[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] The first embodiment of this utility model:
[0032] like Figures 1-3The present invention provides a quick-change laser welding processing platform, which mainly includes a frame, a platform profile 1, a guide rail 2 and a magnet positioning unit 4. A tank chain 3 connected to the frame is installed at the bottom of the platform profile 1.
[0033] like Figure 3 The guide rail 2 is mounted on the frame in the left-right direction. The profile support 7 at the bottom of the platform profile 1 for placing the workpiece moves in the left-right direction on the guide rail 2 via the slider 8. The platform profile 1 can complete the above-mentioned movement process by being driven by an external drive mechanism or a manual mechanism. The drive mechanism can be a motor screw structure, etc., and the manual mechanism can be a handwheel screw structure, etc.
[0034] like Figure 2 Several independently controlled magnet positioning units 4 are installed on the platform profile 1. Each magnet positioning unit 4 includes a magnet module installed on the platform profile 1 and a magnet controller that is connected to the magnet module.
[0035] The following describes the working structure and working principle of one type of magnet module and magnet controller:
[0036] 1. The magnet module mainly includes:
[0037] 1) Electromagnetic coil: made of enameled copper wire, the number of turns and wire diameter are designed according to the attraction force requirements (e.g. when the attraction force is ≥500N, the coil resistance is about 5Ω and the rated voltage is 24V).
[0038] 2) Magnetic conductor: Made of stacked high-permeability silicon steel sheets to form a magnetic yoke structure, which concentrates magnetic lines of force and guides them to the adsorption surface.
[0039] 3) Magnetic shielding layer: Non-magnetic materials (such as epoxy resin or stainless steel) are embedded at the edge of the magnet module to avoid magnetic field interference between adjacent modules.
[0040] Specifically, a magnetic shielding layer can be installed on each magnet module; or a magnetic shielding layer can be installed on the platform profile 1 between two adjacent magnet modules.
[0041] 4) Adsorption surface: The surface is nickel-plated to improve wear resistance and corrosion resistance. The flatness of the adsorption surface is ≤0.05mm to ensure close contact with the workpiece to be processed.
[0042] The module housing is made of aluminum alloy profile, and the inside is filled with thermally conductive silicone to achieve heat dissipation and mechanical fixation of the electromagnetic coil.
[0043] 2. The circuit module of the magnet controller mainly includes:
[0044] 1) Power Management Unit: Input AC220V, converted to DC24V / 5V by switching power supply to power the electromagnetic coil and control chip.
[0045] 2) Microcontroller (MCU): It adopts the STM32F103 series chip, with built-in SPI / I2C interface, and supports multi-module cascade communication.
[0046] 3) Power drive circuit: Use MOSFET power transistors (such as IRF540N) to control the on and off of the electromagnetic coil, and connect a reverse parallel freewheeling diode (such as 1N4007) to eliminate the back electromotive force when turning off.
[0047] 4) Signal conditioning module: Input: proximity switch signal (NPN / PNP type, 3-24V compatible), sheet metal sensor pulse signal (5V TTL); Output: magnet status indicator (red = magnetization, green = demagnetization), fault alarm relay contact.
[0048] 5) Interface design: Aviation plug: includes power interface (2 pins), communication interface (4 pins, supporting RS485 or CAN bus), and sensor input interface (3 pins).
[0049] 3. The working principle of the above-mentioned magnet module and magnet controller:
[0050] 1) Magnetization process: The MCU receives the main controller instruction via the SPI bus, parses the target module address and action type (magnetization); the corresponding module's MOSFET is turned on, the DC 24V power supply is applied to the electromagnetic coil, generating an excitation current (e.g., 4.8A), the silicon steel magnetic conductor is magnetized, and a strong magnetic field (magnetic induction intensity ≥1.2T) is formed on the adsorption surface; the freewheeling diode is reverse cut off when it is turned on, which does not affect the current output; the delay module starts the timer (e.g., preset 0.3 seconds) to ensure that the magnetic field is stably established.
[0051] 2) Demagnetization process: The MCU sends a demagnetization command, the MOSFET turns off, the coil current drops sharply, generating a reverse induced electromotive force; the freewheeling diode turns on, providing a discharge circuit for the coil, dissipating the magnetic field energy as heat (through the current limiting resistor), avoiding high voltage impact on the circuit; after demagnetization is completed (the magnetic field decays to less than 1% of the initial value), the MCU sends a "demagnetization complete" signal to the main controller.
[0052] 3) Master-Slave Communication Architecture: The master controller (PLC or industrial computer) polls each magnet controller via a bus protocol (such as Modbus RTU) and issues global configurations such as the target sheet quantity and delay parameters. The slave controller (a single magnet module) independently executes local logic. That is, when the material sensor 11 detects a plate-shaped workpiece, the counter increments by 1. When the HMI preset value is reached, a "ready" signal is sent to the master controller. After receiving the "magnetize" command from the master controller, the magnet module at the corresponding position is activated only according to the position signal detected by the limit switch 10 (such as the sensor 9 at X=100mm).
[0053] 4) By using the delay adjustment function, adjacent magnet modules are magnetized in sequence (e.g., module 1 is magnetized → delay 0.2 seconds → module 2 is magnetized), avoiding uneven adsorption force caused by magnetic field superposition.
[0054] 5) In addition, an RC absorption circuit (such as 100Ω + 0.1μF) can be connected in parallel across the coil to suppress high-frequency noise; the controller housing is grounded and the signal cable uses twisted-pair shielded cable to reduce spatial electromagnetic coupling interference.
[0055] Several support columns 5 are evenly installed on the platform profile 1 to support the workpiece. The support columns 5 are nylon column structures, and a smooth spherical structure is provided at the top of the support columns 5. The support columns 5 provide the most basic support for the workpiece.
[0056] A wire groove 6 for placing wires is provided on the platform profile 1 on one side of the magnet positioning unit 4. At least one material sensor 11 is installed on the platform profile 1 for sensing the workpiece.
[0057] like Figure 3 A sensor 9 is installed on one side of the bottom of the platform profile 1, and a limit switch 10 adapted to the sensor 9 is installed on the frame on one side of the guide rail 2. The sensor 9 and the limit switch 10 are adapted to the magnetic positioning unit 4.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0059] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
