DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The laser module welding copper nozzle structure of the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the preferred embodiments of the present application are shown, it should be understood that the present application described herein can be modified by those skilled in the art, and the advantageous effects of the present application can still be achieved. Therefore, the following description should be understood as extensive knowledge for those skilled in the art, and not as a limitation of the present application.

[0030] The present application will be described in more detail in the following paragraphs with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of the present application will be more apparent according to the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are very simplified and all use non-precise proportions, only to facilitate, clear and assist the purpose of describing the embodiments of the present application.

[0031] Embodiment one

[0032] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the present application embodiment proposes a laser module welding copper nozzle structure, comprising a copper nozzle body 1, a buffer assembly 2 and a protection piece 3.

[0033] The buffer assembly 2 is arranged at the edge of the copper nozzle body 1 and comprises a buffer rod 21 and a buffer spring 22, so as to reduce the damage of the copper nozzle body 1 caused by the impact during the abutting process with the welding piece, and improve the service life of the copper nozzle body 1.

[0034] It should be noted that the buffer rod 21 penetrates the copper nozzle body 1, and one end of the buffer spring 22 is linked with the outer wall of the buffer rod 21, and the other end is connected with the surface of the copper nozzle body 1. When the copper nozzle body 1 is continuously pressed with the welding piece, the buffer spring 22 can be compressed, and at the same time, the buffer spring 22 can provide a reverse force as a pre-tightening force for supporting the welding piece.

[0035] In this embodiment, the protection piece 3 comprises a positioning ring 31 and a telescopic sleeve 32.

[0036] The positioning ring 31 is fixed on the outer wall of the buffer rod 21, and the two ends of the telescopic sleeve 32 are respectively connected with the surface of the positioning ring 31 and the surface of the copper nozzle body 1, and form a protection chamber accommodating the buffer spring 22. That is, the buffer spring 22 and the through hole provided on the copper nozzle body 1 for the operation of the buffer rod 21 are separated from the outside by the protection chamber, so that the invalidation of the buffer spring 22 and the jamming of the buffer rod 21 caused by the contact of impurities with the buffer spring 22 and the deposition in the through hole can be effectively avoided, and the abnormal welding position deviation and welding failure caused by the invalidation of the buffer spring 22 and the jamming of the buffer rod 21 can be avoided.

[0037] The device forms a protection chamber around the outside of the buffer spring 22 by arranging the protection piece 3 comprising the positioning ring 31 and the telescopic sleeve 32, so as to effectively isolate the impurities formed during the welding process from the outside of the through hole provided on the copper nozzle body 1 for installing the buffer rod 21 and the buffer spring 22, so as to avoid the welding deviation or welding failure during the subsequent welding caused by the contact of impurities with the buffer spring 22 or the falling into the through hole, and achieve the purpose of improving the stability of the laser module welding copper nozzle structure during operation.

[0038] In this embodiment, in order to avoid the interference between the telescopic sleeve 32 and the buffer spring 22 during the mutual operation, the positional relationship between the two is further limited, specifically, a gap, i.e. an annular gap, is reserved between the telescopic sleeve 32 and the buffer spring 22, for the deformation (i.e. compression and lengthening) of the telescopic sleeve 32 and the buffer spring 22.

[0039] In a specific example, the telescopic sleeve 32 is arranged as a bellows, so as to meet the telescopic performance and at the same time form the protection chamber around the buffer spring 22.

[0040] Embodiment two

[0041] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The embodiment is based on the first embodiment, and further proposes an intercepting member 4 to provide secondary protection for the buffer assembly 2, so as to further improve the operation stability of the overall structure.

[0042] Specifically, the copper nozzle body 1 is provided with the intercepting member 4 at the axis of the side away from the welding member, which is used to intercept the impurities formed in the welding process.

[0043] In one embodiment, the intercepting member 4 includes a cover body 41 and a ring-shaped protrusion 42.

[0044] It should be noted that the ring-shaped protrusion 42 is arranged on the inner wall of the cover body 41, and the inner wall of the ring-shaped protrusion 42 gradually extends along the axis of the cover body 41 in the direction close to the welding member, so as to increase the interception range of the impurities and improve the interception effect.

[0045] Specifically, the cross section of the ring-shaped protrusion 42 is designed as a circular truncated cone structure, so that an interception cavity is formed between the outer wall of the ring-shaped protrusion 42 and the cover body 41.

[0046] In this embodiment, the ring-shaped protrusion 42 is made of elastic rubber material, so that when the impurities contact the ring-shaped protrusion 42, the impact force of the impurities can be reduced, and the rate of impurity splashing can be slowed down, further preventing the impurities from flying out of the copper nozzle body 1, so as to provide secondary protection for the buffer assembly 2.

[0047] In other embodiments, the outer wall of the copper nozzle body 1 is provided with a decontamination negative pressure hole 5 for sucking out the gas formed in the welding process.

[0048] In addition, the outer wall of the copper nozzle body 1 is further provided with a protective gas inlet hole (not shown in the figure), which is used to reduce the generation of oxide impurities such as oxygen, that is, to reduce the oxidation risk of the copper nozzle and the welding material.

[0049] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present application fall within the scope of the claims of the present application and their equivalent technologies, the present application also intends to include these modifications and variations.
