[0040] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] See also Figure 1-Figure 10 , the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0043] A feeding material preparation device for metal powder injection molding, comprising:

[0044] Fixed ring 1;

[0045] A connecting plate 6, the connecting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixing ring 1;

[0046] A solution output pipe 7, the solution output pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting plate 6;

[0047] Atomization mechanism, the atomization mechanism is provided with multiple groups, each group of atomization mechanisms includes an airflow output pipe 2, a first nozzle 3, a limiting slide groove 4, a limiting slider 5, a diverter pipe 8, an external expansion plate 9, an air inlet 10 and a second nozzle 11. The airflow output pipe 2 is arranged on the upper side of the fixed ring 1, the first nozzle 3 is arranged at the output end of the airflow output pipe 2, the limiting slide groove 4 is opened at the lower end of the airflow output pipe 2, the limiting slider 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed ring 1, the limiting slider 5 slides in the limiting slide groove 4, the diverter pipe 8 is arranged at the lower end of the airflow output pipe 2, the external expansion plate 9 is arranged on the lower side of the fixed ring 1, the air inlet 10 is opened at the upper end of the fixed ring 1, the lower end of the diverter pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the air inlet 10, the second nozzle 11 is opened at one side end of the external expansion plate 9, and the second nozzle 11 is connected to the air inlet 10.

[0048] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the fixed ring 1 provides support for the atomizing mechanism. When the metal powder is produced by the atomizing method, the fixed ring 1 remains fixed. The fixed ring 1 is supported on the lower end of the solution output pipe 7 by the connecting plate 6. The solution output pipe 7 is connected to the discharge port of the molten metal tank. The molten metal liquid is poured out from the solution output pipe 7. During the falling process, it is impacted into metal powder by the atomizing mechanism. The airflow output pipe 2 is a drainage pipe for the impact airflow. The impact airflow is ejected from the first nozzle 3. The opening of the first nozzle 3 is inclined downward, and the opening position is parallel to the lower end of the solution output pipe 7. When the coarse powder is produced, multiple outer expansion plates 9 fit each other. The opening of the second nozzle 11 is blocked, and the airflow outlets of the multiple first nozzles 3 do not overlap with the center of the solution output pipe 7 to reduce the shear force of the impact airflow on the metal solution. When the metal solution falls, since the second nozzle 11 is blocked, only the first nozzle 3 has an impact airflow to control the molding size of the metal powder. At this time, the metal powder molding particles are coarser. When the coarse powder is subjected to powder injection molding, the larger particles have a lower cost, and the injection pressure can be reduced during the injection process to reduce the equipment load. When it is necessary to prepare finer metal powder, the output power of the impact air pressure pump is enhanced to ensure the impact strength of the double air holes. , and start the driving device to pull the multiple connecting grooves 21 backwards, the middle position of the airflow output pipe 2 is limited by the limiting slider 5, and the limiting slider 5 slides in the limiting slide groove 4 to provide a rotation space for the airflow output pipe 2, the rear end of the airflow output pipe 2 is rotated and the middle is fixed, so that the output direction of the multiple first nozzles 3 is changed, and the gas outlet direction of the multiple first nozzles 3 is aligned with the center of the circle at the lower end of the solution output pipe 7. At this time, the shear force of the multiple impact airflows on the metal solution is greater, and the metal particles can be further refined. The diverter pipe 8 is arranged at the lower end of the airflow output pipe 2, which is the second gas outlet of the airflow output pipe 2. When the driving device When the rear end of the airflow output pipe 2 is driven to rotate, one side end of the multiple expansion plates 9 is also rotated, thereby expanding the multiple expansion plates 9 in a circular manner. At this time, the expansion plates 9 that block the multiple second nozzles 11 slide to the other side of the second nozzles 11 due to the expansion, and then the second nozzles 11 are opened. The multiple second nozzles 11 form a second impact airflow at the lower end of the first nozzle 3. While increasing the shear force of the first impact airflow, the metal solution is subjected to a second refinement impact. The metal powder produced at this time has better fluidity during metal injection molding, which helps to fill complex mold cavities during the injection process and reduce the occurrence of defects.

[0049] For details, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 10 The output ports of the plurality of first nozzles 3 are inclined downward, and the openings of the plurality of second nozzles 11 are blocked by the plurality of external expansion plates 9 respectively.

[0050] In the present embodiment: the openings of the plurality of first nozzles 3 are inclined downward, and the impact force of the airflow on the metal solution when it flows out is also inclined downward. While refining multiple metals, the formed metal powder is ensured to flow downward to avoid the powder being retained at the air outlet of the first nozzle 3. When preparing coarse metal powder, the second nozzle 11 is blocked by the outer expansion plate 9 and no second impact airflow is formed. When preparing fine metal powder, the second nozzle 11 is opened to form a second impact airflow. The impact of the double impact airflow can further refine the larger particles produced in the first impact airflow, and the effect is better than the refinement effect of the high-pressure single impact airflow.

A gear ring 14 is provided at the upper end of the bottom plate 13, and the driving mechanism drives the rotating ring 12 to rotate through the gear ring 14. The middle part of the rotating ring 12 is fixed to the fixed ring 1, and the rear end is fixed to the rotating ring 12.

When the rotating ring 12 rotates, one side of the outward expansion plate 9 is fixed by the fixed shaft block 19, and the middle part is pulled backward by the movable shaft block 20, so that multiple outward expansion plates 9 are fitted together and expanded outward. While the circumference formed by the multiple outward expansion plates 9 is expanding outward, the second nozzle 11 whose opening is blocked by the outward expansion plate 9 is opened.

[0056] In this embodiment: when the outward expansion plate 9 is pulled outward by the movable shaft plug block 20, the opening direction of the second nozzle 11 also changes until the multiple second nozzles 11 are fully opened. At this time, the output direction of the multiple second nozzles 11 is the same as that of the first nozzle 3, and they are all aligned with the center of the solution output pipe 7, so that the shear force of the impact airflow on the metal solution reaches the maximum.

[0057] For details, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 10 A plurality of connecting rotating blocks 22 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating ring 12 , and a connecting rotating groove 21 is opened at one side end of each limiting sliding groove 4 , and the plurality of connecting rotating blocks 22 rotate in the plurality of connecting rotating grooves 21 respectively.

[0060] In this embodiment, the air pipe 23 is connected to an external air pressure pump to input a high-pressure airflow of an inert gas to the first nozzle 3 and the second nozzle 11, and the output power is adjusted by the external air pressure pump to control the shear force formed by the impact airflow.

A feeding material preparation device for metal powder injection molding according to claim 6, characterized in that: The upper end of each air flow output pipe (2) is fixedly connected to an air connection pipe (23), and each air connection pipe (23) is connected to an external air pressure pump.

8. A feeding material preparation device for metal powder injection molding according to claim 7, characterized in that: A collecting cooling barrel (24) is provided on the lower side of the fixing ring (1); one side end of the collecting cooling barrel (24) is fixedly connected to a support seat (25); the upper end of the support seat (25) is fixedly connected to a driving motor (26); the output end of the driving motor (26) is fixedly connected to a gear (27); and the gear (27) is meshed with the gear ring (14).

9. A feeding material preparation device for metal powder injection molding according to claim 8, characterized in that: A high-pressure air pipe (28) is provided in each of the air flow output pipes (2), and the high-pressure air pipe (28) is respectively connected to the air connection pipe (23), the first nozzle (3) and the flow distribution pipe (8).

10. A method for preparing feedstock for metal powder injection molding according to claim 9, characterized in that: The steps include: S1, the solution output pipe (7) is connected to the discharge port of the molten metal tank, the collecting cooling barrel (24) at the lower end is connected to the metal powder cooling and collecting device, an atomized metal powder preparation device is provided between the solution output pipe (7) and the collecting cooling barrel (24), when the metal solution flows out from the solution output pipe (7), it is broken into fine droplets by the impact of high-pressure gas, and these droplets are then cooled and solidified to form; S2. When a coarser metal powder needs to be produced, the outlet directions of the plurality of gas flow output pipes (2) do not coincide with the center of the solution output pipe (7), thereby reducing the shear force of the metal solution when it is impacted by the high-pressure gas, so that the particles of the metal solution that are crushed by the impact are larger. When performing powder injection molding, larger particles have a lower cost, and the injection pressure can be reduced during the injection process, thereby reducing the equipment load. S3. When it is necessary to produce finer metal powder, the driving motor (26) drives the gear ring (14) to rotate clockwise at a small angle, thereby changing the gas outlet direction of the multiple first nozzles (3) so that the gas outlet direction of the multiple first nozzles (3) is the center of the solution output pipe (7), thereby increasing the shear force when the gas impacts the metal solution. While the gear ring (14) rotates, the second nozzle (11) at the lower end opens to form a secondary layer impact. The metal particles initially crushed by the first nozzle (3) can be crushed into fine metal powder after passing through the second impact airflow. During metal injection molding, it has better fluidity, which helps to fill complex mold cavities during the injection process and reduce the occurrence of defects.
