Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding equipment technology, specifically to a cold welding machine for casting repair using a water-cooled welding torch. Background Technology
[0002] The welding torch of a cold welding machine for casting repair is an important piece of electromechanical equipment, mainly used for welding and repairing metal parts (in the casting industry, mold processing, machining, and manufacturing of various metal parts). During operation, the worker needs to hold the welding torch by hand. The torch rotates via a spindle, driving a rotating chuck to hold the welding rod. Overheating can occur during actual use.
[0003] The existing technology uses external water flushing to cool the heating part at the front of the welding torch. This involves running two water pipes outside the torch casing. When in use, cold water flows through the pipes to cool the torch body. This method has obvious disadvantages: First, external water flushing only cools the outer shell of the welding torch and does not cool the heat source, such as the spindle, bearings, or couplings. The inside of the welding torch still gets very hot. Second, with the water pipes outside the torch casing, it is very inconvenient for the operator to hold the welding torch and use it. The operator is also prone to bumping into the water pipes. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a water-cooled welding gun for a cold welding machine for casting repair, so as to solve the problems of poor cooling effect and inconvenience of external water pipe routing in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model provides a water-cooled welding gun for a cold welding machine for casting repair, comprising a front gun body and a rear gun body;
[0006] The front gun body is equipped with a main shaft, and the front end of the main shaft is connected to a rotating chuck for holding welding rods.
[0007] The rear gun body is equipped with a motor, which is connected to the rear end of the main shaft via a coupling;
[0008] The front gun body is provided with a water-cooled cavity distributed around the main shaft, and the rear end of the water-cooled cavity is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet; the front end of the front gun body is provided with a flange ring, which is closed at the front end of the water-cooled cavity.
[0009] The rear gun body has an inner cavity, and the rear end of the rear gun body has multiple openings that connect to the inner cavity for connecting water pipes and electrical wires; the water inlet and water outlet both extend into the inner cavity and are connected to water pipes.
[0010] In one embodiment of the present invention, the flange ring is provided with an insulating seat, which is distributed on the outside of the main shaft and does not contact the main shaft; the insulating seat is equipped with a carbon brush, and a brass sheet is frictionally fitted at the front end of the carbon brush, which is sleeved on the main shaft.
[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the front gun body is further provided with wiring holes extending axially to both ends. The wiring holes are distributed on the outside of the water-cooling cavity. The wires are connected from the rear end of the rear gun body, pass through the inner cavity and the wiring holes in sequence, and are then connected to the carbon brush.
[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the rear end of the rear gun body is provided with a spiral welding gun tail for protecting the welding gun water pipe and electrical wire routing.
[0013] In one embodiment of this utility model, the front end of the front gun body is fitted with a threaded detachable welding gun cap for protecting the rotating chuck.
[0014] In one embodiment of this utility model, a ceramic bearing is provided in the front gun body, and the main shaft is rotatably assembled in the front gun body through the ceramic bearing.
[0015] As described above, the casting repair cold welding machine of this utility model uses a water-cooled welding torch, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] This invention features a water-cooling chamber within the front body, allowing cooling water to flow through, thus enabling the welding torch to have internal self-cooling capabilities. This achieves a wide-range water-cooling effect around the main shaft, bearings, and couplings within the torch body, providing precise and continuous cooling of the heat source. This prevents component failures caused by excessively high welding torch operating temperatures, significantly improving the welding torch's heat generation problem, effectively extending its service life, and enhancing its performance. With the water-cooling chamber and inlet / outlet ports located inside the torch body, water pipes can be routed internally, eliminating the inconvenience and risk of injury to the water pipes during handling. The overall appearance of the welding torch is also aesthetically pleasing. Attached Figure Description
