Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of welding, in particular to an intelligent welding wire metering device. Background Art
[0002] The wire reel and wire feeder in the existing welding equipment are an integrated structure. The wire consumption is mainly calculated by integrating the wire feeding speed, wire diameter and wire density. The wire consumption weight is calculated by outputting the wire feeding speed signal to the PLC for integral calculation. The error is large, which affects the cost calculation. The exhaustion of welding wire depends on manual monitoring of the welding wire usage. When the welding wire is exhausted and needs to be replaced, the emergency stop switch is pressed to immediately stop the equipment and organize personnel to replace the welding wire. When human negligence occurs, serious production accidents are easily caused, and the specific usage of the welding wire cannot be accurately known. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a welding wire metering device to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology. The device can measure the weight of the welding wire in real time when it is used, so as to record the use of the welding wire, provide early warning of the welding wire consumption, and improve production safety.
[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0005] A welding wire metering device comprises a base and a weighing platform arranged on the base, a cavity is formed between the weighing platform and the base, a plurality of pressure sensors are evenly distributed in the cavity, a bracket is provided on one side of the base, a dashboard is provided on the top of the bracket, and the dashboard is communicatively connected to the pressure sensor; a limiting ring for fixing the welding wire is connected to one side of the base.
[0006] Furthermore, a guillotine is provided on the limiting ring.
[0007] Furthermore, the number of the pressure sensors is at least three.
[0008] Furthermore, a baffle is provided on the outer periphery of the weighing platform.
[0009] Furthermore, a universal wheel is provided at the bottom end of the weighing platform.
[0010] Furthermore, the bracket is a hollow pipe, and a data line for connecting the pressure sensor and the instrument panel is provided in the pipe.
[0011] Furthermore, the limiting ring includes an L-shaped plate and a through hole formed in the L-shaped plate.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0013] The utility model measures the amount of welding wire in real time through pressure sensors evenly distributed on the weighing platform, and reflects the data on the instrument panel. The amount of welding wire required for the welding workpiece can be directly obtained by observing the instrument panel, which is convenient for providing accurate estimation of the amount of subsequent welding of similar workpieces. The metering threshold of the remaining weight of the welding wire is set through the computer terminal. When the threshold is reached, an alarm is issued to notify the staff to shut down or replace the welding wire. The limit ring fixed on one side of the base allows one end of the welding wire to pass through to control the angle of the welding wire and avoid poor wire feeding caused by excessive dragging angle of the welding wire. The limit ring fixes the stretching direction of the welding wire, which is beneficial to improving welding strength and quality. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

They are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present utility model.
[0019] See also Figure 1-2In this embodiment, a welding wire metering device includes a base 1, a weighing platform 2 arranged on the base 1, a bracket 5 arranged on one side of the base 1, and an instrument panel arranged on the top of the bracket 5. Among them, a cavity 3 is formed between the weighing platform 2 and the base 1, and three pressure sensors 4 are evenly distributed in the cavity 3. The three pressure sensors 4 are arranged in an equilateral triangle with the center of the weighing platform 2 as the center. The instrument panel 6 is connected to the pressure sensor 4 in communication. After the pressure sensor 4 measures the weight, it integrates and transmits the data to the computer terminal, and then displays it through the instrument panel 6; a limit ring 7 for fixing the welding wire is connected to one side of the base 1. After one end of the welding wire passes through the limit ring 7, it is connected to the welding machine. The pressure sensor 4 records the weight of the remaining welding wire on the weighing platform 2 in real time. When the weight of the remaining welding wire reaches the preset metering threshold, an alarm is issued through the computer terminal, and the on-site personnel can stop the equipment urgently through the APP operation. It also includes a guillotine 8 arranged on the limit ring 7. The guillotine 8 can quickly cut off the welding wire when there is a problem with the welding machine equipment.

[0021] Furthermore, it is characterized in that a universal wheel 9 is provided at the bottom end of the weighing platform 2, and the universal wheel 9 has a braking function to facilitate positioning during use.
[0022] Furthermore, the bracket 5 is a hollow pipe, in which a data line for connecting the pressure sensor 4 and the instrument panel 6 is provided.
[0023] Furthermore, the limiting ring 7 includes an L-shaped plate 71 and a through hole 72 formed on the L-shaped plate.
[0024] When the utility model is used, the welding wire reel is placed on the weighing platform 2, and after the device is pushed to a suitable position, the universal wheel is locked to prevent further movement, and one end of the welding wire is passed through the limit ring 7 and connected to the welding machine. The instrument panel 6 records the initial weight, real-time remaining amount, and usage time of the welding wire. The instrument panel records the amount of welding wire used, providing an accurate assessment for the later statistics of various welding wire amounts of different models of workpieces to be welded. When the remaining welding wire on the weighing platform 2 reaches the preset metering threshold, the device alarms to remind the staff to replace the welding wire.
