Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of welding, in particular to a cooling water recovery device for a welding gun. Background Art

[0002] During the body-in-white manufacturing process, the body needs to be spot welded. During the welding process, the welding gun's transformer, electrode arm and electrode will generate a lot of heat. If the heat is not eliminated, it will affect the quality of the weld. At the same time, the heat will cause the electrode to stick to the plate and damage the welding gun electrode arm. Therefore, in order to ensure the quality of the weld and protect the welding gun components, the welding gun transformer, electrode arm and electrode end need to be cooled by cooling water. At the same time, the flow of cooling water needs to be monitored. When the flow is lower than the set value, an alarm signal is issued and the robot welding is stopped to prevent abnormal weld quality or equipment damage.

[0003] The existing cooling water station is installed outside the automatic line fence, with various specifications, which can correspond to the cooling needs of 1-5 welding guns respectively. For example, Chinese patent CN202222149737.2 discloses a cooling circulating water tank and welding equipment. The cooling circulating water tank is arranged in the welding equipment. The above cooling circulating water tank is used to cool the welding gun during welding. The above cooling circulating water tank includes: a water storage tank, a water pump, a radiator, which is arranged on one side of the above first water pipe, and the above radiator is configured to be able to exchange heat with the water flowing through the above first water pipe; and a detection component, which is arranged on the second water pipe between the above return water end and the above water storage tank, and the above detection component is configured to detect the temperature and flow of the cooling water in the above second water pipe. When the existing device replaces the electrode, the cooling water in the return water pipeline will be sprayed out in large quantities, affecting the cleanliness of the ground. Spraying onto the equipment will also cause the equipment to rust and damage, and cause waste of water resources.

[0004] Chinese patent CN202010836461.8 discloses a cooling water return device for an automatic welding gun, including a water inlet circuit connected to the water inlet end of a welding control cabinet, and a water outlet circuit connected to the water outlet end of the welding control cabinet. The water inlet circuit includes a water inlet pipe, a water return cylinder, a gas control device for controlling the vacuum of the water return cylinder, and a multi-way valve arranged on the water inlet pipe. The water return cylinder is connected to the water inlet pipe through the multi-way valve; the water outlet circuit includes a water outlet pipe and a control valve for controlling the one-way discharge of cooling water in the water outlet pipe. The gas control device controls the water return cylinder to vacuum the water inlet pipe, and then extracts the cooling water retained in the electrode head or the electrode cap through the water outlet circuit. The device is equipped with a water return cylinder and an additional air inlet pipe, which increases the volume of the device. In addition, the vacuuming method is adopted, so there is a problem of incomplete extraction and residual cooling water still remaining inside.

[0005] In summary, when the welding gun electrode is replaced, the existing device has the problem of incomplete treatment of cooling water in the return water pipeline in the welding gun, which affects the equipment, and has the problem of complex structure and inconvenience in cleaning impurities.

One end of the first cleaning inlet pipe 12 is connected to the inside of the first water inlet pipe 11. The other end of the first cleaning inlet pipe 12 is used to connect to a compressed air source.

[0040] The welding gun electrode water outlet circuit 2 includes a first water outlet pipe 21 and a first cleaning outlet pipe 22.

The second water outlet end 212 of the first water outlet pipe 21 is used to connect to the water inlet end of the cooling water system. One end of the first cleaning outlet pipe 22 is connected to the inside of the first water outlet pipe 21.

[0041] Under normal working conditions, the welding gun electrode water inlet circuit 1 is respectively connected with the cooling water system of the workshop and the electrode water inlet of the welding gun, that is, the first water inlet end 111 of the first water inlet pipe 11 is connected with the water outlet end of the cooling water system, and the first water outlet end 112 of the first water inlet pipe 11 is connected with the electrode water inlet of the welding gun. Similarly, the welding gun electrode water outlet circuit 2 is respectively connected with the cooling water system of the workshop and the electrode water return of the welding gun, that is, the second water inlet end 211 of the first water outlet pipe 21 is connected with the electrode water return of the welding gun, and the second water outlet end 212 of the first water outlet pipe 21 is connected with the water inlet end of the cooling water system to form a circuit; the first cleaning inlet pipe 12 and the first cleaning outlet pipe 22 are used in a closed state and are not connected to the outside, so that cooling water cannot flow out of the welding gun electrode water inlet circuit 1 and the welding gun electrode water outlet circuit 2 from the first cleaning inlet pipe 12 and the first cleaning outlet pipe 22.
