[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 A handheld laser welding machine that prevents metal spatter includes a handheld laser welding gun body 1. The handheld laser welding gun body 1 is provided with an arc-shaped cover 2 and a collection frame 3 on the outside. The left side of the arc-shaped cover 2 is an open structure. The arc-shaped cover 2 and the collection frame 3 are connected by a metal shaped flexible tube 4.

[0025] A movable sealing mechanism is provided on the outside of the collection frame 3. The movable sealing mechanism includes L-shaped plates 5 fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the collection frame 3 respectively. A movable shaft 6 is rotatably connected between the two L-shaped plates 5. A movable plate 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable shaft 6. A top cover 8 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the movable plate 7. A rectangular sealing ring 9 is embedded in the upper end of the collection frame 3 through a groove and abuts against the lower end of the top cover 8. A connecting pipe 14 is fixedly connected through the upper end of the top cover 8.

[0026] A drive mechanism is provided on the front side of the rectangular sealing ring 9;

[0027] The collection frame 3 is equipped with a filter cylinder 12 inside, and the outer wall of the filter cylinder 12 has multiple mesh holes.

[0028] In this embodiment: First, the filter cartridge 12 is installed and fixed. The external threaded ring 11 connected to the filter cartridge 12 is screwed into the internal threaded cylinder 13, so that the external threaded ring 11 is tightly abutted against the lower end face of the top cover 8, thereby completing the installation of the filter cartridge 12.

[0029] Subsequently, the drive mechanism drives the movable shaft 6 to rotate counterclockwise between the two L-shaped plates 5. The movable shaft 6 then drives the movable plate 7 to rotate, causing the top cover 8 to flip downwards. When the top cover 8 rotates to a horizontal position, its lower end abuts tightly against the rectangular sealing ring 9, achieving a seal between the collection frame 3 and the top cover 8.

[0030] Next, connect the connecting pipe 14 to the negative pressure pipe of the external negative pressure pump (the negative pressure pipe should be a metal flexible hose). Since the arc-shaped cover 2 and the collection frame 3 are connected by a metal shaped flexible hose 4, the position of the arc-shaped cover 2 can be flexibly adjusted to avoid interference with welding operations under different working conditions, and to make the opening of the arc-shaped cover 2 aligned with the direction of metal spatter.

[0031] When the handheld laser welding gun body 1 is used for welding, the external negative pressure pump is activated to generate negative pressure. Under the action of negative pressure, the metal spatter generated during the welding process enters the interior of the arc-shaped cover 2 through the opening on the left side of the arc-shaped cover 2, and is then transported to the collection frame 3 through the metal shaping hose 4. Because the filter cylinder 12 is located inside the collection frame 3 and has multiple mesh openings on its outer wall, the metal spatter is intercepted by the filter cylinder 12 and collected in the collection frame 3, thereby achieving the attraction and collection of metal spatter, effectively preventing spatter from burning the operator and adhering to the surface of the workpiece.

[0032] When it is necessary to clean the collected waste, the drive mechanism drives the movable shaft 6, movable plate 7, and top cover 8 to rotate in the opposite direction. Opening the top cover 8 allows the waste in the collection frame 3 to be poured out. If it is necessary to clean the filter cylinder 12, after opening the top cover 8, loosen the connection between the external thread ring 11 and the internal thread cylinder 13, remove the filter cylinder 12, and reassemble it according to the above installation steps after cleaning. This achieves the purpose of convenient cleaning and maintenance.

[0033] Among them, the structure of the handheld laser welding gun body 1 is a mature existing technology that has been widely recognized and applied.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the drive mechanism includes a drive frame 15 fixedly connected to the front end of the L-shaped plate 5 on the front side. A worm gear 16 is rotatably connected inside the drive frame 15. A worm wheel 17 is meshed with the outer wall of the worm gear 16. A transmission shaft is fixedly connected between the worm wheel 17 and the movable shaft 6. A handle extending to the outer wall of the drive frame 15 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the worm gear 16.

[0035] In this embodiment: rotating the handle of the drive mechanism drives the worm 16 to rotate, and the worm wheel 17 drives the movable shaft 6 to rotate counterclockwise between the two L-shaped plates 5 through the transmission shaft. Since the transmission of the worm 16 and the worm wheel 17 has a self-locking characteristic, it ensures that the movable shaft 6 will not rotate when the handle is not rotated, thereby ensuring that the pressing effect of the top cover 8 on the rectangular sealing ring 9 will not change.

[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the lower end of the top cover 8 is fixedly connected to an internal threaded cylinder 13, and the inner wall of the internal threaded cylinder 13 is threadedly connected to an external threaded ring 11. The filter cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the external threaded ring 11.

[0037] In this embodiment, the filter cylinder 12 is threadedly connected to the internal thread cylinder 13 via the external threaded ring 11 at the upper end. After tightening, the filter cylinder 12 is fixedly installed. When disassembling, the filter cylinder 12 can be removed by rotating the external threaded ring 11 in the opposite direction.

[0038] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a negative pressure quick-release connector 10 is installed at the upper end of the connecting pipe 14.

[0039] In this embodiment, the negative pressure quick-release connector 10 at the upper end of the connecting pipe 14 can be quickly connected to the negative pressure pipeline of an external negative pressure pump.

[0040] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the rectangular sealing ring 9 is made of fluororubber.

[0041] In this embodiment: the rectangular sealing ring 9 is made of fluororubber. By utilizing the high temperature resistance and wear resistance of fluororubber, the reliability of the seal between the collection frame 3 and the top cover 8 is effectively enhanced.

[0042] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a fixing block 18 is fixedly connected between the collection frame 3 and the handheld laser welding gun body 1.

[0043] In this embodiment: by setting the fixing block 18, the collection frame 3 is stably installed on the handheld laser welding gun body 1.

[0044] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the filter cylinder 12 is installed and fixed. The external threaded ring 11 connected to the filter cylinder 12 is screwed into the internal threaded cylinder 13, so that the external threaded ring 11 is tightly abutted against the lower end face of the top cover 8, thereby completing the installation of the filter cylinder 12.

[0045] Then, the handle of the drive mechanism is turned, which drives the worm gear 16 to rotate. The worm wheel 17 drives the movable shaft 6 to rotate counterclockwise between the two L-shaped plates 5 through the transmission shaft. The movable shaft 6 then drives the movable plate 7 to rotate, causing the top cover 8 to flip downward. When the top cover 8 rotates to the horizontal position, its lower end abuts tightly against the rectangular sealing ring 9, achieving a seal between the collection frame 3 and the top cover 8.

[0046] Next, connect the negative pressure quick-release connector 10 installed at the upper end of the connecting pipe 14 to the negative pressure pipeline of the external negative pressure pump to complete the docking of the negative pressure system. Since the arc-shaped cover 2 and the collection frame 3 are connected by a metal shaped flexible hose 4, the position of the arc-shaped cover 2 can be flexibly adjusted to avoid interference with welding operations under different working conditions, and to make the opening of the arc-shaped cover 2 aligned with the direction of metal spatter.

[0047] When the handheld laser welding gun body 1 is used for welding, the external negative pressure pump is activated to generate negative pressure. Under the action of negative pressure, the metal spatter generated during the welding process enters the interior of the arc-shaped cover 2 through the opening on the left side of the arc-shaped cover 2, and is then transported to the collection frame 3 through the metal shaping hose 4. Because the filter cylinder 12 is located inside the collection frame 3 and has multiple mesh openings on its outer wall, the metal spatter is intercepted by the filter cylinder 12 and collected in the collection frame 3, thereby achieving the attraction and collection of metal spatter, effectively preventing spatter from burning the operator and adhering to the surface of the workpiece.

[0048] When it is necessary to clean the collected waste, turn the handle at the upper end of the worm gear 16 in the opposite direction. This will drive the movable shaft 6, movable plate 7, and top cover 8 to rotate in the opposite direction via the drive mechanism. Opening the top cover 8 will allow the waste to be poured out of the collection frame 3. If it is necessary to clean the filter cylinder 12, after opening the top cover 8, loosen the connection between the external threaded ring 11 and the internal threaded cylinder 13, remove the filter cylinder 12, and reassemble it according to the installation steps described above after cleaning. This facilitates cleaning and maintenance.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0050] However, the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, any substitution of equivalent components or equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of protection of this utility model should still fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
