TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of laser remanufacturing repair, and in particular to a laser head suitable for large component remanufacturing repair and a working method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of laser remanufacturing repair, for large component surface repair, there is a problem of large temperature gradient in the processing process, which is prone to produce large residual stress, resulting in cladding layer defects, even cracking and other problems. Therefore, before laser surface repair, the component needs to be preheated to resist the high stress caused by rapid laser heating and cooling. For large components with complex shape and large heat capacity, there are two common methods on the market: one is to put the entire component into a heating furnace and heat it uniformly to the target temperature. However, a huge heating furnace is needed to accommodate the entire large component, which has high investment and operating costs, and poor flexibility, making it unsuitable for on-site repair. In addition, heating the entire large component to several hundred degrees Celsius requires a huge amount of energy. The other method is to use induction coils or resistance heating blankets to locally heat the cladding area and its vicinity. However, it is difficult to control the temperature uniformity, and the heat field distribution of large components is uneven, which is prone to local overheating or insufficient preheating, resulting in new thermal stress. The current existing equipment cannot change this situation, which seriously affects the efficiency and quality of large component remanufacturing repair. In addition, the maximum rated power of most current lasers is much larger than the laser power used, resulting in low utilization of the laser, which indirectly or directly causes waste of resources.
[0003] The patent with publication number CN114535800A discloses a laser cladding remelting equipment, which realizes laser cladding (in front) and laser remelting (in back) modification through the cooperation of a beam splitter and a reflector. However, it does not consider that in actual laser cladding process, most of the time is spent on reciprocating cladding processing. Obviously, an equipment that only performs single-sided laser remelting is difficult to apply to actual processing and lacks flexibility. In addition, some existing laser cladding heads are disclosed in other existing technologies, some of which realize laser preheating (in front), laser cladding (in the middle), and laser tempering (in back) modification through the cooperation of a beam splitter and a reflector. However, it does not consider that the laser power used in the latter process is limited by the proportion of the beam splitter used in the former process, making it difficult to ensure that the laser power used in adjacent two cladding tracks in the reciprocating laser cladding process is consistent. At the same time, the number of beam splitter combinations in this invention patent is small and difficult to replace, lacking flexibility in laser power adjustment. SUMMARY

Further, by replacing the beam splitter 26, laser preheating, laser cladding and laser remelting triple processing can be realized on the surface of the large component, so that the component obtains a smooth and crack-free cladding layer.
[0064] The specific working process is described in detail as follows:
[0065] Before processing, open the spectroscope cover plate 14, take out the spectroscope device 30, replace the spectroscope with appropriate splitting ratio and type. Spectroscopes with different splitting ratios have different corresponding reflected light and projected light ratios, which further affect the intensity of laser processing. In this embodiment, the device can install up to 5 different spectroscopes 26, which are connected through the spline and the spectroscope fixing shaft in the circumferential direction of the spectroscope fixing frame 313 for easy disassembly. Then close the spectroscope cover plate 14 for protection. Press the grabbing button 311 to push the pressing elastic self-locking buckle 37 to grab and lock the spectroscope clamping hook 36. The button spring 310 has a much greater elastic force than the friction force of the spline 42, so the spectroscope 26 is separated from the spectroscope fixing frame 313 and controlled by the rotating motor 39. When starting to process to the left, the cladding powder passes through the total powder feeding pipe 31, is divided by the powder distributor 33, flows into the powder feeding pipe 34, and is sprayed from the nozzle 16. At the same time, the laser irradiates on the spectroscope 26, part of which penetrates for laser cladding, and part of which reflects to the left mirror device 29 in the left spectroscope port 28, and then reflects to the Powell prism 64 through the left mirror device 29. The point laser is converted into a line laser and emitted from the left spectroscope port. The high-speed reciprocating swing scanning of the line laser on the surface of the workpiece to be processed is realized through the cooperative control of the mirror motor 65 and the prism motor 62. In order to ensure the position accuracy, the position is fed back in real time by the prism position sensor 61 and the mirror position sensor 66, so as to realize the laser cleaning and preheating treatment on the surface of the workpiece to be processed. The preheating temperature is monitored in real time by the left temperature measuring instrument device 19. If the temperature is too high or too low, the light can be temporarily stopped. Press the grabbing button 311 again to unlock the pressing elastic self-locking mechanism 38 and release the pressing elastic self-locking buckle 37 to push the spectroscope 26 and the spline 42 of the spectroscope fixing frame 313 to be fixedly connected. Then, the dial piece 112 is pushed to the right to drive the rack 51 to move to the right. The rack 51 is engaged with the first gear 52, and the stroke ratio is 5:1, that is, the first gear rotates 72°. The first gear 52 and the second gear 54 are fixed on the rotating shaft 55. The inner side of the second gear 54 is a ratchet gear, which is matched with the pawl 57. The outer side of the second gear 54 is a normal gear, and the outer side of the second gear 54 is 1:1 engaged with the main shaft gear 53, that is, the pawl 57 drives the second gear 54 and the main shaft gear 53 to rotate 72°. The main shaft gear 53 is fixedly connected with the spectroscope rotating main shaft 312 to drive the spectroscope fixing frame 313 to rotate 72°, so as to switch to the next spectroscope 26. The dial spring 111 pushes the dial piece 112 back to the original position to drive the rack, the first gear, and the pawl to move in the opposite direction. However, due to the structure characteristics of the ratchet, the second gear cannot be rotated in the opposite direction, so the dial piece 112 is repeatedly pushed to make the spectroscope rotating main shaft 312 rotate in one direction. The spectroscope rotating main shaft 312 is also connected with the position marker block 113 to realize real-time feedback of the internal spectroscope position distribution. When the spectroscope rotates to the appropriate ratio spectroscope, press the grabbing button 311 to grab the corresponding spectroscope 26 to work.
[0066]
[0067] When the processing inflection point is reached and the processing is to the right, the laser is stopped, the working dichroic mirror 26 is rotated 90° to the right by the rotating motor 39, so that the reflected laser is emitted from the right dichroic port 23, and the working principle is consistent with that of the left dichroic port. In order to ensure the accuracy requirement, the dichroic mirror device 30 is also provided with a dichroic mirror main shaft position sensor and a dichroic mirror position sensor to feed back the position in real time, so that the workpiece surface can be preheated by the laser head during reciprocating processing. Through the detection camera 110, the laser cladding molten pool dynamics and temperature can be monitored in real time, and the cladding layer quality is further ensured.
[0068] The laser fiber is connected with the laser head through the joint 11 and emits laser light, as shown in Figure 11 The incident laser 600 is divided into two parts by the dichroic mirror 26, which are refracted laser 601 and transmitted laser 602. In the dichroic mirror device 30, up to five different dichroic mirrors 26 with different splitting ratios can be fixed by the spline 42. According to the requirement, the dichroic mirror 26 with a suitable ratio can be selected by the dial 112, and the transmitted laser 602 passes through the focusing mirror device 17 and the nozzle 16 for laser cladding.
[0069] The refracted laser 601 is reflected by the mirror 63 and passes through the Powell prism 64 to be converted into a line laser 603, which is emitted from the right dichroic port and acts on the surface of the workpiece to be processed. The mirror motor 65 and the prism motor 62 control the swing of the mirror 63 and the Powell prism 64 according to the position relationship of the mirror 63 and the Powell prism 64 fed back by the mirror position sensor 66 and the prism position sensor 61, so as to realize the reciprocating scanning of the line laser in the processing area and the adjustment of the scanning frequency, and further realize the cleaning and preheating of the surface to be processed.
[0070] In actual reciprocating processing, when the laser head turns, the laser is stopped, and the working dichroic mirror is rotated 90° by the rotating motor 39, so that the reflected laser is emitted from the other left dichroic port 28, thereby ensuring that the line laser always cleans and heats the laser cladding processing area in real time. In addition, the present application is designed with a real-time detection device, which can detect the temperature and morphology of the molten pool in real time, and the temperature detector device 19 can detect the temperature of the heating area in real time. Through real-time monitoring means feedback, then select the appropriate ratio of dichroic mirror, the maximum possible to reduce the temperature gradient, reduce the probability of defects, greatly improve the efficiency and quality of remanufacturing repair, increase the utilization rate of laser power.
[0071] Further, the conventional laser power is about 3000W-4000W, while the conventional laser cladding mostly only needs about 1000W, and the laser cleaning and preheating also needs about 1000W, so the utilization rate of the laser is improved.
[0072] Example 2
[0073] Since the beam splitter device 30 in Embodiment 1 is fixed and encapsulated by the beam splitter cover plate 14, and the beam splitter 26 of the beam splitter device 30 is only installed via splines, the structure is simple and allows for quick assembly and disassembly of beam splitters 26 of different types and different beam splitting ratios. Figure 12 As shown, this embodiment replaces the incident laser 600 with a different type of beam splitter 26. This beam splitter 26 has two first coatings 251 and second coatings 252 arranged at a certain angle. The beam splitter 26 splits the incident laser 600 into three parts: a first refracted laser 605, a second refracted laser 606, and a transmitted laser 602. The first refracted laser 605 becomes a first line laser 607 after passing through a Powell prism 64; the second refracted laser 606 becomes a second line laser 608 after passing through a Powell prism 64. According to the principle of embodiment 1, laser scanning is achieved before and after the laser cladding process. The front laser has a pre-processing function (preheating and cleaning), while the rear laser can realize the functions of laser quenching, laser remelting, and slow cooling, further enhancing the quality of the remanufactured repair layer, thereby achieving efficient and high-quality remanufacturing repair and maximizing the utilization of the laser.
[0074] Throughout the processing, the reflector motor 65 and prism motor 62 in the left housing 202 and the right housing 203 control the reflector 63 and Powell prism 64 to swing according to the positional relationship of the reflector 63 and Powell prism 64 fed back by their respective reflector position sensors 66 and prism position sensors 61, so as to realize the reciprocating scanning of the front and rear laser paths in the processing area and the adjustment of the scanning frequency.
[0075] It should be noted that the power of the first refracting laser 605 and the second refracting laser 606 can be adjusted by adjusting the setting angle of the first coating 251 and the second coating 252; the power of the first refracting laser 605 and the second refracting laser 606 can be equal or unequal; if they are equal, the rotary motor 39 of the beam splitter device 30 will not rotate when the laser head turns during reciprocating processing; if they are unequal, the rotary motor 39 of the beam splitter device 30 will rotate 180° when the laser head turns during reciprocating processing.
[0076] The other structures are the same as in Example 1, and will not be described again here.
[0077] Finally, it should be noted that relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.
[0078] The above merely provides the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the principles and technical scope of the present application shall fall into the scope of the present application.
