[0024] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the utility model, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the meaning of "and / or" appearing in the full text includes three parallel schemes. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes scheme A, or scheme B, or a scheme that satisfies both A and B. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the utility model.

[0025] The utility model provides a manual welding welding gun, comprising a gun body and a conductive nozzle 10, wherein the gun body comprises a gun barrel 20 and a gun handle 30 connected to the rear end of the gun barrel 20, a connecting rod 21 is arranged at the front end of the gun barrel 20, an external thread is arranged at the front end of the connecting rod 21, a first inner cavity is opened in the connecting rod 21, a second inner cavity is opened in the conductive nozzle 10, an inner wall of the conductive nozzle 10 forms an internal thread matching the external thread, so that the conductive nozzle 10 can be threadedly connected to the front end of the connecting rod 21, and when the conductive nozzle 10 is threadedly connected to the front end of the connecting rod 21, the first inner cavity and the second inner cavity are interconnected to form a wire feeding channel for the welding wire to pass through, and the conductive nozzle 10 can also be threadedly connected to the welding gun body of an arc welding robot.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connecting rod 21 is arranged at the front end of the barrel 20, and the conductive nozzle 10 cooperates with the external thread at the front end of the connecting rod 21 through the internal thread at the rear end thereof, so that the conductive nozzle 10 is threadedly connected to the barrel 20, and the first inner cavity in the connecting rod 21 and the second inner cavity in the conductive nozzle 10 are connected to each other to form a wire feeding channel. In addition, the front end of the welding gun body of the existing arc welding robot is provided with an external thread, and the internal thread of the conductive nozzle 10 matches the external thread size of the arc welding robot gun body, so that the conductive nozzle 10 can be threadedly connected to the welding gun body of the arc welding robot. It is worth noting that due to the use restrictions of the arc welding robot, it is difficult to adjust the welding angle according to the different welding parts, so that the arc welding robot has higher requirements for the accuracy of the conductive nozzle 10, and the conductive nozzle 10 needs to be replaced when it is slightly worn; while manual welding is manually operated, and the welding quality can be ensured by adjusting the welding angle when the conductive nozzle 10 is slightly worn, so that the manual welding welding gun has relatively low requirements for the accuracy of the conductive nozzle 10.

[0027] In the manual welding gun proposed by the utility model, the conductive nozzle 10 is threadedly connected to the gun barrel 20, and the conductive nozzle 10 is consistent with the size of the welding gun body of the arc welding robot, so that the conductive nozzle 10 of the manual welding gun proposed by the utility model can also be threadedly connected to the welding gun body of the arc welding robot, which is convenient to disassemble and has good compatibility. When the conductive nozzle 10 connected to the arc welding robot is slightly worn, the conductive nozzle 10 can be disassembled and threadedly connected to the manual welding gun body of the utility model for continued use, thereby extending the service life of a single conductive nozzle 10, giving full play to the performance of the conductive nozzle 10, and effectively saving costs.

[0028] In one embodiment, the contact tip 10 is provided with a nozzle 22 , the connecting rod 21 is provided with an insulating sleeve 23 , and the insulating sleeve 23 is threadedly connected to the nozzle 22 .

[0029] It can be understood that the nozzle 22 is sleeved outside the conductive nozzle 10 and is spaced from the conductive nozzle 10, and a second outer cavity is formed between the nozzle 22 and the conductive nozzle 10. During welding, the shielding gas flows through the second outer cavity and is ejected from the nozzle 22 toward the outside of the welding gun. The nozzle 22 can guide the shielding gas flow in the second outer cavity to prevent the front end of the welding wire from contacting the air and affecting the welding quality. The insulating sleeve 23 is sleeved outside the connecting rod 21 and is spaced from the connecting rod 21. The insulating sleeve 23 can reduce the current conducted to the outside of the welding gun during welding, improve the safety of the welding process, and the front end of the insulating sleeve 23 is threadedly connected to the nozzle 22, so that the insulating sleeve 23 and the nozzle 22 are easy to load and unload.

[0030] In one embodiment, a first outer cavity is formed between the connecting rod 21 and the insulating sleeve 23, a second outer cavity is formed between the conductive nozzle 10 and the nozzle 22, the first outer cavity and the second outer cavity are interconnected to form an air supply channel, and the gun handle 30 has an air pipe connected to the air supply channel.

[0031] Furthermore, the connecting rod 21 is threadedly connected with the conductive nozzle 10 to form an inner layer, and the insulating sleeve 23 is threadedly connected with the nozzle 22 to form an outer layer. A gas supply channel for the protective gas to flow is formed between the inner layer and the outer layer, and the rear end of the gas supply channel is connected to the gas pipe on the gun handle 30 to supply gas to the gas supply channel. The front end of the gas supply channel is located close to the front end of the wire feeding channel, so that when the welding wire extends from the wire feeding channel, the protective gas in the gas supply channel provides protection to the welding wire, preventing the welding wire from contacting with the air, and preventing the welding wire from being oxidized or contacting with impurities to affect the welding quality.

[0032] In one embodiment, a flow divider 24 is abutted between the contact tip 10 and the nozzle 22 . The flow divider 24 is provided with a plurality of flow guide holes spaced apart along the circumferential direction, and the flow guide holes are communicated with the air supply channel.

[0033] It can be understood that the inner wall of the diverter 24 abuts against the conductive tip 10, and the outer wall of the diverter 24 abuts against the nozzle 22, so that the body of the diverter 24 blocks the gas supply channel, and the shielding gas in the gas supply channel flows through the multiple guide holes on the diverter 24. The multiple guide holes are evenly spaced along the annular direction of the diverter 24, so that the shielding gas is evenly distributed at the front end of the nozzle 22 after being diffused through the multiple guide holes, thereby optimizing the flow direction and distribution of the shielding gas, providing sufficient protection for the welding wire and the welding area of ​​the welded part, and effectively ensuring the welding quality.

[0034] In one embodiment, an insulating gasket 25 is provided between the flow divider 24 and the nozzle 22 .

[0035] Furthermore, the insulating gasket 25 isolates the electrical connection between the diverter 24 and the nozzle 22, preventing the current on the conductive tip 10 from flowing to the nozzle 22 through the diverter 24, avoiding leakage, and thus ensuring the safety of the welding personnel. In addition, the insulating gasket 25 can also provide mechanical support and buffering between the diverter 24 and the nozzle 22, preventing the diverter 24 and the nozzle 22 from being damaged by impact, and extending the service life of the welding gun. It can be explained that in order to improve the insulation effect, the diverter 24 is made of an insulating material.

[0036] In one embodiment, a micro switch 31 is installed in the gun handle 30 , and a trigger 32 is movably connected to the gun handle 30 , and the trigger 32 is connected to the micro switch 31 .

[0037] It can be explained that the micro switch 31 is installed in the gun handle 30 and is used to control the on and off of the circuit in the gun handle 30. The trigger 32 is connected to the gun handle 30 and can move relative to the gun handle 30. The micro switch 31 is triggered by pressing the trigger 32 to conduct the circuit in the gun handle 30, so that the welding gun can perform welding; when the trigger 32 is released, the circuit is disconnected, and the welding of the welding gun stops, thereby preventing the welding gun from continuing to work inadvertently, ensuring the safety and reliability of the welding gun.

[0038] In one embodiment, the micro switch 31 is connected to the trigger 32 via a movable rod 33 . The movable rod 33 can move relative to the gun handle 30 . A return spring is disposed on the outer sleeve of the movable rod 33 . The return spring is connected between the micro switch 31 and the trigger 32 .

[0039] Furthermore, the movable rod 33 is connected between the microswitch 31 and the trigger 32, and the return spring is also connected between the microswitch 31 and the trigger 32. By pressing the trigger 32, the movable rod 33 is driven to move and squeeze the return spring, and the action of the trigger 32 is transmitted to the microswitch 31 through the movable rod 33 to trigger the microswitch 31; when the trigger 32 is released, the return spring drives the trigger 32 and the movable rod 33 to reset, so as to close the microswitch 31, thereby preventing the welding gun from continuing to work inadvertently, thereby improving the safety of the welding gun.

[0040] In one embodiment, the gun handle 30 includes a front gun housing 34 and a rear gun housing 35, the front end of the front gun housing 34 is connected to the rear end of the barrel 20, the rear end of the front gun housing 34 and the front end of the rear gun housing 35 are both provided with a spring sheath 36, and the two spring sheaths 36 are connected to each other and are jointly sheathed outside the cable of the welding gun.

[0041] It can be understood that the front gun housing 34 and the rear gun housing 35 are connected to each other through two spring sheaths 36, and the two spring sheaths 36 are together sheathed outside the cable, and the spring sheaths 36 provide protection for the cable to prevent the cable from being worn or damaged during the welding process. In addition, the spring sheath 36 has a certain elasticity and flexibility, so that the cable can have a certain activity space in the gun handle 30, and will not be excessively twisted due to the movement or vibration of the welding gun, thereby extending the service life of the cable.

[0042] In one embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the contact tip 10 gradually decreases from the rear end to the front end thereof.

[0043] It can be explained that the conductive nozzle 10 is tapered toward the front end, so that the front end of the conductive nozzle 10 can better concentrate the welding heat, melt the welding wire faster and form a weld, thereby shortening the welding time, improving the welding efficiency, and improving the welding accuracy, and minimizing the thermal damage to other parts of the weldment.

[0044] In one embodiment, the external thread diameter of the connecting rod 21 is M8.

[0045] Specifically, the external thread of the connecting rod 21 and the internal thread of the conductive nozzle 10 both adopt the M8 specification, and the external thread of the welding gun of the existing arc welding robot adopts the M8 specification, so that the conductive nozzle 10 can be simultaneously applicable to the manual welding welding gun proposed in the utility model and the welding gun of the existing arc welding robot, and has good compatibility. When the conductive nozzle 10 connected to the arc welding robot is slightly worn, the conductive nozzle 10 can be disassembled and threadedly connected to the manual welding welding gun body proposed in the utility model for continued use, thereby extending the service life of a single conductive nozzle 10, giving full play to the material properties of the conductive nozzle 10, and effectively saving material costs.

[0046] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
