The welding dust removal dross removal mechanism that this embodiment provided is arranged in welding of power battery production and processing to remove dust and remove the welding slag, for example can be that the welding between top cap and the switching piece is used, can effectively reduce the welding slag and splash, avoids the welding slag to remain inside the battery to can guarantee welding quality, remove dust and remove the welding slag efficient, guarantee battery fail safe nature.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the welding dust removal and removal device provided by the present embodiment includes a workpiece positioning jig 1 and a dust hood 2. The workpiece positioning fixture 1 is used for clamping a workpiece to be welded 3, and in the present embodiment, an adapter sheet and a top cover are taken as an example. The workpiece positioning fixture 1 is provided with a welding bin 11 and an air inlet 12, the welding bin 11 is opposite to a welding area of the workpiece 3 to be welded, the air inlet 12 is arranged on the periphery of the welding bin 11 and communicated with the welding bin 11, and the air outlet direction of the air inlet 12 is inclined upwards. The dust hood 2 covers the workpiece positioning fixture 1, a laser light-emitting nozzle 21 and a suction opening 22 are arranged on the dust hood 2, the laser light-emitting nozzle 21 is located above the welding bin 11, the suction opening 22 is arranged around the laser light-emitting nozzle 21, the suction opening 22 is communicated with the air inlet 12 through the welding bin 11, and the suction opening 22 is externally connected with a negative-pressure dust suction device.
In the embodiment, the workpiece positioning fixture 1 clamps the to-be-welded part 3 and locks a required welding area, the dust hood 2 and the workpiece positioning fixture 1 are arranged oppositely, the laser light emitting nozzle 21 welds the welding area, and welding slag splashed in the welding process can be pumped away by the negative pressure dust pumping equipment under the combined action of air flow entering the air inlet 12 and air flow pumped by the air pumping opening 22. Realize that outside air current assists negative pressure dust extraction equipment to remove dust and remove the welding slag, utilize the hydrodynamics characteristic to get rid of the welding slag high efficiency that the welding splashes out, reduce the welding slag and splash, promote to remove dust and remove welding slag efficiency to guarantee power battery's safety in utilization performance. The air outlet direction of the air inlet 12 on the workpiece positioning clamp 1 is obliquely arranged upwards, and the dust hood 2 and the workpiece positioning clamp 1 are oppositely arranged to form convection, so that the air flow flowing direction is no longer parallel to the plane of a welding area, the crystallization quality of a welding seam is not influenced, the welding quality is improved, and the safety and reliability are improved.
During welding operation, the workpiece positioning clamp 1 is covered inside the dust hood 2 to protect operators around the laser welding equipment and prevent welding slag generated in the welding process from falling into a battery. In order to cover the workpiece positioning fixture 1 by the dust hood 2, the maximum outer diameter of the dust hood 2 is not less than the maximum outer diameter of the workpiece positioning fixture 1.
Specifically, to realize that the air outlet direction of the air inlet 12 is inclined upward, the air inlet 12 may be arranged obliquely upward. As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 3, the air inlet 12 may also include an air inlet section 121 and an air outlet section 122 connected to each other, the air inlet section 121 is disposed horizontally, and the air outlet section 122 is disposed obliquely upward. The two structures can realize air outlet of air flow along the upward inclined direction, and the influence on welding seam crystallization quality caused by overlarge air volume borne by a welding area is avoided.
Optionally, the air inlet 12 is externally connected with a blowing device such as a blower device to provide dry high-pressure air. According to the actual requirement, the flow speed of the air flow at the air inlet 12 is adjusted.
In order to improve the working efficiency of the dust and slag removing device and more efficiently remove the slag, optionally, the air inlets 12 may be provided in plurality, and two by two sets of air inlets are symmetrically arranged on the workpiece positioning fixture 1 about the central axis of the workpiece positioning fixture 1. As shown in fig. 3, air inlets 12 are disposed around the welding chamber 11. The arrangement of the plurality of air inlets 12 can effectively improve the air inlet amount, so that the welding slag is removed more thoroughly. Of course, in other embodiments, the air inlets 12 are not necessarily symmetrically arranged, and may be arranged according to the specific structure of the workpiece positioning fixture 1, as long as each air inlet 12 is communicated with the welding bin 11.
optionally, the welding cabin 11 is in an inverted trapezoid structure with a smaller lower end and a larger upper end, that is, the cross-sectional area of the part of the welding cabin close to the workpiece is smaller than that of the part close to the laser light outlet nozzle 21. This structure is favorable to focusing of laser welder head, can also reduce the probability that the welding slag dropped simultaneously, even if there is the welding slag carelessly to take place to descend, also can be caught by the inner wall that welding storehouse 11 slope set up, prevents that it from falling into in the power battery.
Accordingly, as shown in fig. 4, the suction opening 22 of the dust hood 2 may be provided in plural, and the number of the suction openings 22 is designed in consideration of actual production conditions and manufacturing costs. It is desirable that the suction force at the suction opening 22 is sufficient so that the airflow entering the inlet opening 12 will enter the dust extraction device connected to the suction opening 22 and be directionally extracted.
In this embodiment, the laser light emitting nozzle 21 can be arranged in the middle of the dust hood 2, and the uniformly distributed suction openings 22 are arranged around the laser light emitting nozzle 21, so that the uniformity of air flow can be improved, and the working stability of the dust removal and welding slag removal device is improved. When in actual use, the laser light emitting nozzle 21 is arranged opposite to the welding area, and has a certain gap with the welding area, so that the laser processing position can be conveniently adjusted.
Further, optionally, as shown in fig. 4, the dust hood 2 is a cylindrical structure, and includes a housing and a hood top connected to one end of the housing, the laser light emitting nozzles 21 are disposed at the center of the hood top and extend in the axial direction of the housing, and the suction openings 22 are circumferentially and uniformly distributed around the laser light emitting nozzles 21.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 1 and 4, the lower surface of the laser light outlet nozzle 21 is lower than the lower surface of the housing, i.e., the length of the laser light outlet nozzle 21 is slightly longer than the length of the dust collection cover 2 in the axial direction. The structure can improve the focusing accuracy of the laser welding head and improve the accuracy of welding operation.
In the present embodiment, the laser emitting tip 21 has an inverted frustum shape from top to bottom. The cross-sectional area of the part of the laser light extraction nozzle 21 close to the workpiece is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the part close to the laser welded joint. Due to the structure, the laser passes through the laser light-emitting nozzle 21 to reach the welding surface to realize focusing, and meanwhile, the probability that welding slag enters the laser light-emitting nozzle 21 is reduced.
