Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of laser welding, and in particular to a positionable electronic cigarette production welding device. Background Art
[0002] In the manufacturing process of electronic cigarettes, laser welding is used to connect the heating wire and the metal electrode. Laser welding is a non-contact welding method that can accurately focus heat on the welding site to avoid excessive heat impact on surrounding materials, thereby ensuring the accuracy and integrity of electronic cigarette components. Its welding speed is fast, which can effectively improve production efficiency and meet the needs of large-scale production. Moreover, laser welding can achieve high-quality welding joints with high welding strength, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection between the heating wire and the metal electrode, which has a vital impact on the normal operation and service life of electronic cigarettes.
[0003] In the laser welding process, protective gas plays an indispensable role. Since the metal material is exposed to high temperature during the welding process, the metal is prone to chemical reactions with oxygen and nitrogen in the air, such as oxidation and nitridation. These reactions will lead to a decrease in the performance of the welded joint, such as reduced strength and poor corrosion resistance. The protective gas can form a protective barrier in the welding area to isolate the air and prevent the metal from contacting with harmful gases, thereby ensuring the welding quality, improving the stability and reliability of the welded joint, and ensuring that the heating wire of the electronic cigarette can work normally and have good durability after welding with the metal electrode.
[0004] However, the existing shielding gas release strategy is generally to release it coaxially along the laser welding path. When the shielding gas is released coaxially along the welding path, the smoke generated by welding will be flushed onto the surface of the workpiece by the shielding gas. The smoke attached to the surface of the workpiece contains a large amount of impurities such as metal oxides and metal particles, which will affect the appearance quality of the workpiece and make the surface of the workpiece rough and uneven in color. On the other hand, these impurities may penetrate into the weld joint, weaken the strength of the weld joint, reduce its conductivity, and thus affect the heating effect and overall performance of the electronic cigarette. At the same time, due to the decrease in surface temperature around the welding area under the action of the protective gas, the smoke will directly condense on the surface of the workpiece, causing the area around the welding area to be contaminated and affecting the welding effect. In addition, the coaxial release of the shielding gas may cause uneven distribution of the shielding gas, and poor protection effect in certain parts of the welding area, further increasing the probability of welding defects and affecting the product qualification rate.
[0005] Based on the above viewpoints, those skilled in the art have proposed a positionable welding device for producing electronic cigarettes. Summary of the invention

A plurality of valve plates that can only be opened one-way backward are arranged on the valved piston plate 567. The outer side wall of the valved piston plate 567 is tightly fitted with the inner side wall of the air outlet tube 562. The rear side wall of the diverter box 576 is fixedly connected to a three-way valve 574, and one of the ports of the three-way valve 574 is connected to the blocking airbag 583 through a pipeline.
[0050] Working principle: Before laser welding the heating wire, the staff places the heating wire and the metal electrode on the heating wire fixing mold 52, and then installs the heating wire fixing mold 52 on the lower inner wall of the welding outer box 51. After the heating wire fixing mold 52 is installed, the front electric flap of the welding outer box 51 flips forward to make it present a certain inclination angle. The air curtain blow tube 53 is connected to the air compressor, and the air curtain blow tube 53 starts to blow out high-pressure air, and the air curtain blow tube drive mechanism 54 drives the air curtain blow tube 53 to rotate. The air curtain blow tube drive mechanism 54 can be selected as a motor and a belt group, which drives the belt transmission through the motor, and then drives the air curtain blow tube 53 to rotate. When the air curtain blow tube 53 rotates, the high-pressure air curtain blown from the air curtain blow tube 53 sweeps over the heating wire fixing mold 52, so that impurities attached to the heating wire fixing mold 52 are blown out from the electric flap to avoid dust. Dust adhesion reduces the quality of laser welding. After the dust removal work is completed, the wind curtain blowing tube 53 stops rotating and the blowing of the wind curtain is also stopped. Then the exhaust valve 579 is opened, and the protective gas is filled into the gas pre-storage box 571 through the second air inlet valve 578. The protective gas is preferably a low-cost inert gas such as argon. After the inert gas filled into the gas pre-storage box 571 is blown into the gas pre-storage box 571, it will enter the blowing mechanism 58 through the exhaust valve 579 and then be filled in the welding outer box 51. After a period of inert gas filling, the wind curtain blowing tube 53 rotates to correspond to the rear slot of the wind-bearing mechanism 55, and then the wind curtain blowing tube 53 remains stationary. At this time, the high-pressure air curtain blown out by the wind curtain blowing tube 53 enters the wind-bearing mechanism 55, thereby forming a layer of stable high-pressure air curtain on the top of the inner cavity of the welding outer box 51, thereby isolating the inner cavity of the welding outer box 51 from the outside air.
[0051] It should be noted that the filling of the inert gas must ensure that the air originally inside the welding outer box 51 is dispersed, and the filling time can be obtained by conducting a limited number of experiments based on the volume of the welding outer box 51 and the filling speed of the gas.
[0052] When the inert gas filling is completed, the visual sensor on the visual laser welding machine 3 starts to scan the boundary of the heating wire fixing mold 52, and feeds back the scanned image signal to the control cabinet assembly 1. The control cabinet assembly 1 controls the top control platform of the three-axis CNC machining platform 4 to drive the initial welding position of the heating wire fixing mold 52 to the bottom of the visual laser welding machine 3. Then the visual laser welding machine 3 starts welding, and welds the heating wire and the metal electrode through the laser beam. The inert gas filled in the welding outer box 51 will not diffuse outward under the isolation of the high-pressure wind curtain, so the inert gas only maintains a low fluidity and is controlled by the laser. The smoke generated by welding will rise slowly and will not adhere to the surface of the workpiece due to the flow of the protective gas end. At the same time, due to the low-speed flow characteristics of the inert gas, the heat loss rate in the welding area is slowed down, which helps maintain a relatively stable temperature field in the welding area, ensures the effective input and utilization of welding energy, and prevents the smoke from condensing directly around the welding area due to low temperature, thereby improving the overall quality of laser welding. At the same time, during the welding process, the high-pressure air curtain blown out from the air curtain blow tube 53 enters the inside of the diversion box 576 through the air bearing tube 552, the linear exhaust groove 5962 and the second air exhaust pipe 595, thereby quickly dissipating the heat of a number of heat dissipation fins 575.
[0053] After welding in one target area is completed, the three-axis CNC machining platform 4 will drive the heating wire welding box assembly 5 to move to the right, and then drive another welding target area to move to the bottom of the visual laser welding machine 3. When the heating wire welding box assembly 5 is quickly driven by the three-axis CNC machining platform 4, the shunt component 596 will approach the direction of the spring frame 597 due to the moving inertia of the heating wire welding box assembly 5, and the trigger protrusion 5966 will squeeze the trigger switch 598. After the trigger switch 598 is squeezed, the trigger signal will be fed back to the control cabinet assembly 1. Then the control cabinet assembly 1 controls the electromagnet 599 to be energized quickly, so that the electromagnet 599 is adsorbed inside the suction groove 5967. At this time, the straight exhaust groove 5962 connects the air cylinder 552 with the first air exhaust pipe 594, and the air intake bend groove 5964 connects the exhaust hose 593 with the inner cavity of the welding outer box 51. The high-pressure air curtain blown out by the air curtain blow tube 53 passes through the air cylinder 552 and the first air exhaust pipe 594 and blows into the fan housing 561. The driving fan 564 starts to rotate rapidly, and then drives the rotating wheel 565 to rotate. Under the rotation of the rotating wheel 565, the driving rod 566 will be driven by the hinge plate 568 to continuously extend and retract inside the air outlet cylinder 562. Each time it extends forward, the valve piston plate 567 will fill the protective gas entering the air outlet cylinder 562 from the exhaust hose 593 into the gas pre-storage box 571. When the valve piston plate 567 retracts, the one-way valve plate on the valve piston plate 567 opens. Open, so that the protective gas comes to the rear of the valved piston plate 567, and the pumping and pressure of the valved piston plate 567 continues, and the protective gas originally filled in the welding outer box 51 will enter the gas pre-storage box 571, and at the same time, the protective gas will lead the smoke to be discharged into the gas pre-storage box 571, and the protective gas pre-stored in the gas pre-storage box 571 will flow into the welding outer box 51, thereby realizing the circulation of the protective gas between the welding outer box 51 and the circulation filter mechanism 57.
[0054] It should be noted that after the trigger switch 598 is triggered, the control cabinet assembly 1 will control the electromagnet 599 to be energized within several seconds. The energization time of the electromagnet 599 can be obtained from the wind pressure of the wind curtain and the volume of the welding outer box 51 after a limited number of experiments.
[0055] After the protective gas and the flue gas flow back into the gas pre-storage box 571, they will first pass through the replaceable filter element 572, which will filter the flue gas in the protective gas. The protective gas that then flows into the gas pre-storage box 571 will be cooled by a plurality of heat dissipating fins 575 so that after the protective gas flows back into the welding outer box 51, the surface of the workpiece can be cooled to a certain extent to prevent the workpiece temperature from being too high and causing thermal deformation problems.
[0056] In addition, the gas pre-storage box 571 is also provided with air pressure and temperature detection equipment, which can be selected as an air pressure sensor and a temperature sensor, both of which are electrically connected to the control cabinet assembly 1. When the air pressure loss inside the gas pre-storage box 571 is lower than the threshold value set by the air pressure detection equipment, the protective gas will be added to the gas pre-storage box 571 through the second air inlet valve 578, so that the air pressure in the gas pre-storage box 571 is maintained within a stable range, and the temperature monitoring equipment can monitor the temperature of the protective gas flowing into the gas pre-storage box 571 in real time. When the temperature of the protective gas is lower than the set threshold value, the second air inlet valve 578 is reduced. 8, and open the first air inlet valve 577. The protective gas introduced by the first air inlet valve 577 can be selected as an inert gas with a high heat dissipation level such as helium. The specific gravity of helium is lower than that of argon, so helium will accumulate in the upper area inside the gas pre-storage box 571, and it will preferentially flow out from the exhaust valve 579, and the three-way valve 574 will switch the pipeline to connect with the blocking airbag 583. At this time, the outflowing wind curtain airflow will cause the blocking airbag 583 to start to collide, and the helium will flow out from the outer surface of the heating wire fixing mold 52, thereby fully taking away the surface temperature of the workpiece, thereby avoiding deformation of the workpiece due to excessively high welding temperature.
[0057] It should be noted that the control PC2 serves as the upper control unit of the control cabinet assembly 1, while the temperature detection device, air pressure detection device, exhaust valve 579, second air intake valve 578, three-way valve 574, trigger switch 598 and electromagnet 599 are all lower execution units of the control cabinet assembly 1. The control cabinet assembly 1 is connected to each industrial control device according to a preset topology structure by means of wired / wireless communication connection means. The topology structure includes but is not limited to star type, bus type, ring type, etc., so that the computer can centrally control and coordinate the industrial control equipment.
[0058] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
