There are also multiple image acquisition devices 400 (the same number as the observation windows 101 and the brackets 700). The image acquisition ends of the multiple image acquisition devices 400 are respectively mounted on multiple brackets 700, and the image acquisition ends of the multiple image acquisition devices 400 are aligned with the welding area of ​​the specimen 1 through multiple observation windows 101. This design enables multi-angle recording of the dynamic behavior of the arc and molten droplet transfer, obtaining the shape, stability, and energy distribution of the arc at different spatial locations, analyzing the contraction or diffusion of the arc under low-pressure conditions, avoiding blind spots from a single perspective, and accurately recording the spatter and transfer patterns of the molten droplets (such as short-circuit transfer, spray transfer, etc.), providing data support for optimizing welding parameters. In this embodiment, there are two observation windows 101, two brackets 700, and two image acquisition devices 400.

[0043] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5Optionally, the welding platform 210 includes a column 211, a platform 212, a limiting member 213, and a clamping member 214. The column 211 is vertically fixed inside the housing 100. The platform 212 is mounted on the upper end of the column 211 and has a horizontal surface. The horizontal surface of the platform 212 is used to support the specimen 1 (e.g., in the installed state, the lower surface of the specimen 1 is in contact with the horizontal surface of the platform 212). The limiting member 213 is disposed on the platform 212 to restrict the specimen 1 and prevent the specimen 1 from moving during welding. The clamping member 214 is disposed on the platform 212 and located above the specimen 1 to clamp the specimen 1 (e.g., in the clamped state, the lower surface of the clamping member 214 is in contact with the upper surface of the specimen 1) to prevent the specimen 1 from warping during welding.

[0044] refer to Figure 4 Optionally, the limiting member 213 is a stop block with a groove on its side. In a specific test, the specimen 1 is placed on the surface of the platform 212, and one end is inserted into the groove on the side of the stop block. This design enables the limiting member 213 to limit the specimen 1, preventing it from shifting during welding and affecting the welding effect.

[0045] refer to Figure 4 Optionally, the clamping component 214 is a liftable clamping plate. In a specific test, after the specimen 1 is inserted into the slot, the clamping plate can be controlled to move downwards and press the specimen 1. Of course, when replacing the specimen 1, the clamping plate needs to be controlled to move upwards and away from the specimen 1 first. This design enables the clamping component 214 to press the specimen 1, preventing the specimen 1 from warping during welding and affecting the welding effect. In this embodiment, the platform 212 is provided with a threaded hole, and a bolt 215 is provided in the threaded hole. The clamping plate is provided with a through hole and is sleeved on the outside of the bolt 215 through the through hole. When the bolt 215 is tightened, the range of motion of the clamping plate can be gradually reduced, and finally the clamping plate and the platform 212 clamp the specimen 1.

[0046] refer to Figure 3 Optionally, the protective assembly 300 also includes a fixing plate 320, which is disposed inside the housing 100 and located between the welding platform 210 and the observation window 101. The fixing plate 320 has grooves or through holes along its thickness direction, and the light-transmitting baffle 310 is embedded in the grooves or through holes. This design helps to improve the loading and unloading efficiency of the light-transmitting baffle 310, thereby facilitating the replacement of the light-transmitting baffle 310.

[0047] When performing welding tests using the welding test apparatus of this application embodiment, the test process is as follows: The staff first fixes the two test pieces 1 to be welded together on the welding platform 210, then seals the machine box 100, starts the external negative pressure source, and draws out the air in the machine box 100, so that the air pressure in the machine box 100 is reduced and maintained within the preset value range. Based on the temperature and humidity inside the chassis 100, staff can use a humidifier and a refrigeration unit to regulate the temperature and humidity inside the chassis 100; at the same time, staff can turn on the fan 500 to simulate a windy scenario. After the air pressure, temperature, humidity and wind speed inside the aforementioned chassis 100 are adjusted to the appropriate levels, the welding robot 220 is started. The welding robot 220 begins to weld the specimen 1. During the welding process, the image acquisition device 400 remains on, and the image acquisition device 400 captures images of the welding process, recording the electric arc and the transition dynamic behavior of the molten droplets generated during welding, which is convenient for subsequent analysis.

[0048] The welding test apparatus of this application includes a chassis 100 with an observation window 101, a welding assembly 200 disposed within the chassis 100, an external negative pressure source connected to the chassis 100, and an image acquisition device 400 disposed outside the chassis 100 and capable of acquiring images of the welding process through the observation window 101. During the test, the chassis 100 can cooperate with the external negative pressure source to adjust the internal air pressure of the chassis 100 to simulate a high-altitude, low-pressure welding environment, providing realistic and reliable test conditions for welding parameter research. The image acquisition device 400 can capture the arc morphology and droplet transfer dynamic behavior in real time. In other words, this device can simulate a low-pressure welding environment and observe key parameters such as arc morphology and droplet transfer dynamic behavior under low-pressure welding conditions, thereby enabling the analysis and acquisition of the intrinsic relationship between air pressure, welding parameters, and weld formation, providing a basis for the formulation of welding processes in high-altitude, low-pressure areas. In addition, the welding test device also includes a light-transmitting baffle 310 disposed inside the housing 100 and located between the welding platform 210 and the observation window 101. The light-transmitting baffle 310 can prevent welding spatter from contaminating the observation window 101, so as to ensure that the image acquisition device 400 can acquire a clear image, which helps to improve the test accuracy and ensure the reliability of the final welding process.
