Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electrode cap storage, in particular to an electrode cap display mechanism. Background Art

[0002] The electrode cap is a type of welding electrode and is used for welding in resistance welding equipment, such as fixed spot welding machines, hanging spot welding machines, and manipulator spot welding machines. Because it is mounted on the electrode connecting rod, it is called an electrode cap.

[0003] There are many types of electrode cap replacement clips used in existing storage electrode caps, which can basically meet people's use needs, but there are still certain shortcomings. The specific problems are as follows:

[0004] (1) The electrode cap displayed in the clip is pressed by a spring in the clip, so that the electrode cap is always displayed at the clip outlet. However, the elastic force of the spring decreases after long-term use, and it is impossible to ensure that the electrode cap is always pushed to the clip outlet. Regular maintenance is required, which increases maintenance costs.

[0005] (2) Since the upper and lower electrode caps of the electrode connecting rod need to be replaced respectively, the clip is often provided with two through slots for displaying the electrode caps to provide two replaceable electrode caps for the electrode connecting rod. However, the springs in the two through slots of the clip are relatively independent in pushing the electrode caps, and it is easy for one electrode cap to be pushed out while the other electrode cap is not pushed to the clip outlet, which affects the replacement efficiency of the electrode caps.

[0006] (3) The electrode cap clip also uses a push rod to push the electrode cap into the clip slot. This design cannot reasonably control the force of the push rod and is likely to cause damage to the clip or the electrode cap without a buffer. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the utility model proposes an electrode cap display mechanism, which can be pushed simultaneously by a push rod assembly to ensure that the electrode cap is always displayed at the magazine outlet, and cooperates with a buffer spring to effectively alleviate equipment loss, reduce maintenance costs and improve production efficiency.

[0008] The technical solution of the utility model is achieved in this way:

[0009] An electrode cap display mechanism comprises a clip body, a push rod assembly, a first limit assembly, a second limit assembly and a cover plate, wherein at least two clip channels for displaying electrode caps are arranged in the clip body, and a first surface of the clip body is provided with a slide groove communicating with the clip channels;

[0010] The push rod assembly includes a push rod disposed in the magazine channel and a push portion disposed in the push rod groove and passing through the slide groove, wherein a buffer spring is disposed in the push rod groove;

[0011] The first limiting assembly is arranged at the front end of the clip body, the first limiting assembly is provided with an electrode cap stopper located at the exit of the clip channel, and the second limiting assembly is arranged at the end of the clip body;

[0012] The cover plate is mounted on the upper surface of the clip channel so that the clip channel forms a receiving cavity for receiving the electrode cap.

[0013] As a preferred implementation, the first limiting assembly is further provided with a first buckle portion for mounting the magazine body.

[0014] As a preferred implementation, the second limiting assembly is further provided with a second buckle portion for cooperating with the first buckle portion to install the clip body.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, a strip-shaped through groove is provided on the surface of the cover plate, and the strip-shaped through groove is located on the second surface of the magazine body to form an observation port of the magazine channel.

[0016] As a preferred implementation, a transparent acrylic plate is further arranged above the cover plate.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment, the pushing part includes a connecting rod and a pushing platform (), and the pushing platform is provided with a pushing protrusion for the cylinder to push the force.

[0018] As a preferred implementation, the clip body is detachably connected to the first limiting assembly, the second limiting assembly and the cover plate by mounting bolts.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment, a first surface of the clip body is provided with a positioning groove for installation and positioning at the front end of the clip channel.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0021] (1) The utility model completes the pushing of the electrode caps in the two magazine channels by connecting the push rod assembly of the two magazine channels, ensuring that each electrode connecting rod always has two electrode caps displayed at the front end of the magazine channel when replacing the electrode caps, thereby ensuring the production stability of the electrode cap replacement work, and can reduce the impact on the electrode cap replacement efficiency compared to two independent electrode cap pushing methods;

[0022] (2) The utility model uses a push rod assembly to replace the spring to push the electrode cap in the magazine channel, which not only avoids the influence of the weakening of the spring force in long-term use on pushing the electrode cap, but also ensures that the electrode cap is always displayed at the front end of the magazine channel, thereby reducing maintenance costs;

[0023] (3) The utility model reduces the damage to the equipment caused by the force of the motor drive or the cylinder drive by providing a buffer spring between the push rod and the pushing part, thereby extending the service life of the equipment and saving production costs.

The clip body 1 is provided with at least two clip channels 11 for displaying electrode caps 6. The first surface of the clip body 1 is provided with a slide groove 12 connected to the clip channels 11.

[0035] The push rod assembly 2 includes a push rod 21 disposed in the magazine channel 11 and a push portion 22 disposed in the push rod groove 211 and passing through the slide slot 12. A buffer spring 23 is disposed in the push rod groove 211.

[0036] It should be noted that a corresponding number of clip channels 11 can be set according to the demand for replacing the electrode cap of the electrode connecting rod, and the push rod assembly 2 can pass through the first surface of the clip body 1 and be set in the clip channel 11, and the electrode cap 6 displayed in the clip channel 11 can be pushed by the push rod assembly 2, so that when the electrode caps at both ends of the electrode connecting rod are replaced, the electrode caps 6 installed at the upper and lower positions of the electrode connecting rod are displayed at the front end of the clip channel 11, and the push rods 21 set in different clip channels 11 are pushed by the same pushing part 22, so that the electrode caps 6 in multiple clip channels 11 can be pushed out at the same time, avoiding the failure of the electrode cap 6 in one of the clip channels 11 to be pushed out, resulting in the suspension of the work of replacing the electrode cap of the electrode connecting rod, and wasting time on maintaining the electrode cap replacement equipment, affecting production efficiency.
