Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of laser welding visual inspection light source, and in particular to an anti-interference laser welding visual inspection light source device. Background Technology
[0002] In a laser welding visual inspection system, the visual inspection light source needs to provide uniform illumination during the inspection phase, while the laser welding head (1070±10nm wavelength) needs to be quickly positioned for welding after inspection. There are two main ways to install the visual inspection light source and the laser welding head: First, the visual inspection light source is directly above, with the laser welding head to its side; second, the laser welding head is directly above, with the visual inspection light source to its side (e.g., Chinese invention patent CN112894133B, entitled "A Laser Welding System and Weld Point Location Extraction Method"). Regardless of the installation method, the laser welding head and the visual inspection light source are physically close together.
[0003] Currently, in laser welding visual inspection systems, the visual inspection light source contains a photosensitive sensor made of silicon-based photosensitive material. The photosensitive sensor is used to sense the light intensity of the visual inspection light source and to determine whether it is under normal lighting conditions.
[0004] Therefore, in laser welding visual inspection systems, the visual inspection light source has the following defects: After the laser welding head is detected by the visual inspection light source, it performs rapid positioning welding. During this process, the laser welding head emits a high-power infrared laser beam (1070±10nm band). This high-power infrared laser beam will be scattered on the surface of the object to be inspected, causing the visual inspection light source to receive the scattered high-power infrared laser beam. This infrared laser beam has huge energy and a band of 1070±10nm. It will produce a photoelectric response effect on the photosensitive sensor made of silicon-based photosensitive material (silicon response range 190-1100nm). As a result, the scattered high-power infrared laser beam will excite the photosensitive sensor to generate an abnormal photocurrent loop, triggering a short circuit false alarm of the visual inspection light source, resulting in frequent laser welding shutdowns.
[0005] In summary, current laser welding vision inspection systems have the drawback that during the laser welding process, the infrared laser beam emitted by the laser welding head interferes with the normal operation of the vision inspection light source, causing the vision inspection light source to frequently report errors, thus leading to frequent laser welding shutdowns.
[0006] (Of course, in the field of laser welding visual inspection, industry professionals will use the following methods to address the above-mentioned shortcomings:)
[0007] 1. Timing control method: The visual inspection light source is turned on during inspection and turned off during welding, but this method has low production efficiency;
[0008] 2. Physical isolation method: A fixed baffle is used to separate the visual inspection light source and the laser welding head, and a movable baffle is used to block and move away from the bottom of the visual inspection light source (blocking it during welding). However, this method results in bulky inspection equipment and low production efficiency.
[0009] 3. Electromagnetic shielding method: Electromagnetic shielding cannot block high-power infrared laser beams;
[0010] 4. Circuit modification method: The light source components and circuits of the visual inspection light source are designed and modified to ensure that the high-power infrared laser beam does not damage the light source components. However, this type of modification is extremely costly and has poor compatibility.
[0011] In conclusion, these methods still cannot completely prevent the infrared laser beam emitted by the laser welding head from interfering with the normal operation of the visual inspection light source at a low cost and without affecting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

At this time, the high-power infrared laser beam emitted by the laser welding head is diffused through the surface of the object to be welded. The diffused infrared laser beam is blocked by a filter, preventing it from penetrating into the shell. This ensures the normal detection of the photosensitive sensor and avoids frequent errors in the laser welding visual inspection light source device of this invention, thus avoiding frequent shutdowns of laser welding due to frequent errors.
