This invention provides a follow-up clamping device for providing vortex gas to a
laser welding head to protect the workpiece being welded. The follow-up clamping device includes: a clamping body having a conical inner cavity; a connecting member, one end of which is connected to the
laser welding head; and an annular
gas supply member, through which gas is introduced from the large opening side of the conical inner cavity, converges and forms a vortex-like converging
airflow within the conical inner cavity, and is then ejected from the small opening side of the conical inner cavity, suitable for spraying towards the workpiece being welded. This invention solves the problems of unstable
gas protection and the existence of protection dead zones in existing technologies, as well as the problem of severe
plasma shielding effects affecting
welding depth and energy transmission in existing technologies. It also solves the problem of existing
laser welding clamping mechanisms obstructing
airflow and causing protection blind zones.
