Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of powder recovery equipment, in particular to a powder recovery device for laser cladding equipment. Background Art

[0002] Laser cladding is an advanced surface engineering technology that uses a high-energy laser beam to precisely heat and melt the substrate surface and the pre-placed cladding material to form a metallurgically bonded surface coating to enhance the performance of the substrate. In laser cladding, first place or continuously feed the cladding material on the surface of the processed substrate, such as spraying metal powder, so that the laser beam is focused on this area and quickly heated to above the melting point, so that the thin layer on the surface of the substrate is melted together with the cladding material. During the laser cladding process, there will be a problem of metal powder and welding slag flying. In order to avoid waste of resources, the metal powder mixed with the welding slag needs to be recovered and reused.

[0003] In the prior art, a recovery device is used to recover the powder produced by laser cladding, such as a laser cladding powder recovery device disclosed in the patent with authorization announcement number CN212856652U. In the device, metal powder mixed with welding slag is screened by filter mesh No. 1 and filter mesh No. 2, so that large particles of impurity waste such as welding slag are separated from the metal powder. However, when the device is used for screening, the screen holes may be blocked by compacted metal powder or other impurity particles, affecting the screening effect. After the screening is completed, a large amount of metal powder will remain on the screen due to electrostatic adsorption and other reasons, resulting in the metal powder cannot be completely recovered, causing waste.

[0035] A material guide channel 5 is installed on the frame 1, and the entrance of the material guide channel 5 extends to the top of the frame 1. The bottom end of the material guide channel 5 is inverted cone shape. The filter box 4 is inserted at the entrance of the material guide channel 5 so that the metal powder extracted by the suction component is directly discharged into the material guide channel 5 after being filtered by the filter box 4.

[0036] A sieve plate 6 is provided on the frame 1 below the material guide channel 5. The bottom of the sieve plate 6 has a sieve 601. The sieve plate 6 is square, and the length direction of the sieve plate 6 is defined as the left-right direction, and the width direction is the front-back direction. A toggle assembly is provided at the sieve plate 6, and the toggle assembly includes a toggle drive member and a toggle member. The toggle member includes a connecting shaft 7 and a plurality of toggle blocks 8. The connecting shaft 7 extends in the front-back direction, and the plurality of toggle blocks 8 are evenly spaced on the connecting shaft 7 in the front-back direction.

The toggle rod 801 is made of rubber material and has elasticity. Each toggle block 8 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 7 through a connecting ring and fixed to the connecting shaft 7 by welding.

[0037] The front side wall and the rear side wall of the sieve plate 6 are each provided with a long through hole 602 extending in the left-right direction, and the two ends of the connecting shaft 7 pass through the long through holes 602 on the front side wall and the rear side wall of the sieve plate 6, respectively, so that the connecting shaft 7 can be slidably installed on the sieve plate 6 in the left-right direction. The above-mentioned toggle driving member includes a driving motor 9, a transmission gear 10, and a transmission rack 11. The transmission rack 11 extends in the left-right direction and is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the rear side of the sieve plate 6.

Then, the push motor 12 is started, and the push motor 12 drives the rotating shaft 14 and the push cam 13 to rotate, so that the protruding part of the push cam 13 pushes the sieve plate 6 intermittently, so that the sieve plate 6 shakes, and the metal powder discharged into the sieve plate 6 is screened twice, and the screened powder falls into the collection box 16 below the sieve plate 6. When the powder in the sieve plate 6 is screened, the drive motor 9 is started, and the drive motor 9 drives the connecting shaft 7 to roll in the left and right directions, drives the toggle rod 801 to roll in the left and right directions, and the toggle rod 801 intermittently scratches the sieve 601, and the metal powder adhering to the sieve 601 is shaken into the collection box 16, completing the recycling process. After the collecting box 16 is filled with metal powder, the collecting box 16 is pulled out from the frame 1 and the recovered metal powder is poured out.

[0041] The utility model can scrape the screen by arranging a toggle component, so as to shake off the metal powder adhering to the screen, and more fully recover the metal powder to avoid waste.

The transmission screw is connected to the driving motor in a transmission manner, the transmission nut is spirally matched with the transmission screw, the connecting shaft is connected to the transmission nut, and the toggle block is a disc structure mounted on the connecting shaft. At this time, the transmission screw is driven to rotate by the driving motor, driving the transmission nut to move in the left and right directions, thereby driving the connecting shaft to slide in the left and right directions so that the toggle block with a disc structure scratches the screen to shake off the powder.

[0043] In this embodiment, the pushing mechanism includes a pushing motor, a pushing cam, a rotating shaft and an elastic member, and the reciprocating movement of the sieve plate is realized by the cooperation between the pushing cam and the elastic member. In other embodiments, the pushing mechanism includes a pushing motor and a crank-connecting rod structure, and the crank-connecting rod structure is connected to the sieve plate. The pushing motor drives the crank-connecting rod structure to move, thereby driving the sieve plate to slide back and forth.

[0044] In this embodiment, the discharge end of the suction component is connected to a filter box, which is used to filter large particles of impurities in the extracted metal powder. In other embodiments, the discharge end of the suction component is not connected to the filter box. In this case, the extracted powder is directly discharged into the sieve plate for screening without being filtered.
