[0037] In the description of this invention, the use of "first" and "second" is for the purpose of distinguishing technical features only, and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated or the order of the technical features indicated.

[0038] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "set up," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 4 An embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a welding torch cooling device, including a cooling water tank 100, which has a cavity 101, a water outlet 110, a return outlet 120, and a mounting groove 130. The cavity 101 is used to contain coolant, and the water outlet 110 and the return outlet 120 are both connected to the cavity 101. The cavity 101 is arranged around the mounting groove 130. A bracket 210 is disposed in the mounting groove 130. A water pump 220 is disposed in the bracket 210. One end of the water pump 220 is connected to the water outlet 110, and the other end of the water pump 220 is connected to the welding torch (not shown in the figure) for cooling the welding torch.

[0040] Specifically, the bracket 210 is installed in the mounting slot 130 of the cooling water tank 100, and the water pump 220 is installed on the bracket 210. Under the action of the water pump 220, the coolant in the cavity 101 flows out from the outlet 110, cooling the welding torch as it flows through it, and then returns to the cavity 101 from the return port 120, thus achieving continuous cooling of the welding torch. The cooling water tank 100 serves as the main installation component, eliminating the need for a separate large-sized enclosure, reducing costs. Furthermore, its small overall size and compact structure facilitate transportation and improve the user experience.

[0041] Understandably, referring to Figure 3 A heat exchanger 230 is provided on the bracket 210. One end of the heat exchanger 230 is connected to the welding torch, and the other end of the heat exchanger 230 is connected to the return port 120 for cooling the coolant and then delivering it to the cavity 101.

[0042] It should be noted that after the coolant flows through the welding torch, some of the heat from the heating parts of the welding torch is transferred to the coolant, and the temperature of the coolant rises. Then the hot coolant flows through the heat exchanger 230, which can quickly dissipate most of the heat of the hot coolant into the air, thereby cooling the coolant. Finally, the cooled coolant returns to the cavity 101 through the return port 120 to ensure the continuous cooling of the welding torch.

[0043] Optionally, the heat exchanger 230 can be a single-coil radiator, a double-coil radiator, or other types of radiators, as long as it can effectively cool the coolant.

[0044] Understandably, referring to Figure 3 The welding torch cooling device also includes a cooling fan 240, which is mounted on the bracket 210 for cooling the heat exchanger 230. It should be understood that the cooling fan 240 can dissipate heat from the heat exchanger 230, preventing it from overheating and ensuring its normal operation. It can also accelerate the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 230, allowing the hot coolant to cool down quickly.

[0045] Understandably, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The bracket 210 includes a mounting frame 211, a panel 212, and a baffle 213. The mounting frame 211 is located in the mounting groove 130, the panel 212 is located at one end of the mounting frame 211, and the baffle 213 is located at the other end of the mounting frame 211. The panel 212 and the baffle 213 cooperate to fix the mounting frame 211 in the mounting groove 130.

[0046] It should be noted that the mounting bracket 211 is installed in the mounting groove 130, and the panel 212 and the baffle 213 are respectively set at both ends of the mounting bracket 211. With the cooperation of the panel 212 and the baffle 213, the cooling water tank 100 can be clamped, thereby fixing the mounting bracket 211 in the mounting groove 130.

[0047] Those skilled in the art will readily recognize that the panel 212 and the baffle 213 can be fixed to the mounting bracket 211 with screws to facilitate disassembly and maintenance. Furthermore, the cooling water tank 100 can also be provided with a structure for fixing the panel 212 or the baffle 213, such as screw holes or through holes, so that the panel 212 or the baffle 213 can be fixed to the cooling water tank 100, thereby fixing the mounting bracket 211 in the mounting groove 130.

[0048] Understandably, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4The panel 212 has mounting holes, and a connector 214 is installed in the mounting holes for connecting pipelines (not shown in the figure). It should be understood that coolant flows in the pipelines, and the connector 214 facilitates the disassembly or connection of the pipelines. The mounting holes on the panel 212, with the connector 214 installed in them, improve space utilization. The fixed installation position of the connector 214 avoids arbitrary changes, facilitating pipeline routing and reducing pipeline entanglement. Optionally, a start switch 215 can also be installed on the panel 212 for quick user start-up and improved user experience.

[0049] Understandably, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cooling water tank 100 has positioning grooves 131 on both sides, which are used for positioning and installing the panel 212 and the baffle 213. It should be understood that the panel 212 and the baffle 213 are respectively installed in the positioning grooves 131 on both sides of the cooling water tank 100. The positioning grooves 131 facilitate the quick positioning and installation of the panel 212 and the baffle 213.

[0050] Furthermore, the depth of the positioning groove 131 can be set to be equal to the thickness of the panel 212 and the baffle 213, so that after the panel 212 and the baffle 213 are respectively installed in the positioning grooves 131 on both sides of the cooling water tank 100, the end face of the panel 212 away from the mounting bracket 211 is flush with the corresponding end face of the cooling water tank 100, and the end face of the baffle 213 away from the mounting bracket 211 is flush with the corresponding end face of the cooling water tank 100, thereby improving the aesthetics.

[0051] Understandably, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The surface of the mounting groove 130 is provided with multiple guide grooves 132, and the mounting bracket 211 is slidably disposed in the guide grooves 132. It should be understood that during the installation process, the mounting bracket 211 can be slidably inserted along the guide grooves 132, which facilitates the installation of the mounting bracket 211 and effectively prevents the mounting bracket 211 from scratching the cooling water tank 100 during the disassembly and assembly process. At the same time, the multiple guide grooves 132 can also serve as a positioning function for the mounting bracket 211.

[0052] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 A second aspect of the present invention provides a cooling water tank, comprising: a cavity 101 for containing coolant, the cavity 101 having a mounting groove 130 formed around it; an outlet 110 for coolant to flow out of the cavity 101; and a return port 120 for coolant to return to the cavity 101.

[0053] It should be noted that the cooling water tank 100 can be used with components such as the bracket 210 and the water pump 220. The bracket 210, the water pump 220 and other components can be installed in the mounting slot 130. As the main installation body, the cooling water tank 100 eliminates the need for a separate large-sized box, reducing costs. In addition, its small overall size and compact structure make it easy to transport and improve the user experience.

[0054] Furthermore, combined Figure 6 The outlet 110 can be located at the bottom of the cooling water tank 100 so that when the coolant level drops, the coolant can still flow out from the outlet 110, ensuring the supply of coolant for the welding torch.

[0055] Furthermore, combined Figure 6 The return port 120 can be set at the top of the cooling water tank 100 to facilitate the return of coolant.

[0056] It will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that the return port 120 can also be used to add coolant. When coolant needs to be added, the pipe connected to the return port 120 is disconnected, and then coolant can be added to the cavity 101 through the return port 120. After the addition is complete, the pipe is reconnected.

[0057] Optionally, combined Figure 6 A cleaning port 160 can be provided at the bottom of the cooling water tank 100. The cleaning port 160 located at the bottom of the cooling water tank 100 can drain the wastewater after cleaning.

[0058] Optionally, combined Figure 6 A handle 170 can be installed on the top of the cooling water tank 100, allowing users to move the cooling water tank 100 by grabbing the handle 170.

[0059] Understandably, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The cooling water tank 100 is a closed ring, and the cavity 101 surrounds the mounting groove 130 in a ring shape. It should be understood that the ring-shaped cooling water tank 100 can effectively improve space utilization, the mounting groove 130 can install related components, the overall size is small and the structure is compact, which improves the user experience.

[0060] It is understandable that the cooling water tank 100 is an open C-shape, and the cavity 101 surrounds the mounting groove 130 in a C-shape. It should be understood that the C-shaped cooling water tank 100 effectively improves space utilization, the mounting groove 130 can accommodate related components, and the overall size is small and compact, improving the user experience.

[0061] Understandably, referring to Figure 6 The cooling water tank 100 is provided with a connection port 140, which is used to connect multiple cooling water tanks 100 in series. The connection port 140 is located at the lower part of the cooling water tank 100.

[0062] It should be noted that, depending on the cooling requirements of the welding torch, i.e. the required volume of coolant, one or more cooling water tanks 100 can be used. When using multiple cooling water tanks 100, they can be connected in series through the connection port 140. Without replacing the cooling water tanks 100, the cooling water tank 100 can be enlarged to meet the required volume of coolant. This method is simple to operate, convenient to use, and improves the user experience.

[0063] Understandably, referring to Figure 6 The cooling water tank 100 is provided with support feet 150 on both sides of its bottom. The support feet 150 are used to support the cooling water tank 100. It should be understood that the support feet 150 can make the cooling water tank 100 more stable when placed, and prevent the cooling water tank 100 from tilting or shaking violently during use.

[0064] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
