The welding slag, spatter and residue generated during the welding process may clog the nozzle and conductive nozzle of the welding gun, hindering the flow of shielding gas and the feeding of welding wire, resulting in unstable welding arc. Therefore, a fast gun cleaning mechanism for a welding robot is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0017] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] 1. In the utility model, a cleaning component is provided. When the welding gun of the welding robot needs to be cleaned, the welding gun is placed in the fixed cylinder on the fixed frame by controlling the robot. At this time, the driving motor on the motor plate is started, and the driving motor drives the driving rod to rotate, the driving rod drives the worm to rotate, the worm drives the worm gear to rotate, the worm gear drives the rotating column to rotate, the rotating column drives the reciprocating screw to rotate, and the reciprocating screw drives the threaded sleeve to move back and forth through the thread.

When the gear on the half gear contacts the toothed belt, the half gear drives the toothed belt to move, and the toothed belt drives the vibration rod to move. The vibration rod squeezes the telescopic spring through the ring. When the gear on the half gear falls off the toothed belt, the vibration rod is driven by the elastic force of the telescopic spring through the ring to hit the lower surface of the collection trough. The continuous impact and vibration accelerate the debris to fall into the collection trough. Collecting welding debris can reduce clutter in the workplace, create a tidier working environment, prevent debris from entering the interior of mechanical equipment, and reduce equipment failures and maintenance needs.
