Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of argon arc welding technology, specifically an argon arc welding torch that reduces the amount of argon gas used. Background Technology
[0002] Welding is commonly used for fastening connections between metal workpieces. To prevent oxidation at the weld point during welding, an argon arc welding torch is typically used. The welding principle is as follows: during welding, argon gas is continuously blown out from the torch tip tube, dispersing the air at the welding position between the welding wire and the workpiece, thus forming an argon gas shield at the welding position and preventing oxidation of the workpiece during the welding process.
[0003] During argon arc welding, argon gas is simultaneously ejected from the argon nozzle of the welding torch. However, currently, the ejected argon gas is difficult to diffuse evenly to the welding point, resulting in poor protection. To maintain welding quality, operators have to increase the argon gas output, leading to low argon gas utilization efficiency, which not only increases production costs but also results in a large amount of argon gas being wasted.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides an argon arc welding torch that reduces the amount of argon gas used, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an argon arc welding torch that reduces argon gas consumption, thus solving the aforementioned problems.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an argon arc welding torch with reduced argon gas consumption, comprising a protective cylinder, wherein a flow control component is provided inside the protective cylinder; an auxiliary component is provided on the outer wall of the protective cylinder; the flow control component comprises a top cover, which is fixedly connected to the top of the protective cylinder, and a welding torch rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top cover; a double cone block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the welding torch rod, and a cone head cover is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective cylinder.
[0007] Furthermore, an auxiliary block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective cylinder, and a triangular block is fixedly connected to the top of the auxiliary block. Both the triangular block and one side of the auxiliary block are fixedly connected to a double cone block.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the auxiliary block is used to strengthen the fixation of the welding torch rod to prevent shaking during welding operations, and the triangular block is used to reduce the resistance when the argon gas flows through.
[0009] Furthermore, the top cover is internally fixedly connected with a threaded head.
[0010] The above technical solution is used for docking with other components.
[0011] Furthermore, a vertical rod is fixedly connected to the top of the top cover, and a mounting plate is fixedly connected to one end of the vertical rod. A solenoid valve is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate. The interface of the solenoid valve is connected and fixed to one interface of the four-way pipe. The remaining interfaces of the four-way pipe are connected and fixed to the threaded head through a flexible hose and a threaded connector.
[0012] The above technical solution is used to control the amount of traffic.
[0013] Furthermore, the auxiliary component includes an assembly groove, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the protective cylinder, and a screw is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the assembly groove, with an anti-slip swivel ring fixedly connected to one end of the screw.

[0015] Furthermore, a nut block is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw, the nut block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the assembly groove, and a handle is fixedly connected to one side of the nut block.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, a handle is installed to facilitate the operation of the entire device.
[0017] Beneficial effects
[0018] This invention provides an argon arc welding torch that reduces argon gas consumption. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0019] 1. This argon arc welding torch that reduces argon consumption has a solenoid valve connected to an argon storage tank via a pipeline. The argon flow is controlled by the solenoid valve, then passes through a four-way pipe and a threaded connector before entering the protective cylinder. Because the threaded connector has a uniform circumferential distribution, the argon is relatively evenly distributed throughout the protective cylinder during injection. The auxiliary block is used to strengthen the fixation of the welding torch rod to prevent shaking during welding operations, and the triangular block is used to reduce the resistance when the argon flows through. Then, due to the special shape of the cone-shaped cover and the double cone block, a conical annular flow channel is formed. When the argon passes through, it concentrates towards the center, and after contacting the welding point, it diffuses evenly to the surrounding area due to the impact, thereby improving the overall argon utilization rate and reducing the consumption.
[0020] 2. This argon arc welding torch with reduced argon gas consumption allows the screw to rotate by turning the anti-slip swivel. Because the nut block is restricted by the inner wall of the assembly groove, it will move linearly along the screw when the screw rotates, which will drive the handle to move and adjust the position of the handle. The handle makes it easier to use and operate the device. Attached Figure Description

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication between two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0029] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 5This application provides an argon arc welding torch with reduced argon gas consumption, including a protective cylinder 1. A flow control component 2 is disposed inside the protective cylinder 1. An auxiliary component 3 is disposed on the outer wall of the protective cylinder 1. The flow control component 2 includes a top cover 21, which is fixedly connected to the top of the protective cylinder 1. A welding torch rod 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top cover 21. A double cone block 23 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the welding torch rod 22. A cone head cover 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective cylinder 1. An auxiliary block 24 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective cylinder 1. A triangular block 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the auxiliary block 24. One side of both the triangular block 25 and the auxiliary block 24 is fixedly connected to the double cone block 23. A mating thread head 27 is fixedly connected inside the top cover 21. A vertical rod 28 is fixedly connected to the top of the top cover 21. A mounting plate 29 is fixedly connected to one end of the vertical rod 28. A solenoid valve 210 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate 29. The interface of the solenoid valve 210 is connected and fixed to one interface of the four-way pipe. The remaining interfaces of the four-way pipe are connected and fixed to the threaded head 27 through a hose and a threaded connector.
[0031] In practice: Solenoid valve 210 is connected to argon storage tank through a pipeline. Argon gas is controlled by the flow rate of solenoid valve 210, and then enters the protective cylinder 1 through the four-way pipe and the threaded head 27. Since the threaded head 27 is evenly distributed circumferentially, the argon gas is relatively uniform throughout the protective cylinder 1 when it is injected. The auxiliary block 24 is used to strengthen the fixation of the welding torch rod 22 to prevent shaking during welding operations. The triangular block 25 is used to reduce the resistance when the argon gas flows through. Then, due to the special shape of the cone head cover 26 and the double cone block 23, a cone-shaped annular flow channel is formed. When the argon gas passes through, it will concentrate towards the center. After contacting the welding point, it will spread evenly to the surrounding area due to the impact, thereby improving the overall argon gas utilization rate and reducing the amount used.
[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In one aspect of this embodiment, the auxiliary component 3 includes an assembly groove 31, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the protective cylinder 1. A screw 32 is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the assembly groove 31, and an anti-slip swivel ring 35 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw 32. A nut block 33 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw 32, and the nut block 33 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the assembly groove 31. A handle 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the nut block 33.
[0033] In practice: by turning the anti-slip swivel ring 35, the screw 32 can be rotated. The nut block 33 is restricted by the inner wall of the assembly groove 31, so when the screw 32 rotates, it will cause it to move linearly along the screw 32, which will drive the handle 34 to move together to adjust the position of the handle 34. The handle 34 makes it easier to use and operate the device.
[0034] All electrical devices in this plan are powered by an external power source.
[0035] Working principle: In the argon arc welding equipment, the solenoid valve 210 is connected to the argon gas storage tank via a pipeline, bearing the crucial responsibility of precisely controlling the argon gas flow rate. After the flow rate is regulated by the solenoid valve 210, the argon gas flows into the four-way pipe through the pipeline, and then enters the protective cylinder 1 through the threaded head 27. It is worth mentioning that the threaded head 27 is evenly distributed circumferentially. This ingenious design allows the argon gas to be evenly distributed throughout the protective cylinder 1 when injected, providing a stable and uniform gas environment for subsequent welding operations.
[0036] The auxiliary block 24 plays a crucial supporting role in the entire device. It effectively strengthens the fixation of the welding torch rod 22, preventing shaking during welding operations and ensuring welding accuracy and stability. The triangular block 25 is carefully designed in the argon gas flow path. Its unique shape can significantly reduce the resistance generated when the argon gas flows through, allowing the argon gas to flow more smoothly.
[0037] As the argon gas continues its journey, it encounters a special structure comprised of a cone-shaped shroud 26 and double-cone blocks 23. The unique shapes of these two components cleverly create a conical, annular flow channel. As the argon gas passes through this channel, it naturally concentrates towards the center. When the concentrated argon gas comes into contact with the welding point, it diffuses evenly outwards due to the impact. This design significantly improves the utilization rate of argon gas, reduces unnecessary argon consumption, lowers costs, and aligns with the principles of energy conservation and environmental protection.
[0038] In terms of user experience, the device also features a flexible grip adjustment mechanism. By turning the anti-slip rotating ring 35, the screw 32 rotates accordingly. Because the nut block 33 is constrained by the inner wall of the assembly slot 31, it moves linearly along the screw 32 as the screw 32 rotates. This movement causes the grip 34 to move as well, thus allowing for flexible adjustment of the grip 34's position. Operators can easily adjust the position of the grip 34 according to their own usage habits and actual operational needs, making it easier to control the entire device and improving operational comfort and convenience.

Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
