Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of laser welding technology, in particular to a three-jaw chuck used for laser welding of optical fiber sensitive ring modules. Background Art

[0002] The fiber optic sensitive ring is the most important angular velocity sensor in a fiber optic gyroscope. Its basic structure typically consists of a loop-shaped fiber coil and a high-thermal conductivity frame. As gyroscope precision requirements increase, the fiber optic sensitive ring's environmental requirements for temperature, electromagnetic field, humidity, and other factors become increasingly stringent. Therefore, the packaging and protection measures for the fiber optic sensitive ring must meet even higher standards. The fiber optic sensitive ring is encapsulated and protected by a removable, interlocking ring support and cover assembly. The main body of the ring support is secured to the bottom of the ring support with adhesive, while the pigtail is positioned outside the ring support through a slotted design. Finally, the ring support cover is attached and laser welded to complete the package. The quality of laser welding not only affects the package's robustness but also significantly impacts the magnetic shielding performance and thermal conductivity of the entire package housing. Therefore, a chuck and fixing mechanism are required during laser welding to secure the weldment and minimize the effects of other variables during the welding process.

[0003] In the related art, the chuck and the fixing mechanism are designed independently. The former clamps the weldment horizontally through electric claws, and the latter clamps it vertically through an elastic mechanism. The two cooperate with each other to complete the fixation of the weldment.

[0004] With respect to the above technical solution, there is a defect that the chuck and the fixing mechanism do not fit tightly together, thereby reducing the welding qualification rate. Utility Model Content

[0030] Referring to Figure 1 , the fixing block 225 is detachably connected with at least one extension block 2251, and the plurality of extension blocks 2251 can be detachably connected in any pair. When at least two extension blocks 2251 need to be connected, the plurality of extension blocks 2251 are connected two by two and arranged in the length extension direction of the fixing block 225, so as to expand the force application area of the fixing block 225 relative to the surface of the welding piece. In the embodiment of the application, each fixing block 225 is connected with one extension block 2251, which can effectively improve the force application area of the fixing block 225, so as to be suitable for the welding object with a larger horizontal cross-sectional area.

[0031] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the upper surface of the clamping mechanism body 22 is provided with a mounting groove 221, the mounting groove 221 is fixedly installed with a ring cover 222, and the inside of the mounting groove 221 is provided with an adjusting screw 223, the threaded end of the adjusting screw 223 locally penetrates through the ring cover 222, then the adjusting screw 223 is arranged in a ring, the spring 224 is arranged in the inside of the mounting groove 221, one end of the spring 224 is connected to the nut end of the adjusting screw 223, and the other end is connected to the ring cover 222, and the threaded end of the adjusting screw 223 is threadedly connected to the fixing block 225, that is, when the height of the fixing block 225 is adjusted, the staff moves the fixing block 225 upward, the fixing block 225 drives the adjusting screw 223 to move upward, so that the nut end of the adjusting screw 223 cooperates with the ring cover 222 to compress the spring 224, and the elastic force provided by the spring 224 can force the fixing block 225 to abut against the upper surface of the welding object, thereby improving the stability of clamping.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] Based on Example 1, the main difference between the embodiment of the present application and Example 1 is that the shape of the fixing block 225 is different, as follows:

[0038] The fixing block 225 is a length-limiting fixing block 225 , and the upper end of the fixing block 225 is a rectangular parallelepiped, which can be suitable for smaller objects to be welded, providing a more stable holding force, saving time and effort, and improving work efficiency.

[0039] The implementation principle of a three-jaw chuck used for laser welding of optical fiber sensitive ring modules in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: the staff places the object to be welded at the target position, and then controls the moving electric claw 2 and pulls the fixed blocks 225 on all the clamping mechanism bodies 22 to clamp the object to be welded, and at the same time adjusts the angle of the fixed block 225 to clamp the object to be welded, that is, clamps the object to be welded in the horizontal and vertical directions, effectively enhancing the stability of the clamping, thereby improving the stability and pass rate of the welding.
