Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of welding, in particular to a multi-station welding machine combination box for shipyards. Background Art

[0002] The statements herein only provide the background art related to the utility model and do not necessarily constitute the prior art.

[0003] Welding machines are widely used in the shipbuilding industry. Shipyards need to use a large number of welding machines for welding operations during shipbuilding and ship repair. With the increasing demand for the functions of the welding machine combination box in shipyards, the following problems gradually emerge in the traditional welding machine combination box:

[0004] 1. Only multiple welding machines are placed in the welding machine combination box, and there is no reserved storage position for the supporting welding equipment. Instead, all the supporting equipment is placed separately in another storage box, resulting in a messy layout. Before welding operations, welders need to re-arrange and then connect all the supporting equipment such as wire feeder + cable assembly + welding torch + grounding wire used with multiple welding machines to the corresponding positions, and the preparation work is cumbersome, time-consuming and laborious.

[0005] 2. Shipyards mostly use a total gas source distribution device to supply the shielding gas required for welding. The shielding gas is branched after entering from the total inlet end and then enters each welding torch for welding operations. Some products do not have a gas flow meter installed in the branch, so welders cannot adjust the branch gas flow during welding operations. And some products have installed a gas flow meter, but the gas flow meter is not correctly installed and fixed, resulting in inaccurate readings. Both of the above situations will directly or indirectly affect welding, resulting in unsightly or unqualified welds.

[0006] 3. Some combination boxes only place multiple welding machines inside the box without fixing them. When lifting or forklifting the entire set of equipment, the welding machines will move inside the combination box, posing certain safety hazards. And some combination boxes have fixed multiple welding machines inside the box, but there is no guiding and positioning structure inside the box, so it is impossible to quickly remove and quickly install each welding machine from inside the welding machine combination box during maintenance.
