Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , in the embodiment of the present utility model, a friction stir welding aluminum chip collection device includes: a collection mechanism 200 for cleaning and collecting aluminum chips. The collection mechanism 200 includes: a vacuum generator 210, the input end of the vacuum generator 210 is connected and fixed with a material extraction and feeding cover 220, and the output end of the vacuum generator 210 is connected and fixed with a PVC pipe 230. A storage component is arranged at the top of the PVC pipe 230, and a positioning component is arranged outside the vacuum generator 210; an air blowing mechanism 300 for blowing off aluminum chips.
[0033] Specifically, by fixing both the collection mechanism 200 and the air blowing mechanism 300 on the welding head 110, after the friction stir welding equipment 100 is used up, the collection mechanism 200 is used to suck and store the aluminum chips milled by the flash milling tool 120, and the air blowing mechanism 300 is used to blow off the aluminum chips milled by the flash milling tool 120, facilitating the collection mechanism 200 to suck the aluminum chips, making the use more convenient.

The positioning component includes: a fixing plate 250; a fixed aluminum profile 260, arranged at one end of the fixing plate 250; a fixed bracket 280, fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vacuum generator 210; two connecting blocks 270, respectively sleeved and fixed at the top and bottom of the outer wall of the fixed aluminum profile 260, and one ends of the fixing plate 250 and the fixed bracket 280 are respectively fixedly connected to the connecting blocks 270 at the corresponding positions.
[0036] In this embodiment, the material receiving box 240 is fixedly connected to the welding head 110, and the fixing plate 250 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the welding head 110. By connecting the compressed air conveying pipeline to the air inlet end of the vacuum generator 210, and the compressed air is discharged from the output end of the vacuum generator 210. When the compressed air starts to be conveyed, the compressed air flows through the output end of the vacuum generator 210 and into the PVC pipe 230. The flowing air at the output end position of the vacuum generator 210 will cause a negative pressure at the position of its input end, thereby evacuating the inside of the material suction and feeding cover 220. The open end of the material suction and feeding cover 220 faces the flash milling tool 120, so as to facilitate sucking the aluminum chips milled by the flash milling tool 120.

[0042] During specific implementation, the connection shell 310 is fixed on the welding head 110, and a pipeline for conveying compressed air is connected to the pipe joint 320, so as to inject compressed air into the interior of the connection shell 310. The compressed air is ejected by the air injection pipe 330, and the bottom of the air injection pipe 330 is opposite to the flash milling tool 120, so as to facilitate blowing off the aluminum chips milled by the flash milling tool 120, facilitating the collection mechanism 200 to collect the aluminum chips, ensuring the cleaning effect of the collection mechanism 200, and improving the collection effect of the collection mechanism 200 on the aluminum chips.
