[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the second stud is provided with a side end face matching the outer surface of the mold.
[0048] The specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the following drawings and examples are used to illustrate the present application, but not to limit the present application.
[0049] Reference is made to Figure 1Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of a laser welding device according to the present application, comprising a mold unit, a pressing unit (linear pressing plate unit) and a laser unit arranged on a machine tool.
[0050] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mold unit has a mold 1 for supporting a noble metal plate, and a mold fixing clamp 2 for fixing the mold to the machine tool. The length direction of the mold 1 is defined as the front-rear direction, wherein the direction toward the outside of the paper is the front direction, and the direction toward the inside of the paper is the rear direction. The direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane of the machine tool is defined as the up-down direction, and the left side of the mold (the direction to the left side of the paper) is defined as the left direction, and the right side of the mold (the direction to the right side of the paper) is defined as the right direction.
[0051] The mold 1, as a mold for determining the shape of the crucible, can be a hollow cylindrical shape, or a columnar shape with a rectangular cross section, etc. Before welding, the noble metal plate is bent along the outer surface of the mold 1 and adheres to the outer surface of the mold 1. Then the mold 1 wrapped with the noble metal plate is placed in the work station and fixed by the mold fixing clamp 2. The noble metal plate is, for example, a platinum plate (hereinafter, platinum crucibles are prepared by using platinum plates (platinum sheets) as an example, but it should be understood that other noble metal plates can be used, such as iridium, molybdenum, tungsten, etc. The thickness of the platinum plate (platinum sheet) can be 0.06-0.50 mm, and preferably rectangular, and the appropriate size of the platinum sheet can be selected according to the size of the desired crucible, for example, the width can be 10-600 mm to form the depth of the crucible, and the length can be 30-600 mm to form the circumference of the outer circumferential surface of the crucible.
[0052] The mold fixing clamp 2 can be a retractable clamp arranged in pairs on the left and right sides of the mold, for example, comprising a clamp base fixed on the machine tool, and a threaded stud retractable toward the mold 1. In one example, the threaded stud comprises a first threaded stud and a second threaded stud screw-connected, and the clamp base upper end is provided with an inner cavity with internal threads for accommodating the first threaded stud; the first threaded stud can be screwed into the inner cavity of the clamp base upper end, and the first threaded stud is provided with a first adjusting nut for adjusting the depth of the first threaded stud screwed into the inner cavity of the clamp base, and a second adjusting nut for adjusting the length of the screwing part of the first threaded stud and the second threaded stud. For example, after the mold is placed in the work station, the first adjusting nut is first adjusted to make the first threaded stud retract toward the mold until it contacts the outer surface of the mold for rough adjustment, and then the first adjusting nut is adjusted to further make the second threaded stud press the mold. With the help of two-step adjustment, the mold can be clamped more reliably. In addition, the side end surface of the preferred second threaded stud facing the mold is matched with the outer surface of the mold.
[0053] In one example, a pair of screws is retracted towards the outside of the machine tool (in the direction of the fixture base), the fixture is opened, the mold wrapped with platinum sheet is put in, the pair of screws is extended towards the inside of the machine tool (in the direction of the mold), the mold 1 is clamped, and the mold 1 is fixed. It should be understood that the mold fixing top clamp 2 can be provided with multiple pairs along the length direction of the mold. For example, one pair is provided at each end of the mold, or additionally one pair is provided at the center of the mold.
[0054] The multiple pressing units include a first pressing unit, a second pressing unit and a third pressing unit, each of which can include a power mechanism, a pressing plate and a support. The first pressing unit is used to position one end of the platinum sheet on the mold to form the inner layer of the welding portion (welding overlap surface). The second pressing unit is used to position the other end of the platinum sheet on the mold to form the outer layer of the welding portion (welding overlap surface), so as to ensure that the platinum sheet surrounds and wraps the outer surface of the mold to determine the peripheral surface of the crucible. The first pressing unit includes a first pressing plate 3, and the second pressing unit includes a second pressing plate 4. The first pressing plate 3 and the second pressing plate 4 can use a common pressing power mechanism to perform pressing, beating, pressing and other actions, for example, the first and second pressing pneumatic mechanisms 5 shown in FIG. 6. Figure 2 It should be understood that the first pressing plate 3 and the second pressing plate 4 can also be operated by independent pressing power mechanisms respectively. A common pressing support can also be used to support the first pressing plate 3 and the second pressing plate 4 and their power mechanisms, for example, the first and second pressing supports 6 shown in FIG. 7. Figure 2 Similarly, it should be understood that multiple pressing supports can also be used to support the first pressing plate 3 and the second pressing plate 4 and their power mechanisms respectively.
[0055] The welding position is preset, which is preferably arranged along the length direction of the mold and located in the central plane parallel to the longitudinal axis of the mold but perpendicular to the horizontal plane of the machine tool. The mold 1 wrapped with the platinum sheet (platinum metal plate) is fixed on the work station, and the first end surface (the inner layer of the welding overlap surface) of the platinum sheet is attached to the mold directly above and across the preset welding position by a specified distance, for example, 0.1-1 mm across the preset welding position, so as to ensure that the inner layer of the welding portion after welding is controlled within 0.1-1 mm. In this way, the airtightness of the crucible can be ensured while the platinum loss is minimized.
[0056] The mold fixing top clamp 2 fixes the mold 1, and then the first and second lower pressing support 6 is operated to position the first lower pressing plate 3 directly above the mold. The first lower pressing plate 3 is pressed down to press the first end surface (the inner layer 15 of the welding overlap) of the platinum sheet. At this time, the left edge (the edge close to the welding seam) of the first lower pressing plate 3 is about 3.0-4.0 mm away from the welding seam position, to ensure that the second lower pressing plate 4 can be placed between the welding seam position and the first lower pressing plate 3. The other end surface (the second end surface) of the platinum sheet is wound around the mold to press on the first end surface of the platinum sheet to form the outer layer of the welding overlap. Similarly, the second end surface (the outer layer 16 of the welding overlap) of the platinum sheet is placed directly above the mold and across the welding seam position 17 at a specified distance, for example, 3.0-4.0 mm beyond the welding seam position, to ensure that the outer layer excess edge is controlled at 3.0-4.0 mm after welding. In this way, the airtightness of the crucible can be ensured while minimizing the loss of platinum. Then the first and second lower pressing support 6 is operated to position the second lower pressing plate 4 directly above the mold. The second lower pressing plate 4 is pressed down to press the second end surface (the outer layer of the welding overlap) of the platinum sheet. At this time, the right edge of the second lower pressing plate 4 is close to (preferably next to) the left edge of the first lower pressing plate (see Figure 4 ), and the left edge of the second lower pressing plate 4 is about 1.0-3.0 mm away from the welding seam position. It should be understood that the positions of the first lower pressing plate 3 and the second lower pressing plate 4 can be adjusted in advance to be next to a certain distance above the mold 1, and then the first end surface and the second end surface of the platinum sheet are inserted into the positions of the mold 1 and the first lower pressing plate 3 and the second lower pressing plate 4 in turn, and the first lower pressing plate 3 and the second lower pressing plate 4 are pressed down respectively.
[0057] The first lower pressing plate 3 and the second lower pressing plate 4 can press the end surfaces of the platinum sheet against the outer circumferential surface of the mold to determine the circumference of the crucible, but both the first lower pressing plate 3 and the second lower pressing plate 4 are located on the same side of the welding seam, and can only compact the platinum sheet on one side (the right side in the figure) of the welding seam position. Here, the combination of the first lower pressing unit and the second lower pressing unit is referred to as the basic lower pressing unit.
[0058] Thus, the present application adds a set of straight pressing plate mechanism, i.e. the third pressing unit, also called the enhanced pressing unit, on the other side (left side) of the weld position. The third pressing unit comprises a third pressing plate 7, a third pressing power mechanism (e.g. a third pressing pneumatic mechanism 8), a third pressing support 9, a horizontal moving guide 10 and a horizontal moving mechanism 11. The horizontal moving guide 10 can be fixed on the machine tool and arranged perpendicularly to the length direction of the mold. The third pressing support 9 is used to support the third pressing plate 7 and the third pressing power mechanism and can move horizontally along the horizontal moving guide 10. The horizontal moving mechanism 11 can be a manual moving knob or a manual push-pull rod, etc. to move the third pressing support 9 supporting the third pressing plate 7 and the third pressing power mechanism horizontally (left and right) on the horizontal moving guide 10. It should be understood that the horizontal moving mechanism can also be an electric mechanism.
[0059] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the third pressing support 9 can be formed as a fan-shaped ring piece with an inner diameter greater than the outer diameter of the mold, preferably 2.0-3.0 times the outer diameter of the mold, so that the third pressing support 9 and the components supported thereby can approach or move away from the mold 1 without obstacles.
[0060] In one example, the third pressing support 9 is moved right to approach the mold 1 and the third pressing plate 7 is located above the mold by means of the horizontal moving mechanism 11, the third pressing pneumatic mechanism 9 is operated to press the third pressing plate 7, and the third pressing plate 7 completely covers the preset weld position next to the second pressing plate 3 (at this time), the third pressing pneumatic mechanism 9 is operated to press 2-4 times (the third pressing plate 7 repeats the pressing and releasing action). Then, the third pressing support 9 is moved left by a specified distance by means of the horizontal moving mechanism 11 to expose the position of the preset weld for laser welding, preferably, the right end of the third pressing plate is 0.1-3 mm, preferably 0.1-1 mm away from the weld (see Figure 5 ).
[0061] Preferably, the lower end of the fan-shaped ring piece of the third pressing support 9 can be provided with a spring, so that the third pressing support 9 can be kept on the horizontal moving guide 10 during pressing or releasing. In addition, the third pressing support 9 can be composed of 3-6 fan-shaped ring pieces arranged at equal intervals.
[0062] In one example, the first, second and third lower pressing plates 3, 4 and 7 are long strips parallel to each other and to the length direction of the mold 1. The first, second and third lower pressing plates 3, 4 and 7 can be formed by a plurality of small blocks, so that the damaged parts can be replaced without replacing the whole. The pressing force of the first lower pressing plate 3 can be 190-300 N, the pressing force of the second lower pressing plate 4 can be 200-350 N, and the pressing force of the third lower pressing plate 7 can be 100-180 N. The beating pressure of the third lower pressing plate 7 is 290-500 N. The beating pressure of the third lower pressing plate 7 is greater than the pressing force of the third lower pressing plate 7, for example, the former can be 2-4 times the latter. It should be understood that the above shows that the pneumatic mechanism is used to operate the pressing or beating action of the first, second and third lower pressing plates 3, 4 and 7, but the power mechanism of the first, second and third lower pressing plates 3, 4 and 7 is not limited to this, for example, a magnetic power mechanism (such as an electrophoretic magnet) can be used.
[0063] Then laser welding is performed. The laser unit includes a laser bracket 12, a laser guide rail 13, and a laser 14. The laser bracket 12 serves to mount the laser 14 and its associated components (such as the laser guide rail 13, the laser motion lead screw, the laser motor, etc.) to the machine tool and support these components. The laser motion lead screw is mounted inside the laser guide rail 13, and under the program instructions of laser welding, the motor drives the motion lead screw to make the laser 13 travel along the direction of the laser guide rail 13 to perform the welding action. The laser 14 outputs a laser beam with a given power according to the program instructions, melts the upper platinum sheet and the lower platinum sheet 40-80% in thickness to achieve the purpose of welding the platinum sheet. The welded cylindrical crucible wall is formed.
[0064] The laser can use IPG's QCw150W (spot diameter is 200um) or single-mode laser (focal spot 28um) for example, but is not limited to this. Beam mode is a major indicator of beam quality. The lower the beam mode order, the better the beam focusing performance, the smaller the spot, and the higher the power density under the same laser power. As shown in Figures 6-10 The welding path (pattern) can be straight, zigzag, wavy, spiral, etc. The spot can be a solid dot or a hollow ring.
[0065] The crucible wall prepared by the present application is welded with the stamping formed crucible bottom to form a platinum-gold crucible.
