[0002] Laser additive manufacturing is a manufacturing technology that uses metal powder as the raw material for forming and a high-energy laser beam as the heat source. During processing, the laser beam melts the metal powder added simultaneously layer by layer, and the metal raw material solidifies rapidly and is deposited layer by layer. The prior art patent CN111168070A is a magnetic field-excited laser additive device, which uses a magnetic field to excite the current-carrying bottom plate to vibrate, stir the internal structure of the molding material, to a certain extent refine the grains, improve the uniformity of the structure, reduce stress concentration, and improve the mechanical properties of the material molding.

The laser completes the heating treatment of the metal powder and completes the laser additive processing. When the two gas nozzles 6 that feed the metal powder are blocked and affect the additive processing, the control gear 24 drives the drive shaft 25 to rotate through the existing common electric control motor, so that the control gear 24 drives the control gear ring 23 and the rotating mounting ring 5 to rotate, and the two unused gas nozzles 6 are rotated to the position of the guide groove 7 for replacement.
[0025] Embodiment 2: On the basis of embodiment 1, a positioning assembly is provided to enable the precise connection between the gas nozzle 6 and the guide groove 7 or the cleaning piston groove 8 after the self-rotating mounting ring 5 rotates. The positioning assembly is provided on one side of the laser additive processing head 1 close to the self-rotating mounting ring 5.

A spring rod is vertically provided at the center of the lower end of the positioning movable plate 29. A spring sleeve 33 is vertically provided at the center of the lower end of the positioning spring groove 28. The lower end of the spring rod is vertically movably inserted into the spring sleeve 33. A support spring 34 is vertically provided at the lower end of the positioning movable plate 29, and the support spring 34 is sleeved with the spring sleeve 33. The maximum movable angle of the abutment block 27 in the arc-shaped swinging groove 26 is 90°. When the control gear 24 drives the control gear ring 23 to rotate, when the abutment Before block 27 reaches the edge of the arc-shaped swing groove 26, it contacts the inclined surface of the positioning block 32 first. The positioning block 32 pushes the positioning movable plate 29 to squeeze the supporting spring 34 to descend. Then, under the elastic force of the supporting spring 34, the positioning block 32 is inserted into the positioning groove 31. At this time, the edge of the abutment block 27 abuts against the side constraint block 30, and the rotating mounting ring 5 cannot rotate. At this time, the gas nozzle 6 and the guide groove 7 are precisely docked. The insertion of the positioning block 32 and the positioning groove 31 can overcome the influence of the slight swing of the control gear 24 on the rotation position of the rotating mounting ring 5.
