Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of laser welding equipment, in particular to a laser welding tubular workpiece positioning device. Background Art
[0002] Laser welding is a welding method that uses a high-energy-density laser beam as a heat source to locally heat the material to a molten state, and then cools and solidifies to achieve connection. During the laser welding process, the laser beam is focused on the surface of the workpiece, causing the material in the irradiated area to quickly heat up to above the melting point, forming a molten pool. As the laser beam moves, the liquid metal in the molten pool flows and solidifies under the action of surface tension and gravity, thereby connecting the two workpieces together;
[0003] Tubular workpieces need to be kept in a precise position during welding to ensure the quality and accuracy of the weld. The positioning device can firmly fix the tubular workpiece to prevent it from moving or shaking during welding. During the welding relief process, although the welding heat source has been removed, the workpiece will still be affected by residual stress and thermal deformation. The positioning device can resist the effects of these forces and keep the position of the workpiece unchanged, thereby ensuring that the size and shape of the weld meet the design requirements;
[0004] In industrial production, the sizes and shapes of tubular workpieces are often varied. Some existing positioning devices are designed only for workpieces within a specific size range, and lack the ability to adapt to tubular workpieces of different diameters, resulting in a small scope of application of the positioning device. Therefore, a laser welding tubular workpiece positioning device is proposed to solve the above problem. Utility Model Content
