Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of laser welding equipment, and in particular to an environmentally friendly metal steel plate full-automatic laser welding device and method. Background Art
[0002] Laser welding uses a high-energy-density laser beam as a heat source. When the laser beam irradiates the surface of a metal steel plate, the energy of the photon is absorbed by the atoms on the surface of the steel plate, increasing the internal energy of the atoms. These atoms transfer energy to the surrounding atoms by colliding with each other, thereby rapidly increasing the temperature of the steel plate and the surface of the welding material, and realizing the welding of two or more steel plates. However, metals generally have a certain reflectivity, and the surface of a metal steel plate that has been highlighted is smoother. This smooth surface will lead to enhanced laser reflection. According to Fresnel's law, when a laser beam irradiates the metal surface, a part of the light will be reflected. For a highlighted metal plate, its high reflectivity may cause a considerable part of the laser energy to be effectively not absorbed by the metal for welding. At the same time, during the laser welding process, spatter may be generated when the welding material melts and solidifies. These spattered small particles may also rebound into the laser head and adhere to the lens. In addition, the smoke generated during welding contains impurities such as metal particles, and the smoke is easy to contact and contaminate the lens during the flow process.

[0013] Preferably, an environmentally friendly fully automatic laser welding method for metal steel plates comprises the following steps: S1. First, fix the steel plates to be welded by the clamps on both sides. Then, the clamps on both sides and the steel plates to be welded are driven closer by the thread jacking machine. The thread jacking machine is used to precisely control the reserved gap between the steel plates to be welded. At this time, the light-emitting frame starts to work. S2. The light-emitting frame emits direct light downward, so that the shadow of the steel plate to be welded is mapped onto the projection plate. The industrial camera inside the steel plate laser welding device recognizes the edge contour of the projection, calculates the coordinate points and transmits them to the welding robot arm. The positioning plate assists the welding robot arm to mark the zero point before laser welding. S3. During welding, the feed pump will start working synchronously.

During welding, the air pump starts to work synchronously with the operation of the welding robot arm. S5. The cooling gas is input into the gas chamber through the air pump through the ventilation pipe. After entering the gas chamber, the gas will come into contact with the guide vane. The continuous entry of the cooling airflow will force the guide vane and the swivel to rotate. When the guide vane and the swivel rotate, the cooling gas will be ejected from the air port in a spiral shape to form a ring-shaped air column, which can clean up the harmful gas and fine impurities generated during welding, and protect the nozzle at the laser head port to prevent the flying particles generated during welding from being reflected into the laser channel when splashing.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention emits direct light downward through the work of the light-emitting frame, so that the shadow of the steel plate to be welded is mapped onto the projection plate. The industrial camera inside the steel plate laser welding device can identify the edge contour of the projection, and can cooperate with the machine vision system to calculate the path coordinates of the gap to be welded, and can transmit them to the welding robot arm through Bluetooth. The positioning plate can assist the welding robot arm to mark the zero point before laser welding, realize coordinate update, and facilitate path planning, thereby realizing automatic welding work and reducing the time wasted in manual programming, especially for curved welds, with a higher efficiency improvement effect.
[0015] 2. During welding, the feed pump will start working synchronously. Through the work of the feed pump, the black organic coating can be input into the nozzle through the feed pipe and sprayed out through the nozzle, so as to realize the spraying of the metal at the welding gap. The sprayed black organic coating can effectively improve the absorption efficiency of the steel plate to be welded for laser energy during welding, thereby avoiding the situation that when welding the highlighted metal plate, the high reflectivity of its surface may make a considerable part of the laser energy not effectively absorbed by the metal for welding, resulting in poor welding quality, which is beneficial to improve the welding effect.
[0016] 3. By receiving the data of the width of the gap to be welded obtained by the industrial camera, the control box can start the servo motor accordingly. The operation of the servo motor will drive the threaded rod to rotate, and the rotation of the threaded rod can drive the cross frame to rotate. The movement of the cross frame will utilize the limit columns and guide grooves on both sides to adjust the inclination angles and port directions of the two nozzles, so that the black organic coating can better cover the path of the laser, which is conducive to coping with different welding scenarios.
[0017] 4. During welding, as the welding robot arm works, the air pump starts working synchronously. The air pump can input the cooling gas into the air bin through the ventilation pipe. After entering the air bin, the gas will come into contact with the guide vane. The continuous entry of the cooling airflow will force the guide vane and the swivel to rotate. When the guide vane and the swivel rotate, the cooling gas will be ejected from the air port in a spiral shape, thereby effectively enhancing the cleaning effect of the cooling airflow on the harmful gases and fine impurities generated during welding, which is beneficial to practical use.
[0018] 5. The air port is an annular opening, so that a continuous annular air column can be formed at the port of the laser head to fully protect the port of the laser head and prevent flying particles generated during welding from being reflected into the laser channel when splashing, causing damage to the internal lens of the laser head. In addition, the annular air column can pre-clean the unwelded part in advance to prevent fine dust from existing on the steel plate to be welded, which will be subsequently integrated into the welding liquid and affect the welding quality. At the same time, the welding liquid after welding can be quickly cooled to prevent impurities from falling into the welding liquid before it is cooled and solidified, which is beneficial to the actual welding work. At the same time, the air chamber is set above the nozzle at the port of the laser head. When the cooling air ring blows downward, it will simultaneously cool the nozzle of the laser head, thereby effectively improving the service life of the nozzle and greatly extending the replacement cycle of the nozzle, which is beneficial to long-term use.

[0026] Among them, an environmentally friendly metal steel plate fully automatic laser welding method includes the following steps: S1, first fix the steel plates 103 to be welded by the clamps 109 on both sides, then drive the clamps 109 on both sides and the steel plates 103 to be welded closer by the operation of the threaded jacking machine 108, and realize the precise control of the reserved gap between the steel plates 103 to be welded by the threaded jacking machine 108, and then the light-emitting frame 105 starts to work; S2, the light-emitting frame 105 emits direct light downward, so that the shadow of the steel plate 103 to be welded is mapped onto the projection plate 118, the industrial camera inside the steel plate laser welding device 1 recognizes the edge contour of the projection, and calculates the coordinate points and transmits them to the welding robot 106, and the positioning plate 112 assists the welding robot 106 to mark the zero point before laser welding; S3.

After entering the gas bin 124, the gas comes into contact with the guide vane 126. The continuous entry of the cooling airflow forces the guide vane 126 and the swivel 127 to rotate. When the guide vane 126 and the swivel 127 rotate, the cooling gas is ejected from the gas port 128 in a spiral shape to form an annular gas column, which cleans up harmful gases and fine impurities generated during welding, and protects the nozzle at the port of the laser head 111 to prevent flying particles generated during welding from being reflected into the laser channel when splashing.
[0027] Working principle: In actual use, people can first fix the steel plates 103 to be welded by the clamps 109 on both sides, and then the clamps 109 on both sides and the steel plates 103 to be welded can be driven closer by the operation of the threaded jacking machine 108. The threaded jacking machine 108 can realize the precise control of the reserved gap between the steel plates 103 to be welded. At this time, the light-emitting frame 105 starts to work, and the light-emitting frame 105 emits direct light downward, so that the shadow of the steel plate 103 to be welded is mapped onto the projection plate 118. The industrial camera inside the steel plate laser welding device 1 can identify the edge contour of the projection, and can cooperate with the machine vision system to calculate the path coordinates of the gap to be welded, and can transmit it to the welding robot arm 106 via Bluetooth, and through the positioning plate 11 2 Before laser welding, the auxiliary welding robot arm 106 can be used to mark the zero point, update the coordinates, and facilitate path planning, thereby realizing automatic welding work and reducing the time wasted in manual programming. In particular, it has a higher efficiency improvement effect when dealing with curved welds. During welding, the feed pump will start working synchronously. Through the work of the feed pump, the black organic coating can be input into the nozzle 130 through the feed pipe and sprayed out through the nozzle 130, thereby realizing the spraying of the metal at the gap to be welded. The sprayed black organic coating can effectively improve the absorption efficiency of the laser energy by the steel plate 103 to be welded during welding, thereby avoiding the situation that when welding a bright metal plate, the high reflectivity of its surface may make a considerable part of the laser energy ineffective. The situation that the welding quality is poor due to the absorption of the metal for welding is improved. In this process, by receiving the data of the width of the gap to be welded obtained by the industrial camera, the control box can start the servo motor 132 accordingly. The operation of the servo motor 132 can drive the threaded rod 133 to rotate, and the rotation of the threaded rod 133 can drive the cross frame 104 to rotate. The movement of the cross frame 104 can utilize the limit columns 119 on both sides to cooperate with the guide groove 125 to adjust the inclination angle and port orientation of the two nozzles 130, so that the black organic coating can better cover the path where the laser passes, which is beneficial to cope with different welding scenarios. The continuous operation of the wire supply wheel can continuously introduce the welding wire into the wire supply head 12 0, to achieve stable continuous welding work. During welding, as the welding robot arm 106 works, the air pump starts to work synchronously, and the cooling gas can be input into the gas chamber 124 through the air pump through the vent pipe 123. After entering the gas chamber 124, the gas will start to contact the guide vane 126. The continuous entry of the cooling airflow will force the guide vane 126 and the rotating ring 127 to rotate. When the guide vane 126 and the rotating ring 127 rotate, the cooling gas will be ejected from the air port 128 in a spiral shape, thereby effectively enhancing the cleaning effect of the cooling airflow on the harmful gas and fine impurities generated during welding, which is beneficial to actual use. At the same time, the air port 128 is an annular opening, so that a continuous annular air column can be formed at the port of the laser head 111.The laser head 111 port is fully protected to prevent the flying particles generated during welding from being reflected into the laser channel when splashing and damaging the lens inside the laser head 111. The annular gas column can pre-clean the unwelded part in advance to prevent fine dust from existing on the steel plate 103 to be welded, which will be subsequently dissolved into the welding liquid and affect the welding quality. At the same time, the welding liquid after welding can be quickly cooled to prevent impurities from falling into the welding liquid before it is cooled and solidified, which is beneficial to the actual welding work. At the same time, the gas chamber 124 is arranged above the nozzle of the laser head 111 port. When the cooling gas ring blows downward, it will cool the nozzle of the laser head 111 synchronously, thereby effectively improving the service life of the nozzle and greatly extending the replacement cycle of the nozzle, which is beneficial to long-term use.
