The invention discloses a
laser cladding
powder feeder, and belongs to the technical field of
laser cladding. The
laser cladding
powder feeder comprises a
powder storage device and a powder feeding head, wherein the powder storage device comprises a fixed disc, a group of storage cylinders are fixedly mounted at the top of the fixed disc, a mixing cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of thefixed disc, the storage cylinders communicate with the mixing cylinder through mixing pipes, powder discharging hoppers are fixedly connected to the middle of the storage cylinders, rotating wheels are arranged below the powder discharging hoppers, a mixed material
pipe and a powder feeding
pipe are fixedly arranged on the side wall of each rotating wheel, the top of the mixing cylinder communicates with an output
pipe, a homogenizing pipe is fixedly connected to the middle of the output pipe, homogenizing fan blades are fixedly installed in the middle of the homogenizing pipe, the output pipe communicates with a powder feeding head, the powder feeding head comprises a
water cooling sleeve, a protective sleeve and a powder feeding sleeve, a powder feeding channel is arranged between the powder feeding sleeve and the protective sleeve, an air curtain channel is arranged between the protective sleeve and the
water cooling sleeve, and a
water cooling cavity is formed in middle of the water cooling sleeve. According to the laser cladding powder feeder, with the arrangement of the multiple groups of the powder feeding paths, the flexible material utilization is achieved, the material waste is reduced, the mixing is simple and convenient, the ratio is accurate, the cladding quality is improved, and the powder
sintering blocking is avoided to a certain extent.
