Embodiment Construction

[0024] The present invention includes and is used to directly connect one or more male connections (such as quick connect terminals) to a panel mount (such as integrating the quick connect terminals into a welding wire supply, referred to herein as system and method for a wire feeder). see figure 1 , the general setup of an electric welding system 300 includes a wire feeder 302 connected to a remote power source 304 and a gas source 306 . The illustrated wire feeder 302 is portable and designed to utilize welding current supplied from the remote power source 304, which is capable of supplying electric welding current for welding. The wire feeder 302 includes a power connection side plate 308 having four connectors connected to a working cable 310, a first welding cable 312, a second welding cable 314 and Gas cable 316.

[0025] Specifically, the working cable 310 includes: one end having a male connector received in a female connector on the power connection side panel 308;...

Abstract

A system and method for replaceable machine-mounted male input power connections includes a power connection unit that is at least partially arranged within a housing and configured to transfer power received from a power source to drive a welding process. The power connection unit includes an input configured to receive power from the power source, an output configured to deliver the power received at the input to drive the welding process, and a bus system, configured to connect the input and the output. The power connection unit also includes a male connector having a conductive post extending to a threaded cylindrical shaft. The male conductor forms at least a portion of the input or the output and extends from the housing through a coupling assembly. The coupling assembly includes a correspondingly threaded portion configured to engage the threaded cylindrical shaft of the male connector to the bus system.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] none [0003] Statement Regarding Federally Funded Research [0004] none Background technique [0005] The field of the invention is welding systems. More specifically, the present invention relates to power input connections for electric welding systems. [0006] Welding is the process of joining two or more metal parts by bringing the metal into a molten state where the metals flow together to form a weld. The process typically employs a fusible electrode in the form of a welding wire that is passed through a wire feeder to a welding torch. The wire feeder is often portable and designed for field use. During operation, the wire feeder receives welding current from a remote power source and passes the current through cables to other welding equipment to complete the electrical circuit. [0007] Traditionally, the electrical connectors of the wire feeder utilize ring terminals for connection to fixing studs and th...
