[0074] A distributor driving cylinder 311 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the equipment box 1. The distributor driving cylinder 311 is electrically connected to the servo controller through a solenoid valve. The distributor driving cylinder 311 includes a driving gas rod 312, one end of which is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting plate 310.
[0075] When in use, the servo controller automatically controls the on and off of the solenoid valve on the distributor drive cylinder 311, controls the drive air rod 312 to extend from or retract into the distributor drive cylinder 311, drives the connecting plate 310 and the linear drive slider 309 to move along the surface of the linear guide rail 308, drives the guide slide 302 and one of the metal powder distributors 303 to move along the surface of the sealed guide slide 3, drives one of the drive racks 307 to move, the drive gear movement drives the transmission gear 306 to rotate, the transmission gear 306 drives the other drive rack 307 to move in the opposite direction, and drives the other metal powder distributor 303 to move in the opposite direction.
[0076] The working principle of the laser cladding equipment is: the laser cladding three-axis moving mechanism drives the laser 224 to move in the X, Y and Z axis directions, and laser melts the metal ceramic material in the metal powder bed 301 to prepare a CNC tool.
[0077] Specifically, the servo controller automatically controls the forward and reverse movement of the module drive motor 2072, and the module drive motor 2072 drives the screw inside the linear screw module 207 to rotate, drives the linear moving component 2071 to move linearly, and drives the drive frame 208, the movable support frame 2 and the laser 224 to move longitudinally on the upper surface of the equipment box 1.

[0080] Metal ceramic material is laid on two metal powder beds 301 on the equipment box 1 through a double-station powder laying mechanism. When the three-axis moving mechanism drives the laser 224 to perform laser melting on one of the metal powder beds 301, the metal powder distributor 303 on the other metal powder bed 301 distributes metal ceramic powder to it. After the distribution is completed, the metal powder distributor 303 is bonded to the metal powder bed 301, and also has the effect of keeping the distributed metal ceramic powder warm.
[0081] After the laser 224 performs laser melting operation on the metal ceramic material inside one of the metal powder beds 301, it moves to the metal powder bed 301 that is bonded to the metal powder distributor 303. At the same time, the servo controller automatically controls the on and off of the solenoid valve on the distributor drive cylinder 311, controls the drive air rod 312 to extend from or retract into the distributor drive cylinder 311, drives the connecting plate 310 and the linear drive slider 309 to move along the surface of the linear guide rail 308, drives the guide slide 302 and the guide slide 309 to move along the surface of the linear guide rail 308, and drives the guide slide 302 and the guide slide 309 to move along the surface of the linear guide rail 308. A metal powder feeder 303 moves along the surface of the sealed guide slide 3, driving one of the drive racks 307 to move, the drive gear movement drives the transmission gear 306 to rotate, the transmission gear 306 drives the other drive rack 307 to move in the opposite direction, driving the other metal powder feeder 303 to move in the opposite direction, thereby moving the metal powder feeder 303 on the metal powder bed 301 where the feeding is completed and separating from the metal powder bed 301, and the other metal powder feeder 303 moves to the metal powder bed 301 after laser melting for feeding.
[0082] This reduces the time that the laser 224 needs to wait for the internal bed plate of the metal powder bed 301 to move downward for adjustment and powder feeding during the CNC tool manufacturing process, thereby improving the efficiency of using the laser 224 for CNC tool melting and forming. After the CNC tool in a metal powder bed 301 is formed, by controlling the two metal powder feeders 303 to move to the middle position of the sealed guide slide 3, the laser 224 can be moved to the top of one metal powder bed 301 for laser melting while the CNC tool formed in another metal powder bed 301 is taken out. After taking it out, the metal powder inside the metal powder bed 301 is recovered and the bed plate of the metal powder bed 301 is reset, thereby further improving the efficiency of laser melting and forming of the CNC tool.
[0083] By setting up laser cladding equipment, in the process of preparing metal ceramic materials for CNC tools, laser cladding technology reduces material waste, reduces energy consumption, and has the effect of improving material performance compared to traditional processes.
[0084] By setting up a three-axis moving mechanism for laser cladding and a double-station powder laying mechanism, rapid melting and forming of metal ceramic materials and automatic powder laying are achieved in the process of preparing metal ceramic materials for CNC tools, and CNC tools with complex shapes can be prepared by laser melting, thus solving the problem that the existing ceramic materials are limited by the cold pressing process, resulting in large porosity, poor mechanical properties, low durability, and inability to produce CNC tools with complex shapes.
