[0030] The embodiment of the present application provides a special laser welding fixture for welding annular parts, wherein the weld seam of the annular parts is distributed along the axial direction of the annular parts.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a special fixture for laser welding includes:
[0032] The bottom plate 1 is used to contact the outer ring of the annular component. The annular component surrounds the outer circumference of the bottom plate 1. The bottom plate 1 is provided with an air outlet 13.
[0033] The movable plate 2 is located above the base plate 1 and is used to press against the outer ring of the annular part. The second end corresponds to the fourth end. The movable plate 2 is provided with a hollow area 21 for the laser welding head to pass through.
[0034] Among them, the weld of the annular part is located above the air outlet 13, and the weld of the annular part is located within the projection range of the hollow area 21 on the base plate 1, and the air outlet 13 is arranged corresponding to the hollow area 21, and the air outlet 13 is used to introduce inert protective gas into the weld area and the hollow area 21 of the annular part.
[0035] The bottom plate 1 includes a first end and a second end relative to each other, and the movable plate 2 includes a third end and a fourth end relative to each other, and the first end and the third end correspond to each other. When the annular part is placed on the bottom plate 1, the axial direction of the annular part is parallel to the direction from the first end to the second end, and the annular part enters between the bottom plate 1 and the movable plate 2 along the direction from the first end to the second end; a positioning through hole 3 and a positioning groove 4 are provided on the end of the bottom plate 1 near the second end, and the length direction of the positioning through hole 3 and the depth direction of the positioning groove 4 are perpendicular to the top surface of the bottom plate 1, and the positioning groove 4 is located on the top surface of the bottom plate 1, and a positioning column 5 is provided on the fourth end of the movable plate 2 to cooperate with the positioning through hole 3, and a positioning protrusion 6 is provided on the movable plate 2 to cooperate with the positioning groove 4. When the movement approaches and moves away from the bottom plate 1, the positioning column 5 slides along the positioning through hole 3, and when the movement approaches and moves away from the bottom plate 1, the positioning protrusion 6 simultaneously approaches and moves away from the positioning groove 4.
[0036] The guiding and positioning structure of the base plate 1 and the movable plate 2 is located at the second end of the base plate 1. The annular part enters between the movable plate 2 and the base plate 1 from the first end of the base plate 1 and is sleeved on the outer periphery of the base plate 1. The base plate 1 is used to be detachably mounted on the workbench of the pressure equipment by bolts, and the movable plate 2 is used to be mounted on the downward pressure output end of the pressure equipment. The pressure equipment provides the movable plate 2 with a pressing force on the annular part. In order to avoid the pressure equipment from affecting the placement of the annular part, in an embodiment of the present application, a mounting bracket can be designed on the workbench of the pressure equipment. The bottom end of the mounting bracket is fixed on the workbench, and the top end of the mounting bracket is connected to the second end of the base plate 1, so that enough space is reserved below the first end of the base plate 1 to accommodate the annular part. The coordination of the positioning column 5, the positioning through hole 3, the positioning protrusion 6 and the positioning groove 4 in the present application improves the alignment efficiency of the base plate 1 and the movable plate 2, and prevents the hollow area 21 from deviating from the weld.
[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, when welding an annular part, the butt end of the annular part is pre-welded and pre-fixed, and then the annular part is sleeved over the outer periphery of the base plate 1. At this time, the top of the annular part is located between the base plate 1 and the movable plate 2. When adjusting the annular part, the weld of the annular part is located above the air outlet 13. The pressure device is controlled to move the movable plate 2 downward. The movable plate 2 presses both sides of the weld of the annular part against the base plate 1 to fix the annular part. The laser welding head then passes through the hollow area 21 to complete the welding of the butt end of the annular part. During the welding process, the annular part is clamped by the base plate 1 and the movable plate 2, which improves the stability of the annular part during welding, saves labor, and improves welding quality and efficiency.
[0038] A vent tube 12 is provided within the base plate 1. A groove 11 is provided on the top surface of the base plate 1. One end of the vent tube 12 is located in the groove 11, and the other end of the vent tube 12 extends to the side of the base plate 1. The other end of the vent tube 12 is connected to an inert gas source. The portion of the vent tube 12 corresponding to the groove 11 is provided with a plurality of outlet holes 13. In this embodiment of the present application, the inert gas is argon. In this embodiment of the present application, the length of the groove 11 and the hollow area 21 is greater than the length of the weld, ensuring that the groove 11 and the hollow area 21 completely cover the weld.
[0039] The groove 11 is long and narrow, with semicircular ends. The hollow area 21 is long and narrow, with semicircular ends. The length of the hollow area 21 is parallel to the length of the groove 11, and the width of the hollow area 21 is smaller than the width of the groove 11. The length of the groove 11 is parallel to the length of the weld of the annular component placed on the base plate 1. While ensuring that the groove 11 and the hollow area 21 can cover the weld, the opening size of the groove 11 and the hollow area 21 is reduced, thereby improving the clamping stability of the annular component by the base plate 1 and the movable plate 2.
[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the center of the hollow area 21 is aligned with the center of the groove 11.
[0041] The inner wall of the top of the hollow area 21 is tapered, and the tapered portion of the hollow area 21 gradually expands from bottom to top. The tapered design facilitates the laser welding head to enter the hollow area 21.
[0042] The length direction of the vent pipe 12 is parallel to the length direction of the groove 11, the width of the vent pipe 12 is smaller than the width of the groove 11, and two exhaust holes 13 are provided on the air outlet 13, the number of the air outlet holes 13 in each row is multiple, and the arrangement direction of each exhaust hole 13 is parallel to the length direction of the groove 11.
[0043] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
