Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a wire filling device and method, and belongs to the technical field of material processing automation. Background Art

[0002] In the fields of aerospace, military industry, etc., there is a demand for processing hollow thin-walled metal ball components, and it is necessary to inject specific liquids into the interior of such hollow balls to achieve functions. A tiny hole with a diameter of less than 1 mm is drilled on the surface of the ball, and the liquid is injected into the interior through the microhole. After the liquid is injected, the microhole is filled with welding wire and welded to seal it, so that the injected liquid is sealed inside the ball. Due to the small size of the microholes on the surface of the ball and the thin wall of the ball, welding methods with excessive heat input cannot be used for sealing. Therefore, laser spot welding with high instantaneous energy density and small range of action is usually used to seal the microholes on the surface of thin-walled hollow metal balls. However, there is currently no mature solution and device application for filling the microholes on the surface of the above-mentioned thin-walled hollow metal balls with welding wire.

[0003] The reason is that using laser spot welding to seal the micropores on the surface of the ball has extremely high requirements for the size and filling amount of the welding wire.

[0004] 1. Usually the selected welding wire diameter is 0.05mm smaller than the micropore diameter. If the welding wire diameter is too small, the welding wire will easily fall into the small ball through the micropore during filling; if the welding wire diameter is too large, it will not be able to fill into the micropore;

[0005] 2. The filler volume of welding wire is roughly 2mm-3mm. If the filler volume is too small, the impact force generated by the thermal expansion of the liquid inside the ball during welding can easily push the welding wire out of the micropore, causing the laser to directly act on the micropores on the surface of the ball, causing the thin-walled ball to be burned through. Alternatively, after the welding wire is successfully melted, the small filler volume may result in the area where the melted welding wire spreads not being able to completely cover the entire micropore, leaving some unsealed areas in the micropore.

[0006] 3. If the amount of welding wire is too large, the energy released by the laser during the welding process cannot melt the welding wire and the micropores cannot be sealed due to the extremely short laser welding time, usually within 0.5s. In this case, if the laser welding time is extended, the thin wall of the ball will be burned through by the laser due to heat accumulation.

[0007] 4. Due to the small size of the micropores on the surface of the ball, it is difficult to automatically fill the micropores with welding wire. The current production method is to manually fill the micropores with welding wire, which not only makes it difficult to accurately grasp the filling amount of welding wire, but also greatly reduces production efficiency.

[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a wire filling device and method for sealing the micropores on the surface of thin-walled hollow metal balls to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

The welding nail inlet 7, the welding nail outlet 8 and the housing 6 are all coaxially arranged.

[0056] The following steps are involved:

[0057] Step 1: Insert the welding nail 9 from the welding nail inlet 7. After entering the device, the welding nail 9 falls due to gravity. The nail cap 1 hooks on the conveyor belt grooves 11 on both sides and is not hindered by the upper side walls of the grooves 11. The welding nail 9 moves downward along the conveyor belt 10. The time interval between the insertion of each welding nail 9 is calculated based on the linear speed of the conveyor wheel 12 and the distance between adjacent grooves 11 on the conveyor belt 10.

[0058] In step 1, the welding nail entrance 7 is set just above the gap between the two conveyor belts 10 in the conveyor device 4, and when the conveyor belt 10 is at the top corner, the opening direction of the groove 11 on its surface is obliquely upward, wherein the opening direction of the left conveyor belt groove 11 is the upper right, and the opening direction of the right conveyor belt groove 11 is the upper left. The nail cap 1 partially hooks the lower side wall of the conveyor belt groove 11 on both sides. As the conveyor belt 10 moves downward, the opening direction of the groove 11 gradually becomes horizontal, and the upper side wall of the groove 11 gradually presses the nail cap, that is, the welding nail 9 is fixed through the groove 11;

[0059] In step 1: the diameter of the micropores on the surface of the thin-walled hollow metal sphere is d, and the wall thickness of the structure is h. The diameter of the nail cap 1 is designed to be 1.5d, the thickness of the nail cap 1 is designed to be 0.5h, the top diameter of the nail body 2 is designed to be 0.9d, the length of the nail body 2 is designed to be 1.5h, the linear speed of the conveyor wheel 10 is v, and the distance between adjacent grooves 11 on the conveyor belt 10 is L, where L>1.5h needs to be satisfied. The time interval t for placing the welding nail 9 is t=L / v;

[0060] Step 2: The welding nail 9 moves along the conveyor belt 10 to the bottom of the conveyor belt 10. The welding nail 9 enters the wire filling device 5 under the action of gravity. The nail cap 1 is supported by the welding nail support rod 14, and the nail body 2 and the nail tip 3 are extended through the welding nail outlet 8.

[0061] In step 2, when the welding nail 9 moves with the conveyor belt 10 to the lower part of the conveyor belt 10 and turns, the opening direction of the groove 11 is obliquely downward, the left conveyor belt moves clockwise, and the right conveyor belt moves counterclockwise, and the movement speed is equal to ensure that the welding nail is smoothly fed downward, wherein the opening direction of the left conveyor belt groove 11 is the lower right, and the opening direction of the right conveyor belt groove 11 is the lower left, and the lower side walls of the grooves 11 on both sides that drive the welding nail 9 to move move to both sides with the conveyor belt 10, and the welding nail falls under the action of gravity;

During the downward rotation of the welding nail filling rods 13, the rope 17 passing through the fixed pulley 18 drives the welding nail support rods 14 to slide outward along the filling device support frame 15. The bottom support of the nail cap 1 disappears, and the top of the nail cap 1 is subjected to the pressure of the welding nail filling rods 13. The welding nail 9 is pushed out of the wire filling device 22 and filled into the micropores 24 on the surface of the thin-walled hollow metal ball 23;

[0064] In step 3, the welding nail outlet 8 of the wire filling device 22 is located just above the micropores on the surface of the thin-walled hollow metal ball 23;

[0065] Step 4: The rotating electric shaft 21 stops, and the rivet support rod 14 is reset under the action of the spring 16, and at the same time drives the rivet filling rod 13 to reset and wait for the next rivet 9 to be filled;

[0066] In step 4, the time interval for placing the welding nails 9 in step 1 is equal to the time interval for filling or filling the welding nails 9 in step 3.
