The invention discloses
atmosphere-controllable top-mounted online
powder supply
powder bed additive manufacturing equipment. The equipment is free of a
powder cylinder, comprises a powder melting or bonding working head, an x-y scanning
system, a working box, a forming cylinder, a powder laying mechanism, a platform and a
control system, and also adopts a top-mounted online powder recycling and feeding
system to recycle and process overflowing powder on line and feed powder required by each layer to a
powder bed on line in real time;
smoke dust in a working cavity is removed by adopting a gas circulating
filtration system, and the
atmosphere in the cavity is purified; a working cavity is sealed, and a gas detection and replacement system is adopted for online monitoring and real-time adjustment of gas components and pressure in the working cavity; an
atmosphere temperature measurement and
control system is adopted to monitor the atmosphere temperature in the working cavity on line,
water cooling is conducted timely, and the atmosphere temperature is adjusted. The device has the beneficial effects that the powder
utilization rate is increased, the stability of the additive manufacturing process is improved, process interruption is avoided, the forming quality is ensured, powder
combustion and explosion are prevented, the
machine structure is compact, and parts are precisely matched.
