[0002] Friction stir welding refers to the use of heat generated by friction between a high-speed rotating welding tool and a workpiece to partially melt the material to be welded. When the welding tool moves forward along the welding interface, the plasticized material flows from the front to the back of the welding tool under the action of the rotating friction force of the welding tool, and forms a dense solid phase weld under the extrusion of the welding tool. In this process, the welding head plays a vital role. The welding head rotates at high speed and rubs the workpiece to achieve welding. The high-speed rotating welding head has large wear and tear. When the wear is too large, it needs to be replaced in time. This requires the wear condition of the welding head to be detected and then determine whether the welding head needs to be replaced. At present, there is no good way to detect the wear condition of the welding head. It is generally detected by visual inspection or measuring with a ruler, which is inefficient and low in accuracy. Therefore, a detection device is needed to assist staff in efficiently detecting the wear condition of the welding head. Utility Model Content
