Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of welding equipment, in particular to an automatic feeding mechanism for a spot welder. Background Art

[0002] A spot welder is a mechanical device that adopts the principle of double-sided and double-point overcurrent welding. During operation, two electrodes press on the workpiece, causing a certain contact resistance to form between the two layers of metal under the pressure of the two electrodes. When the welding current flows from one electrode to the other, instantaneously heat fusion welding is formed at the two contact resistance points. Moreover, the welding current instantaneously flows from the other electrode along the two workpieces to this electrode to form a loop, and the internal structure of the welded workpiece will not be damaged.

[0003] Currently, the welding process is manually operated. Workers manually place the workpiece at the designated position and then achieve welding connection through a resistance welding machine. This method has poor positioning accuracy, high labor intensity, and is prone to danger. In view of this technical problem, the present application proposes an automatic feeding mechanism for a spot welder. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the deficiencies existing in the prior art, and to propose an automatic feeding mechanism for a spot welder, aiming to improve the existing method in which workers hold the workpiece for welding, which has poor positioning accuracy, high labor intensity, and is prone to danger.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] An automatic feeding mechanism for a spot welder includes a support plate. A top rear side of the support plate is fixedly connected with an upper welding machine. Two sliding grooves are opened at the top of the support plate. A fixed block is slidably connected to the top of the sliding groove. A reciprocating screw rod is rotatably connected to an inner wall of the rear sliding groove. A reciprocating slider is arranged on an outer wall of the reciprocating screw rod. The rear side of the reciprocating slider is connected to a bottom of the upper welding machine through a switch assembly. A top of the reciprocating slider is fixedly connected to a bottom of the fixed block. Two adjusting grooves are opened at a top rear side of the fixed block. A clamping block is slidably connected to each of inner walls of the two adjusting grooves. A fixing component is arranged on a top of each clamping block. A first threaded rod is rotatably connected to each of inner walls of the two adjusting grooves. An outer wall of each first threaded rod is threadedly connected to the clamping block. A driving gear is fixedly connected to each of two adjacent sides of the two first threaded rods. The outer walls of the two driving gears are connected through a transmission component. A bottom rear side of the support plate is fixedly connected with a lower spot welder.

[0007] Further, the switch assembly includes a slider fixedly connected to the rear side of the reciprocating slider. A sliding top block is slidably connected to the top of the slider. A switch groove is formed at the bottom of the support plate. A self-resetting push-button switch is arranged on the inner wall of the switch groove. The contact base of the self-resetting push-button switch is connected to the power supply wire of the upper electric welding machine. A push switch is slidably connected to the inner wall of the switch groove. The top of the push switch abuts against the self-resetting push-button switch. The left side of the sliding top block abuts against the right side of the bottom of the self-resetting push-button switch.

[0008] Further, the fixing assembly includes two fixing grooves formed on the adjacent sides of the two clamping blocks. Clamping plates are slidably connected to the inner walls of the fixing grooves. Second threaded rods are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the fixing grooves. The outer walls of the second threaded rods are threadedly connected to the separated sides of the two clamping plates. Adjusting knobs are rotatably connected to the tops of the separated sides of the two clamping blocks. The bottom ends of the adjusting knobs are fixedly connected to the top ends of the second threaded rods.

[0009] Further, the transmission assembly includes a reverse gear meshed with the left side of the outer wall of the rear drive gear slider. Three transmission gears are meshed with the left side of the outer wall of the reverse gear. A transmission rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the left transmission gear. The transmission rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support plate. A large gear is fixedly connected to the front end of the transmission rod. The outer wall of the right drive gear is meshed with the outer wall of the right large gear.

[0010] Further, a motor is fixedly connected to the rear end of the right side of the support plate. The right end of the reciprocating screw rod is fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor.

[0011] Further, a crank is rotatably connected to the left end of the front side of the fixed block. The front end of the front drive gear is fixedly connected to the rear end of the crank.

[0012] Further, anti-slip stripes are arranged on the surface of the crank and the bottom side of the clamping plate.

[0013] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. In the utility model, by shaking the crank, the crank drives the first threaded rod to rotate. The rotation of the first threaded rod drives the drive gear to rotate. The rotation of the drive gear drives the large gear to rotate. The rotation of the large gear drives the transmission rod and the transmission gears to rotate. The reverse gear rotates with the transmission gear to drive the drive gear to rotate, driving the rear drive gear to rotate and driving the rear first threaded rod to rotate. The rotation of the two first threaded rods drives the clamping plates to slide. Place the workpiece on the clamping plates, rotate the adjusting knob to drive the second threaded rod to rotate, and the rotation of the second threaded rod drives the clamping plates to displace to clamp the workpiece. If the thickness of the workpiece changes or the length of the workpiece changes, it can also be clamped.

[0015] 2. In the present utility model, the reciprocating screw is rotated by the motor. The rotation of the reciprocating screw drives the reciprocating slider to move reciprocally on the chute. The fixed block moves reciprocally together with the reciprocating slider. When the reciprocating slider drives the sliding top block and the slider to move to the position of the actuating switch, the sliding top block presses against the actuating switch, causing the actuating switch to press against the self - reset button switch to start the upper electric welder to process the workpiece. At the same time, the slider slides along with the reciprocating slider, and the top of the slider slides under the bottom of the sliding top block. When the reciprocating slider slides towards the motor direction, the slider drives the sliding top block to no longer press against the actuating switch, and the electric welder is turned off. When the reciprocating slider slides to the rightmost end of the chute and the sliding top block abuts against the chute, the slider makes the slider slide to the rightmost side under the bottom of the sliding top block. Thus, it replaces the way of manual feeding, which has poor positioning accuracy, high labor intensity and is prone to danger. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
