[0002] Welding machines are widely used on construction sites. Due to the influence of circuit load and outdoor rainfall, welding machines may overheat or short-circuit, leading to multiple fires and other accidents, which greatly threaten the safety of construction workers. At the same time, the work sites are mobile, with application scenarios such as foundation pits, roofs, and bridges. Welding machines need to be moved flexibly to meet the construction needs of various locations. Welding cables need to be moved with the welding machines, and they need to be quickly and efficiently retrieved and put into use as soon as possible after being moved. Therefore, the cumbersome issues of cable recycling and use need to be resolved.

The cage body includes a bottom plate, four side walls and a top plate. The top plate is a rainproof cover. The switch box is installed in the switch box cage welded to the side walls. The side walls are also provided with a welding wire take-up reel. The welding wire take-up reel is rotatably connected to the side walls through bearings. The bottom surface of the top plate is also provided with a fire warning system.

[0007] More preferably, the fire alarm system includes a photoelectric alarm, a voice alarm, a smoke detector, and a high-temperature detector.

[0008] Furthermore, the rainproof cover is formed by two steel plates, with the two steel plates sloped to both sides by 5%.

[0009] Furthermore, the input terminal of the switch box is electrically connected to the distribution box, and the output terminal is electrically connected to the welding machine.

[0012] In addition, lifting rings are welded to the top surface of the side wall and both sides of the top plate.

[0013] More preferably, the cage is a fence-like structure formed by welding steel bars.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following features and beneficial effects:

[0015] This application effectively solves the technical problem of failing to detect high-temperature combustion in the early stages of welding machine use by using a welding machine cage with fire monitoring and alarm functions. With a pre-installed switch box and welding wire reel, the welding machine power can be quickly switched on and off, and secondary side cables can be retrieved, facilitating site cleanup and welding machine transport after work. The bottom is equipped with shock-absorbing casters, and the top has a pre-installed lifting ring, enabling rapid horizontal movement and vertical transport. A rainproof cover is installed on the top, slightly larger than the cage body, forming a 5% water diffuser from the center outwards. Smoke and high-temperature sensors are installed under the cover, connected to an audible and visual alarm device via heat-insulated fire-resistant cables, enabling timely alarm in case of abnormalities. A fire extinguisher cage is also provided on the other side for use with fire extinguishers, effectively controlling fires in their initial stages.

[0016] Using this application can effectively prevent fires and ensure high safety; the welding machine can be quickly transported horizontally and vertically, making it highly practical; the main material is steel bars, which are readily available and economical; during use, features such as wire recovery, quick switching, rainproof performance, and alarm functions are all practical and effective, greatly improving the ease of use of the welding machine.
