[0002] The jewelry microscopic welding device is a professional equipment for jewelry processing, which is mainly applied in the field of fine jewelry making and repairing. The jewelry microscopic welding device utilizes the principle of welding technology, which usually generates high heat through a laser energy source to melt the connecting parts of jewelry materials such as gold, silver, platinum and other metals, and then cools and solidifies to firmly connect each component together. Unlike ordinary welding equipment, it is equipped with a microscope. The microscope can magnify the welding site, allowing the operator to clearly see the fine structure and welding points of the jewelry, so that very fine operations can be performed to ensure the precision and quality of welding.

[0003] Currently, during welding, the jewelry is prone to oxidation reaction with oxygen in the air, causing the surface of the jewelry to discolor, which seriously affects the appearance quality and commercial value of the jewelry. The high temperature generated by the laser causes the material surface to ionize, forming an ion layer that can absorb part of the laser energy, resulting in a decrease in effective laser energy reaching the welding pool. This is like adding an absorption layer in the light path, reducing the utilization rate of the laser. On the other hand, the presence of the ion layer may also cause scattering of the laser energy in local areas, changing the energy distribution of the laser and affecting the shape and size of the molten pool. Therefore, the present application provides a jewelry microscopic welding device and method thereof. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and brief, the present disclosure omits the detailed description of known functions and known components to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concept of the present invention.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A jewelry microscopic welding device is composed of a body 1, a welding bin 2, a laser welding head 3, a microscope 4, a protective head 5, an adjusting head 6, and related control components such as an A electromagnetic valve 7, a B electromagnetic valve 8, an atomizer 9, etc.

[0041] The body 1 serves as the bearing main body of the entire device, which is made of high-strength and stable metal material, providing a solid installation foundation for other components. The welding bin 2 is firmly installed on the body 1, and its internal space provides a special working area for jewelry welding operations, which can effectively prevent the strong light and splashes generated during the welding process from affecting the external environment. The laser welding head 3 is installed at a suitable position of the body 1, ensuring that the laser beam emitted by it can accurately irradiate the jewelry welding position in the welding bin 2, realizing high-quality welding operation. The microscope 4 is also installed on the body 1, which is convenient for the operator to observe the fine structure of the jewelry and the welding position in real time during the welding process, ensuring the precision and quality of the welding.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The pipeline connected with the protective head 5 is provided with an A electromagnetic valve 7, and the release of inert gas on the protective head 5 is controlled through the A electromagnetic valve 7.

[0043] The protective head 5 includes a metal sleeve 51, a threaded bin 52, a gas inlet 53, a light outlet 54, an exhaust port 55, a ring groove 56, a heat dissipation pipe 57 and a semi-circular ring 58. The threaded bin 52 at the top end of the metal sleeve 51 is tightly connected with the laser welding head 3 through the inner wall thread, ensuring the stability and sealing of the connection. The gas inlet 53 on the outside of the metal sleeve 51 extends to the inside of the threaded bin 52, providing a channel for the introduction of inert gas. The light outlet 54 is located in the middle of the metal sleeve 51, ensuring that the laser can pass through smoothly and act on the jewelry welding position. Several groups of exhaust ports 55 are evenly distributed around the light outlet 54, which are used to exhaust inert gas, so that the gas surrounds the laser and is exhausted, the laser is coated, the air outside the laser is exhausted, and the surface of the jewelry is prevented from being oxidized and discolored during the welding process.

[0044] The ring groove 56 is opened on the side of the metal sleeve 51, and the heat dissipation pipe 57 is laid in the surface ring distribution track groove. The ring groove 56 on the side of the protective head 5 is connected by two semi-circular rings 58, which plays a protective and fixing role for the heat dissipation pipe 57. One end of the heat dissipation pipe 57 is connected with the gas inlet 53 through a pipeline, and the other end extends into the threaded bin 52. When the inert gas is introduced from the gas inlet 53, part of it directly enters the threaded bin 52 and is exhausted through the exhaust port 55. In this process, the inert gas can carry away the heat generated by the laser irradiation of the metal sleeve 51. At the same time, the other part of the inert gas enters the heat dissipation pipe 57 to cool the side of the metal sleeve 51, and finally enters the threaded bin 52.

[0045] For example, during continuous welding operation, the continuous work of the laser welding head 3 will cause the temperature of the protective head 5 to rise. At this time, the inert gas circulating in the heat dissipation pipe 57 can effectively reduce the temperature of the protective head 5, and the inert gas can also be cooled through the exhaust port 55, ensuring its normal work and service life.

[0046] The top end of the light outlet 54 is tightly pressed against the laser emitting end of the laser welding head 3 through a sealing ring, ensuring that the inert gas can only be discharged from the several groups of exhaust ports 55. When the A electromagnetic valve 7 is opened, the inert gas enters the protective head 5 from the gas inlet 53, is sprayed out at a certain flow rate through the exhaust port 55, and the air around the welding position is exhausted, forming an inert gas protection area, preventing the jewelry from reacting with oxygen in the air during the welding process, and improving the welding quality.

[0047] Referring to Figure 5 , the adjusting head 6 extends to the inside of the machine body 1 through a pipeline and is installed on the B electromagnetic valve 8. The release of inert gas on the adjusting head 6 is controlled by the B electromagnetic valve 8. The inside of the machine body 1 is provided with an atomizer 9, and the atomizer 9 is communicated with the pipeline connected with the adjusting head 6 through a pipeline, so that the inert gas carries atomized water out during the release process, and the welding position is cooled by the atomized water after welding. The adjusting head 6 can control the on-off of the A electromagnetic valve 7, the B electromagnetic valve 8 and the atomizer 9.

[0048] Referring to Figure 6 , the adjusting head 6 comprises a positioning sleeve 61, a side connecting pipe 62, an internally threaded ring 63, a threaded pipe 64, a piston 65, a positioning head 66, air holes 67, and an anti-torque structure 68. The positioning sleeve 61 is installed at the bottom of the welding chamber 2, and the side connecting pipe 62, which is connected to the bottom of the side of the positioning sleeve 61, extends into the body 1 for connecting to an external source of inert gas and the atomizer 9. The top end of the positioning sleeve 61 extends into the welding chamber 2 and is provided with the rotatable internally threaded ring 63. The threaded pipe 64 in the positioning sleeve 61 slides on the inner wall of the piston 65, and the bottom end of the threaded pipe 64 is provided with the piston 65 outside, which ensures the sealing of the gas passage. The top end of the positioning sleeve 61 is provided with the rotatable positioning head 66, and the positioning head 66 is provided with a plurality of groups of air holes 67 for discharging inert gas. By rotating the internally threaded ring 63, the height of the threaded pipe 64 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the height of the positioning head 66. During the welding process, the jewelry can be placed on the positioning head 66 for welding, and the positioning head 66 can prevent the jewelry from shaking during the holding process. If the positioning head 66 is adjusted to the lowest position, the welding will not be affected.

[0049] Referring to Figure 7 , the anti-torque structure 68 is composed of a bracket 681, a spline shaft 682, and a shaft sleeve 683. The bracket 681 is installed inside the positioning sleeve 61, and the top end of the threaded pipe 64 is rotatably connected to the positioning head 66 through the shaft core. The bottom end of the bracket 681 is provided with the spline shaft 682, the bottom end of the spline shaft 682 is provided with the slidable shaft sleeve 683, and the bottom end of the shaft sleeve 683 is connected to the bottom end of the positioning sleeve 61. When the threaded pipe 64 moves up and down in the positioning sleeve 61, the anti-torque structure 68 can effectively prevent the threaded pipe 64 from being twisted, ensuring its stable operation. For example, during the adjustment process of the adjusting head 6, the lifting action of the threaded pipe 64 may be twisted due to uneven force, and the anti-torque structure 68 can eliminate this tendency, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the adjustment.

[0050] Both the A solenoid valve 7 and the B solenoid valve 8 are direct-acting solenoid valves. When the coil is energized, the direct-acting solenoid valve lifts the closing member from the valve seat under the electromagnetic force generated by the solenoid, and the valve is opened. When the power is off, the electromagnetic force disappears, and the spring presses the closing member against the valve seat, and the valve is closed.

[0051] Referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9, the top end of the threaded pipe 64 is provided with two A contacts L1, two B contacts L2, two C contacts L3 and two D contacts L4 in an annular array, and the two A contacts L1, two B contacts L2 and two C contacts L3 are extended to the inside of the machine body 1 through wires. The bottom end of the positioning head 66 is provided with two E contacts L0, and the two E contacts L0 are communicated through wires. The bottom end of the positioning head 66 is provided with two symmetrically distributed notches, and the two E contacts L0 slide up and down in the two notches. The A contacts L1, B contacts L2, C contacts L3, D contacts L4 and E contacts L0 are all made of magnetic conductive material, and when the E contacts L0 are adsorbed with the A contacts L1, B contacts L2, C contacts L3 and D contacts L4, the circuit is conducted. When the positioning head 66 is rotated, the E contacts L0 will contact with different contacts, so that different control functions are realized.

[0052] Referring to Figure 10 When the two E contacts L0 contact with the two A contacts L1, the circuit is conducted, and the atomizer 9 and the B electromagnetic valve 8 are powered on. At this time, the B electromagnetic valve 8 is opened, the inert gas enters the positioning sleeve 61 from the side connecting pipe 62, and is discharged through the air holes 67 on the threaded pipe 64 and the positioning head 66. At the same time, the atomizer 9 atomizes the water, so that the inert gas carries the atomized water during the release process, and the jewelry after welding is subjected to cooling treatment.

[0053] When the two E contacts L0 contact with the two B contacts L2, the A electromagnetic valve 7 and the B electromagnetic valve 8 are powered on at the same time. The protection head 5 and the adjusting head 6 work at the same time, the protection head 5 discharges the inert gas from the top, and the adjusting head 6 discharges the inert gas from the bottom, the inert gas collides at the same speed, and the airflow impact force is offset, so that a more uniform and powerful inert gas protection layer is formed around the jewelry, the gas coverage area is strengthened, and the welding process is not disturbed by the external air.

[0054] When the two E contacts L0 contact with the two C contacts L3, the B electromagnetic valve 8 is powered on, and the adjusting head 6 works alone to release the inert gas from the bottom of the jewelry to protect the jewelry. This mode is suitable for the case that the use amount of inert gas has certain requirements and the release amount of inert gas needs to be reduced.

[0055] When the two E contacts L0 contact with the two D contacts L4, the circuits of the A electromagnetic valve 7, the B electromagnetic valve 8 and the atomizer 9 are all cut off, and the equipment stops the corresponding gas discharge and atomization cooling functions.

[0056] The inert gas released can be recycled by setting a gas recycling system, so as to avoid waste of the inert gas, and at the same time, adjusting valves need to be arranged in the gas pipelines connecting the protection head 5 and the adjusting head 6, so that the gas flow rates discharged by the protection head 5 and the adjusting head 6 are the same.

[0057] A jewelry microscopic welding method, the specific operation is as follows:

[0058] Preparation before welding: the jewelry to be welded is placed in the welding chamber 2 in a proper position, the observation angle is adjusted through the microscope 4, and it is ensured that the welding position can be clearly observed. It is checked whether the connection of each part of the equipment is stable, whether the electrical circuit is normal, and whether the inert gas source is sufficient.

[0059] Welding process: the adjusting head 6 is adjusted, the positioning head 66 is rotated, the two E contacts L0 are in contact with the two B contacts L2, at this time the A electromagnetic valve 7 and the B electromagnetic valve 8 are opened. The protection head 5 discharges the inert gas through the exhaust port 55, and the adjusting head 6 discharges the inert gas through the air hole 67, so as to form an inert gas protection area around the welding position. The laser welding head 3 is turned on, the worker holds the jewelry to move and weld, and the operator observes the welding in real time through the microscope 4, so as to ensure the welding quality.

[0060] After the welding is completed, the adjusting head 6 is adjusted again, the positioning head 66 is rotated, the two E contacts L0 are in contact with the two A contacts L1, the atomizer 9 and the B electromagnetic valve 8 are opened. The inert gas containing water mist is released in the adjusting head 6, so as to cool the jewelry after welding, and prevent the jewelry from being deformed or the performance from being changed due to high temperature.

[0061] Flexible gas protection adjustment: in some special cases of inert gas consumption, the positioning head 66 is rotated alone through the adjusting head 6, so that the two E contacts L0 are in contact with the two C contacts L3, at this time the B electromagnetic valve 8 is electrified, the inert gas is released in the adjusting head 6, and the jewelry is protected from below, so as to reduce the release amount of the inert gas. When the gas protection and cooling functions are not needed, the positioning head 66 is rotated, so that the two E contacts L0 are in contact with the two D contacts L4, and the A electromagnetic valve 7, the B electromagnetic valve 8 and the atomizer 9 all stop running.

[0062] Through the above specific embodiments, the jewelry microscopic welding equipment of the present application can realize efficient and high-quality jewelry welding operation, effectively protects the welding position through the cooperation of the protection head 5 and the adjusting head 6, improves the welding quality, and meets the needs of different jewelry welding processes through the flexible gas protection and cooling adjustment functions.
