The first and second collimating lens groups 111 and 113 collimate the incident laser beam, while the reflector group 112 alters the optical path of the collimated laser beam. The hollow reflector group 114 achieves a 90° bend in the optical path and has a hollow diameter of 50-100mm, thus altering the optical path and acting on the workpiece surface to form a molten pool. One end of the three-beam coaxial integrated head 11 is equipped with a ring-shaped guide tube 115 and a ring-shaped powder nozzle 117, with the ring-shaped powder nozzle 117 coaxially surrounding the outside of the ring-shaped guide tube 115. The other end of the three-beam coaxial integrated head 11 is connected to a powder feeding channel 116, which passes through the interior of the three-beam coaxial integrated head 11 and connects to the ring-shaped powder nozzle 117. The powder is connected to the annular powder nozzle 117 by the powder feeding channel 116, which is coaxially wrapped around the outside of the annular wire guide tube 115 to form a conical powder flow and coaxially intersect with the laser beam and wire on the workpiece surface.

The wire fed by the wire feeder 7 is conveyed along the central axis through the annular guide tube 115. The annular laser beam emitted by the laser generator 5 is conveyed around the periphery of the wire feeder shaft. The powder flow conveyed by the powder feeder 3 is formed by the annular powder nozzle 117 surrounding the annular laser beam to create a conical flow field. The annular laser beam, wire, and powder coaxially converge on the workpiece surface, forming a spatial coupling structure with "wire in the center, laser ring in the middle, and powder ring outside," achieving synchronous, point-to-point, and unidirectional transport of energy and materials, ensuring thermal-mechanical-mass triple coupling of light, wire, and powder within the molten pool.

[0029] The present invention is further illustrated below through a specific embodiment. This embodiment addresses the surface defect repair and functional graded layer fabrication of 20mm thick titanium alloy TC4 plates, solving the problems of weak wire bridging ability, low powder utilization, and difficulty in controlling forming quality in traditional repair processes.
