[0059] like Figure 8 As shown, the clockwork mechanism 82 includes a clockwork box 821, a clockwork belt 822 and a clockwork shaft 823; the clockwork box 821 has a storage space for accommodating the clockwork belt 822, the clockwork belt 822 is arranged in the clockwork box 821, one end of the clockwork belt 822 is fixed to the inner wall of the clockwork box 821, and the other end of the clockwork belt 822 is arranged on the clockwork shaft 823; a through hole is opened on the clockwork box 821, and the clockwork shaft 823 passes through the through hole and is arranged on the gear 81, and the clockwork shaft 823 rotates with the gear 81, thereby tightening the clockwork belt 822 to store energy.

In this process, energy is stored in the spring belt. Under the action of the elastic deformation of the spring 8313, the wedge block 8314 slides on the inner wall of the wedge groove, and the wedge block 8314 does not engage with the wedge groove. The wedge block 8314 cannot drive the second rotating disk 8315 to rotate, that is, the first rotating disk 8311 rotates, and the second rotating disk 8315 does not move. At this time, the transmission mechanism 83 does not work.
[0064] When the gear 81 moves to the other end of the first groove 73, the first rack 712 and the second rack 722 are not set at this position, and the gear 81 is free from the constraints of the first rack 712 and the second rack 722.

[0066] The sleeve 843 is sleeved on the second rod 841, and a through slot 844 is provided at a position of the sleeve 843 opposite to the trapezoidal scraper 421. The through slot 844 is provided along the axial direction of the sleeve 843, and the length of the through slot 844 matches the second groove 842. The slidable end of the slider passes through the through slot 844 and reciprocates on the second groove 842.
[0067] When the second rotating shaft 834 rotates, the second rod 841 is driven to rotate, and the slider 85 reciprocates on the second groove 842 and in the through groove 844 of the sleeve 843 .
[0068] In the embodiment, Fig.12 and Fig.14 As shown, the wiping member 86 includes a first cleaning sub-member 861, the first cleaning sub-member 861 has a wiping groove 8611, the wiping groove 8611 matches the trapezoidal scraper 421, the first cleaning sub-member 861 is arranged on the trapezoidal scraper 421, the side wall of the wiping groove 8611 is connected to the slider 85, and during the reciprocating motion of the slider 85 in the second groove 842, the first cleaning sub-member 861 moves on the scraper, wipes the scraper, and scrapes off excess metal powder on the scraper; wherein, the length of the second groove 842 satisfies the movement of the wiping member 86 from one end of the trapezoidal scraper 421 to the other end, and then moves from the other end of the trapezoidal scraper 421 to one end of the trapezoidal scraper 421, that is, the wiping groove 8611 reciprocates on the trapezoidal scraper 421.
[0069] The first cleaning sub-component 861 is made of elastic and wear-resistant material and can produce elastic deformation.
[0070] like Fig.14 As shown, the wiping member 86 also includes a second cleaning sub-member 862, and the second cleaning sub-member 862 is arranged on the outer wall of the first cleaning sub-member 861, and the second cleaning sub-member 862 is relatively arranged at the lower end of the powder holding groove 411, and the cleaning end of the second cleaning sub-member 862 can be a cleaning cloth, and a cleaning brush body can also be set; during the movement of the wiping member 86, the second cleaning sub-member 862 cleans the lower end surface of the powder holding groove 411, especially cleans the output port of the powder holding groove 411, so as to avoid excess metal powder remaining at the output port of the powder holding groove 411.
[0071] During the use of the equipment, especially when different metal powders are used for different laser melting, if different metal powders remain on the scraper, it is particularly easy for different metal powders to remain at the bottom of the powder holding tank 411 or at the output port of the powder holding tank 411. When the equipment works again, the residual metal powder will be mixed into the metal powder this time, which will affect the laser melting forming effect.
[0072] In this embodiment, after the clockwork mechanism 82 completes energy accumulation, in the process of releasing energy, the transmission mechanism 83 drives the slide bar assembly 84 to rotate, and the slider 85 slides in the groove of the second rod 841. The slider 85 reciprocates on the side wall of the scraper, driving the wiping member 86 to wipe the scraper. The first cleaning sub-component 861 scrapes off the metal powder remaining on the trapezoidal scraper, and the second cleaning sub-component 862 cleans the bottom of the powder holding groove 411 or the output port of the powder holding groove 411. During the use of the equipment, there is no need to replace the scraper, and laser melting products of different metal powders can be produced.
[0073] In the above embodiment, Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, it also includes a mixing component 9, which includes a gantry 91 and a mixing piece 92 on the gantry 91, one end of the gantry 91 is arranged on the slider 85, and the other end of the gantry 91 is arranged on the mixing piece 92; the mixing piece 92 is located in the powder-laying containing groove 411, and the mixing piece 92 is arranged near the bottom of the powder-laying containing groove 411. During the reciprocating motion of the slider 85 along the scraper, the gantry 91 drives the mixing piece 92 to reciprocate in the powder-laying containing groove 411, so as to flatten the metal powder in the powder-laying containing groove 411 and avoid the problem of inconsistent height of the metal powder in the powder-laying containing groove 411.
[0074] If the metal powder is unevenly distributed in the powder holding tank 411, with some high and some low, especially when the amount of metal powder in the powder holding tank 411 is small, when the metal powder is laid to the end, the metal powder output at the low place is small, and the metal powder output at the high place is large, the scraper will only scrape the metal with large output, and on the paving plane, the place with small output will form a depression or a slope, so that the final laying of the metal powder cannot form a flat plane, and the product processing cannot be completed during laser melting.
[0075] In this embodiment, the mixing element 92 ensures that the metal powder is evenly spread in the powder holding groove 411 during the reciprocating motion in the powder holding groove 411, thereby ensuring that the metal powder spread on the powder plane 3 is flat and has a consistent height, thereby ensuring the final laser processing effect.
[0076] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
