Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of laser welding system technology, and more specifically to a laser welding system for the production and manufacturing of instruments and meters. Background Technology
[0002] As is well known, instruments and meters are professional equipment used to measure, monitor, control and analyze physical or chemical quantities. Typically, instruments and meters are equipped with a carrier-type housing. To ensure the installation and protection of the instruments and meters, the housing structure usually needs to have strong sealing performance, which requires a large amount of welding and high welding quality. To facilitate the welding operation of the housing during the manufacturing process of instruments and meters, we propose a laser welding system for the manufacturing of instruments and meters.
[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent application number CN202510649119.X, which discloses a laser welding equipment for instrument manufacturing. The equipment comprises a base plate, a support frame fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate, a welding support frame fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, a fixed end of an electric lifting platform fixedly connected to the top of the welding support frame, a laser welding head fixedly connected to the movable end of the electric lifting platform, a protective device fixedly connected to the top of the welding support frame, and a pneumatic device fixedly connected to the bottom of the welding support frame. The bottom of the pneumatic device is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate. The protective device is positioned below the laser welding head. During use, the welding support frame supports the electric lifting platform and the laser welding head, and the laser welding head welds the components. Patent application number CN202411746326.9 discloses a welding machine for instrument manufacturing. It is roughly described as follows: a welding base on which a multi-degree-of-freedom laser welding robot is mounted; a manufacturing station plate is provided on one side of the welding base; a supporting half-shaft is fixedly mounted on the manufacturing station plate; a positioning adjustment component for positioning and clamping a spring tube is provided on the supporting half-shaft; a transverse pushing column for conveying the spring tube is fixedly connected to the end of the supporting half-shaft; an electrically controlled pushing component is provided inside the transverse pushing column for pushing the spring tube forward. In use, the spring tube is conveyed through the transverse pushing column, the spring tube is clamped and limited by the inclined clamping plate, and the rotation angle of the spring tube is limited by the blocking end block and its injection connector.
[0004] While the aforementioned existing technical solutions can provide laser welding for the production and manufacturing of instruments and meters, the welding process is only single-sided welding. If welding is required on both sides of the weld seam, one side must be welded first before the other side, which reduces welding efficiency. Furthermore, the specific structural form of the shell inevitably involves the distinction between internal and external corners. In actual welding, the welding difficulty of internal corners is significantly lower than that of external corners in most cases. The two aforementioned technical solutions are clearly more convenient for welding internal corners. When welding external corners, both practicality and ease of operation need further improvement.

An electrically adjustable structure is mounted on the integrated mounting frame 5. Both laser welding heads 1 are mounted on the electrically adjustable structure. The operation of the electrically adjustable structure enables relative attitude adjustment of the two laser welding heads 1.

A first servo motor 6 is mounted at the bottom of an integrated mounting bracket 5. A synchronous gear 11 is mounted on the output shaft of the first servo motor 6. The synchronous gear 11 meshes with two racks 12, which are fixedly connected to two sliding plate frames 8.

Two sliding plate brackets 8 are rotatably connected to the two hinge seats 40 respectively. Through the design of the electrically adjustable structure, specific mounting positions are provided for the two laser welding heads 1, facilitating the adjustment of their relative positions and attitudes.
[0042] It should be further explained that a synchronous adjustment structure is installed on the integrated mounting frame 5. The synchronous adjustment structure is used for auxiliary adjustment of the two laser welding heads 1. The synchronous adjustment structure includes an electric lifting rod 16 and two vertical guide rods 17. The electric lifting rod 16 is installed on the integrated mounting frame 5. A synchronous frame 18 is installed on the lifting rod of the electric lifting rod 16. Two transmission cylinders 19 are fixedly connected to the synchronous frame 18. The two vertical guide rods 17 are respectively fixedly connected to two sliding plate frames 8. A transmission rod frame 20 is slidably connected to each of the two vertical guide rods 17.

Two adjusting mounting brackets 7 are rotatably connected, two hinge plates 41 are rotatably connected to two arc-shaped frames 21 respectively, and two transmission cylinders 19 are slidably connected to two transmission rod frames 20 respectively. Through the design of the synchronous adjustment structure, further adjustments can be made to the relative posture of the two laser welding heads 1 to widen the adjustment range of the relative posture between the two laser welding heads 1. A rotary work clamping table is installed on the machine bed 2. The rotary work clamping table includes a main rotating frame 22, which is rotatably connected to the machine bed 2.

The rotating work clamping table provides a basic clamping position for the housing of the instrument to be welded, keeping the housing in a relatively fixed state for welding. It also enriches the relative position and posture of the housing to be welded relative to the laser welding head 1, making it more practical. The machine bed 2 is equipped with a slag discharge port 42, and support legs 43 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the machine bed 2.

[0043] In this embodiment, the laser welding head 1, the first servo motor 6, the electric telescopic rod 13, the electric lifting rod 16, the second servo motor 23, the third servo motor 29, the fourth servo motor 30, the horizontal lead screw sliding component 31, the vertical lead screw sliding component 32, and the fifth servo motor 38 are all commercially available conventional devices known to those skilled in the art. In this invention, we are simply using them without modifying their structure or function. Their setting method, installation method, and electrical connection method can be easily understood by those skilled in the art by following the instructions for use, and will not be described in detail here.
[0044] In summary, the working principle of this laser welding system for instrument manufacturing is as follows: Before use, laser generators are first installed on the two laser welding heads 1. Simultaneously, control circuits are installed on the laser generator, the first servo motor 6, the electric telescopic rod 13, the electric lifting rod 16, the second servo motor 23, the third servo motor 29, the fourth servo motor 30, the horizontal lead screw sliding component 31, the vertical lead screw sliding component 32, and the fifth servo motor 38. An industrial control computer is installed in the control circuit. The industrial control computer can control the operation of the laser generator, the first servo motor 6, the electric telescopic rod 13, the electric lifting rod 16, the second servo motor 23, the third servo motor 29, the fourth servo motor 30, the horizontal lead screw sliding component 31, the vertical lead screw sliding component 32, and the fifth servo motor 38. Furthermore, the laser welding system... The light generator provides a welding beam for the laser welding head 1. During operation, the output shaft of the fifth servo motor 38 is first rotated to drive the transmission gear 39. Since the transmission gear 39 meshes with the external rack 37 on the machine bed 2, its rotational motion is converted into linear motion of the gantry 3 along the dovetail track 34. The gantry 3 is controlled to move backward relative to the machine bed 2 until the synchronous rotation of the two cantilever frames 25 no longer interferes with the gantry 3. Then, the fifth servo motor 38 enters a parking state. The second servo motor 23 is then powered on to adjust the rotation of the main rotating frame 22, thereby alternating the front and rear positions of the two cantilever frames 25. The cantilever frame 25 located at the front serves as the loading and clamping station for the housing, while the cantilever frame 25 located at the rear serves as the welding station for the housing. (See attached diagram.) Figure 15The diagram shows a clamping and welding process where a shell to be welded is formed using a universal clamping frame with T-shaped clamping slots 27. The rotary work clamping table enables clamping of the workpiece and multi-dimensional posture adaptation. The operator places the shell on the rotating clamping plate 26, and the shell is secured using multiple T-shaped clamping slots 27 evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating clamping plate 26, along with T-bolts or special clamps. The clamping force is controlled by adjusting the bolt tightness to avoid damaging the shell surface. When the shell is fixedly mounted on the rotating clamping plate 26, the fourth servo motor 30 operates to drive... The rotation drive of the cantilever frame 25 facilitates the attitude adjustment of the cantilever frame 25, so as to control the housing to be adjusted between 0° and 90° relative to the horizontal plane, which can adapt to the welding of the side inclined weld. The third servo motor 29 can realize the rotation adjustment of the rotating clamping plate 26, thereby facilitating the rotation adjustment of the housing, so that the housing itself can rotate continuously from 0° to 360°, which facilitates the precise positioning of the circumferential angle of the housing, ensures the matching and alignment of the weld at different circumferential positions of the housing with the laser welding head 1, and also facilitates the switching operation of multiple gaps on the side of the housing.
[0045] Furthermore, the horizontal lead screw slide 31, when energized, enables the intermediate transfer plate 33 to move laterally along the horizontal direction at the top of the gantry 3, while the vertical lead screw slide 32, when energized, enables the spatial displacement frame 4 to adjust its height. Therefore, through the combined operation of the horizontal and vertical lead screw slides 31 and 32, the lateral position and height of the spatial displacement frame 4 can be adjusted. When the housing enters the welding station, the vertical lead screw slide 32 first raises the spatial displacement frame 4 to its limit position. Then, the fifth servo motor 38, when energized, moves the gantry 3 forward relative to the machine bed 2 until the two laser welding heads 1 move above the housing to be welded. Next, the electric adjustment structure adjusts the core posture of the laser welding heads 1. Firstly, the relative distance is adjusted: after the first servo motor 6 starts, the synchronous gear 11 on its output shaft can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. Because the synchronous gear 11 simultaneously meshes with two parallel and oppositely installed spur racks 12, The rotation of the synchronous gear 11 drives the two racks 12 to move relative to each other along the integrated mounting frame 5, which in turn drives the two sliding plate frames 8 fixed to the racks 12 to slide synchronously relative to each other, thereby adjusting the relative distance between the two adjusting mounting frames 7, and finally adjusting the relative distance between the two laser welding heads 1. Considering the weld seam of the shell and the limitation of the laser focusing distance, when both adjusting mounting frames 7 are in a vertical position, it is advisable to adjust the continuous distance between the two laser welding heads 1 within the range of 50mm-300mm. According to the spatial requirements of the welding position, the operation of the electric telescopic rod 13 can enable the follower slide rod 14 to slide along the adjusting mounting frame 7. The follower slide rod 14 transmits linear motion to the rotating frame 10 through the linkage rod 15. Since the two ends of the linkage rod 15 are rotatably connected to the side connecting shafts of the follower slide rod 14 and the rotating frame 10 respectively, the rotating frame 10 can rotate around the assembly frame 9, ultimately driving the laser welding head 1 to achieve fine-tuning of the angle, meeting the inclination angle requirements of different weld seams such as right angle and oblique angle.
[0046] Furthermore, since the adjusting mounting bracket 7 is rotatably connected to the sliding plate bracket 8 via the hinge seat 40, the adjusting mounting bracket 7 can be rotated and adjusted in the vertical plane around the hinge axis in the hinge seat 40, ultimately adjusting the two adjusting mounting brackets 7 from a vertical posture to a relatively open or relatively closed posture. When the electric lifting rod 16 is running, its lifting rod can drive the synchronous frame 18 to rise and fall in the vertical direction. The two transmission cylinders 19 fixed on the synchronous frame 18 move synchronously. When the height of the transmission cylinders 19 changes, it can drive the transmission rod frame 20 to form a synchronous height change. Since the transmission rod frame 20 is sleeved outside the vertical guide rod 17, the vertical guide rod 17 can provide vertical support for the transmission rod frame 20. Guided by the transmission cylinder 19, the movement of the transmission rod 20 pushes the transmission rod frame 20 to slide along the vertical guide rod 17. The arc-shaped frame 21 hinged on the transmission rod frame 20 moves accordingly. Since the arc-shaped frame 21 is rotatably connected to the hinge plate 41 on the adjustment mounting frame 7, and the curvature of the arc-shaped frame 21 matches the rotation trajectory of the adjustment mounting frame 7, the force transmission can be ensured to be smooth. Ultimately, the adjustment mounting frame 7 is driven to rotate around the hinge seat 40. Through precise control of the electric lifting rod 16, the two adjustment mounting frames 7 can be tilted inward or outward simultaneously, so that the two adjustment mounting frames 7 can be adjusted and cooperate to form a "V" shape or an "octagon" shape, etc., to adapt to the welding requirements of the instrument housing in multiple directions and angles, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 16 The diagram shows the welding operation on the vertical edge of the shell by two adjustable mounting brackets 7 standing in a parallel vertical position. At this time, two electric telescopic rods 13 can be used together to make the welding tilt angle of the two laser welding heads 1 different, so as to achieve the double-sided welding operation of the two laser welding heads 1 relative to the same weld seam. Generally, the operation method of first the inside corner and then the outside corner is selected.
[0047] As attached Figure 17 The diagram shown illustrates a welding operation where the two adjusting mounting brackets 7 are positioned in a "V" shape. Figure 18 The diagram illustrates a welding operation with two adjusting mounting brackets 7 arranged in an "octagon" shape. When the two adjusting mounting brackets 7 are relatively vertical and parallel, it facilitates the insertion of a narrow, elongated housing. When they are arranged in a "V" shape, it facilitates the insertion of housings with small openings and large cavities. When they are arranged in an "octagon" shape, it facilitates welding the exterior of large-sized housings. Once the laser welding head 1 is fully aligned with the welding point of the housing, the laser welding head 1 is activated and welds the housing according to a preset program. During the welding process, the two welding heads can operate synchronously or independently to adapt to different weld requirements, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 15The diagram shows two laser welding heads 1 performing synchronous welding operations relative to the weld seam. To reduce welding deformation and avoid heat concentration, the two laser welding heads 1 can be controlled to be in different postures during synchronous welding operations, allowing them to perform sequential welding operations relative to the same welding point. The metal slag produced during welding falls under gravity and enters the drawer-type collection box 44 through the slag discharge port 42, preventing accumulation that could affect equipment operation or pollute the environment. After the operation is completed, the laser generator is first powered off to stop supplying laser to the laser welding head 1. Then, each structure is controlled to reset sequentially. The electric adjustment structure and the synchronous adjustment structure drive the laser welding head 1 back to its initial posture. The sliding adjustment structure drives the laser welding head 1 to rise to a safe height. The gantry 3 returns to its initial position under the action of the driving structure. Then, the rotary work clamping table adjusts the welded shell to the loading clamping position and stops moving. The operator releases the clamps and removes the welded shell. Thus, the entire welding process for a single shell is completed. Repeating the above steps can form welding operations for multiple shells.
[0048] 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.
