Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of welding processing technology, specifically a rotary device for welding and processing electronic expansion valve sleeves. Background Technology
[0002] An electronic expansion valve is a throttling element that allows refrigerant flow into a refrigeration unit according to a preset program. The electronic expansion valve mainly consists of an electronic expansion valve sleeve, an electronic expansion valve seat, an electronic expansion valve vertical connector, and an electronic expansion valve horizontal connector. The electronic expansion valve sleeve is primarily connected to the electronic expansion valve seat by welding. During the welding process, a rotating device is typically used to rotate the semi-finished electronic expansion valve while the welding torch remains stationary to weld the connection between the sleeve and the valve seat.
[0003] In the prior art, a Chinese patent discloses a self-rotating device for welding electronic expansion valve sleeves (publication number: CN221755220U), which mainly realizes the self-rotation function of the electronic expansion valve semi-finished product. The welding torch can be fixed and stationary, effectively avoiding a series of problems caused by the tangling of the welding torch cable. The welding of electronic expansion valve sleeves is convenient and quick. Moreover, during the self-rotation process of the electronic expansion valve semi-finished product, there is no loosening or misalignment of the electronic expansion valve sleeve. The assembly accuracy of the electronic expansion valve sleeve and the electronic expansion valve seat is high, and the welding quality is high.
[0004] However, there are still corresponding drawbacks in actual use: the sleeve and seat of the electronic expansion valve are usually welded using TIG welding. During welding, inert gas is sprayed to protect the welding area and prevent tungsten electrode oxidation, molten metal oxidation and porosity by isolating air. When the above-mentioned patented technology is used, the welding torch position is fixed. During the welding process of the sleeve and seat of the electronic expansion valve semi-finished product, when the inert gas output suddenly fails and the jetting is interrupted, it is not convenient to protect the sleeve and seat of the electronic expansion valve. It is easy for the welding torch to continue welding, and the electronic expansion valve sleeve will be damaged and scrapped, which reduces the welding quality and the practicality of the device.

[0014] Beneficial effects Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention, through the coordinated design of protective mechanisms and a support shell, allows the welding torch to be inserted into the interface for welding the electronic expansion valve sleeve and valve seat. The outer surface of the welding torch fits snugly against the inner cavity of the interface, effectively sealing it. During welding, the torch sprays inert protective gas to protect the welding area. If the inert protective gas spraying suddenly malfunctions and is interrupted, the pressure of the inert gas entering the protective shell decreases, and the disengagement mechanism automatically activates, causing the support shell to lock in place during rotation. Simultaneously, the support shell, with the assistance of a clamping mechanism, moves the electronic expansion valve sleeve and valve seat away from the welding torch, ensuring that the electronic expansion valve sleeve and valve seat are properly aligned with the welding torch. The welding torch can be separated and automatically disconnect the power supply to the electronic expansion valve sleeve and valve seat, thereby protecting the electronic expansion valve sleeve from damage and scrapping. This facilitates the re-welding of the electronic expansion valve sleeve, reduces economic losses, and improves welding effect and equipment practicality. It solves the problem in the existing technology where the welding torch position is fixed. During the welding of the electronic expansion valve semi-finished sleeve and valve seat, when the inert gas output suddenly fails and the jetting is interrupted, it is not convenient to protect the electronic expansion valve sleeve and valve seat. This can easily lead to continuous welding by the welding torch, damage and scrapping of the electronic expansion valve sleeve, and reduced welding quality and equipment practicality.
[0015] 2. Through the coordinated design of structures such as the moving block and the alarm mechanism, when one end of the docking rod and the semi-annular protrusion press against each other to push the moving block to move, the moving block moves and causes the first contact piece and the second contact piece to fit together. Thus, the first contact piece, the second contact piece, and the sounding alarm form a complete circuit, which promptly issues an alarm to the operator to prompt the equipment to be repaired, thereby improving the efficiency of welding processing and reducing the downtime of equipment failure.

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the present invention provides a rotating device for welding and processing electronic expansion valve sleeves, including a frame 1, a protective mechanism 2 disposed on the upper surface of the frame 1, a support shell 3 disposed in the lower part of the inner cavity of the protective mechanism 2 for placing the electronic expansion valve seat, and a drive motor 4 vertically fixed in the frame 1. The drive motor 4 is a prior art device with a built-in overload protection mechanism, and its structure and principle will not be described in detail here. The protective mechanism 2 includes a protective shell 21 fixed to the upper surface of the frame 1 by a support rod. The side wall of the protective shell 21 may also be provided with a glass observation window. A rotating shell 22 is movably installed in the bottom opening of the protective shell 21 by a bearing seal. A disengagement mechanism 5 is provided in the lower part of the inner cavity of the rotating shell 22 and the inner cavity of the protective shell 21 to drive the support shell 3 to separate the electronic expansion valve seat and sleeve from the welding torch. A sealing cover plate 23 is hinged to the top opening of the protective shell 21. A clamping mechanism 6 is provided at the center of the bottom surface of the sealing cover plate 23 to limit the expansion valve sleeve. An alarm mechanism 7 is provided on the disengagement mechanism 5 to alert the operator. The protective shell 21 has a mating interface 24 adapted to the welding torch on the right side of its inner cavity. The mating interface 24 can also be used to fit a sealing sleeve on the outer surface of the welding torch. The lower part of the inner cavity of the protective shell 21 has a vent hole 25 for the operation of the inert gas flow-driven release mechanism 5. The bottom surface of the support shell 3 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the rotating shell 22, and the top end of the output shaft of the drive motor 4 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface of the rotating shell 22. The front surface of the outer surface of the protective shell 21 is provided with a spring buckle, and the front surface of the sealing cover plate 23 is provided with a slot adapted to the spring buckle.
[0020] During use, when the welding torch is inserted into the interface 24 to weld the electronic expansion valve sleeve and valve seat, the outer surface of the welding torch fits against the inner cavity of the interface 24, sealing the interface 24. During welding, the welding torch can spray inert protective gas to protect the welding area. When the inert protective gas spraying suddenly fails and is interrupted, the pressure of the inert gas input into the protective shell 21 decreases, and the disengagement mechanism 5 can operate automatically, which can lock the support shell 3 in an emergency during rotation. At the same time, the support shell 3 is driven to move the electronic expansion valve sleeve and valve seat away from the welding torch under the cooperation of the clamping mechanism 6, so that the electronic expansion valve sleeve and valve seat are separated from the welding torch. It can also automatically disconnect the power supply on the electronic expansion valve sleeve and valve seat, thereby protecting the electronic expansion valve sleeve and preventing it from being damaged and scrapped. This facilitates the re-welding of the electronic expansion valve sleeve, reduces economic losses, and improves the welding effect and the practicality of the equipment.
[0021] It should be noted that when the support shell 3 is locked in an emergency during rotation, and the electronic expansion valve sleeve and valve seat are moved away from the welding torch with the cooperation of the clamping mechanism 6, the alarm mechanism 7 can be activated to promptly issue an alarm to the operator to prompt the equipment to be repaired, thereby improving the efficiency of welding processing and reducing the downtime of equipment failure.
[0022] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the release mechanism 5 includes a locking crossbar 51 that moves up and down in the upper part of the inner cavity of the rotating shell 22, a locking toothed ring 52 that is circumferentially fixed in the lower part of the inner cavity of the protective shell 21, locking toothed grooves 53 that are symmetrically opened on the bottom surfaces of the left and right ends of the locking crossbar 51 and movably connected to the locking toothed ring 52, a semi-annular protrusion 54 fixed on the right side of the lower part of the inner cavity of the protective shell 21 above the locking toothed ring 52, a moving block 55 that slides left and right in the middle of the upper surface of the locking crossbar 51, two connecting rods 56 that are symmetrically fixed on the left and right sides of the moving block 55 and penetrate the two ends of the locking crossbar 51 respectively, and a pneumatic mechanism 8 that is set in the lower part of the inner cavity of the rotating shell 22 and communicates with the vent 25 for inert gas flow to drive the locking crossbar 51 to move upward. One end of the docking rod 56 is movably connected to the semi-annular protrusion 54. Two sets of first compression springs 57 for driving the locking crossbar 51 to move downward are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the top surface of the inner cavity of the rotating shell 22. A connecting block fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface of the support shell 3 is vertically slidably installed on the top surface of the moving block 55. A sliding groove is opened laterally on the upper surface of the locking crossbar 51. The front and rear side walls of the moving block 55 are slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the inner cavity of the sliding groove. A second compression spring 58 is sleeved on the outer surface of the docking rod 56. The two ends of the second compression spring 58 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the moving block 55 and one side of the inner cavity of the sliding groove, respectively. Two positioning rods are symmetrically fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the moving block 55. Two positioning grooves are symmetrically opened on the left and right sides of the top surface of the inner cavity of the rotating shell 22. The positioning rods are movably connected to the positioning grooves.
[0023] When the inert protective gas injection suddenly fails and is interrupted, the pressure of the inert gas in the protective housing 21 decreases. Driven by the elastic force of the first compression spring 57, the locking crossbar 51 moves down, causing the locking tooth groove 53 to engage with the locking tooth ring 52. This allows the rotating housing 22 to drive the support housing 3 to stop rotating the electronic expansion valve sleeve and valve seat. At the same time, when the locking crossbar 51 moves down, it causes the docking rod 56 to move down. When one end of the docking rod 56 is pressed against the semi-annular protrusion 54, it can push the moving block 55 to move. The movement of the moving block 55 can drive the support housing 3 to move through the connecting block. When the support housing 3 moves, it cooperates with the pressing mechanism 6 to drive the electronic expansion valve sleeve and valve seat to move away from the welding torch.
[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, the pneumatic mechanism 8 includes a venting shell 81 fixed in the middle of the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the rotating shell 22, two connecting pipes 82 symmetrically connected to the left and right sides of the venting shell 81, an annular shell 83 fixedly sleeved on the lower part of the outer surface of the rotating shell 22 and connected to the inner cavity of the connecting pipes 82, and a lifting shell 84 that moves up and down in a sealed manner at the top opening of the venting shell 81. Among them, the lower part of the inner cavity of the protective shell 21 is provided with an annular groove, the annular shell 83 is connected to the inner cavity of the annular groove through a bearing, the inner cavity of the annular groove is connected to the inner cavity of the vent hole 25, and the top surface of the lifting shell 84 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface of the locking crossbar 51. The pneumatic mechanism 8 also includes an expansion shell 85 connected to the top opening of the ventilation shell 81, an air inlet 86 circumferentially opened on the outer surface of the lifting shell 84, a telescopic bellows 87 connected to the bottom surface of the lifting shell 84, and an exhaust channel 88 circumferentially opened at the bottom of the rotating shell 22. The upper part of the lifting shell 84 penetrates the top surface of the expansion shell 85, the bottom end of the telescopic bellows 87 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the vent shell 81, and the inner cavity of the exhaust channel 88 is connected to the lower part of the inner cavity of the telescopic bellows 87.
[0025] During use, the inert protective gas sprayed from the welding torch before welding enters the protective shell 21. With the continuous input of inert gas, the inert gas enters the inner cavity of the ventilation shell 81 through the vent hole 25, the annular shell 83, and the connecting pipe 82. The inert gas can push the lifting shell 84 to drive the locking crossbar 51 to move the locking tooth groove 53 upward and separate it from the locking tooth ring 52. When the locking crossbar 51 moves upward, it drives the docking rod 56 to separate from the semi-annular protrusion 54. Under the elastic force of the two second compression springs 58, the moving block 55 drives the electronic expansion valve sleeve and valve seat to approach the welding torch through the support shell 3. At the same time, after the lifting shell 84 enters the expansion shell 85, the inert gas is discharged to the outside of the equipment through the air inlet 86, the telescopic bellows 87, and the exhaust channel 88.
[0026] like Figure 6 As shown, the clamping mechanism 6 includes a mounting shell 61 that slides up and down at the center of the bottom surface of the sealing cover plate 23, a screw 62 threadedly installed at the center of the top surface of the sealing cover plate 23 for driving the mounting shell 61 to move up and down, a cone block 63 disposed in the inner cavity of the mounting shell 61, a connecting shell 64 disposed below the mounting shell 61 and fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom surface of the cone block 63, a set of balls 65 circumferentially and equidistantly disposed on the top surface of the inner cavity of the mounting shell 61, a first contact block 66 fixed in the middle of the top surface of the inner cavity of the mounting shell 61, and a second contact block 67 fixed in the top surface of the inner cavity of the connecting shell 64 and penetrating to the upper surface of the cone block 63. The bottom surface of the first contact block 66 is movably connected to the upper surface of the second contact block 67, the upper surface of the cone block 63 is movably connected to the ball 65, an electrode post is fixedly installed on one side of the upper surface of the sealing cover plate 23, the electrode post is connected to the first contact block 66 by a wire, and the inner cavity of the mounting shell 61 is inverted cone shape.
[0027] In use, when one end of the connecting rod 56 is pressed against the semi-annular protrusion 54, the moving block 55 drives the support shell 3 to move and cooperate with the clamping mechanism 6 to move the electronic expansion valve sleeve and valve seat away from the welding gun. Under the action of the ball 65, the electronic expansion valve sleeve can cause the connecting shell 64 to drive the cone block 63 and the second contact block 67 to move, so that the second contact block 67 is separated from the first contact block 66, thereby automatically disconnecting the power supply on the electronic expansion valve sleeve and the valve seat.
[0028] like Figure 7 As shown, the alarm mechanism 7 includes a mounting groove on the bottom surface of the movable block 55. Two first contact pieces 71 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the mounting groove. A sounding alarm 72 is fixedly installed in the middle of the top surface of the inner cavity of the mounting groove. The sounding alarm 72 has a built-in battery. A second contact piece 73 is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the slide. The first contact pieces 71 and the second contact pieces 73 are movably connected.
[0029] When in use, when one end of the docking rod 56 is pressed against the semi-annular protrusion 54 and pushes the moving block 55 to move, the moving block 55 moves and causes the first contact piece 71 and the second contact piece 73 to fit together, so that the first contact piece 71, the second contact piece 73 and the sound alarm 72 form a complete circuit, which promptly issues an alarm to the operator to remind them to maintain the equipment, thereby improving the efficiency of welding processing and reducing the downtime of equipment failure.
[0030] Working principle and usage process of this invention: Before use, insert the electronic expansion valve seat vertically into the housing 3, then place the electronic expansion valve sleeve on top of the electronic expansion valve seat, and then close the sealing cover 23. Secure the sealing cover 23 with spring clips and slots. Insert the welding torch into the interface 24, ensuring the outer surface of the welding torch fits against the inner cavity of the interface 24, thus sealing the interface 24. Start the welding torch to continuously spray inert protective gas into the protective housing 21. The inert protective gas enters the inner cavity of the vent housing 81 through the vent hole 25, annular housing 83, and connecting pipe 82. In the process, the inert gas can push the lifting shell 84 to drive the locking crossbar 51 to move the locking tooth groove 53 upward and separate it from the locking tooth ring 52. When the locking crossbar 51 moves upward, it drives the docking rod 56 to separate from the semi-annular protrusion 54. Under the elastic force of the two second compression springs 58, the moving block 55 drives the electronic expansion valve sleeve and valve seat to approach the welding gun through the support shell 3, which is convenient for welding. At the same time, after the lifting shell 84 enters the expansion shell 85, the inert gas is discharged to the outside of the equipment through the air inlet 86, the telescopic bellows 87 and the exhaust channel 88. When the support shell 3 moves the electronic expansion valve sleeve and valve seat closer to the welding gun and to the center of the rotating shell 22, the other end of the welding gun equipment is clamped on the electrode post. The operator manually turns the screw 62 to rotate and drive the mounting shell 61 to move the cone block 63 downward. The downward movement of the cone block 63 causes the connecting shell 64 and the second contact block 67 to move downward. At this time, the connecting shell 64 is fitted onto the top of the electronic expansion valve sleeve, and the second contact block 67 contacts the top of the electronic expansion valve sleeve. As the mounting shell 61 continues to move downward, the upper surface of the second contact block 67 will eventually be in contact with the bottom surface of the first contact block 66, which can energize the electronic expansion valve sleeve and facilitate TIG welding. At the same time, the top surface of the cone block 63 is in contact with the bottom surface of the ball 65. Then, the tungsten electrode that starts welding can perform self-fusion welding on the electronic expansion valve sleeve and the valve seat. When the inert gas injection suddenly fails and is interrupted, the inert gas pressure inside the protective housing 21 decreases. Driven by the elastic force of the first compression spring 57, the locking crossbar 51 moves downward, causing the locking tooth groove 53 to engage with the locking tooth ring 52. This allows the rotating housing 22 to drive the support housing 3, stopping the rotation of the electronic expansion valve sleeve and valve seat. Simultaneously, as the locking crossbar 51 moves downward, it also causes the docking rod 56 to move downward. When one end of the docking rod 56 presses against the semi-annular protrusion 54, it pushes the moving block 55 to move. The movement of the moving block 55, through the connecting block, causes the support housing 3 to move. When the support housing 3 moves, it cooperates with the clamping mechanism 6 to move the electronic expansion valve sleeve and valve seat away from the welding torch, thus moving the electronic expansion valve sleeve and valve seat away from the welding torch. Separated from the welding torch, it can automatically disconnect the power supply to the electronic expansion valve sleeve and the valve seat, thereby protecting the electronic expansion valve sleeve from damage and scrapping. This facilitates the re-welding of the electronic expansion valve sleeve, reduces economic losses, and improves welding effect and equipment practicality. At the same time, when one end of the connecting rod 56 and the semi-annular protrusion 54 press against each other to push the moving block 55 to move, the moving block 55 moves and causes the first contact piece 71 and the second contact piece 73 to fit together. Thus, the first contact piece 71, the second contact piece 73, and the audible alarm 72 form a complete circuit, which promptly issues an alarm to the operator to prompt equipment maintenance, thereby improving welding efficiency and reducing equipment downtime.
