Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of sheet lamination combination welding, in particular to a sheet lamination combination laser welding method and device.
Background
There are a large number of laminated sheet composite structures in the body structures of the transportation industry, sheet metal appearances of general equipment and construction industry, heat management system cooling parts of the energy and power industry and other similar products; in the case of liquid-cooled plate devices, there is generally a requirement for sealing and maintaining pressure, and common materials are aluminum alloy, stainless steel, galvanized steel plate, and the like.
The existing laser welding technology generally cannot meet the conditions of surface quality requirements, no leakage of continuous welding seams and the like, so that the laser welding technology is difficult to obtain large-scale application, and the improvement of production efficiency and the reduction of manufacturing cost cannot be realized. Especially, the aluminum alloy lamination combined laser welding of the cooling plate of the new energy automobile faces the problems of weld holes, cracks, easy penetration of a bottom plate of a thin plate and the like, and can not meet the use requirements of pressure maintaining sealing, contact surface flattening and the like of products.
Besides the challenges to the laser welding process itself required by continuous sealing and pressure maintaining, the thin-plate liquid cooling plate product has the following characteristics: 1. the total length of the welding lines is large, the welding lines of some products can reach tens of meters, heat accumulation is easy to form in the welding process, and the products are easy to generate larger deformation after welding; 2. the flatness requirement of the contact surface is high, and the control requirement of partial products on weld seam surplus height and welding splashing is strict. The laser welding process can generate smoke dust, and the welding smoke dust can prevent laser beam energy from acting on the surface of a material to a certain extent, so that the welding process is unstable and welding splashing is caused; when the material is galvanized steel sheet, the welding fumes formed by the low boiling point zinc coating will cause more severe energy obstruction and zinc vapour will also cause the weld puddle to produce a lot of spatter. In addition, materials such as aluminum alloy and stainless steel are prone to splash during high-power laser welding and beam swing welding. Uneven oil stains on the material can also cause welding fume mutation, and cause welding quality defects.
Therefore, the laser welding of the laminated sheet composite product has the technical problem of weld quality and the appearance and functional requirements of product application, and the prior art cannot simultaneously or independently meet the requirements. Welding fume has adverse effects on weld quality and product quality, which is a place neglected in the prior art.
In the prior art, the effect on welding fumes is generally considered on the production environment, such as the fume removal protection device described in document CN114054987a, for filtering the fumes, protecting the working environment; in addition, there are concerns about the effect of the first air nozzle on the laser head on the butt joint optics, such as described in document CN109153096B, to remove fumes and splatter rising from the shielding gas by high-velocity air.

6. The suction or shielding gas is provided through the welding device, no additional requirement is provided for the gas path of the laser welding system, the implementation of a pipeline or a gas external pipeline carried by a laser head in the prior art (such as CN 109153096B) is not needed, the possible accessibility problem is avoided, and the clamping mechanism has wide applicability.
7. The cooling system is connected through the internal cavity of the welding device, so that the rapid diffusion of the energy of the laser beam absorbed by the material in the welding process is realized, the accumulation of the welding laser energy is avoided, and the deformation of the welding product caused by the accumulation of heat in the conventional technology is restrained. By cooling both sides of the weld joint up and down, a better effect can be obtained than in the conventional manner of single-side cooling, cooling gas cooling, and the like. For materials whose tissue is susceptible to temperature gradients, the adverse effects of the welding thermal cycle can be ameliorated by heating the medium. When the distance D1 between the blank areas of the pressing block is smaller, for example, 2 times of the width W1 of the welding line on the upper surface, splash can be prevented from adhering to the surface of the material.

the connecting module is arranged in the fixing module, is communicated with the absorbing module, is externally connected with a protective gas source and is used for applying protective gas to the welding area, so that the welding area is prevented from being influenced by air in the welding line forming process;
the cavity is arranged in the fixed module and is externally connected with a cooling system or a heating system so that cooling or heating medium circularly flows in the cavity in the welding process.
4. The laser welding device according to claim 3, further comprising a stopper disposed at a junction of the connection module and the absorption module and connected to the control unit;
the control unit controls the stop block and the laser output module to enable the absorption module to be opened in advance before the laser beam reaches the area to be welded and to be closed after the laser beam leaves the area to be welded.
