Abstract
Description

[0002] Welding is a common process used in the manufacturing industry. During the welding process, a shielding gas is usually set to process the molten pool.
[0003] However, existing welding equipment has two gas circuit configurations. The first utilizes the same channel for both the gas circuit and the laser output. Because the laser must oscillate, the inner diameter of the laser channel cannot be too small. This results in a high amount of shielding gas used during operation, resulting in a waste of resources. The second configuration utilizes a separate gas circuit external to the welding equipment through a separate pipe. This external pipe reduces the operational flexibility of the entire welding equipment. Therefore, a gas blowing device that conserves shielding gas is necessary. Utility Model Content

[0042] During the laser processing process, the shielding gas can effectively prevent the focusing lens, protective mirror and other lenses from being contaminated by metal vapor and liquid droplets. Secondly, the metal vapor absorbs the laser and ionizes to form a plasma cloud. The shielding gas is very effective in dispersing the plasma shielding generated during high-power laser welding. Finally, the use of shielding gas can prevent the product from oxidizing during the welding process, thereby ensuring the welding effect. However, the cost of shielding gas is relatively high, and due to the limitations of the processing head structure in the existing technology, the amount of shielding gas used is large and the protection effect is poor, which in turn causes the cost of using the processing head to remain high.
[0043] This application proposes a laser processing head, which can be used in common laser processing scenarios; in which this application uses laser welding as an example for explanation.
[0044] In one embodiment, a laser processing head includes a processing head body, a nozzle, a distance detection module, a safety detection module, and a throttled air blowing device. The throttled air blowing device has a light input end connected to the processing head body, and a light output end coaxially connected to the light input end of the nozzle, for outputting a primary airflow 31, an auxiliary airflow 32, and a laser beam 33 at the light output end of the nozzle.
[0045] Among them, the distance detection module is arranged on the nozzle or the processing head body to detect the real-time distance between the light-emitting end face of the nozzle and the processing surface of the workpiece. It can monitor in real time whether the nozzle, wire feeding structure and gas supply structure interfere with the workpiece and components in the surrounding space to ensure the consistency of welding quality.
[0046] The safety detection module is located within the nozzle or processing head, with its output facing the workpiece. This module detects whether the nozzle's light-emitting end faces the workpiece. When the nozzle's light-emitting end faces the workpiece, the module controls the laser's emission, mitigating the risk of laser beams being directed toward people due to misoperation. Alternatively, the safety detection module can be a material recognition sensor or a marking module (marking the weld seam and using a camera to identify areas to be processed and those not to be processed).
[0047] The processing head body is provided with a QBH module or a QCS module for emitting laser light 33. The laser light 33 is emitted from the processing head body toward the nozzle. The laser light 33 is emitted from the nozzle toward the area to be processed of the workpiece.
[0048] The laser processing head also includes a visible light emission module located within the processing head body. This module emits a visible light beam coaxial with the laser beam, allowing the user to observe the beam spot's location O and facilitate focusing. Furthermore, the defocus of the visible light beam and the laser beam can be adjusted using a focusing lens or focusing mechanism.
[0049] In an optional scenario, the processing head body is provided with a handheld portion for the user to hold; in an optional scenario, the processing head body is provided with a connection end for connecting to a robotic arm.
[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the nozzle includes at least two air flow channels for outputting protective airflow, wherein at least one air flow channel is used to emit laser 33 to the area to be processed of the workpiece, and the other air flow channel is used to output auxiliary airflow 32.
[0051] Specifically, the nozzle includes a first flow channel 10 and an auxiliary flow channel group disposed thereon. Both the first flow channel 10 and the auxiliary flow channel group are interconnected at both ends, with the first flow channel 10 extending along the nozzle's axial direction (i.e., the direction of laser emission) to simultaneously output a primary airflow 31 and a laser beam 33 for processing the workpiece weld. The auxiliary flow channel group includes at least one flow channel for outputting an auxiliary airflow 32 (which may include a second flow channel 21 and a third flow channel 22). The auxiliary airflow 32 outputted by the auxiliary flow channel group can selectively act on the weld seam at the front or rear end of the laser spot's application location. The laser spot's application location and its rear end region form a designated area, i.e., a specific temperature zone or field; alternatively, the laser spot's application location and its front region form a designated area, i.e., a specific temperature zone or field. The auxiliary airflow 32 and the primary airflow 31 form an anti-oxidation protective layer on the temperature field surface of the workpiece (the area to be processed).
[0052] Throttling air blowing device
[0053] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 , the throttling air blowing device is explained in detail.
[0054] The throttled air blowing device includes a hollow outer tube 60 and an inner tube 61 that are coaxially nested. The inner tube 61 is nested within the inner cavity of the outer tube 60 to form an auxiliary gas flow channel 600 for the auxiliary gas flow 32. In other embodiments, the outer tube 60 and the inner tube 61 may be nested within each other, rather than being coaxial.
[0055] Specifically, the inner tube 61 has a phosgene flow channel 610 extending axially therethrough. The auxiliary gas flow channel 600 is connected to each flow channel of the auxiliary outlet flow channel group (i.e., the aforementioned first flow channel 10, second flow channel 21, and third flow channel 22). This means that the gas flow output from the auxiliary gas flow channel 600 is split at the nozzle to form at least one first auxiliary gas flow 321 and at least one second auxiliary gas flow; or it can be output as multiple first auxiliary gas flows 321 arranged side by side or adjacent to each other. The phosgene flow channel 610 is coaxially connected to the first flow channel 10 to simultaneously output the laser beam 33 and the main gas flow 31. The auxiliary gas flow 32 and the main gas flow 31 act on different locations on the weld seam.
[0056] In summary, this technical solution aims to provide the aforementioned structure to deliver an anti-oxidation protective layer tailored to the surface being machined (the machined surface) and the designated area. This provides oxidation isolation between the inner and outer temperature zones of the molten pool, while ensuring isolation from the plasma cloud and air, while minimizing shielding gas flow, resulting in aesthetically pleasing welds and significant economic benefits.
[0057] Auxiliary gas flow channel and phosgene flow channel
[0058] In one embodiment, the auxiliary gas flow channel 600 is configured as a straight-through pipe and is arranged spirally around the phosgene flow channel 610. Figure 2 As shown, at the positions of the outer tube 60 and the inner tube 61 , the auxiliary airflow 32 is arranged around the main airflow 31 in the phosgene flow channel 610 , which helps to cool the inner tube 61 and the outer tube 60 to a certain extent.
[0059] In one embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the extension path of the auxiliary gas flow channel 600 is arranged in a spiral shape around the phosgene flow channel 610 to form a spiral auxiliary gas flow 32 .
[0060] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the auxiliary gas flow channel 600 is arranged as a plurality of micro channels 601 arranged around the phosgene flow channel 610 , which can be arranged in a spiral manner or as straight micro channels 601 , and each micro channel 601 is arranged at intervals around the phosgene flow channel 610 .
[0061] In one embodiment, the auxiliary gas flow channel 600 is located adjacent to the phosgene flow channel 610 , and both are straight-through channels.
[0062] Furthermore, the radial cross-section of the auxiliary gas flow channel 600 (including the cross-section of the microchannel 601) can be a regular circular ring (with at least partially circular inner and outer contours) or an irregular geometric shape, which will not be described in detail here. The radial cross-section of the phosgene flow channel 610 can be a regular shape such as a circle or rectangle, or an irregular geometric shape such as a plum blossom. Users can select the radial cross-sectional shape of the auxiliary gas flow channel 600 and the phosgene flow channel 610 to achieve primary control over the auxiliary and primary airflow parameters.
[0063] Tracheal interface + shunt
[0064] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the light-entering end of the outer tube 60 has a connecting portion 62, and the end surface of the connecting portion 62 forms a first gas pipe interface 63 that is interconnected with the auxiliary gas flow channel 600 for the entry of the protective gas. In addition, the inner wall of the inner tube 61 near the light-entering end is provided with a first diversion port 612 ( Figure 3 As shown, the airflow flowing from the first air pipe interface 63 into the auxiliary gas flow channel 600 is split. Part of the gas flows along the auxiliary gas flow channel 600 toward the nozzle, while the other part of the gas enters the phosgene flow channel 610 through the first diversion port 612 and is output along the phosgene flow channel 610, that is, the inner cavity of the inner tube 61, toward the first flow channel 10 of the nozzle.
[0065] In this way, while reducing costs, a single gas source can be used to achieve the output of multiple airflows. Furthermore, the size, position, shape, and other parameters of the first diversion opening 612 can be rationally arranged. By controlling the flow rate, flow rate, and other parameters of a single gas source, the parameters of the two airflows diverted through the first diversion opening 612 can be controlled, thereby achieving a streamlined structure. Furthermore, there is no limit to the number of first air pipe interfaces 63; they can be one or multiple, evenly arranged around the central axis of the inner tube 61.
[0066] Of course, in other embodiments, two gas sources may be provided without structural limitations. The end surface of the adapter portion 62 forms a first gas pipe interface 63 interconnected with the auxiliary gas flow channel 600 and a second gas pipe interface interconnected with the phosgene flow channel 610. One gas source is used to supply gas to the auxiliary gas flow channel 600, and the other gas source is used to supply gas to the phosgene flow channel 610. The two gas sources respectively control the airflow parameters of the phosgene flow channel 610 and the auxiliary gas flow channel 600 (for example, gas circulation speed, cooling temperature, or protective gas type, etc.). In other words, based on the premise of providing two gas sources, the types of the auxiliary gas flow 32 and the main gas flow 31 outputted from the light outlet of the nozzle can be different, that is, the auxiliary gas flow 32 and the main gas flow 31 can be the same type of protective gas, or two different types of protective gases.
[0067] In one embodiment, the light input end of the nozzle or the light output end of the outer tube 60 is provided with a pressure transfer chamber 613 connected to the auxiliary gas flow channel 600, and each of the flow channels of the auxiliary outlet flow channel group is simultaneously connected to the pressure transfer chamber 613. The pressure transfer chamber 613 is arranged in a ring shape around the axial direction of the nozzle. At the nozzle, the annular pressure transfer chamber 613 is arranged circumferentially around the first flow channel 10. The radial cross-section of the annular pressure transfer chamber 613 has a larger projected area along the axial direction than the radial cross-section of the auxiliary gas flow channel 600. After the protective gas from the auxiliary gas flow channel 600 reaches the annular pressure transfer chamber 613, it is briefly buffered, and then a beam of auxiliary airflow 32 is simultaneously diverted to form at least one high-speed second auxiliary airflow and at least one high-speed third auxiliary airflow 32, thereby accelerating the second auxiliary airflow and the third auxiliary airflow 32.
[0068] Alternatively, as Figure 2 As shown, the outlet (annular) of the auxiliary gas channel 600 is facing each channel, namely the second channel 21 and the third channel 22 , so that the auxiliary gas flow 32 can flow into the second channel 21 and the third channel 22 evenly and synchronously.
[0069] Micropore arrangement of the outlet of the auxiliary gas flow channel 600 at the throttling blowing device
[0070] Alternatively, as Figure 7As shown, the outlet of the auxiliary gas flow channel 600 is set as micropores (not numbered) in different areas. The nozzle and the light outlet end of the outer tube 60 are set to be relatively rotatable. The nozzle rotates before and after a predetermined angle relative to the outer tube 60, corresponding to the micropore areas in different areas. There are differences in micropore size, number, distribution form, etc. between different micropore areas, thereby achieving the adjustment of the gas flow rate of each flow channel, namely the second flow channel 21 and the third flow channel 22. For the specific adjustment structure, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The adjustment structure 23 is connected between the nozzle and the light output end of the outer tube 60.
[0071] Specifically, the regulatory structure 23 is as follows Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the regulating structure comprises a first portion 231 and a second portion 232 that are rotatably connected and coaxial, and can rotate relative to each other about their central axis. One end of the first portion 231 is connected to the light entrance of the nozzle, while one end of the second portion 232 is connected to the light exit of the throttling air blowing device (i.e., the pressure transfer chamber 613). The first portion 231 comprises a first regulating air chamber that communicates with the pressure transfer chamber 613 or the outlets of each flow channel of the auxiliary outlet flow channel group. The second portion 232 comprises a second regulating air chamber that communicates with the nozzle. The bottom wall of the first regulating air chamber is provided with a first microchannel 2310, and the bottom wall of the second regulating air chamber is also provided with a second microchannel 2320. The first microchannel 2310 and the second microchannel 2320 are interconnected. When the first portion 231 and the second portion 232 rotate relative to each other, the first microchannel 2310 and the second microchannel 2320 can be partially offset, completely offset, or directly opposite each other. By means of the above adjustment method, the volume of the auxiliary airflow 32 flowing through the first micro channel 2310 and the second micro channel 2320 is controlled, so as to further control the volume of the second channel 21 and the third channel 22 .
[0072] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the phosgene flow channel 610 comprises at least one direct flow section 70, at least one tapered section 71, and at least one buffer section 72. The tapered section 71 is arranged to taper along the transmission direction of the laser 33. The radial cross-sections of the direct flow section 70 and the buffer section 72 along the inner tube 61 are rectangular, and the radial cross-sectional width of the direct flow section 70 along the inner tube 61 is smaller than the corresponding cross-sectional width of the buffer section 72. The shielding gas flowing in from the first tracheal port 63 is split into a primary flow and an auxiliary flow. The primary flow 31 undergoes a steady flow rate in the direct flow section 70, an acceleration process in the tapered section 71, and a deceleration process in the buffer section 72, thereby regulating the shielding gas flow shape and flow rate, thereby forming an optimal anti-oxidation protective layer.
[0073] The present application also proposes a laser processing device, which includes the nozzle, throttling air blowing device, laser processing head and laser in the above scheme; or, the laser processing device includes the throttling air blowing device, laser processing head and laser in the above scheme.
[0074] The above embodiments of the present invention focus on the differences between the various embodiments. As long as the different features of the various embodiments are not contradictory, they can be combined to form more specific embodiments. Considering the simplicity of the text, they will not be repeated here.
[0075] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
