Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the continuous welding of strips or sheets guided in abutment with a laser beam, to which process gas is supplied at the welding location, the weld seam being cooled near the welding location with an atomized coolant.
- the invention further relates to a device for the continuous welding of strips or sheets led to butt with guide and conveying means for the strips or sheets, and a stationary laser beam source, which in the conveying direction of the strips or sheets has a nozzle arrangement with a nozzle directed towards the welding point Process gas nozzle and a coolant nozzle directed towards the immediate vicinity of the welding location.
- three nozzles are arranged one behind the other in the conveying direction of the strips, of which shielding gas is supplied to the welding site via a first nozzle.
- Inert gas is blown onto the weld seam via a downstream nozzle.
- a third nozzle is used to weld the seam a liquid coolant.
- the inert gas of the second nozzle and the liquid coolant are directed away from the welding location at a certain angle.
- the inert gas of the second nozzle practically creates a gas curtain that shields the welding site from the coolant.
- Such a device is complex because it requires three separate feeds for gas or coolant.
- Another disadvantage is that under the given geometric conditions, the cooling with the three nozzles cannot begin very close to the welding location. The conditions cannot be changed in a simple manner depending on the process. Corrosion can only be prevented if the liquid coolant is sucked off the surface of the belt after cooling. This requires a complex suction device.
- the cooling nozzle consists of a cooling plate with a large number of nozzle openings and a beak which also extends to the vicinity of the welding location and also a large number of nozzle openings. In this case, air is blown through the nozzle openings as a coolant. Apart from the quite complex structure of this cooling plate, experience has shown that cooling with air is not particularly intensive.
- a more intensive cooling of the welding site should be achieved by means of an atomized cooling mixture of gas and liquid (SU 18 24 268 AI).
- the invention is based on the object of a method and a device for the continuous welding of strips or sheets led to butt with a To create a laser beam that enables intensive cooling of the weld seam with comparatively simple means.
- This object is achieved procedurally in that a water-gas, in particular water-air mixture in the form of a flat jet extending in the direction of the weld seam and lying in a plane perpendicular to the strip or sheet plane is used as the coolant, the front edge running in the beam direction encloses an acute angle with the laser beam.
- a water-gas, in particular water-air mixture in the form of a flat jet extending in the direction of the weld seam and lying in a plane perpendicular to the strip or sheet plane is used as the coolant, the front edge running in the beam direction encloses an acute angle with the laser beam.
- the coolant nozzle is a slot jet nozzle for a water-gas (air) mixture, the flat jet of which lies in a plane that is perpendicular to the strip or sheet metal plane, extends along the weld seam and with it front edge forms an acute angle with the laser beam.
- the invention results in a significantly better and more easily controllable cooling intensity in that not only gas or air or water is used as the coolant, but also a gas (air) / water mixture. In addition to the nozzle for the process gas, only one further nozzle is required for this. It is not necessary to shield the welding site from the coolant by means of inert gas. Since the water is supplied in the form of droplets, the cooling effect is used much better than with a full jet of liquid. A physical explanation for this cooling effect may be that the sprayed-on droplets penetrate a vapor layer forming on the sheet and are thus in direct contact with the cooling weld and, if necessary, the surrounding area.
- the location at which the cooling begins can be changed by pivoting the nozzle in the plane of the weld seam.
- a change in the location of the cooling is possible even with the angular position of the nozzle unchanged by changing the distance horizontally or vertically. Since no large volume of liquid coolant is supplied, the welding quality is not impaired by the cooling that begins in the immediate vicinity of the welding point. In addition, no complex suction is required.
- the slit jet nozzle is preferably designed as an injector nozzle.
- a slot jet nozzle has proven itself, which has a cone-shaped mouthpiece with a chamfered front edge and a front slot extending into the chamfered edge.
- Figure 1 shows a device for continuous
- Figure 2 shows a nozzle arrangement with process nozzle
- Figure 3 shows the slot jet nozzle of Figure 2 in rear view
- FIG. 4 shows the slit jet nozzle according to FIG.
- the representation of the device according to FIG. 1 runs through the weld seam.
- a laser beam 1 is directed perpendicularly to the sheets 2, which are guided by conveying and guiding means (not shown) and are to be welded together in the butt joint 2a.
- the laser beam 1 is followed by a nozzle arrangement 3 in the welding direction, which is designed as a duplex nozzle and has a first nozzle 4 for process gas with an inclined exit direction.
- the process gas is fed to the welding spot.
- This first nozzle 4 is followed by a second nozzle 5 for a water-air mixture.
- the nozzle 5 is designed as a pneumatic atomizer nozzle with an internal mixture. It has an annular channel 5a for air and a central channel 5b for water. A swirling of water and air takes place in its cylindrical mouthpiece.
- the mouthpiece 5c has a chamfered edge 5d on the end face with a narrow end slot 5e which extends into the chamfer region.
- This configuration of the slit jet nozzle 5 lets a trapezoid-like flat jet 5f emerge from the slit 5e, which extends in the direction of the weld seam 2a. Due to the opening angle, this flat beam 5f extends close to the welding point. By increasing the opening angle, the distance between the welding point and the start of cooling can be reduced. However, the distance can also be varied by changing the distance of the nozzle 5 from the sheet 2 or by moving the nozzle 5 parallel to the sheet surface and in the direction of the weld. Also the pivoting of the nozzle 5 by a crosswise to the weld 2a and parallel to the sheet 2 The axis of rotation enables the distance between the welding point and the start of cooling to be varied.
- a different nozzle shape can be used in order to get as close as possible to the welding site.
- nozzles can be used that also cool the sheet in front of and next to the welding location. Cooling of this type is also useful in order to counteract the divergence of the abutting edges. Such cooling is also useful in that it prevents the welding heat from expanding far into the sheet.
- the aim is that the laser beam evaporates as little zinc as possible next to the weld seam in order to utilize the remote protection effect of the remaining zinc on the weld seam.
- a ring jet nozzle is suitable for this purpose, for example. This ring jet nozzle can be combined with the proposed slot jet nozzle in order to generate a slot jet in the direction of the weld seam in addition to the ring jet.
