Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of mechanical vibration technology of exciter which can achieve 1200Hz and amplitude of 5μm to 50μm, in particular to the design of cylinder based on random falling of steel ball and the design of special-shaped spring with high natural frequency. BACKGROUND

[0002] Laser cladding is a commonly used additive remanufacturing technology, which has good formability, dense structure, grain refinement, and small heat-affected zone, and is widely used in additive manufacturing and remanufacturing of parts, surface strengthening. However, due to the large temperature gradient and fast solidification of the molten pool, it will lead to uneven distribution of elements and hard phase additives, difficulty in gas discharge and large residual stress, etc., which reduces the performance of the cladding layer. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the process to optimize the performance of the cladding layer according to the causes of the defects of the cladding layer.

[0003] It has been proved that introducing mechanical vibration into casting or welding process is an effective auxiliary process to break up dendrites, refine grains, stir the molten pool, promote the uniform distribution of elements and hard phases, and gas discharge, and significantly improve the performance of the workpiece. Since the solidification rate of laser cladding can be as high as 10 6 ℃ / s, and the molten pool is generally less than 2mm, the existing mechanical vibrator cannot produce high enough frequency and low enough amplitude without affecting the surface morphology of the cladding layer during the laser cladding process, so there is an urgent need for high-frequency micro-amplitude exciter above 800Hz and amplitude of 5μm to 50μm in engineering. The present application is designed with 1200Hz as the parameter, which can achieve the expected purpose after calculation.

[0004] At present, among several commonly used types of mechanical vibration exciters, there are characteristics that are not suitable for laser cladding process: eccentric and centrifugal mechanical vibration structure is simple but low frequency and large waveform distortion;

[0005] Electro-hydraulic type has large amplitude but narrow frequency range (100-150Hz);

[0006] Hydraulic and pneumatic type has small amplitude and frequency;

[0007] Electromagnetic and magnetostrictive type has high frequency (up to 10000Hz) and small amplitude (≤50μm) but is only suitable for small mass and size workpieces.

[0008] In addition, the current mechanical vibration exciter needs to fix the workpiece on the working plane of the exciter, which is difficult to use for the surface of the rotary body under the condition of circumferential cladding requiring mechanical vibration assisted cladding.

[0009] Therefore, developing high-frequency micro-amplitude mechanical vibration exciter for laser cladding of medium and large rotary parts is beneficial to improve the performance of laser cladding coating of rotary body. SUMMARY

[0077] Calculation feasibility

[0078] The steel balls in the cylinder undergo the process of separating from the inner wall of the cylinder, rolling on the partition plate, falling and colliding.

[0079] Steel ball in the cylinder, will along with the rotation of the cylinder to a certain height, will be along the partition plate rolling or sliding a certain distance, in the end of the partition plate with a certain speed to throw and impact the inner wall of the cylinder. In the process of force analysis of steel ball, it is assumed that there is no relative sliding between steel ball and the inner wall of the cylinder in the process of rising, and the friction between steel balls is ignored. When the steel ball reaches a certain position, it will move relative to the partition plate and the contact force with the inner wall of the cylinder is zero, it is assumed that the angle between the partition plate plane and the horizontal plane is α i , the angle between the centrifugal force direction of the i-th steel ball and the partition plate plane is θ i , the force analysis of steel ball, steel ball is subjected to gravity G, centrifugal force F, support force N of partition plate and friction force f N , support force N of adjacent steel ball b , the radius of the inner wall of the cylinder is R, the length is L, the angular velocity is ω, the radius of the steel ball is r, the mass is m b , the number is n b , the angle between the longitudinal symmetry line of the partition plate and the axis of the cylinder is The thickness of the partition plate is t, the width is w, and the friction coefficient is μ. The mechanical decomposition of the force of the steel ball along the long side of the partition plate downward, along the short side of the partition plate to the center of the cylinder and perpendicular to the partition plate plane is carried out, which is called "partition plate coordinate system". In Z direction, the steel ball has force balance, so only the force conditions in X and Y directions are analyzed:

[0080]

[0081] The angle α between the partition plate plane and the horizontal plane can be solved: i

[0082]

[0083] When the steel ball reaches the position where the contact force with the inner wall of the cylinder is zero, it will begin to roll along with the rotation of the cylinder, but since the width of the partition plate is only slightly larger than the radius of the steel ball, the steel ball will be thrown after rolling a short distance without sliding stage. In addition, the component velocity of the steel ball in the X axis of the partition plate coordinate system is large, the resultant force in the X axis is greater than that in the Z axis, the rolling distance is short, so the steel ball will not be subjected to the force of adjacent steel ball after rolling, and the friction force is approximately in the X axis direction. Let s be the displacement of the steel ball along the X direction of the partition plate coordinate system, the mechanical analysis is as follows:

[0084]

[0085] Based on the principle of pure rolling:

[0086]

[0087] Substitute the boundary conditions to solve the differential equation, Taylor expand and simplify the differential equation,

[0088]

[0089] Rolling distance s of the steel ball i Substitute to obtain rolling time t r Further, the position and speed of the steel ball when falling are obtained, the parabolic equation of the steel ball is obtained, the falling height and the speed v at the falling point are obtained in combination with the profile equation of the cylinder b And momentum, assuming that the collision time of the steel ball with the cylinder wall is 0.002s, using the impulse theorem, the collision force F exerted by the steel ball on the cylinder wall is known p . Set the spring stiffness k spr , then the displacement caused by one steel ball The output frequency f of one cylinder = n b 10 cylinders can output a frequency of 10f.

[0090] In Figure 1 , the spring top under the action of vertical force F, the linear displacement f of the force point in the vertical direction is obtained by applying Mohr integral y , so as to calculate the spring stiffness, and further to obtain the natural frequency of the spring reaches 1200Hz or more, which meets the use requirement of the exciter.

[0091] The above only details the preferred embodiment of the present application, but the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, various changes can be made within the knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the purpose of the present application, and various changes shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
