Description

Local dry method underwater laser welding multi-protection gas wire filling drainage device TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of underwater welding, more particularly to a local dry method underwater laser welding multi-protection gas wire filling drainage device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Ocean equipment is not only the key equipment to help the ocean economy, explore the marine environment, and exploit marine resources, but also an important engine to promote the overall progress of science and technology and the development of engineering application innovation. Due to the large load, high strength, extremely harsh environment and the influence of uncertain load such as wind and wave and earthquake, the key structural parts of ocean equipment are prone to damage, causing serious harm.

[0003] For the repair of marine structures, underwater welding repair technology is often used. Underwater laser welding technology has become a research hotspot due to its small water pressure influence, high energy density, and high control precision. Underwater laser welding technology is an ideal way for underwater welding repair operation. However, the existing underwater laser welding drainage device has the following problems:

[0004] (1) Poor quality of wire filling welding: the existing local dry method underwater laser welding drainage device does not consider the requirement of wire filling welding when designed. It has good effect when not filling wire, but the welding quality needs to be improved when using an external wire feeding device for underwater wire filling welding operation. The reasons for insufficient welding quality are that on the one hand, the welding wire will contact water, and water will also seep into the contact position of the welding wire and the drainage device, which will cause the temperature gradient of the molten pool to increase, resulting in poor welding quality. On the other hand, the external wire feeding device has insufficient adaptability with the drainage device, the dry extension of the welding wire is large, and the welding wire is unstable;

[0005] (2) Laser wire filling welding needs to ensure that the welding wire is in contact with the laser spot, otherwise it cannot effectively perform wire filling welding. The dry extension length of the external wire feeding device is large, which cannot effectively ensure the stable contact of the welding wire with the laser spot. The welding production efficiency is low because the welding operation needs to be adjusted frequently;

[0006] (3) In the actual welding process, the damage of the laser welding head protection lens is inevitable. The existing drainage device has a complex process and takes a long time to replace the protection lens, which also seriously affects the welding efficiency.

[0020] Preferably, the annular micro gap one has a value range of 2% to 5% of the inner diameter of the uniform gas cavity.

[0021] Preferably, the adjustable straight pipe comprises an upper threaded pipe and a lower threaded pipe; the upper threaded pipe is screwed with the lower threaded pipe to realize the distance adjustment between the lens and the nozzle of the laser welding device by adjusting the screwing length of the upper threaded pipe and the lower threaded pipe; the screwing length between the upper threaded pipe and the lower threaded pipe is locked by a threaded locking ring; and the drain cover is arranged outside the lower threaded pipe.

[0031] 2. The drainage gas of the drainage device of the present application is innovatively blown downward along the inner wall of the drainage cover to form a downward cyclone; under the action of centrifugal force, the drainage gas expands outward along the axis to discharge the water and generate a stable dry space.

[0032] 3. According to the problem that the protective lens is inevitably damaged during actual laser welding, the present application designs a quick replacement structure of the protective lens to significantly improve the welding operation efficiency.

[0033] 4. The drainage device of the present application uses three gas paths for drainage; the welding protection gas is introduced from the welding protection gas inlet hole, flushed the protective lens first in the space above the uniform gas ring, and then discharged along the light path through the inner hole of the uniform gas ring, the adjustable straight tube hole and the nozzle jet hole; the drainage gas is introduced from the drainage gas inlet hole and then discharged through the drainage cavity; the welding wire protection gas is introduced from the welding wire protection gas inlet hole, enters the drainage cavity through the gap between the inner wall of the welding wire feeding tube and its fixed channel, and is finally discharged; the three gas paths effectively generate a local true dry environment suitable for laser filler wire welding.

[0061] Then the laser beam is turned on, and after about 0.1 s of delay after the laser beam is turned on, the welding wire is started to be fed to the molten pool, and the drainage device is moved simultaneously to start the welding operation.
