Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of laser cladding nozzles, in particular to a laser cladding nozzle cooling device. Background Art
[0002] Laser cladding is a surface modification technology, which is widely used in the strengthening or modification of substrate surface properties or surface repair, etc. It can significantly improve the substrate surface hardness, corrosion resistance and wear resistance. The nozzle is one of the indispensable parts in laser cladding work. Laser cladding is also called laser melting or laser cladding, which is a new surface modification technology. It forms a metallurgically bonded additive cladding layer on the surface of the base by adding cladding material to the surface of the substrate and using a high-energy-density laser beam to melt it together with a thin layer on the surface of the substrate. The use of laser cladding technology has two important functions in the hydraulic support manufacturing industry: the first is that in the manufacturing process, this technology is used to modify the surface of the cylinder rod, column, etc., to enhance the surface corrosion resistance, wear resistance and strength; the second is that in the repair of worn and scrapped hydraulic support columns, the columns can be repaired quickly.
[0003] However, some related cladding nozzle technologies lack the function of cooling the nozzle. During the cladding process, the bottom of the laser cladding nozzle is very close to the molten pool. The laser cladding nozzle has to withstand the high heat caused by laser reflection and thermal radiation from the molten pool. As the laser cladding nozzle works continuously, the heat will continue to accumulate and the temperature will continue to rise, which will eventually cause the laser cladding nozzle to overheat and be damaged, which will reduce the service life of the laser cladding nozzle and is not conducive to the long-term use of the laser cladding nozzle. Therefore, it is urgent to design a laser cladding nozzle cooling device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
