Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of wire feeding devices, specifically relating to a wire feeding die head and a wire feeding tube protection device. Background Technology

[0002] In existing wire feeding equipment, wire is generally wrapped in a wire feeding tube, and the output end of the wire feeding tube is fixed to the welding head. As the welding head reciprocates on the surface of the workpiece, the wire inside the wire feeding tube is welded to the surface of the workpiece. During this process, since the wire feeding tube passes through the wire feeding die on the surface of the welding head, the wire feeding die is used to limit the wire feeding tube (not clamping or limiting, but only by opening a hole larger than the diameter of the wire feeding tube) to prevent the wire feeding tube from affecting the welding head. As the welding head reciprocates, it will drag the wire feeding tube to move, which will cause the wire feeding tube to rub against the wire feeding die repeatedly. After long-term operation, the contact point between the wire feeding die and the wire feeding tube will be worn, affecting the limiting of the wire feeding tube by the wire feeding die.

[0003] Therefore, a protective device for the wire feeding die and the wire feeding tube is designed to solve the technical problem of wear caused by frequent friction between the wire feeding die and the wire feeding tube in the prior art.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of the present application concept, and therefore, the above description is not considered to constitute prior art information. Utility Model Content

[0005] This disclosure provides at least one wire feeding die head and wire feeding tube protection device.

[0007] The mold head support has a central slot for the cable feed pipe;

[0008] At least one pair of lateral guards and at least one pair of longitudinal guards;

[0009] The transverse protective rod in the transverse protective mechanism and the longitudinal protective rod in the longitudinal protective mechanism are both connected to the bearing of the mold head support.

[0010] Two horizontal guardrails and two vertical guardrails are arranged in a grid pattern; among them

[0011] The lateral and longitudinal guard bars are adapted to abut against the outer wall of the wire feeding tube and rotate when the die head support causes the wire feeding tube to undergo lateral and longitudinal displacement.

[0018] Two longitudinal protective bases are positioned opposite each other on the inner wall of the cable feed pipe insertion location; wherein

[0019] Both ends of the longitudinal protective rod are respectively connected to the opposite bearing surfaces of the two longitudinal protective bases.

[0020] In one optional embodiment, the longitudinal guard rods in each of the longitudinal guard mechanisms are respectively located on both sides of the cable feed tube; and

[0021] The axial direction of the two longitudinal protective rods is parallel to the long side direction of the mold head bracket.

[0022] Secondly, embodiments of this disclosure also provide a conduit protection device, comprising:

[0023] The above-mentioned at least one pair of lateral protective mechanisms and at least one pair of longitudinal protective mechanisms;

[0024] The transverse protective rod in the transverse protective mechanism and the longitudinal protective rod in the longitudinal protective mechanism are both connected to the bearing of the mold head support.

[0025] Two horizontal guardrails and two vertical guardrails are arranged in a grid pattern; among them

[0026] The lateral and longitudinal guard bars are adapted to abut against the outer wall of the wire feeding tube and rotate when the die head support causes the wire feeding tube to undergo lateral and longitudinal displacement.

[0027] In one optional implementation, each of the lateral protection mechanisms includes:

[0028] Two horizontal protective bases are respectively installed on both sides of the cable conduit insertion location; wherein

[0029] The two ends of the transverse protective rod are respectively connected to the opposite bearings of the two transverse protective bases.

[0030] In one optional embodiment, the lateral guard rods in each of the lateral guard mechanisms are respectively located on both sides of the cable feed tube; and

[0031] The axial direction of the two transverse protective bars is parallel to the short side direction of the mold head bracket.

The longitudinal protection rod works similarly. When the wire feeding die head moves, it drags the wire feeding tube up and down within the wire feeding tube insertion position. The rotation of the longitudinal protection rod reduces the friction with the wire feeding tube, thereby reducing wear.

[0051] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing specific exemplary configurations only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular articles “a,” “an,” and “the” may also be intended to include plural forms unless otherwise clearly stated herein.

Therefore, a particular feature, structure, or characteristic can be included in more than one embodiment of this disclosure, such that these phrases do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

[0053] Research has revealed that existing wire feeding equipment typically uses a wire feeding tube to cover the wire, fixing the output end of the tube to the welding head. As the welding head reciprocates across the workpiece surface, the wire inside the tube is welded to the workpiece surface. During this process, the wire feeding tube penetrates the wire feeding die on the welding head surface. The die limits the wire feeding tube (not clamping, but simply creating a hole larger than the tube diameter) to prevent it from interfering with the welding head's welding. However, the reciprocating motion of the welding head drags the wire feeding tube, causing it to rub against the die repeatedly. Over time, the contact point between the die and the tube wears down, affecting the die's ability to limit the wire feeding tube.

[0054] Based on the above research, this disclosure provides a protective device for a wire feeding die and a wire feeding tube. By providing a transverse protective mechanism and a longitudinal protective mechanism, when the welding head drives the wire feeding die to move horizontally, the transverse protective rod contacts the outer wall of the wire feeding tube and rotates around the axis. The transverse protective rod is connected to the bearing of the wire feeding die. When friction occurs between the two, the transverse protective rod rotates to reduce the friction between the wire feeding tube and the transverse protective rod. Similarly, the longitudinal protective rod is used. When the wire feeding die moves, it drags the wire feeding tube up and down within the wire feeding tube insertion position. The rotation of the longitudinal protective rod reduces friction with the wire feeding tube to reduce wear.

[0055] The shortcomings of the above solutions are the result of the inventor's practical experience and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed in this disclosure should be considered as the inventor's contribution to this disclosure.

[0056] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0057] The following detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, during operation, the driver drives the welding head to move, and the welding head drives the die head support 1 mounted on it to move synchronously, welding the wire in the wire feeding tube 4 to the surface of the workpiece. During the movement of the die head support 1 ( Figure 1 In the F1 direction, as the die head support 1 moves laterally following the welding head, the welding head will drive the die head support 1 to move laterally according to welding needs. During this process, since the area of ​​the wire feeding tube insertion position 10 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the wire feeding tube 4, the lateral guard rod 21 will abut against the outer wall of the wire feeding tube 4. The cross-section of the lateral guard rod 21 is preferably circular. The contact area between the lateral guard rod 21 and the outer wall of the wire feeding tube 4 is smaller than the contact area between the wire feeding tube 4 and the inner wall of the wire feeding tube insertion position 10, thereby reducing friction. Since the movement path of the welding head is relatively long, and The output end of the feed tube 4 is fixed to the welding head. Therefore, when the welding head moves a long distance, it will drag the feed tube 4 to slide vertically within the feed tube insertion position 10. At this time, due to the presence of the longitudinal guard rod 31, its working principle is the same as that of the transverse guard rod 21. It uses a smaller contact area to reduce the friction between the feed tube 4 and the longitudinal guard rod 31. Since the transverse guard rod 21 and the longitudinal guard rod 31 are both connected to the transverse guard base 20 and the longitudinal guard base 30 bearings, they rotate when they come into contact with the feed tube 4, which can further reduce wear.

[0059] Furthermore, the two horizontal guard bars 21 and the two vertical guard bars 31 are arranged in a grid pattern to form a complete wrap around the cable delivery pipe 4.

[0060] Specifically, the drivers, welding heads, and machined parts mentioned in the above description are... Figure 1 and Figure 2The connection method between the welding head and the mold head support 1, the connection method between the driver and the welding head, and the driving method are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0061] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0062] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, terms such as "first," "second," and other numerical terms used herein do not imply order or sequence unless expressly indicated herein. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the exemplary embodiments, the first element, component, region, layer, or segment discussed above may be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer, or segment.

[0063] Spatially relative terms, such as “inside,” “outside,” “below,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “up,” etc., may be used herein to describe the relationship between one element or feature illustrated in the figures and another element or feature. In addition to the orientations depicted in the figures, spatially relative terms may be intended to cover different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, an element described as “below” or “below” other elements or features would be oriented as “above” other elements or features. Thus, the example term “below” can cover both above and below orientations. The device may be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0064] In the above discussion, unless otherwise stated, when used to describe numerical values, the terms “about,” “approximately,” “basically,” etc., indicate a change of + / - 10% in that value.

[0065] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
