Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser equipment technology, and in particular to a laser welding head. Background Technology
[0002] A laser welding head is a device used to focus and collimate the laser generated by a laser generator so that the laser produces a predetermined effect when it acts on the workpiece.
[0003] Currently, laser welding heads and laser generator output heads are mostly fixedly connected by snap-fit. Although this method can achieve a fixing effect, it is difficult to eliminate the error of the structural components, resulting in wobbling. Maintaining the center position is quite difficult and requires other structures to ensure that it is in the center, which makes the structure complex. High precision also means high cost.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a laser welding head to overcome the shortcomings of one or more of the existing technologies mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a laser welding head, characterized in that it includes: a laser head body, the two ends of the laser head body are through, a focusing component is detachably connected to the first end of the laser head body, a constriction nozzle is embedded in the second end of the laser head body, the side wall of the constriction nozzle has several slits, one end of the constriction nozzle is gathered towards the center at a predetermined angle, the inner wall of the second end of the laser head body is adapted to the constriction nozzle, and when the constriction nozzle is embedded in the second end of the laser head body, it is further gathered by the pressure of the inner wall of the second end of the laser head body.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the outer side of the second end of the laser head body is stepped and has a first sealing ring, and a fastening nut is also threaded onto the outer side of the second end of the laser head body.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the focusing assembly includes: a lens sleeve, the lens sleeve being threadedly connected to a first end of the laser head body, a lens locking member being threadedly connected to the lens sleeve, a convex wall extending horizontally towards the center from one end of the lens sleeve away from the laser head body, a lens spacer being provided between the lens locking member and the convex wall, a collimating lens being provided at one end of the lens spacer, and a focusing lens being provided at the other end.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the device further includes a lens protective sleeve, which is connected to the end of the lens sleeve away from the laser head body via a screw thread, and the end of the lens protective sleeve connected to the laser head body is also provided with a protective lens.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a second sealing ring is further provided between the protective lens and the focusing lens.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by replacing the traditional buckle with a shrinking nozzle, the fastening force can be ensured while ensuring that the light output head is centered. No other structural assistance is required, which reduces the structural complexity of the welding head and thus reduces costs. Moreover, the precision requirements for the shrinking nozzle are not high, making production more convenient and faster. By setting the lens spacer, the spacing between lenses is achieved while avoiding the need to set a fixed structure in the lens sleeve. Attached Figure Description

Furthermore, "connection" can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. "Fixed" means that the relative positional relationship remains unchanged after the connection. The directional terms mentioned in the embodiments of this utility model, such as "inner," "outer," "top," and "bottom," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this utility model.
[0019] In this embodiment of the invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, a laser welding head is provided, characterized in that it includes: a laser head body 10, with both ends of the laser head body 10 being through, a focusing component 20 being detachably connected to the first end of the laser head body 10, and a constriction nozzle 11 being inserted into the second end of the laser head body 10. The sidewall of the constriction nozzle 11 has several slits 12, and one end of the constriction nozzle 11 is gathered towards the center at a predetermined angle. The inner wall of the second end of the laser head body 10 is adapted to the constriction nozzle 11. When the constriction nozzle 11 is inserted into the second end of the laser head body 10, it is further gathered by the pressure of the inner wall of the second end of the laser head body 10.
[0023] Specifically, the laser head body 10 is a hollow cylinder. A focusing assembly 20 is detachably connected to the first end of the laser head body 10. The focusing assembly 20 is used to collimate and focus the laser. The second end of the laser head body 10 is used to connect to the output head of the laser generator. To facilitate fixing the output head and ensure that the output head is centered, a constriction nozzle 11 is inserted into the second end of the laser head body 10. The side wall of the constriction nozzle 11 has several spaced slits 12, and one end of the constriction nozzle 11 converges towards the center at a predetermined angle. When the output head is inserted into the second end of the laser head body 10, the constricting nozzle 11 will clamp the output head. To increase the clamping force of the constricting nozzle 11, the inner wall of the second end of the laser head body 10 is sloped in cross-section, which matches the angle of the constricting nozzle 11. The tilt angle is slightly smaller than the angle of the constricting nozzle 11, so that when the constricting nozzle 11 is inserted into the second end of the laser head body 10, the inner wall of the laser head body 10 will squeeze the constricting nozzle 11, so that the constricting nozzle 11 will further converge and reduce the diameter under the avoidance of the slit 12, increasing the clamping force on the output head and ensuring the tightness.
[0024] The fixed nozzle 11 is stepped and threaded on the outer side of the second end of the laser head body 10, and is provided with a first sealing ring 14. A fastening nut 13 is connected by the thread. When the fastening nut 13 is tightened, it will compress the insertion degree of the nozzle 11 in the laser head body 10, and at the same time prevent the nozzle 11 from disengaging from the laser head body 10.
[0025] Furthermore, the focusing assembly 20 includes a lens sleeve 21, which is threadedly connected to the first end of the laser head body 10. The inner wall of the lens sleeve 21 is also threaded and connected to a lens locking member 22. At the same time, a convex wall 23 extending horizontally towards the center is provided at the end of the lens sleeve 21 away from the laser head body 10. The collimating lens 25 and the focusing lens 26 are fixed in the lens sleeve 21 by the lens locking member 22 and the convex wall 23. In order to prevent the collimating lens 25 and the focusing lens 26 from being too close and affecting the effect, a lens spacer 24 is also provided between the collimating lens 25 and the focusing lens 26. The lens spacer 24 separates the collimating lens 25 and the focusing lens 26 to ensure the focusing effect of the laser.
[0026] Furthermore, to protect the focusing lens 26, a lens protective sleeve 27 is connected to the end of the lens sleeve 21 away from the laser head body 10 via a screw sleeve 28, and a protective lens 29 is also provided inside the lens protective sleeve 27 to prevent the focusing lens 26 from contacting the outside world. In order to prevent moisture from entering the lens sleeve 21, a second sealing ring 30 is also provided in the lens protective sleeve 27. When the lens protective sleeve 27 is connected to the lens sleeve 21, the second sealing ring 30 is squeezed.
[0027] In summary, this application replaces the traditional snap-fit method with a constriction nozzle 11, which ensures both fastening force and that the light output head is centered without the need for other structural assistance, thus reducing the structural complexity of the welding head and lowering costs. Furthermore, the precision requirements for the constriction nozzle 11 are not high, making production more convenient and faster. By setting the lens spacer 24, the spacing between lenses is achieved while avoiding the need for a fixing structure in the lens sleeve 21.
[0028] This invention is not limited to the description in the specification and embodiments. Therefore, other advantages and modifications can be readily realized by those skilled in the art. Thus, without departing from the spirit and scope of the general concept as defined by the claims and their equivalents, this invention is not limited to the specific details, representative devices and illustrated examples shown and described herein.
