Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of welding technology, specifically relating to a welding device for improving the quality of the start and end sections of laser filler wire welding. Background Technology

[0002] In modern manufacturing, laser wire filler welding technology is widely used in many fields such as automobiles, aerospace, and shipbuilding, playing a key role in connecting metal sheets of different materials or thicknesses.

[0003] Traditional laser wire-feeding welding devices often lack precise and stable control over the start and end points of the welding process. During wire feeding, the fixed and rigid position of the wire feed tube makes it difficult to adjust flexibly according to different welding conditions. With the diversification of welding plate specifications and materials, the fixed position of the wire feed tube cannot accurately match the welding point, resulting in significant deviations in the position of the wire delivery. This leads to inconsistent fusion quality in the initial stage of welding, easily causing defects such as incomplete fusion and porosity, which seriously affect the strength and sealing of the weld. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a welding device for improving the quality of the start and end sections of laser wire filler welding. To achieve the above objectives, it solves the problem that existing laser wire filler welding devices lack precise and stable control over the start and end sections of welding.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a welding device for improving the quality of the start and end sections of laser filler wire welding, including a base, a lifting mechanism on the top of the base, a welding mechanism slidably mounted on the lifting mechanism, and a fastening mechanism sleeved on the outer wall of the welding mechanism;

[0006] The welding mechanism includes a laser welding head, a bracket, a sliding rod, an external thread, a threaded sleeve, a first spring, a clamping plate, a wire feed tube, a limiting plate, a movable block, an adjusting bolt, a mounting cylinder, and a heat insulation cap. The bottom of the outer wall of the laser welding head is fixedly fitted with a bracket. One side wall of the bracket has a sliding hole for the sliding rod to slide through. The bottom outer wall of the sliding rod has an external thread, and a threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the external thread. A first spring is arranged around the outer wall of the external thread, and both ends of the first spring abut against the threaded sleeve and the bracket, respectively. A clamping plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding rod, and a wire feed tube is inserted into the clamping plate. A set of limiting plates is fixedly connected to the bottom of the clamping plate near the sliding rod. The two limiting plates are L-shaped, and a movable block is movably connected between the two limiting plates. A threaded hole for the adjusting bolt is threaded through the outer side of the limiting plate. A mounting cylinder is fixedly fitted in the middle of the movable block, and a heat insulation cap is movably connected to the top of the upper end of the mounting cylinder. The heat insulation cap is inserted into the wire feed tube.

[0007] Furthermore, a resistance wire is installed on the inner ring surface of the mounting cylinder, a heat-conducting cylinder is sleeved inside the mounting cylinder, and the heat-conducting cylinder is interference-fitted with the heat insulation cap.

[0008] Specifically, the heat generated by the resistance wire is transferred to the heat insulation cap through the heat-conducting cylinder, which can preheat the wire feeding tube. This is a specific technical means to improve the quality of the start and end sections of laser filler wire welding. It helps the welding wire reach a suitable temperature before entering the welding area, thereby improving the melting effect and welding fusion.

[0009] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a support plate, a cylinder, a sliding seat, a slide rail, a mounting plate, and a sleeve rod. The top of the base is fixedly provided with a support plate, which is L-shaped. A cylinder is provided on the top of the support plate. The telescopic end of the cylinder is connected to the sliding seat by bolts. A slide rail is provided on the left side wall of the support plate. The sliding seat is slidably disposed with the slide rail. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding seat away from the slide rail by bolts. A sleeve rod is connected to the outer wall of the mounting plate.

[0010] Specifically, the cylinder extends and retracts, causing the sliding seat to slide on the slide rail, thereby raising and lowering the sleeve rod connected to the mounting plate. The slide rail ensures the smooth movement of the sliding seat, which plays a crucial role in the precise height adjustment and stability of the welding mechanism during the welding process, and is an important support for achieving high-quality laser wire filler welding at the start and end points.

[0011] Furthermore, a limiting seat is slidably provided on the sleeve rod, and the surface of the limiting seat is provided with a mounting hole for the laser welding head to slide on. The limiting seat is provided with bolts that can be fixed to the laser welding head.

[0012] Specifically, the position of the laser welding head can be flexibly adjusted and fixed through the mounting holes and fixing bolts on the limit seat, thereby better controlling the welding position and ensuring that the laser welding head can be accurately aligned with the welding area during the welding start and end sections and throughout the entire welding process, further improving the welding quality.

[0013] Furthermore, the fastening mechanism includes a fixed seat, a threaded rod, a rotating shaft, a limiting cavity, a threaded groove, a limiting block, and a top rod. The fixed seat is fitted onto the bottom of the outer wall of the laser welding head. A rotating shaft is provided on the side wall of the fixed seat. A threaded rod is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft. A threaded groove is provided in the fixed seat for the threaded rod to slide. A limiting cavity is provided in the inner cavity of the fixed seat, and the limiting cavity is connected to the threaded groove. A top rod is fixed to the top of the threaded rod. A limiting block is provided on the top of the top rod. The limiting block is slidably disposed in the limiting cavity. The other side wall of the limiting block abuts against the laser welding head.

[0014] Specifically, the threaded rod is moved by rotating the shaft, causing the push rod and the limiting block to exert a resistance force on the laser welding head to achieve fastening. This fastening mechanism effectively prevents the laser welding head from shaking or shifting during the welding process, which is crucial for ensuring the quality and precision of the welding start and end sections.

[0015] Furthermore, the diameter of the push rod is larger than the diameter of the threaded rod, and a spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the push rod, with the spring located inside the limiting cavity;

[0016] Specifically, the presence of the spring provides a buffering force for the tightening process, ensuring sufficient tightening force to prevent the welding head from shaking while avoiding damage to the laser welding head due to over-tightening. This extends the service life of the welding head and also helps maintain the welding head in a stable working state, thus improving welding quality.

[0017] Furthermore, the wire feeding tube extends through the clamping plate to between the two limiting plates, and the top of the adjusting bolt extends to the side wall of the movable block;

[0018] Specifically, the fixing degree of the wire feeding tube can be flexibly adjusted by adjusting the bolts, ensuring the stability and accuracy of wire feeding, thereby improving the wire feeding quality of the start and end sections of laser filler wire welding, which plays an important role in improving the overall welding quality.

[0019] Furthermore, a mounting bracket is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the fixed base, and the mounting bracket has a slot for the wire feeding tube to pass through.

[0020] Specifically, the wire feeding tube is arranged reasonably and stably in the device, and its coordination with other components is better. This can effectively avoid problems such as uneven wire feeding caused by unstable position of the wire feeding tube during the wire feeding process, and improve the quality of the start and end sections of laser filler wire welding.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] The sliding rod of this invention is connected to the bracket via an external thread, a threaded sleeve, and a first spring. A clamping plate is connected to the bottom of the sliding rod, and a wire feeding tube is inserted into the clamping plate. The position of the wire feeding tube can be adjusted by adjusting the threaded sleeve to adapt to different welding positions and angles, ensuring the accuracy and stability of wire feeding and thus improving the quality of laser wire filling welding. The limiting plate, movable block, and adjusting bolt on the clamping plate allow for more precise positioning and fixation of the wire feeding tube. By adjusting the adjusting bolt, the position of the movable block can be changed, thereby clamping or loosening the wire feeding tube, facilitating adjustment and fixation of the wire feeding tube under different working conditions.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 6This utility model provides a technical solution: a welding device for improving the quality of the start and end sections of laser filler wire welding, including a base 1, a lifting mechanism 2 is provided on the top of the base 1, a welding mechanism 4 is slidably provided on the lifting mechanism 2, and a fastening mechanism 3 is sleeved on the outer wall of the welding mechanism 4.

[0033] The welding mechanism 4 includes a laser welding head 402, a bracket 403, a slide rod 404, an external thread 405, a threaded sleeve 407, a first spring 406, a clamping plate 409, a wire feeding tube 412, a limiting plate 408, a movable block 415, an adjusting bolt 416, a mounting cylinder 414, and a heat insulation cap 413.

[0035] The lifting mechanism 2 includes a support plate 201, a cylinder 202, a sliding seat 204, a slide rail 205, a mounting plate 206, and a sleeve rod 207. The support plate 201 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. The support plate 201 is L-shaped. The cylinder 202 is installed on the top of the support plate 201. The extension end of the cylinder 202 is connected to the sliding seat 204 by bolts. The slide rail 205 is installed on the left side wall of the support plate 201. The sliding seat 204 is slidably installed with the slide rail 205. The mounting plate 206 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding seat 204 away from the slide rail 205 by bolts. The sleeve rod 207 is connected to the outer wall of the mounting plate 206.

[0036] Among them: a limiting seat 401 is slidably provided on the sleeve rod 207, and the surface of the limiting seat 401 is provided with a mounting hole for the laser welding head 402 to slide on, and the limiting seat 401 is provided with a bolt that can be fixed to the laser welding head 402.

[0037] The fastening mechanism 3 includes a fixed seat 301, a threaded rod 304, a rotating shaft 302, a limiting cavity 306, a threaded groove 303, a limiting block 307, and a top rod 305. The fixed seat 301 is fitted onto the bottom of the outer wall of the laser welding head 402. The rotating shaft 302 is provided on the side wall of the fixed seat 301. The threaded rod 304 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 302. The threaded groove 303 is provided in the fixed seat 301 for the threaded rod 304 to slide. The limiting cavity 306 is provided in the inner cavity of the fixed seat 301 and is connected to the threaded groove 303. The top of the threaded rod 304 is fixedly provided with a top rod 305. The top of the top rod 305 is provided with a limiting block 307. The limiting block 307 is slidably disposed in the limiting cavity 306. The other side wall of the limiting block 307 abuts against the laser welding head 402.

[0038] Wherein: the diameter of the push rod 305 is larger than the diameter of the threaded rod 304, the outer wall of the push rod 305 is fitted with a spring, and the spring is located in the limiting cavity 306.

[0039] Wherein: the wire feeding tube 412 extends through the clamping plate 409 to between the two limiting plates 408, and the top of the adjusting bolt 416 extends to the side wall of the movable block 415.

[0040] Among them, a mounting bracket 410 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the fixed base 301, and the mounting bracket 410 has a hole or groove for the wire feeding tube 412 to pass through.

[0041] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: Based on the workpiece thickness and welding process requirements, the control system activates the cylinder 202 of the lifting mechanism 2. The telescopic end of the cylinder 202 drives the sliding seat 204 to rise or fall along the slide rail 205, thereby adjusting the sleeve 207 on the mounting plate 206 to a suitable height. At this time, the limit seat 401 on the sleeve 207 and the welding mechanism 4 also move to the corresponding height. The operator can use measuring tools or laser rangefinders to precisely adjust the vertical distance between the welding mechanism 4 and the workpiece surface, ensuring that the laser welding head 402 is at the optimal starting welding height.

[0042] Rotating the shaft 302 of the fastening mechanism 3 causes the threaded rod 304 to move within the threaded groove 303. The push rod 305 drives the limiting block 307 to move towards the laser welding head 402 until the limiting block 307 tightly contacts the laser welding head 402. The spring in the limiting cavity 306 provides a certain buffer to ensure that the laser welding head 402 will not shake or shift due to equipment vibration or other external forces during the initial welding stage. The laser welding head 402 slides and adjusts its position through the mounting holes on the limiting seat 401 and is fixed with bolts to ensure precise alignment with the welding part of the workpiece.

[0043] The wire feeding system is activated, and the wire feeding tube 412 begins to feed the welding wire. Simultaneously, the resistance wire on the inner annular surface of the mounting cylinder 414 is energized, generating heat which is transferred to the heat insulation cap 413 via a heat-conducting cylinder. The heat insulation cap 413 preheats the welding wire within the wire feeding tube 412. Since the wire feeding tube 412 extends through the clamping plate 409 between the two limiting plates 408, and the movable block 415 can be finely adjusted via the adjusting bolt 416 to fix the wire feeding tube, the stability and accuracy of the wire feeding are ensured. The preheated welding wire melts more easily, helping to improve the fusion quality at the beginning of the welding process and reducing defects such as incomplete fusion and porosity. When the welding is nearing completion and reaches the predetermined welding end position, the control system first shuts down the wire feeding system, stopping the wire feeding tube 412 from feeding the welding wire. Subsequently, the resistance wire on the inner ring surface of the mounting cylinder 414 is de-energized, stopping the preheating of the heat insulation cap 413 and the wire feeding tube 412, allowing the welding area to cool down naturally. The rotating shaft 302 of the fastening mechanism 3 is rotated to loosen the fastening of the laser welding head 402, and the laser welding head 402 is slid back to its initial position through the limit seat 401 and fixed with bolts.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
