The invention relates to the technical field of
friction stir welding, and discloses an adjustable stirring needle for a
friction stir welding tool and a using method thereof.The adjustable stirring needle comprises a
welding tool
assembly provided with a stirring needle
assembly.When the aperture length of the stirring needle
assembly is adjusted, the stirring needle assembly can be adjusted by rotating a rotating column and then under the cooperation of a
diameter adjusting assembly; the stirring needle assembly can extend out of the
welding tool assembly, the third stirring needle and the second stirring needle can be controlled to retract according to the required
diameter length of the stirring needle along with
continuous rotation of the rotating column, so that the function of adapting to different required
diameter lengths of the stirring needle is achieved, and workpieces of different sizes and shapes can be adapted by adjusting the diameter of the stirring needle; according to the
welding device, the welding application range is wide, the adjustability of the diameter of the stirring needle provides more selection spaces for welding workers, and the most suitable diameter of the stirring needle can be flexibly selected according to specific welding requirements and workpiece characteristics, so that the optimal welding effect is achieved.
