The application discloses a
tungsten electrode rotary
welding gun for
electric arc additive manufacturing and belongs to the technical field of additive manufacturing. The
tungsten electrode rotary
welding gun comprises a base for connecting an additive manufacturing device, a DD motor fixed at the lower end of the base, a sliding sleeve
assembly connected at the lower end of the DD motor, the sliding sleeve
assembly comprising a rotating sleeve driven by the DD motor, a wire
guide tube with the upper end fixed to the base and the lower end penetrating the shaft center of the DD motor and the sliding sleeve, a wire guide
nozzle fixed at the lower end of the wire
guide tube, a
tungsten electrode module fixed at the lower end of the rotating sleeve, the
tungsten electrode module comprising a tungsten needle matched with the wire guide
nozzle, and when the DD motor rotates, the tungsten needle rotates around the wire guide
nozzle to form a ring-shaped heat source. The tungsten needle rotating around the wire guide nozzle provides a near-ring heat source for the
welding wire, and the coaxial feeding of the welding wire and the central axis of the welding gun avoids the problem of the dependence of the non-melting electrode side-axis wire feeding
electric arc additive manufacturing on the wire feeding direction, and the
tungsten electrode rotary welding gun is suitable for manufacturing large components with multiple
layers and complex shapes and has the characteristics of flexibility, high efficiency and high precision.
