Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of welding machine covers, and particularly relates to a light shield for a welding machine. Background Art
[0002] Welding is crucial in industrial production, but the intense light generated during the process, such as arc light, contains ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR), and high-intensity visible light, which can be harmful to workers' eyes and skin. Long-term exposure can lead to occupational diseases such as photoelectric dermatitis and ophthalmitis, threatening vision health and workplace safety.
[0003] Existing shading methods use a shield around the welding gun to block light. However, the heat generated during welding cannot be quickly dissipated, and instead accumulates within the shielding area, causing the welding gun and surrounding components to be exposed to high temperatures for extended periods. This not only accelerates the aging and damage of the welding gun itself, reducing its service life, but can also affect the performance and stability of the internal electronic components and mechanical structure of the welding gun. Therefore, a shading cover for a welding machine is provided to address this technical problem. Utility Model Content

The utility model provides a light shield for a welding machine, which can not only be quickly clamped and fixed to the outer surface of the welding gun through a clamping device, but also can accelerate the air circulation in the light shield frame during the welding process by using a cooling fan embedded in the connecting plate in conjunction with the air inlet provided on the rear surface of the light shield frame, thereby helping to quickly dissipate the heat generated during welding and prevent the temperature inside the light shield frame from being too high, thereby avoiding adverse effects on the service life of the welding gun. This effectively solves the problem of the light shield used in welding machines in the prior art, which has the problem of rapidly dissipating the heat generated during welding, which affects the service life of the welding gun itself.

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] In this embodiment, front, back, left, right, up and down are represented by Figure 1 Describes the datum. Figures 1-6 , the utility model provides a technical solution:
[0021] A light shield for a welding machine includes a connecting plate 1, a through opening 11 is opened through the center of the connecting plate 1, and an inverted L-shaped limit plate 12 fixedly connected to the connecting plate 1 is installed on the left and right sides of the through opening 11. A clamping device 2 is installed between the two inverted L-shaped limit plates 12, and the clamping device 2 is used to clamp and fix the connecting plate 1 and the welding gun. Inverted convex grooves 13 are opened through the four corners of the upper surface of the connecting plate 1, and a cooling fan 4 is fixedly installed in the inverted convex grooves 13. A light shielding frame 3 is vertically slidably installed on the outer surface of the connecting plate 1, and an air inlet 33 is opened through the rear surface of the light shielding frame 3.
[0022] It should be noted that the clamping device 2 includes two fixed plates 21 and two clamping plates 22. The two fixed plates 21 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the connecting plate 1 symmetrically in front and back. The clamping plates 22 are slidably installed between the two inverted L-shaped limit plates 12. The outer surfaces of the clamping plates 22 are fixedly installed with U-shaped rods 23. The U-shaped rods 23 are slidably connected to the corresponding fixed plates 21. Springs 24 are fixedly installed between the clamping plates 22 and the corresponding fixed plates 21.
[0023] When in use, the U-shaped rod 23 is pulled outward synchronously to move the two clamping plates 22 outward, so that the position of the through-hole 11 of the connecting plate 1 is opened. Afterwards, the through-hole 11 is used to put the connecting plate 1 on the outside of the welding gun, and the connecting plate 1 is adjusted to a suitable installation height so that the bottom of the light shielding frame 3 is slightly lower than the lower surface of the welding gun in a naturally hanging state. Then, the hand controlling the U-shaped rod 23 is released, and the clamping plate 22 moves inward under the action of the spring 24, thereby clamping the connecting plate 1 to the outer surface of the welding gun. When the welding gun is working, the welding gun moves downward with the help of the lifting structure of the welding machine body, and during the downward movement, the connecting plate 1 and the light shielding frame are driven 3 moves downward. Since the bottom of the light shielding frame 3 is lower than the welding gun, the lower surface of the light shielding frame 3 contacts the material to be welded before the welding gun starts welding, which can isolate the welding area from the surrounding environment in advance, and minimize the damage to surrounding personnel and equipment caused by strong light, sparks, and spatters generated during the welding process. During the welding process, the cooling fan 4 can be turned on to accelerate the air circulation in the light shielding frame 3 through the air inlet 33 and the inverted convex groove 13, thereby helping to quickly dissipate the heat generated during the welding process and prevent the internal temperature of the light shielding frame 3 from being too high, thereby effectively avoiding adverse effects on the service life of the welding gun.
[0024] In addition, combined Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, two ear blocks 31 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the light-shielding frame 3, and a T-shaped lifting rod 32 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the ear block 31. The T-shaped lifting rod 32 is slidably connected to the connecting plate 1. The light-shielding frame 3 is vertically slidably connected to the connecting plate 1 through the T-shaped lifting rod 32. The T-shaped lifting rod 32 can prevent the light-shielding frame 3 from being separated from the connecting plate 1 when it naturally hangs down.
[0025] In addition, during welding, in order to facilitate observation of the welding situation in the light shielding frame 3, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the front surface of the light shielding frame 3 is penetrated by an observation window 34, and dark protective glass 341 is fixedly installed within the observation window 34. This glass absorbs and filters out most of the strong light generated during the welding process, especially ultraviolet and infrared rays that are harmful to the human eye, while allowing a certain proportion of visible light to pass through. From the inside, the strong light is weakened by the glass's absorption and blocking effect, making it difficult for it to directly penetrate. From the outside, however, due to the relatively weak external ambient light, the visible light that passes through the glass is sufficient for the observer to clearly see the welding scene inside.
[0026] Finally, in order to increase the contact area between the clamping plate 22 and the welding gun and enhance the installation effect between the connecting plate 1 and the welding gun, as shown in FIG. Figure 2As shown, arc grooves are provided on the opposite surfaces of the two clamping plates 22. When the connecting plate 1 is installed between the welding gun, the outer surface of the welding gun fits into the arc grooves, which can increase the contact area during clamping and thus enhance the clamping and fixing effect.
