[0026] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0027] like Figure 1-12 As shown, a welding torch grip modification structure is provided for connection with a welding torch 9, making it easier for operators to hold the welding torch 9 for welding operations. This changes the way the welding torch 9 is held, allowing operators to control it for extended periods, reducing the labor intensity of welders, and improving weld quality. The grip modification structure includes a left half-grip shell 1 and a right half-grip shell 2. The left half-grip shell 1 includes a first support portion 11 and a first hand-holding portion 12 arranged vertically. The right half-grip shell 2 has a second support portion 21 and a second hand-holding portion 22 that cooperate with the left half-grip shell 1. The left half-grip shell 1 and the right half-grip shell 2 combine to form a complete grip modification structure. The first support portion 11 and the second support portion 21 form a hollow structure for supporting, supporting, and fixing the welding torch 9. The first hand-holding portion 12 and the second hand-holding portion 22 form a cylindrical structure for easy gripping by the operator. The first hand grip 12 is inclined relative to the first support portion 11, and the second hand grip 22 is inclined relative to the second support portion 21, which facilitates the operator's grip and conforms to the ergonomic design, minimizing wrist pressure. A spring seat 3 is rotatably connected to the front side of the left half grip shell 1 and the right half grip shell 2. A compression spring 8 is connected to the rear side of the spring seat 3 for elastic support, providing a certain amount of room for movement and a cushioning effect, adapting to different operators' hands, reducing hand fatigue, lowering the intensity of hand work, and improving the grip feel. A locking ring 4 is fitted at the lower end of the left half grip shell 1 and the right half grip shell 2 for locking the connection between the lower ends of the left half grip shell 1 and the right half grip shell 2. The left half grip shell 1 and the right half grip shell 2 are internally connected by several clips 5 for connecting the left half grip shell 1 and the right half grip shell 2; a welding torch wrench 6 is inserted into the lower end of the left half grip shell 1 and the right half grip shell 2 as an extension tool, which can be used as a hanging device for the modified grip structure or as a wrench.
[0028] In this application, the upper end of the first support part 11 is provided with a connecting hole 111 with a rectangular structure arranged at the front and back, and the second support part 21 is provided with a connecting boss 211. By inserting the connecting boss 211 into the connecting hole 111, the upper ends of the left half grip shell 1 and the right half grip shell 2 are connected and fixed. The inner side of the second support part 21 is provided with a positioning post 212 for the installation positioning and limiting of the welding gun 9, so as to ensure that the installation position of the welding gun 9 relative to the grip modification structure is accurate and the installation is stable.
[0029] In this application, the locking ring 4 has two symmetrically arranged locking protrusions 41 inside. The lower end of the first hand grip 12 has a first locking groove 128, and the lower end of the second hand grip 22 has a second locking groove 227. The first locking groove 128 and the second locking groove 227 are respectively used to lock the two locking protrusions 41, which can prevent the locking ring 4 from falling off and ensure that the locking ring 4 locks the lower ends of the left half grip shell 1 and the right half grip shell 2. The first locking groove 128 and the second locking groove 227 are both open at the lower end, which makes it easy for the locking ring 4 to be inserted into the lower ends of the left half grip shell 1 and the right half grip shell 2. The first locking groove 128 and the second locking groove 227 are both provided with limiting protrusions inside, which are used to limit the rotation of the locking ring 4 and prevent the locking ring 4 from rotating off. The grip modification structure can be quickly assembled by engaging and locking the connecting hole 111, connecting boss 211, locking boss 41, first locking groove 128 and second locking groove 227.
[0030] In this application, a first spring seat groove 121 is provided above the front end of the first hand-held part 12. The first spring seat groove 121 is used for the installation of the spring seat 3, and the spring seat 3 is rotated and installed through the first shaft hole 125 provided in the first spring seat groove 121. The first hand-held part 12 is provided with a first mounting rib groove 122 for the insertion of the welding torch wrench 6. This not only improves the internal support force and overall structural strength of the first hand-held part 12, but also serves as a mounting slot for the welding torch wrench 6, facilitating its insertion. Several first limiting holes 123 are provided along the edge of the upper end of the first mounting rib groove 122 for the installation of the buckle 5. A first spring support block 124 is provided on the side of one of the several first limiting holes 123 near the first spring seat groove 121, which is used to limit the end of the spring 8 away from the spring seat 3, ensuring the stability of the spring 8 installation.
[0031] Based on the above scheme, a second spring seat groove 221 is provided above the front end of the second hand grip 22, which cooperates with the first spring seat groove 121 to form the installation space of the spring seat 3. A second shaft hole 225 is provided in the second spring seat groove 221, that is, by inserting the fixing shaft 32 on the left side of the spring seat 3 into the first shaft hole 125 and the fixing shaft 32 on the right side of the spring seat 3 into the second shaft hole 225, the spring seat 3 can be rotated and installed. A second mounting rib groove 222 is provided in the second hand grip 22. The first mounting rib groove 122 and the second mounting rib groove 222 cooperate to form the mounting cavity of the welding torch wrench 6, which facilitates the installation of the welding torch wrench 6; at the same time, it can also improve the structural strength of the second hand grip 22 of the right half grip shell 2. The upper edge of the second mounting groove 222 is provided with several second limiting holes 223 for installing the other end of the buckle 5. By inserting one end of the buckle 5 into the first limiting hole 123 and the other end of the buckle 5 into the second limiting hole 223, the upper ends of the first hand grip 12 and the second hand grip 22 are connected. This displacement is within the middle of the entire grip modification structure, which not only supports the internal space of the grip modification structure but also strengthens its structural strength. A second spring support block 224 is provided on the side of one of the second limiting holes 223 near the second spring seat groove 221. This block is used to limit the spring 8 at the end furthest from the spring seat 3, ensuring the stability of the spring 8 installation.
[0032] Based on the above scheme, the first mounting groove 122 is provided with a plurality of insertion holes 126 for the installation of the elastic support 7. The elastic support 7 is used to position and fix the welding torch wrench 6, preventing the welding torch wrench 6 from falling off. The lower end of the first spring seat groove 121 is provided with a first limiting groove 127, and the lower end of the second spring seat groove 221 is provided with a second limiting groove 226. The lower end of the spring seat 3 is limited by the first limiting groove 127 and the second limiting groove 226, preventing the lower end of the spring seat 3 from separating from the left half grip shell 1 and the right half grip shell 2 under the action of the compression spring 8.
[0033] Based on the above scheme, an elastic support 7 is inserted into each socket 126, and multiple elastic support 7s are used to achieve multi-part pressure positioning of the welding torch wrench 6. The elastic support 7 includes a slotted column 71, and a hemisphere 72 is installed at one end of the slotted column 71. The end of the hemisphere 72 near the slotted column 71 is connected to a support spring installed inside the slotted column 71. The slot at the bottom of the slotted column 71 facilitates the insertion of the slotted column 71 into the socket 126. The support spring provides elastic support for the hemisphere 72, ensuring that the hemisphere 72 can move left and right relative to the slotted column 71, making it easy for the welding torch wrench 6 to be inserted into or pulled out of the modified grip structure.
[0034] In this application, the spring seat 3 has a 7-shaped structure, with a wave-shaped pressing surface 31 on its front side. This increases the friction of the pressing surface 31, preventing slippage due to sweaty hands, and also accommodates the grip of the operator's hand. A fixed shaft 32 is provided on both the left and right sides of the spring seat 3, for insertion into the first shaft hole 125 and the second shaft hole 225, enabling rotatable connection between the spring seat 3 and the left half-grip housing 1 and the right half-grip housing 2. A spring connecting shaft 33 is provided on the rear side of the spring seat 3 for connecting the spring seat 3 to the compression spring 8, thereby fixing the end of the compression spring 8.
[0035] In the solution of this application, the buckle 5 includes a sub-buckle 51 and a female buckle 52. The sub-buckle 51 is inserted into one of the first limiting hole 123 or the second limiting hole 223, and the female buckle 52 is inserted into the other of the first limiting hole 123 or the second limiting hole 223. When the sub-buckle 51 and the female buckle 52 are engaged, the middle parts of the left half grip shell 1 and the right half grip shell 2 can be connected together. The end of the sub-clamp 51 near the end of the female clamp 52 is provided with a clamp connecting post 511, and the end of the clamp connecting post 511 away from the female clamp 52 is provided with an annular groove 512. The female clamp 52 is provided with a clamp connecting hole 521, which is a stepped structure. When the sub-clamp 51 and the female clamp 52 are connected, the clamp connecting post 511 is inserted into the large diameter part of the large clamp connecting hole 521, and the annular groove 512 is locked by the small diameter part of the clamp connecting hole 521. This can prevent the clamp connecting post 511 from separating from the clamp connecting hole 521 and ensure the firmness of the connection between the sub-clamp 51 and the female clamp 52.
[0036] In this application, one end of the welding torch wrench 6 has several screw diameter holes 61 of different diameters along its length, which are used for rotating hexagonal bolts of different sizes and can also be used as hanging holes for the modified grip structure. The other end of the welding torch wrench 6 has several positioning holes 62 of different diameters along its length, which are used to cooperate with the elastic support 7 to achieve positioning and fixing of the welding torch wrench 6.
[0037] In another embodiment of this application, a plurality of first mounting through holes 13 are pre-set on the left half grip shell 1, and a plurality of second mounting through holes 23 are pre-set on the right half grip shell 2. One of the first mounting through holes 13 and the second mounting through holes 23 has an internal thread structure. The first mounting through holes 13 and the second mounting through holes 23 are optional or reinforcing structures. The left half grip shell 1 and the right half grip shell 2 are connected and fastened by screws passing through the first mounting through holes 13 and the second mounting through holes 23, thereby strengthening the connection between the two. Screws can also be used to connect when the above-mentioned snap-fit connection structure is damaged, which can improve the service life of the grip modification structure.
