Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of resistance welding, and more particularly to a pliers-type cap removal wrench. Background Art

[0002] Resistance welding is the most widely used welding method among pressure welding methods. It uses the resistance heat generated by an electric current passing through the weldment and the contact points as a heat source to locally melt or plasticize the weldment. Simultaneously, pressure is applied to the heated area to form a strong weld joint. The welding process requires no filler metal, offers high productivity, minimizes weld deformation, and is easily automated.

[0003] Resistance spot welding is primarily suitable for joining thin plate overlaps less than 4 mm thick, metal mesh, and cross-reinforced steel. It is primarily suitable for welding mild steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, nickel, titanium, and their alloys, as well as composite and electroplated mesh. It is widely used in the manufacture of aviation, aerospace, high-speed rail, automobiles, reinforced components, furniture, and other products.

[0004] During the welding production process, the electrode cap is a consumable and easy to wear. The welding life of electrode caps of different working conditions, different welding processes and different specifications is different. Therefore, replacing the electrode cap is an indispensable process in welding production. During the welding process, the electrode cap and the electrode rod (arm) contact surface of the welding clamp will be tightly connected together. Professional tools and equipment are required to assist in disassembly.

[0005] Currently, the existing equipment and tools for removing electrode caps cannot meet the removal needs of all welding clamp electrode caps, and have poor practicality and compatibility. The equipment of the present invention can meet the current needs of removing all welding clamp electrode caps, and has better practicality and compatibility. Utility Model Content

[0006] In response to the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions: a pliers-type cap removal wrench, comprising an upper jaw and a lower jaw, the upper jaw being fixedly connected to the upper jaw handle, and the lower jaw being fixedly connected to the lower jaw handle, the upper jaw and the lower jaw being hinged by a rotating shaft, and U-shaped protrusions of the same size and shape being provided in the U-shaped jaws of the upper jaw and the lower jaw, the thickness of the U-shaped protrusions of the upper jaw and the U-shaped protrusions of the lower jaw after superposition is less than the height of the annular gap between the electrode cap and the electrode rod.

[0007] Furthermore, the hinged connection is in the form of up-and-down hinged connection or X-shaped hinged connection.

[0008] Furthermore, the articulation method is up and down articulation.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper and lower jaw handles are long round rods, and one end of the long round rod is provided with a cylindrical notch which is nested and assembled with the cylindrical pin of the upper jaw or the lower jaw.

[0010] Furthermore, a spring assembly in a compressed state is provided between the upper pliers handle and the lower pliers handle.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0012] It is easy to carry, has low manufacturing cost, is easy to popularize, and is simple to use and operate.

[0013] By inserting the U-shaped protrusions of the upper and lower jaws into the joint between the electrode cap and the electrode rod, the wrench is used to separate the upper and lower jaws to remove the electrode cap from the electrode rod. This simple operation, fast removal, and high efficiency increase the speed of cap removal and replacement. Furthermore, the purely manual mechanical structure is easy to carry, low in cost, and easily popularized in production workshops. Replacement can be performed directly on-site, without the need to disassemble the electrode arm and then move the entire assembly to a fixed large-scale cap removal device for disassembly. This greatly reduces disassembly time and downtime, improving work efficiency and increasing enterprise production capacity. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
