[ dust collector 400]
Referring to fig. 1, 8 to 15, in some embodiments, the dust removing device 400 is disposed below the welding device 300, the dust removing device 400 is mounted on the bracket 301 through the connection plate 401, and a third guide rail 402 is further disposed on the connection plate 401, the dust removing device 400 is mounted on the connection plate 401 through the third guide rail 402, and the dust removing device 400 can move on the third guide rail 402 along a third direction, so that the dust removing device 400 is matched with the welding position 603 of the battery 600 to accurately perform air blowing dust removal on the welding position 603. The dust removing device 400 includes a body 410, the body 410 having a cavity 411 for passing laser light therethrough, a gas hole 412 for blowing gas toward a obliquely lower direction based on a horizontal plane being provided on the body 410 at a position below the inside of the cavity 411, and a gas suction hole 413 for sucking gas toward an obliquely upper direction based on a horizontal plane being provided on the body 410 at a position above the inside of the cavity 411.
During laser welding of the housing 601 and the top cover 602, a large amount of soot is generated near the welding site 603, and the soot may form defects such as dust pollution and slag at the welding site. Because smoke and dust temperature is higher and the adhesion is very strong, if not in time get rid of the smoke and dust, less smoke and dust granule in the smoke and dust can adhere to battery anchor clamps or battery 600, causes the pollution to battery 600, and then influences the quality of battery 600, and great smoke and dust granule then can glue to battery anchor clamps and be difficult to clear away, influences welding precision, and then also can influence the quality of battery 600. Therefore, when the case 601 and the top cover 602 are laser welded, the welding position 603 needs to be protected by blowing, so that on one hand, oxidation of a welding seam can be avoided, on the other hand, generated smoke dust can be taken away, and welding quality and performance of the battery 600 are ensured.
In the laser welding dust removing apparatus 400 of the prior art, the air vent 412 is generally disposed perpendicular to the welding seam, and the shielding gas blown out from the air vent 412 cannot completely cover the welding position 603, so that a better air-blowing protecting effect cannot be achieved. And because the protective cover 700 without the top cover 602 or the edge of the protective cover 700 is in a right-angle structure, dead angles exist in the protective gas diversion cavity, and smoke dust or dust generated in the welding process is easy to accumulate in the diversion cavity, so that the dust is dissipated and adsorbed around the welding position 603, and the welding quality is affected.
Therefore, in order to make the protection gas that blows out can cover welding position 603 completely, reach better protection effect of blowing, and there is not the dead angle in the water conservancy diversion intracavity, the dust is difficult to accumulate in the water conservancy diversion intracavity, reduces the dust loss, improves welding quality, and the welding system of this embodiment still includes dust collector 400. The dust removing device 400 includes a body 410, the body 410 has a cavity 411 for passing laser, the cavity 411 is located at the center of the inside of the body 410, and is a cavity penetrating up and down, the laser can pass through the cavity 411 of the body 410 to weld the housing 601 and the top cover 602. The body 410 is provided with a gas hole 412 for blowing gas toward the obliquely lower side based on the horizontal plane at a position below the inside of the cavity 411, and the body 410 is provided with a gas hole 413 for sucking gas toward the obliquely upper side based on the horizontal plane at a position above the inside of the cavity 411. Specifically, during the welding process, shielding gas is blown out from the gas vent 412 to the welding site 603 to form a shielding gas layer at the welding site 603 to isolate the welding site 603 from air and prevent oxidation of the welding site. The air suction holes 413 can suck air around the axis of the cavity 411, and when dust generated in the welding process passes through the air suction holes 413, the dust can be timely sucked away by the air suction holes 413, so that the dust is prevented from being dissipated into the environment or attached to the battery 600 to influence the quality of the battery 600.
Further, in order to protect the electrode post of the battery 600 from being contaminated by welding slag during the laser welding process, and to guide the shielding gas and dust at the same time, the shielding gas mixed with dust is guided to the air suction hole 413, and the welding system of the present embodiment further includes a protection cover 700. The protection cover 700 is mounted above the top cover 602 of the battery 600, and the protection cover 700 is accommodated in the cavity 411 in a top view, wherein a side edge of the protection cover 700 is arc-shaped. In order to ensure that there is no dead angle of suction, the side edges of the protection cover 700 are provided in an arc shape, and the dust and the shielding gas are guided so that the shielding gas and the entrained dust blown out from the gas blowing hole 412 can be sucked away by the gas suction hole 413 in a path of arc transition. The welding quality is ensured by preventing dust from being accumulated at the side edge of the protection cover 700 to cause the dust to escape into the environment and to be attached to the welding position 603 of the housing 601 and the top cover 602, thereby ensuring the performance of the battery 600.
In addition, the air blowing hole 412 is arranged below the air suction hole 413, so that the air blowing protection effect can be further improved, the contact area between the shielding gas and the welding position 603 is increased, and meanwhile, dust can be blown upwards by the shielding gas, so that the dust can be sucked away by the air suction hole 413 more easily, the dust is prevented from being deposited below under the action of gravity, the welding position 603 of the battery 600 is polluted, and the welding quality is affected.
The dust collector 400 can make the protection gas that blows out cover welding position 603 completely, reaches better protection effect of blowing, and does not have the dead angle in the water conservancy diversion intracavity, and the dust is difficult to accumulate in the water conservancy diversion intracavity, reduces the dust loss, improves welding quality. Specifically, the shielding gas is blown out from the blowing hole 412 obliquely downward based on the horizontal plane to the welding position 603 so that the weld between the housing 601 and the top cover 602 is in a state of being shielded by the shielding gas, while dust generated during the laser welding is blown up, and the suction hole 413 sucks out the blown dust and the shielding gas. Because the air hole 412 is arranged obliquely downward based on the horizontal plane, the blown protection air can completely cover the welding position 603, and a better air blowing protection effect is achieved. And because the side edge of the protective cover 700 is arc-shaped, no dead angle exists in the moving path of dust, dust is not easy to accumulate on the side edge of the protective cover 700, the dust collection rate is improved, the dust dissipation can be reduced, and the welding quality is improved.
Referring to fig. 9 and 10, in some embodiments, the gas vent 412 is annular and is disposed about the axis of the cavity 411. Specifically, the gas blowing hole 412 may be provided in a ring shape, and the ring-shaped gas blowing hole 412 may be matched with the welding position 603 of the housing 601 and the top cover 602, so that the area of the shielding gas covering the welding position 603 is increased, and a better gas flow out effect is ensured.
Further, as for the shape of the cavity 411, it may be specifically set according to the shape of the battery 600. For example, when the battery 600 is a square aluminum case battery 600, the cavity 411 may be provided in a rounded rectangular shape so that the shape of the cavity 411 matches the shape of the square aluminum case battery 600. Therefore, when the square aluminum-shell battery 600 is inserted into the cavity 411, the distance between the welding position 603 of the square aluminum-shell battery 600 and the inner wall of the cavity 411 is smaller, so that the casing 601 and the top cover 602 are welded under a sufficient protection condition, so as to improve the welding quality and further improve the performance of the battery 600.
In some embodiments, the plurality of blow holes 412 are provided, and the plurality of blow holes 412 are circumferentially distributed in the body 410 along the cavity 411. Specifically, in addition to the above-mentioned configuration of the gas blowing holes 412 being one and the annular surrounding manner of blowing the shielding gas at the welding position 603, a plurality of gas blowing holes 412 may be provided, and the plurality of gas blowing holes 412 are uniformly and alternately disposed in the body 410 along the cavity 411 in a circumferential surrounding manner, so as to ensure that the shielding gas blown out from each gas blowing hole 412 is uniformly distributed at the welding position 603, and ensure the welding quality. It will be appreciated that the blowholes 412 may take other suitable shapes or arrangements, and may be specifically selected according to actual needs, which are not limited herein.
Referring to fig. 11, 12 and 13, in some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the gas blowing holes 412 and the gas suction holes 413 in the third direction is a flared cone with a smaller upper part and a larger lower part. Specifically, the air hole 412 and the air suction hole 413 are both annular, and the cross-sectional shape of the air hole 412 along the third direction is tapered in a flaring shape with a small top and a large bottom, and on the one hand, the air hole 412 is configured to be obliquely downward based on the horizontal plane, so that the air pressure of the shielding gas at the inlet of the air hole 412 can be increased, and the effect of blowing the shielding gas can be improved. On the other hand, the cross section of the gas blowing hole 412 is in a conical shape with a flaring shape with a small upper part and a big lower part along the third direction, so that the flow rate of the shielding gas can be controlled, the energy consumption is saved, the area of the welding seam covered by the shielding gas is increased, and the pressure flow rate of the whole circumference of the battery 600 is uniform.
The design of the blow hole 412 is referred to herein as a "Laval nozzle" configuration. The Laval nozzle is an important component of the thrust chamber, the front half part of the nozzle is contracted from large to small to the middle to a narrow throat, the narrow throat is then expanded from small to large to the bottom of the arrow, and the gas in the arrow body flows into the front half part of the nozzle under high pressure, passes through the narrow throat and then escapes from the rear half part. This structure allows the velocity of the air stream to be varied by varying the spray cross-sectional area. The gas flow in the rocket engine moves backwards through the spray pipe under the pressure of the combustion chamber and enters the first stage of the spray pipe. At this stage, the gas movement follows the principle of "the flow velocity is large at a small section and the flow velocity is small at a large section when the fluid moves in the tube", so that the gas flow is continuously accelerated. When the narrow throat is reached, the flow rate has exceeded the sonic velocity. While transonic fluid does not follow the principle of 'large flow rate at small section and small flow rate at large section' when moving, but rather is contrary, the larger the section, the faster the flow rate. In the second stage, the velocity of the gas flow is further accelerated, thus generating a large thrust. The laval nozzle in effect acts as a "flow rate increaser". In this embodiment, the gas vent 412 is provided in a tapered shape with a flaring shape having a small top and a large bottom, so that the flow rate of the shielding gas can be increased, the effect of blowing the shielding gas is improved, the energy is saved, the area of the shielding gas covering the weld joint can be increased, the pressure flow rate of the whole circumference of the battery 600 is uniform, and the welding quality is further ensured.
Referring to fig. 12 and 13, in some embodiments, an annular air inlet chamber 414 is provided in communication with the air hole 412 at a lower position of the body 410, the annular air inlet chamber 414 being disposed around the axial center of the cavity 411. An annular discharge chamber 415 communicating with the suction hole 413 is provided at an upper position of the body 410, and the annular discharge chamber 415 is provided around the axial center of the cavity 411. Specifically, the annular air inlet cavity 414 is communicated with the air blowing hole 412, the protection air is blown out through the air blowing hole 412 through the annular air inlet cavity 414, the volume of the annular air inlet cavity 414 is larger than that of the air blowing hole 412, the flow rate of the protection air entering the air blowing hole 412 through the annular air inlet cavity 414 can be increased, and the effects of air blowing protection and dust removal are improved. Meanwhile, the area of the shielding gas covering the welding seam can be increased, and the welding quality is improved. The annular air outlet cavity 415 is communicated with the air suction holes 413, dust and protective gas are sucked into the annular air outlet cavity 415 through the air suction holes 413, and then the dust is guided out and collected through the annular air outlet cavity 415, so that the influence of dust dissipation on the environment is avoided.
The air blowing holes 412, the air suction holes 413 and the side edges of the protective cover 700 together define a flow guiding cavity, and the protective gas blown out by the air blowing holes 412 can be uniformly conducted to the air suction holes 413 through the transition of the flow guiding cavity, so that the air suction holes 413 can uniformly and stably absorb the protective gas and dust around the axis of the cavity 411, and the collection rate of dust is improved.
In addition, the shielding gas can be helium or argon, specifically, in the laser welding process, the common shielding gas mainly comprises nitrogen, helium or argon, but because the nitrogen can chemically react with aluminum alloy and carbon steel at a certain temperature to generate nitride, the brittleness of the welding seam can be improved, the toughness is reduced, and the mechanical property of the welding seam joint can be greatly adversely affected. Since the case 601 of the battery 600 is mostly an aluminum case, helium or argon is used as the shielding gas in the present embodiment in order to avoid the reaction between nitrogen and the aluminum case. Helium gas is minimally ionized, ascending metal vapor generated from a metal molten pool can be quickly expelled, helium is used as a protective gas, plasma can be maximally restrained, and accordingly penetration is increased, and welding speed is improved. In addition, helium gas is light and can escape, so that air holes are not easily formed at the welding position 603, the welding quality can be improved, and the performance of the battery 600 can be ensured.

In the laser welding process, the laser welds the housing 601 and the top cover 602 through the cavity 411 formed by the first cavity 421, the second cavity 431 and the third cavity 441 together, so as to ensure welding accuracy.

[ defocus amount detecting Member ]
Referring to fig. 1 and 6, in some embodiments, the welding system further comprises a defocus amount detector. Defocus refers to the distance the surface of a workpiece is offset from the focal plane. The defocus position directly affects the pinhole effect when tailor welded. There are two ways of defocus: positive defocus and negative defocus. The focal plane is located above the workpiece and is positive defocus and vice versa. When the positive and negative defocus amounts are equal, the power densities of the corresponding planes are approximately the same, but the shapes of the melt pools obtained are different in practice. At negative defocus, a greater penetration is obtained, which is related to the formation of the puddle. Experiments show that when the laser heats 50-200 mu s, the material starts to melt to form liquid phase metal, partial vaporization occurs, high pressure vapor is formed, and the high pressure vapor is sprayed at an extremely high speed to emit glaring white light. At the same time, the high concentration gas moves the liquid metal to the edge of the bath, forming a pit in the center of the bath. When the negative defocus is carried out, the internal power density of the material is higher than the surface, and stronger melting and gasification are easy to form, so that light energy is transmitted to the deeper part of the material. Therefore, when the penetration is large in practical application, negative defocusing is adopted, and when thin materials are welded, positive defocusing is adopted. In the present embodiment, the defocus amount detecting member can detect whether the welding position 603 is located within the focusing range of the laser beam, ensure that a desired welding effect is achieved, and improve welding accuracy and welding quality, and further improve the quality of the battery 600.
