[0040] The following refers to Figures 1 to 7 A welding ground clamp according to an embodiment of the present application is described.

[0041] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, a welding ground clamp according to an embodiment of the present application comprises two clamping arms 100 hingedly connected at the middle, the two ends of the clamping arm 100 are clamping end 110 and pressing end 120 respectively, the two clamping arms 100 generate clamping force at the clamping end 110 through clamping spring 900, and pressing the pressing end 120 can make the two clamping ends 110 open; the clamping arm 100 is provided with wiring terminal 200 and conductive part arranged at the clamping end 110, the wiring terminal 200 comprises wiring post 210 and wiring ring 240 for connecting with the wire and capable of being sleeved into the wiring post 210, the wiring post 210 is provided with limiting part 220 capable of elastically extending out of the wiring post 210 and capable of being retracted into the wiring post 210, the limiting part 220 can limit the wiring ring 240 from exiting the wiring post 210 when it extends out, and the limiting part 220 is provided with pressing part 230 elastically pressing the wiring ring 240 when it extends out towards the wiring ring 240.

[0042] The wiring ring 240 can be quickly sleeved in by pressing the limiting part 220, and the exiting of the wiring ring 240 is limited, and the wiring ring 240 and the wiring post 210 can maintain good electrical communication through the elastic pressing of the wiring ring 240 by the pressing part 230, and the reliability and stability of the electrical connection are higher.

[0043] Specifically, the wiring ring 240 is connected with the wire of the welding machine through soldering, winding and the like, when wiring, the limiting part 220 is pressed inwards to be retracted into the wiring post 210, the wiring ring 240 passes through the limiting part 220 and is sleeved into the root of the wiring post 210, the limiting part 220 is released and pops out, the limiting part 220 limits the exiting of the wiring ring 240, and at the same time, the pressing part 230 elastically presses the wiring ring 240 to maintain the compactness of the contact, and at the same time, the wiring ring 240 can rotate around the wiring post 210, and when the welding ground clamp adjusts the angle, it can still maintain good electrical connection effect.

[0044] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 , Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the two clamping arms 100 are relatively distributed, the middle part extends inwards to the hinged part, the hinged part is connected through the rotating shaft 910, and the clamping spring 900 is a torsional spring arranged at the rotating shaft 910, so that when the two pressing ends 120 are pressed, the two clamping ends 110 can be away from each other and open.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, the pressing end 120 is sleeved with an insulating sleeve to facilitate the pressing operation of the welding ground clamp by the operator.

[0046] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present application, the wiring post 210 is fixedly connected to the clamping arm 100 and connected with the conductive part, the clamping arm 100 is made of conductive material such as copper, iron and the like, the wiring ring 240 is elastically pressed to the root of the wiring post 210 and abuts against the clamping arm 100 to maintain good electrical connection effect.

[0047] Specifically, the terminal post 210 is mounted to the clamping arm 100 through a connecting post 250, and the metal plate 500 is fixed, and the connecting post 250 can be mounted to the clamping arm 100 through screws, bolts, or riveting structures.

[0048] It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present application, a receiving step surface corresponding to the terminal ring 240 can be arranged on the terminal post 210, so that the terminal ring 240 is pressed to the receiving step surface of the terminal post 210, and the electrical connection also has higher reliability.

[0049] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , in some embodiments of the present application, the terminal end 200 is arranged on both clamping arms 100 to facilitate wiring.

[0050] As shown in Figure 4 , in some embodiments of the present application, the terminal post 210 is provided with an inner groove 211 extending in the radial direction thereof, and the limiting member 220 is slidably arranged in the inner groove 211. The inner groove 211 is provided with a limiting spring 221 capable of driving the limiting member 220 to elastically extend out. The limiting member 220 can be kept in the state of extending out of the terminal post 210 by the limiting spring 221. Pressing the limiting member 220 can make it completely retract into the terminal post 210, so as to facilitate the installation of the terminal ring 240.

[0051] Specifically, in order to achieve better electrical connection effect, the terminal ring 240 is arranged to be tightly fitted with the terminal post 210 or only have a small gap. When the limiting member 220 is completely retracted into the terminal post 210, the terminal ring 240 can be sleeved into the terminal post 210 without obstacles. After the terminal ring 240 passes through the limiting member 220, the limiting member 220 can automatically pop out under the action of the limiting spring 221, forming a limiting structure.

[0052] As shown in Figure 4 , in some embodiments of the present application, the limiting member 220 is provided with two limiting members 220 distributed on both sides of the terminal post 210, so as to balance the limiting effect and the pressing effect of the pressing member 230.

[0053] It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present application, the limiting member 220 can be one, three or more, which will not be described in detail here.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, the outer end of the limiting member 220 is a sharp structure, so as to facilitate its extension out of the inner groove 211.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, a limiting structure capable of limiting the limiting member 220 from completely sliding out of the inner groove 211 is arranged between the limiting member 220 and the inner groove 211, so as to avoid the failure of the limiting member 220 completely separating from the terminal post 210.

[0056] Specifically, the limiting structure can be a limiting step structure, a limiting pin, etc., such as setting an outwardly protruding step at the tail end of the limiting member 220, and setting an inwardly protruding step at the opening of the inner groove 211. The two steps cooperate with each other to limit the limiting member 220 from completely separating from the inner groove 211.

[0057] It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, the limit member 220 can also be configured to be rotatably installed on the outer wall of the terminal post 210, and a recess corresponding to the limit member 220 is provided on the outer wall of the terminal post 210. One end of the limit member 220 can be rotatably connected to the terminal post 210, so that the limit member 220 can be rotated to extend outside the terminal post 210, or rotated into the recess, thereby meeting the avoidance and blocking requirements of the terminal ring 240.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the limiting member 220 is provided with a slide groove 222 extending along the axial direction of the terminal 210, and the pressing member 230 can be slidably set in the slide groove 222. A pressing spring 231 is configured in the slide groove 222 to drive the pressing member 230 to elastically extend toward the terminal ring 240. The pressing spring 231 can make the pressing member 230 elastically pressed against the terminal ring 240, thereby maintaining a better electrical contact effect.

[0059] Specifically, the terminal 210 , the limiting member 220 , and the pressing member 230 are all conductive components, such as metal parts, to maintain the conductive performance of the entire mechanism.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, the pressing member 230 may be a copper column, a copper block, etc., and the abutting end of the pressing member 230 is provided with a smooth transition structure such as a hemispherical shape, so that the wiring ring 240 can rotate smoothly.

[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, when the pressing member 230 presses the wiring ring 240, the pressing member 230 is partially located in the sliding groove 222, and the pressing member 230 prevents the limiting member 220 from sliding into the inner groove 211, thereby reducing the situation where the limiting member 220 accidentally slides into the inner groove 211 and causes the wiring structure to fail.

[0062] It is understandable that in some embodiments of the present invention, the pressing member 230 may be a metal spring disposed on the limiting member 220 , such as a metal spring bent into a V-shape, which can also achieve the effect of pressing the wiring ring 240 .

[0063] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the welding grounding clamp also includes a clamping locking mechanism, which includes a first connecting member 310 and a second connecting member 320. One end of the first connecting member 310 can be rotatably connected to one of the pressing ends 120, and the other end of the first connecting member 310 can be rotatably connected to one end of the second connecting member 320. The other end of the second connecting member 320 can be rotatably connected to the other pressing end 120. The first connecting member 310 is slidably provided with a locking member 330. When the two clamping arms 100 are opened to the set position, the locking member 330 can slide to cooperate with the second connecting member 320 to lock the relative position of the first connecting member 310 and the second connecting member 320, thereby positioning the two clamping arms 100 in the set position, thereby locking the position of the two clamping ends 110. Even if encountering vibration and impact, the grounding clamp is not easy to fall off, thereby improving the reliability of grounding.

[0064] Specifically, the first connecting member 310 , the second connecting member 320 and the two pressing ends 120 form a four-bar linkage mechanism, so the positions of the two pressing ends 120 can be locked by simply locking the first connecting member 310 and the second connecting member 320 .

[0065] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first connecting member 310 and the second connecting member 320 are respectively provided with guide grooves extending in the up and down directions, and the locking member 330 includes two plates distributed on both sides of the first connecting member 310 and the second connecting member 320, and the two plates are connected by a connecting portion, and the connecting portion is placed in the guide groove so that the two plates can slide in the up and down directions.

[0066] Specifically, the first connecting member 310 and the second connecting member 320 are both plate structures. When the two plates of the locking member 330 are respectively placed on both sides of the junction of the first connecting member 310 and the second connecting member 320, the rotation of the first connecting member 310 and the second connecting member 320 can be restricted, thereby achieving a locking effect.

[0067] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, when the two clamping arms 100 are opened to the set position, the first connecting member 310 and the second connecting member 320 are distributed in a straight line, and the locking member 330 can be slidably mounted on the end of the second connecting member 320 to limit the relative rotation of the first connecting member 310 and the second connecting member 320, thereby positioning the two clamping arms 100 at the set position.

[0068] Specifically, the locking member 330 is provided with a recess corresponding to the second connecting member 320, so that the locking member 330 can slide to the end of the second connecting member 320 and be sleeved on the outside of the second connecting member 320, thereby limiting the relative rotation of the first connecting member 310 and the second connecting member 320.

[0069] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the locking member 330 can be fixed to the first connecting member 310 and the second connecting member 320 respectively through a pin 340 , thereby positioning the locking member 330 .

[0070] Specifically, the locking member 330 , the first connecting member 310 and the second connecting member 320 are provided with corresponding latch holes.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first connecting member 310 or the second connecting member 320 is provided with a plurality of pin holes (not shown in the figure) spaced apart along the up and down directions. By inserting the pins 340 into different pin holes, the locking position of the two pressing ends 120 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the clamping position of the two clamping ends 110 to adapt to clamped objects of different thicknesses.

[0072] It is understandable that in some embodiments of the present invention, the first connecting member 310 or the second connecting member 320 can be telescopically connected to the pressing end 120 to facilitate adjustment of the clamping position of the two clamping ends 110 when the first connecting member 310 and the second connecting member 320 are locked.

[0073] Specifically, a rotating seat can be rotatably set at the pressing end 120, and the rotating seat is provided with a through hole for the first connecting member 310 or the second connecting member 320 to slide. The rotating seat and the first connecting member 310 or the second connecting member 320 are positioned relative to each other through mechanisms such as ratchets and latches, thereby realizing the adjustment of the connection position of the first connecting member 310 or the second connecting member 320.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, a magnet is provided in the locking member 330, and the first connecting member 310 and the second connecting member 320 are made of magnetic material. The locking member 330 can be fixed to the first connecting member 310 or the second connecting member 320 by magnetic attraction, so that the locking member 330 can be temporarily fixed. In particular, after the first connecting member 310 and the second connecting member 320 are unlocked, the locking member 330 can be temporarily fixed to the upper position of the first connecting member 310 by magnetic attraction to prevent it from accidentally falling and locking the second connecting member 320, affecting the normal opening of the welding grounding clamp.

[0075] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the clamping end 110 is provided with an extension structure protruding toward the inner side of the clamping, and the conductive member is a long metal plate 500, which is arched toward the inner side of the clamping and wrapped around the extension structure. Both ends of the metal plate 500 are fixed to the clamping end 110, and a clamping conductive part is formed by the arched part of the metal plate 500, thereby improving the reliability of the clamping conduction.

[0076] Of course, in a specific implementation process, the conductive member can also be arranged flatly on the clamping end 110, which can also meet the conductivity requirements.

[0077] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the extension structure includes two inner extension arms 510 respectively located on both sides of the clamping end 110 and protruding toward the inner side of the clamping end, and a support shaft 520 is arranged between the two inner extension arms 510. The metal plate 500 extends from the clamping end 110 to the support shaft 520 and bypasses the outer side of the support shaft 520 and then returns to the clamping end 110, thereby forming an arched metal plate 500.

[0078] Specifically, the middle part of the metal plate 500 is fixed to the clamping end 110 through the connecting column 250, and then the end extends toward the support shaft 520, bypasses the outside of the support shaft 520 and returns to the clamping end 110, and is fixed to the clamping end 110 through a clamping mechanism, a screw mechanism, a welding structure, etc.

[0079] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the inner extension arm 510 is arranged at the outer edge of the clamping end 110, and auxiliary arms 610 protruding toward the inner side of the clamping are respectively arranged on both sides of the middle part of the clamping end 110, and an auxiliary shaft 620 is arranged between the two auxiliary arms 610. The two ends of the metal plate 500 are respectively fixed to the clamping end 110, and the middle part of the metal plate 500 is fixed by the connecting column 250 and electrically connected. The support shaft 520 and the auxiliary shaft 620 are respectively located on both sides of the connecting column 250 to form a double arch structure, which improves the compactness of the mechanism. The metal plate 500 has good stability, which improves the reliability of the electrical connection.

[0080] Specifically, the height of the auxiliary arm 610 is smaller than the height of the inner extension arm 510 to avoid affecting the normal connection function of the inner extension arm 510.

[0081] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the width of the metal plate 500 corresponds to the inner width of the two inner extension arms 510; the inner width of the two inner extension arms 510 of one clamping end 110 is greater than the outer width of the two inner extension arms 510 of the other clamping end 110, so that the arched metal plate 500 at at least one clamping end 110 is in a state of being directly clamped, so that it maintains good electrical contact with the clamped object.

[0082] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, the inner side width of the two inner extension arms 510 of the lower clamping end 110 is greater than the outer side width of the two inner extension arms 510 of the upper clamping end 110, forming a structure in which the inner extension arms 510 are staggered, reducing the influence of the inner extension arms 510 on the clamping conductive structure, so that the metal plate 500 on the support shaft 520 of the lower clamping end 110 is clamped and pressed as a whole by the extension structure of the upper clamping end 110, and can maintain good electrical contact with the clamped object.

[0083] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 , Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the metal plates 500 of the two clamping ends 110 are electrically connected by metal braid 530, so that the upper and lower metal plates 500 are electrically connected, further improving the reliability of the electrical connection.

[0084] Specifically, the metal braid 530 is woven from conductive metal wires such as copper wires, etc., has a certain flexibility, and has good electrical conductivity, and is used to connect the metal plates 500 of the two clamping ends 110, and is not prone to breaking after long-term use, and has high reliability. In particular, due to the shape of the clamped object, the welding ground clamp may only have one clamping end 110 in good contact with the clamped object. At this time, the metal braid 530 can be used to electrically connect the two clamping ends 110, so that whether the welding machine is connected to the upper or lower terminal 200, it can be electrically connected to the clamped object, thereby improving the reliability of use.

[0085] It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present application, the metal braid 530 can also be replaced by a metal spring, which can also meet the electrical connection requirements of the upper and lower metal plates 500, and also provides a reset elastic force. At this time, the metal spring is arranged on the pressing end 120 to provide an elastic force for clamping the welding ground clamp.

[0086] As shown in the drawings, Figure 6 , Figure 7 In some embodiments of the present application, the support shaft 520 has an eccentric structure in cross section, and the support shaft 520 is rotatably arranged on the inner extension arm 510. The support shaft 520 is provided with a driving structure capable of driving the rotation thereof. By rotating the support shaft 520, the metal plate 500 can be protruded outward by the eccentric protruding part, improving the electrical contact effect with the clamped object. And by rotating the support shaft 520, the metal plate 500 can be tensioned, improving the reliability of the electrical connection.

[0087] Specifically, after frequent clamping, the fixed structure of the metal plate 500 is prone to looseness, or the metal plate 500 is stretched and lengthened (generally, the copper plate has a certain ductility), at this time, the gap between the metal plate 500 and the support shaft 520, the connecting column 250, etc. is prone to be too large, resulting in poor clamping effect or unstable electrical connection. By rotating the support shaft 520, the metal plate 500 is pulled out by the eccentric convex part, the metal plate 500 is tightened, the compactness of the structure is improved, the welding grounding clamp maintains good clamping effect and electrical connection effect, and the service life of the welding grounding clamp is prolonged.

[0088] As shown in Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present application, the driving structure is an internal hexagonal hole 521 arranged at the end of the support shaft 520, so as to facilitate the rotation of the support shaft 520 by an internal hexagonal wrench.

[0089] It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present application, the driving structure can also be a knob, a cross slot, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0090] Of course, the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or replacements without departing from the spirit of the present application, and these equivalent modifications or replacements are all included in the scope defined by the claims of the present application.
