Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of laser welding, and particularly relates to a short-pulse laser-assisted continuous laser welding device and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the development of modern industry, high-performance materials are increasingly used in various fields, such as aerospace, automotive manufacturing, shipbuilding, sports equipment, and electronic products. These fields require not only strength and durability but also lightweight, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature resistance.
[0003] Traditional welding techniques often fail to meet the welding requirements of these high-performance materials, especially when dealing with dissimilar materials, such as the welding between metals and composites.
[0004] For example, titanium alloys have high reflectivity to near-infrared wavelengths (such as 1064 nm) of laser light, meaning that most of the laser energy is reflected, and only a small amount is absorbed by the titanium alloy. While this helps to reduce the heat-affected zone of the titanium alloy, avoiding excessive heating and deformation, it also increases the difficulty of welding.
[0005] On the other hand, thermoplastic resins have high absorption rates for near-infrared wavelengths (such as 1064 nm) of laser light, and laser energy can be effectively absorbed by the thermoplastic resin layer, causing it to rapidly heat up and melt. However, if the laser energy is not properly controlled, it can easily cause the resin to overheat and burn.
[0006] In addition, the resin part of thermoset composites also has some absorption ability for near-infrared wavelengths of laser light, but the absorption rate is lower compared to thermoplastic resins. Carbon fibers have good absorption for ultraviolet wavelengths (such as 355 nm) of laser light, but poor absorption for near-infrared wavelengths (such as 1064 nm). SUMMARY SUMMARY
[0008] To solve the problems raised in the background art, the present application provides a short-pulse laser-assisted continuous laser welding device and method.
[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical solution: a short-pulse laser-assisted continuous laser welding method, comprising the following steps:

[0012] S2, dividing the welding area, dividing the entire welding area into small areas;
[0013] S3, extracting features of the small areas;
[0014] The feature extraction method is: using a three-dimensional scanner to scan each small area to extract features including flatness, thickness and curvature;
[0015] S4, constructing a speed mapping table according to the different features extracted;
[0016] S5, planning a laser scanning path according to the speed mapping table;
[0017] Further, the size of the small area is a square with a side length of 10-50 mm or a circle with a diameter of 10-50 mm;
[0018] Further, the flatness calculation method is: calculating the standard deviation of the surface height data of each small area, and the calculation formula is: ;
[0019] represents the height value measured by the first measurement point when the small area is three-dimensionally scanned. In the welding process, the height value reflects the relative height of the titanium alloy plate, the carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin composite plate and the PA6 thermoplastic resin film laid on the surface as a whole, is related to the flatness of the laid resin layer, and is used to accurately describe the micro undulation degree of the surface of the welding area;
[0020] represents the average height, i.e. the arithmetic mean of the height values of all measurement points in the small area. is a reference value for measuring the surface height of the entire small area, which is compared with each measurement point height value to calculate the degree of dispersion of the height, and then determine the flatness;
[0021] is the number of measurement points. The more the number of measurement points, the more accurate the evaluation of the flatness of the surface of the small area. In feature extraction, the number depends on the sampling density setting of the three-dimensional scanner used, and high-density sampling can capture the surface features of the welding area more meticulously, providing sufficient data support for accurate calculation of flatness.
[0022] represents the discrete degree of the surface height of the small area relative to the average height The greater the standard deviation, the greater the variation in surface height, i.e. the worse the flatness; the smaller the standard deviation, the flatter the surface.
[0023] The thickness calculation method is to calculate the average thickness of each small area, and the calculation formula is ;

By calculating the curvature with respect to the second-order partial derivative of about , the bending change of the surface in the horizontal direction can be accurately described, so as to fully grasp the shape characteristics of the welding area, so that the laser scanning path and welding speed and other parameters can be adjusted according to the curvature during the welding process, to ensure that the laser energy can be uniformly distributed in the area with larger curvature, and to ensure the consistency of the welding quality.
[0030] represents the calculated maximum curvature, which represents the maximum value of the bending degree of the surface in the small area. In welding, the change of curvature will cause the change of the incident angle and energy distribution of the laser on the surface, affecting the melting of the resin and the bonding effect with other materials. Accurate calculation of curvature is conducive to optimizing the welding process parameters and ensuring the welding quality.

[0039] Further, the laser scanning path planning method is:
[0040] A grid method or Dijkstra algorithm is used to generate a preliminary scanning path for each small area, ensuring that the path covers the entire small area and reduces the path length as much as possible.
[0041] A path optimization algorithm (such as genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization algorithm, etc.) is used to optimize the generated path, ensuring that the path is the shortest and uniformly distributed, and the laser beam can uniformly cover the area with large curvature.
[0042] A connection algorithm (such as Traveling Salesman Problem TSP algorithm) is used to connect the paths of each small area into a complete path, ensuring the continuity and integrity of the path, and optimizing the path connection to ensure the shortest total length of the path.
[0043] Further: Short pulse laser and continuous laser are used in cooperation to enable the laser energy to be accurately focused on the PA6 thermoplastic resin film according to the plan, so as to rapidly heat and melt the film and realize stable connection of the material, while strictly controlling the heat affected zone and ensuring high-precision welding, fully utilizing the advantages of different materials and improving the comprehensive performance and durability of the product. The selected laser can be a laser with a wavelength in the near-infrared range (such as 1064nm).
[0044] Further: The division of the welding area into small areas is achieved by using numerical control cutting or laser marking technology to make the area boundary clear and smooth, and the entire welding area is divided without omission or overlap.
[0045] Further: The resolution of the three-dimensional scanner is not less than 0.01mm, the measurement accuracy error is within ±0.005mm, and the scanning process follows the predetermined scanning path and sampling density to ensure that comprehensive and accurate data is obtained.

By dividing the region into small areas, extracting features, and constructing a speed mapping table, the laser energy input is more accurately controlled, further ensuring that the laser energy is distributed as expected, and reducing the heat-affected zone of titanium alloy and thermosetting composite material.
[0055] The short pulse laser-assisted continuous laser welding device and method are based on the high absorption rate of thermoplastic resin to near-infrared wavelength laser, and select appropriate PA6 thermoplastic resin film during material preparation, and ensure uniform laying and flatness during the laying step, so that the resin layer can fully absorb laser energy and rapidly heat up and melt during welding. During the welding process, the laser energy input is adjusted according to the characteristics of the resin layer (such as thickness, flatness, etc.), such as adjusting the welding speed for different resin layer thicknesses during the construction of the speed mapping table, to ensure that the resin layer can be completely melted and well combined with other materials, while not being adversely affected by excessive energy.
[0056] The short pulse laser assisted continuous laser welding device and method selects a laser with a wavelength in the near infrared range (such as 1064 nm), utilizes the characteristics that the resin part in the thermosetting composite material has a certain absorption capacity but is relatively low to the near infrared wavelength laser, and the carbon fiber has poor absorption to the wavelength, reduces the damage to the carbon fiber during the welding process. In the feature extraction step, the features of the composite material region are accurately obtained, and in the speed mapping table construction, the overall situation of the composite material is considered to adjust the welding speed, so that the laser energy mainly acts on the resin part to promote connection, while protecting the structural integrity of the carbon fiber and maintaining the high performance of the composite material. Through this composite technology, the advantages of different materials can be effectively combined to improve the overall performance and durability of the product. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
