The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.
[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 7This utility model provides a laser additive manufacturing fixture, including a fixture base 10. A worktable 20 is disposed on the top of the fixture base 10, and an electromagnetic relay is electrically connected to the bottom of the fixture base 10. When energized, the worktable 20 becomes magnetic, allowing the fixture assembly to be adsorbed onto the worktable 20, ensuring the stability of the fixture assembly in clamping the substrate. A movable groove is formed on the side of the worktable 20 facing away from the fixture base 10. A positioning bearing 26 is fixedly disposed in the movable groove, dividing the movable groove into a first groove 51 and a second groove 52. A bidirectional screw 21 rotates. The positioning bearing 26 is connected, and the external thread of the bidirectional screw 21 located in the first groove 51 is opposite in direction to the external thread located in the second groove 52; the movable slider includes a first slider 24 and a second slider 25, the bidirectional screw 21 of the first groove 51 is screwed to the first slider 24, and the bidirectional screw 21 of the second groove 52 is screwed to the second slider 25; the upper plate of the slider includes a first plate 22 and a second plate 23, the top of the first slider 24 is connected to the first plate 22, and the top of the second slider 25 is connected to the second plate 23. When the bidirectional screw 21 is rotated, since the bidirectional screw 21 does not move relative to the worktable 20, and the first slider 24 is fixedly connected to the first plate 22, and the second slider 25 is fixedly connected to the second plate 23, the sliders will move relative to the bidirectional screw 21 when the bidirectional screw 21 rotates. That is, the bidirectional screw 21 can make the moving sliders move towards or away from each other simultaneously. A positioning block 27 is provided on the side of the first plate 22 facing away from the first slider 24. The positioning block 27 is used to connect the first clamp 36. The connection method between the second plate 23 and the second clamp 37 is the same as that between the first plate 22 and the second clamp 37. The clamp assembly is detachably connected to the upper plate of the slider.
[0030] The clamping assembly includes a first clamp 36 and a second clamp 37. The first clamp 36 includes a clamping base plate 30, a circular pressure rod 31, and a clamping arm 32. The clamping base plate 30 is detachably connected to the first plate 22. The clamping base plate 30 has a connecting groove on the side facing the first plate 22. The position of the connecting groove is adapted to the size and position of the positioning block 27. The clamping base plate 30 has a sliding groove on the side facing away from the first plate 22. The circular pressure rod 31 is rotatably connected in the sliding groove. The sliding groove is used to limit the movement trajectory of the circular pressure rod 31. The circular pressure rod 31 is fixedly connected to the clamping arm 32. The two clamping arms 32 extend towards each other. The clamping arms 32 are driven by the circular pressure rod 31 to move their front ends downward, so that the clamping arms 32 clamp the plate. The clamping arm 32 includes a first arm and a second arm, which connect to opposite ends of the circular pressure rod 31. The end of the first arm facing away from the circular pressure rod 31 is connected to the end of the second arm facing away from the circular pressure rod 31 via a positioning pin 33. The positioning pin 33 is screwed onto a screw rod 34, and the end of the screw rod 34 facing away from the positioning pin 33 is screwed onto the clamping base plate 30. The clamping base plate 30 has several bolt holes 35, which are used to adjust the position of the screw rod 34 on the clamping base plate 30 when the position of the positioning pin 33 on the screw rod 34 changes. By adjusting the position of the positioning pin 33 on the screw rod 34, the initial height of the clamping arm 32 is controlled to adapt to the thickness of the base plate. The second clamp 37 has the same structure as the first clamp 36, and the two are symmetrically arranged.
[0031] A heating plate 40 is provided on the worktable 20. The heating plate 40 has an adjustable temperature and is located between the two clamping assemblies. Temperature detection devices are provided at the four corners and the center of the heating plate 40. The operator can use the temperature detection devices to achieve precise control of the substrate temperature range.
[0032] The bidirectional screw 21 extends from the end opposite to the positioning bearing 24 onto the worktable 20, allowing the operator to adjust the bidirectional screw 21. The fixture base 10, the worktable 20, the bidirectional screw 21, the movable slider, the upper plate of the slider, and the fixture base plate 30 are all metal components. When the electromagnetic relay is working, it ensures that the fixture assembly is adsorbed onto the worktable 20, ensuring that the fixture assembly firmly clamps the base plate.
[0033] In use, turn on the electromagnetic relay to allow the clamp assembly to adhere to the worktable 20. Place the substrate on the heating plate 40, rotate the bidirectional screw 21 to move the sliding slider, causing the upper plate of the slider to move relative to it. The upper plate of the slider moves the clamp assembly to a suitable position. Adjust the position of the positioning pin 33 on the screw 34 to make the initial position of the clamp arm 32 reach a suitable height to match the substrate thickness. Rotate the circular pressure rod 31 to make the front end of the clamp arm 32 rotate around the positioning pin 33, so that the clamp arm 32 presses down to achieve the purpose of clamping. When it is necessary to replace the clamp, turn off the switch of the electromagnetic relay, remove the clamp assembly from the sliding upper plate, select a suitable clamp assembly according to the substrate size, and align the connecting groove of the clamp base 30 with the position of the positioning block 27 of the sliding upper plate. By adjusting the bidirectional screw 21 and the positioning pin 33, the clamping assembly meets the dimensional requirements for substrate clamping, simplifying operation and enabling rapid clamping and fixing of laser additive manufacturing substrates. This adaptable to substrates of varying widths solves the problems of low clamping efficiency and poor adaptability of clamps to substrates of different sizes in existing laser additive manufacturing processes. Furthermore, by incorporating a temperature detection device, the substrate temperature can be further controlled, reducing the temperature gradient and thermal stress in the finished additive product.

[0035] The above-described embodiments are merely one implementation of this utility model, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
