[0026] The back-pulling air channel opening 5 and the ejection air channel opening 16 are respectively provided with a back-pulling air channel throttle valve 6 and an ejection air channel throttle valve 15, and the gas circuit system is further provided with a blowing pressure gauge 7, a shuttle valve 8 and a blowing pressure reducing valve 9.

[0027] The gas circuit system is provided with a main circuit and a branch circuit, and the back-pulling air channel opening 5, the shuttle valve 8 and the ejection air channel opening 16 are arranged in the overlapping section of the main circuit and the branch circuit, the main circuit is provided with a three-position five-way electromagnetic valve 17, and the branch circuit is provided with the blowing pressure gauge 7 and the blowing pressure reducing valve 9.

[0028] The electrode seat 13 is provided with an electrode seat steel sleeve 19, and the upper and lower sides of the electrode seat steel sleeve 19 are respectively provided with a waterway upper sealing ring 18 and a waterway lower sealing ring 27.

[0029] The electrode seat 13 is provided with a water inlet groove 20, a water inlet channel two 21, a water inlet channel one 22 and a water inlet 23 on one side, and the other side of the electrode seat 13 is symmetrically provided with a water outlet groove 25, a water outlet channel two 26, a water outlet channel one 28 and a water outlet 29.

[0030] The top of the water inlet groove 20 and the water outlet groove 25 is in communication with the water cooling ring 24, and the water inlet 23 and the water outlet 29 are provided with internal threads matched with water pipes. In order to ensure the normal operation of the cooling water in the water groove and the water cooling ring 24, the electrode seat 13 is sleeved with the electrode seat steel sleeve 19, and the upper and lower ends are respectively provided with the waterway upper sealing ring 18 and the waterway lower sealing ring 27 to ensure sealing and prevent water leakage.

[0031] In this embodiment, the back-pulling air channel 4 and the back-pulling air channel opening 5 in the electrode seat 13 are connected, and the ejection air channel 14 and the ejection air channel opening 16 are connected. When the air pressure of the back-pulling air channel opening 5 is greater than that of the ejection air channel opening 16, the pressure of the upper cavity of the piston 10 is greater than that of the lower cavity, and the piston 10 moves downward with the gas dynamic positioning pin 1; when the air pressure of the ejection air channel opening 16 is greater than that of the back-pulling air channel opening 5, the pressure of the lower cavity of the piston 10 is greater than that of the upper cavity, and the piston 10 moves upward with the gas dynamic positioning pin 1.

[0033] Further, by the setting of the blow pressure gauge 7, shuttle valve 8 and blow pressure reducing valve 9, when the ejector pin 1 is ejected, a branch of the gas flow to the ejector port 16 is divided, the gas flow is reduced by the blow pressure reducing valve 9, the pressure is displayed by the blow pressure gauge 7, and the shuttle valve 8 controls a small gas pressure to flow into the upper cavity of the piston 10 through the back suction port 5 and back suction channel 4. During the welding process, the upper electrode will have a small stroke of pressing down on the ejector pin 1, at this time, the gas in the upper cavity of the piston 10 can flow out through the gap between the ejector pin 1 and the electrode cap 2, and this gas can blow away the metal spatter and metal extrusion generated during welding, thereby avoiding the problem of thread passability caused by the adhesion of the metal spatter and metal extrusion on the threads of the projection nut.

[0034] The three-position five-way electromagnetic valve 17 is a control device cooperating with the entire gas circuit system and external equipment, and is connected as shown in the figure. The three-position five-way electromagnetic valve 17 is provided with five channels, and the connection between the channels is as follows: channel one is connected to the air inlet; channel three and channel five are connected to the exhaust port and connected to the muffler; channel two is connected to the ejector port 16, and a branch is divided to the blow pressure reducing valve 9 for blowing during welding; and channel four is connected to the back suction port 5.

[0035] When the three-position five-way electromagnetic valve 17 is not powered, it is in the middle position, the air source does not enter, and the two gas channels are connected to the exhaust port, and the mechanism is in a natural state.

[0036] When the left electromagnetic valve of the three-position five-way electromagnetic valve 17 is powered, channel four and channel one are connected to the air inlet, channel two and channel three are connected to the exhaust port and the muffler, at this time, the shuttle valve 8 is connected to the left side, the air pressure passes through the shuttle valve 8 and the back suction channel throttle 6, enters the upper cavity of the piston 10 through the back suction port 5 and the back suction channel 4, and at the same time, the lower cavity of the piston 10 flows through the ejector channel throttle 15 to the exhaust port connected to the muffler, at this time, the ejector pin 1 moves downward with the piston 10.

[0037] When the right electromagnetic valve of the three-position five-way electromagnetic valve 17 is powered, channel two and channel one are connected to the air inlet, channel four and channel five are connected to the exhaust port and the muffler, at this time, one way of the air source passes through the ejector channel throttle 15, enters the lower cavity of the piston 10 through the ejector port 16 and the ejector channel 14, and the other way passes through the blow pressure reducing valve 9, flows through the blow pressure gauge 7, the shuttle valve 8, the back suction port 5, the back suction channel 4, and enters the upper cavity of the piston 10, at this time, the ejector pin 1 moves upward with the piston 10, and has the function of blowing.

[0038] Further, the waterway system comprises the water inlet 23 and the water outlet 29, water flows into the water inlet 23, sequentially flows through the water inlet channel one 22, the water inlet channel two 21, the water inlet tank 20, the water cooling ring 24, the water outlet tank 25, the water outlet channel two 26, the water outlet channel one 28 and then flows out of the water outlet 29, thereby forming a loop.

[0039] Further, the lower end of the cylindrical electrode cap 2 is externally threaded, and is screwed onto the electrode holder 13, so that the lower end surface of the boss is in full contact with the upper end surface of the electrode holder 13, thereby conducting the large current from the electrode holder 13 to the workpiece above, so that the workpiece is welded into shape. The electrode cap 2 directly contacts the workpiece and participates in welding, although the waterway system cools the electrode, but under the action of long-term large current and large pressure, the end surface of the electrode cap 2 is prone to deformation and wear, which affects the appearance and welding quality of the workpiece. The traditional electrode cap needs to be manually replaced regularly due to the positioning pin cannot be retracted, while the new pneumatic positioning pin 1 can be retracted by controlling the gas circuit system, so that the end surface of the electrode cap 2 can be automatically ground by the automatic grinding equipment, which is beneficial to the automation of the equipment and improves the production efficiency.

[0040] In the utility model, the waterway system can cool the device, the gas circuit system can control the ejection and retraction of the pneumatic positioning pin 1, which can not only avoid the problem that the positioning pin is stuck in the workpiece after welding, but also solve the problem of automatic grinding of the electrode with the positioning pin, and the threaded hole can be blown during welding, thereby solving the problem of bolt passability caused by the adhesion of welding spatter and protruding material on the thread.

[0041] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this, any skilled person in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the utility model within the technical range disclosed by the utility model, which should be covered in the protection scope of the utility model.
