Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of welding robot equipment, specifically to a water-cooled camera box for a welding robot. Background Technology
[0002] Welding robots are industrial robots used for welding. They are multi-purpose, reprogrammable, automatically controlled manipulators with three or more programmable axes, used in industrial automation. When used in intelligent welding, a surveying camera needs to be mounted on the robot. To protect the camera from damage by flying sparks during welding, it is placed inside a protective case. However, due to the needs of surveying and the limitations of the camera's focal length, its position is relatively close to the tip of the welding torch. Therefore, the heat generated by the welding torch during welding and the heat generated by the camera during normal operation accumulate excessively inside the protective case. This results in an excessively high operating temperature for the camera inside the case, causing instability and damage to the camera, thus reducing its lifespan. Utility Model Content

The cooling spiral water pipe mechanism includes a spiral water pipe. The inlet and outlet of the spiral water pipe are connected to a cooling water tank through a water pipe and a water pipe, respectively. Multiple heat-conducting protrusions are provided on the spiral water pipe. One end of each heat-conducting protrusion is connected to the inside of the spiral water pipe, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the camera housing shell.

[0029] Example 1
[0030] like Figures 1-5 As shown in the figure, the welding robot water-cooled camera box of this specific embodiment includes a cooling spiral water pipe mechanism 2 installed in the left panel 13 and right wall panel 14 of the camera box shell 1; the inlet 23 and outlet 24 of the cooling spiral water pipe mechanism 2 are respectively connected to the cooling water tank 3 through water pipe 6 and water pipe 7; the cooling water tank 3 is equipped with water pump 4 and water pump 5, which are respectively connected to water pipe 6 and water pipe 7.
[0031] The cooling spiral water pipe mechanism 2 includes spiral water pipes 21 installed in the left panel 13 and the right wall panel 14 respectively; a plurality of heat-conducting protrusions 22 are provided on the inner walls of the left panel 13 and the right wall panel 14, the heat-conducting protrusions 22 extend into the spiral water pipes 21 in the inner cavity of the left panel 13 and the right wall panel 14, and the plurality of heat-conducting protrusions 22 form a spiral rapid heat-conducting component that cooperates with the spiral water pipes 21; the inner opening of the heat-conducting protrusions 22 is connected to the inside of the camera housing 1.
[0032] The heat-conducting protrusion 22 is cylindrical or conical in shape, which facilitates a larger contact area with the camera housing 1, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency.
[0033] The inner walls of the heat-conducting protrusion 22, the left panel 13, and the right wall panel 14 are all made of aluminum alloy.
[0034] The thermally conductive protrusion and the camera housing are sealed with waterproof adhesive and a waterproof sealing ring.
[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0036] In this design, the left panel 13 and right wall panel 14 of the camera housing 1 contain a cooling spiral water pipe mechanism 2. The front panel 11 of the camera housing 1 is open and hinged by a protective plate 8, which is controlled to open and close by a cylinder installed on the bottom edge of the outer side of the left panel 13. A camera is installed inside the camera housing 1 and can be fixed to the inner wall of the bottom panel 16 of the camera housing 1. The top panel 15, bottom panel 16, and rear panel 12 of the camera housing 1 are solid plates; the left panel 13 and right wall panel 14 are hollow plates to facilitate the installation of the cooling spiral water pipe mechanism 2.
[0037] The cooling spiral water pipe mechanism 2 includes spiral water pipes 21 installed in the left panel 13 and the right wall panel 14 respectively. Several heat-conducting protrusions 22 are provided on the inner walls of the left panel 13 and the right wall panel 14. The heat-conducting protrusions 22 extend into the spiral water pipes 21 in the inner cavity of the left panel 13 and the right wall panel 14. The several heat-conducting protrusions 22 form a spiral rapid heat-conducting component that cooperates with the spiral water pipes 21. The inner opening of the heat-conducting protrusions 22 is connected to the inside of the camera housing 1.
[0038] The cooling spiral water pipe mechanism 2 in the left panel 13 and the right wall panel 14 is respectively provided with a water inlet and a water outlet, and is connected to the cooling water tank 3 through water pipe 6 and water pipe 7 respectively. The cooling water tank 3 is provided with water pump 4 and water pump 5, which are connected to water pipe 6 and water pipe 7 respectively.
[0039] In use, the cooling water tank 3 is equipped with water pump 4 and water pump 5, which are connected to water pipe 6 and water pipe 7, respectively. When water pump 4 operates, it guides cold water to the cooling spiral water pipe mechanism 2 in the left panel 13 and right wall panel 14, carrying away the heat generated by the camera inside the camera housing 1. Then, water pump 5 operates to return the heated water in the spiral water pipe 21 in the left panel 13 and right wall panel 14 back to the cooling water tank 3. This cycle repeats continuously to dissipate heat and lower the temperature, ensuring the camera's normal operating temperature.
[0040] To further improve heat conduction and dissipation, several heat-conducting protrusions 22 are provided on the inner walls of the left panel 13 and the right wall panel 14. These protrusions extend into the spiral water pipes 21 within the inner cavities of the left panel 13 and the right wall panel 14. The protrusions 22 form a spiral rapid heat-conducting component that cooperates with the spiral water pipes 21. The inner openings of the protrusions 22 are connected to the inside of the camera housing 1. The intersection of the spiral water pipes 21 with the inner wall of the left panel 13 or the right wall panel 14 can be sealed using waterproof adhesive and waterproof sealing rings. The heat-conducting protrusions 22 are cylindrical or conical in shape. The heat generated by the camera housing 1 can directly reach the inner cavity of the protrusions 22, which are then directly placed within the spiral water pipes 21. Therefore, the water in the protrusions 22 can directly carry away the heat, thereby greatly improving the heat conduction and dissipation efficiency of the camera housing.
[0041] In this design, in order to further improve the heat conduction and heat dissipation effect, the inner walls of the heat conduction protrusion 22, the left panel 13, and the right wall panel 14 are made of aluminum alloy. This can further improve the heat conduction and heat dissipation effect, ensure the temperature control inside the camera housing 1, and thus ensure the normal use of the camera inside the camera housing 1 and extend the service life of the camera.
[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
