In the current spray gun design, a rectifying sieve is utilized to rectify and disperse non-axially input spraying gas, but the rectifying sieve is used for rectifying the gas in a straight hole plate mode, the spraying gas forms a gas form which moves in parallel with axial powder feeding gas through rectification, so that the heat transfer between two groups of gas is slow, the acceleration effect of the powder by the spraying gas is poor, the gas velocity in a gun is uneven, the powder velocity is far lower than the spraying gas velocity, and the like, and the pneumatic spraying performance is unstable.
The cold spraying spray gun provided by the invention has the advantages that under the aim of ensuring axial powder feeding to maintain the acceleration uniformity of powder, the radial input gas is subjected to dispersion and rotational flow guide treatment before gas-powder mixing, so that the spraying gas and the powder feeding gas can be rapidly fused and mixed with each other before entering the spray pipe 2, the mixed gas-powder jet flow keeps consistent with the acceleration direction (axial direction) of the spray gun, the stable and uniform distribution of the powder in the spray gun is maintained without being disturbed by the radial speed, and the acceleration effect and the spraying quality stability of the spray gun are greatly improved.
Referring to fig. 1, the present application provides a cold spray gun, which includes a gas-powder mixing chamber 1, a flow guiding screen 6 disposed in the gas-powder mixing chamber 1, and a powder supply pipe 4, a gas supply pipe 5 and a spray pipe 2 respectively connected to the gas-powder mixing chamber 1.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the gas-powder mixing chamber 1 is a carrier member in the spray gun into which spray powder and spray gas enter and mix. The outlet end 103 of the gas-powder mixing chamber 1 is connected with the spray pipe 2, the spraying powder and the spraying gas are uniformly mixed after entering the gas-powder mixing chamber 1 through a pipeline, and the mixed gas-powder mixed jet flows out of the outlet end 103 of the gas-powder mixing chamber 1 in the axial direction and enters the spray pipe 2. The connection part of the gas-powder mixing chamber 1 and the spray pipe 2 is sealed by adopting a cambered surface and is fixed by a locking nut 8.
The diversion screen 6 is arranged in the gas-powder mixing chamber 1 and divides the gas-powder mixing chamber 1 into a front section pipeline and a rear section pipeline; a front-section pipeline is arranged between the inlet end 101 of the gas-powder mixing chamber 1 and the flow guide sieve 6, and a rear-section pipeline is arranged between the outlet end 103 of the gas-powder mixing chamber 1 and the flow guide sieve 6.
Referring to fig. 4, a first through hole 601 is formed in the center of the diversion screen 6 along the axial direction of the gas-powder mixing chamber 1, one or more circles of circumferential through holes 602 are uniformly distributed around the first through hole 601, and the outer diameter of the diversion screen 6 is consistent with the inner diameter of the gas-powder mixing chamber 1, so that the gas can only enter the rear-section pipeline of the gas-powder mixing chamber 1 through the circumferential through holes 602 on the diversion screen 6 after entering the gas-powder mixing chamber 1. The circumferential through holes 602 are all transited to the other end face of the flow guide sieve 6 by uniform inclination or spiral degree, and disperse and guide the gas entering the gas-powder mixing chamber 1, so that the gas passes through the flow guide sieve 6 to form a rotational flow distributed along the axis, and the spraying gas can be mutually fused and mixed with the powder feeding gas input from the axis of the gas-powder mixing chamber 1 in a rotational flow mode after passing through the flow guide sieve 6 to form uniformly distributed gas-powder mixed jet flow, thereby improving the acceleration effect of the spraying gas on pushing the powder.
The powder supply pipe 4 is arranged along the axial direction of the gas-powder mixing chamber 1, and one end of the powder supply pipe 4 is inserted into the first through hole 601 of the flow guide sieve 6 so as to be used for axially feeding powder to the gas-powder mixing chamber 1.
The inlet end 101 of the gas-powder mixing chamber 1 is provided with a chamber cover 7, and the chamber cover 7 is in sealing connection with the inlet end 101 of the gas-powder mixing chamber 1 through a flange. A second through hole 701 penetrates through the center of the chamber cover 7 along the axial direction of the gas-powder mixing chamber 1, one end of the powder supply pipe 4 sequentially penetrates through the second through hole 701 of the chamber cover 7, the other end of the powder supply pipe is inserted into the first through hole 601 of the flow guide sieve 6, and the powder supply pipe 4 is externally connected with a powder conveying pipeline; the powder supply pipe 4 is connected with the second through hole 701 through threads, and the powder supply pipe 4 is connected with an external powder feeding pipeline through the second through hole 701.

Referring to fig. 5, in particular, the diversion screen 6 should be installed and fixed between the gas inlet 102 of the gas-powder mixing chamber 1 and the outlet end 103 of the gas-powder mixing chamber 1 to ensure that the spraying gas flows into the rear pipeline of the gas-powder mixing chamber 1 after passing through the diversion screen 6 after entering the gas-powder mixing chamber 1.
The gas supply pipe 5 is externally connected with a gas supply pipeline, a gas inlet 102 of the gas supply pipe 5 on the gas-powder mixing chamber 1 is positioned between an inlet end 101 of the gas-powder mixing chamber 1 and the flow guide screen 6, specifically, the gas inlet 102 is radially arranged along the chamber wall of the gas-powder mixing chamber 1, and the gas supply pipe 5 is communicated with the gas-powder mixing chamber 1 through the gas inlet 102. The design of axial powder feeding and radial gas feeding ensures that the movement direction of the spraying powder is consistent with the acceleration direction after the spraying powder enters the spray gun, avoids the turbulent flow phenomenon caused by velocity inertia when the spraying gas is input in the radial direction, and improves the stability of spraying because the powder is uniformly distributed in the spray gun; the spraying gas sent in the radial direction is subjected to dispersion guiding of the spraying gas by the aid of the diversion screen 6, so that the spraying gas enters the gas-powder mixing chamber 1 in a central rotational flow mode, and then is rapidly mixed with the powder feeding gas to form gas-powder mixed jet flow and keep axial movement to enter the spray pipe 2, the gas-powder mixed jet flow is accelerated uniformly and stably in the spray pipe 2, and pneumatic acceleration performance of the spray gun to the spraying powder is improved.

Preferably, the air supply pipe 5 has a bent portion at a right angle so that the air supply pipe is in the same direction as the powder supply pipe. Because need use mechanical mobile device for example manipulator centre gripping operation during the application, to different spraying contours, the range and the angle of removal are great, and the relative position can be fixed to two sets of pipelines behind the syntropy in the centre gripping removes spraying operation, and the input of unified gas, powder that carries on at an input makes things convenient for circuit layout and reduces the pipeline interference when the centre gripping removes spraying operation.
Referring to fig. 6, the nozzle 2 is a pipeline with a variable inner diameter, and the inner diameter is arranged in a pipe shape structure that gradually decreases and then gradually expands along the gas direction, i.e. the flow line changes in a manner of gradually decreasing and gradually expanding.
