Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a self-protective gas preheating device for robotic welding. Background Technology
[0002] In robotic welding operations, the drive motor of the front-end wire drawing mechanism needs to frequently reverse direction to precisely control the wire feed. Existing technology has the following drawbacks:
[0003] ①. Prolonged high-load operation of motors leads to heat buildup. Traditional air cooling or natural heat dissipation methods are inefficient and can easily cause motor failure.
[0004] ②. The shielding gas (such as CO2) used in the welding process is usually used directly without preheating, which affects the stability of the weld pool;
[0005] ③. Independent cooling systems, such as compressors, increase equipment size and energy consumption due to gas loss, which does not meet the requirements of lightweight and integrated industrial robots. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-protective gas preheating device for robotic welding that heats the protective gas while simultaneously cooling the push-pull wire motor.
[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is:
[0008] A self-protective gas preheating device for robotic welding includes a self-protective gas delivery pipe and a push-pull wire motor. The push-pull wire motor comprises a motor, an external motor sealing cover, and a spiral air guide groove between the motor sealing cover and the motor. An air inlet is located at the rear of the motor sealing cover, and an air outlet is located at the front of the motor sealing cover. The self-protective gas delivery pipe is divided into two sections, including an air inlet pipe connected to the air inlet and an air outlet pipe connected to the air outlet. The air inlet and outlet communicate with the spiral air guide groove. The motor sealing cover includes a housing and an end cap located at the end of the housing. The end cap is made of aluminum, and the housing has a double-layer hollow structure.
[0009] Heat-conducting grooves are provided on the motor casing.
[0010] This invention achieves efficient heat dissipation by circulating protective gas to remove heat from the motor; it also utilizes the residual heat of the motor to preheat the protective gas, improving welding quality; and it simplifies the equipment structure, reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs.
[0011] This invention features efficient heat dissipation: the protective gas flow rate is controllable, improving heat dissipation efficiency and reducing motor temperature rise; energy saving and efficiency improvement: waste heat is used to preheat the gas, reducing the energy consumption of the gas heater; structural optimization: the independent cooling fan is eliminated, reducing the size and weight of the equipment; improved welding quality: the preheated protective gas reduces weld porosity and improves the uniformity of weld penetration.

The end cap is made of aluminum body 7, and the housing adopts a double-layer hollow structure. The end cap is fixed to the housing by screws 8.
[0016] Workflow:
[0017] The protective gas enters the spiral guide gas groove inside the motor sealing cover through the air inlet pipe to absorb the heat of the motor; the heated gas is directed to the front end of the welding nozzle of the welding gun through the air outlet pipe to preheat the welding area; the aluminum bracket further assists in heat dissipation through conduction, forming a three-dimensional heat dissipation network.
