Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] See Figure 1This utility model provides an automatic welding torch flame-retardant protective cover with an inspection flip cover. The protective cover body 13 covers the welding torch. The welding torch fixing arm 2 extends out of the flame-retardant rubber plate 3 on one side of the protective cover body 13 through the fixing arm window 6. The welding torch moving arm 1 extends out of the flame-retardant rubber plate 3 on one side of the protective cover body 13 through the moving arm window 4. An inspection flip cover 11 is provided on the front of the protective cover body 13. The side of the inspection flip cover 11 near the flame-retardant rubber plate 3 is integrally connected to the protective cover body 13. Flame-retardant Velcro 12 is provided on the other three sides of the inspection flip cover 11. A flame-retardant nylon hook and loop fastener 8 for opening the entire protective cover body 13 is provided on the top of the protective cover body 13. A flame-retardant nylon hook and loop fastener 10 for fixing the welding torch is provided at the tail of the welding torch. A side flame-retardant elastic band 5 is provided on the protective cover body 13 between the inspection flip cover 11 and the flame-retardant rubber plate 3. A circumferential flame-retardant elastic band 9 is provided at the tail of the protective cover body 13.

[0022] The flame-retardant rubber sheet 3 has several pre-drilled screw holes 7.

[0023] Multiple inspection covers 11 can be installed on the protective cover 13.

[0024] The inspection cover 11 is located near the welding torch's pressing mechanism, wire feeding mechanism, or power interface.

[0025] The wire feeding mechanism is a drive unit, the power supply component is a transformer, and the software connection component is a U-shaped ring.

[0026] The protective cover 13 is made of flame-retardant and wear-resistant material, which includes aramid, pre-oxidized yarn, and flame-retardant rayon.

[0027] The protective cover 13 has double visible stitching at 6mm and 1mm from the edge of the inspection flap 11 to enhance the durability of the flame-retardant Velcro 12.

[0028] The opening surface of the inspection cover 11 is a transparent cover for observation.

[0029] The transparent flip cover is made of transparent flame-retardant material or is made of the same flame-retardant material as the protective cover 13.

[0030] The inside of the inspection flip cover 11 is equipped with a small light to facilitate viewing the internal condition at night or in a dimly lit working environment.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] This invention requires minimal adjustment during use:

[0033] When the welding torch is not in operation and needs inspection or maintenance, the operator can easily lift the corresponding access cover 11 by gently pulling open one side of the unsecured flame-retardant Velcro 12, thus clearly seeing the welding torch components underneath. At this time, necessary adjustments or parts replacements can be performed according to the actual situation. After completion, the access cover 11 should be closed again, ensuring that all flame-retardant Velcro 12 are tightly attached and locked. This not only preserves the original protective function but also greatly simplifies the maintenance process.

[0034] The specific operating areas and precautions are as follows:

[0035] S1: Disassembly and maintenance work can only begin after confirming that the welding torch has stopped running and the power is off.

[0036] S2: Select the inspection cover 11 of the target area, and gently pull the side of the flame-retardant Velcro 12 that is not integrally connected with the protective cover 13 to smoothly open the cover.

[0037] S3: Adjust or replace the corresponding parts according to actual needs.

[0038] S4: After completing the maintenance, carefully check whether each connector is connected correctly to ensure that nothing is missed.

[0039] S5: Reverse the operation as when you lifted the flip cover, put the inspection flip cover back in place, and press the flame-retardant Velcro 12 around the edges firmly until it is completely fixed.

[0040] S6: Recheck the status of all maintenance flip covers 11, and end the operation after confirming that they are reliably locked.

[0041] Both the access cover 11 and its flame-retardant Velcro 12 can be replaced independently. For the protective cover 13 used for a long time, if some access covers are found to be aged or damaged, new parts should be replaced in time to maintain the best protective effect.

[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, intended only to aid in understanding the method and core concept of this application. The scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments; all technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0043] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0044] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing welding torch protection measures. While these measures can prevent welding slag damage to the torch to some extent, they fall short in maintaining good protective performance while ensuring convenient maintenance and repair, and in quickly and effectively diagnosing and repairing faults in complex and changing production environments. By integrating an inspection flap, flame-retardant Velcro, and flame-retardant nylon fasteners into the protective cover, it solves the problem of overall heat protection for the welding torch, enables quick and safe inspection and replacement of critical parts, and also addresses the installation, fixation, and accident protection of the protective cover. Overall, it improves the stability and reliability of the welding torch in harsh environments, achieving an effective balance between protection and convenient maintenance, and increasing the flexibility and adaptability of the overall device.
