Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding equipment, and in particular to a welding torch clamping mechanism capable of image acquisition. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as automated welding production and automated metal cutting production, clamps are needed to fix welding torches. In order to observe the welding process at any time, some welding equipment is equipped with a camera at the welding torch, such as the robot stud welding gripper described in application number: CN201822258684.1. However, this device has a relatively complex structure, high cost, and is not flexible enough. The angle of the camera is also not adjustable to adapt to welding torches of different lengths. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To provide a low-cost, flexible, and adjustable-angle welding torch clamp, this utility model proposes a welding torch clamping mechanism capable of image acquisition. Its structure includes: two clamps for holding the welding torch, the clamps being assembled to form a circular groove that accommodates the welding torch; each clamp has a fixing plate extending forward and backward, with several screw holes on the fixing plate for screwing the two clamps together to secure the welding torch; one clamp also has a connecting block fixed to it, with a square groove on the right side of the connecting block containing a through-hole; a bracket is located at the lower part of the connecting block, and a camera assembly is mounted on the bracket; the camera assembly includes a disc-shaped outer shell, with a camera mounted on its outer periphery; the shaft of the outer shell is movably connected to the bracket; several positioning grooves are also provided on the outer periphery of the outer shell; an elastic limiting post is mounted on the lower part of the connecting block directly above the outer shell, the end of which abuts against any of the positioning grooves as the outer shell rotates.

[0004] Preferably, the elastic limiting post is a rubber or polyurethane elastomer product.

[0005] Preferably, the mounting hole is a pin hole or a threaded hole.

[0006] Preferably, the lower part of the connecting block is also provided with a wire clamp, and the bus of the camera component is located on the outer periphery of the housing, passes through the wire clamp and is led out.

[0007] In use, the welding torch is fixed to the clamp and the nut is tightened to clamp the welding torch. Then, the outer shell of the camera component is rotated, and the elastic limit post is used to lock the outer shell in a suitable position so that the camera is facing the welding point, so as to facilitate observation of the welding status. The design of the square groove and mounting hole of the connecting block makes it easy to install this clamping mechanism on the robotic arm or other support structure. This utility model has low cost, certain versatility, and certain technological progress. Attached Figure Description
