[0029] Combine the following Figures 1 to 9The TIG welding gun for all-position additive repair of the inner wall of a small-diameter threaded hole provided by an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0030] In the embodiments of the invention, reference is made to Figures 1 to 3 A TIG welding gun 100 for all-position additive repair of the inner wall of a small-diameter threaded hole comprises a welding gun head 1, a radial sliding table 2, a rotary drive device 3 and an axial drive device 4. The radial sliding table 2 is connected to the welding gun head 1, and the radial sliding table 2 is suitable for driving the welding gun head 1 to move radially; the rotary drive device 3 is connected to the radial sliding table 2, and the rotary drive device 3 is suitable for driving the radial sliding table 2 to rotate along its own axial direction; the axial drive device 4 is connected to the rotary drive device 3, and the axial drive device 4 is suitable for driving the rotary device to move along its own axial direction.

[0031] The welding gun head 1 is a direct execution part of the welding operation, which is responsible for generating an arc to melt the welding wire 76 and the base material to achieve welding. In this solution, the welding gun head 1 is connected to the radial sliding table 2 and can move with the movement of the radial sliding table 2, thereby reaching different positions of the inner wall of the threaded hole.

[0032] The radial sliding table 2 is a movable mechanical structure, connected to the welding gun head 1, and can drive the welding gun head 1 to move in the radial direction (i.e., the direction perpendicular to the axis of the threaded hole), so that the welding gun head 1 can reach different radial positions of the inner wall of the threaded hole, meeting the needs of repairing various parts of the inner wall of the threaded hole.

[0033] The rotary drive device 3 is connected to the radial sliding table 2, and drives the radial sliding table 2 (and the welding gun head 1) to rotate along its own axis through its driving mechanism (such as a motor, a reducer, a transmission shaft, etc.), so that the welding gun head 1 can rotate 360° around the axis of the threaded hole, ensuring uniform welding repair of all positions of the inner wall of the threaded hole.

[0034] The axial drive device 4 is connected to the rotary drive device 3, and drives the rotary drive device 3 (and the radial slide table 2 and the welding gun head 1) to move along its own axial direction through its internal mechanical structure (such as motor, lead screw, guide rail, etc.), so that the welding gun head 1 can penetrate into different depths of the threaded hole and realize the repair operation of the full depth of the inner wall of the threaded hole.

[0035] In the present application, through the coordinated action of the radial sliding table 2, the rotary drive device 3 and the axial drive device 4, the welding gun head 1 can perform welding operations at any position of the inner wall of the threaded hole, thereby achieving comprehensive and accurate additive repair of the damaged area. Each component of the welding gun is designed as a movable component, which can be flexibly adjusted and positioned according to different welding requirements. This high flexibility ensures the accuracy and efficiency of the welding operation and improves the welding quality.

[0036] The present application sets a radial sliding table 2 connected to the welding gun head 1, and the radial sliding table 2 drives the welding gun head 1 to move radially; sets a rotary drive device 3 connected to the radial sliding table 2, and the rotary drive device 3 drives the radial sliding table 2 to rotate along its own axial direction; sets an axial drive device 4 connected to the rotary drive device 3, and the axial drive device 4 drives the rotary device to move along its own axial direction; wherein, the radial sliding table 2 realizes the radial movement of the welding gun head 1, the rotary drive device 3 realizes the rotary movement of the welding gun head 1, and the axial drive device 4 realizes the axial movement of the welding gun head 1, thereby effectively realizing the movement of the welding gun head 1 in multiple directions, so that it can perform additive repair operations on damaged areas at all positions on the inner wall of a small-diameter threaded hole, and has the ability to be used in more complex working conditions.

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the welding gun head 1 has a connecting end and a welding end that are relatively arranged. The connecting end is connected to the radial sliding table 2. The welding end is provided with a tungsten electrode 11, a wire feeding hole 12 and a plurality of gas outlet holes 13. The plurality of gas outlet holes 13 are arranged around the circumference of the tungsten electrode 11. The wire feeding hole 12 is inclined toward the tungsten electrode 11. A gas channel 14 and a wire feeding pipe 15 are opened in the welding gun head 1 along its own axial direction. The gas channel 14 is connected to the gas outlet hole 13, and the wire feeding pipe 15 is connected to the wire feeding hole 12.

[0038] It is understandable that the welding gun head 1 uses a copper electrode rod, which has a connecting section and a welding end, and the connecting end is used to connect with the radial sliding table 2 to fix the welding gun head 1 and transmit power. The connecting end drives the welding gun head 1 to move radially through the radial sliding table 2, thereby adapting to the needs of repairing threaded holes of different diameters.

[0039] The welding end is the actual welding part of the welding gun head 1, which includes a tungsten electrode 11, a wire feeding hole 12 and a plurality of gas outlet holes 13. The tungsten electrode 11 can generate an arc and is a key component in the welding process. The wire feeding hole 12 is used to deliver the welding wire 76. The wire feeding hole 12 is tilted toward the tungsten electrode 11, which helps the welding wire 76 to be accurately delivered to the welding area and improves the welding accuracy. A plurality of gas outlet holes 13 are arranged around the circumference of the tungsten electrode 11 for delivering shielding gas to form a shielding gas barrier around the tungsten electrode 11 to prevent the welding area from being contaminated and improve the welding quality.

[0040] The gas channel 14 opened inside the welding gun head 1 along the axial direction thereof is used to deliver the shielding gas to the welding area. The wire feeding pipe 15 opened inside the welding gun head 1 along the axial direction thereof is used to deliver the welding wire 76 to the welding area. The gas channel 14 is connected with the gas outlet 13 to ensure that the shielding gas can be evenly ejected from the gas outlet 13 to form a protective layer; the wire feeding pipe 15 is connected with the wire feeding hole 12 to ensure that the welding wire 76 can be smoothly delivered to the welding area.

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, a gas-water distribution chamber 16 is provided at the end of the welding gun head 1 near the connection end, and the gas-water distribution chamber 16 is respectively connected to an external gas supply device and an external water cooling device to provide protective gas for the gas channel 14 and provide cooling for the welding gun head 1.

[0042] It can be understood that the air-water distribution chamber 16 is a component integrating air supply and cooling functions, and is connected to an external air supply device and an external water cooling device respectively.

[0043] The gas-water distribution chamber 16 can provide protective gas for the gas channel 14 inside the welding gun head 1 to ensure that the weld area is not contaminated during welding. At the same time, it provides cooling for the welding gun head 1 to prevent the welding gun from overheating due to high temperature, thereby extending the service life of the welding gun and ensuring welding quality.

[0044] The external gas supply device delivers shielding gas to the gas channel 14 inside the welding gun head 1 through the gas-water distribution chamber 16. The shielding gas is evenly distributed around the welding area through the gas outlet 13 on the welding gun head 1 to form a protective layer to prevent the weld area from being oxidized or contaminated by other impurities during welding.

[0045] The external water cooling device provides cooling water to the welding gun head 1 through the air-water distribution chamber 16. The cooling water enters the cooling water channel inside the welding gun head 1 through the water inlet groove 162, absorbs the heat generated by the welding gun during operation, and then is discharged through the water outlet groove 163, taking away the heat and keeping the welding gun within a safe operating temperature range.

The plurality of sealing grooves 164 are arranged alternately with the air inlet groove 161, the water inlet groove 162 and the water outlet groove 163. The air inlet groove 161 is connected to the gas channel 14 through the air inlet hole 161a. The water inlet groove 162 and the water outlet groove 163 are annular and connected to each other. The sealing groove 164 is suitable for installing a sealing ring 6 to seal and space the air inlet groove 161, the water inlet groove 162 and the water outlet groove 163.

The inner wall surface of the air-water distribution sleeve 5 abuts against the plurality of sealing rings 6. The two ends of the air-water distribution sleeve 5 along the axial direction are rotatably connected to the welding gun head 1 through bearings 201.
