Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of LED light strip processing technology, and more particularly to a laser welding apparatus for LED light strip processing. Background Technology

[0002] LED light strips are lighting products consisting of multiple LED beads sequentially mounted on a flexible or rigid circuit board. They are typically long and narrow, and are characterized by their small size, high brightness, low energy consumption, and long lifespan. They often have an adhesive layer on the back, making them easy to stick in various locations. Because they are flexible and can be cut, they are commonly used in decorative lighting, auxiliary lighting, and in architectural, home, and automotive applications.

[0003] However, there are several problems with the current LED strip welding process. First, LED strips are mostly rolled up and stored, which makes the welded parts prone to warping and causing welding failure. Second, when two LED strips need to be lengthened and bent for use, if they are welded together directly, the solder joint is prone to breakage due to stress concentration during bending. In addition, heat shrink tubing is usually required for protection after welding, but the heat shrink tubing has poor flexibility. Forced bending will cause the solder joint to be subjected to excessive stress, which is also easy to damage, thus affecting the reliability and service life of the overall connection. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, and to propose a laser welding device for LED light strip processing.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are:

[0018] 1. This invention adjusts the position of the welding platform by means of a lead screw, and combines a clamping block and a rubber roller to precisely clamp and position the wire. The clamping block adopts a full contact design that matches the contour of the wire, increasing the contact area and improving stability. At the same time, it effectively disperses pressure to prevent the wire from deforming or scratching. The rubber roller is used to limit the separation of the wire and ensure that the wire remains stable before welding.

[0019] 2. The present invention sets multiple sets of controllable first pressing rollers on the conveying platform, which can roll and statically press the curled LED light strip to ensure that the welding end is flat and avoid the light strip from lifting and causing welding failure. Its intermittent rolling method can also eliminate the overall curvature of the light strip. After the welding positioning is completed, it maintains continuous pressure, improving the stability and reliability of welding.

[0020] 3. In the welding process, the present invention uses a laser emitter and a wire feeding device to quickly melt and fill the solder wire, resulting in high-quality solder joints and strong connections. Compared with manual operation, this device achieves automated rolling and positioning, which greatly reduces operation time, reduces reliance on personnel skill, and improves overall welding efficiency and consistency.

[0021] 4. After welding is completed, the device can automatically cover and shrink the heat shrink tubing. Through the cooperation of multiple suction cups, U-shaped plates and arc plates, combined with hot air and roller pressure, the heat shrink tubing is uniformly shrunk and tightly adhered to the weld point, ensuring that the weld point has good sealing and insulation properties, preventing moisture, dust or chemical substances from entering, thereby significantly improving welding quality and durability.

[0022] In summary, this invention can automate the entire process of wire positioning, LED strip flattening, automatic welding, and heat shrink tubing application during the welding of wires and LED strips, significantly improving welding efficiency and stability, ensuring strong and reliable welds with excellent protective effects, and improving overall product quality and production efficiency.

[0037] Several first conveying rollers 16 are provided between the two sets of positioning mechanisms. The left and right ends of the first conveying rollers 16 are provided with second electric telescopic rods 17 fixedly installed on the working platform 7. The telescopic ends of the second electric telescopic rods 17 are connected to the first conveying rollers 16 through connectors.

[0038] One of the conveying platforms 10 has a conveying housing 21 detachably mounted at the end away from the first conveying roller 16. Several heat shrink tubes 22 are fitted on the conveying housing 21. When the LED light strip 8 and the wire 18 move to the right, the LED light strip 8 and the wire 18 will pass through the multiple heat shrink tubes 22. A mounting bracket is fixedly mounted on the base 1 on one side of the conveying housing 21. A third electric telescopic rod 23 is fixedly mounted on the upper end and side of the mounting bracket. The third electric telescopic rod 23 is arranged parallel to the conveying housing 21, and the telescopic end of the third electric telescopic rod 23 is fixedly connected to a first suction cup 24. The suction end of the first suction cup 24 faces the heat shrink tube 22 and is used to suction and fix the heat shrink tube 22.

[0039] The end of the conveyor housing 21 away from the conveyor platform 10 is provided with a first mounting housing 27 and a second mounting housing 36, which are fixedly installed on the side wall of the base 1. The first mounting housing 27 and the second mounting housing 36 are symmetrically arranged. A third rotating block 42 is rotatably mounted on the end of the first mounting housing 27 near the second mounting housing 36, a second rotating block 41 is rotatably mounted on the end of the second mounting housing 36 near the first mounting housing 27, and a fourth rotating block 43 is rotatably mounted on the end of the first mounting housing 27 away from the second mounting housing 36. Both the first mounting housing 27 and the second mounting housing 36 are provided with drive components. The drive assembly is used to drive the second rotating block 41, the third rotating block 42, and the fourth rotating block 43 to rotate. It includes a second motor 44 fixedly installed inside the first mounting housing 27 or the second mounting housing 36. A second gear 46 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 44. A first gear 45 is fixedly connected to one end of the second rotating block 41, the third rotating block 42, and the fourth rotating block 43 located inside the mounting housing. The first gear 45 meshes with the second gear 46, so that when the second motor 44 is running, the corresponding rotating block can be driven to rotate through the cooperation of the first gear 45 and the second gear 46.

[0040] Both the second rotating block 41 and the third rotating block 42 have third hydraulic push rods 33 fixedly connected to their surfaces. One third hydraulic push rod 33 has a first U-shaped plate 25 fixedly connected to its telescopic end, and the other third hydraulic push rod 33 has a second U-shaped plate 29 fixedly connected to its telescopic end. Both the first U-shaped plate 25 and the second U-shaped plate 29 have third suction cups 35 installed inside them.

The second suction cup 34 works in conjunction with the first suction cup 24 to adsorb the heat shrink tubing 22.

[0041] A first hydraulic push rod 31 is fixedly installed on the surface of the first mounting housing 27. An arc-shaped plate 26 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the first hydraulic push rod 31. The arc-shaped plate 26 has a hollow interior and air holes are evenly distributed on its upper surface. A hot air blower 6 is fixedly installed on the base 1. The air outlet of the hot air blower 6 is connected to the inner cavity of the arc-shaped plate 26 through a hose. The hot air blown out by the hot air blower 6 enters the inner cavity of the arc-shaped plate 26 through the hose and is blown out through the air holes on the arc-shaped plate 26.

[0042] A fifth hydraulic push rod 39 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second mounting housing 36. A first motor 38 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the fifth hydraulic push rod 39. A first rotating block 40 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor 38. A fourth hydraulic push rod 37 is fixedly installed on the surface of the first rotating block 40. An installation rod is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the fourth hydraulic push rod 37. A second pressing roller 30 is rotatably installed on the side of the installation rod near the outer surface of the arc plate 26. The second pressing roller 30 is a heating roller with a heating function. The arc plate 26 and the second pressing roller 30 are both located behind the first U-shaped plate 25 and the second U-shaped plate 29.

[0043] A collection frame 5 is placed below the first mounting housing 27. The collection frame 5 is used to collect the processed LED light strips 8 and wires 18.

[0044] In use, the wires 18 connecting the LED light strip 8 are first trimmed to the required length, and the outer shell of the wires 18 is stripped with wire strippers to expose the internal conductors. Then, the position of the welding platform 13 is adjusted using the lead screw 20, and the wires 18 are clamped using the rubber rollers 14 on both sides and the clamping blocks 15. The clamping blocks 15 clamp the portion where the two wires 18 are joined. The shape inside the clamping blocks 15 perfectly matches the contour of the wires 18, increasing the contact area through contour matching and ensuring a firm clamping. Furthermore, full contour contact distributes pressure across the entire contact surface, reducing the risk of scratches or deformation. The rubber rollers 14 clamp the separated portions of the two wires 18. Since the shape of the two wires 18 is uncertain after separating at the ends, the upper and lower clamping of the rubber rollers 14 provides good limiting for the separated wires 18.

[0045] After adjusting the position of the welding platform 13 and clamping the wire 18, the LED strip 8 is placed on the conveyor platforms 10 on both sides. The second conveyor roller 28 starts to move the LED strip 8 until it touches the baffle 19. The second conveyor roller 28 then stops rotating. At this point, the positive wire is aligned with the positive pad of the LED strip, and the negative wire is aligned with the negative pad, with the conductors fully contacting the pads. This completes the positioning of the LED strip 8 and the wire 18 before welding. Furthermore, in general, the LED strip 8 is rolled up for storage, which means that the cut LED strip 8 may have a certain curvature. If the LED strip 8 and the wire 18 are directly welded in this case, the LED strip 8 at the weld point is prone to lifting, leading to welding failure. Therefore, when the LED light strip 8 moves on the conveyor platform 10, the first pressing roller 11 starts to rotate under the drive of the small motor. At the same time, the first electric telescopic rod 12 drives the first pressing roller 11 to move up and down. In this way, during the movement of the LED light strip 8, the multiple first pressing rollers 11 first perform high-intensity rolling pressure on the end of the LED light strip 8 to be welded to ensure the flatness of the welding part. Then, as the LED light strip 8 continues to move, the multiple first pressing rollers 11 intermittently roll the entire LED light strip 8 to eliminate the overall curvature.

[0046] After the LED strip 8 stops moving, the first pressing roller 11 stops rotating and instead applies continuous static pressure to the LED strip 8, keeping it stationary on the conveyor platform 10 and ensuring the stability of the LED strip 8 during welding. After fixing the LED strips 8 on both sides, the laser emitter 3 is moved to directly above the area to be welded via the moving platform 2. The laser emitter 3 is then activated, focusing the laser beam onto the area to be welded. Preheating is achieved through laser radiation, and then the solder wire 9 is moved to the area to be welded via the wire feeding device 4. The high energy density of the laser causes the solder wire 9 to melt rapidly and flow into the gap between the LED strip 8 and the wire 18. When the welding process is complete and the solder joint is satisfactory, the laser emitter 3 is turned off. At this point, the molten solder wire 9 begins to cool and solidify, forming a strong solder joint. The above operation is repeated for the other three areas to be welded, finally completing the welding between the LED strip 8 and the wire 18. Traditional welding preparation requires manual operation to roll and position the LED light strip 8 and the wire 18, which is time-consuming and depends on the operator's skill level. With this device, the operator only needs to adjust the welding platform 13 according to the length of the wire 18 and clamp the wire 18. The device will automatically complete the roll and position of the LED light strip 8 and the wire 18, which significantly improves welding efficiency.

[0047] After the LED light strip 8 and the wire 18 are welded, the first pressing roller 11, the rubber roller 14, and the clamping block 15 are lifted, and the baffle 19 is retracted. Then, the first conveying roller 16 and the second conveying roller 28 are started, which drives the LED light strip 8 and the wire 18 on both sides to move to the right. The height of the first conveying roller 16 can be adjusted by the second electric telescopic rod 17, so as to flexibly convey the LED light strip 8 or the wire 18.

[0048] Before welding, prepare a corresponding number of heat shrink tubing 22s to fit onto the conveyor housing 21, based on the required number of LED strips 8 to be welded. Then, secure the conveyor housing 21 to the conveyor platform 10 using end clips. As the LED strips 8 and wires 18 continue to move to the right, they will pass through multiple heat shrink tubing 22s. Since the heat shrink tubing 22s are fitted onto the conveyor housing 21, the LED strips 8 and wires 18 can easily pass inside the heat shrink tubing 22s. Subsequently, the LED strips 8 extend from the rightmost part of the conveyor housing 21, passing sequentially through the second U-shaped plate 29 and the first U-shaped plate 25. When the welding point is about to extend, activate the third suction cup 35 inside the first U-shaped plate 25 to suction the LED strips 8 from the back. This allows for quick and safe fixation of the LED strips 8 without damaging their surface. Both the first U-shaped plate 25 and the second U-shaped plate 29 are equipped with a third hydraulic push rod 33. The first mounting housing 27 and the second mounting housing 36 are fixedly mounted on the base 1. The second rotating block 41 is rotatably connected to the second mounting housing 36, and the third rotating block 42 and the fourth rotating block 43 are rotatably connected to both sides of the first mounting housing 27, respectively. Multiple sets of second motors 44, first gears 45, and second gears 46 can drive the first U-shaped plate 25, the second U-shaped plate 29, and the second suction cup 34 to rotate, respectively. Therefore, when the third suction cup 35 inside the first U-shaped plate 25 attracts the LED light strip 8, the first U-shaped plate 25 begins to rotate, driving the LED light strip 8 through the arc plate 26 and the second pressing roller 30. Then, the first U-shaped plate 25 stops rotating. At this time, the welding point between the LED light strip 8 and the wire 18 is exactly located between the arc plate 26 and the second pressing roller 30.

[0049] During this process, when the welding point moves below the first suction cup 24, the first suction cup 24 and the second suction cup 34 attract the heat shrink tube 22 from three sides. Then, the third electric telescopic rod 23 extends and the second hydraulic push rod 32 rotates, causing the heat shrink tube 22 to detach from the conveyor housing 21 and instead fit onto the welding point of the LED light strip 8 and the wire 18. Then, the first suction cup 24 releases, and the second suction cup 34 continues to move synchronously with the welding point along with the heat shrink tube 22 until the heat shrink tube 22 and the welding point are located between the arc plate 26 and the second pressing roller 30. Then, the second U-shaped plate 29 is rotated so that the third suction cup 35 inside it attracts the wire 18 on the other side of the welding point. The first hydraulic push rod 31 is then extended so that the heat shrink tube 22 contacts the arc plate 26. Then, the third hydraulic push rods 33 on both sides are slightly contracted so that the heat shrink tube 22 and the arc plate 26 fit more tightly. At this point, the hot air blower 6 is connected to the arc-shaped plate 26 via a flexible hose. The arc-shaped plate 26 is hollow inside, and its upper surface has many air holes. The hot air blown out by the hot air blower 6 acts on the heat shrink tubing 22 through the air holes, initially preheating the heat shrink tubing 22. The second pressing roller 30 is a heating roller. When the first motor 38 starts, the first rotating block 40 rotates, driving the fourth hydraulic push rod 37 to rotate, thereby causing the second pressing roller 30 to rotate along the arc of the arc-shaped plate 26, starting to heat and roll the heat shrink tubing 22 simultaneously, so that the heat shrink tubing 22 naturally conforms to the bending trajectory after shrinking due to heat. In addition, the rolling ensures that the heat shrink tubing 22 fits tightly against the welding point, eliminating gaps and preventing moisture, dust, or chemicals from entering. The arc-shaped plate 26 is installed on the first hydraulic push rod 31 by a snap-fit, and arc-shaped plates 26 with different curvatures can be replaced as needed to adapt to different process requirements. When replacing different curved plates 26, the center and radius of rotation of the second pressing roller 30 can be changed by adjusting the lengths of the fourth hydraulic push rod 37 and the fifth hydraulic push rod 39, thereby changing the curvature of the second pressing roller 30 to fit the curvature of different curved plates 26. After the heat shrink tubing 22 is tightly attached to the welding point, the third suction cup 35 is released, and the LED light strip 8 and wire 18 will continue to move until they fall into the collection frame 5, at which point the second pressing roller 30 will roll over the new heat shrink tubing 22.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
