Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of laser cladding processing, in particular to a powder feeding structure for laser cladding processing. Background Art
[0002] Laser cladding is a surface modification technology that adds cladding material to the surface of the substrate and uses a high-energy-density laser beam to melt it together with a thin layer on the surface of the substrate to form a metallurgically bonded filler cladding layer. This technology combines the high energy density and high power of the laser beam to quickly melt and cool the surface of the material, thereby generating a hard, wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant coating with excellent properties.
[0003] In conventional laser cladding processing, a powder feeding channel is usually provided inside the cladding head to eject the cladding material together with the laser, thereby melting the cladding material together with the substrate surface. For this purpose, a laser cladding processing powder feeding structure is required.
[0004] The current powder feeding structure of laser cladding processing usually sets a powder feeding channel in the cladding head, and feeds powder to the center laser through the powder feeding channel. The diameter of the powder feeding channel is usually fixed, and the powder feeding amount cannot be conveniently controlled by controlling the size of the powder feeding channel, and different thicknesses of coatings cannot be applied on the workpiece surface as needed. On the other hand, the current powder feeding structure of laser cladding processing usually uses a hose for powder feeding, and there is no limiting mechanism on the cladding head. During operation, the hose may be pulled, thereby causing damage to the hose. Therefore, a laser cladding processing powder feeding structure is proposed to solve the above problems.

A limiting groove 8 is provided inside the inclined surface protrusion 7. There are eight groups of limiting grooves 8, which are evenly distributed in an annular shape inside the inclined surface protrusion 7. The inner side of the limiting groove 8 is elastically connected to the limiting block 10 through a limiting spring 9. When the limiting block 10 is not subjected to force, the limiting spring 9 will push the limiting block 10 to move outward. One end of the limiting spring 9 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the limiting groove 8, and the other end of the limiting spring 9 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the limiting block 10. The outer periphery of the limiting block 10 is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting groove 8, and the limiting groove 8 limits the limiting block 10 to move horizontally only along the inner wall of the limiting groove 8.
