Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding technology, and in particular to a disassembly device for a vertical welding electrode cap. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the automotive industry, body-in-white manufacturing utilizes assembly line operations, requiring high output, high cycle time, high equipment uptime, and low failure rates. If even one station on the assembly line stops, the entire line stops, reducing cycle time and production efficiency. Therefore, automotive manufacturers are highly sensitive to downtime. However, currently, electrode caps for welding torches / welding clamps are replaced manually. Because the number of welding points, welding pressure, and current vary at each station, the consumption rate of electrode caps is inconsistent. If they are replaced all at once, most electrode caps will be underused or overused. This leads to electrode cap waste, weld defects, and even affects equipment stability and damage to the welding equipment. If electrode caps are replaced according to their actual consumption rate at different stations, each replacement requires a shutdown, resulting in excessive downtime and impacting production efficiency.

[0003] Publication Number: CN208961219U. A novel automatic electrode cap replacement device includes: a drive mechanism and a disassembly mechanism, with the drive mechanism and disassembly mechanism being driven together. The disassembly mechanism includes: a rack, a guide bar, an electrode cap disassembly gear, an electrode cap clamping block, and a pivot pin. The rack is movably connected within the guide bar and connected to the drive mechanism. The electrode cap disassembly gear meshes with the rack. An installation structure is provided on the electrode cap disassembly gear. The electrode cap clamping block is disposed within the installation structure and connected to the housing of the disassembly mechanism via the pivot pin. When the electrode cap disassembly gear rotates under the drive of the rack, it drives the electrode cap clamping block to rotate around the axis of the pivot pin, causing the electrode cap clamping block to clamp and rotate the electrode cap to be disassembled. Existing electrode cap disassembly devices for welding fixtures have poor linkage between the electrode cap storage mechanism and the assembled welding fixture during use, resulting in poor mobility when replacing new caps.
