[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, in the preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the multi-beam laser deposition printing head device 100 includes a printing head base 110, a plurality of shaping optical lens groups 120, a plurality of mounting seats 130, a plurality of fiber optic connectors 140, a plurality of laser position adjusting set screws 150, a plurality of printing head nozzles 160, a feed pipe 170 and a feed nozzle 180.

[0035] The printing head base 110 has opposite top end 111 and bottom end 112. The printing head base 110 has a feed channel 113 that penetrates the end faces of the top end 111 and the bottom end 112. The printing head base 110 has a plurality of laser channels 114 spaced around the feed channel 113. The distance between one end of the laser channel 114 located at the top end 111 and the feed channel 113 is greater than the distance between one end of the laser channel 114 located at the bottom end 112 and the feed channel 113. When the multi-beam deposition printing device including the multi-beam laser deposition printing head device 100 is located on a horizontal plane, the top end 111 and the bottom end 112 are respectively the upper end and the lower end of the printing head base 110. At this time, the laser channel 114 is a vertically arranged straight channel that penetrates the printing head base 110, and the laser channel 114 is an inclined channel with one end of the lower edge inclined towards the feed channel 113.

[0036] A plurality of shaping optical lens groups 120 are respectively installed in a one-to-one correspondence in a plurality of laser channels 114 to collimate and focus the laser beams in the laser channels 114.

[0037] A plurality of mounting seats 130 are respectively installed at the openings of a plurality of laser channels 114 located at the top end 111. The mounting seat 130 is formed with a mounting hole (not labeled in the figure) communicating with the corresponding laser channel 114. A plurality of laser position adjusting screw holes (not labeled in the figure) that are radially distributed and communicate with the mounting hole are spaced along the circumferential direction of the side wall of the mounting seat 130.

[0038] A plurality of fiber optic connectors 140 are respectively installed in a one-to-one correspondence in a plurality of mounting holes.

[0039] A plurality of laser position adjusting set screws 150 are respectively screwed into a plurality of laser position adjusting screw holes. One end of the laser position adjusting set screw 150 extends into the corresponding mounting hole and abuts against the side wall of the corresponding fiber optic connector 140.

[0040] A plurality of printing head nozzles 160 are respectively installed at one end of a plurality of laser channels 114 located at the bottom end 112.

[0041] The feed pipe 170 is installed in the feed channel 113. The feed nozzle 180 is installed at one end of the feed pipe 170 located at the bottom end 112.

[0042] During use, the feeding device in the multi-beam deposition printing equipment transports metal materials such as metal powder and metal wire through the feeding pipe 170 and the feeding nozzle 180 to the printing substrate 10. The optical fiber connector 140 is connected to the laser generator through an optical fiber, so that the laser beam generated by the laser generator can be transmitted into the laser channel 114. The shaping optical lens group 120 calibrates and focuses the laser beam in the laser channel 114 to realize the adjustment and matching correction of the multi-beam. Then, the laser beam is emitted from the printing head nozzle 160 onto the metal material on the printing substrate 10 to form a printing spot.

[0043] In practical applications, by using the pre-designed and adjusted shaping optical lens group 120, the focal length and spot size of the multi-beam laser focusing can be determined. Further, by turning one or several laser position adjusting set screws 150 on the mounting base 130, it can move back and forth in its respective laser position adjusting screw hole to adjust the position of the optical fiber connector 140 mounted on the mounting base 130. By adjusting the positions of the optical fiber connectors 140 on one or several mounting bases 130, the focusing spot of the multi-beam can be aligned with the feeding position of the coaxial material to achieve plug-and-play. Therefore, for the above multi-beam laser deposition printing head device 100, by simply turning the laser position adjusting set screw 150, it can ensure that the focusing spot of the multi-beam is aligned with the feeding position of the coaxial material. The whole process does not require an additional complex adjustment mechanism to perform secondary adjustment of the spot position. Therefore, while ensuring that the focusing spot of the multi-beam is accurately aligned with the feeding position of the coaxial material, the above multi-beam laser deposition printing head device 100 has a relatively simple structure, a smaller volume, and a lower manufacturing cost.

[0044] In some embodiments, a plurality of feeding position adjusting screw holes (not labeled in the figure) communicating with the outside are formed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the feeding channel 113. Each feeding position adjusting screw hole is screwed with a feeding position adjusting set screw. One end of the feeding position adjusting set screw extends into the feeding channel 113 and abuts against the side wall of the feeding pipe 170.

[0045] In practical applications, according to the adjustment direction required for the feeding position of the metal material, one or several feeding position adjusting set screws can also be selected to be turned to adjust the position of the feeding pipe 170 in the feeding channel 113, so that the feeding position of the coaxial material and the focusing spot of the multi-beam can be aligned, and the alignment work between the focusing spot of the multi-beam and the feeding position of the coaxial material can be realized without changing the shape and position of the focusing spot of the multi-beam.

[0046] In some embodiments, cooling channels 115 are formed inside the print head base 110 at positions close to the inner walls of each laser channel 114. The plurality of cooling channels 115 are connected in sequence. A cooling inlet 116 and a cooling outlet 117 are formed on the outer wall of the print head base 110, which are connected to the two ends of the plurality of cooling channels 115 connected in sequence respectively.

[0047] In the multi-beam deposition printing device, the cooling inlet 116 is connected to a cold source, so that the cooling medium of the cold source flows through each cooling channel 115 in sequence through the cooling inlet 116 and flows out from the cooling outlet 117. This can not only take away the heat generated by the energy loss of the laser beam at the shaping optical lens group 120, but also timely take away the radiant heat of the molten pool on the print head base 110, prevent thermal damage from occurring, and there is no need to configure an additional cooling system, achieving multi-purpose in one, and realizing the integration of the multi-beam laser deposition print head device 100.

[0048] Further, in some embodiments, the cooling channels 115 are arranged in a spiral shape along the central axis direction of the corresponding laser channels 114 to extend the length of each cooling channel 115 and increase the contact area between the inner wall of each cooling channel 115 and the cooling medium in the cooling channel 115, so as to further improve the cooling effect on the shaping optical lens group 120 and the print head base 110, further reduce the probability of thermal damage to the shaping optical lens group 120, and make the multi-beam laser deposition print head device 100 have a longer service life.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 3 as well. In some embodiments, the multi-beam laser deposition print head device 100 further includes an auxiliary feeding unit 201. The auxiliary feeding unit 201 includes a housing 2011, a feeding nozzle 2012, a receiving nozzle 2013, a wire feeding wheel set 2014 and a wire feeding driving member 2015. The housing 2011 is installed on the top end 111. The feeding nozzle 2012 and the receiving nozzle 2013 are coaxially arranged along the direction from the top end 111 to the bottom end 112, and are respectively installed at one end of the housing 2011 away from the print head base 110 and at one end of the housing 2011 close to the print head base 110. The receiving nozzle 2013 is communicated with one end of the feeding pipe 170 at the top end 111. The wire feeding wheel set 2014 includes a driving wheel 20141 and a driven wheel 20142 which are arranged at intervals along a direction perpendicular to the direction from the top end 111 to the bottom end 112. Both the driving wheel 20141 and the driven wheel 20142 are located between the feeding nozzle 2012 and the receiving nozzle 2013. The wire feeding driving member 2015 is in transmission connection with the driving wheel 20141.

[0050] When the feeding device conveys the metal wire into the feeding tube 170 through the auxiliary feeding unit 201, the metal wire is fed in from the feeding guide nozzle 180, passes through the gap between the driving wheel 20141 and the driven wheel 20142, and then enters the feeding tube 170 through the receiving guide nozzle 2013. At this time, the driving wheel 20141 can be driven to rotate by the wire feeding drive 2015 to cooperate with the driven wheel 20142 to provide the metal wire with a conveying force pointing from the top end 111 to the bottom end 112, so as to ensure that the metal wire can be fed into the molten pool at a preset speed.

[0051] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the driving wheel 20141 and the driven wheel 20142 are gears with circular arc teeth. The circular arc teeth can increase the contact area and friction coefficient between the metal wire and the driving wheel 20141 and the driven wheel 20142, thereby improving the reliability of the metal wire in the feeding tube 170.

[0052] Of course, in other embodiments, the driving wheel 20141 and the driven wheel 20142 may also be smooth pressure wheels, or pressure wheels with anti-slip grooves on the pressure roller surface.

[0053] Further, in some embodiments, there are two wire feeding wheel assemblies 2014. The two wire feeding wheel assemblies 2014 are spaced apart in a direction from the top end 111 to the bottom end 112. The wire feeding drive member 2015 is respectively connected to the two driving wheels 20141 for driving the two driving wheels 20141 to rotate synchronously.

[0054] In this way, the two wire feeding wheel groups 2014 provide two forces for the movement of the metal wire and provide two-point support for the metal wire, and guide the moving direction of the metal wire to ensure that the metal wire coming out of the feed guide nozzle 2012 can accurately enter the receiving guide nozzle 2013, further improving the transportation reliability of the metal wire.

[0055] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the auxiliary feeding unit 201 further includes a feed guide nozzle 2016 detachably mounted in the housing 2011. The feed guide nozzle 2016 is located between the two wire feeding wheel assemblies 2014 and is coaxially arranged with the receiving guide nozzle 2013 and the feeding guide nozzle 2012. The feed guide nozzle 2016 is arranged to support and guide the position of the metal wire between the two wire feeding wheel assemblies 2014, to avoid bending and deformation of the metal wire, and to further improve the reliability of the conveying of the metal wire.

[0056] Please also read Figure 4, Further, in some embodiments, the auxiliary feeding unit 201 further includes a powder feeding pipe 2017. Two ends of the powder feeding pipe 2017 are detachably connected to one end of the feeding nozzle 2012 close to the print head base 110 and one end of the material receiving nozzle 2013 facing the feeding nozzle 180 respectively. There is a gap between the powder feeding pipe 2017 and the driving wheel 20141.

[0057] When it is necessary to switch the feeding form from wire feeding to powder feeding, the powder feeding pipe 2017 can be connected between the feeding nozzle 2012 and the material receiving nozzle 2013 to ensure that the metal powder in the material receiving nozzle 2013 can smoothly enter the feeding pipe 170 through the material receiving nozzle 2013. At the same time, the powder feeding pipe 2017 and the driving wheel 20141 are arranged at intervals to ensure that the driving wheel 20141 will not drive the feeding pipe 170 to move when rotating, ensuring the safety and reliability of the powder feeding work.

[0058] When the auxiliary feeding unit 201 includes a material passing nozzle 2016, the material passing nozzle 2016 can be removed first, and then the powder feeding pipe 2017 can be installed between the feeding nozzle 2012 and the material receiving nozzle 2013, so as to realize the switching of the feeding form from wire feeding to powder feeding.

[0059] Therefore, in practical applications, by disassembling and assembling the powder feeding pipe 2017, the feeding form can be arbitrarily switched between powder feeding and wire feeding without replacing the dedicated powder feeding system pipeline and wire feeding system, and the operation is simple and convenient.

[0060] In some embodiments, a protective gas port (not shown in the figure) for conveying inert gas into each print head nozzle 160 is provided on the side wall of each print head nozzle 160. In the multi-beam deposition printing device, by connecting each protective gas port to the gas source of the inert gas, the inert gas can be conveyed into the corresponding print nozzle through the protective gas port, so as to establish a local atmosphere protection for the printing molten pool area and prevent the smoke and dust generated by the molten pool from polluting the shaping optical lens group 120.

[0061] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brief description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered to be within the scope described in this specification.

[0062] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present utility model. The description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model patent shall be subject to the appended claims. The present utility model relates to a multi-beam laser deposition printing head device. The multi-beam laser deposition printing head device includes a printing head base, a plurality of shaping optical lens groups, a plurality of mounting seats, a plurality of fiber optic connectors, a plurality of laser position adjusting set screws, a plurality of printing head nozzles, a feed pipe, and a feed nozzle. By turning one or several laser position adjusting set screws on the mounting seat to move them back and forth in their respective laser position adjusting screw holes, the position of the fiber optic connector mounted on the mounting seat can be adjusted. By adjusting the positions of the fiber optic connectors on one or several mounting seats, the focused light spots of multiple beams are aligned with the feeding position of the coaxial material. There is no need to additionally design a complex adjustment mechanism for secondary adjustment of the light spot position during the whole process. Therefore, while ensuring that the focused light spots of multiple beams can be accurately aligned with the feeding position of the coaxial material, the multi-beam laser deposition printing head device has the advantages of simple structure, small volume, and low manufacturing cost.
