[0060] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0061] Example 1
[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, a three-axis machine tool integrated electric arc additive manufacturing equipment includes a three-axis machine tool 3, an additive head mechanism 4, a balancing crane assembly 2, a process cabinet 1, and a dual-station automatic exchange worktable 5. The spindle and spindle casting of the three-axis machine tool 3 are removed, the additive head mechanism 4 is installed on the Z-axis, and then the gun cable is connected to the process cabinet 1 via the balancing crane assembly 2.
[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, the additive manufacturing head mechanism 4 includes a slider connecting plate 12, an intermediate connecting block 9, a welding torch connecting assembly 11, a flip cover 10, a fume extraction and dust removal assembly 7, a molten pool camera 8, a welding torch 6, etc. The rear side of the slider connecting plate 12 is mounted on the Z-axis slider of the three-axis machine tool 3. The front side of the slider connecting plate 12 is connected to the intermediate connecting block 9. The welding torch connecting assembly 11 is mounted on the intermediate connecting block 9. The welding torch 6 is installed inside the welding torch connecting assembly 11 to ensure that the axis of the welding torch 6 is coaxial with the spindle of the three-axis machine tool. The fume extraction and dust removal assembly 7 is arranged around the welding torch 6. The fume extraction and dust removal assembly 7 is connected to the built-in dust collection box of the process cabinet 1 through a wear-resistant hose.
[0064] like Figure 4As shown, the wear-resistant hose is a black corrugated tube 13 (nylon material). The corrugated tube 13 is inserted into the workpiece 15 and connected to the smoke extraction and dust removal assembly 7. The cover plate 14 surrounding the corrugated tube 13 secures the corrugated tube 13 to the workpiece 15.
[0065] The flip cover 10 can be opened for maintenance of the welding torch 6. The flip cover 10 is located on the welding torch connecting assembly 11. After the flip cover 10 is opened, it is convenient to thread the welding torch 6.
[0066] A weld pool camera 8 is provided on the lower surface of the welding torch connection assembly 11, and the frame rate of the weld pool camera 8 is...
[0067] ≥100fps, used for real-time acquisition of molten pool images.
[0068] like Figure 4 As shown, the welding torch connecting assembly 11 includes a torch head locking lower housing 17, a stainless steel corrugated pipe 16, and a fume extraction and dust removal assembly 7 connected sequentially from bottom to top. The torch head locking lower housing 17 is used to fix the torch head of the welding torch 6. A fume extraction port is provided at the bottom end of the torch head locking lower housing 17. A gap is provided between the stainless steel corrugated pipe 16 and the welding torch 6, such as... Figure 3 As shown, a flue connects the gun head locking lower shell 17, the stainless steel corrugated pipe 16, and the smoke extraction and dust removal assembly 7. The built-in dust removal box of the process cabinet 1 is connected to the smoke extraction motor. When the smoke extraction motor is started, dust removal is achieved in the electric arc additive manufacturing process.
[0069] In this embodiment, the process cabinet 1 is a modular cabinet that integrates a welding machine (TPS4000 CMT ADV), a wire feeder (supporting 0.8-1.6mm welding wire), an industrial control computer (running IungoPNT software), and a Siemens PLC.
[0070] The cabinet connects to the three-axis machine tool via a standardized quick-connect interface (such as an aviation quick-connect plug), which includes power supply, air circuit, network cable and USB interface, enabling plug-and-play functionality.
[0071] Process cabinet 1 is communicatively connected to three-axis machine tool 3. The wire feeder is the welding torch 6. The molten pool image captured by the molten pool camera 8 is transmitted to the industrial control computer, which outputs and displays the image, allowing personnel to observe the molten pool image in real time. The industrial control computer, welding machine, three-axis machine tool 3, and molten pool camera 8 are all communicatively connected to a Siemens PLC. All electrical components in this embodiment are powered by a power supply.
[0072] In this embodiment, the balancing hoist assembly 2 is used to hoist the welding torch 6's cable and the molten pool camera 8's cable to the process cabinet 1. The welding torch 6's cable is connected to the welding machine, and the molten pool camera 8's cable is connected to the industrial control computer. The balancing hoist assembly 2 is also used to hoist the corrugated pipe 13 of the fume extraction and dust removal assembly 7 to the built-in dust collection box of the process cabinet 1.
[0073] In this embodiment, the industrial computer communicates bidirectionally with the three-axis machine tool CNC system (Siemens / FANUC) to synchronize the additive manufacturing path and the motion coordinates of the three-axis machine tool.
[0074] The PLC monitors parameters such as wire feeding speed and welding current in real time, and triggers an emergency stop of the three-axis machine tool when abnormalities occur.
[0075] This structure is mainly designed to quickly convert old machine tools into additive manufacturing equipment in some 3C industries. Currently, some 3C industries, such as laptop motherboards, mainly rely on thick blanks to process the motherboard and studs on the motherboard, which wastes a lot of materials. By using the modified three-axis additive manufacturing equipment, studs can be directly added to thin motherboards, which can greatly reduce material waste.
[0076] Example 2
[0077] The only difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that:
[0078] The dual-station automatic exchange workbench 5 in this embodiment has the following structure:
[0079] The dual-station automatic exchange worktable 5 includes a support frame 19. A first cylinder 20 and a second cylinder 30 are horizontally arranged on the frame 19 in a left-right direction. The left movable stage 21 moves left and right under the drive of the first cylinder 20, and the right movable stage 29 moves left and right under the drive of the second cylinder 30. A first clamping base plate push-pull block 22 is provided on the upper surface of the left movable stage 21, and the first clamping base plate push-pull block 22 is mounted on a first rodless cylinder 23. A first base plate slide rail 26 is also provided on the upper surface of the left movable stage 21. The first rodless cylinder 23 is connected to the first clamping base plate 24, and the first clamping base plate 24 can slide back and forth on the first base plate slide rail 26. The upper surface of the three-axis machine tool 3 below the welding torch 6 is a three-axis working platform. A zero-point positioning mechanism 25 is provided on the three-axis working platform, and a first positioning element adapted to the zero-point positioning mechanism 25 is provided on the first clamping base plate 24.
[0080] Specifically, such as Figures 6-8As shown, a base plate 31 is locked onto the three-axis work platform. A cylindrical zero-point positioning mechanism 25 is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the base plate 31. Several guide posts 32 are evenly distributed around the zero-point positioning mechanism 25. A pressure plate 33 is provided on the upper surface of the zero-point positioning mechanism 25. The side of the pressure plate 33 is an inverted L-shaped step. Two auxiliary plates 34 (symmetrically arranged) are connected to the lower surface of the first clamping base plate 24. The opposite surfaces of the two auxiliary plates 34 are provided with positive L-shaped steps that match the inverted L-shaped steps of the pressure plate 33. This arrangement allows the first clamping base plate 24 and the pressure plate 33 to form an interlocking structure. The clamping plate 33 is provided with a guide groove for matching the guide post 32. The zero-point positioning mechanism 25 has a range of vertical movement (the zero-point positioning mechanism 25 is pneumatically telescopic; the base plate 31 is provided with a vent 36, and the base plate 31 is an air plate; forward and reverse ventilation are used to control the telescopic movement of the zero-point positioning mechanism 25). When the first clamping base plate 24 and the clamping plate 33 form an interlocking structure, forward ventilation causes the zero-point positioning mechanism 25 to descend, driving the clamping plate 33 and the first clamping base plate 24 to descend. The lower surface of the auxiliary plate 34 is provided with a pin sleeve, and the upper surface of the base plate 31 is provided with a pin 35 that matches the pin sleeve. During the descent of the first clamping base plate 24, the pin 35 inserts into the pin sleeve to achieve positioning and locking. Reverse ventilation causes the zero-point positioning mechanism 25 to rise, and the pin 35 is removed from the pin sleeve, allowing the first clamping base plate 24 to be smoothly transported out.
[0081] Similarly, a second clamping base plate push-pull block 28 is provided on the upper surface of the right moving stage 29. The second clamping base plate push-pull block 28 is mounted on the second rodless cylinder 27. A second base plate slide rail is also provided on the upper surface of the right moving stage 29. The second rodless cylinder 27 is connected to the second clamping base plate, and the second clamping base plate can slide back and forth on the second base plate slide rail. A zero-point positioning mechanism 25 is provided on the upper surface of the three-axis machine tool 3 below the welding torch 6. A second positioning element adapted to the zero-point positioning mechanism 25 is provided on the second clamping base plate.
[0082] The positioning, locking, and smooth transport structure of the second clamping base plate push-pull block 28 is the same as that of the first clamping base plate 24.
[0083] The operating logic of this embodiment is as follows: The left moving stage 21 moves from the left to the middle position, and the first clamping substrate 24 is sent onto the zero-point positioning mechanism 25 by the first rodless cylinder 23. The zero-point positioning mechanism 25 is locked, and additive manufacturing begins. After additive manufacturing is completed, the zero-point positioning mechanism 25 is unlocked, and the first rodless cylinder 23 drives the first clamping substrate 24 to exit onto the left moving stage 21. The left moving stage 21 moves to the left, and the right moving stage 29 moves from the right to the middle position. The second clamping substrate is sent onto the zero-point positioning mechanism 25 by the second rodless cylinder 27. The zero-point positioning mechanism 25 is locked, and additive manufacturing begins. After additive manufacturing is completed, the zero-point positioning mechanism 25 is unlocked, and the second rodless cylinder 27 drives the second clamping substrate to exit onto the right moving stage 29. The right moving stage 29 moves to the right, and the operation is repeated in this cycle.
[0084] The first clamping substrate 24 and the second clamping substrate are used to clamp the notebook baseboard to be added. Since clamping takes time, this embodiment can realize continuous additive manufacturing through the dual-station automatic exchange worktable 5, thereby saving time and improving efficiency.
[0085] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
