For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0026] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures and technologies are presented for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, so as to thoroughly understand the embodiments of the present utility model. However, those skilled in the art should clearly understand that the present utility model can also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details.

[0027] Such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, the utility model provides an electrode container, which can be a heat preservation bucket or a heat preservation box. The electrode container includes a container 10 for accommodating electrodes, a gravity sensing module 20, an AC power detection module 30, a processing module 40 and a heating module 50. The container includes a container cavity 101. The gravity sensing module 20 is arranged at the bottom of the container cavity and is connected to the processing module 40. The gravity sensing module 20 is used to monitor the weight of the container cavity 101 and send the weight of the container cavity to the processing module 40. The heating module 50 is arranged on the container cavity 101 and is connected to the processing module 40 for heating the container. The AC power detection module 30 is connected to the heating module 50, and the processing module 40 is connected to the AC power detection module. The AC power detection module 30 is used to monitor the status information of the heating module 50 and send the status information to the processing module 40.

[0028] Specifically, the gravity sensing module 20 is connected to the processing module 40 to monitor the weight information in the container cavity and send the weight information to the processing module 40. The processing module 40 obtains the weight information. When the weight information exceeds the preset weight threshold, a heating signal is sent to the heating module 50, so that the heating module 50 heats the container cavity 101 according to the heating signal. The AC power detection module 30 is connected to the processing module 40 to monitor the working state of the heating module 50 and send the working state of the heating module 50 to the processing module 40. The processing module 40 obtains the working state of the heating module 50. When the weight information exceeds the preset weight threshold and the time when the heating module 50 is determined not to work according to the working state of the heating module 50 exceeds the first preset time threshold, an alarm signal is generated.

[0029] The specific implementation process is as follows: The gravity sensing module 20 monitors the weight information in the container cavity and sends the weight information to the processing module 40. After receiving the weight information, the processing module 40 compares it with the preset weight threshold. If the current weight exceeds the preset weight threshold, it indicates that a sufficient number of electrodes have been placed in the container. The processing module 40 then sends a heating signal to the heating module 50 to instruct it to start working and heat the container cavity to maintain the storage temperature of the electrodes. The AC power detection module 30 monitors the working state of the heating module 50. The working state includes but is not limited to current and voltage parameters to ensure the normal operation of the heating module 50 and sends the real-time status information to the processing module 40. If the processing module 40 checks that the weight information in the container continuously exceeds the preset weight threshold for a preset time, but according to the information fed back by the AC power detection module 30, the working state of the heating module 50 indicates that the time it has not worked exceeds the preset first time threshold. The first time threshold includes but is not limited to one minute or two minutes. In this application, the first time threshold is five minutes. The processing module 40 then determines it as an abnormal situation. The processing module 40 will generate an alarm signal.

[0030] In one embodiment, the electrode container further includes a container cover 102, and the container cover 102 is connected to the container cavity.

[0031] Furthermore, the electrode container further includes a travel switch module connected to the processing module 40. The travel switch module includes a contact and a touch plate. The contact is disposed on the container cover 102, and the touch plate is disposed on the container cavity; alternatively, the contact is disposed on the container cavity, and the touch plate is disposed on the container cover 102. The electrode container further includes an alarm module 70 connected to the processing module 40. The alarm module 70 is configured to give an alarm according to an alarm signal. The alarm module 70 includes one or more of a sound alarm device, a light alarm device, and a vibration alarm device. Among them, the sound alarm device can be a horn, the light alarm can be an LED lamp, and the vibration alarm can be a vibrator.

[0032] Specifically, the travel switch module opens and closes as the container cover 102 and the container cavity open and close. The processing module 40 detects the opening and closing state of the travel switch module. When the opening time of the travel switch module exceeds a second preset time threshold, the second preset time threshold in this application is 30 seconds, an alarm signal is generated.

[0033] The specific implementation process is as follows: The connection manner between the container cover 102 and the container cavity includes but is not limited to snap connection and hinge connection. The travel switch module consists of a contact and a touch plate, and the contact and the touch plate are respectively installed on the container cover 102 and the container cavity, or vice versa, and the specific installation positions are determined according to design requirements. The contact and the touch plate will contact each other when the container cover 102 is closed, thereby triggering the closed state of the switch; when the container cover 102 is opened, the contact and the touch plate are separated, and the switch is in the open state. The processing module 40 continuously monitors the opening and closing state of the travel switch module. The processing module 40 continuously monitors the opening and closing state of the travel switch module. When the container cover 102 is closed, the contact and the touch plate are in contact, and the switch is closed. The processing module 40 receives a closed signal; when the container cover 102 is opened, the contact and the touch plate are separated, and the switch is opened. The processing module 40 receives an open signal. The processing module 40 records the time of the travel switch module from the open state to the closed state again. If the container cover 102 remains open for a long time, that is, the opening time exceeds 30 seconds, this may mean that the operator forgets to close the container cover 102, or there are other abnormal situations.

[0034] Once it is detected that the opening time of the container lid 102 exceeds the second preset time threshold, the processing module 40 will generate an alarm signal. The alarm signal can be issued in the same way as above, such as a sound alarm, an LED indicator, etc., to remind the operator to close the container lid 102 in time and avoid the welding electrode being exposed to a bad environment for a long time. The processing module 40 continues to cyclically monitor the weight information inside the container, the working state of the heating module 50, and the opening and closing state of the container lid 102 to ensure the comprehensive management and safe operation of the welding electrode container.

[0035] In one embodiment, the welding electrode container further includes a power supply module, which is respectively connected to the heating module 50, the gravity sensing module 20, the AC power detection module 30, the processing module 40, the heating module 50, and the travel module 60 to supply power to the heating module 50, the gravity sensing module 20, the AC power detection module 30, the processing module 40, the heating module 50, and the travel module 60. In this application, the power supply module uses a DC battery as the power source, which also ensures normal operation in the absence of an external AC power supply.

[0036] In one embodiment, the processing module 40 is an STM32 microcontroller.

[0037] In one embodiment, the AC power detection module 30 includes a relay. The coil of the relay is connected to the heating module 50, and the contact of the relay is connected to the processing module 40. The contact of the relay closes or opens according to the on / off state of the heating module 50, and the processing module 40 detects the working state of the heating module 50 according to the opening and closing state of the contact of the relay.

[0038] It should be noted that the power source of the power supply module is a DC power source, and the power supply module further includes a DA-AC conversion module. The DC power source is connected to the heating module 50 through the conversion module to supply power to the heating module 50. The heating module 50 uses standard heating elements (such as PTC heaters, electric heating tubes, etc.) to heat the welding electrode, and the AC power detection module 30 is used to monitor the state of the AC power line, including voltage, current, etc.

[0039] The specific working process is as follows. When not in use, the relay in the AC power detection module 30 remains in an inactive state, the contacts are open, the heating module 50 is not powered on and is in a closed state, and the processing module 40 continuously monitors the state of the relay contacts. When the heating module 50 is started, the heating module 50 receives the start signal and powers on to work, and then activates the relay coil to close its contacts. The processing module 40 monitors the change in the contact state in real time to confirm that the heating module 50 has been successfully started and continues to work. During the entire heating process, the processing module 40 continuously monitors the contact state to ensure the stable operation of the heating module 50. If the heating module 50 stops working due to reasons such as power failure or malfunction of the heating module 50, the relay contacts will disconnect again. At this time, the processing module 40 will identify it as a fault state and trigger the alarm mechanism and possible safety measures.

[0040] In one embodiment, the electrode container further includes a temperature sensing module disposed in the container cavity. The temperature sensing module is connected to the processing module 40 and is used to monitor the temperature in the container cavity and send it to the processing module 40.

[0041] In one embodiment, the electrode container further includes a WIFI module connected to the processing module to realize the connection between the electrode container and the WiFi network, allowing remote devices (such as WiFi terminals) to access the status information of the electrode container, receive alarm signals or send control instructions.

[0042] It can be noted that the present application can also trigger an alarm by monitoring the temperature in the container cavity. After receiving the temperature data sent by the temperature sensing module, the processing module 40 will analyze it according to the preset threshold. If the monitored temperature exceeds the safe range or reaches the preset alarm threshold, the processing module 40 will trigger the alarm mechanism. The alarm methods can include sound alarms, light prompts or vibration prompts.

[0043] The present utility model also provides an electrode heat preservation device, including a remote terminal processing module 40 and the electrode container of any one of the above embodiments. The remote terminal processing module 40 is connected to the electrode container and is used to receive the data reported by the electrode container. The processing module 40 of the electrode container is connected to the remote terminal processing module 40. The remote terminal processing module 40 receives the data reported by the electrode container, and the data can be alarm data. The terminal processing module 40 will send a text message notification to the preset device.

[0044] The utility model relates to an electrode container and an electrode heat preservation device. The electrode container is connected with a gravity sensing module, a heating module and a processing module. An alternating current power supply detection module is respectively connected with the heating module and the processing module. The gravity sensing module monitors the weight of the container cavity, the alternating current power supply detection module monitors the state of the heating module, and the heating module heats the container, effectively preventing the electrodes in the container from being affected by moisture and oxidized. The efficiency of welding operations and the quality of finished products are guaranteed, and welding defects caused by electrode quality problems are reduced. The electrode heat preservation device is communicatively connected with a remote terminal processing module 40 through the processing module of the electrode container, so that the data reported by the electrode container can be received, and remote monitoring of the state of the electrode container is realized.

[0045] It can be understood that the above embodiments only represent the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent of the present utility model.
