[0002] In the welding robots of the automobile welding plant, the welding torch of the welding robot will generate high temperature due to the strong current during the welding process. It is necessary to use circulating cooling water to cool it to prevent damage to the welding torch.
[0003] In existing technologies, the temperature of the water supply in the workstation is often monitored and controlled. However, during the continuous flow of water, it is often greatly affected by the external environment, resulting in situations where the temperature and flow rate of the cooling water at the welding torch do not meet the standards, leading to low monitoring accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0004] This application provides a screen-display water flow monitor, which can effectively monitor the temperature and flow rate of cooling water in the cooling water pipe, thereby improving the monitoring accuracy of the cold water flow and temperature at the welding torch.
[0005] This application provides a screen-display water flow monitor for assisting welding robots in monitoring cooling water flow. The monitor includes a housing with a receiving groove and a control panel for sealing the opening of the receiving groove.

The display screen is located near the control panel, and the control panel has a transparent cover corresponding to the display screen. The monitoring block is located at the bottom of the receiving groove and contains a flow meter. The flow meter is electrically connected to the circuit board, which in turn is electrically connected to the display screen and the control panel. A water flow channel is provided within the monitoring block, with both ends penetrating the two side walls of the receiving groove to connect to cooling water pipes. This allows the flow meter to sense the cooling water flow as it passes through the water flow channel, and the information about the cooling water flow is then displayed on the display screen.
[0006] In one possible implementation, the housing is a square housing, and there are two monitoring blocks, defined as a first monitoring block and a second monitoring block, which are symmetrically distributed along the length of the housing. The first monitoring block is provided with a workstation inlet and an outlet, which are connected to the cooling outlet of the workstation through the workstation inlet. The second monitoring block is provided with a workstation return water inlet and an inlet, which are connected to the cooling return water inlet of the workstation through the workstation return water inlet. The outlet and the inlet are respectively connected to the inlet and outlet of the welding torch cooling water circuit.
[0007] In one possible implementation, the monitoring block is provided with connectors at both ends of the water flow channel for connecting to the cooling water flow pipe. The connectors are stainless steel connectors, and the monitoring block is an engineering plastic monitoring block.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the flow meter is a temperature-flow composite flow meter that integrates a temperature sensor and a flow measurement module.
[0009] In one possible implementation, the control panel is further provided with an automatic water shut-off knob and an emergency stop knob for connecting to a solenoid valve on the cooling water flow pipe.
[0010] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the screen-display water flow monitor provided in this application can monitor the temperature and flow rate of cooling water in the cooling water pipe in real time by setting up a control panel, display screen and monitoring block, and display it clearly on the display screen, which is convenient for on-site staff to view without extra operation and is easy to use.

[0015] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
[0016] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of this specification, the terms "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They 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. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0017] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.
[0018] refer to Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a screen-display water flow monitor for assisting welding robots in monitoring cooling water flow. The monitor includes a housing 10. The housing 10 has a receiving groove 101 and a control panel 20 for sealing the opening of the receiving groove 101. A display screen 30, a circuit board 40, and a monitoring block 50 are sequentially arranged within the receiving groove 101. The display screen 30 is located close to the control panel 20, and the control panel 20 has a transparent mask 21 corresponding to the display screen 30. The transparent mask 21 on the control panel 20 displays real-time information such as the temperature and flow rate of the cooling water on the display screen 30 for workers to view without additional operation. The monitoring block 50 is located within the receiving groove 101. The bottom of the 01 tank is equipped with a flow meter 51, which is electrically connected to the circuit board 40. The circuit board 40 is electrically connected to the display screen 30 and the control panel 20. In addition, the monitoring block 50 is equipped with a water flow channel 501, the two ends of which pass through the two side walls of the receiving tank 101 to connect to the cooling water flow pipe. When the cooling water flows through the water flow channel 501, it can be sensed by the flow meter 51, and then the information of the cooling water flow can be displayed on the display screen 30.
[0019] Therefore, the screen-display water flow monitor provided in this application can monitor the temperature and flow rate of the cooling water in the cooling water pipe in real time through the monitoring block, and the information can be clearly displayed on the control panel 20 and the display screen 30, making it convenient for on-site personnel to view without additional operation and easy to use. Compared with the prior art, the screen-display water flow monitor provided in this application can be placed in a suitable position in the cooling water pipe to accurately monitor the cooling water flow information at the welding torch, and the monitoring accuracy of water temperature, flow rate, etc. is higher, and it is no longer limited to monitoring only the water information in the workstation.
[0020] In one embodiment, the housing 10 is a square housing, and there are two monitoring blocks 50, defined as a first monitoring block 52 and a second monitoring block 53, which are symmetrically distributed along the length of the housing 10. The first monitoring block 52 has a workstation inlet 521 and an outlet 522, connected to the cooling outlet of the workstation 60 via the workstation inlet 521. The second monitoring block 53 has a workstation return outlet 531 and an inlet 532, connected to the cooling return outlet of the workstation 60 via the workstation return outlet 531. The outlet 522 and the inlet 532... Water inlet 532 is connected to the inlet and outlet of the welding torch cooling water circuit. The cooling water stored in workstation 60 enters the first monitoring block 52 through the cooling outlet and workstation inlet 521, then enters the inlet of the welding torch cooling water circuit through outlet 522, flows through the welding torch and exits from the outlet, then enters the second monitoring block 53 through inlet 532, and finally flows back to workstation 60 through workstation return water inlet 531 and cooling return water inlet, thus completing one cooling water circuit cycle. This allows for simultaneous monitoring of the inlet temperature and flow rate of the cooling water at the welding torch, further improving the monitoring accuracy of the cooling water temperature and flow rate for the welding torch.
[0021] The on-site cooling water undergoes a repeated circulation process. During this process, the cooling water itself contains many impurities and its pH level changes. To ensure the stable use of the device of this invention, we use a combination of engineering plastics and stainless steel to construct the water flow pipes to prevent the adhesion and corrosion of impurities in the water flow. Therefore, in one embodiment, the monitoring block 50 is provided with connectors 54 at both ends of the water flow channel 501 for connecting the cooling water flow pipes, wherein the connectors 54 are stainless steel connectors, and the monitoring block 50 is an engineering plastic monitoring block.
[0022] In one embodiment, the flow meter 51 is a temperature-flow composite flow meter that integrates a temperature sensor and a flow measurement module, and can simultaneously monitor the temperature and flow rate of the cooling water.
[0023] In one embodiment, the control panel 20 is further provided with an automatic shut-off knob and an emergency stop knob for connecting to a solenoid valve on the cooling water pipe. The automatic shut-off knob automatically shuts off the solenoid valve when a preset time is reached, and the emergency stop knob actively shuts off the solenoid valve in an emergency (such as a water leak), making it safer to use.
[0024] It should be noted that the terms "first" and "second" used in this application are for descriptive purposes only and do not indicate any order. They should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, and can be interpreted as names.
[0025] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The advantages of the present invention have been fully and effectively realized. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments, and any modifications or variations may be made to the implementation of the present invention without departing from the stated principles.
