DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model. Specific embodiment 1

[0034] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model is a laser detection device for additive manufacturing, comprising:

[0035] The fixing component 100 includes a housing 101, a cover plate 102 disposed on the top of the housing 101, the housing 101 and the cover plate 102 are connected by connecting rivets 103, and a receiving cavity 104 disposed at the bottom of the housing 101;

[0036] The detection component 200 includes a driving component 201 disposed inside the housing 101, a moving component 202 disposed outside the driving component 201, and a detection component 203 disposed inside the moving component 202;

[0037] The driving assembly 201 includes a motor 201a fixed inside the accommodating cavity 104, a driving shaft 201b fixed to the driving end of the motor 201a, a driving gear 201c sleeved on the outer wall of the driving shaft 201b, a bearing disc 201e fixed to the top of the driving shaft 201b, a limiting arc block 201d fixed to the periphery of the bearing disc 201e, and a connecting block 201f arranged outside the bearing disc 201e;

[0038] The moving assembly 202 includes a connecting gear 202a arranged on one side of the driving gear 201c, a connecting gear ring 202b arranged on one side of the connecting gear 202a, a supporting disc 202c fixed to the bottom of the connecting gear ring 202b, a protruding block 202d fixed to the top of the connecting gear ring 202b, a contact column 202e arranged on the top of the connecting gear ring 202b, and a detection probe fixedly connected to the inner side of the contact column 202e.

[0039] Specifically, the driving gear 201c is meshed with the connecting gear 202a, the driving gear 201c and the driving shaft 201b are fixedly connected, the limiting arc block 201d is rotationally connected to the connecting block 201f, the connecting block 201f is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 101, the connecting gear 202a is meshed with the connecting gear ring 202b, the supporting disc 202c is rotationally connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 101, the driving end of the motor 201a passes through the driving shaft 201b, and the driving end of the motor 201a is rotationally connected to the driving shaft 201b.

[0040] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: first, the motor 201a is started, and the driving shaft 201b is rotated under the action of the motor 201a, and the driving shaft 201b is fixedly connected to the carrying disc 201e, and the carrying disc 201e serves as a carrier of the finished product to be detected, so when the carrying disc 201e rotates, the finished product will also rotate, thereby realizing a full-scale scanning of the finished product, and secondly, a driving gear 201c is connected to the bottom of the driving shaft 201b, and the driving gear 201c is meshed and connected with the connecting gear 202a, and the other end of the connecting gear 202a is meshed and connected with the connecting gear 202a. One side is meshed with the connecting gear ring 202b, so when the active gear 201c rotates, the connecting gear ring 202a can drive the connecting gear ring 202b to rotate, and the connecting gear ring 202b is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting gear ring 202b. The connecting gear ring 202b is formed into a hill-like shape after a series of cutting. When the protruding block 202d rotates, it will lift up the contact column 202e in turn, thereby driving the detection probe on one side of the contact column 202e to move, thereby realizing a more comprehensive scan of the finished product, making the detection of the finished product more comprehensive. Specific embodiment 2

[0042] See also Figure 2 and 3 On the basis of the specific embodiment 1, the detection component 203 includes a slide groove 203a opened inside the connecting block 201f, a protective cover 203b fixed to the top of the connecting block 201f, a strip hole opened on the inner side of the protective cover 203b, a spring 203c arranged inside the slide groove 203a, and a stop block 203d fixed to the top of the spring 203c.

[0043] Specifically, the protective cover 203b is slidably connected to the contact column 202e, the stop block 203d is fixedly connected to the contact column 202e, the end of the spring 203c is fixedly connected to the end of the stop block 203d, and the other end of the spring 203c is fixedly connected to the inside of the slide groove 203a. The width of the strip hole set on the protective cover 203b is greater than the diameter of the detection probe set on the contact column 202e, and the detection probe is set inside the strip hole.

[0044] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: during the rotation of the driving shaft 201b, the limiting arc block 201d will also rotate, and during the rotation of the limiting arc block 201d, the contact column 202e will be forced to move upward. When the contact column 202e moves upward, it will drive the detection probe on one side to move upward. When the limiting arc block 201d continues to rotate, it will detach from the contact column 202e, and will contact the next contact column 202e to lift it up. When the limiting arc block 201d detaches from a contact column 202e, the contact column 202e will return to its original position under the action of the spring 203c, thereby realizing the up and down reciprocating movement of the contact column 202e, and indirectly achieving the up and down movement of the detection probe, thereby realizing a more comprehensive scanning and detection of the finished product.

[0045] It should be noted that the curvature and height of the limiting arc block 201d can be adaptively adjusted according to the height of the finished product, so as to facilitate more comprehensive scanning and detection of the finished product. Specific embodiment three

[0047] See also Figure 5 On the basis of the specific embodiment 1 and the specific embodiment 2, it also includes an installation component 300, including a limiting groove 301 opened inside the supporting disk 201e, a guide wheel 302 arranged inside the limiting groove 301, a tension spring 303 arranged on the guide wheel 302, a connecting rod 305 arranged on one side of the guide wheel 302, a hinge seat 304 arranged on one side of the connecting rod 305, and an arc plate 306 fixed to one side of the hinge seat 304.

[0048] Specifically, the guide wheels 302 cooperate with each other and are evenly arranged inside the limiting groove 301. The guide wheels 302 are slidably connected to the limiting groove 301. The connecting rod 305 is hinged to the guide wheels 302. The two ends of the tension spring 303 are respectively fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two adjacent guide wheels 302.

[0049] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: first, the additively manufactured finished product is installed, and the arc plate 306 is pushed outward. At this time, under the action of the connecting rod 305, the distance between the two guide wheels 302 connected by the tension spring 303 will become larger, that is, the tension spring 303 is deformed and stretched at this time, and then the finished product is placed inside the circular receiving groove formed by the arc plate 306, and then the arc plate 306 is released. Due to the deformation of the tension spring 303, a reset effect will inevitably occur, thereby pulling the guide wheels 302 back and approaching each other, so that the distance between the connecting rods 305 becomes smaller, and indirectly pushing the arc plate 306 to move inward, that is, the space formed by the arc plate 306 will become smaller, thereby clamping the finished product.
