AI Technical Summary
Existing electrode cap changing devices are not convenient to move and adjust in height, and can only change caps for electrodes of specific height and arrangement, making them impractical.
The device uses a combination of a servo motor-driven screw and a lifting column, along with self-locking casters and an angle adjustment mechanism, to achieve movement and height adjustment. The electrode cap can be switched between horizontal and vertical positions via a flip frame.
The device enables convenient movement and height adjustment of the electrode cap changing device, adapting to electrode rods of different heights and arrangements, thus improving the success rate and flexibility of cap changing.

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Electrode cap is a kind of welding electrode for resistance welding equipment, mainly used in fixed spot welder, suspension spot welder and robot spot welder and other equipment.Electrode cap service life is not immutable, but is influenced by multiple factors, under ideal conditions, the life of electrode cap is usually about 6 months, so electrode needs to be regularly capped.
[0003] Through retrieval, the utility model patent with disclosure number CN216780637U discloses a cap changing all-in-one machine, which comprises a base body and a clamping part mounted on the base body. The clamping part includes a base and clamping jaws rotatably mounted on the base. The number of clamping jaws is multiple, and the multiple clamping jaws are arranged in a ring shape. The clamping jaws include a clamping surface for clamping workpieces. The clamping surface is provided with serrations. The serrations include stripe lines away from the clamping surface. The stripe lines are inclinedly arranged. By arranging serrations on the clamping surface, greater biting force can be provided than a flat surface structure, thereby increasing the friction force. The inclined stripe lines can increase the contact area, thereby increasing the friction force. On the other hand, the inclined stripe lines can also generate a radial force and a force opposite to the movement direction of the welding gun, further ensuring that the clamping jaws tightly clamp the electrode cap. The cap changing all-in-one machine has the advantages of stable clamping of the electrode cap by the clamping jaws, improved success rate of cap changing, and reduced labor and material costs.
