Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0025] A dual-head welding torch mechanism for automatic argon arc welding includes a welding torch holder 1, a flow guiding component 3 at the bottom of the welding torch holder 1, and a dual-head welding torch mechanism 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the welding torch holder 1 for realizing dual-torch welding. The dual-head welding torch mechanism 2 includes:

[0026] The welding torch unit 21 is located above the welding torch holder 1 and includes a set of torch bodies 211 fixedly installed above the welding torch holder 1. The angle between the two sets of torch bodies 211 is 35 degrees, and dual-torch welding is achieved through the tungsten needle unit 22.

[0027] The tungsten needle unit 22 is located inside the welding torch unit 21 and is used to replace the tungsten needle.

[0028] The adjustment unit 23 is located outside the welding torch unit 21 and is used to dynamically adjust the position of the tungsten needle.

[0029] By setting two welding torch units 21 offset at a certain angle on the welding torch holder 1, the function of simultaneous operation of two torches is realized. This allows the currents of the two welding machines to be superimposed and applied to the workpiece when they are applied to the two welding torches respectively, thereby significantly improving the welding current output capability.

[0030] In this embodiment, the welding torch unit 21 also includes a torch cooling water inlet 212 and a torch cooling water outlet 213 fixedly installed on the surface of the torch body 211 for circulating cooling of the torch body 211. A protective gas inlet 214 is fixedly installed on the surface of the torch body 211.

[0031] Each welding torch unit 21 is equipped with an independent cooling water circulation system, including a torch body cooling water inlet 212 and a torch body cooling water outlet 213, to ensure that the torch body 211 can be effectively cooled under high current operating conditions, and to avoid performance degradation or damage caused by overheating.

[0032] Each gun body 211 is also equipped with an independent protective gas inlet 214, which effectively prevents tungsten needle oxidation and protects welding quality.

[0033] In this embodiment, the tungsten needle unit 22 includes a threaded sleeve 221 that is rotatably mounted on the top of the gun body 211. A tungsten needle inner clamp 223 is fixedly installed inside the threaded sleeve 221, and a tungsten needle 224 is fixedly installed inside the tungsten needle inner clamp 223.

[0034] In this embodiment, the adjustment unit 23 includes a nut seat 231 rotatably mounted on the surface of the gun body 211, and a spring 232 is installed between the nut seat 231 and the gun body 211 for limiting the connection. The gun body 211 and the welding gun holder 1 are connected by a sliding sleeve, and the nut seat 231 is threadedly mounted on the surface of the sliding sleeve.

[0035] In this embodiment, the flow guiding component 3 includes a water-cooled base 31 fixedly installed at the bottom of the welding torch holder 1. A gas flow guiding groove circulating water-cooled inlet 32 ​​and a gas flow guiding groove circulating water-cooled outlet 33 are fixedly installed on one side of the water-cooled base 31. A gas flow guiding groove 34 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water-cooled base 31 to ensure more sufficient protective gas during welding.

[0036] The two welding torches share a single gas guide channel 34, which ensures more sufficient protective gas during welding and better welding results. Since the guide channel is located at a high welding temperature, it is designed with a circulating water cooling tank, which can effectively remove welding heat and ultimately achieve high-speed, high-current automated welding.

[0037] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0038] During operation, firstly, two holes are opened on the welding torch holder 1 at a certain angle, and a double-headed welding torch mechanism 2 is installed in each hole. The double-headed welding torch mechanism 2 is equipped with an outer tungsten needle clamp 222 and an inner tungsten needle clamp 223. The outer tungsten needle clamp 222 and the inner tungsten needle clamp 223 are equipped with welding tungsten needles 224. The tips of the tungsten needles 224 of the two double-headed welding torch mechanisms 2 are tangent. When the two welding machines are working on the welding torches respectively, their currents are superimposed and act on the workpiece to complete the high-current welding.

[0039] Next, when the double-headed welding torch mechanism 2 is running, the torch body cooling water inlet 212 inputs cooling water into the torch body 211 and flows out from the torch body cooling water outlet 213 to circulate and cool the torch body 211. The protective gas is input into the torch body 211 through the protective gas inlet 214 to protect the tungsten needle 224.

[0040] Secondly, the user rotates the threaded sleeve 221 and pulls the tungsten needle 224 out of the gun body 211 through the tungsten needle outer clamp 222 and the tungsten needle inner clamp 223 to replace the tungsten needle 224;

[0041] Then, the user rotates the nut seat 231, causing the gun body to move inside the slide sleeve, thereby adjusting the position of the gun body.
