Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building installation, and more specifically to the field of welding material management. Background Technology

[0002] Welding material management is a critical step in large-scale construction projects, such as the construction and installation of nuclear power plants, where the number of welds involved in pipeline installation is enormous. For example, in the first overseas Hualong One reactor, the K2 nuclear island installation project used approximately 150 tons of welding rods, with an average daily issuance of about 0.3 tons.

[0003] The conventional method for distributing and collecting welding materials relies on welding material dryers counting each welding rod individually based on the welders' needs. Typically, there are two shifts per day for distributing welding materials, serving approximately 1000 welders. Before each day's construction, a large number of welders need to collect their materials, and counting and distributing them individually is time-consuming and labor-intensive, consuming a significant amount of the dryers' time and energy, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, collecting materials before welders arrive on the island wastes their valuable working time, impacting construction progress. Distributing and collecting welding materials also presents an extremely challenging task for the dryers. Their workload is heavy, requiring them to be efficient, accurate, and to avoid disrupting project construction while saving project expenses. Summary of the Invention

[0004] One object of the present invention is to provide a welding electrode rapid dispensing device that can easily and quickly dispense welding electrodes while ensuring heat dissipation of the welding electrodes.

[0005] To achieve the above objective, a rapid electrode dispensing device includes a U-shaped support plate, a support portion, and a perforated window. The support portion is located between the U-shaped support plates to form a support storage surface. The edge of the support storage surface is blocked by the U-shaped support plates and is inclined, thereby allowing the electrode placed on the support storage surface to slide and arrange automatically. The perforated window is provided on the support storage surface.

[0006] In one or more embodiments, the support storage surface also includes a marking for the number of welding rods.

[0007] In one or more embodiments, the shape or color of the welding rod quantity markings on the side of each of the support rods are different, or the numerical identifiers are different.

[0008] In one or more embodiments, the perforated window is a square hollow cavity.

[0009] In one or more embodiments, the support portion is a flat plate structure with its edges welded to the U-shaped support plate.

[0010] In one or more embodiments, the support includes multiple support rods that together form the support storage surface. The U-shaped support plate is provided with multiple insertion holes, and the ends of the support rods cooperate with the insertion holes to adjust the spacing and tilt.

[0011] In one or more embodiments, the tilt angle of the supporting storage surface ranges from 5° to 15°.

[0012] In one or more embodiments, the U-shaped support plate and / or the support portion is a steel plate.

[0013] The aforementioned rapid electrode dispensing device utilizes on-site construction surplus materials for support, featuring a simple structure and easy manufacturing. By setting up storage surfaces with varying heights, the electrodes automatically slide from the higher side to the lower side due to their own gravity. The welding material drying operator only needs to continuously add electrodes to one side of the device to quickly sort and count the electrodes. Furthermore, considering the issue of poor heat dissipation when electrodes are placed in a concentrated manner, perforated windows are provided on the supporting storage surface to facilitate heat dissipation and make it easier for workers to retrieve electrodes and load them into the electrode bucket.

[0028] 21 Support rods Detailed Implementation

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. More details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can obviously be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions and derivations based on actual application situations without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should not be limited by the content of this specific embodiment.

[0030] It should be noted that these and other accompanying drawings are merely examples and are not drawn to scale, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] In order to improve the work efficiency of welding material drying personnel and welders in nuclear island installation projects, reduce the labor intensity of welding material drying personnel, incorporate the concept of low carbon and environmental protection, and timely and accurately distribute and collect welding rods, effectively track the direction and status of welding rods, and save project expenses, this utility model proposes a welding rod rapid dispensing device.

[0032] Combination Figures 1 to 3 The electrode rapid-dispensing device includes a U-shaped support plate 10, a support portion 20, and a perforated window 30. The support portion 20 is located between the U-shaped support plates and forms a support storage surface 15, the edges of which are blocked by the U-shaped support plate 10. The support storage surface 15 is inclined, thereby allowing the electrode 5 placed on the support storage surface to slide and align automatically.

[0033] That is, the two ends of the support storage surface 15 form a height difference, so that the welding rod 30 continuously placed at one end can automatically slide to the other end on the inclined storage surface 15 by its own gravity.

[0034] Specifically, in the design, the right side of the simple welding rod quick-dispensing device is slightly higher than the left side, forming a certain height difference between the two sides. When a certain number of welding rods are taken out and put into the welding rod bucket, the welding rods on the right side automatically slide to one side due to their own gravity. The welding material drying operator only needs to continuously put welding rods into the other side of the device to quickly dispense the welding rods.

[0035] Since welding electrodes on the market are all coated with flux using automated machinery, the diameter of each electrode specification is consistent. Therefore, the width of the same number of electrodes laid flat is also consistent. Based on this principle, the electrode dispensing device can automatically dispense welding electrodes through the inclined support storage surface 15 and its own gravity.

[0036] In some embodiments, the support rod 20 also includes a welding rod quantity mark 16 on its side, which allows for rapid counting and dispensing of welding rods. Since the welding rod specifications are fixed, the total length of the welding rods laid on the support storage surface 15 can be used to determine the number of welding rods; for example, the spacing between two adjacent marks indicates 50 welding rods. Corresponding welding rod quantity scale values ​​are printed according to the diameter of different welding rods, making it easy to visually detect when the corresponding number of welding rods has been reached. The shape or color of the welding rod quantity mark, or the numerical identification, may differ to make the device compatible with welding rods of different specifications.

[0037] In some embodiments, the tilt angle of the supporting storage surface 15 ranges from, but is not limited to, 5° to 15°. Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the tilt angle of the support storage surface 15 is 8°.

[0038] Continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, the main structure of the rapid electrode generator is similar to a trapezoid. The structure is mainly welded from 2mm steel plates. The U-shaped support plate is formed by the left steel plate support 101, the right steel plate support 102, and the back steel plate support 103. The support part is formed by the inclined bottom plate 104.

[0039] Since the welding rods are taken out of the drying chamber and placed on the rapid welding rod firing device, the welding rods themselves are at a high temperature. If a large number of welding rods are concentrated together, it is difficult to dissipate heat, and the high temperature of the welding rods is not conducive to the handling of workers. Therefore, the support storage surface 20 is provided with perforated windows 30, which allow the welding rods to be partially exposed to air, thereby achieving a certain degree of heat dissipation.

[0040] Furthermore, since the side of the electrode dispenser with the electrode quantity markings is close to the person retrieving the electrodes, and the other side is close to the person taking the electrodes, it is difficult to retrieve the electrodes if they are both located on the support storage surface. The perforated window 30 also provides space for the staff to retrieve the electrodes; when retrieving a certain number of electrodes, they can first partially extend their arms into the perforated window to facilitate retrieval and application of force.

[0041] In some embodiments, the perforated window 30 is as follows: Figure 1 The square hollow cavity is shown. Those skilled in the art will understand that the shape of the perforated window 30 includes, but is not limited to, the above-described structure. It can also be a circular or square hollow cavity, a continuous single hollow cavity, or multiple discontinuous hollow cavities.

[0042] In some embodiments, by Figure 1The flat plate structure shown forms a support section and a support storage surface 15, with its edges welded to a U-shaped support plate. Tungsten inert gas welding (TIG) can be used for this welding, making the overall device easier to manufacture. In other embodiments, the support section 20 includes multiple support rods 21, which together form the support storage surface 15. The U-shaped support plate may have multiple insertion holes of different heights and spacings, with the ends of each support rod engaging with the insertion holes to adjust the inclination of the support storage surface 15.

[0043] Understandably, the size of the perforated window 30 can be adjusted by designing the spacing of multiple support rods 21.

[0044] During the electrode distribution process, the electrode distributor places electrode 5 at a high position on the sliding device. Then, using gravity, the electrode slides down from the high position to the bottom via the sliding mechanism. The welding materials are automatically leveled and arranged properly by gravity. Based on the required quantity, the welding materials are retrieved through the perforated window with the corresponding scale value as the dividing line.

[0045] The above-mentioned rapid electrode firing device has the following advantages:

[0046] (1) It is flexible and simple, with a simple design principle, convenient operation, and readily available materials. It can be processed from edge steel plates, which solves the problem of large workload and high frequency of welding rod distribution.

[0047] (2) The perforated window ensures heat dissipation of the welding rod and facilitates the removal of the welding rod, reducing the labor waste caused by the long preparation work before construction, and enabling the on-site welding material management to be effectively controlled and well developed.

Any variations and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention, without departing from the scope of the invention, fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
