Because a gap is formed between the outer shell 101 and the inner shell 102, an interlayer space 103 is formed between the outer shell 101 and the inner shell 102, the interlayer space 103 entirely covers the outer surface of the inner shell 102, and the interlayer space 103 is an integral cooling part. The cooling gas supplied from the first gas inlet section to the sandwiched space 103 fills the entire sandwiched space 103, so that the cooling gas is entirely coated on the outer surface of the inner casing 102.
The heat dissipated by the optical module (including the laser output head assembly, the collimating mirror module, the reflector module, the focusing mirror module and the protection mirror module) arranged in the inner shell 102 is transferred to the inner shell 102 in a heat conduction manner, so that the heat is taken away by the cooling gas coated on the outer surface of the inner shell 102, and the purpose of integral cooling is realized. Since the cooling gas entirely covers the outer surface of the inner housing 102, the cooling gas can be sufficiently contacted with the outer surface of the inner housing 102, and the cooling effect and the cooling efficiency of the entire cooling part are improved.
As shown in fig. 4, since the optical lenses of the protection lens module 31, the focusing lens module 32 and the collimating lens module are all mounted in the base 1 through the movable mounting member 35, the movable mounting member 35 is provided with cooling channels 351 arranged around the periphery of the optical lenses, the cooling channels 351 form optical lens cooling portions, and the two ends of the cooling channels 351 are respectively provided with the butt holes 352.
In the assembled state, the movable mounting part 35 blocks the interlayer space 103 of the entire cooling part, leaving only the docking hole 352 in communication with the interlayer space 103. When the cooling air in the integral cooling part flows through the movable mounting member 35, the cooling air flows into the cooling channel 351 through the butt hole 352 and then flows back into the integral cooling part from the other butt hole 352, so that the cooling air bypasses the periphery of the optical lens along the cooling channel 351 to take away the heat transferred to the movable mounting member 35 by the optical lens, and the optical lens is cooled again, and the purpose of sufficiently cooling the optical lens is achieved.
Referring to fig. 3 and 6, the first output section is disposed in front of the protective lens module 31, the first output section is provided with a gas wall generator 60, the gas wall generator 60 includes a plurality of gas outlet channels 61 arranged at the periphery of the light passage at intervals, the plurality of gas outlet channels 61 of each gas wall generator 60 are all disposed to be inclined from the periphery to the axis of the light passage and communicated with the light passage, the inclined angles of the gas outlet channels 61 of the same gas wall generator 60 are the same, and the inclined angle is defined as the included angle between the extension line of the axis of the gas outlet channel 61 and the axis of the light passage.
When cooling gas passes through first output section, a plurality of gas outlet channels 61 through gas wall generator 60 shunt and flow into the inner channel of nozzle subassembly 2, because every gas outlet channel 61 of same gas wall generator 60 is the slope setting and inclination is the same, the air current that flows out from every gas outlet channel 61 can assemble and intersect in same focus with same inclination, and form annular gas wall 10 in focus the place ahead, this gas wall 10 can block the smoke and dust that the inner channel from nozzle subassembly 2 got into, granule such as splash gets into the inner chamber of base 1, play good guard action to the protective glass of protective glass module 31.
One or more air wall generators can be arranged according to actual conditions, each air wall generator correspondingly generates one air wall, and the one or more air walls are generated by adjusting the inclination angles of the air outlet channels of different air wall generators. When the first output section is provided with a plurality of air wall generators, the plurality of air wall generators are arranged in an order in which the inner air wall generators are surrounded by the outer air wall generators.
The plurality of air wall generators can generate the same air wall and also can correspondingly generate a plurality of air walls, when the plurality of air wall generators generate the same air wall, the cooling air flowing out of the air outlet channels of the plurality of air wall generators is converged and intersected at the same focus, therefore, the inclination angles of the air outlet channels of the plurality of air wall generators are sequentially decreased from outside to inside, and the extension lines of the axes of the air outlet channels of the plurality of air wall generators are intersected at the same point. When a plurality of air wall generators correspondingly generate a plurality of air walls, the cooling air flowing out of the air outlet channels of different air wall generators is converged and intersected at different focuses. Therefore, the inclination angles of the air outlet channels of the air wall generators are equal or gradually increased from outside to inside, and the closer the air wall generator is to the axis of the light passing channel, the closer the focal point of the extension line of the air outlet channel axis is to the first output section.
For example, as shown in fig. 7 or fig. 8, the first output section is provided with two air wall generators, named as a first air wall generator 601 and a second air wall generator 602, respectively, and the first air wall generator 601 is wrapped outside the second air wall generator 602. At this time, if two air wall generators are to generate the same air wall, the inclination angle of the air outlet channel of the second air wall generator 602 is smaller than that of the air outlet channel of the first air wall generator 601, so that after the inclination angles of the air outlet channels of the first air wall generator and the second air wall generator are calculated, it is possible to realize that the extension lines of the air outlet channels of the first air wall generator 601 and the second air wall generator 602 intersect at the same focus, so that the air flows flowing out of the air outlet channels of the first air wall generator 601 and the second air wall generator 602 converge at the same focus, and form an air wall in front of the focus.
Accordingly, if it is desired to realize that two air wall generators generate two different air walls, the inclination angle of the outlet channel of the second air wall generator 602 is equal to or greater than the inclination angle of the outlet channel of the first air wall generator 601. Thus, after the inclination angles of the outlet channels of the first air wall generator 601 and the second air wall generator 602 are calculated, it is possible to achieve that the outlet channel axis extension lines of the first air wall generator 601 and the second air wall generator 602 intersect at different focuses, and the focus of the outlet channel axis extension line of the second air wall generator 602 is closer to the first output section than the focus of the outlet channel axis extension line of the first air wall generator 601, so that the air flows from the outlet channels of the first air wall generator 601 and the second air wall generator 602 converge at two different focuses and intersect, and respectively form an air wall in front of the two focuses.
The principle of generating different numbers of air walls by other numbers of air wall generators is the same as the principle of the above embodiment of generating air walls for two air wall generators, and the description thereof is omitted.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 and 6, an air wall ring 6 is disposed in front of the protective lens module 31, the air wall ring 6 is hermetically installed in the base 1, and the air wall ring 6 includes a body 62, a light hole 63, an air storage portion 64, and a plurality of air outlets 61 arranged at intervals around the axis of the light hole 63.

Or, the air wall ring can be not provided with an annular groove, at the moment, the air wall ring is of a tubular structure, the outer diameter of the air wall ring is smaller than the inner diameter of the inner shell of the base, so that the air wall ring, the inner wall of the inner shell and the front end face of the gun barrel seat rear end face protective mirror module are sealed to form an air storage chamber, and the air storage chamber is communicated with the light through hole through an air outlet channel of the air wall generator.
The first output section comprises a second air inlet 1021, an air storage chamber and an air wall generator 60, wherein the second air inlet 1021 is communicated with the interlayer space 103 of the integral cooling part so as to introduce cooling air in the integral cooling part into the air storage chamber, and the cooling air flows out of the light through hole 63 through an air outlet channel 61 of the air wall generator 60 so as to form an air wall in the internal channel.
One or more air wall generators may be provided on the air wall ring 6 to create one or more air walls within the internal passageway, and the air outlet channels of the air wall generators may be angled holes provided in the bottom wall of the annular recess or angled holes provided in the end wall at the forward end of the annular recess. Alternatively, when the air wall ring is not provided with the annular groove, the air outlet channel of the air wall generator can be an inclined hole arranged on the side wall of the air wall ring. The arrangement of the inclined holes of the two air wall rings is the same as the arrangement of the air outlet channels of the air wall generator described in the above embodiments, and details thereof are omitted here.
In addition, the installation position department of each optical module still is equipped with temperature sensor, and temperature sensor is used for the operating temperature of real-time monitoring optical module, and when monitoring the temperature anomaly, in time feeds back unusual information, as unusual alarm signal to remind the operator to do and stop using.
Referring to fig. 3 and 6, the protection gas circuit 52 includes a second gas inlet section, a conveying section 521, and an input section, wherein the second gas inlet section is located at the front end of the protection gas circuit, the input section is located at the tail end of the protection gas circuit, and the second gas inlet section is used for being connected to an external gas source pipeline so as to introduce gas into the protection gas circuit. The second air inlet section can be an air pipe, the rear end of the air pipe is connected with a valve body of an external air source, the second air inlet section can share the same external air source with the first air inlet section, and the external air source is respectively connected with the first air inlet section and the second air inlet section through a three-way valve. The rear end of carrying the section is equipped with the third air inlet, and the front end of second air inlet section is connected with the third air inlet, and the third air inlet can be the second through-hole of seting up on the lateral wall of the shell body 101 rear end of base 1, and this second through-hole runs through the lateral wall of shell body 101 and carries section 521 intercommunication, and the second air inlet section is connected with the second through-hole through sealed adapter to realize the second air inlet section and carry the purpose that the section is connected.
The conveying section 521 may be an air conveying channel formed on the side wall of the outer casing 101 from the back to the front along the axis, or may be a section of pipeline disposed outside the side wall of the outer casing 101. The gas transmission channel is arranged on the side wall of the outer shell 101, so that the structure of a gas protection channel can be simplified, and the gas transmission channel has better gas tightness, so that the appearance of the laser welding gun is more attractive.
The input section has one end connected to the delivery section 521 and the other end communicating with the internal passage 24 of the nozzle assembly 2, and can introduce the shielding gas of the delivery section into the internal passage 24 of the nozzle assembly 2.
Specifically, the nozzle assembly 2 includes a nozzle 23, a barrel 22 and a barrel seat 21 coaxially connected in sequence, and the nozzle 23, the barrel 22 and the barrel seat 21 are all arranged in a hollow structure along an axis, and the hollow parts of the three are communicated to form an internal passage 24 penetrating through the whole nozzle assembly 2. The internal channel 24 can be used for the gas output by the gas conveying gas path system to pass through, and is sprayed out by the nozzle 23 to act on the welded object, meanwhile, the internal channel 24 can also be used for the laser beam output by the optical lens assembly to pass through, and is sprayed out by the nozzle to act on the welded object.
As shown in fig. 6 and 9, at least one air inlet channel 25 is disposed on the gun barrel seat 21, one end of the air inlet channel 25 is communicated with the conveying section 521, the other end of the air inlet channel 25 is communicated with the internal channel 24, and the input section includes the air inlet channel 25.
In order to effectively prevent particles such as smoke, splashes and the like outside the welding gun from entering the inner cavity of the base 1 along the inner channel to contaminate the optical lens and cause the lens to be burnt out, the air inlet channel 25 is obliquely arranged from the outer end of the gun barrel base 21 to the axis. When the shielding gas introduced from the conveying section 521 enters the internal channel 24 through the inclined inlet channel 25, the flow direction is changed by the inlet channel 25, so that the gas flow enters the internal channel 24 and then flows toward the nozzle 23 in a spiral manner.
Because protective gas is the spiral form and flows in interior passageway 24, the flow resistance that receives the inner wall to bring is less in interior passageway 24, make the air current no matter can both obtain comparatively unanimous flow velocity in interior passageway 24's edge or center department, guarantee that the whole constant speed of air current flows toward nozzle 23 department, thereby increased the smoke and dust, the resistance that granules such as splash removed along interior passageway 24 toward optical lens subassembly direction, effectively prevent the smoke and dust, granule such as splash and the lens contact of optical lens subassembly, in order to reach and prevent that optical lens from being contaminated, lead to the purpose that the lens is burnt out. In addition, the protective gas flowing through the nozzle 23 can prevent the high temperature at the nozzle 23 from continuously transmitting to the rear end of the nozzle assembly 2, and has a cooling effect on the nozzle assembly 2.
The inclined form of the air inlet 25 may be a plane inclination or a three-dimensional space inclination. When the inlet channel 25 is inclined in a plane, the axis of the inlet channel 25 is coplanar with the axis of the internal passage 24, and after the cooling gas flows into the internal passage 24 through the inlet channel 25, the cooling gas stirs the gas flow in the internal passage 24 by multiple impacts of the cooling gas on the inner wall of the internal passage 24, so that the gas flow gradually forms a spiral shape in the internal passage 24.
As shown in fig. 11, when the air intake duct 25 is inclined in a three-dimensional space, an XYZ three-dimensional space coordinate system is established with the center of the hollow portion of the barrel base 21 as a base point, in which the X axis coincides with the axis of the barrel base 21, so that the inclination angle of the air intake duct 25 can be expressed more intuitively. Specifically, the extension line of the axis of the air inlet channel 25, the XY plane, the YZ plane and the XZ plane are all provided with included angles which are acute angles, so that the protective gas flowing into the internal channel 24 from the air inlet channel 25 can be ensured to obtain an initial direction inclined in an XYZ three-dimensional space coordinate system, and when the protective gas enters the internal channel 24 from the air inlet channel 25, the protective gas has a component velocity in the tangential direction of the internal channel. The velocity division facilitates the formation of a helical pattern in the interior channel 24, so that the shielding gas can obtain a helical pattern after entering the interior channel 24, thereby achieving the purpose of forming a helical pattern flow in the interior channel 24.
When the air intake duct 25 is provided in plurality, the air intake ducts 25 are provided at intervals along the outer periphery of the barrel base 21. Each of the air-intake ducts 25 may be set to the same inclined posture, ensuring that the inclination angle of each air-intake duct 25 is the same, so that the air flowing from each air-intake duct 25 into the internal passage 24 obtains the same initial direction. The benefit that sets up like this is, can guarantee that the protective gas that flows into inner channel 24 from every intake duct 24 all forms the air current of a same spiral form, because the spiral form of every air current is the same, the step is unanimous, can not disturb each other, has guaranteed that the spiral air current of the interior flow of inner channel 24 is more stable even, does not have turbulent air current to disturb, thereby can obtain one to granule more effective prevention effect such as smoke and dust, splash.
When the inlet channel is plane-inclined, the angle between the axis of the inlet channel and the axis of the internal channel can be selected in the range of 20 ° to 80 °. For example, the angle between the axis of the inlet and the axis of the internal passage may be set to 30 °, 45 ° or 60 °, and the flow of the shielding gas into the internal passage using these angles as the initial direction may obtain a better spiral shape of the gas flow.
As shown in fig. 11, when the air inlet duct 25 is inclined in space, in the XYZ spatial coordinate system, the included angle between the air inlet duct 25 and the XY plane, the included angle between the air inlet duct 25 and the XZ plane, and the included angle between the air inlet duct 25 and the YZ plane are equal, and the included angle between the air inlet duct 25 and the three planes can be selected from the range of 20 ° to 80 °. For example, the angles between the inlet duct 25 and the XY plane, the XZ plane, and the YZ plane may be set to 30 °, 45 °, or 60 °, and the gas flowing into the internal passage 24 may be set to these angles as the initial direction, thereby obtaining a better spiral gas flow.
Of course, the air inlet channel on the gun barrel base 21 may also be set to be spiral shape around the axis of the internal channel, so that the shielding gas can obtain a pre-spiral shape in the air inlet channel, and after the shielding gas flows into the internal channel from the air inlet channel, the gas retains the initial shape of the pre-spiral shape in the air inlet channel, so that the shielding gas can more easily obtain the spiral airflow in the internal channel, thereby achieving the purpose of forming the spiral shape flow in the internal channel by the shielding gas.
Or, the air inlet channel on the gun barrel base can be also arranged in an arc shape (such as an arc or an elliptic arc), and when the protective gas enters the internal channel from the air inlet channel, the tangential direction of the internal channel has a component velocity which is beneficial to forming a spiral shape in the internal channel, so that the protective gas can obtain the spiral shape after entering the internal channel, and the purpose that the protective gas forms the spiral shape in the internal channel to flow is achieved.
Referring to fig. 9 and 10, the hollow portion of the barrel base 21 is configured as a first passage 210, the hollow portion of the barrel 22 is configured as a second passage 220, the hollow portion of the nozzle 23 is configured as a third passage 230, and the first passage 210, the second passage 220 and the third passage 230 are sequentially communicated to form a complete internal passage 24. The shielding gas in the shielding gas path flows into the first path 210 through the gas inlet 25, a spiral gas flow 20 starts to form in the first path 210, and the spiral gas flow 20 gradually flows through the second path 220 and the third path 230, and finally flows out from the third path 230.
The second passage 20 includes an acceleration chamber 221 and a buffer chamber 222, the acceleration chamber 221 is provided with a large end and a small end, the cross section of the acceleration chamber 221 is gradually reduced from the large end to the small end, the cross section of the buffer chamber 222 is larger than that of the small end of the acceleration chamber 221, and the cross section is defined as a section perpendicular to the axis of the acceleration chamber 221. The cross section of the accelerating cavity 221 may be circular, oval, or polygonal such as rectangular, square, trapezoid, etc. The cross-section of the buffer chamber 222 may be circular, oval, or polygonal such as rectangular, square, trapezoidal, etc.
For example, as shown in fig. 10, the second passage 220 includes an acceleration chamber 221 having a conical shape and a buffer chamber 222 having a cylindrical shape, a large end of the acceleration chamber 221 communicates with the first passage 210, a small end of the acceleration chamber 221 communicates with a rear end of the buffer chamber 222, a diameter of the buffer chamber 222 is larger than a diameter of the small end of the acceleration chamber 221, a front end of the buffer chamber 222 communicates with the third passage 230, and a diameter of the buffer chamber 222 is larger than a diameter of the third passage 230.
When the spiral airflow flows through the second passage 220, the spiral airflow firstly flows from the large end of the acceleration cavity 221 to the small end, and because the acceleration cavity 221 is conical, the spiral airflow is continuously accelerated in the flowing process of the small end, the speed is faster and faster, and the acceleration purpose is to effectively block particles such as smoke dust and splashes from entering the acceleration cavity 221. The accelerated spiral airflow finally flows into the buffer cavity 222 from the small end of the acceleration cavity 221, and since the diameter of the buffer cavity 222 is larger than that of the small end of the acceleration cavity 221, after the spiral airflow enters the buffer cavity 222, the flow speed is suddenly reduced, and the flow form is also changed, so that the form of the spiral airflow is eliminated in the buffer cavity 222, and the airflow gradually forms a straight flow form when flowing forwards in the buffer cavity 222. Then, the airflow flows forward to enter the third passage 230, and because the diameter of the third passage 230 is smaller than that of the buffer cavity 222, the airflow is accelerated again when flowing through the third passage 230, the linear flow of the airflow is further stabilized, and the linear airflow finally flows out of the nozzle 23 from the front end of the third passage 230 to act on the surface of the workpiece to be welded.
The gas flow rate of the internal channel 24 is 15-20L/min, and below this flow rate range, the gas flow rate in the internal channel 24 cannot meet the requirement, particles such as smoke dust and spatter cannot be better blocked, and particles such as smoke dust and spatter generated on the surface of a workpiece during welding cannot be quickly blown off, and above this flow rate range, the cost of the gas source will be increased.
The length of the buffer cavity 222 is 1.2-1.5 times of the diameter of the buffer cavity, so that a better air flow buffering effect can be achieved, the speed of the air flow in the buffer cavity 222 can be reduced within an ideal range required, a better effect of blocking particulate matters such as smoke dust and splashed materials can be obtained, and meanwhile, the spiral air flow form can be completely changed in the buffer cavity 222.
The taper of the accelerating cavity 221 is 3-5 degrees, and the length of the accelerating cavity 221 is 2.5-3 times of the length of the buffer cavity 222, so that a better accelerating effect can be obtained in a limited volume space structure, the airflow reaches a better speed range after being accelerated by the accelerating cavity 221, the airflow obtains a better blocking effect on particles such as smoke dust and splashes, the airflow obtains a better initial speed range after being decelerated by the buffer cavity 222, and the third passage 230 is favorable for accelerating the airflow again, and the particles such as smoke dust and splashes generated on the surface of a workpiece during welding can be blown off quickly after being sprayed out from the nozzle 23.
In summary, the air flow flowing into the internal channel 24 of the nozzle assembly 2 from the shielding gas channel first forms the spiral air flow 20 in the first passage 210 under the action of the inclined air inlet channel 25, the spiral air flow 20 enters the second passage 220, is accelerated by the acceleration cavity 221, and then enters the buffer cavity 222, the speed of the spiral air flow in the buffer cavity 222 is reduced, the flow form is also changed, and gradually goes forward to form a straight line shape, and then the air flow is accelerated again when flowing through the third passage 230 to form a stable straight line flowing air flow, and finally flows out of the nozzle from the front end of the third passage 230 to act on the surface of the workpiece to be welded.
Because the air current is the biggest from the speed of air current when nozzle 23 blowout because the air current is with higher speed through third passageway 230 back for the air current, the velocity of flow of air current is the fastest, makes the air current blow off particulate matters such as smoke and dust, splash that produce when welding fast, therefore most particulate matters such as smoke and dust, splash are blockked outside the nozzle, can't enter into in the third passageway 230, thereby form first protection. The remaining particulate matters such as smoke, splashes and the like enter the second passage 220, the speed of the particulate matters such as smoke, splashes and the like is synchronously reduced along with the airflow under the action of the buffer cavity 222, and the airflow speed at the small end of the acceleration cavity 221 is suddenly increased at the rear end of the buffer cavity 222, so that the remaining particulate matters such as smoke, splashes and the like are blocked in the buffer cavity 222 to form a second protection. Moreover, the spiral airflow in the first passage 210 and the accelerating cavity 221 can also effectively intrude particulate matters such as smoke dust and splashes into the rear end of the first passage 210 to form a third protection, and under the combined action of the three protections, the optical lenses of the optical lens assembly are protected layer by layer, so that the phenomenon that the optical lenses are polluted is effectively avoided, and the service life of the optical lenses is prolonged.
Although the spiral air flow can block the invasion of particles such as smoke dust and splashes in the internal channel, if the air flow is sprayed out of the nozzle in a spiral form and acts on the surface of the workpiece to be welded, due to the shape and the characteristics of the spiral air flow, the air flow acting on the surface of the workpiece to be welded can not completely or uniformly cover the processing area of the laser spot, so that the air can not be blocked from contacting the welding surface of the workpiece to be welded to a great extent, and the welding surface material is oxidized. Therefore, the spiral airflow must be changed to form a uniform linear airflow and then ejected from the nozzle, so as to ensure that the airflow acts on the surface of the workpiece to be welded and completely cover the processing area of the laser spot.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide the buffer chamber 222 at the front section of the second passage 220, because the spiral airflow entering the buffer chamber 222 changes the flow pattern of the airflow from the spiral pattern to a straight flow by the action of the buffer chamber 222. Then, the air flow is accelerated again when flowing through the third passage 230 to form a stable straight-line flowing air flow, so that the air flow is ejected from the nozzle 23 in a straight-line shape and acts on the surface of the workpiece to be welded, the straight-line air flow can completely and uniformly cover the processing area of the laser spot, oxygen in the air is effectively prevented from contacting the welding surface of the workpiece to be welded, and the phenomena of material surface oxidation and blackening caused by welding can be effectively avoided.
Or, the air inlet channel on the gun barrel seat is set to be a straight-through type, namely, the air inlet channel is set to be a straight-line type along the radial direction of the gun barrel seat, at the moment, when the protective gas input from the third conveying section flows into the internal channel through the air inlet channel, the air flow in a spiral form cannot be generated in the internal channel, but flows forwards in a straight-line form, so that the air flow is sprayed out from the nozzle in a straight-line form and acts on the surface of the workpiece to be welded, the air flow in the straight-line form can completely and uniformly cover the processing area of the laser light spot, the oxygen in the air is effectively prevented from contacting the welding surface of the workpiece to be welded, and the phenomena of oxidation and blackening of the material surface caused by welding and the like can be effectively avoided.
As shown in fig. 10, the nozzle 23, the barrel 22 and the barrel holder 21 of the nozzle assembly 2 are preferably separately connected to each other, so that the nozzle 23, the barrel 22 and the barrel holder 21 can be replaced and maintained independently, but they may be integrally provided. The gun tube base 21 includes a base 211 and a connecting tube 212, the first passage 210 axially penetrates through the base 211 and the connecting tube 212, and the air inlet 25 is disposed on the base 21 and is communicated with the first passage 210. The air inlet channel 25 may penetrate from the end surface of the seat body 21 to communicate with the first passage 210, so as to be connected with the protection air channel conveniently, and the layout structure of the protection air channel may be simplified. The air inlet passage may communicate with the first passage 210 through the side wall of the seat body 21. When there are a plurality of air inlets 25, the plurality of air inlets 25 are disposed around the periphery of the first passage 210, and the seat body 21 is further provided with a flange 26 for connecting with the base 1. The barrel 22 and the nozzle 23 are both tubular structures, and the tubular structures of the barrel 22 and the nozzle 23 respectively form a second passage 220 and a third passage 230. The barrel 22 and the connecting pipe 212 are connected by pipe threads, the nozzle 23 and the barrel 22 are also connected by pipe threads, and if necessary, a sealing ring is arranged at the threaded joint to improve the tightness of the connection between the two.
In addition, in some occasions, when the width of the welding seam of the workpiece to be welded is large, welding wires are required to be added as materials for filling the welding seam to complete welding, and at this time, the wire feeding assembly 10 needs to be additionally arranged on the laser welding gun to achieve the purpose of automatically feeding the welding wires, so that the wire feeding accuracy and the welding efficiency are improved.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 12, the wire feeding assembly 10 includes a wire nozzle 101, a butt joint pipe 102 and a wire feeding pipe 103, which are connected in sequence, the butt joint pipe 102 is detachably connected to the nozzle assembly 2 through a fixing and adjusting device 104, and the wire feeding pipe 103 is detachably connected to the rear end of the outer housing through a connecting piece 105, so as to form two fixed connection positions, and reliably connect the wire feeding assembly 10 and the laser welding gun as a whole.
Wherein, the wire outlet of the wire nozzle 101 is aligned with the outlet of the nozzle 23 of the nozzle component 2, so as to realize that the welding wire sent out from the wire nozzle 101 is overlapped with the center of the laser output by the nozzle 23, thereby ensuring that the welding wire is completely positioned in the laser heating area, leading the heating high temperature to fully melt the welding wire, realizing filler welding and improving the welding quality.
