Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of welding guns, in particular to a gas shielded welding gun. Background Art

[0002] A welding gun generally contains structures such as an electrical circuit, a gas circuit, and a coolant circuit. A water-cooled gas shielded welding gun includes components such as a gun head, a connector, a cable, and a rear plug. The connector is used to connect the gun head and cable together, while also connecting the various circuits. During operation, cooling water flows from the rear plug into the cable, passes through the connector, and reaches the gun head. The coolant absorbs the heat in the gun head and refluxes it, passing through the connector and rear plug, and finally out into the water tank, completing the cooling cycle for the welding gun. Simultaneously, shielding gas also flows in from the rear plug, passes through the connector and the wire channel, and finally flows out of the conductive nozzle seat at the end of the gun head to protect the weld. Finally, good circuit conductivity is the guarantee for successful welding. Therefore, the conductive surface of the connector must be large enough and the contact must be tight enough.

[0003] Because welding guns require frequent assembly and disassembly, the aforementioned connection method makes the connection between the torch neck and cable difficult to assemble and disassemble, often requiring tools like wrenches. This not only hinders routine maintenance but also easily damages the cable and torch neck, shortening the service life of the welding gun. Furthermore, in water-cooled welding guns, when the torch neck is disassembled, coolant can overflow from the cable, potentially contaminating the workpiece and affecting weld quality.

[0004] To address the above technical issues, Chinese patent CN104439657A discloses a connector for connecting a welding gun neck to a cable, comprising a thumb-tight nut, a conductive flange, a self-lubricating washer, and a copper conductor. The conductive flange and copper conductor are provided with axially extending mounting holes and connection holes for connecting the cable connector, air pipe, and coolant pipe. The conductive flange is fixed within the thumb-tight nut. A boss is provided at the end of the copper conductor corresponding to the thumb-tight nut. The self-lubricating washer is positioned on this boss, located between the copper conductor and the thumb-tight nut. This end of the copper conductor is bolted to the conductive flange. The end of the thumb-tight nut facing away from the copper conductor engages the gun neck, which then extends into the thumb-tight nut and engages with its inner threaded wall. The thumb-tight nut used in this patent allows for manual assembly and disassembly of the gun neck, making assembly, disassembly, and maintenance easy and harmless to the cable and gun neck. However, the assembly and disassembly of the gun neck and cable in this patent is relatively inconvenient, requiring manual operation. Coolant leaks can easily cause production safety issues, while also impacting product quality and processing efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to provide a gas shielded welding gun to prevent coolant leakage when the gun neck is disassembled, improve the safety of the connector when connecting the gun neck and the cable, and improve ease of use and product quality.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. This figure is a simplified schematic diagram, which only illustrates the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only shows the components related to the present invention.

[0033] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides a gas shielded welding gun, comprising a gun head 12, a connector body 13 and a rear plug body 21. One end of the connector body 13 is connected to the gun head 12, and the other end of the connector body 13 is connected to the rear plug body 21. When in use, the connector body 13 is used to connect the gun head 12 and the rear plug body 21 as a whole, and at the same time, the connection of the circuit, gas circuit and coolant circuit is realized, thereby ensuring the stability of the welding gun.

[0034] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 3The connector body 13 includes a conductive seat 4, an insulating sleeve 7 and a connector shell 8. The insulating sleeve 7 is sleeved on the outside of the conductive seat 4 and the insulating sleeve 7 and the conductive seat 4 are relatively fixed. The connector shell 8 is sleeved on the outside of the insulating sleeve 7 and the connector shell 8 is detachably connected to the insulating sleeve 7 using fasteners such as bolts or screws. The conductive seat 4 is cylindrical, and a threaded hole 402 is axially provided on the conductive seat 4. A plurality of through holes 401 are provided in the circular direction around the threaded hole 402 on the conductive seat 4. The inlet and outlet water conduits 5 are plugged in and connected to some of the through holes 401, and the air pipe 9 is plugged in and connected to another part of the through holes 401.

[0035] In this embodiment, there are two inlet and outlet water conduits 5, and both inlet and outlet water conduits 5 are connected with coolant 24, and the coolant 24 includes but is not limited to water. One of the two inlet and outlet water conduits 5 is used for water inlet and the other is used for water outlet. A conductive nut 6 is provided at one end of the inlet and outlet water conduits 5, and the conductive nut 6 abuts against the conductive seat 4 and is electrically connected between the conductive seat 4. The coolant 24 is passed into the inlet and outlet water conduits 5, and the conductive nut 6 is connected to the power supply; when in use, the inlet and outlet water conduits 5 are used to realize the circulation supply of the coolant 24, forming a coolant loop, and the circulation loop of the coolant 24 is placed inside the conductive seat 4, thereby greatly improving the cooling effect of the present invention, and at the same time, the two conductive nuts 6 are used to ensure the connectivity of the power supply, improve the connection stability and welding power, effectively extend the service life of the welding gun, and reduce the heat generation and energy consumption of the present invention.

[0036] Further, see Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 The conductive seat 4 is embedded with a water-gas plug 1 in the through hole 401, and the water-gas plug 1 is located in the through hole 401 at one end away from the inlet and outlet water conduit 5; the present invention utilizes the opening and closing of the water-gas plug 1 to control the connectivity and closure of the through hole 401, thereby preventing the coolant 24 in the through hole 401 from flowing out and improving the stability of use.

[0037] Specifically, the water and gas plug 1 includes a valve core 101, a spring 2 and a water valve base 3. The water and gas plug 1 is a cylindrical structure with openings at both ends. The valve core 101 is cooperatively arranged in the water and gas plug 1 and slides along the axis of the water and gas plug 1. The axial shoulder of the valve core 101 abuts the end face of the water and gas plug 1 and seals the water and gas plug 1. A connecting channel 102 is provided on the valve core 101. When in use, the connecting channel 102 connects the water and gas plug 1 with the through hole 401.

[0038] The water valve base 3 is fixedly connected in the through hole 401 and faces the valve core 101. One end of the spring 2 abuts the water valve base 3, and the other end of the spring 2 abuts the valve core 101. When in use, the valve core 101 is pressed, the spring 2 is compressed and moves toward the water valve base 3, and the connecting channel 102 on the valve core 101 connects the water and gas plug 1 and the through hole 401 to realize the delivery of the coolant 24. When the force applied to the valve core 101 is removed, the valve core 101 is reset under the elastic action of the spring 2, and the axial shoulder of the valve core 101 abuts the end face of the water and gas plug 1 and seals the water and gas plug 1. The through hole 401 is closed, which effectively prevents the coolant 24 in the through hole 401 from flowing out, thereby improving the stability of the present invention.

[0039] In this embodiment, the water-gas plug 1 is detachably connected to the through hole 401 by means of a thread, and a second O-ring 11 is provided between the outer wall of the water-gas plug 1 and the inner wall of the through hole 401 to improve the sealing stability. A third O-ring 103 is provided on the shoulder of the valve core 101, and the third O-ring 103 is located between the shoulder of the valve core 101 and the end face of the water-gas plug 1. When the shoulder of the valve core 101 abuts against the end face of the water-gas plug 1, the third O-ring 103 is utilized to improve the sealing effect, prevent the coolant 24 from flowing out, and improve the stability of use of the present invention.

[0040] See also Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 The gun tip 12 includes an inner core 12r, one end of which is fitted with a diverter 12k. The connector body 13 is detachably connected to the other end of the inner core 12r. During use, coolant 24 flows from the inlet and outlet water conduits 5 on the connector body 13 into the gun tip 12, where it is divided and refluxed at the diverter 12k, cooling the gun tip 12.

[0041] Furthermore, the end surface of the inner core 12r is provided with a vent connector 12e, a water outlet connector 12b, and a water inlet connector 12d. The connector body 13 is provided with multiple interfaces at the ends of the multiple through holes 401. The interfaces located at the two water and gas plugs 1 are respectively a first water pipe interface 13b and a second water pipe interface 13c, and the interface located at the air pipe 9 is an air pipe interface 13a. The vent connector 12e is snap-fitted to the air pipe interface 13a, and the water outlet connector 12b and the water inlet connector 12d are snap-fitted to the first water pipe interface 13b and the second water pipe interface 13c, respectively. The first water pipe interface 13b and the second water pipe interface 13c are respectively connected to the connection channel 102 on the water and gas plug 1.

[0042] It can be understood that the connection between the interface and the connector in the present invention is achieved by a snap-fit ​​connection in which a snap-fit ​​block and a snap-fit ​​groove cooperate with each other, or by a threaded connection using fasteners such as bolts.

[0043] Furthermore, the end faces of the water outlet connector 12b and the water inlet connector 12d abut against the valve core 101, so that when the gun head 12 is connected to the connector body 13, the water and gas plug 1 is opened, and when the gun head 12 is separated from the connector body 13, the water and gas plug 1 is closed, thereby preventing the coolant 24 in the through hole 401 from flowing out, thereby improving the stability of the use of the present invention.

[0044] Furthermore, a fixing pin 12f is provided on the end face of the inner core 12r, and a positioning interface 13d is provided at the end of a through hole 401, and the fixing pin 12f is plugged and connected in the positioning interface 13d; when in use, the fixing pin 12f is first inserted into the positioning interface 13d to ensure accurate positioning, and then the multiple interfaces and the connectors are connected to each other to complete the connection of the circuit, gas circuit, and coolant circuit.

[0045] Further, see Figure 7 An air inlet passage 120 is axially provided in the inner core 12r, and the end of the air inlet passage 120 is detachably connected to the threaded hole 402, and the air inlet passage 120 is connected to the ventilation joint 12e; a welding wire 22 is passed through the threaded hole 402, and a shielding gas 23 is passed through the air pipe 9, and the shielding gas 23 includes but is not limited to helium and argon; the welding wire 22 is passed into the air inlet passage 120 and mixed with the shielding gas 23, thereby ensuring the stability of use, reducing the internal complex structure of the welding gun, and reducing the production cost.

[0046] Please refer again Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 The inner core 12r is covered with a high-temperature insulating tube 12s, and a cooling channel 123 is provided between the inner core 12r and the high-temperature insulating tube 12s, and the cooling channel 123 is connected to the first water pipe interface 13b and the second water pipe interface 13c; the high-temperature insulating tube 12s is covered with a heat-insulating outer shell 12p, and one end of the heat-insulating outer shell 12p is threadedly connected to an insulating bushing 12q, and the other end of the heat-insulating outer shell 12p is threadedly connected to a water cavity outer shell 12g. The insulating bushing 12q is also threadedly connected to the inner core 12r, so that the heat-insulating outer shell 12p is fixed relative to the inner core 12r, thereby ensuring the stability and sealing of the present invention.

[0047] Furthermore, the heat-insulating outer shell 12p is covered with a hand-screw nut 12a, the inner wall of which abuts the shoulder of the insulating bushing 12q. The hand-screw nut 12a is threadedly connected to the connector body 13. The end face of the inner core 12r abuts the end face of the conductive seat 4. During use, a worker threads the hand-screw nut 12a onto the connector body 13, ensuring a close contact and electrical connection between the inner core 12r and the conductive seat 4 on the connector body 13, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the gun tip 12 and the connector body 13. Furthermore, the inner core 12r and the heat-insulating outer shell 12p are separated, greatly reducing processing difficulty and effectively lowering production costs.

[0048] Further, see Figure 7 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 The diverter 12k is located in the water cavity shell 12g, and a cooling cavity 121 is formed between the diverter 12k and the water cavity shell 12g. The cooling cavity 121 is connected to the cooling channel 123.

[0049] A heat exchange cavity 125 is formed between the inner core 12r and the diverter 12k. A cooling groove 124 is provided on the inner core 12r at the heat exchange cavity 125. An inclined hole 122 is provided on the diverter 12k at the heat exchange cavity 125. The inclined hole 122 passes through the diverter 12k and faces the cooling groove 124. The cooling cavity 121 is connected to the heat exchange cavity 125.

[0050] In this embodiment, a plurality of third O-rings 12h are installed on the outer wall of the diverter 12k, and the third O-rings 12h abut against the inner wall of the water cavity shell 12g. The plurality of third O-rings 12h are used to ensure the sealing effect of the cooling cavity 121, thereby improving the stability of the present invention.

[0051] Further, see Figure 1 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 11 The end of the water chamber shell 12g is provided with a nozzle sheath 15, and the end of the inner core 12r is provided with a nozzle seat 14. The nozzle seat 14 is threadedly connected to a conductive nozzle seat 16, and the conductive nozzle seat 16 is detachably connected to an electrode 17; the outer wall of the nozzle seat 14 abuts the inner wall of the diverter 12k, and the end face of the nozzle seat 14 is close to the heat exchange cavity 125.

[0052] During use, the heat generated by the electrode 17 is transferred to the nozzle holder 14 via the contact tip holder 16. The heat exchange cavity 125 absorbs the heat from the nozzle holder 14, thereby cooling the contact tip holder 16 and the electrode 17, ensuring the stability of the present invention. Furthermore, the heat exchange cavity 125 is formed on the wall of the inner core 12r, allowing direct contact between the coolant 24 and the inner core 12r, improving heat exchange efficiency and further ensuring the stability of the present invention.

[0053] In this embodiment, the shielding gas 23 enters the conductive nozzle holder 16 from the air inlet channel 120, and then the shielding gas 23 is evenly discharged around the electrode 17 through the exhaust holes on the conductive nozzle holder 16 to isolate the air and improve the processing effect.

Compared with the prior art, the present invention can provide a larger coolant 24 circulation diameter within a limited cable cross-section, thereby increasing the flow rate of the coolant 24, making the transportation of the coolant 24 stronger and more stable, thereby improving the cooling effect of the present invention.

[0055] In this embodiment, the end of the power cable 18 is threadedly connected to the conductive nut 6 using locking parts such as bolts or screws to ensure the stability of the connection.

[0060] Step 2: Insert the fixing pin 12f on the end face of the inner core 12r into the positioning interface 13d to complete the positioning. Then, snap-fit ​​the vent connector 12e into the air pipe interface 13a, snap-fit ​​the water outlet connector 12b into the first water pipe interface 13b, and snap-fit ​​the water inlet connector 12d into the second water pipe interface 13c. This completes the connection between the inner core 12r and the connector body 13.

[0061] Step 3: Manually turn the hand-screw nut 12a to complete the installation between the gun head 12 and the connector body 13. During cooling, the coolant 24 flows from the rear plug body 21 into the connector body 13 and finally into the gun head 12, achieving cooling. After cooling, the coolant 24 flows out of the gun head 12 and into the connector body 13, finally out of the rear plug body 21, completing the circulation of the coolant 24. During operation, the coolant 24 is circulated, and the shielding gas 23 and welding wire 22 are both passed from the rear plug body 21 into the connector body 13 and finally into the gun head 12, completing welding and shielding.

[0062] The present invention utilizes a connector body 13 to connect the gun head 12 and the rear plug body 21 as a whole, while simultaneously achieving connectivity among the circuit, gas circuit, and coolant circuit. Two water inlet and outlet pipes 5 are provided on the connector body 13, and the water inlet and outlet pipes 5 are used to circulate the coolant 24. The coolant circuit is placed inside the conductive seat 4, thereby greatly improving the cooling effect of the present invention. To prevent leakage of the coolant 24, the present invention provides a water-gas plug 1 within the connector body 13. When the gun head 12 is connected to the connector body 13, the water-gas plug 1 is opened. When the gun head 12 is separated from the connector body 13, the water-gas plug 1 is closed, thereby preventing the coolant 24 in the through-hole 401 from flowing out and improving the stability of the present invention. The present invention also utilizes dual power cables to improve processing efficiency, utilizes two conductive nuts 6 to ensure power connectivity, improves connection stability and welding power, and effectively extends the service life of the welding gun. Separate water inlet and outlet are employed to improve cooling effect, reduce heat generation and energy consumption, and ensure conductive performance.
