Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of laser welding, and particularly relates to an ultra-thin Invar alloy small-deformation mirror welding device and method based on a pulse laser staggered step distribution. Background Art
[0002] The Invar alloy with a thickness of only 0.7 mm is adopted in the thin-film LNG fuel tank, and the manufacturing is carried out by welding technology. The laser welding technology is a welding method with high efficiency and high precision. However, for the ultra-thin wall Invar alloy welding structure, problems such as insufficient self-rigidity of the structure and continuous heat accumulation in the welding area are likely to cause the welding deformation to exceed the limit, making it difficult to meet the service requirements. Therefore, the small-deformation laser welding technology applied to the Invar alloy thin-wall structure needs to be further broken through.
[0003] The laser mirror welding technology can realize the conjugate distribution of stress and deformation in the welding process by symmetrically arranging two laser beams on both sides of the weld seam and implementing the welding method. Therefore, the mirror distribution of laser energy can reduce the welding deformation to a certain extent. However, the welding deformation is also affected by factors such as clamping constraints, heat source accumulation, and assembly accuracy, resulting in a real-time change state of the welding deformation during the welding process. Especially for the ultra-thin wall welding structure, multi-directional curved surface deformation occurs under the superposition influence of multiple factors such as continuous heat input accumulation and boundary conditions. In addition, in order to obtain a weld seam that just penetrates and has a stable weld seam size, the ultra-thin wall structure is extremely sensitive to the adjustment of welding parameters such as laser power.
[0004] The pulsed laser can output optical pulses with a high energy density in a short time, which can provide a higher welding speed and more precise energy control, and is suitable for fields with high requirements for welding quality and efficiency. How to give full play to the advantages of the pulsed laser, design an energy spatio-temporal distribution scheme that meets the welding deformation and joint forming quality requirements of the Invar alloy thin-wall structure, and achieve small-deformation and high-quality welding of the ultra-thin Invar alloy is still a problem that needs to be solved by the laser welding technology.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 , the present invention provides a thin - walled Invar alloy small - deformation mirror welding device based on pulsed laser staggered - step distribution, including a control system 1, a multi - source laser system 2, a pulsed - continuous laser composite welding head A, a pulsed - continuous laser composite welding head B, a mirror displacement monitoring system 5 and a weldment 6. The control system 1 is connected to the multi - source laser system 2 and the mirror displacement monitoring system 5 through connecting wires; the multi - source laser system 2 is used to output a continuous - pulsed composite laser beam, including a semiconductor laser A, a pulsed fiber laser A, a semiconductor laser B, and a pulsed fiber laser B. Among them, the semiconductor laser A and the pulsed fiber laser A are connected to the pulsed - continuous laser composite welding head through transmission optical fibers, and the semiconductor laser B and the pulsed fiber laser B are connected to the pulsed - continuous laser composite welding head B through transmission optical fibers. The semiconductor laser transmission system and the fiber laser transmission system can respectively output parallel semiconductor laser beam 31 and fiber laser beam 32 downward from the semiconductor laser output end 36 and the pulsed fiber laser transmission end 33. Heat input modification: bilateral energy
[0041] The internal structure of the pulsed - continuous laser composite welding head B is the same as that of the pulsed - continuous laser composite welding head A, and the two are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the weldment 6 and are independent of each other, and their spatial postures are respectively controlled by the control system 1.
[0042] The mirror displacement monitoring system 5 is used to monitor the angular deformation of the welded part 6 during the welding process in real time, and includes displacement sensing devices A1, A2, B1, and B2. The displacement sensing devices A1 and A2 are installed on the pulse - continuous laser relative position adjustable welding head A.

The displacement sensing devices A1, A2, B1, and B2 calculate the corresponding distances in real time by monitoring the time t when their detection lines are blocked, so as to monitor the deformation amounts on both sides of the welded part 6 in real time. The control system 1 receives the displacement deformation signals on both sides of the welded part 6 in the mirror displacement monitoring system 5 through signal connection lines, and retrieves the relationship between the deformation amount difference solution - multi - source laser process parameters - reflector height in the control system. The control system 1 sends the adjusted multi - source laser process parameters and the height of the movable reflector 35 to the multi - source laser system 2 according to the feedback signals of the deformation amounts on both sides.
[0043] In this embodiment, the laser power ranges that the semiconductor lasers A and B can output are 0 - 2000W, and the laser power ranges that the pulsed fiber lasers A and B can output are 0 - 4000W.
[0044] As Figure 2 shown, the pulse - continuous laser composite welding head A includes a semiconductor laser beam A, a pulsed fiber laser beam A, a pulsed fiber laser transmission end 33, a fiber laser collimating lens 34, a movable reflector 35, a semiconductor laser transmission end 36, a semiconductor laser collimating lens 37, a beam splitter 38, and a confocal lens 39.
[0045] The semiconductor laser beam 31 is connected to the pulse - continuous laser composite welding head through the semiconductor laser transmission end 36, and then reaches the surface of the welded part 6 through the semiconductor laser collimating lens 37, the beam splitter 38, and the confocal lens 39 in sequence; the pulsed fiber laser beam 32 is connected to the pulse - continuous laser composite welding head through the pulsed fiber laser transmission end 33, and then reaches the surface of the welded part 6 through the fiber laser collimating lens 34, the movable reflector 35, the beam splitter 38, and the confocal lens 39 in sequence.
[0046] In this embodiment, the welded part 6 is an Invar alloy thin - plate butt joint structure with dimensions of 100mm×200mm×0.5mm, where 0.5mm is the thickness of the plate, 200mm is the length of the weld, and there are no grooves and gaps. In other embodiments, the welding structure can be of other dimensions.
[0047] The laser welding process parameters are as follows: the set power of semiconductor laser A and semiconductor laser B is 1000 W, the set power of pulsed fiber laser A and pulsed fiber laser B is 1500 W, the pulse frequency is set to 20 Hz, the welding speed is 2.4 m / min, the pulse laser duration is 30 ms, the center of the pulsed fiber laser spot coincides with the center of the semiconductor laser spot, and the angle between the bilateral pulsed - continuous laser beam and the weld plane is 90°. The pulsed fiber laser and the semiconductor laser are combined to carry out laser welding, and the ultra - thin Invar alloy small - deformation mirror welding based on the pulsed laser staggered step distribution is completed.
[0048] As Figure 2 shown, the semiconductor laser transmission system and the pulsed fiber laser transmission system jointly form a multi - source laser system 2. The semiconductor laser transmission system is provided with a semiconductor laser collimating lens 37, a beam - splitting lens 38, and a confocal lens 39 from top to bottom. The three are located on the same center line, and the semiconductor laser beam 31 acts on the surface of the welded part through the semiconductor laser collimating lens 37, the beam - splitting lens 38, and the confocal lens 39. The pulsed fiber laser transmission system includes a fiber laser collimating lens 34, a movable fiber laser reflecting lens 353, a beam - splitting lens 38, and a confocal lens 39 arranged in the pulsed - continuous laser composite welding head 3. The pulsed fiber laser beam 32 passes through the laser collimating lens 34, is reflected by the movable fiber laser mirror 353 and the beam - splitting mirror 38 to the confocal lens 39 and is combined with the semiconductor laser beam to act on the surface of the welded part 6.
[0049] The transmittance of the semiconductor laser collimating lens 37, the beam - splitting lens 38, and the confocal lens 39 for the semiconductor laser beam with a wavelength of 915 nm is 99.99%.
[0050] The transmittance of the fiber laser collimating lens 34 and the confocal lens 39 for the pulsed fiber laser beam with a wavelength of 1064 nm is 99.99%.
[0051] The reflectivity of the fiber laser reflecting lens 353 and the beam - splitting lens 38 for the pulsed fiber laser beam with a wavelength of 1064 nm is 99.9%.
[0052] As Figure 3 、 Figure 4 shown, during the welding process, the mirror displacement monitoring system 5 monitors and measures the deformation amount d A on the A side and the deformation amount d B on the B side of the 0.5 - mm - thick Invar alloy thin plate in real - time, and feeds the deformation amounts on both sides back to the control system 1. The control system 1 solves the difference between the deformation amounts on both sides, and determines parameters such as the pulsed fiber laser power, pulse frequency, pulse laser duration, and relative position of the bilateral pulsed fiber laser beams on both sides according to the difference solution amount.
[0053] For the deformation amount |d on both sides of a 0.5-mm-thick Invar alloy thin plate A -d B When |d < 0.02, symmetric distributed laser mirror welding is adopted; when 0.02 < |d A -d B < 0.05, staggered distributed laser mirror welding is adopted; when 0.05 < |d A -d B < 0.1, single-sided step distributed laser mirror welding is adopted; when 0.1 < |d A -d B < 0.2, double-sided asymmetric step distributed laser mirror welding is adopted.
[0054] The control system 1 adjusts parameters such as pulsed fiber laser power, pulse frequency, and pulsed laser duration by controlling the multi-source laser system 2, and adjusts the relative position of the double-sided pulsed fiber laser beams by controlling the movable reflection device 35. The movable reflection device 35 includes a slide rail 351, a liftable lens mounting groove 352, and a reflection lens 353. To adjust the relative position of the pulsed-continuous laser composite laser, the spatial position of the pulsed fiber laser beam is changed by controlling the lifting of the slide rail 351 and the height of the reflection lens 353. When the reflection lens 353 is moved upward, the pulsed fiber laser beam 32 is reflected by the beam splitter lens 38 to the left side of the confocal lens 39, and the pulsed fiber laser beam 32 moves to the left relative to the semiconductor laser beam 31; when the reflection lens 353 is moved downward, the pulsed fiber laser beam 32 is reflected by the beam splitter lens 38 to the right side of the confocal lens 39, and the pulsed fiber laser beam 32 moves to the right relative to the semiconductor laser beam 31.
[0055] In the case of a small deformation amount of the Invar alloy thin plate, the control system 1 adopts the symmetric distributed laser mirror welding method by controlling the multi-source laser system 2. In the case of a large deformation amount, the control system 1 controls the multi-source laser system 2 and the movable reflection device 35 according to the ratio of the deformation amount on both sides of the Invar alloy thin plate to the thickness of the weldment 6, and performs staggered distributed, single-sided step distributed, and double-sided asymmetric step distributed laser mirror welding methods, achieving the purpose of correcting the deformation on both sides of the weldment 6 during welding by controlling the asymmetric distribution of the heat input amount. After the deformation amount is reduced, the control system 1 restores the double-sided energy distribution mode to symmetric distribution to achieve precise control of the double-sided deformation amount.
[0056] For the ultra-thin Invar alloy small-deformation mirror welding method based on the pulsed laser staggered step distribution, an ultra-thin Invar alloy small-deformation mirror welding device based on the pulsed laser staggered step distribution is adopted. The welding method includes the following steps:
[0057] Step 1: Install and fix an Invar alloy weldment with a thickness of 0.5 mm;
[0058] Step 2: Turn on the mirror displacement monitoring system 5, and ensure the pre-welding deformation through the mirror displacement monitoring system 5;
[0059] Step 3: Adjust the positions of the pulsed - continuous laser composite welding head A and the pulsed - continuous laser composite welding head B according to the weld position, so that they present a mirror distribution relative to the weld;
[0060] Step 4: Input the weldment thickness of 0.5 mm into the control system 1;
[0061] Step 5: Set the pulsed fiber laser power P1 = 1500 W, pulse frequency f = 20 Hz, pulsed laser duration t1 = 30 ms, semiconductor laser power P2 = 1000 W, and welding speed v = 2.4 m / min on both sides through the control panel in the control system 1;
[0062] Step 6: The control system 1 turns on the semiconductor laser A, pulsed fiber laser A, semiconductor laser B, and pulsed fiber laser B, and starts the laser mirror welding operation;
[0063] Step 7: During the welding process, the mirror displacement monitoring system 5 records the deformation of the weldment in real time and feeds it back to the control system 1. The control system 1 solves the difference between the deformation amounts d A and d B dynamically adjusts the parameters according to the difference solution amount, including: pulsed fiber laser power on both sides, pulse frequency, pulsed laser duration, relative position of the bilateral pulsed fiber laser beams, and realizes the rapid switching between symmetric distributed laser mirror welding, staggered distributed laser mirror welding method, unilateral step - distributed laser mirror welding method, and bilateral asymmetric step - distributed laser mirror welding method, so as to ensure that the deformation amount is controlled within the threshold range and complete the welding.
