Abstract

The utility model discloses a push-pull wire welding gun carrying an air-cooled cable. The push-pull wire welding gun uses the air-cooled cable. The cable comprises an insulating sheath, a copper stranded wire, a joint assembly and a crimping iron ring. A gas channel is arranged in the air-cooled cable, and when welding work is carried out, protective gas continuously flows in the channel and is in full contact with the copper stranded wire. Protective gas is led in from the gas connector on the central plug at the tail end of the welding gun, reaches the gun neck end through the gas cooling cable and flows out from the nozzle. When the protective gas flows, part of heat on the copper stranded wires is taken away, so that heat dissipation of the copper stranded wires is accelerated, and the temperature rise of the cable can be reduced.

The rubber tube 304 is sleeved outside the copper stranded wire 305, and a gap 306 for gas flow is formed between the rubber tube 304 and the copper stranded wire 305.

[0025] The first joint assembly is made of copper alloy material, and a first joint assembly through hole 303 is formed in the first joint assembly along the central axis direction.

The other end of the first joint assembly is a first red copper pipe, and there is a first gap at a certain position on the first red copper pipe. The first red copper pipe is crimped with one end of the copper stranded wire 305. The copper stranded wire is inserted into the first red copper pipe with a length of about 1-1.5 cm, and the two are crimped by special equipment, and the crimping length does not exceed the first gap. Due to the existence of the above-mentioned first gap, the part after the first gap of the first red copper pipe will not be deformed during crimping, and the deformed part of the crimping and the first gap serve as part of the gas passage. The first joint assembly after crimping bears the welding current with the copper stranded wire. The cable insulation rubber tube 304 is an internally reinforced structure rubber tube, and one end of the rubber tube 304 is wrapped around the other end of the first joint assembly. The covered part of the rubber tube is crimped on the first joint assembly by an iron ring 310, forming a joint with a certain air tightness.

The joint surface between the second joint assembly spherical surface 309 and the main body conical surface 403 of the wire feeding mechanism main body 103 is designed as a main body conical surface 403.

Due to the existence of the pre-tightening force, the joint can better bear the welding current. The body internal thread 404 on the wire feeder body 103 is connected and tightened with the external thread 308 of the second joint assembly of the gas cooled cable 102, at this time the body conical surface 403 and the spherical surface 309 of the second joint assembly are extruded with each other by the thread pre-tightening force, the gas channel on the gas cooled cable is connected with the body gas channel 402, and the connection has strong sealing property. Due to the existence of the pre-tightening force, the joint can better bear the welding current. The whole gas channel of the welding torch and the conduction of the welding current are as described above.

[0030] When welding, the welding protective gas is introduced from the gas joint 201 on the central plug at the tail end of the welding torch, and continuously flows in the channel, and can fully contact with the copper strand, the protective gas reaches the neck end of the torch from the gas cooled cable, and flows out from the nozzle. The flowing welding protective gas serves as a cooling medium and takes away part of the heat on the copper strand.
