Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of auxiliary devices for laser welding equipment, and particularly relates to an automatic positioning laser welding device. Background Art

[0002] Laser welding is a precision welding method that uses a laser beam with a high energy density as a heat source. This method generates highly concentrated heat energy in a very small area by focusing the laser beam, thereby quickly heating and melting the materials to be welded. Laser welding technology can precisely control parameters such as the width, energy, peak power, and repetition frequency of laser pulses, enabling the materials to melt to form a molten pool, which forms a firm weld seam after cooling. The laser beam can be focused to a very small diameter, making laser welding very suitable for precision welding of micro and small parts. Compared with traditional welding methods, laser welding is faster and improves production efficiency. The most common existing laser welding equipment is a laser welder, which is a device used for laser welding of workpieces during industrial production and has been widely used in the industrial production field.

[0003] When the existing laser welder is in use, it is first placed in an appropriate position, and the laser emitter of the laser welding emits laser. The welding rod is placed at an oblique angle to the laser to heat and weld. It has been found during the use of the existing laser welder that although the laser welding has high precision, the workpieces are mostly placed manually during processing, resulting in low welding precision of the equipment and thus low working efficiency of the equipment.

A vertical long groove 202 is arranged on the support arm 304 of the rotating mechanism, and the shielding device is arranged on the long groove 202, and thus is slidably connected with the rotating mechanism. During the welding process of the workpiece, the rotating mechanism is started to rotate for horizontal adjustment, and the adjusting device is cooperated for vertical adjustment, so as to change the angle and position of the workpiece. Different workpieces are adaptively clamped through the clamping mechanism. During this process, the height is adjusted and shielding is carried out through the shielding device, so as to improve the automation level of the welding device, and thus improve the working efficiency of the welding device.
