Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of welding equipment, in particular to a welding gun with internal debris that is easy to clean. Background Art

[0002] For gas metal arc welding, the welding wire needs to be continuously fed into the molten pool so that it melts under the action of the arc, thereby achieving welding. However, during the feeding process, the welding wire will rub against the wall of the wire feed channel, resulting in a large amount of metal debris. Once the metal debris accumulates in the wire feed channel, it will block the wire feed channel, increase the resistance to wire feeding, slow down the wire feeding speed, and destroy the stability of the welding process parameters. In severe cases, it will cause the weld quality to deteriorate, or even directly lead to welding failure. Therefore, welding operators need to clean the wire feed channel frequently to make the wire feeding process smooth. In actual operation, welding operators cannot perceive the blockage of metal debris and can only make a rough judgment based on the quality of the weld or the appearance of the arc. If the metal debris generated by the friction between the welding wire and the channel can be sensed and an instruction to clean the channel is issued, it will greatly facilitate the work of the welding operator and directly improve the welding quality.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The specific implementation scheme of the present utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 5 The welding torch, which is shown to facilitate cleaning of internal debris, includes a welding torch body 1, a wire feed channel 2, a gun clean indicator 3, a control panel 4, a power supply 5, a cleaning section housing 61, an inner rod 62 of the cleaning section, a chip storage hole 63, a detection unit 8, and a transmission section 7. The welding torch body 1, the inner rod 62 of the cleaning section, and the transmission section 7 are all provided with a wire feed channel 2. The gun clean indicator 3 is provided above the connection between the welding torch body 1 and the cleaning section housing 61. The inner rod 62 of the cleaning section is provided with a chip storage hole 63. The welding torch head, the cleaning section 6, and the transmission section 7 are all threadedly connected. The control panel 4 and the power supply 5 are provided inside the gun clean indicator 3. The control panel 4 is provided with a start button, an off button, and a warning light. After the welding wire enters the wire feeding channel 2, the contact and friction between the welding wire and the inside of the wire feeding channel 2 will produce metal debris. The metal debris enters the chip storage hole 63 on the one hand, and enters the hole where the detection unit is located on the other hand. When the metal debris accumulates to a certain extent, it will connect the A detection electrode and the B detection electrode, so that current flows between the two detection electrodes 83. After the control board 4 detects this current signal, it will issue a gun clear prompt light prompt.

[0020] The cleaning section shell 61 can be made of transparent insulating PET material. The inner rod 62 of the cleaning section is tubular for the welding wire to pass through and can be made of metal components to improve the rigidity of the welding gun. The two ends of the cleaning section 6 are connected to the welding gun head and the transmission section 7 by threads, which is convenient for cleaning the debris in the chip storage hole 63 after disassembly. The gaskets between the two ends of the cleaning section shell 61 and the welding gun head and the transmission section 7 can be made of insulating materials, such as bakelite and epoxy materials.

[0021] The gun cleaning reminder 3 is located on the side of the welding gun head close to the cleaning section housing 61. A control panel 4 and a power supply 5 are provided inside the gun cleaning reminder 3. The control panel 4 is provided with a reminder light, a start button, and an off button. The power supply of the entire control panel 4 is provided by the power supply 5. The power supply 5 provides a DC power supply of 4.5~6V, and the power supply 5 can be composed of a battery.

[0022] The detection unit 8 consists of an insulating cover 82, two detection electrodes 83 including an A detection electrode and a B connecting electrode, and an insulating hole lining 84. The A detection electrode and the B connecting electrode are respectively connected to two connecting wires 81, namely the A connecting wire and the B connecting wire. The insulating cover 82 and the insulating hole lining 84 can both be made of insulating material phenolic resin. The A connecting wire and the B connecting wire are respectively connected to IO1 and GND on the control board 4.

[0023] In this embodiment, the control board 4 issues a warning signal via port 102. The warning light is preferably a two-color LED. The two colors are striking red and green. Red indicates that the torch wire channel needs to be cleaned as soon as possible, while green indicates that cleaning is not necessary. For ease of operation and visibility, the warning light, start button, and off button are located above the torch cleaning indicator 3 and enclosed in a transparent PET insulating cover.

[0024] When the start button 42 is turned on, the control board 4 first reads the value of IO1. If metal debris accumulates and forms a path between the A detection electrode and the B connection electrode, the prompt light outputs red; otherwise, if no path is formed between the A detection electrode and the B connection electrode, the prompt light outputs green.

[0025] The working process of this utility model is:

[0026] (1) The welding operator picks up the welding gun body 1.

[0027] (2) Press the start button and the control panel 4 starts working.

[0028] (3) The control board 4 determines whether a path is formed between the detection electrode A and the connection electrode B.

[0029] (4) When no path is formed, the indicator light will be solid green.

[0030] (5) When a path is formed, the indicator light turns red and stays on.

[0031] (7) The welding operator can observe the feedback from the prompt light or through the transparent cleaning section housing 61 to observe the accumulation of metal debris in the chip storage hole 63 and decide whether to clean the gun.

[0032] (8) When the operation is completed, press the close button.

[0033] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, as well as some embodiments of its application, and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
