[0002] On an automobile white welding process production line, the quality of the welding electrode end face of a spot welding robot directly affects the welding strength. In order to ensure the welding quality of a welding product, the electrode cap of the welding electrode is usually replaced after a certain number of welding points are welded. When the electrode cap is removed from the front end of the welding gun, the electrode cooling water flows out from the front end of the welding gun, affecting the normal use of the surrounding equipment.

Specifically, as shown in Figure 5 before each electrode installed at the front end of the welding gun is replaced, a stop valve 11 is used to stop the circulation of cooling water in each electrode 3, and part or all of the cooling water accumulated in the cooling water passage 41 is sucked into the inside of the cylinder 5, so that when each electrode 3 is removed from the front end of the welding gun 2, the cooling water can be prevented from flowing out from the front end of the welding gun. After a new electrode 3 is installed at the front end of the welding gun, the stop of the cooling water circulation by the stop valve 11 is released, and the spot welding machine becomes in a state capable of performing spot welding.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0031] As shown in Figures 1-2 The water manager provided by the present application comprises a welding gun cooling water inlet pipe 11, a welding gun cooling water return pipe 24 and a water storage device 3. The water outlet end of the welding gun cooling water inlet pipe 11 is used to connect with the water inlet interface of the welding gun, the water inlet end of the welding gun cooling water return pipe 24 is used to connect with the water return interface of the welding gun, and a two-position two-common normally off electromagnetic valve 4 is arranged on the welding gun cooling water inlet pipe 11.
[0032] The water storage device 3 comprises a connecting rod 31, a water cylinder 32, a gas cylinder 33 and a two-position five-way electromagnetic valve 34. The water cylinder comprises a cylinder body, a piston and a piston rod. One side of the piston of the water cylinder is connected with the piston rod, and the other side of the piston of the water cylinder forms a water storage cavity 320 with the inner wall of the cylinder body. The water storage cavity 320 is connected with the welding gun cooling water return pipe 24 through a pipeline. The piston rod of the water cylinder 32 and the piston rod of the gas cylinder 33 are fixedly connected with the connecting rod 31. The first working interface of the two-position five-way electromagnetic valve 34 is connected with the rod cavity 331 of the gas cylinder 33 through a pipeline. The second working interface of the two-position five-way electromagnetic valve 34 is connected with the rodless cavity 332 of the gas cylinder through a pipeline. The gas source interface of the two-position five-way electromagnetic valve 34 is used for connecting a gas source. The gas cylinder can be a double-acting gas cylinder. The number of the gas cylinder can be one, two or more. The actual situation can be selected, and the specific limitation is not made here.
[0033] The two-position five-way electromagnetic valve 34 is an automatic basic element for controlling fluid. Specifically, a two-position five-way single electric control electromagnetic valve or a two-position five-way double electric control electromagnetic valve with mature technology can be used. The two-position five-way double electric control electromagnetic valve is provided with two working interfaces, a gas source interface, and two exhaust ports.
[0034] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the coil B of the two-position five-way double electric control electromagnetic valve is powered, the rodless cavity 332 of the gas cylinder is supplied with gas through the gas source interface and the second working interface. The piston rod of the gas cylinder 33 moves to the left side, and the piston rod of the water cylinder 32 is driven to move to the left side, so that the water storage cavity 320 of the water cylinder 32 generates negative pressure. The cooling water remaining in the welding gun cooling water return pipe 24 and the welding gun cooling water inlet pipe 11 is sucked into the water storage cavity 320. Therefore, when the electrode cap is removed from the front end of the welding gun, the cooling water can be prevented from flowing out of the front end of the welding gun. The two-position five-way double electric control electromagnetic valve has the function of power-off retention. At this time, if the power supply system is powered off, the coil A and the coil B of the two-position five-way double electric control electromagnetic valve are simultaneously powered off, and the water cylinder 32 of the water storage device 3 can be kept in the water pumping state before power-off. The water in the water storage cavity 320 will not flow back to the welding gun cooling water return pipe, so that the cooling water can still be effectively prevented from flowing out of the front end of the welding gun.
[0035] When the coil A of the two-position five-way double electric control electromagnetic valve is powered, the rod cavity 331 of the gas cylinder 33 is supplied with gas through the gas source interface and the first working interface. The piston rod of the gas cylinder 33 moves to the right side, and the piston rod of the water cylinder 32 is driven to move to the right side, so that the cooling water accumulated in the water storage cavity 320 of the water cylinder 32 flows back to the welding gun cooling water return pipe. At this time, if the power supply system is powered off, the coil A and the coil B of the two-position five-way double electric control electromagnetic valve are simultaneously powered off, and the water cylinder of the water storage device is kept in the state before power-off.
[0036] When the coil of the two-position five-way single electric control electromagnetic valve is powered off, the two-position five-way single electric control electromagnetic valve supplies gas to the rodless cavity 332 of the cylinder 33 through the gas source interface and the second working interface, the piston rod of the cylinder 33 moves to the left, the piston rod of the water cylinder 32 is driven to move to the left, the water cavity 320 of the water cylinder generates negative pressure, and the cooling water remaining in the welding gun cooling water return pipe 24 and the welding gun cooling water inlet pipe 11 is sucked into the water cavity 320. Therefore, when the electrode cap is removed from the front end of the welding gun, the cooling water can be prevented from flowing out of the front end of the welding gun. At this time, if the power supply system is powered off, the water cylinder 32 of the water storage device 3 can remain in the water pumping state before the power is off because the coil of the two-position five-way single electric control electromagnetic valve is originally powered off. The water in the water cavity 320 cannot flow back to the welding gun cooling water return pipe, and the cooling water can still be effectively prevented from flowing out of the front end of the welding gun.
[0037] When the coil of the two-position five-way single electric control electromagnetic valve is powered on, the two-position five-way single electric control electromagnetic valve supplies gas to the rod cavity 331 of the cylinder 33 through the gas source interface and the first working interface, the piston rod of the cylinder 33 moves to the right, the piston rod of the water cylinder 32 is driven to move to the right, and the cooling water accumulated in the water cavity 320 of the water cylinder flows back to the welding gun cooling water return pipe 24. At this time, if the power supply system is powered off, the coil of the two-position five-way single electric control electromagnetic valve is powered off, and then the two-position five-way single electric control electromagnetic valve supplies gas to the rodless cavity 320 of the cylinder 33 through the gas source interface and the second working interface, the piston rod of the cylinder 33 moves to the left, the piston rod of the water cylinder 32 is driven to move to the left, and the water cavity 320 of the water cylinder 32 generates negative pressure, and the cooling water remaining in the welding gun cooling water return pipe 24 and the welding gun cooling water inlet pipe 11 is sucked into the water cavity 320.
[0038] Compared with the prior art, the water manager provided by the application has the following advantages. First, the two-position two-ordinary power-off electromagnetic valve 4 is arranged on the pipeline of the welding gun cooling water inlet pipe 11, and the water path in the welding gun cooling water inlet pipe 11 is cut off in the case of sudden power failure of the power supply system. Second, the water storage device 3 is arranged, the first working interface and the second working interface of the two-position five-way electromagnetic valve 34 are respectively connected with the rod cavity 331 and the rodless cavity 332 of the cylinder, one end of the piston rod of the cylinder 33 and one end of the piston rod of the water cylinder 32 are fixedly connected to the connecting rod 31, the piston rod of the water cylinder 32 can be driven to move by controlling the two-position five-way electromagnetic valve 34 to supply gas to the rod cavity 331 or the rodless cavity 332 of the cylinder 33, so that the water cavity 320 of the water cylinder 32 can suck water or release water from the welding gun cooling water return pipe 24. In the process of removing the electrode cap, if the power supply system suddenly fails, the water cavity 320 of the water cylinder 32 can still suck water from the welding gun cooling water return pipe 24, and the cooling water can still be effectively prevented from flowing out of the front end of the welding gun in the case of power failure.
