Laser cleaning offers advantages such as non-contact, positioning, and automation; however, nanosecond-level cleaning involves significant thermal effects and raises concerns about residual re-oxidation.

[0056] Specifically, the welding wire supply device includes a clamping block 91, a welding wire spool 92, a rotating shaft 93, and a welding wire feeding channel 94. The welding wire spool 92 is mounted on the rotating shaft 93, which is located on the clamping block 91.

[0057] Specifically, it also includes a cryogenic atmosphere system, which includes an argon cylinder 81, a compressed gas cylinder 82, a liquid nitrogen cylinder 83, and a temperature sensor 832. The temperature sensor 832 is installed inside the waste gas cleaning system to detect the internal temperature.

Example
[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention discloses a laser fusion device for ultrafast laser pretreatment of magnesium-lithium welding wire surface. The fiber laser fusion manufacturing system is used to generate a fiber laser beam. Part of the energy of the fiber laser beam acts on the welding wire to melt, and another part of the energy acts on the workpiece to achieve deep penetration welding of metal.
[0061] The red-green laser layered cleaning system is used to achieve real-time cleaning of welding wires. The generated laser beam acts on the surface of the welding wire inside the device to remove oxides from the surface. The red-green laser layered cleaning system includes a cleaning red laser 1 (21), a cleaning red laser 2 (22), a cleaning red laser 3 (23), a galvanometer laser head 1 (41), a galvanometer laser head 2 (42), and a galvanometer laser head 3 (43), which are arranged at a 120° angle towards the focal point of the welding wire. Figure 6 As shown, the internal structure of the galvanometer laser head and the optical path diagram can be seen. The laser cleaning process can achieve a layered and regional cleaning effect on the welding wire. The outermost layer is mainly loose and porous water vapor / CO2 reactants such as LiOH / Li2CO3, which may contain salts and oil. Green light can remove, carbonize, or remove contaminants from the outer loose film. Utilizing multiphoton absorption and defect activation, low-energy micro-abrasion is performed to "pre-crack" the material for subsequent stripping. The middle layer is mainly a mixed layer of Li2O and MgO with moderate density. The inner layer is mainly dense MgO, which is tightly bonded to the metal substrate and is the most "difficult" layer to remove. An impact stripping method is used, applying green light first and then red light, with green and red beams combined, to the middle and inner dense layers. Transient thermal stress gradients and nano-bursts can be generated at the interface weakened by green light, removing the entire film. The energy and number of cycles can be adjusted between 3:7 and 5:5 using a green:red energy ratio; the green-first-red sequence is particularly effective for dense MgO.
[0062] like Figure 2, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the air blowing device includes air blowing device 1 51 and air blowing device 3 53 located on the upper part of the cleaning device, air blowing device 2 52 and air blowing device 4 54 located on the lower part of the cleaning device, air supply device 1 55 and air supply device 2 56 located on the left side of the cleaning device, and air extraction device 1 57 and air extraction device 2 58 located on the right side of the cleaning device.
[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, the real-time monitoring system for the cleaning process includes three cameras: a first real-time monitoring camera 61, a second real-time monitoring camera 62, and a third real-time monitoring camera 63, all located inside the main cleaning unit. These three cameras are positioned at a 120° angle towards the center of the welding wire at the focus point.
[0064] The control system is used to coordinate the control monitoring and cleaning process. It includes a control system integration device 71 and data transmission lines 711 that acquire data from the real-time monitoring system of the cleaning process, output signal lines 712, 713, 714, 715, and 716 that send command data. It is the core of the system from data acquisition to command issuance.
[0065] The welding wire feeder is used to feed welding wire under the command of the control system. It includes a welding wire spool 92 mounted above a rotating shaft 93, which is mounted on a clamping block 91. The welding wire is automatically fed into the laser cleaning device through the welding wire feed channel 94 and then output to the welding gun head.
[0066] like Figure 7 As shown, the cryogenic atmosphere system includes a liquid nitrogen cylinder 83 and a temperature sensor 832 in the cleaning device. By setting a target temperature value, the temperature sensor 832 controls the liquid nitrogen cylinder 83 to precisely release nitrogen gas flow through a solenoid valve, so as to achieve a constant and controllable temperature inside the cleaning device.
[0067] The present invention discloses a laser fusion method for ultrafast laser pretreatment of magnesium-lithium welding wire surface, based on the aforementioned laser fusion device for ultrafast laser pretreatment of magnesium-lithium welding wire surface, comprising the following steps:
[0068] Step 1: Environmental and Protection and Cryogenic System Preparation. Start the blowing, exchanging, and evacuating systems to create a directional airflow, and check the dust collection and filtration differential pressure.
[0069] Step 2: Check for leaks in the gas path, cryogenic system, and argon system, then ventilate. Set the target temperature of the cavity according to the process specifications, and ensure the cryogenic system and temperature sensor 832 operate in a closed loop.
[0070] Step 3: Turn on the control, monitoring, and laser system. Load the material and welding wire parameter files into the host computer and set the recording and alarm thresholds. Monitor the camera and lighting for self-testing, and complete the geometric calibration and time synchronization of the calibration board.
[0071] Step 4: Perform optical path and focusing. Collimation, beam splitting, reflection, and galvanometer channel checks are performed on fiber lasers and ultrafast lasers under analog output. Focal length / spot position calibration is completed using the target provided by the manufacturer.
[0072] Step 5: Verify the geometric position of the wire feeder and welding head. Set the safety stroke and soft limit; verify the "light touch" positioning and zero return accuracy of the welding head under no-load conditions. Run the wire feeder without load and observe the consistency between the wire guide / pressure / feed wheel meshing and the encoder.
[0073] Step Six: Monitoring-Cleaning-Welding Linkage Drill. No-load linkage: The wire feed trajectory, cleaning galvanometer trajectory, and camera acquisition sequence are consistent; low-power / short-time testing on the sample confirms that the camera can correctly distinguish circumferential oxidation differences and drive the three-channel galvanometer for differentiated cleaning; dust is carried in and extracted by directional airflow.
[0074] Step 7: Formal Additive Manufacturing. First, establish stable protective gas and target temperature and humidity conditions; initiate arcing with low power and short passes, and monitor the synchronization of power / duty cycle / scanning trajectory and wire feed speed throughout the process, triggering interlock shutdown in case of abnormalities.
[0075] Therefore, the present invention adopts the above-mentioned laser melting wire device and method for ultrafast laser pretreatment of magnesium-lithium welding wire surface. Through the synchronous control of the real-time monitoring system of the cleaning process, the red-green laser layer cleaning system and the control system, and the output of the non-balance energy of the red-green laser layer cleaning device, the non-balance cleaning and layer removal of magnesium-lithium welding wire are realized, thereby solving the problems of easy oxidation and poor weldability of magnesium-lithium welding wire.
[0076] Example 2: Based on Example 1, the addition of a secondary shell 15, honeycomb perforated pipe 13, and air supply pipe 14 allows for an additional stage of fine cleaning during the cleaning process of blowing and then extracting air from the welding wire. This prevents the irregular flow of debris caused by blowing and extraction within the same space, which could lead to internal dust disorder and the possibility of small amounts of debris being carried out and used in welding, affecting the welding quality. The two-stage cleaning system enables an independent circulation system, preventing debris from entering during the external cleaning process while also performing a fine cleaning on the final welding wire, achieving a high-precision cleaning effect.
[0077] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. 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.
