross-sectional view of the cooling pipe of the present invention.

[0049] In one embodiment, the lifting filter module 3 includes a lifting module 7 and a metal powder filter module. An auxiliary lifting module 704 is provided at the top of the pressure plate 607. The auxiliary lifting module 704 includes a hollow lifting frame. A series of miniature lifting columns are provided at the bottom of the lifting frame. A miniature heat pipe 8 is provided at the top of the miniature lifting column. The miniature heat pipe 8 is connected to the heat dissipation assembly through a multi-way valve. The top of the lifting frame is provided with multiple micro-holes that slide with the miniature heat pipe 8. A powder collection mechanism is provided on both sides of the lifting frame. The powder collection mechanism includes an air blowing tube bundle and a recovery tube bundle. An air inlet 705 and a recovery outlet are provided on the air blowing tube bundle and the recovery tube bundle, respectively. Through holes that cooperate with the powder collection mechanism are opened on the side plates of the lifting frame, which are not shown in the figure.

[0050] Understandably, the micro heat pipe 8 extends out of the lifting frame during printing to support the printed component. After printing one layer, the micro heat pipe 8 corresponding to the next layer pattern is lowered, while the positions of the other micro heat pipes 8 remain unchanged. This ensures that the micro heat pipe 8 is always in close contact with the printed component during printing, improving the cooling effect of the printed component. Inert gas is sent into the lifting frame through the air inlet via the metal powder filter module, blowing out the powder that falls into the lifting frame. The powder is then processed by the metal powder filter module and sent back into the feeding module 11.

[0051] In one embodiment, a main lifting module 701 is screwed to the left and right sides of the pressure plate 607. A mounting frame 706 is provided at the bottom of the main lifting module 701 and installed on the top of the filter module. A liquid collection tank 707 and a gas collection tank 710 are provided on the mounting frame 706. The liquid collection tank 707 is connected to the heat dissipation assembly through a liquid collection pipe 702. A micro liquid pump 708 is provided at the bottom of the liquid collection tank 707. The liquid inlet of the micro liquid pump 708 is connected to the liquid collection tank 707. The outlet of the micro liquid pump 708 is connected to the micro heat pipe 8 and the heat dissipation pipe 617 through a pipe. A micro air pump 709 is provided at the bottom of the gas collection tank 710. The air inlet of the micro air pump 709 is connected to the micro heat pipe 8 and the heat dissipation pipe 617 through a pipe. The gas collection tank 710 is connected to the heat dissipation assembly through an air supply pipe 703.

[0052] The micro heat pipe 8 includes a coaxial outer tube 801 and an inner tube 803. The top end of the outer tube 801 is provided with a horizontal plate, and the top end of the inner tube 803 is provided with a pipe opening, so that the inner tube 803 and the outer tube 801 are connected. The outer tube 801 and the inner tube 803 are fixedly connected by a connecting plate 802. A micro heat pipe one-way valve 9 connected to a multi-way valve is provided at one end of the micro heat pipe 8.

[0053] The miniature heat pipe single-way valve 9 includes an inner valve body 904 and an outer valve body 901. The inner valve body 904 and the outer valve body 901 are respectively sealed to the inner tube 803 and the outer tube 801. The area enclosed by the inner valve body 904 forms an inner pipe 905. The inner pipe 905 is connected to the inner tube 803. The inner valve body 904 and the outer valve body 901 are fixedly connected by a valve body 902. A through hole 903 is provided on the valve body 902.

[0054] It is understandable that heat is transferred from the printing component to the coolant inside the micro heat pipe 8 through the micro heat pipe 8 close to the printing component. That is, in the micro heat pipe 8 in the printing module 6, the coolant flows through the channel between the outer pipe 801 and the inner pipe 803. The coolant is heated and vaporized into gas. Then, under the action of the micro air pump 709, the gaseous coolant is transported through the inner pipe 803 to the gas collection box 710. The gaseous coolant enters the heat dissipation assembly along the gas delivery pipe 703, cools down, and then re-condenses into liquid. It is then sent into the liquid collection box 707 along the liquid collection pipe 702. The liquid coolant in the liquid collection box 707 is sent through the micro liquid pump 708 and the multi-way valve into the micro heat pipe 8 of the lifting frame and the heat dissipation pipe 617 of the plane stress relief mold. Then, it is sent into the micro heat pipe through the micro heat pipe single-way valve 9, and then the cycle continues.

[0055] The heat dissipation assembly includes a honeycomb-shaped cluster heat pipe, the structure of which is the same as that of the micro heat pipe 8. It also includes a cooling fan located on one side of the cluster heat pipe, and an observation port is provided on the front end plate of the printing module 6.

[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
