Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of welding equipment, and particularly relates to a limit structure of a welding machine. Background Art

[0002] A welding machine is a device that converts electrical energy into thermal energy, mechanical energy, or chemical energy required for welding, and is mainly used for welding metals. It can form a permanent bond by applying pressure to metal workpieces or by melting the base metal and filler with the arc heat between the electrode and the workpiece. A welding machine usually consists of a power source, a control device, a wire feeding device, a welding torch, etc. The power source provides the electrical energy required for welding, the control device is used to control welding parameters such as current, voltage, and welding speed, the wire feeding device is responsible for feeding the welding wire into the welding area, and the welding torch or welding pliers are the main tools for the welder to operate and are used for actual welding work. The limit structure of the welding machine is mainly to ensure the stability and position accuracy of the welded parts during the welding process, prevent the welded parts from moving or shifting during the welding process, and thus improve the welding quality and efficiency.

[0003] A welding part limit structure for a spot welding machine with the publication number "CN213497408U" includes a base. The upper surface of the base is fixedly connected with a frame and an operating table. The upper surface of the operating table is fixedly connected with two U-shaped frames. A strip-shaped opening is formed in the middle of the surface of the operating table. The two U-shaped frames are respectively located on both sides of the strip-shaped opening. One side of the outer wall of each of the two U-shaped frames is fixedly connected with a motor. The driving end of the motor extends into the interior of the U-shaped frame and is fixedly connected with a first threaded rod. The end of the first threaded rod away from the motor is rotatably connected with the inner wall of the U-shaped frame. The limit structure of the utility model is convenient for limiting and fixing plate-shaped welded parts of different sizes, and at the same time is convenient for automatically moving to move the welded parts, improving the stability of the movement of the welded parts during the welding process, improving the work efficiency and the qualified rate of products, and reducing the labor intensity of workers to a certain extent.

[0004] Although the above-mentioned utility model is convenient for limiting and fixing plate-shaped welded parts of different sizes, and at the same time is convenient for automatically moving to move the welded parts, improving the stability of the movement of the welded parts during the welding process, improving the work efficiency and the qualified rate of products, and reducing the labor intensity of workers to a certain extent, it is impossible to replace the welding disc and the clamping assembly. Then it means that it can only adapt to one or a few specific welding requirements, which greatly limits the flexibility of the spot welding machine in various application scenarios. Moreover, when the shape, size, or material of the workpiece to be welded changes, if the clamping assembly cannot be replaced to adapt to the new workpiece, then it is necessary to stop the machine for adjustment or replace the entire device, which will cause the production line to stop and thus affect the production efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model

At the end of the moving plate away from the first return spring, a locking block is fixedly connected. The end of the locking block away from the moving plate extends out of the side end of the connecting block. The bottom end of the locking block is provided with an inclined surface. At the upper end of the fixing column, a connecting groove is opened. The connecting groove is inserted into the connecting block. Inside the connecting groove, a locking groove is opened. The locking groove is clamped with the locking block, reducing the complexity and uncertainty in the installation process of the welding plate, lowering the operation difficulty, making it easier for users to get started, improving work efficiency, and also being able to adapt to different specifications and types of welding parts, improving the practicability and utilization rate of the equipment.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the unlocking components include an internal hole, a second return spring, a connecting column, a pressing block and a pushing plate.

At the end of the pressing block close to the second return spring, a connecting column is fixedly connected. The second return spring is sleeved outside the connecting column. The end of the connecting column away from the pressing block extends into the locking groove. At the end of the connecting column away from the pressing block, a pushing plate is fixedly connected. The pushing plate is slidably connected with the locking groove, facilitating the user to thoroughly clean the welding plate, ensuring the cleanliness of the welding plate, and improving the welding quality.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, a cylinder is installed at one end inside the fixing frame. The telescopic end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing column. Positioning rods are symmetrically and fixedly connected to both ends inside the fixing frame. The moving block is sleeved outside the positioning rods, and the moving block is slidably connected to the positioning rods. A T-shaped groove is opened at the bottom end inside the fixing frame. A T-shaped block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the moving block, and the T-shaped block is slidably connected to the T-shaped groove, ensuring the welding accuracy and consistency, helping to improve the product quality and reducing the generation of defective products.

The other end of the tension spring is fixedly connected to a second limiting column. The second limiting column is slidably connected to the moving hole. The end of the second limiting column away from the tension spring is fixedly connected to a second clamping block, which can prevent the workpiece from moving or shaking during the welding process, thus ensuring the welding stability and quality.

[0012] In summary, the present utility model mainly has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] First, in the present utility model, the welding plate and the fixing column are combined, and at the same time, the connecting block is inserted into the connecting groove. During the insertion process, the extrusion force presses on the bottom inclined surface of the locking block, causing the locking block to drive the moving plate to compress the first return spring. When the locking block moves to the locking groove, the first return spring resets, the moving plate rebounds, and the locking block pops out and is snap-fitted with the locking groove to complete the installation of the welding plate, reducing the complexity and uncertainty during the installation process of the welding plate, lowering the operation difficulty, making it easier for users to get started, and improving the work efficiency. On the production line where welding parts need to be frequently replaced, this advantage is particularly prominent, which can save a lot of time, improve the production efficiency, and at the same time can adapt to different specifications and types of welding parts, improving the practicability and utilization rate of the equipment;

[0014] Second, in the present utility model, when pressing the pressing block, the connecting column drives the push plate to move, and at the same time, the second return spring is compressed. The push plate pushes the locking block, causing the locking block to drive the moving plate to compress the first return spring. At the same time, the locking block ends the snap connection with the locking groove. Then, the welding plate is lifted upward, the connecting block ends the insertion connection with the connecting groove, and at the same time, the pressing block is released, the second return spring resets, and the pressing block pops out to complete the disassembly of the welding plate, enabling maintenance personnel to quickly remove the welding plate from the spot welder for maintenance or replacement. This reduces the downtime, improves the utilization rate of the equipment, reduces the maintenance cost, and during the welding process, impurities such as welding slag and oil stain will accumulate on the welding plate, affecting the welding quality. It is convenient for users to thoroughly clean the welding plate, ensuring the cleanliness of the welding plate and improving the welding quality. Brief Description of the Drawings
