The displacement sensor 420 records the current position. By the vertical difference between the two records by the displacement sensor 420, the degree of collapse of the gear sensor during the welding process can be detected, thereby judging the welding quality.

[0023] In this embodiment, the laser welding machine 200 is used to generate a laser beam to achieve the function of laser welding. For example... Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the laser welding machine 200 includes a laser emitter 210, a collimating head 220, a beam splitter 230, a galvanometer head 240, and a planar focusing lens 250 connected in sequence.

[0030] The driving member 430 drives the pressing plate 410 to move downward, if the upper shell is located at the abutment of the pressing plate 410, at this time, the value of the pressure sensor 450 continuously increases, if the upper shell abuts against the pressing plate 410, at this time, the value of the pressure sensor 450 does not change, therefore, according to the verticality of the pressure sensor 450, the start and stop of the driving member 430 can be judged, which is convenient to use.

[0033] In order to facilitate the placement of the upper shell and the lower shell, the workbench 300 and the laser welding machine 200 need to be controlled to move relatively in the horizontal direction, and the laser welding machine 200 also needs to be controlled to move along the edge direction of the gear position sensor. Therefore, the moving assembly 500 is further included in the embodiment, and the laser welding machine 200 and / or the workbench 300 are connected with the rack 100 via the moving assembly 500, so as to drive the relative movement of the workbench 300 and the laser welding machine 200.

[0034] In one embodiment, the moving assembly 500 includes an X-axis moving piece 510, a Y-axis moving piece 520 and a Z-axis moving piece 530. The X-axis moving piece 510 and the Y-axis moving piece 520 are both mounted on the rack 100. The output end of the X-axis moving piece 510 is connected with the workbench 300, so as to drive the workbench 300 to move in the first horizontal direction.

[0036] It can be understood that the X-axis moving piece 510, the Y-axis moving piece 520 and the Z-axis moving piece 530 can be realized by using a motor lead screw and the like.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the lower shell is placed in the clamping groove 310 of the workbench 300, and the upper shell is placed on the lower shell. The relative movement of the lower pressing plate 410 and the workbench 300 is driven by the driving piece 430, until the light-transmitting part 411 of the lower pressing plate 410 is pressed on the upper shell. The current position is recorded by the displacement sensor 420. The laser welding machine 200 performs laser welding on the connection between the upper shell and the lower shell.
