[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a weld protection device, including a filler body 1, a sealing gasket 2 fixedly attached to the lower end of the filler body 1, and a protection mechanism 3 for protecting the weld on the filler body 1.

[0026] The protective mechanism 3 includes a connector 31, a partition 32, a through hole 33, a guide plate 34, and an exhaust hole 35. The connector 31 is fixedly sleeved on the upper end of the filler body 1. The partition 32 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the filler body 1. The through hole 33 is opened in the partition 32. The guide plate 34 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the filler body 1. The exhaust hole 35 is opened on the side wall of the filler body 1. The partition 32 can divide the interior of the filler body 1 into two chambers. The connector 31 is located in the upper chamber. The through hole 33 is located on the partition 32 and away from the connector 31. The guide plate 34 is located in the lower chamber and away from the through hole 33. The exhaust hole 35 is located in the lower chamber and away from the through hole 33.

[0027] This utility model utilizes the various components of the above-mentioned protection mechanism 3 in conjunction with each other. A protective gas storage device is connected to the connector 31, and protective gas is filled into the filler body 1 through the connector 31. The internal partition 32 of the filler body 1 is divided into two parts. The upper space of the partition 32 can stabilize the flow of the newly filled protective gas. Then, the protective gas enters the lower layer of the filler body 1 through the through hole 33 on the partition 32, and the guide plate 34 is located on the right side of the through hole 33. After passing through the through hole 33, the gas moves to the right and is then guided by the guide plate 34 before being discharged through the exhaust hole 35 on the lower right side of the filler body 1, thus protecting the weld. The guide plate 34 at the lower end of the partition 32 can prevent air from flowing back into the interior of the filler body 1 from the exhaust hole 35, thereby affecting the concentration of the protective gas.

[0028] The lower ends of the guide vane 34 and the baffle 32 are in contact, and the number of guide vanes 34 is multiple and they are arranged in an interlaced array.

[0029] The baffles 34 are staggered, which can prevent a large amount of air from flowing back into the interior of the filler body 1, reduce the concentration of protective gas, and the multiple sets of baffles 34 can also prevent air from flowing back to the upper space of the filler body 1.

[0030] A fixing block 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the exhaust port 35, a filter screen 5 is in contact with the fixing block 4, and a moving block 6 is slidably connected to the filter screen 5.

[0031] The filter screen 5 can prevent foreign objects generated during the welding process from passing through the vent 35, and can also filter some of the air that flows back into the filler body 1.

[0032] The filler body 1 has an installation groove 7, and a guide rod 8 is fixedly connected in the installation groove 7. A spring 9 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 8.

[0033] By pushing the movable block 6 into the mounting groove 7, the restriction on the filter screen 5 can be released, and the filter screen 5 can be removed by moving it.

[0034] One end of the spring 9 is fixedly connected to the movable block 6, and the other end of the spring 9 is fixedly connected to the mounting groove 7.

[0035] As the movable block 6 slides into the mounting slot 7, it will compress the spring 9, causing the spring 9 to generate elastic force. Then, under the action of the elastic force of the spring 9, the movable block 6 can be reset.

[0036] The movable block 6 is slidably connected to the outside of the guide rod 8 and slidably connected to the mounting groove 7.

[0037] During the movement of the moving block 6, the guide rod 8 can provide guidance to prevent the moving block 6 from deviating.

[0038] The shape of the mounting slot 7 is consistent with the side shape of the movable block 6.

[0039] The mounting groove 7 has the same shape as the side of the movable block 6, which can reduce the gap and prevent gas from entering the interior of the filler body 1 through the gap instead of passing through the filter screen 5.

[0040] Filter 5 is made of metal.

[0041] The filter screen 5 of the metal product can extend its service life.

[0042] In practical use, the sealing gasket 2, which is attached to the lower end of the filler body 1, is placed on the plate to be welded. A protective gas storage device is connected externally through the connector 31, and protective gas is filled into the filler body 1 through the connector 31. The partition 32 fixed inside the filler body 1 divides the interior of the filler body 1 into two parts. The upper space of the partition 32 can stabilize the flow of the newly filled protective gas. Then, the protective gas enters the lower layer of the filler body 1 through the through holes 33 opened on the partition 32. Since the guide plates 34 are arranged in an alternating manner, the gas can be guided by the guide plates 34. Finally, the gas passes through the filler body. After the exhaust gas is discharged through the vent 35 on the side of the device body 1, it is blown towards the weld seam, thereby protecting the weld seam with protective gas. The guide plate 34 at the lower end of the partition plate 32 can prevent a large amount of air from flowing back into the interior of the filler body 1 through the exhaust vent 35, which would result in a large concentration difference of protective gas and thus affect the protection of the weld seam by the protective gas. Some of the backflowing gas can be filtered by the filter screen 5 to remove impurities. When the filter screen 5 needs to be removed, simply push the moving block 6 to slide it into the mounting groove 7 to release the restriction on the filter screen 5. At this time, the filter screen 5 can be removed by moving the filter screen 5.

[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
