[0042] Embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-20 A handheld laser welding device for rail vehicles, comprising a welding torch head 1, a laser main machine 2 matched with the welding torch head 1, and an arm fixing assembly, two handheld shells 3 are arranged outside the welding torch head 1, and the two handheld shells 3 are fixedly connected with each other, the arm fixing assembly comprises a folding storage rack 4, the folding storage rack 4 is installed between the two handheld shells 3 through an electric actuator, the electric actuator comprises a sliding connecting seat 8 and an electric telescopic rod 9, the sliding connecting seat 8 is slidingly connected between the two handheld shells 3, a fixed-point rotating seat 10 is rotatably connected in the sliding connecting seat 8, the main body of the electric telescopic rod 9 is fixedly connected with the fixed-point rotating seat 10, a transmission rack 11 is rotatably connected on the actuator rod of the electric telescopic rod 9, the transmission rack 11 is fixedly connected with a rotating column rack 12, the rotating column rack 12 is rotatably connected in the sliding connecting seat 8, the rotating column rack 12 is fixedly connected with the folding storage rack 4, an elastic limiting structure is installed in the sliding connecting seat 8, the elastic limiting structure comprises a lifting strip column 13, the bottom end of the lifting strip column 13 is fixedly connected with an elastic spring 14, the elastic spring 14 is inserted into the sliding connecting seat 8, the lifting strip column 13 is in sliding fit with the sliding connecting seat 8, a shrinkage head 15 is arranged at the top end of the lifting strip column 13, a guide groove 16 matched with the shrinkage head 15 is arranged on each of the two handheld shells 3, an insertion limiting groove 17 is arranged on each of the guide grooves 16 close to one end of the welding torch head 1, and an extraction limiting groove 18 is arranged on each of the guide grooves 16 away from the welding torch head 1, the insertion limiting groove 17 and the extraction limiting groove 18 are matched with the lifting strip column 13, through the design of the electric actuator, active swinging driving of the welding torch head 1 relative to the operator's arm can be realized, and then a swinging track is actively formed in cooperation with a folding linear welding track.

[0043] It should be further explained that two arc-shaped plates 5 are rotatably connected inside the folding storage rack 4. Each arc-shaped plate 5 is fixedly connected to a connecting cylinder 26, and each connecting cylinder 26 is fixedly connected to a connecting shaft 27. Both connecting shafts 27 are rotatably connected inside the folding storage rack 4. The folding storage rack 4 has an installation cavity 6, and an elastic strap 7 is installed inside the installation cavity 6. A winding cylinder 36 is rotatably connected inside the installation cavity 6, and the elastic strap 7 is wound around the winding cylinder 36. A conical spring 37 is fixedly connected inside the winding cylinder 36, and the conical spring 37 is fixedly connected inside the installation cavity 6. The elastic strap 7 is used to wrap and fix the two arc-shaped plates 5 relative to the operator's arm. The arm-fixing component is designed to secure the operator's arm, enabling the welding torch head 1 to be mounted relative to the arm. This provides a stable method for the welding torch head 1 besides the hand grip posture. The folding storage rack 4 has an end slot 28, within which two stepped blocks 29 are installed. Each stepped block 29 is fixedly connected to two connecting shafts 27. Each stepped block 29 is fitted with a damping spring 30, which is fixedly connected within the end slot 28. Each damping spring 30 is fixedly connected to a damping plate 31, which matches the two stepped blocks 29. When the arc plate 5 rotates for adjustment, the connecting shaft 2... 7 rotates synchronously with the accompanying arc-shaped plate 5 via the connecting cylinder 26. Since the damping spring 30 can push the damping plate 31 to press against the stepped block 29, there is a certain rotational friction between the damping plate 31 and the stepped block 29. Under the action of this rotational friction, the rotational freedom between the connecting shaft 27 and the folding storage rack 4 is restricted, ultimately limiting the rotational angle between the arc-shaped plate 5 and the folding storage rack 4 after adjustment. A hollow notch 32 is provided on one arc-shaped plate 5 adjacent to the opening of the mounting cavity 6, and a first Velcro 33 is provided on the raised arc surface of the other arc-shaped plate 5. A second Velcro 34 is provided on the elastic strap 7. The first hook and loop fastener 33 is matched with the second hook and loop fastener 34. In actual use, the arc-shaped plate 5 with the hollow notch 32 can provide storage space for the second hook and loop fastener 34. When it is necessary to tie the two arc-shaped plates 5 relative to the operator's arm, first rotate both arc-shaped plates 5 relative to the folding storage rack 4, and then pull out the elastic binding strap 7. The elastic binding strap 7 is used to wrap the arc-shaped plate 5 with the hollow notch 32, the operator's arm and the arc-shaped plate 5 with the first hook and loop fastener 33 in turn. After the wrapping is completed, the first hook and loop fastener 33 and the second hook and loop fastener 34 form a connection and positioning of the elastic binding strap 7 relative to the arc-shaped plate 5 with the first hook and loop fastener 33.

[0044] Furthermore, auxiliary support components are installed on the outside of the two handheld shells 3. These components include a quick-release frame 19 and two support wheels 20. The quick-release frame 19 is fitted onto the two handheld shells 3. Each handheld shell 3 has a recessed groove 21, which together form an embedded groove. A guide sleeve 22 is installed within the embedded groove. A limit frame 23 is slidably connected within the guide sleeve 22. A push-out spring is installed between the limit frame 23 and the guide sleeve 22. The limit frame 23 matches the quick-release frame 19. Side brackets 24 are rotatably connected to the outside of each support wheel 20. Each side bracket 24 has a rotating hole, and a clamping bolt 25 is rotatably connected within each rotating hole. Both clamping bolts 25 are threaded onto the quick-release frame 19. The connection, through the configuration of auxiliary support components, provides an auxiliary support structure for the welding torch head 1, reducing operator fatigue and improving the stability and efficiency of welding operations while being more practical. The folding storage rack 4 is provided with two side slots 35, which facilitate the operation of the two arc plates 5 when rotating out. The two handheld shells 3 are fixedly connected to the front extension frame 38, and the front extension frame 38 is equipped with an adjustment frame 39, which is equipped with a wire guide tube 40. The laser host 2 is equipped with a chassis 41, and the chassis 41 is equipped with an end bracket 42. The end bracket 42 is equipped with a digital display controller 43, which is electrically connected to the laser host 2 to realize parameter control and display.

[0045] In this embodiment, the welding torch head 1, laser host 2, electric telescopic rod 9, and digital display controller 43 are all commercially available conventional devices known to those skilled in the art. In this invention, we only use them without making any improvements to their structure or function. Their setting method, installation method, and electrical connection method can be easily explained by those skilled in the art by following the instructions for use. Therefore, we will not elaborate on them here.

[0046] In summary, the working principle of this handheld laser welding device for rail vehicles is as follows: Before use, the welding torch head 1 and the laser host 2 must be installed relative to each other, ensuring the connection of their optical, water, and air paths. The electric telescopic rod 9 should be a product with force monitoring capabilities. For ease of description of the driving force detection module inside the electric telescopic rod 9, we name it the follow-up sensor. The electric telescopic rod 9, the follow-up sensor, the laser host 2, and the welding torch head 1 are all electrically connected to the digital display controller 43 to facilitate the reading and control of the operating parameters of the electric telescopic rod 9, the follow-up sensor, the laser host 2, and the welding torch head 1 through the digital display controller 43. Installation complete. Afterwards, operation and debugging should be carried out. During the debugging process, the power supply of the laser host 2 should be turned on to realize the trial operation of the laser host 2, so as to verify that when the laser host 2 is running, the welding gun head 1 can respond to the operation of the laser host 2 and adjust the laser output and attitude accordingly. In actual use, if it is used in a small area and for a short time, the operator only needs to hold the two hand-held shells 3 to form a grip by adjusting the degree of bending of the fingers to form a stable grip on the two hand-held shells 3. Then turn on the laser host 2 and adjust the output parameters of the laser host 2 through the digital display controller 43. After the adjustment is completed, the fingers on the palm holding the hand-held shells 3 form the switch matching the welding gun head 1 to form the light output control of the welding gun head 1. When the laser... When the host machine 2 receives the laser emission command from the welding torch head 1, the laser host 2 is powered on to generate laser light to control the formation of a laser spot through the welding torch head 1. The distance between the welding torch head 1 and the target workpiece is adjusted by the operator's hand movements, and this distance is maintained to achieve laser welding operations. Since the carriages in rail vehicles are generally long, and a rail vehicle train requires multiple carriages, the demand for welding is huge, and the cumulative welding length requirement is also large. Therefore, long-distance welding is quite common. To facilitate long-distance welding operations, when performing long-distance welding and when there are many straight weld seams on the target workpiece, the relative positions of the two support wheels 20 and the welding torch head 1 can be pre-adjusted. When adjusting the support wheels 20, firstly, relative to the quick-release mechanism... Rotate the frame 19 to adjust the clamping bolt 25, so that the clamping limit of the clamping bolt 25 on the side bracket 24 is invalidated. Then, the side bracket 24 can be rotated relative to the quick-assembly frame 19 to adjust the relative position between the support wheel 20 and the welding gun head 1, thereby adjusting the support height of the support wheel 20 on the welding gun head 1. When the two support wheels 20 are in contact with the welding target, the welding gun head 1 and the welding seam on the welding target have a suitable focusing distance. Then, with the two support wheels 20 as support, the welding operation can be completed by simply dragging the welding gun head 1 by hand. During the operation, due to the support of the two support wheels 20, the light spot output by the welding gun head 1 can be focused relatively stably on the welding trajectory of the two welding target parts.

[0047] During welding operations, the arm-fixing component can also be used to secure the operator's arm, allowing the operator to use their arm to assist in lifting and controlling the welding torch head 1. This reduces the requirements for hand grip and wrist stability, alleviating operator fatigue. After the folding storage rack 4 is fully inserted into the space between the two handheld shells 3, the lifting column 13 will correspondingly extend into the insertion limit groove 17. In this state, the stability of the folding storage rack 4 after being fully inserted into the space between the two handheld shells 3 can be guaranteed. The securing operation is as follows: relative to the sliding connecting seat 8, the spring 14 overcomes the spring. Press down on the lifting column 13 to completely retract it from the insertion limit groove 17. Maintain the downward state of the lifting column 13 and move the folding head 15 to enter the guide groove 16 until the folding head 15 enters the withdrawal limit groove 18. Maintain the state of the folding head 15 entering the withdrawal limit groove 18 and reduce the downward pressure on the lifting column 13. Under the pushing action of the elastic spring 14, the lifting column 13 is pushed into the withdrawal limit groove 18 to stabilize the relative position of the sliding connecting seat 8 between the two handheld shells 3. In this state, the folding storage rack 4 will be fully pushed. Create space between the two handheld shells 3, then push the two curved plates 5 to fold out relative to the storage rack 4. Next, the operator holds the two handheld shells 3, then adjusts the two curved plates 5 to fit snugly against the operator's arm. Finally, pull out the elastic strap 7, securing the two curved plates 5 against the operator's arm. Because the elastic strap 7 is made of elastic and stretchable material, once it is securely tied to the operator's arm, it will not significantly affect arm movement. This also takes into account the individual needs of different operators. Due to differences in body shape, the way the first Velcro 33 and the second Velcro 34 are attached together can be adapted to arms of different thicknesses. In addition, multiple pull-out limiting grooves 18 can be set to adapt to the distance from the thumb to the wrist of different operators. After binding, the rotating column frame 12 should fit with the operator's wrist so that when the operator holds the two hand-held shells 3, the wrist movement and the adjustment between the sliding seat 8 and the folding storage frame 4 can form a vertical fit in space, which is convenient for the operator to adjust the posture between the welding gun head 1 and the arm.

[0048] After the two arc-shaped plates 5 are secured relative to the operator's arm, if the welding trajectory is still a straight line, the two support wheels 20 can still be used for auxiliary support. If the welding trajectory is a linear structure with fewer straight lines, in order to avoid the two support wheels 20 affecting the movement of the welding torch head 1, the positions of the two support wheels 20 need to be adjusted relative to the welding torch head 1. This allows the two support wheels 20 to rotate and rise relative to the welding torch head 1 for storage, reducing the impact of the two support wheels 20 on the welding operation of the welding torch head 1. Then, the electric telescopic rod 9 is activated. The operation of the electric telescopic rod 9 enables the active adjustment of the relative angle between the folding storage rack 4 and the sliding seat 8. The electric telescopic rod 9 operates in two ways: one is a follow-up operation mode. In this mode, since the electric telescopic rod 9 is equipped with a follow-up sensor, the follow-up sensor controls the actuator of the electric telescopic rod 9. By monitoring the radial pressure changes, the movement trend of the operator's wrist can be determined, and the operation control of the actuator of the electric telescopic rod 9 can be formed according to the movement trend to improve the convenience of the operator's wrist movement in adjusting the posture of the welding torch head 1. Another operating mode of the electric telescopic rod 9 is that when welding between two welding targets requires the welding torch head 1 to swing in a zigzag manner, the electric telescopic rod 9 no longer responds to the pressure value of the follow-up sensor. The electric telescopic rod 9 actively runs to realize the active swing drive of the sliding seat 8 relative to the folding storage frame 4, and then realizes the active movement drive of the handheld shell 3 relative to the operator's arm. Through the repeated movement of the actuator of the electric telescopic rod 9, the reciprocating swing motion of the welding torch head 1 can be realized, which helps the welding torch head 1 form a zigzag welding trajectory. This welding trajectory is also suitable for welding operation environments where the welding gap is large and welding wire needs to be replenished.

[0049] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
