Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of laser welding, and in particular to a device for precisely controlling heat during the laser welding process of heterogeneous additive parts. Background Art

[0002] Laser additive-welding integrated manufacturing technology combines the advantages of laser selective melting (SLM), laser metal deposition (LMD) and laser welding, which can effectively improve the structural processing accuracy and designability, reduce stress concentration and fatigue weak areas, and provide a new solution for the rapid manufacturing of complex structures; however, this process inevitably involves the welding of laser selective melting (SLM) structural parts and laser metal deposition (LMD) structural parts. The grains of LMD printed parts are coarse, and the grains of SLM printed parts are fine. The grain structure and performance of the welded joint are affected by the parent material structure, showing unevenness, which is difficult to meet service requirements. This application aims to propose a precise heat control device for the laser welding process of heterogeneous additive parts. Through the coordinated loading of external cooling medium / thermal field, the heat of the welding process can be effectively controlled, so as to achieve the purpose of homogenizing the microstructure and mechanical properties of the laser welded joints of heterogeneous additive printed parts.

[0003] In addition, it should be noted that in the prior art, when different materials of additive parts are welded, the temperature of laser welding is very high. Therefore, when the additive parts are welded, there are dimensional errors, which will cause the laser to continue to irradiate, and then directly melt through the welding table or even the welding body, thereby causing equipment damage; in addition, when some materials are printed, the temperature rises rapidly in a short period of time, causing the material to deform due to temperature changes, and then the welding accuracy is reduced, which may lead to unqualified material dimensions at the least, and even directly cause material waste in severe cases, thereby causing great economic losses to the company.

It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present invention, when the reset gear 607 rotates, the rotating frame 603 is driven to rotate through the rotating shaft 604, thereby synchronously driving the opening of the rotating baffle 602, and the rotating shaft 604 rotates in the rotating groove 605, and drives the rebound torsion spring 606 to be stressed, so when the laser welding head 4 is reset, the rebound force of the rebound torsion spring 606 helps the rotating shaft 604 to reset, thereby facilitating the reset of the rotating baffle 602; when the laser welding head 4 moves down for welding, the linkage socket 613 is inserted into the welding movable platform 506, so that when the laser welding head 4 moves, the welding movable platform 506 is driven to move synchronously.

[0063] For further information, please refer to the attached manual. Figure 8-10 , the embodiment of the present invention provides a heat precision control device for the laser welding process of heterogeneous additive parts, the support cleaning device 7 also includes two linkage frames 710, and the two linkage frames 710 are respectively installed on the top sides of the two open frames 701; in addition, two adjustment rotating rods 705 are rotatably installed on one side of the rotating baffle 602, and the two adjustment rotating rods 705 are rotatably installed with transfer shafts 706, and the two transfer shafts 706 are respectively movably installed in the two linkage frames 710. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present invention, when adjusting the distance between the two open frames 701, a synchronous gear 707 is rotated, so that the synchronous gear 707 drives the other synchronous gear 707 to rotate, and then drives the two adjustment rotating rods 705 to rotate, so that the two adjustment rotating rods 705 drive the two linkage frames 710 to move through the two transfer shafts 706, and the linkage frame 710 drives the open frame 701 to move, and the adjustment of the position of the open frame 701 is completed.

[0064] More specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the top ends of the two adjusting rotating rods 705 are both installed with synchronous gears 707, and the two synchronous gears 707 are meshed with each other; in addition, two gear shafts 708 are installed on one side of the rotating baffle 602, and the two synchronous gears 707 are respectively rotatably installed on the two gear shafts 708, and a locking nut 709 is threadedly installed on one gear shaft 708. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present invention, during welding, the distance between the two support frames 701 is adjusted according to the position of the weld, and at this time, one synchronous gear 707 is rotated so that the synchronous gear 707 drives the other synchronous gear 707 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the two synchronous gears 707 rotate on the two gear shafts 708. At this time, the two synchronous gears 707 drive the two adjusting rotating rods 705 to rotate, so that the position of the support frame 701 can be adjusted. After the adjustment is completed, the locking nut 709 is tightened to lock the synchronous gear 707, and the position of the support frame 701 can be fixed.

[0065] Please continue to refer to the instruction manual Figure 8-10 More specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, a return spring 703 is installed on the top side of the telescopic rod 702, and the top end of the return spring 703 is installed on the top inner wall of the open frame 701; an adjustment slot 704 is opened on the bottom side of the rotating baffle 602, and the open frame 701 is slidably installed in the adjustment slot 704. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present invention, when the open frame 701 moves, it slides horizontally in the adjustment slot 704, and when the open frame 701 is unfolded, the telescopic rod 702 contacts and is squeezed with the welding table 501, thereby causing the telescopic rod 702 to retract in the open frame 701 and causing the return spring 703 to be stressed.

[0066] In summary, the working principle of the heat precision control device for the laser welding process of heterogeneous additive parts provided by the embodiment of the present invention is:

[0067] The water-cooled copper block 504 is installed at the lower part of the LMD print 502 to achieve rapid cooling of the LMD print 502 during the welding process; the heating copper block 505 is installed at the lower part of the SLM print 503 to achieve heating of the SLM print 503 before, during and after the welding process; the shielding gas in the shielding gas bottle 511 is input into the shielding gas nozzle 507 through the shielding gas pipe 513, and the nitrogen in the liquid nitrogen bottle 510 is input into the cavity of the welding movable platform 506 at the same time, the shielding gas is cooled to achieve continuous cooling of the shielding gas, and the cooled shielding gas reaches the surface of the welding molten pool through the shielding gas nozzle 507 to achieve protection and cooling of the welding process, so as to achieve the purpose of grain refinement of the weld; in addition, when the welding movable platform 506 moves, one side of the SLM print 503 is heated by the rotation of the welding rotary rolling heating head 509, so as to achieve rotary rolling and heating of the weld at the rear end of the molten pool, so as to further achieve the purpose of coarsening the weld grain;

[0068] Furthermore, when the laser welding head 4 moves down for welding, the laser welding head 4 drives the socket 601 to move, so that the linkage socket 613 can be inserted into the welding movable platform 506, and the laser welding head 4 can drive the welding movable platform 506 to move through the linkage socket 613 to ensure continuous control of the weld temperature. At the same time, when the laser welding head 4 moves down, the two clamping wheels 609 respectively clamp the LMD print 502 and the SLM print 503 to prevent the LMD print 502 and the SLM print 503 from printing. The deformation problem occurs due to temperature change, and the clamping wheel 609 is forced to move and drive the clamping rack 608 to slide vertically in the limiting groove 610, so that the clamping rack 608 drives the reset gear 607 to rotate, and the reset gear 607 rotates to drive the rotating shaft 604 to rotate in the rotating groove 605, and the rebound torsion spring 606 is stressed. At the same time, the rotating shaft 604 rotates to drive the rotating frame 603 to rotate, so that the rotating frame 603 drives the rotating baffle 602 to rotate and open. At this time, the laser welding head 4 leaks out and welding can be performed;

[0069] Furthermore, when the laser welding head 4 continues to move and detaches from the printed part, the pressure wheel 609 loses pressure. At this time, under the rebound force of the rebound torsion spring 606, the rotating shaft 604 drives the rotating baffle 602 to return to its original position through the rotating frame 603, and then drives the closing plate 611 to close the laser welding head 4, so as to avoid damage to the welding table 501 caused by continuous laser irradiation. At the same time, when the closing plate 611 returns to its original position, it is squeezed by the laser welding head 4, so that the closing plate 611 moves on the rotating baffle 602, ensuring that the closing plate 611 can close the laser welding head 4, and can also avoid the problem of the laser welding head 4 being damaged by collision during loading and unloading of printed parts or other unexpected situations. In addition, the closing plate 611 is made of stone or other materials that are not easily cut by laser, so as to ensure that the safety of the welding table 501 is fully guaranteed when the laser is not closed to a limited extent.

[0070] Furthermore, during welding, the distance between the two support frames 701 is adjusted according to the position of the weld. At this time, one synchronous gear 707 is rotated, so that the synchronous gear 707 drives the other synchronous gear 707 to rotate in the opposite direction. The two synchronous gears 707 rotate on the two gear shafts 708. At this time, the two synchronous gears 707 drive the two adjusting rods 705 to rotate, so that the two adjusting rods 705 drive the two linkage frames 710 to move through the two transfer shafts 706, and the linkage frames 710 drive the support frames 701 to move. Complete the adjustment of the position of the support frame 701; after the adjustment is completed, tighten the locking nut 709 to fix the position of the support frame 701, and when the rotating baffle 602 is unfolded, the two support frames 701 respectively drive the two telescopic rods 702 to contact the sides of the two printed parts, thereby supporting the weld and avoiding the problem of weld size changes caused by deformation of the printed parts. At the same time, when the rotating baffle 602 moves, it drives the support frame 701 and the telescopic rod 702 to move, so that the sides of the two printed parts can be cleaned, thereby ensuring the quality of welding.

[0071] The above are only preferred specific implementation modes of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical solutions and inventive concepts of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
