Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of connectors, in particular to a three-core electric connector for welding robots. BACKGROUND

[0002] The welding robot is an industrial robot engaged in welding, and a plurality of electrical modules are installed inside the welding robot. The plurality of electrical modules need to be connected and powered using an electric connector. The electric connector generally includes a male seat and a female seat. The male seat is inserted into the female seat to achieve electrical connection between the male seat and the female seat, thereby forming a complete circuit with the plurality of electrical modules. For example, to guide a current of 100A or more from the base of the robot along the robot arm to the welding workpiece installed at the end of the robot arm. Due to the large working current, the contact body of the connector overheats and the temperature is high. In order to ensure safe production, the contact body needs to be regularly disassembled and replaced for maintenance.

[0003] However, the existing electric connector has a structure limitation, and the contact body and the insulator are positioned and connected by interference fit. Therefore, during the movement of the robot, the wire may be dragged, which may cause poor contact between the wire and the contact body, and the contact body may fall off the insulator. In addition, since the contact body and the insulator are only interference fitted, during the process of taking and delivering the contact body, the original structure of the clamp plate needs to be removed, and the contact body is then dragged by the wire. Repeated taking and delivering may cause the insulator to deform, which may not completely fix the contact body, causing the connector to be scrapped, affecting the production progress, and the incomplete sealing of the contact body may even cause safety problems during production. In addition, since the welding robot needs to ensure stable current delivery during work, the electric connector also needs to ensure waterproof and sealing performance.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a three-core electric connector for welding robots to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following will be combined with the accompanying drawings for the embodiments of the present application to make a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application and are not all the embodiments.

Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", and the like are only used for differentiation in description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] In addition, the terms "horizontal", "vertical", and the like do not mean that the components must be absolutely horizontal or vertical, but can be slightly inclined. For example, "horizontal" only means that it is more horizontal relative to "vertical", and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly inclined.

[0034] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "arrangement", "installation", "communication", and "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, can be fixedly connected, can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; can be mechanically connected, can be electrically connected; can be directly connected, can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or can be the communication between two elements inside. 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.

[0035] According to a first aspect of the present application, a three-core electrical connector for a welding robot is provided, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The three-core electrical connector for a welding robot can be used in an industrial production line, for example, for current transmission of a welding robot. The three-core electrical connector for a welding robot includes a first connecting piece 1 and a second connecting piece 2.

[0036] In the following description, reference will be made toFigures 1 to 10 The detailed structure of the first connecting piece 1 and the second connecting piece 2 of the three-core electric connector for the welding robot is described in detail.

[0037] As shown in the embodiment, the first connecting piece 1 can be a plug in the connector, the second connecting piece 2 can be a socket in the connector, and the first connecting piece 1 and the second connecting piece 2 can be connected to the wire or the current transmission line, respectively, so that the current transmission is realized by the first connecting piece 1 and the second connecting piece 2. Figures 1 to 4

[0038] Specifically, the first connecting piece 1 and the second connecting piece 2 can each include a shell assembly and a contact body assembly, wherein the contact body assembly is detachably arranged inside the shell assembly. Since the welding robot needs to transmit a large current during work, the contact body assembly inside the connector will be heated and the temperature will rise. In order to ensure safe production, the contact body assembly needs to be regularly disassembled for replacement and maintenance, so the contact body assembly and the shell assembly need to be detachably mounted. The contact body assembly can have at least one positioning piece for clamping with the shell assembly, and the detachable mounting is realized by clamping.

[0039] The connection between the first connecting piece 1 and the second connecting piece 2 is provided with a first circular truncated cone-shaped sealing sleeve 5 with an inclined angle. The inclined angle here refers to the angle between the inner side wall of the first circular truncated cone-shaped sealing sleeve 5 and the center line of the first circular truncated cone-shaped sealing sleeve 5, that is, the angle between the extension line of the first angle line 502 and the extension line of the center line 503 in the cross-sectional view as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 11 The first circular truncated cone-shaped sealing sleeve 5 can be formed as a whole in a truncated cone shape structure, and the inside of the truncated cone shape structure is hollow, which is convenient for the contact body assembly to pass through. According to the structure design of the connection between the first connecting piece 1 and the second connecting piece 2, the inclined angle of the first circular truncated cone-shaped sealing sleeve 5 can provide better sealing effect when the socket and the plug of the connector are docked, thereby ensuring the waterproofness and the sealing property.

[0040] Preferably, the inclined angle of the first circular truncated cone-shaped sealing sleeve 5 can be 10-15 degrees, and the inclined angle of 10-15 degrees can accommodate various wire diameters of the welding robot.

[0041] Preferably, the first circular truncated cone-shaped sealing sleeve 5 can be provided with a fourth positioning piece 501, which can cooperate with the positioning groove opened in the inner side wall of the shell assembly, thereby ensuring that the first circular truncated cone-shaped sealing sleeve 5 is assembled in place.

[0042] ​The shell assembly comprises a tail protective cover 3 which is detachably arranged at the end of the first connecting piece 1 and the second connecting piece 2 away from the connecting position, and is used for protecting the end of the first connecting piece 1 and the second connecting piece 2 connected with the wire. When the contact body assembly needs to be replaced, the tail protective cover 3 can be detached to quickly replace the contact body assembly in the interior of the first connecting piece 1 and the interior of the second connecting piece 2. In addition, in order to ensure the sealing performance, the tail protective cover 3 is provided with a second circular truncated cone sealing sleeve 301 corresponding to the contact body assembly. The second circular truncated cone sealing sleeve 301 can be integrally formed as a circular truncated cone structure, and the interior of the circular truncated cone structure is hollow, facilitating the arrangement of the contact body assembly.

[0043] The welding robot three-core electric connector changes the internal structure of the shell assembly, so that the contact body assembly can not be pulled off from the insulator due to the traction generated by the movement of the robot arm, and the wire and the contact body assembly are not in poor contact. At the same time, the connecting structure of the tail is improved, so that when the contact body assembly needs to be replaced, the contact body assembly can be quickly taken out and replaced by detaching the tail protective cover 3, without the need to use external force to pull the contact body assembly, thereby avoiding the deformation of the insulator. At the same time, the welding robot three-core electric connector also improves the sealing structure through targeted structure design, and improves the sealing performance of the key connecting position.

[0044] In addition, referring to Figures 5 to 10 , in the embodiment, the welding robot three-core electric connector also improves and adjusts part of the structure.

[0045] Preferably, as Figure 4 shown, in the embodiment, three contact body assemblies are arranged in parallel and side by side in the interior of the first connecting piece 1 and the second connecting piece 2, and the three contact body assemblies are located in the same plane.

In addition, the three contact body assemblies can be respectively marked as U, V and ground, and are suitable for direct current or alternating current motors. The rectangular connector has a structure similar to a rectangle, and can be quickly connected, thereby saving installation space.

[0046] Preferably, the first circular truncated cone sealing sleeve 5 and the second circular truncated cone sealing sleeve 301 are arranged one by one corresponding to the contact body assembly.

[0048] Preferably, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in the embodiments, the inner side wall of the sealing body 6 is provided with a plurality of annular clamping positions 601 in the direction of butt joint (i.e. the direction in which the first connecting piece 1 or the second connecting piece 2 butt joint to each other), which are used for clamping the wire connected with the contact assembly, the outer side wall of the sealing body 6 is formed as a circular truncated cone structure, the inclination angle of the side wall of the circular truncated cone structure corresponds to the inclination angle of the side wall of the second circular truncated cone sealing sleeve 301, and since the second circular truncated cone sealing sleeve 301 is sleeved outside the sealing body 6, the inner side wall of the second circular truncated cone sealing sleeve 301 is formed as a circular truncated cone structure matched with the sealing body 6, and the inner side wall of the second circular truncated cone sealing sleeve 301 and the outer side wall of the sealing body 6 are pressed against each other to realize sealing.

[0049] Preferably, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in the embodiments, the inclination angle is 10-15 degrees, i.e. as shown in Figure 3 , the inclination angle 7 is 10-15 degrees. Since the sealing at the tail protection cover 3 is realized by extrusion of the sealing body 6 and the tail protection cover 3, the inclination angle 7 of 10-15 degrees can realize waterproofing of wires of various diameters.

[0050] Preferably, as shown in Figure 2 , in the embodiments, the shell assembly of the first connecting piece 1 further comprises a first insulator 101, the first insulator 101 is provided with a third circular truncated cone sealing sleeve 102 facing the end of the connection, the contact assembly is sleeved on the third circular truncated cone sealing sleeve 102, and the third circular truncated cone sealing sleeve 102 is sleeved on the first circular truncated cone sealing sleeve 5.

[0052] Preferably, in the embodiment, the shell assembly is made of hard plastic, which can be, for example, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polystyrene, etc. Since the contact body assembly needs to be replaced regularly, the shell assembly needs to have hardness and also needs to have a certain elasticity to avoid deformation caused by repeated dragging. The problem of repeated deformation caused by the shell assembly made of rubber in the prior art is solved.

[0053] Preferably, as shown in the embodiment, the shell assembly of the first connecting piece 1 further comprises a connecting shell 103.
