Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of simulated welding torches, in particular to a simulated welding clamp for welding training. Background Art

[0002] Currently, during welding training education, users need to operate in a laboratory or factory actually, which results in high costs. In addition, there are many precautions when using a welding torch. For example, after the welding torch is plugged in, never touch the tip of the torch. If accidentally touched, it will definitely cause burns and blisters, and you need to flush with water immediately; try to make the amount of solder used just right during welding to improve the conduction efficiency; when the welding torch is placed on the welding torch rack, still be careful not to touch the objects beside the rack, etc. For novice users, especially for students, since there are dozens or even more people in each training session and there is only one teacher, it is very easy to cause accidents.

[0003] Therefore, virtual welding teaching equipment has been introduced on the market, which can enable trainees to conduct efficient training of welding skills in a highly simulated environment, allowing trainees to feel real scenarios and the welding process, and avoiding the problems of the need for a special experimental site, high costs, and easy occurrence of danger in existing welding training; the virtual welding teaching equipment includes a virtual system and a virtual welding torch. The user controls the movement of the virtual welding torch, and the transmitter transmits the data of the VR sensor to the virtual system, and the virtual system then simulates these data in the simulation chamber.

[0004] The existing VR welding training equipment has a simple structure and cannot simulate the light, heat, and vibration generated by real welding equipment, resulting in a weak sense of reality for users and poor training effects. Therefore, we propose a simulated welding clamp for welding training to solve this problem. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model proposes a simulated welding clamp for welding training to more precisely solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] The utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A simulated welding clamp for welding training proposed by the utility model includes a virtual welding torch housing. An inner cavity is provided in the virtual welding torch housing. A VR sensor is fixedly installed on the front side of the virtual welding torch housing. A transmitter is provided on the VR sensor. The transmitter is used to receive the data of the VR sensor and forward it to the virtual system. A grip is provided on the top of the virtual welding torch housing. A trigger is provided below the grip. The trigger is used to control the size of the flame generated in the virtual system.

[0008] Further, a ring lamp holder is arranged below the virtual welding torch housing. A ring cavity is formed at the bottom of the ring lamp holder. A plurality of infrared bulbs are arranged in the ring cavity. A transparent protective cover is movably clamped in the ring cavity.

[0010] Further, the virtual welding torch housing includes a front half shell and a rear half shell. A plurality of screw barrels are arranged on the inner wall of the rear half shell. Threaded barrels adapted to the screw barrels are arranged on the inner wall of the front half shell.

[0011] Further, supporting half shells are arranged on both the front half shell and the rear half shell. The two supporting half shells are combined into a supporting shell. The supporting shell is used to load counterweight blocks. The front sides of the front half shell and the rear half shell are both open.

[0012] Further, the same vibration motor is fixedly installed between the inner wall at the rear side of the front half shell and the inner wall at the front side of the rear half shell.

[0013] Further, an electronic base is arranged on the inner wall at the front side of the rear half shell. The electronic base is used to install an electronic device as a power supply. The power supply is used to supply power to the vibration motor and the VR sensor.

[0014] Further, semi-elliptical holes are formed on the inner walls at the bottoms of both the front half shell and the rear half shell. The same elliptical heat insulation sheet is fixedly installed in the two semi-elliptical holes. An indicating circular hole is formed at the bottom of the elliptical heat insulation sheet. The indicating circular hole is used to guide the user's line of sight and indicate the fire direction. The ring lamp holder is fixedly installed at the bottom of the elliptical heat insulation sheet.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. The current generated by the independent power supply heats the tungsten wire in the infrared bulb and emits infrared radiation. The infrared radiation generates light and heat.

Specific embodiments

[0024] In order to more clearly and completely illustrate the technical solution of the present utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , a simulated welding torch for welding training proposed by the present utility model includes a virtual welding torch housing 1, an inner cavity 2 is opened in the virtual welding torch housing 1, a VR sensor 3 is fixedly installed on the front side of the virtual welding torch housing 1, a transmitter 4 is arranged on the VR sensor 3, and the transmitter 4 is used to receive the data of the VR sensor 3 and forward it to the virtual system. A grip 5 is arranged on the top of the virtual welding torch housing 1, and a trigger 6 is arranged below the grip 5. The trigger 6 is used to control the size of the flame generated in the virtual system.

[0026] As Figure 4 shown, an annular lamp holder 7 is arranged below the virtual welding torch housing 1. An annular cavity is opened at the bottom of the annular lamp holder 7, and a plurality of infrared bulbs are arranged in the annular cavity. A transparent protective cover 8 is movably clamped in the annular cavity.

[0027] A square groove is opened below the virtual welding torch housing 1, and an independent power supply 9 is fixedly installed in the square groove. The independent power supply 9 is used to supply power to the annular lamp holder 7.

[0028] It should be noted that when the current generated by the independent power supply 9 passes through the infrared lamp, the tungsten wire inside the infrared lamp is heated and emits infrared radiation, and the infrared radiation generates photothermal heat. Therefore, the local temperature can be rapidly increased to simulate the photothermal heat generated by a real welding torch, allowing users to practice welding in a safe environment and avoiding accidents that may occur during actual welding.

[0029] As Figure 3 shown, the virtual welding torch housing 1 includes a front half shell 11 and a rear half shell 12. A plurality of screw cylinders 13 are provided on the inner wall of the rear half shell 12, and threaded cylinders adapted to the screw cylinders 13 are provided on the inner wall of the front half shell 11.

[0030] Support half shells 14 are provided on both the front half shell 11 and the rear half shell 12. The two support half shells 14 are combined into a support shell for loading counterweight blocks. The front sides of the front half shell 11 and the rear half shell 12 are both open.

[0031] It should be noted that screws are installed in the screw cylinders 13 and the threaded cylinders by internal threading, thereby realizing the rapid assembly of the front half shell 11 and the rear half shell 12; the counterweight blocks can help balance the center of gravity of the welding torch, making it easier for users to control the welding torch during use. By adjusting the number and position of the counterweight blocks, different models and types of welding torches can be simulated to help users adapt to various welding equipment.

[0032] A same vibration motor 15 is fixedly installed between the inner wall of the rear side of the front half shell 11 and the inner wall of the front side of the rear half shell 12.

[0033] An electronic base 16 is provided on the inner wall of the front side of the rear half shell 12. The electronic base 16 is used to install an electronic device as a power supply. The power supply is used to supply power to the vibration motor 15 and the VR sensor 3. Using an electronic device to supply power to the vibration motor 15 and the VR sensor 3 makes the virtual welding torch highly portable without the need for an external power cord and is suitable for mobile use.

[0034] It should be noted that during the actual welding process, the instability of the electric arc will cause changes in current and voltage, thereby causing the vibration of the welding torch; by simulating the instability of the electric arc and the vibration when the welding torch contacts other objects, users can feel that they are performing real welding operations, and can learn how to adjust welding parameters to obtain better welding effects by feeling the vibration of the welding torch.

[0035] As Figure 4 shown, semi-elliptical holes 17 are formed in the bottom inner walls of both the front half shell 11 and the rear half shell 12. The same elliptical heat insulation sheet 18 is fixedly installed in the two semi-elliptical holes 17. An indication round hole 10 is formed at the bottom of the elliptical heat insulation sheet 18. The indication round hole 10 is used to guide the user's line of sight and indicate the fire direction. The annular lamp holder 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the elliptical heat insulation sheet 18.

[0036] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: The user holds the grip 5 and moves the virtual welding torch housing 1, adjusts the front-back, left-right position, height and angle of the virtual welding torch housing 1, presses the trigger 6 to control the opening and closing of the virtual welding torch and the size of the flame generated in the virtual system. The VR sensor 3 is used to capture the user's actions, transmits the data to the supporting virtual system through the transmitter 4, and generates corresponding interactions on the virtual system.

[0037] Certainly, the present utility model can also have many other implementation manners. Based on this implementation manner, other implementation manners obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without any creative work all fall within the scope protected by the present utility model.
