Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of additive manufacturing, and particularly to a metal powder spreading device for additive manufacturing of a rocket engine thrust chamber. Background Art

[0002] The development direction of liquid rocket engines is high reliability, low cost, reusability, and short development cycles. Among them, the thrust chamber operates in harsh environments such as high temperature, high pressure, and high heat flux, and has to withstand extreme pressure and temperature gradients. Moreover, the improvement of engine performance will inevitably bring a more severe working environment to the thrust chamber. The mass of the thrust chamber generally accounts for more than 40% of the total mass of the entire engine, and it has a complex structure and many components, with extremely high requirements in terms of manufacturing accuracy, consistency, stability, and reliability. Traditional large-sized thrust chambers are composed of hundreds or thousands of components, and their production and manufacturing processes involve mechanical processing, welding, inspection, testing, etc. Not only is the production cycle long, but it is also difficult to detect certain steps, which affects the product reliability; advanced thrust chamber technologies will inevitably have material diversity and structural complexity, thus bringing difficulties in research, development, and production; Additive manufacturing technology has great advantages in complex structure forming, integrated design of multiple components, rapid production of small-batch customization, and cost reduction. Liquid rocket engine thrust chambers have the characteristics of a large number of parts, complex assembly and welding, and high production costs for small-batch customization; giving full play to the advantages of additive manufacturing technology helps liquid rocket engines achieve the development goals of "high reliability, low cost, and short development cycles".

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1-7, the present invention provides a technical solution: a metal powder spreading device for additive manufacturing of a rocket engine thrust chamber. An installation seat 2 is slidably arranged on the inner wall of the cavity of the body 1 through a track.

The powder is guided and dropped through the front and rear inclined guiding mesh plate 7 and is led out through the bottom of the powder spreading cavity 4, so that the powder is evenly laid in the longitudinal position. After the powder spreading is completed, the first electric push rod 6 drives the guiding mesh plate 7 to move downward, so that the sealing plate 9 closes the bottom of the powder spreading cavity 4, and the second electric push rod 16 drives the scraper 17 to scrape the powder flat.

[0020] As an embodiment of the present invention, a pushing mechanism is arranged in the center rod 10 and on the inner wall of the cavity of the machine body 1, and the pushing mechanism is used to push the auxiliary laying strip 13 to move vertically; the pushing mechanism includes a pushing strip 151, and the pushing strip 151 is installed longitudinally through the powder laying head 3.

The tooth plate 154 is installed in the cross bar 11 and the mounting sleeve 12, and the outer end of the tooth plate 154 is meshed with a tooth roller 155, and the tooth roller 155 is arranged in the mounting sleeve 12 through the embedded rotation of the torsion spring; the push heads 152 are evenly spaced on the inner wall of the cavity of the body 1, and the distribution position of the push heads 152 is adapted to the moving track of the mounting seat 2, and the push heads 152 are designed as a hemispherical structure; the push plate 153 is limited and slidable in the center rod 10, and the front end of the center rod 10 is designed as an inclined structure to conflict with the tooth plate 154; the tooth roller 155 is meshed with the auxiliary laying strip 13 of the rack structure, and the auxiliary laying strip 13 and the tooth plate 154 are staggered; The connecting rod 8 drives the push strip 151 to move upward through the center rod 10, so that the push strip 151 here moves upward to the position of the push head 152. When the powder spreading head 3 moves, the push strip 151 moves with it, and the push strip 151 contacts the push head 152, so that the push strip 151 is forced to move longitudinally in the center rod 10. The inclined surface of the push plate 153 on the push strip 151 contacts the tooth plate 154, pushing it to move toward the installation sleeve 12, and the tooth plate 154 and the tooth roller 15 5 meshes, driving the toothed roller 155 to rotate, and then the toothed roller 155 meshes with the auxiliary laying strip 13, driving the auxiliary laying strip 13 to move up, so that it contacts with the guide mesh plate 7, and the guide mesh plate 7 is forced to vibrate, which helps to guide the powder thereon to fall evenly. At the same time, when the pushing strip 151 is separated from the pushing head 152, the pushing strip 151 is reset under the action of the spring, so that the auxiliary laying strip 13 moves down and resets, and the pressing plate 14 contacts with the top inclined surface of the sealing plate 9 to squeeze the fallen powder.

[0021] Working principle: According to the powder spreading requirement, select to open the corresponding powder spreading chamber 4. The first electric push rod 6 drives the guiding mesh plate 7 to move upward, so that the guiding mesh plate 7 drives the sealing plate 9 to move upward through the connecting rod 8, exposing the opening space at the bottom of the powder spreading chamber 4 here. The corresponding metal powder is conveyed into the powder spreading chamber 4 through the powder feeding mechanism. The powder is guided and dropped through the guiding mesh plate 7 that is inclined forward and backward, and is discharged through the bottom of the powder spreading chamber 4, so that the powder is evenly laid in the longitudinal position. At the same time, the connecting rod 8 drives the pushing strip 151 to move upward through the central rod 10, so that the pushing strip 151 here moves upward to the position of the pushing head 152, and the pushing strip 151 moves upward in the space penetrated by the rear end of the powder spreading head 3. Through the sealing strip on the pushing strip 151, the connection between the space penetrated by the rear end of the powder spreading head 3 and the powder spreading chamber 4 is sealed to prevent powder overflow. At the same time, the mounting seat 2 and the powder spreading head 3 are driven to move horizontally through the track, and the powder spreading head 3 is driven to move upward by the cylinder on the mounting seat 2, so that the bottom of the powder spreading head 3 is separated from the internal powder layer. The powder spreading head 3 performs powder spreading operations during the movement; During this process, the pushing strip 151 moves along, and the pushing strip 151 contacts the pushing head 152, so that the pushing strip 151 is forced to move longitudinally in the central rod 10. The inclined surface of the pushing plate 153 on the pushing strip 151 abuts against the toothed plate 154, pushing it to move in the direction of the mounting sleeve 12.

The guiding mesh plate 7 is stressed and vibrates, which helps the powder on it to be evenly guided and fall. At the same time, when the pushing strip 151 is separated from the pushing head 152, the pushing strip 151 resets under the action of the spring, so that the assisting spreading strip 13 moves downward and resets. The pressing plate 14 contacts the inclined surface at the top of the sealing plate 9 to squeeze the falling powder to prevent caking. After powder spreading is completed, the first electric push rod 6 drives the guiding mesh plate 7 to move downward, so that the sealing plate 9 closes the bottom of the powder spreading chamber 4, and the second electric push rod 16 drives the scraper 17 to scrape the powder flat.
