The conveying path of the welding wire 5 coincides with the central axis of the welding head 6, so that the welding wire can accurately pass through the central area of ​​the Bessel beam.

[0027] A wire feed nozzle 31 is installed below the mounting seat of the welding head 6. The magnetic pressure induction system 8 is fixed on the upper outer wall of the wire feed nozzle 31 and is arranged around the welding head 6. The magnetic field action area intersects with the axis of the welding head 6, so that the main magnetic induction intensity reaches the maximum value in the additive manufacturing molten pool area; the magnetic pressure induction system 8 is composed of a magnetic induction coil 9, a cooling guide seat 10, an annular magnetic pole assembly 11 and a magnetic shielding layer 30; the magnetic induction coil 9 is formed by winding an insulating coated copper wire with a rectangular cross section, and is arranged in a radial multi-layer concentric annular structure, coaxially arranged with the welding head 6, each layer of coils is concentrically arranged and has the same number of turns, and a magnetic shielding layer 30 is arranged on the outer layer to limit the range of action of the magnetic field and reduce interference with other components of the system; the magnetic induction coil 9 is installed on the annular magnetic pole assembly 11, and the lead end of the magnetic induction coil 9 is connected to the dual electromagnetic generator 21, and the dual electromagnetic generator 21 adjusts and controls the input power of the magnetic induction coil 9 through the power control unit.

[0028] The cooling guide seat 10 is an annular structure with a water inlet 12 on the top and a cooling water channel inside; the annular magnetic pole assembly 11 is made of high magnetic permeability soft magnetic material, located at the bottom of the magnetic pressure induction system 8, coaxial with the magnetic induction coil 9, used to guide the magnetic lines of force, and its inner diameter matches the welding head 6; there is an annular cooling water channel inside the annular magnetic pole assembly 11, and a water outlet 15 is provided at the bottom.

[0029] The symmetrical sliding magnetic field generating system is composed of a bilaterally symmetrical slide rail device 13 and an annular magnetic control symmetric generating device 14; the slide rail device 13 has a linear sliding function and can realize precise positioning and adjustment; the annular magnetic control symmetric generating device 14 includes a coil mounting seat 29 and is arranged on both sides of the additive manufacturing working surface, and the central axis of the coil is parallel to the additive manufacturing direction; the coil mounting seat 29 is made of non-magnetic material, and a Helmholtz coil 16 is coaxially arranged inside the coil mounting seat 29, and an insulating gap is formed between the inner wall of the coil mounting seat 29 and the outer wall of the Helmholtz coil 16; the Helmholtz coil 16 is made of a hollow wire, and a spiral refrigeration loop 22 for passing a cooling medium is formed inside the Helmholtz coil 16, and the Helmholtz coil 16 has a spiral structure and is arranged to be wound along its axial direction, and the axial direction is set at a preset angle to the additive manufacturing direction; the spiral refrigeration loop 22 is coaxially arranged with the Helmholtz coil 16 and extends along the spiral direction.

[0030] The magnetic flux lines of the magnetic pressure induction system 8 are mainly distributed in the vertical direction, and the magnetic flux lines of the symmetrical sliding magnetic field generating system are mainly distributed in the horizontal direction. The two magnetic fields form an orthogonal magnetic field configuration in the molten pool area.

[0031] The orthogonal magnetic field configuration design makes the magnetic flux lines of the two magnetic field systems perpendicular to each other in geometric space, forming a relatively independent magnetic field action area. The orthogonal magnetic field configuration adopts the principle of regional control, and forms a controllable and stable composite magnetic field distribution in the molten pool area by adjusting the magnetic pole position and adjusting the excitation parameters.

[0036] When the welding head 6 performs additive manufacturing along a preset trajectory, the high-speed camera 17 and the welding head 6 form a synchronously moving whole, always maintaining a predetermined relative position relationship. By accurately adjusting the angles of each joint of the support arm 19, the shooting field of view of the high-speed camera 17 can be accurately aligned with the molten pool area, so as to realize real-time monitoring of the morphology, size and dynamic characteristics of the molten pool during the additive manufacturing process. The high-speed camera 17 analyzes the obtained image and then transmits the information to the controller 20. The controller 20 generates corresponding control instructions to adjust the output power and ratio of the two electromagnetic emissions in the dual electromagnetic generator 21. The dual magnetic field ratio and power information are transmitted to the dual electromagnetic generator 21.

[0037] After receiving the instruction from the controller 20, the dual electromagnetic generator 21 adjusts the electromagnetic fields of the magnetic pressure induction system 8 and the symmetrical sliding magnetic field generating system respectively, independently adjusts the intensity of each electromagnetic field, realizes the proportional control of the electromagnetic field intensity, and dynamically changes the electromagnetic field ratio. The controller is used to receive the information obtained by the high-speed camera after analyzing the image, and generate corresponding control instructions to adjust the output power and ratio of the two electromagnetic emissions in the dual electromagnetic generator.

Fixed points 27 are set at the four corners of each protective plate 25 to make the structure more stable and reliable. The platform-wing bottom plate 4 forms a semi-enclosed additive manufacturing workspace.

[0039] A laser coaxial fuse additive manufacturing method based on dual magnetic field collaboration includes the following steps: S1. Pre-treat and install the workpiece 3: clean the workpiece surface to ensure that there is no contaminant, fix the workpiece 3 on the platform wing bottom plate 4, adjust the position of the protective plate 25 to form a semi-enclosed additive manufacturing space, load the welding wire 5 into the wire feeding mechanism, check the operation status of the wire feeding system, and ensure that the welding wire conveying channel is unobstructed; S2.

Real-time monitoring and parameter optimization: The molten pool state is monitored in real time by a high-speed camera 17, and the controller 20 analyzes the collected image data to obtain the morphological characteristics of the molten pool; based on the analysis results, the system dynamically adjusts the strength of the vertical and horizontal magnetic fields through a dual electromagnetic generator 21, and uses a progressive adjustment method to ensure the stability of the additive manufacturing process, and accurately controls the droplet transition and molten pool flow; S6. Additive manufacturing completion and post-processing: After the additive manufacturing is completed, each system is shut down in sequence according to the established procedure, the workpiece 3 is quality checked, and the process parameter data including magnetic field strength, laser power, and wire feeding speed are fully recorded.

[0040] Therefore, the present invention provides a laser coaxial fused wire additive manufacturing device and method based on dual magnetic field collaboration, so that the wire feeding direction always remains coaxial with the laser beam, overcoming the problem of unstable molten droplet transport caused by changes in the wire feeding angle in traditional lateral wire feeding, and improving the reliability of the welding process. The magnetic pressure induction system and the symmetrical sliding magnetic field generation system in the present invention form a dual magnetic field auxiliary system that cooperates with each other. By adjusting a reasonable dual magnetic field ratio, it not only increases the depth of the molten pool, but also solves the technical bottleneck that the traditional single magnetic field is difficult to achieve deep fusion welding. At the same time, it can produce a stronger electromagnetic stirring effect, promote heat and mass transfer inside the molten pool, improve the uniformity and stability of the fusion depth, and make the molten pool flow more uniformly.
