DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The following is combined with Figure 1-9 This application is described in further detail.

[0037] The present application embodiment discloses a material guide and collection device for a welding ring. Figures 1 to 3 The welding ring 1 is produced by a ring making machine 2. Specifically, the ring making machine 2 includes a feeding mechanism 21, a blade 22, an arc guide rail 23, and a plug-in column 24. The feeding mechanism 21 feeds the welding wire 3 to the arc guide rail 23 to be wound into a ring-shaped welding ring 1; the blade 22 of the ring making machine 2 cuts the welding wire 3 downward, so that the welding ring 1 falls off. The feeding mechanism 21 and the blade 22 are both driven by a stepper motor; the ring making machine 2 is not the inventive point of the present invention, and the specific structure of the ring making machine 2 is not described in detail in this embodiment.

[0038] Reference Figures 4 to 5 The material guiding and converging device for the welding ring includes a hose 4 and a connector 5. The hose 4 includes a first end 41 and a second end 42 which are arranged opposite to each other. The first end 41 is plugged and fixed with one end of the connector 5, and the second end 42 is plugged and fixed with the other end of the connector 5. The hose 4 and the connector 5 form a ring-shaped material guiding and converging device.

[0039] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6The connector 5 includes a rigid connection column 51 and a flexible plug connector 52, and two plug connectors 52 are provided; both ends of the connection column 51 are provided with mounting grooves 511 for accommodating the plug connector 52, and the plug connector 52 is fixedly connected to the connection column 51; the plug connector 52 is provided with a plug-in groove 521 for plugging in the hose 4, and the inner diameter of the plug-in groove 521 is smaller than the outer diameter of the hose 4, and the hose 4 is plugged and fixed to the plug connector 52. The connection column 51 can be made of hard plastic, and the rigid connection column 51 makes the connection column 51 have a certain rigidity, so that it is convenient for the staff to plug and fix the hose 4 to the connection head 5. The plug connector 52 can be made of flexible materials such as rubber and silicone; thereby, the deformation of the plug connector 52 is utilized to make the hose 4 and the plug connector 52 closely abut, thereby improving the connection strength between the hose 4 and the connection head 5.

[0040] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The slot side wall of the plug slot 521 includes a guide portion 522 and a plug portion 523 in sequence. The guide portion 522 and the plug portion 523 are integrally formed. The hose 4 is sequentially inserted through the guide portion 522 and the plug portion 523. The inner diameter of the guide portion 522 is larger than the outer diameter of the hose 4. The inner diameter of the guide portion 522 decreases from the slot opening to the bottom of the plug slot 521. The inner diameter of the plug portion 523 is smaller than the outer diameter of the hose 4. By providing the guide portion 522 with a decreasing diameter, it is convenient for the staff to plug the hose 4 into the plug slot 521.

[0041] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 A first annular groove 512 is formed on the outer periphery of the connecting column 51, and the first annular groove 512 is arranged between the two plug connectors 52. The plug connector groove 521 provides an application point for the staff, so that the staff can plug and fix the hose 4 and the connector 5. In this embodiment, the cross section of the first annular groove 512 is an arc surface, so as to increase the contact area between the staff's hand and the groove side wall of the first annular groove 512.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Before the ring making machine 2 works, the first end 41 of the hose 4 is used to be plugged and fixed with the plug-in column 24 of the ring making machine 2; the second end 42 of the hose 4 is fixedly connected with the connector 5, and the connector 5 is placed at the bottom of the collecting container 9. Therefore, when the feeding mechanism 21 delivers the welding wire 3, the welding wire 3 surrounds the hose 4 to form a welding ring 1. The blade 22 of the ring making machine 2 is set on one side of the plug-in column 24, and the blade 22 of the ring making machine 2 reciprocates vertically. The blade 22 is used to cut off the connection between the welding wire 3 and the formed welding ring 1; so that the welding ring 1 slides downward along the outer circumference of the hose 4, the outer diameter of the connector 5 is larger than the outer diameter of the welding ring 1, and the connector 5 is used to intercept the welding ring 1.

[0043] Reference Figures 4 to 6When the ring making machine 2 is finished working, the staff removes the first end 41 of the hose 4 from the plug-in column 24; then, the staff plugs the first end 41 of the hose 4 into the plug-in slot 521 of the plug connector 52. After the staff collects a number of welding rings 1 using the material guiding and bundling device, the number of welding rings 1 can be determined by measuring the length of the welding rings 1 or by weighing.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] The difference between this embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that:

[0046] Reference Figure 7 A plurality of first convex rings 8 are provided on the outer circumference of the connecting column 51, and the first convex rings 8 are arranged between the two plug connectors 52. The plurality of first convex rings 8 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the connecting column 51. The first convex rings 8 provide an application point for the staff, so that the staff can plug and fix the hose 4 and the connector 5.

[0047] Example 3

[0048] The difference between this embodiment 3 and embodiment 1 is that:

[0049] Reference Figure 8 The material guiding and bundling device for the welding ring also includes a cable tie 6, which is tied to the outer periphery of the first ring groove 512; the cable tie 6 is used to fix the nameplate 7, and the nameplate 7 is used to record product information; thereby facilitating other people to understand the quantity, specifications and other information of the product.

[0050] Example 4

[0051] The difference between this embodiment 4 and embodiment 1 is that:

[0052] Reference Fig. 9 A second convex ring 43 is provided on the inner circumference of the first end portion 41 of the hose 4, and a second annular groove 241 is provided on the outer circumference of the plug-in column 24 of the ring making machine 2. The second convex ring 43 is clamped in the second annular groove 241; at the same time, a plurality of notches 431 are provided at intervals on the second convex ring 43.

[0053] The second convex ring 43 and the second annular groove 241 are engaged with each other to improve the connection strength between the hose 4 and the plug-in column 24, and reduce the separation of the hose 4 and the plug-in column 24 when more welding rings 1 are sleeved on the hose 4. At the same time, when the first end 41 of the hose 4 is plugged and fixed with the connector 5, the plurality of notches 431 provide deformation space for the deformation of the hose 4 and the second convex ring 43, so that it is convenient for the staff to plug and fix the hose 4 with the connector 5.

[0054] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
