TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of wire friction stir additive manufacturing, and particularly relates to a variable radius wire cutting tool type hollow feeding wire friction stir additive manufacturing equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] Manufacturing aircraft structural components with high-performance materials is one of the important ways to reduce the weight of aircraft, improve the carrying capacity and flight speed. Wire friction stir additive manufacturing technology is a new manufacturing method with unique advantages. This technology uses the friction heat effect to make metal wires uniformly deposit in a thermoplastic state, forming high-quality whole large-size components. Compared with traditional manufacturing methods, wire friction stir additive manufacturing technology not only has high material utilization rate, but also can meet the production needs of personalized parts, and is suitable for complex shape and high strength requirement parts. Wire friction stir additive manufacturing technology precisely controls the temperature and pressure during the deposition process, making the bonding between the deposited layers more compact, and improving the mechanical properties of the components. Compared with laser, electron beam and electric arc energy deposition additive manufacturing technologies, wire friction stir additive manufacturing technology has higher material utilization rate and better structural performance, and is becoming an important technology in the field of aerospace.

[0003] As a new high-efficiency additive manufacturing method, wire friction stir additive manufacturing technology has shown great potential in the field of high-performance metal part manufacturing in recent years. This technology uses the friction heat effect to deposit metal wires layer by layer in a solid state, forming complex shape and high-quality whole large-size components. Wire friction stir additive manufacturing technology does not require high-energy heat sources and gas protection, and can use various specifications of metal wires. By precisely controlling the movement of the stirring pressure head and heat input, the material flows and connects in a solid state, avoiding defects such as thermal cracks and pores in the melting process. This technology is particularly suitable for manufacturing or repairing key components with high strength and high performance requirements, such as titanium alloy frame structures, nickel-based high-temperature alloy rocket combustion chambers and high-strength aluminum alloy heavy-lift launch vehicle connecting rings.

[0004] The existing wire stirring friction additive equipment includes a connecting seat plate, a wire feeding device, a driving motor, an additive outer shell, an additive spindle, a stirring pressure head and a pressure head sleeve; the wire feeding device, the driving motor and the additive outer shell are fixedly installed on the connecting seat plate, the additive spindle is freely rotatably installed in the additive outer shell, the output shaft of the driving motor is connected with the additive spindle through a transmission device to drive the rotation of the additive spindle; the stirring pressure head is fixedly installed at the lower end of the additive spindle, the pressure head sleeve is sleeved on the outside of the stirring pressure head (gap) in cooperation with the stirring pressure head, and is fixedly connected with the additive outer shell, a spiral groove is arranged on the outside of the stirring pressure head, a wire inlet hole matched with the spiral groove is arranged on the pressure head sleeve, and a wire feeding sleeve is installed on the wire inlet hole. When working, the connecting seat plate is installed on the driving device, the wire feeding device inputs the metal wire into the pressure head sleeve through the wire feeding sleeve, the driving motor drives the additive spindle to rotate through the transmission device, and drives the stirring pressure head to rotate; when the spiral groove on the outside of the stirring pressure head is opposite to the wire inlet hole, the metal wire is pressed into the spiral groove, the stirring pressure head continues to rotate, and the metal wire in the spiral groove is cut into additive particles through the shearing action of the edge of the spiral groove and the edge of the wire inlet hole, the additive particles fall along the spiral groove to the additive working plane on the lower side of the stirring pressure head, and plastic deformation is generated under the combined stirring and friction action of the convex points on the stirring pressure head and the lower end face of the stirring pressure head, and is finally formed on the additive surface; the driving device drives the connecting seat plate to move through program control, the structure deposition of points, lines and surfaces can be completed, and then related parts can be manufactured or repaired. The existing wire stirring friction additive equipment adopts bottom (stirring pressure head) wire feeding, the wire feeding sleeve occupies a larger space on the outside of the stirring pressure head, cannot work in a smaller space, and limits the application of the wire stirring friction additive in the manufacturing and repairing field of complex components; the metal wire output by the wire feeding device cannot continuously enter the wire inlet hole, only when the spiral groove is opposite to the wire inlet hole, the metal wire can enter the spiral groove from the wire inlet hole in a short time, in order to meet the feeding requirement, the rotating speed of the stirring pressure head is low, and the additive efficiency is low; due to the small distance between the wire inlet hole and the additive surface, the gap between the stirring pressure head and the pressure head sleeve allows the hot plasticized alloy material to move upward, causes the blocking of the wire feeding hole, affects the speed of the metal wire entering the spiral groove from the wire inlet hole, and makes it difficult to control the additive process.
