[0002] Friction stir additive manufacturing is a new type of solid-phase forming additive manufacturing method, which uses a rod as a raw material.

[0031] The following will be described in conjunction with Figures 1-4The application discloses a specific structure of a wear-resistant shoulder tool for friction stir additive manufacturing.

[0032] As Figure 1 shown in the figure, the wear-resistant shoulder tool for friction stir additive manufacturing comprises a clamping handle 7 and a wear-resistant metal component, the inside of the clamping handle 7 is provided with a bar channel 1, the wear-resistant metal component is arranged on the end face of one end of the clamping handle 7, the wear resistance of the wear-resistant metal component is greater than that of the clamping handle 7, the wear-resistant metal component is detachably connected with the clamping handle 7, and the wear-resistant metal component is provided with a wear-resistant plane on the side away from the clamping handle 7.

[0033] The wear-resistant shoulder tool for friction stir additive manufacturing provided by the application has the advantages that the wear-resistant metal component with greater wear resistance is arranged on the end face of one end of the clamping handle 7, the wear-resistant metal component provides extrusion and friction stirring action on the plastic material during the additive manufacturing process, and the wear-resistant metal component bears the main wear of the plastic material on the shoulder tool, thereby prolonging the service life of the shoulder tool; since only the wear-resistant metal component uses wear-resistant materials with a higher price, the manufacturing cost of the shoulder tool is effectively reduced.

[0034] In an embodiment of the application, the wear-resistant plane is used to provide extrusion and friction stirring action on the plastic material during the additive manufacturing process, and the wear-resistant plane is circular, of course, the shape of the wear-resistant plane is not limited to this, and is determined according to actual production requirements.

[0035] In an embodiment of the application, the bar channel 1 is used as a conveying channel of the bar, and the bar is continuously sent out from the bar channel 1 and plasticized after being rubbed against the base plate to generate heat during the additive manufacturing process. The bar channel 1 is arranged along the length direction of the clamping handle 7, the bar channel 1 penetrates through the clamping handle 7, and ports are formed at both ends of the clamping handle 7. The central axis of the bar channel 1 is coaxial with the central axis of the clamping handle 7, that is, the bar channel 1 is coaxially arranged with the clamping handle 7. In the embodiment, the cross section of the bar channel 1 is rectangular, of course, the cross section shape of the bar channel 1 is not limited to this, and can also be other shapes, and is determined according to actual needs.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the application, the roughness of the inner surface of the bar channel 1 should be less than 0.2, and the bar channel 1 is polished by adopting fluid polishing when the shoulder tool is processed, so as to reduce the friction resistance during feeding.

[0037] In an embodiment of the application, the clamping handle 7 is in the shape of a cylinder, and the cooperation precision grade of the clamping handle 7 and the main shaft is h6, so as to ensure the reliability and stability of the shoulder installation.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present application, the end face of one end of the clamping handle 7 is provided with a positioning groove 5, which is used to install the wear-resistant metal assembly and plays a positioning role on the wear-resistant metal assembly. The positioning groove 5 provides a mounting position for the wear-resistant metal assembly and plays a positioning role on the wear-resistant metal assembly, preventing the wear-resistant metal assembly from moving. The positioning groove 5 is a circular groove, but the shape of the positioning groove 5 is not limited to this and is determined according to the shape of the wear-resistant metal assembly.

[0039] In one preferred embodiment of the present application, the outer circumferential surface of one end of the clamping handle 7 is provided with an outer taper surface. The outer taper surface is provided on the outer circumferential surface of one end of the clamping handle 7, which increases the surface area of the clamping handle 7 while reducing the volume of the clamping handle 7, thereby improving the heat conduction and heat dissipation capacity of the clamping handle 7 itself and being beneficial to heat management in the friction stir additive process.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present application, the wear-resistant metal assembly is embedded in the positioning groove 5, and the thickness of the wear-resistant metal assembly is greater than the depth of the positioning groove 5, so that part of the wear-resistant metal assembly protrudes out of the positioning groove 5. Specifically, the height of the wear-resistant metal assembly protruding out of the positioning groove 5 is 0.8 times the depth of the positioning groove 5. By making part of the wear-resistant metal assembly protrude out of the positioning groove 5, the wear-resistant flat surface provides extrusion and friction stirring effects on the plastic material during the additive manufacturing process, and the clamping handle 7 will not be worn, thereby further prolonging the service life of the shoulder tool.

[0041] It should be noted that the thickness of the wear-resistant metal assembly refers to the size along the length direction of the clamping handle 7, i.e. Figure 2 the size in the up-down direction.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present application, the wear-resistant metal assembly includes a plurality of wear-resistant alloy blocks 2, which are arranged in sequence in the circumferential direction to enclose an opening in communication with the bar channel 1. The plurality of wear-resistant alloy blocks 2 are spliced to form a circular plate body, and the thicknesses of the plurality of wear-resistant alloy blocks 2 are equal. The plurality of wear-resistant alloy blocks 2 are spliced to form a wear-resistant flat surface on the side away from the clamping handle 7, and the opening is located at the center of the wear-resistant flat surface.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present application, the wear-resistant metal assembly includes four wear-resistant alloy blocks 2, each of which has the same shape and size. With such a setting, when the wear-resistant alloy blocks 2 are installed, there is no need to consider the installation position of each wear-resistant alloy block 2, effectively simplifying the installation method of the wear-resistant shoulder tool, shortening the installation time, and improving the installation efficiency. Of course, the number of wear-resistant alloy blocks 2 is not limited to this and can be five, six or more, which is determined according to actual needs. The material of the wear-resistant alloy block 2 can be polycrystalline cubic boron nitride, tungsten-rhenium alloy or tungsten-cobalt alloy, but the material of the wear-resistant alloy block 2 is not limited to this and is determined according to actual needs.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present application, the wear-resistant alloy block 2 is provided with at least one wear-resistant alloy countersunk hole 6, the wear-resistant alloy countersunk hole 6 penetrates the wear-resistant alloy block 2, the wear-resistant alloy countersunk hole 6 is a circular hole, a wear-resistant bolt 3 is arranged in the wear-resistant alloy countersunk hole 6, and the nut of the wear-resistant bolt 3 is located in the wear-resistant alloy countersunk hole 6 to prevent the wear-resistant bolt 3 from being worn during use. The bottom wall of the positioning groove 5 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes 9 corresponding to the wear-resistant alloy countersunk hole 6, the threaded hole 9 is coaxially arranged with the wear-resistant alloy countersunk hole 6, and the wear-resistant bolt 3 is threadedly connected with the corresponding threaded hole 9.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present application, the wear-resistant alloy block 2 is provided with a first plane on the side facing the opening, and the wear-resistant alloy block 2 is provided with a second plane on one end. In the adjacent two wear-resistant alloy blocks 2, the first plane of one wear-resistant alloy block 2 abuts against the second plane of the other wear-resistant alloy block 2, and the second planes of the plurality of wear-resistant alloy blocks 2 cooperatively enclose the opening. In this embodiment, the wear-resistant alloy block 2 is provided with four wear-resistant alloy blocks 2, and the first planes of the adjacent two wear-resistant alloy blocks 2 are perpendicular, thereby enclosing a rectangular opening.

[0046] Preferably, the wear-resistant alloy block 2 is provided with an arc surface on the side facing the inner wall of the positioning groove 5, the arc surface has an arc similar to that of the inner wall of the positioning groove 5, the arc surface of the wear-resistant alloy block 2 abuts against the inner wall of the positioning groove 5, the wear-resistant alloy block 2 is limited by the inner wall of the positioning groove 5, and the wear-resistant bolt 3 of the wear-resistant alloy block 2 is prevented from loosening. Since the first plane of one wear-resistant alloy block 2 abuts against the second plane of the other wear-resistant alloy block 2 in the adjacent two wear-resistant alloy blocks 2, when one of the wear-resistant alloy blocks 2 is subjected to an external force, the other wear-resistant alloy block 2 abuts against the wear-resistant alloy block 2 and abuts against the side wall of the positioning groove 5, thereby limiting the wear-resistant alloy block 2 from two directions to prevent the wear-resistant alloy block 2 from loosening.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present application, the cross-sectional area of the bar channel 1 is equal to the cross-sectional area of the opening. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the bar channel 1 and the cross-section of the opening are both rectangular, and the width and length of the cross-section of the bar channel 1 are equal to the length and width of the cross-section of the opening. In this way, no step is formed at the connection between the bar channel 1 and the opening, thereby reducing the frictional resistance during feeding.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present application, the wear-resistant alloy block 2 is provided with wear-resistant alloy positioning keys 10 on the side facing the clamping handle 7, which are integrally formed with the wear-resistant alloy block 2, and can also be connected by welding or interference fit. The bottom wall of the positioning groove 5 is provided with a plurality of positioning key grooves 8, and the wear-resistant alloy positioning keys 10 are correspondingly embedded in the positioning key grooves 8. By embedding the wear-resistant alloy positioning keys 10 in the corresponding positioning key grooves 8, the wear-resistant alloy positioning keys 10 and the positioning key grooves 8 cooperate to position the wear-resistant alloy block 2, and in combination with the fixing effect of the wear-resistant bolts 3, the stability of the wear-resistant alloy block 2 is effectively improved, preventing the wear-resistant alloy block 2 from loosening during use.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present application, the cross sections of the wear-resistant alloy positioning keys 10 and the positioning key grooves 8 are non-circular. When the wear-resistant alloy positioning keys 10 are embedded in the positioning key grooves 8, since the cross sections of the wear-resistant alloy positioning keys 10 and the positioning key grooves 8 are non-circular, the wear-resistant alloy block 2 is limited from rotating around the axis of the wear-resistant bolts 3, further improving the stability of the wear-resistant alloy block 2.

[0050] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the thickness of the wear-resistant alloy positioning keys 10 is equal to the depth of the positioning key grooves 8, the cross section of the wear-resistant alloy positioning keys 10 is elliptical, and the cross section of the positioning key grooves 8 is elliptical. Of course, the cross-sectional shapes of the wear-resistant alloy positioning keys 10 and the positioning key grooves 8 are not limited to elliptical, but can also be triangular, rectangular or other shapes.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present application, the wear-resistant alloy countersunk hole 6 penetrates the wear-resistant alloy positioning key 10, and the wear-resistant alloy countersunk hole 6 is coaxially arranged with the wear-resistant alloy positioning key 10. Of course, the wear-resistant alloy countersunk hole 6 and the wear-resistant alloy positioning key 10 can also be arranged non-coaxially.

[0052] The locating keyway 8 is connected to the threaded hole 9, and the locating keyway 8 and the threaded hole 9 are coaxially arranged. This arrangement has the following three advantages: First, it reduces the area occupied by the wear-resistant alloy countersunk hole 6 and the threaded hole 9. Since the size of the locating groove 5 is small, connecting the locating keyway 8 to the threaded hole 9 and setting them coaxially reduces the total area occupied by the wear-resistant alloy countersunk hole 6 and the threaded hole 9, allowing for the adaptation to smaller locating grooves 5. Second, it reduces the machining amount when drilling. Since the threaded hole 9 is located within the locating keyway 8, the threaded hole 9 can be made shorter, reducing the machining amount. Third, it facilitates the assembly of the wear-resistant alloy block 2. After the wear-resistant alloy locating key 10 is embedded into the locating keyway 8, the wear-resistant alloy countersunk hole 6 will automatically align with the threaded hole 9 because the locating keyway 8 and the threaded hole 9 are coaxially arranged. This eliminates the need for separate alignment of the wear-resistant alloy countersunk hole 6 and the threaded hole 9, simplifying the assembly process and improving assembly efficiency.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present invention, a flange 4 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the clamping handle 7. The flange 4 is used to connect to the spindle. The flange 4 is provided with multiple bolt holes, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference. The flange 4 and the spindle are connected together by bolts.

The positioning block and the positioning groove 5 are positioned and engaged to ensure that the bar material channel 1 of the spindle is completely aligned with the bar material channel 1 of the clamping handle 7. This simplifies the assembly method of the wear-resistant shoulder tool and further improves the assembly efficiency.
