Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding equipment technology, and in particular to a cleaning mechanism and welding device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of industrial welding, the welding head is a critical component, and its surface is prone to accumulating impurities such as rosin, welding slag, and metal oxides. Residual impurities on the welding head during the welding process can lead to problems such as incomplete welds or short circuits. If these residues are not removed in time, they will directly affect welding accuracy, yield rate, and equipment lifespan.

[0003] Currently, traditional welding head cleaning techniques mainly rely on manual wiping and simple mechanical scraping. Manual wiping typically uses a sponge or cloth soaked in solvent to manually clean the welding head surface. While simple to operate, the cleaning effect is greatly affected by the operator's skill and experience, and the cleaning process is relatively time-consuming. Mechanical scraping uses tools such as blades to scrape away impurities from the welding head surface, which is more efficient than manual wiping, but the cleaning precision is limited. However, due to the limitations of their inherent principles and operating methods, these traditional cleaning techniques have gradually revealed problems such as low cleaning efficiency, poor equipment compatibility, inconvenient impurity collection, and low automation.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a cleaning mechanism specifically designed for industrial welding heads to clean the welding heads and collect the impurities scraped off, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the welding process. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning mechanism and welding device to clean the welding head, collect the scraped impurities, improve cleaning efficiency and equipment compatibility, ensure the effect of impurity collection, and enhance the degree of automation.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A cleaning mechanism includes a housing, a cleaning brush, and a dust collection drawer. The housing has a accommodating cavity with an opening at its top, through which the accommodating cavity communicates with the external environment. The cleaning brush is disposed within the accommodating cavity and partially extends out of the opening. The cleaning brush includes a brush base and several bristles. The brush base is cylindrical and rotatably connected to the housing. All the bristles are disposed on the sidewall of the brush base, and the axis of the brush base is parallel to a horizontal plane. The dust collection drawer is detachably connected to the bottom of the housing and is used to collect impurities within the accommodating cavity.

[0008] As an optional technical solution for the cleaning mechanism, the cleaning mechanism further includes a drive shaft, which is rotatably connected to the housing and at least partially located within the accommodating cavity, and the brush holder is coaxially sleeved on the drive shaft.

[0009] As an optional technical solution for the cleaning mechanism, the cleaning mechanism further includes a first driving member disposed on the housing, the output end of the first driving member being coaxially fixed to the driving shaft for driving the cleaning brush to rotate.

[0010] As an optional technical solution for the cleaning mechanism, the side of the housing is provided with an opening, through which the dust collection drawer can pass and extend into the receiving cavity.

[0011] As an optional technical solution for cleaning organizations, the bristles are made of copper wire.

[0012] As an optional technical solution for cleaning systems, the diameter of the brush bristles is 30 mm to 50 mm.

[0013] As an optional technical solution for the cleaning mechanism, the edge of the opening is provided with at least one guide plate, which extends toward the center of the opening and gradually slopes downward.

[0014] As an optional technical solution for the cleaning mechanism, the housing includes a main body and a top cover. The top of the main body has an accommodating groove, the top cover is fastened to the main body, the inner wall of the main body and the top cover form the accommodating cavity, and the opening extends through the top cover.

[0015] The welding apparatus includes a frame, a welding head, and the aforementioned cleaning mechanism. The welding head is movable between a working position and a cleaning position. The cleaning brush is capable of scraping the welding head located in the cleaning position. The welding head located in the working position is used for welding products.

[0016] As an optional technical solution for the welding device, the welding device further includes a mounting frame, which is movably connected to the frame, and the welding head is located at the end of the mounting frame.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] The cleaning mechanism's housing provides a space for the cleaning brushes, with a top opening connecting the housing to the outside, facilitating contact between the brushes and the object being cleaned. This provides a spatial basis for cleaning, allowing impurities to fall into the housing during the cleaning process. The cleaning brush extends beyond the opening and can rotate around its axis, effectively scraping the object. The axis, parallel to the horizontal plane, is well-suited for practical applications, allowing scraped impurities to fall naturally. This enables the brush to flexibly clean external surfaces, significantly improving cleaning efficiency. A detachable dust collection tray is attached to the bottom of the housing, conveniently collecting impurities from the housing and facilitating subsequent cleaning, ensuring the cleaning mechanism's continuous and effective operation. This optimized design facilitates automated control and intelligent improvement of the cleaning mechanism.

[0019] This welding device combines a cleaning mechanism with the welding head. The welding head can move between the working position and the cleaning position. The cleaning brush can scrape the welding head in the cleaning position, which can remove impurities from the surface of the welding head in time, ensure the cleanliness of the welding head, improve the welding quality of the welding head and the stability of the welding device, extend the service life of the welding head, and ensure heat transfer at the welding head.

[0031] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides a cleaning mechanism 100, including a housing 130, a cleaning brush 110, and a dust collection tray 120. The housing 130 has a receiving cavity, and an opening is provided at the top of the housing 130, through which the receiving cavity communicates with the external environment. The cleaning brush 110 is disposed in the receiving cavity and partially extends out of the opening. The cleaning brush 110 includes a brush base and a number of bristles. The brush base is cylindrical and rotatably connected to the housing 130. All the bristles are disposed on the side wall of the brush base, and the axis of the brush base is parallel to the horizontal plane. The dust collection tray 120 is detachably connected to the bottom of the housing 130 and is used to collect impurities in the receiving cavity.

[0033] The housing 130 of the cleaning mechanism 100 provides a cavity for the cleaning brush 110. The top opening connects the cavity to the outside, facilitating contact between the brush 110 and the object to be cleaned, providing a spatial basis for cleaning and allowing impurities to fall into the cavity during cleaning. The cleaning brush 110 extends beyond the opening and can rotate around its axis, effectively scraping the object. The axis, parallel to the horizontal plane, is more suitable for practical applications, allowing scraped impurities to fall naturally. This enables the brush 110 to flexibly clean external surfaces, effectively improving cleaning efficiency. A dust collection tray 120 is detachably connected to the bottom of the housing 130, conveniently collecting impurities from the cavity and facilitating subsequent cleaning, ensuring the continuous and effective operation of the cleaning mechanism 100. This optimized design of the cleaning mechanism 100 facilitates automated control and intelligent improvement.

[0034] In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 100 further includes a drive shaft 150, which is rotatably connected to the housing 130 and at least partially located within the accommodating cavity, and the brush holder is coaxially sleeved on the drive shaft 150.

[0035] The drive shaft 150 is positioned to ensure that it can stably drive the cleaning brush 110 to rotate when it rotates, thus improving the stability and reliability of the cleaning brush 110 and improving the cleaning effect. The drive shaft 150 is partially located in the receiving cavity, which optimizes the structural layout of the cleaning mechanism 100 and reduces the space occupied by the cleaning mechanism 100.

[0036] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism 100 also includes a first drive member 140 disposed on the housing 130. The output end of the first drive member 140 is coaxially fixed to the drive shaft 150 for driving the cleaning brush 110 to rotate. Specifically, the first drive member 140 is a motor.

[0037] The output end of the first drive unit 140 is coaxially fixed to the drive shaft 150, which can provide power for the rotation of the cleaning brush 110, realize automated cleaning operation, improve cleaning efficiency, and the coaxial fixed connection ensures the high efficiency and stability of power transmission.

[0038] In this embodiment, a clearance opening is provided on the side of the housing 130, through which the dust collection drawer 120 can pass and extend into the receiving cavity.

[0039] This design facilitates the installation and removal of the dust collection drawer 120, makes it easy to clean impurities inside the dust collection drawer 120, and improves the ease of use.

[0040] For example, the bristles are made of copper wire.

[0041] Copper wire has a certain degree of wear resistance and moderate hardness, allowing the bristles to make rigid contact with the surface of the object to be cleaned, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect and effectively scraping away impurities on the surface of the object to be cleaned, while also being less likely to damage the object. Moreover, copper wire is not prone to rust, ensuring the service life and cleaning effect of the cleaning brush 110.

[0042] Furthermore, the diameter of the bristles is 30 mm to 50 mm.

[0043] Within this range of bristle diameter, the cleaning power is guaranteed while reducing the risk of damaging the surface of the object to be cleaned due to excessively coarse or stiff bristles, thus affecting the precision of the cleaning. It also reduces the possibility of poor cleaning results due to excessively fine bristles, ensuring sufficient strength for cleaning work. This, in turn, ensures that the bristles have appropriate rigidity and cleaning effect, allowing them to play a better role in different cleaning scenarios.

[0044] In this embodiment, at least one guide plate is provided at the edge of the opening, and the guide plate extends toward the center of the opening and gradually slopes downward.

[0045] A guide plate is provided at the edge of the opening. The guide plate extends toward the center of the opening and gradually slopes downward. During the cleaning process, the guide plate can guide impurities to fall smoothly into the receiving cavity, improving the efficiency of impurity collection and reducing the overflow of impurities.

[0046] For example, the housing 130 includes a main body 132 and a top cover 131. The top of the main body 132 is provided with a receiving groove, and the top cover 131 is fastened to the main body 132. The inner wall of the main body 132 and the top cover 131 form a receiving cavity, and the opening passes through the top cover 131.

[0047] The housing 130 adopts a combination structure of the main body 132 and the top cover 131. The top of the main body 132 has an accommodating groove, and the top cover 131 is fastened to the main body 132 to form an accommodating cavity, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the cleaning mechanism 100 and makes it easy to maintain and repair the components in the accommodating cavity. The design of the opening through the top cover 131 facilitates the contact between the cleaning brush 110 and the outside, reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the housing 130, and reduces the production cost.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment also provides a welding apparatus, including a frame 400, a welding head 200 and the aforementioned cleaning mechanism 100. The welding head 200 is movable between a working position and a cleaning position. The cleaning brush 110 can scrape the welding head 200 located in the cleaning position. The welding head 200 located in the working position is used for welding products.

[0049] The welding device combines the cleaning mechanism 100 with the welding head 200. During operation, the cleaning brush 110 can promptly remove impurities from the surface of the welding head 200, ensuring the cleanliness of the welding head 200, improving the welding quality of the welding head 200 and the stability of the welding device, extending the service life of the welding head 200, and ensuring heat transfer at the welding head 200.

[0050] In this embodiment, the welding device further includes a mounting bracket 300, which is movably connected to the frame 400, and the welding head 200 is located at the end of the mounting bracket 300.

[0051] The aforementioned limitations allow for flexible adjustment of the welding head 200's position, adapting to different welding work requirements and enabling welding operations on products in different locations. This improves the applicability and flexibility of the welding device.

[0052] In this embodiment, the frame 400 is further provided with a second driving member 500, which is used to drive the mounting bracket 300 to move relative to the frame 400. Specifically, the second driving member 500 is a motor.

[0053] For example, the welding head 200 can move relative to the frame 400 in three-dimensional space. After the welding head 200 completes welding in the working position, it can be driven to the cleaning position for cleaning.

[0054] In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 100, welding head 200, mounting bracket 300, frame 400, and second drive component 500 form a processing module, and the welding device includes at least one processing module. Specifically, there are three processing modules.

[0055] In this embodiment, the welding head 200 is limited to welding busbars and junction boxes. In the manufacturing process of photovoltaic solar cells, the current collected by the cell strings of the photovoltaic module is output to the outside through busbars. The breaks between the busbars are connected by junction boxes. When connecting the busbars to the junction boxes, the busbars need to be welded to the pads provided on the junction boxes. In other embodiments of this invention, the welding head 200 is used to weld other equipment. The application and working principle of the welding head 200 are common knowledge within this invention and are well known to those skilled in the art. This is not the focus of this invention and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0056] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
