Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of laser welding, in particular to a protective gas blowing mechanism and a laser welding machine. Background Technique
[0002] Laser welding is an efficient and precise welding method that uses a laser beam with a high energy density as a heat source. During the laser welding process, the protective gas plays a very important role. During the laser welding process, it is necessary to blow the protective gas on the surface of the weld. The protective gas can not only remove the plasma generated by the irradiated part of the beam, improve the melting characteristics, improve the weld quality, reduce the splash of welding slag, but also prevent the metal from oxidizing and blackening to a certain extent during the welding process.
[0003] The protective gas blowing mechanism of the existing laser welding machine often directly uses a conduit to blow the protective gas to the contact point between the welding head and the metal workpiece. This method makes the blowing of the protective gas uneven, and then makes the welding quality of the metal workpiece unstable and the surface consistency poor, which is difficult to meet the welding quality requirements of the metal workpiece.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, research and improvement are carried out on the existing structure and deficiencies, and a protective gas blowing mechanism and a laser welding machine are proposed. Content of the Utility Model

The protective gas in the diversion channel 6 can flow downward along the guide cylinder 5 and be evenly diverted by the diversion plates 7, and finally be evenly ejected through the air outlet at the bottom of the diversion channel 6.
[0022] As Figure 1 - Figure 2As shown in the figure, a flow equalizing component 4 is installed inside the inner cylinder body 301. The flow equalizing component 4 includes a micro motor 401, a rotating shaft 402, a driving gear 403, a passive gear ring 404, a connecting upper ring 405 and a stirring blade 406.
