[0077] The following specific embodiments are exemplary and not limiting, and are intended to provide a basic understanding of this application, and are not intended to identify key or decisive elements of this application or limit the scope of protection. As long as there is no structural conflict, the technical features mentioned in the various embodiments can be combined in any manner.

[0078] When a component is considered to be "located" on another component, it can be directly on the other component or may also be interspersed with other components. When a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or may also be interspersed with other components.

[0079] The following describes some embodiments of this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0080] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This application provides a metal printing heat treatment apparatus 100, including a feeding mechanism 10, a forming mechanism 20, and a discharging mechanism 30. The feeding mechanism 10 includes a feeding bin 11 and a feeding device 12, with the feeding device 12 disposed inside the feeding bin 11, which is used to hold the material 200 to be printed.

[0081] In some embodiments, the forming mechanism 20 includes a forming chamber 21 and a printing device 22 disposed within the forming chamber 21. The forming chamber 21 is connected to the feeding chamber 11 via a feeding sealing door assembly 40. The printing device 22 can be a DED (Direct Energy Deposition) metal printing device or an SLM (Selective Laser Melting) metal printing device.

[0082] In some embodiments, the unloading mechanism 30 includes an unloading bin 31 and a heat treatment device 32 and an unloading device 33 disposed within the unloading bin 31. The forming bin 21 and the unloading bin 31 are connected by an unloading sealing door assembly 50.

[0083] In some embodiments, the metal printing heat treatment equipment 100 includes a ventilation mechanism 60, which includes a loading bin ventilation component 61 and a discharging bin ventilation component 62. The loading bin ventilation component 61 is connected to the loading bin 11 and is used to clean the loading bin 11. The discharging bin ventilation component 62 is connected to the discharging bin 31 and is used to clean the discharging bin 31.

[0084] In some embodiments, when the oxygen content in the feeding hopper 11 is lower than a first preset value, the feeding sealing door assembly 40 opens, connecting the forming hopper 21 with the feeding hopper 11. The material to be printed 200 is moved into the forming hopper 21, and the printing device 22 prints the material to be printed 200 into the finished material 300.

[0085] In some embodiments, when the oxygen content in the discharge hopper 31 is lower than a first preset value, the discharge sealing door assembly 50 opens, connecting the forming hopper 21 and the discharge hopper 31. The finished material 300 is moved into the discharge hopper 31, and the heat treatment equipment 32 performs heat treatment on the finished material 300. This allows the finished material 300 to be heat-treated directly within the discharge hopper 31, ensuring that the mechanical properties of the finished material 300 meet design requirements. Since the gas inside the discharge hopper 31 has undergone gas scrubbing treatment, the heat treatment process does not require further gas scrubbing, thus saving scrubbing time and costs associated with heat treatment.

[0086] The connection between the forming chamber 21 and the feeding chamber 11 is controlled by the feeding sealing door assembly 40. The feeding mechanism 10 supplies the material to be printed 200, enabling the forming mechanism 20 to continue production and reducing the time spent on re-washing after printing. The connection between the forming chamber 21 and the discharging chamber 31 is controlled by the discharging sealing door assembly 50.
