In the present embodiment, powder stream 11 is irradiated by light beam, by the reacting condition of the grain density of powder stream 11 in across powder stream On the illumination of 11 light beam is strong, the illumination for passing through the light beam of powder stream 11 is converted to by force contrast potential signal, therefore, contrast potential Signal can be implemented to react the grain density of powder stream 11.It can be very by the comparison of contrast potential signal and reference voltage signal The variation for intuitively reflecting powder stream 11, that is, reflect the variation of 2 powder feed rate of powder feeder.According to contrast potential signal and benchmark The comparing result of voltage signal can very easily adjust the powder feed rate of powder feeder 2.During entire processing and manufacturing, Circulating repetition step S2 to step S4, i.e., the stabilization of controllable powder stream 11.
Specifically, light beam is emitted to powder stream 11 by said light source 41, is irradiated to illuminance across the light beam of powder stream 11 and passes On sensor 42, and intensity of illumination is detected by illuminance sensor 42 and is converted into contrast potential signal.In the present embodiment, pass through Aforementioned control box compares contrast potential signal with reference voltage signal.The reception comparing result of powder stream controller 3, and according to The powder feed rate of comparing result adjusting powder feeder 2.
Optionally, the preset reference voltage signal in step S1 specifically: and steady operation sufficient in 2 powder amount of powder feeder When, 11 illumination beam of Xiang Fenliu, and the intensity of illumination of the light beam across powder stream 11 is detected, intensity of illumination is converted into reference voltage Signal.In the present embodiment, the state with the sufficient simultaneously steady operation of 2 powder amount of powder feeder is basic state, at this point, powder stream 11 is stablized, The grain density of powder stream 11 is stablized, and the reference voltage signal measured is more accurate.
Optionally, the preset reference voltage signal in step S1 specifically may also is that manual preset reference voltage signal.? When laser powder feeding increasing material manufacturing device, according to processing and manufacturing demand, the powder feed rate of powder feeder 2 is set, in the present embodiment, manually Preset reference voltage signal is corresponding with the aforementioned setting powder feed rate of powder feeder 2.
Further, as shown in figure 5, in step S3, contrast potential signal is analog voltage signal, and comparison process includes will Analog voltage signal is compared with reference voltage signal, and quasi- voltage signal and reference voltage signal are carried out calculating difference, root It is converted into digital voltage signal according to the difference after calculating, digital voltage signal is comparing result.Powder feeding controller 3 is according to digital electricity Signal is pressed to adjust the powder feed rate of powder feeder 2.
Further, in step S3, with fixed frequency collection analog voltage signal, by the analog voltage signal of acquisition Calculating difference is carried out with reference voltage signal.Therefore, in step s 4, powder feeder is specifically adjusted according to digital voltage signal 2 powder feed rate.
In the present embodiment, preset reference voltage signal corresponds to the preset fixed powder feed rate of powder feeder 2, i.e., corresponding default Powder stream 11 grain density.In the difference of analog voltage signal and reference voltage signal, difference is timing, then analog voltage is believed Number value be greater than reference voltage signal value, at this time the grain density of powder stream 11 be less than powder corresponding with preset reference voltage signal The grain density of stream 11, powder stream controller 3 control the quickening of powder feeder 2 and divide disk rotating speed, accelerate powder feed rate;When difference is negative, then The value of analog voltage signal is less than the value of reference voltage signal, and the grain density of powder stream 11 is greater than at this time believes with preset reference voltage The grain density of number corresponding powder stream 11, powder stream controller 3 control the reduction of powder feeder 2 and divide disk rotating speed, reduce powder feed rate;Difference When being zero, then the value of analog voltage signal is equal to the value of reference voltage signal, and the grain density of powder stream 11 is equal to and presets at this time The grain density of the corresponding powder stream 11 of reference voltage signal, powder stream controller 3 control powder feeder 2 and keep existing point of disk rotating speed, send Powder speed does not increase.
Further, according to difference positive and negative and zero, three different digital voltage signals are converted into.Specifically, digital Voltage signal is the voltage signal that more than two and value is 0 or 1, such as 00,11 and 01 or 010,101 and 111, powder flow control Device 3 processed receives digital voltage signal, and the powder feed rate of powder feeder 2 is adjusted according to the combination of the value in digital voltage signal.Powder stream The digital voltage signal that controller 3 receives and positive difference to it is corresponding when powder stream controller 3 control powder feeder 2 and accelerate powder feed rate; The digital voltage signal that powder stream controller 3 receives and negative difference to it is corresponding when powder stream controller 3 control powder feeder 2 and reduce powder feeding Speed;The digital voltage signal that powder stream controller 3 receives and difference value of zero to it is corresponding when powder stream controller 3 control powder feeder 2 and keep Existing powder feed rate.
Further, as shown in fig. 6, in the present embodiment, step S1 further includes presetting the amplitude of accommodation, in step S3, quasi- After voltage signal and reference voltage signal carry out calculating difference, difference and the amplitude of accommodation are compared, adjusted when difference is more than or equal to When amplitude, then digital voltage signal is converted into according to the difference after calculating;When difference is less than the amplitude of accommodation, it is not converted into number Voltage signal.In the present embodiment, when difference is less than the amplitude of accommodation, powder stream is varied less at this time, without adjusting powder feeder, works as difference When more than or equal to this amplitude of accommodation, powder stream controller 3 adjusts powder feeder 2, can so reduce the adjusting frequency of powder feeder 2.This In the actual processing process, the size of the amplitude of accommodation is changed according to specific production status.
In the present embodiment, difference and amplitude of accommodation comparison are referred to and compare the absolute value of difference and the amplitude of accommodation.Specifically Ground, in the present embodiment, the occurrence of the amplitude of accommodation is more than or equal to the 5% of reference voltage signal.
