Among them, the four storage columns are independently welded with a limiting frame for limiting the welding wire. During welding, the welding wire required for the previous welding will be retained in the guide frame, and when the welding wire inside the storage guide frame is stored to the outside of the storage column, a section of the welding wire can be reserved and clamped by a pair of third extrusion blocks. The clamping of the pair of third extrusion blocks makes it convenient for the storage column to rotate and release the material, so that the welding wire can flow into the guide frame again quickly, efficiently and stably, which is convenient for raising the welding wire, so that the welding wire can cope with different welding materials.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0021] Example 1: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a laser welding head with a rotary wire feeding function of the present embodiment includes a laser emitting end 4. After the laser emitted from the laser emitting end 4 contacts the material to be welded, it melts the irradiated position and realizes welding. The welding wire and the shielding gas required in the welding process are stored additionally on one side of the laser emitting end 4. A storage barrel 6 is provided on one side of the outside of the laser emitting end 4. A connecting frame 14 is provided in the middle of the storage barrel 6. Four storage columns 15 are evenly distributed around the outside of the connecting frame 14 and the inner wall of the storage barrel 6. Four types of welding auxiliary welding wires can be respectively wound around the outside of the storage column 15. The center position of one end of the storage column 15 is rotatably connected with the connecting frame 14. The outer wall of the connecting frame 14 is respectively provided with a second motor 26 facing the four storage columns 15, and the output shaft of the second motor 26 passes through the connecting frame 14 and is welded and fixed to the center position of the storage column 15. The storage column 15 can be rotated by the output of the second motor 26, and the rotation of the storage column 15 is responsible for the release and recovery of the externally wound welding wire. Among them, Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, an extension rod 16 is extended from one end of the connecting frame 14 toward the storage column 15, a limiting frame 17 is provided at one end of the extension rod 16, and third extrusion blocks 23 are provided on both sides of the limiting frame 17. A pair of third extrusion blocks 23 clamp one end of the welding wire wrapped around the outside of the storage column 15. When the welding wire inside the guide frame 5 is recovered, the welding wire is stored in the clamping position inside the limiting frame 17, and one end of the welding wire wrapped around the outside of the storage column 15 is clamped by the third extrusion block 23, which is convenient for releasing and discharging the welding wire, and convenient for the welding wire to be stably transmitted toward the inside of the guide frame 5 after being restricted by a pair of third extrusion blocks 23. like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to avoid the shielding gas failing to completely cover the welding position and causing a reduction in the welding effect, a fan 9 is provided on one side in the middle of the lower end of the storage barrel 6, and three gas storage tanks 10 are transversely provided at the rear end of the storage barrel 6, and the outside of the gas storage tank 10 is stuck on the outside of the storage barrel 6, and the lower ends of the three gas storage tanks 10 are sealed with electronic gas valves 11 for controlling the gas release, and the lower ends of the three electronic gas valves 11 and the gas inlet of the fan 9 are sealed and connected by a four-way pipe 12, and after one of the electronic gas valves 11 is opened, the fan 9 can extract and release the corresponding shielding gas from the four-way pipe 12; Among them, the air outlet of the fan 9 is sealed and connected to the middle position of the lower end of the storage barrel 6. After one of the electronic gas valves 11 is opened, the gas extracted by the fan 9 will be directly transmitted to the storage barrel 6. The gas transmitted to the inside of the storage barrel 6 will flow into the guide frame 5 along with the welding wire through the transmission cavity 13. The protective gas will completely wrap the welding wire inside the guide frame 5 and finally be discharged from the extension block 19 together with the welding wire: In addition, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first motor 25 is disposed in the middle of the upper end of the storage barrel 6, and the output shaft of the first motor 25 passes through the storage barrel 6 and is welded and fixed to the upper end of the connecting frame 14. The output shaft of the first motor 25 can adjust the four storage columns 15, the four storage columns 15 and the welding wire surrounding the outside; In order to ensure that the welding wire can be stably fed into the lower end of the laser emitting end 4 after being transmitted into the transmission cavity 13, a transmission cavity 13 is provided on the side of the storage barrel 6 facing the laser emitting end 4, and a guide frame 5 is provided at the lower end of the transmission cavity 13. The guide frame 5 is welded and fixed to the lower end of the storage barrel 6. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the guide frame 5 is located on one side of the laser emitting end 4, and an extension block 19 is provided at the lower end of the guide frame 5 extending toward the lower end of the laser emitting end 4, and the angle between the extension block 19 and the guide frame 5 is ninety degrees. After being guided by the guide frame 5, the welding wire will bend and approach the welding position during the transmission process toward the extension block 19; In order to stably transmit the welding wire in the guide frame 5, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, first extrusion blocks 21 are provided at both ends of the guide frame 5 and at both sides of the middle position. The welding wire transmitted to the transmission cavity 13 is clamped by three pairs of first extrusion blocks 21 and stably transmitted toward the extension block 19. like Figure 4 As shown, in addition, a second extrusion block 22 is provided at the position of the first extrusion block 21 on the lower end side of the extension block 19 toward the inside of the guide frame 5. When the welding wire transmitted through the guide frame 5 is transmitted to the inside of the extension block 19, the pair of first extrusion blocks 21 are clamped and transformed into a first extrusion block 21 and a second extrusion block 22 to clamp the welding wire. The transmission of the welding wire is completed by clamping, so that the welding wire can be stably discharged from the position of the extension block 19.
[0022] In order to prevent the welding wire from being bent between two adjacent pairs of first extrusion blocks 21 and causing the welding wire to be stuck inside the guide frame 5, first guide bars 18 are provided on both sides between the two adjacent pairs of first extrusion blocks 21, and the first guide bars 18 are welded and fixed to the guide frame 5. The front and rear ends of the first extrusion block 21 are connected to the inside of the guide frame 5 for rotation, and the front and rear ends of the second extrusion block 22 are connected to the inside of the extension block 19 for rotation. When the first extrusion block 21 and the second extrusion block 22 rotate, the friction generated during the transmission of the welding wire can be offset, thereby improving the welding effect. In order to understand the remaining amount of welding wire outside the storage column 15, Figure 4 As shown, an infrared rangefinder 24 is provided on one side of the upper end of the transmission cavity 13, and the infrared rangefinder 24 is aimed at one of the storage columns 15 close to the transmission cavity 13, and the distance of the welding wire wrapped around the outside of the storage column 15 is measured by the infrared rangefinder 24, and the length of the distance corresponds to the amount of the welding wire wrapped around the outside; In order to facilitate the control of the selection of the storage column 15 and the gas storage tank 10, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a display screen 8 is provided on one side of the outside of the storage barrel 6, and the display screen 8 can display the selected welding wire and shielding gas; In order to avoid the welding wire from colliding between the extension block 19 and the bending position of the guide frame 5, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, a second guide strip 20 in the shape of a quarter circle is provided between the extension block 19 and the guide frame 5; In addition, if Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, the anti-solder dredging head assembly 27 includes: a sealing shell 28, the sealing shell 28 is fixedly embedded in the extension block 19 and located at the end thereof, a guide channel 29 is provided at the tail of the sealing shell 28 and is communicated with the internal channel of the extension block 19, a receiving groove 31 is opened in the sealing shell 28, an inner push sealing tube 32 is movably arranged in the receiving groove 31, and a return spring 33 is sleeved on the outer wall of the inner push sealing tube 32, and the inner push sealing tube 32 is connected to the inner wall of the sealing shell 28 through the return spring 33, one end of a connecting pipe 34 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sealing shell 28, and the tail of the connecting pipe 34 is connected to the guide channel 29 through a sealing ring 30, the other end of the connecting pipe 34 is movably extended into the inner push sealing tube 32, one end of the connecting pipe 34 extending into the inner push sealing tube 32 is fixedly sleeved with a limiting ring 36, the inner wall of the inner push sealing tube 32 is symmetrically provided with guide grooves 35, and the limiting ring 36 is slidably connected to the guide groove 35, The sealing shell 28 and the end of the inner push sealing tube 32 are both conical head structures. The inner wall of the inner push sealing tube 32 is rotatably provided with an opening and closing baffle 1 38, and a torsion spring is provided on the rotating shaft of the opening and closing baffle 1 38. An avoidance groove 44 is provided in the conical head of the inner push sealing tube 32. The limiting connecting rod 40 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the avoidance groove 44. A reset spring 2 39 is installed in the avoidance groove 44. The connecting pipe 2 37 is movably provided in the conical head of the inner push sealing tube 32, and the connecting pipe 2 37 is provided outside. A guide member 41 is fixedly provided on the wall, one end of the limiting connecting rod 40 away from the inner wall of the inner push sealing tube 32 is movably provided in the guide member 41, one end of the return spring 39 close to the guide member 41 is fixedly connected to the guide member 41, a discharge pipe 42 is fixedly embedded in the conical head structure of the sealing shell 28, and an opening and closing baffle 43 is rotatably provided at the outlet of the discharge pipe 42, and a torsion spring is provided on the rotating shaft of the opening and closing baffle 43, and a card slot 45 is opened on the inner wall of the conical head of the sealing shell 28.
[0023] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above scheme are as follows: when in use, the fan 9 actively extracts the protective gas stored in the gas storage tank 10, so that the protective gas flows into the storage barrel 6 and enters the transmission chamber 13 together with the welding wire, and enters the guide frame 5 before the welding wire, passes through the guide channel 29 inside it, enters the connecting pipe 34, and enters the inner push sealing tube 32 along the connecting pipe 34 to accumulate. Since the inner push sealing tube 32 is in a sealed state, more and more gas accumulated inside it will push the inner push sealing tube 32 to move along the limiting ring 36 toward the conical direction close to the sealing shell 28, until the connecting pipe 37 enters the discharge pipe 42 and pushes the opening and closing baffle 43 outward, while clearing the discharge pipe 42, thereby preventing the solder liquid splashing during the soldering process from clogging the channel. When the guide member 41 arranged on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 37 enters the card slot 45, the connecting pipe 3 7 cannot move, and the gas in the inner push sealing tube 32 continues to increase, so that the conical head of the inner push sealing tube 32 continues to move along the guide member 41 through the limit connecting rod 40 and compresses the reset spring 2 39. At this time, the tail of the connecting pipe 2 37 pushes the opening and closing baffle 1 38 to open. At this point, the guide channel 29, the connecting pipe 1 34, the connecting pipe 2 37, and the discharge pipe 42 are all connected so that the welding wire can be discharged while the protective gas is discharged. The above method can prevent the solder liquid splashed during the soldering process from clogging the guide frame 5, and when the soldering is completed and the welding wire is recovered, the opening and closing baffle 1 38 and the opening and closing baffle 2 43 are closed under the action of the torsion spring, and the reset spring 1 33 and the reset spring 2 39 can also synchronously drive the inner push sealing tube 32 and the connecting pipe 1 34 to reset. At this time, the connecting pipe 2 37 is once again moved to clear the discharge pipe 42 to prevent blockage.
[0024] Example 2: Since the laser welding head has a rotating wire feeding function, the welding operation is performed through the synergistic effect of the laser emitting end, welding wire, and shielding gas. During the welding process, the laser emitting end melts the material to be welded through a high-power laser, while the welding wire and shielding gas are sent out from the storage barrel and transmitted to the welding point through the transmission cavity. In order to ensure the accuracy and stability of welding, the following multiple sensors are used to monitor and control multiple key variables in the welding process.
[0025] A laser power density sensor is installed in front of the laser emitting end 4 and is directly aligned with the laser beam to monitor the actual output value of the laser power; An infrared temperature sensor is installed on the side or above the laser emitting end 4 to ensure that its viewing angle is not disturbed by the laser beam and can clearly receive the temperature information of the welding area; A photoelectric sensor is installed in the wire feeding area before the welding wire enters the transmission cavity 13, and the sensor is placed parallel to the welding wire to detect the movement speed of the welding wire; Flow sensor, installed in the gas flow pipeline, ensures real-time monitoring of the shielding gas flow entering the welding area; 3D vision sensor, installed between the welding head and the welding surface, used to scan the shape and depth of the welding surface; The controller and the alarm are arranged on the frame of the outer wall of the laser welding head shell; The controller controls the alarm to work based on the laser power density sensor, infrared temperature sensor, photoelectric sensor, flow sensor, and 3D vision sensor, including the following steps: Step 1: The controller calculates the control coefficient of the laser welding head during the welding process based on the detection values of the laser power density sensor, infrared temperature sensor, photoelectric sensor, flow sensor, and 3D vision sensor and formula 1: in, is the control coefficient during welding, Indicates the laser power output value detected by the laser power density sensor; Indicates the temperature of the welding area detected by the temperature sensor; Indicates the wire feeding speed detected by the photoelectric sensor; Indicates the protective gas flow rate detected by the flow sensor; Indicates the actual size of the welding surface scanned by the 3D vision sensor; Indicates the preset welding surface size, Indicates the actual gas flow rate; represents the reference gas flow rate; Step 2: The controller calculates the accuracy index of the laser welding head based on step 1 and formula (2): in, is the accuracy index of the laser welding head, Indicates the preset reference temperature; Indicates the preset wire feeding speed; Step 3: The controller compares the accuracy index of the laser welding head with a preset accuracy index. When the accuracy index of the laser welding head is less than the preset accuracy index, the controller controls the alarm to issue an alarm prompt.
[0026] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above scheme are as follows: Since welding accuracy directly affects the quality and stability of the welded joint, if multiple factors such as laser power, wire feeding speed, temperature, gas flow rate, etc. are out of control during the welding process, the strength of the welded joint may be reduced or even fail. The above two formulas can be used to quantify and optimize various parameters of the welding process.
[0027] in, Indicates the laser power output detected by the laser power density sensor. The intensity of the laser during welding determines the heating effect of the welding area. Too low power density may result in insufficient welding, while too high power may overheat the welding point and affect the strength of the joint.
[0028] The temperature of the welding zone detected by the temperature sensor. Too high or too low temperature during welding will affect the quality of the weld. If the temperature is uneven, it may cause the heat affected zone to be unstable, forming cracks or pores.
[0029] The wire feeding speed directly affects the size and shape of the weld. If the wire feeding speed is too fast, it may cause the molten pool to overflow; if it is too slow, it may cause inadequate welding.
[0030] The function of shielding gas is to isolate impurities in the air and prevent oxidation. Unstable or too low gas flow may lead to unsatisfactory shielding effect and affect welding quality.
[0031] The actual size of the welding surface. The welding surface shape is detected in real time by 3D vision sensors. If the actual welding surface is significantly different from the expected one, it may affect the strength and stability of the welding.
[0032] The reference welding surface size. Ideally, the welding surface should conform to the predetermined shape and size, and the 3D vision sensor is used to compare it with the actual surface to evaluate the welding accuracy.
[0033] is the actual gas flow rate. The gas flow rate is crucial to the stability of the protected welding area. If the gas flow rate is too high or too low, it may affect the protection effect and welding quality.
[0034] Therefore, in formula (1) It reflects the balance between laser power and welding temperature and wire feeding speed and gas flow rate. Too high or too low power and temperature ratio will affect welding quality. Describes the deviation of the weld surface morphology. If the actual surface morphology differs too much from the reference surface morphology, it may lead to a decrease in weld quality. Describes the impact of the shielding gas coverage and welding stability in the welding area. If the gas flow rate deviation is too large, it will affect the effectiveness of the shielding gas. In formula (II) It means that if the welding temperature deviation is large, it will lead to performance differences in the welded joint, affecting the strength and quality of the weld. It means that the wire feeding speed directly affects the size of the weld line, and too large deviation may lead to uneven welding. It means that the deviation of the welding surface shape affects the quality of the joint, and too large a deviation will lead to unstable welding strength.
[0035] By combining the control factors of the welding process (such as laser power, temperature, wire speed, gas flow, etc.) with the real-time feedback of welding accuracy (such as surface shape, wire depth, etc.) in the two formulas, the two formulas not only increase the accuracy of the welding process, but also greatly improve the practicality and stability of the welding head.
[0036] 1. Real-time monitoring and feedback mechanism: By introducing sensor monitoring, various key parameters in the welding process can be monitored in real time. The formula calculation results will help the system understand the current status of each variable and make precise adjustments based on real-time data.
[0037] 2. Optimize welding quality: By optimizing control parameters (such as wire feeding speed, gas flow, laser power, etc.), each link of the welding process can be ensured to be in the best state. In this way, common problems in the welding process (such as too high or too low temperature, insufficient gas flow, unstable wire feeding, etc.) can be avoided, and the strength and stability of the welded joint can be effectively improved.
[0038] 3. Reduce manual intervention: Since the formula takes into account multiple welding variables, technicians only need to set the initial parameters, and the system can automatically adjust the welding process according to real-time data, reducing manual intervention and improving work efficiency and welding consistency.
[0039] The above methods can comprehensively and accurately control all important parameters in the welding process. This precise control can not only improve the accuracy of welding, but also reduce errors and ensure that the welded joint has higher stability and strength. Through real-time monitoring and adjustment, a high degree of automation and optimization is achieved, which greatly improves the practicality of the welding head and also demonstrates the innovation of the technology.
