DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The following will be combined with the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment proposes an automatic soldering machine, including a welding machine housing 1 with a working chamber and a welding workbench, a welding head assembly and an automatic wire feeding assembly arranged in the working chamber, the automatic wire feeding assembly including a wire feeding bracket 2 and a wire feeding drive wheel group and an anti-wire breaking detection unit arranged on the wire feeding bracket 2, the wire feeding drive wheel group having a gap for allowing the welding wire to pass through, the anti-wire breaking detection unit including a wire feeding anti-breaking assembly arranged on the wire feeding side of the wire feeding drive wheel group, the wire feeding anti-breaking assembly including a first anti-breaking base 3 and a first elastic switch 4 arranged on the first anti-breaking base 3, the first anti-breaking base 3 having a wire threading hole and a detection groove 5, the elastic detection head of the first elastic switch 4 extending into the detection groove 5, the welding wire passing through the wire threading hole and the part located in the detection groove 5 abuts against the elastic detection head of the first elastic switch 4 to detect whether the welding wire is broken.
[0026] In this embodiment, an automatic soldering machine is disclosed. The welding machine housing 1 has a working chamber, and a welding workbench is installed in the working chamber to fix the welding workpiece. A welding head assembly and an automatic wire feeding assembly are also installed on the welding machine housing 1. The welding head assembly can move on the welding machine housing 1, and specifically can be driven by a slide rail 23 to move horizontally, and the automatic wire feeding assembly feeds the welding wire to the welding head assembly to achieve welding. In order to detect the wire breakage in time, an anti-wire breakage detection unit is installed. Under the drive of the wire feeding drive wheel group, the welding wire is fed and moved. On the wire feeding side, a wire feeding bracket 2 is installed on the welding machine housing 1, and a first anti-breaking base 3 is installed on the wire feeding bracket 2, wherein a detection groove 5 is designed on the first anti-breaking base 3, and the wire threading hole on the first detection base passes through the detection groove 5. When the welding wire passes through the wire threading hole, part of it is exposed in the detection groove 5. The elastic detection head on the first elastic switch 4 will be pressed toward the welding wire in the detection groove 5 under the action of elastic force. When the welding wire breaks, the welding wire in the detection groove 5 is not enough to support the pressure of the elastic detection head of the first elastic switch 4, thereby sounding an alarm and detecting the breakage of the welding wire in time.
[0027] The anti-wire-break detection unit also includes a wire-breaking prevention component arranged on the wire-out side of the wire-feeding drive wheel group, the wire-breaking prevention component including a second anti-breaking base 6, a damping sleeve 7 slidingly arranged on the second anti-breaking base 6 along the wire-feeding direction, and a second elastic switch 8 arranged on the second anti-breaking base 6, the damping sleeve 7 having a damping hole for passing the welding wire, the damping sleeve 7 having a working section 9 and an alarm section 10 in sequence along the wire-feeding direction, the radius of the alarm section 10 being smaller than the radius of the working section 9, the wire-breaking prevention component also includes a detection spring 11, the detection spring 11 being sleeved on the damping sleeve 7 and one end acting on the second anti-breaking base 6 to make the damping sleeve 7 have a tendency to slide in the opposite direction of the wire-feeding direction, and the elastic detection head of the second elastic switch 8 abuts against the outer wall of the damping sleeve 7.
[0028] In this embodiment, a wire breaking prevention component is installed on the wire outlet side of the wire feeding drive wheel group, and the second anti-breaking base 6 is installed on the wire feeding bracket 2. A damping sleeve 7 is movably installed on the second anti-breaking base 6. The damping sleeve 7 will move upward under the action of the detection spring 11. When welding wire passes through, the welding wire will drive the damping sleeve 7 to move downward. At this time, the elastic detection head of the second elastic switch 8 will press on the working section 9 of the damping sleeve 7. The radius of the working section 9 is large. When the wire breaks, the damping sleeve 7 loses the friction tension of the welding wire and moves in the opposite direction under the action of the detection spring 11. The elastic detection head of the second elastic switch 8 abuts against the alarm section 10 with a smaller radius, thereby realizing an alarm. On the basis of the above embodiment, this embodiment further improves the accuracy and stability of wire break detection.

The pressure spring 15 is arranged on the wire feeding bracket 2, and the pressure wheel 13 is arranged on the pressure bracket 14 and forms a gap with the driving wheel 12 to accommodate the welding wire. One end of the pressure bracket 14 is hingedly arranged on the wire feeding bracket 2, and the pressure spring 15 acts on the other end of the pressure bracket 14 to clamp the welding wire between the pressure wheel 13 and the driving wheel 12.
[0030] In this embodiment, the welding wire is conveyed under the drive of the wire feeding drive wheel group. Specifically, the welding wire is clamped by the driving wheel 12 and the clamping wheel 13 for conveying. The clamping wheel 13 rotates on the clamping bracket 14. The clamping bracket 14 is moved away by a lever, and the clamping spring 15 applies a force to the clamping bracket 14 to make it swing around the hinge point, so that the clamping wheel 13 and the driving wheel 12 clamp the welding wire. The rotation of the driving wheel 12 drives the welding wire to move through friction.
