[0023] Example one, refer to the attached Figures 1-2 A safety device for preventing mechanical injury of a projection welding machine during welding of nuts, comprising an upper support 12 and a lower support 13 arranged at the front of the body 11, the upper support 12 is provided with a cylinder pressurizing mechanism 14, the lower end of the piston rod 15 of the cylinder pressurizing mechanism is provided with an upper electrode seat 17, the lower support 13 is provided with a lower electrode seat 18, the middle part of the upper electrode seat 17 is vertically provided with an upper electrode head, the lower part of the upper electrode head is outwardly bent to form an L-shaped electrode head 19, and the outer end of the lower electrode seat 18 is provided with a lower electrode head 20 opposite to the L-shaped electrode head 19; the L-shaped electrode head 19 shifts the welding point from the position directly below the upper electrode seat 17 to the outer side, avoids the line of sight from being blocked when the workpiece is welded with the nut 40, improves the safety of operation, and is beneficial to accurately placing the workpiece between the upper and lower electrode heads 20 for welding, thereby improving the welding quality.

[0024] The upper electrode seat 17 is obliquely installed with a nut conveying mechanism 03 on one side through a support rod 41, the piston rod 15 of the cylinder pressurizing mechanism 14 is provided with a guide rod 16 on one side, and the lower end of the guide rod 16 and the piston rod 15 are fixedly connected with the upper electrode seat 17; the guide rod is used to assist the extension and retraction of the piston rod, avoids the phenomenon that the piston rod 15 rotates due to the torsion generated during welding of the upper electrode seat 17, ensures the positional accuracy of the upper electrode head during use, and improves the welding quality.

[0025] The upper electrode base 17 and the lower electrode base 18 are connected to the welding power source inside the machine body 11 through copper plates. The upper copper plate 21 connected to the upper electrode base 17 is made of several thin copper plates stacked together and is bent upwards to form an inverted U-shaped structure. The upper copper plate of the structure can be elastically deformed and keeps the upper electrode head and the power source in the power-on state during the up-and-down movement of the cylinder pressurizing mechanism 14. The lower copper plate 22 connected to the lower electrode base 18 is a long plate-shaped copper plate fixedly connected.

[0026] Embodiment Two, see attached Figure 1 、 3 -6, which is basically the same as Embodiment One. The same parts are not described again. The difference is that the nut conveying mechanism 03 includes a cylindrical guide rail 31 and a feeding support 34. The telescopic rod 32 is slidably connected in the cylindrical guide rail 31. The cylindrical guide rail is provided with an air pipe. The telescopic rod 32 is driven to extend or retract by a pneumatic way. The lower end of the telescopic rod is provided with a limiting step 33. The upper end of the internal slide of the feeding support 34 is provided with a feeding pipe 36. The lower end of the internal slide is provided with a square groove 35. The nut 40 enters the internal slide of the feeding support 34 from the feeding pipe 36 and slides into the square groove 35. The lower end of the telescopic rod 32 is opposite to the center of the square groove 35.

[0027] The end of the square groove 35 is provided with a baffle 37. The lower end of the baffle is hinged to the lower part of the feeding support 34. A torsional spring 39 is arranged on the hinge shaft to drive the baffle 37 to rotate upwards. The baffle is driven by the torsional spring to block the nut 40 in the square groove 35. The upper part of the baffle 37 is provided with a U-shaped notch 38 opposite to the square groove 35. The size of the U-shaped notch 38 is smaller than that of the square groove 35, and the size of the U-shaped notch 38 is larger than the diameter of the telescopic rod 32.

[0028] When the nut conveying mechanism 03 works, the nut 40 enters the internal slide of the feeding support 34 from the feeding pipe 36 and slides into the square groove 35. The baffle 37 blocks the nut 40 in the square groove 35. The telescopic rod 32 in the cylindrical guide rail 31 is driven to extend outward. The outer end of the telescopic rod 32 enters the square groove 35 and is inserted into the middle hole of the nut 40. The limiting step 33 plays a role in limiting the axial position of the nut 40. The telescopic rod 32 takes the nut 40 and pushes the baffle 37 away from the square groove 35. After the nut 40 leaves the square groove 35, the baffle 37 is reset upwards under the action of the torsional spring 39. The U-shaped notch 38 avoids interference with the telescopic rod 32. The lower end of the telescopic rod 32 stops moving after approaching the lower electrode head 20. The nut 40 slides from the telescopic rod 32 and is sleeved onto the lower electrode head 20 by its own inertia. The automatic conveying of the nut 40 is completed. It is not necessary to place the nut 40 at the welding position by hand. The phenomenon that the upper electrode head presses down and injures the fingers due to uncoordinated hands and feet does not occur.
