[0022] Example 1

[0023] Combined with Figure 1-3The present embodiment provides a double-chamber argon flushing protection device, characterized in that it includes a welding chamber surrounded by a first panel 11, a second panel 12 and a side panel 10, a partition 13 is provided in the welding chamber to separate the inner chamber of the welding chamber into a first chamber 101 and a second chamber 102, and at least one inflation port 14 is provided on the side panel 10, and at least one inflation port 14 is communicated with the first chamber 101; a first opening 111 penetrating and communicating with the first chamber 101 is provided on the first panel 11, a second opening 121 penetrating and communicating with the second chamber 102 is provided on the second panel 12, and a third opening 131 penetrating is provided on the partition 13, The first chamber 101 and the second chamber 102 are connected to each other through the third opening 131; a first flexible lining plate 21 is fixedly provided on one side of the first panel 11, and a first through hole 211 is provided on the first flexible lining plate 21, and the first through hole 211 is connected to the first opening 111; a second flexible lining plate 22 is fixedly provided on one side of the second panel 12, and a second through hole 221 is provided on the second flexible lining plate 22, and the second through hole 221 is connected to the second opening 121; a glass plate 15 is provided on the side of the second flexible lining plate 22 away from the welding chamber, and a through mold hole 151 is provided on the glass plate 15, and the mold hole 151 is connected to the second through hole 221.

[0024] The double-cavity argon flushing protection device of this embodiment is used for welding of electric heating tubes, so that the welding part is always flushed by the argon gas flow, ensuring that the welding part is in an inert atmosphere of constant temperature and humidity during the welding process, and can ensure that the welding part is not prone to oxidation or burn-through at high temperatures, thereby expanding the use range of the current and reducing the influence of voltage fluctuations on the welding effect, thereby making the weld fuller and having better mechanical strength, and achieving better welding effect. At the same time, since the welding part is always flushed by the argon gas flow, the weld can be quickly cooled down, improving the welding efficiency.

[0025] Taking welding one end of the metal tube constituting the electric heating tube with the end cap as an example, the double-chamber argon flushing protection device of this embodiment works as follows: first, insert the metal tube into the welding chamber from the first opening 111 and the first through hole 211, and move the metal tube in the direction of the third opening 131 until the end of the metal tube to be welded is located at the third opening 131. Among them, the diameters of the first opening 111, the third opening 131 and the first through hole 211 are equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of the metal tube to ensure that the metal tube can pass smoothly and can ensure that the metal tube can rotate freely during the welding process. It should be noted that the gap between the first opening 111 and the first through hole 211 and the metal tube should be small enough to ensure that the amount of argon gas leaking from the gap is small enough, and the gap between the third opening 131 and the metal tube should be able to ensure that argon gas flows from the first chamber 101 to the second chamber 102.

[0026] Then, the end cap is pushed into the end of the metal tube that needs to be welded. At this time, the welding part between the end cap and the metal tube is located at the third opening 131, or located in the second chamber 102. Before welding the end cap and the metal tube, the glass plate 15 is moved to one side of the second flexible lining plate 22. The glass plate 15 can be supported by a support frame and other structures so that the glass plate 15 remains in contact with one side of the second flexible lining plate 22. Then, the welding gun 16 is inserted from the mold hole 151 and passes through the second through hole 221, so that the gun head of the welding gun 16 is aligned with the welding part between the end cap and the metal tube. At this time, the gun head of the welding gun 16 is also located in the second chamber 102. At the same time, the gun body of the welding gun 16 also fills the mold hole 151, so that the amount of argon gas leaking from the gap between the mold hole 151 and the gun body is sufficiently small.

[0027] Then, argon gas needs to be filled into the welding chamber. The welding chamber is surrounded by a first panel 11, a second panel 12 and a side panel 10. The filling port 14 is located on the side panel 10. Taking the case where there is a filling port 14 connected to the first chamber 101 as an example, the filling process of argon gas is as follows: argon gas is filled into the welding chamber from the filling port 14, and the argon gas first enters the first chamber 101. As the argon gas is filled, part of the air in the first chamber 101 flows from the first opening 111 and the gap between the first through hole 211 and the metal tube to the external environment, and part of the air in the first chamber 101 flows from the third opening 131 to the second chamber 102, and pushes the air in the second chamber 102 to flow out from the second opening 121, the second through hole 221 and the gap between the mold hole 151 and the welding gun 16 to the external environment. Argon gas is continuously filled and air is continuously discharged, so that argon gas can fill the entire welding chamber, that is, both the first chamber 101 and the second chamber 102 are filled with argon gas.

[0028] Then, the welding gun 16 is turned on to weld the metal tube and the end cap. The welding part of the metal tube and the end cap is located in an argon environment. Under the protection of the inert gas argon, the outer wall of the metal tube can be protected from oxidation, and the welding part can be protected from oxidation or burn-through at high temperatures. This can expand the current usage range and reduce the impact of voltage fluctuations on the welding effect, thereby making the weld fuller and having better mechanical strength, and achieving better welding effects. At the same time, since the welding part is always flushed by the argon gas flow, the weld can be cooled quickly to improve welding efficiency.

[0029] In combination with the above working method, in an optional embodiment, the glass plate 15 is a quartz glass plate 15, which has good heat resistance and is suitable for welding scenes. Also, in some embodiments, the first flexible lining plate 21 and the second flexible lining plate 22 are both made of flexible rock wool plates, which can avoid damage to the outer wall of the metal tube and have high temperature resistance, and are suitable for welding scenes.

[0030] In a further embodiment, the volume of the first chamber 101 is greater than the volume of the second chamber 102. Since argon gas flows from the first chamber 101 to the second chamber 102 and leakage occurs during the flow, in this embodiment, the first chamber 101 plays a role similar to a buffer tank to ensure that sufficient argon gas flows into the second chamber 102.

[0031] In some embodiments, a fixing assembly is provided on the side of the glass plate 15 facing away from the second flexible liner 22, and the fixing assembly includes a first support rod 31, and the end of the first support rod 31 is movably connected to the second support rod 32, and the end of the second support rod 32 is fixedly provided with a connecting member 33, and the connecting member 33 is fixedly connected to the glass plate 15. Thus, by providing the fixing assembly, the glass plate 15 can be stably provided on one side of the second flexible liner 22, and at the same time, since the first support rod 31 and the second support rod 32 can be relatively movable, in some usage scenarios, the glass plate 15 can move with the welding gun 16. Among them, the connecting member 33 can be fixedly connected to the glass plate 15 by bolts, suction cups, bonding, etc.

[0032] In a further embodiment, the apertures of the first through hole 211, the first opening 111 and the third opening 131 are all a, and the apertures of the second through hole 221 and the second opening 121 are all b, satisfying a<b. Since the first through hole 211, the first opening 111 and the third opening 131 are all used for inserting the metal pipe, and combined with the aforementioned working method, it can be known that the gap between the metal pipe and the first through hole 211, the first opening 111 and the third opening 131 should be small enough, so the sizes of the three should be consistent to facilitate the control of the gap. The apertures of the second through hole 221 and the second opening 121 are all b, and satisfy a<b, the purpose is to ensure that the end cover and other welding parts are smoothly placed in the welding chamber, on the one hand, and on the other hand, since the welding gun 16 may need to rotate with welding, or the welding gun 16 needs to be inserted into the mold hole 151 in an inclined form, it is necessary to reserve space for the arrangement of the welding gun 16.

[0033] In some embodiments, the shaped hole 151 is a long hole, and the area of ​​the shaped hole 151 is smaller than the area of ​​the second through hole 221. The shaped hole 151 is a long hole, which can facilitate the tip of the welding gun 16 to be inserted into the shaped hole 151 in an inclined manner. The area of ​​the shaped hole 151 is smaller than the area of ​​the second through hole 221 in order to minimize the connection size between the second chamber 102 and the outside, thereby minimizing gas leakage.

[0034] In a further embodiment, when the glass plate 15 is placed perpendicular to the horizontal plane, there is an angle α between the mold hole 151 and the horizontal plane, satisfying 0°<α<90°. In this embodiment, the inclined mold hole 151 can facilitate the positioning of the inclined welding gun 16 head, thereby ensuring the welding effect.

[0035] And, in some embodiments, a plurality of gas inlets 14 are provided, and the plurality of gas inlets 14 are evenly distributed on the side plate 10, at least some of the gas inlets 14 are in communication with the first chamber 101, and the remaining gas inlets 14 are in communication with the second chamber 102. In this embodiment, the gas inlets 14 evenly distributed on the side plate 10 can ensure that argon gas is fully and evenly filled into the welding chamber, wherein, in addition to evenly filling into the first chamber 101, the second chamber 102 can also be inflated through some of the gas inlets 14 to supplement the argon gas in the second chamber 102, ensuring that the second chamber 102 is always full of argon gas, thereby ensuring the welding effect.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] Combined with Figure 1-3 This embodiment proposes a welding device, including a double-cavity argon flushing protection device recorded in the technical solution of Example 1, and also includes a welding gun 16, at least part of the welding gun 16 passes through the mold hole 151, and a clearance fit is formed between the welding gun 16 and the mold hole 151.

[0038] The above schematically describes the present invention and its implementation methods, which are not restrictive. The drawings show only one implementation method of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if ordinary technicians in this field are inspired by it and design structural methods and embodiments similar to the technical solution without creative design without departing from the purpose of the present invention, they should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
