Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of powder conveying equipment, in particular to a spiral powder conveying device. Background Art
[0002] As a metal surface modification process, laser cladding technology can achieve corrosion resistance and wear resistance modification of metal surfaces. The core element of the laser cladding technology modification process is the filler used in the process - alloy powder. The performance of the alloy powder determines the performance of the metal after cladding. Alloy powder is different from traditional solder. Traditional solder is mainly welding rods and welding wires. During the welding process, the solder and the molten pool can be butt-welded at any angle. However, due to its own physical properties, alloy powder is in powder form and has a certain fluidity. Therefore, in the laser cladding process, it is necessary to focus on the powder feeding method to ensure the cladding effect.
[0003] In the prior art, conventional powder feeding uses pneumatic powder feeding and gravity powder feeding. Pneumatic powder feeding uses inert gas such as argon as a booster to send the powder to the air release valve bottle through the air pipe. The powder falls to the powder feeding pipe by its own weight in the air discharge valve and is finally sent to the molten pool; gravity powder feeding means that the powder falls freely from a high place to the molten pool under the action of its own gravity. However, whether pneumatic powder feeding or gravity powder feeding is used, the powder finally falls into the molten pool at the powder feeding port by its own gravity, so there is powder accumulation, uneven powder feeding, and the powder feeding speed is difficult to adjust, which is very inconvenient to use.
