Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of welding, in particular to an anti-collision precision wire feeding device. Background Art

[0002] Wire feeding is a very important operation in the welding process. The wire feeding method of manual argon arc welding mostly uses the welder's fingers to twist the wire to complete the wire feeding process. It is very inconvenient for the welder to operate the wire feeding. Therefore, manual wire feeding has poor accuracy, poor consistency, and unstable wire feeding, which leads to low welding production efficiency and poor welding forming consistency. In addition, the length of the welding wire held by the welder is limited, and the welding wire needs to be frequently taken out during long-term welding, which reduces the welding efficiency. After each section of welding is completed, a small section of welding wire will remain and cannot be used, resulting in waste. Automatic wire feeders generally have a control part that provides parameter settings, the drive part drives the wire feeding under the control of the control part, and the wire feeding nozzle part sends the welding wire to the welding gun position.

[0003] The prior art CN115365602A discloses a welding wire feeding device, and the technical solution discloses that "the present invention relates to the technical field of wire feeders, in particular to a welding wire feeding device; it can realize the self-stop of the welding wire reel shaft in the wire broken state, avoid the welding wire from being scattered and loose, and ensure the continuous tension and relaxation supply of the welding wire; it includes a wire feeding mechanism and an anti-loose wire release mechanism for the welding wire, the anti-loose wire release mechanism includes a mounting frame, a welding wire reel shaft and a broken wire brake assembly; the welding wire reel shaft can be rotatably mounted on the mounting frame, and the broken wire brake assembly includes a bracket, a pull rod, a cross bar, a first covering belt and a tension spring, the bracket is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame, the cross bar is hingedly mounted on the bracket, the first covering belt covers the welding wire reel shaft, one end of the first covering belt is fixedly connected to the mounting frame, and the other end of the first covering belt is connected to the bottom of the pull rod, the cross bar is hinged to the pull rod, two sets of guide wheels are rotatably mounted on the cross bar, and the cross bar is connected to the mounting frame through a first spring; the height of the wire feeding mechanism is higher than the height of the cross bar".
