Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of welding wire spool technology, and in particular relates to a lightweight, high-strength welding wire spool with a metal skeleton. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of society, welding wire is used as a filler metal or as a conductive metal wire for welding. In the process of welding wire production and packaging, the welding wire spool needs to be connected to the rotating shaft of the winding device. The welding wire is stored, transported and used by winding it on the welding wire spool.
[0003] In the production, storage and welding of welding wire, the welding wire spool is the core load-bearing component. Traditional products are made of plastic. Ordinary plastic welding wire spools have low strength and are prone to breakage of the column and deformation of the limiting plate due to the tension of the welding wire winding or collision during handling. On the other hand, all-metal welding wire spools are heavy, which makes handling inconvenient and increases warehousing and transportation costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of welding wire spool that combines lightweight characteristics with high strength and is easy to assemble. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems of traditional products made of plastic, ordinary plastic welding wire reels having low strength and being prone to breakage of the column and deformation of the limiting plate due to welding wire winding tension or collision during handling, and to provide a lightweight, high-strength welding wire reel with a metal skeleton.
[0005] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: It includes a column, one end of which has a first slot, and the other end of which has a second slot. A plurality of circular grooves circumferentially pass through the first and second slots. A first ring of matching size surrounds the outer surface of the first slot. A plurality of connecting posts surround the first ring near the column. A second ring of matching size surrounds the outer surface of the second slot. A plurality of fixing grooves surround the second ring near the column. A first threaded groove is provided at the middle of both ends of the column. A limiting plate is movably connected to both ends of the column. A second threaded groove passes through the middle of the limiting plate. A threaded post of matching size is movably connected inside the second threaded groove. A limiting post is provided on the side of each threaded post. Reinforcing posts surround both sides of the two limiting plates. A plurality of fixing posts connect the reinforcing posts.
[0006] Furthermore, the circular grooves are located on the side of the fixed groove, and the number and diameter of the two are the same. The connecting columns are movably connected inside the circular grooves, and the size and number of the two are the same. The connecting columns are movably connected inside the fixed grooves.
[0007] Furthermore, the first ring, the second ring, and the cylinder are movably connected.
[0008] Furthermore, the first threaded groove is located on the side of the second threaded groove and both have the same diameter and the same thread. The threaded column is movably connected to the inside of the first threaded groove and the threads of both are mutually matched.
[0009] Furthermore, the diameter of the limiting post is larger than the diameter of the threaded post.
[0010] Beneficial effects: This utility model is reasonably designed and has the following beneficial effects:
[0011] 1. The first and second rings are made of lightweight metal and are respectively assembled at the first and second slots at both ends of the column. As the core part of the lateral force bearing of the welding wire spool, the tensile strength of the lightweight metal rings is improved compared with that of the plastic rings, which can effectively resist the radial tension generated when the welding wire is wound and avoid cracking at the slots. At the same time, the matching design of the rings and slots, together with the connection method of the connecting column being inserted into the circular slot and the fixed slot, forms a metal skeleton support, so that the force is evenly distributed at both ends of the column and the overall deformation resistance is improved.
[0012] 2. The connecting column, reinforcing column, and fixing column are all made of lightweight metal, which reduces the weight compared to ordinary metal parts of the same specifications: The connecting column, as the connection medium between the ring and the column, is lightweight and makes the ring assembly easier, allowing a single person to complete the insertion and removal operation; The reinforcing column surrounds both sides of the limiting plate, and the fixing column connects to the reinforcing column, forming a metal support frame for the limiting plate. While ensuring the impact resistance of the limiting plate, it also reduces the overall weight of the limiting plate compared to an all-metal limiting plate, significantly reducing the labor intensity when handling the welding wire reel and reducing the load-bearing pressure when stacking in the warehouse.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0018] Combination Figures 1 to 3 The lightweight, high-strength welding wire spool with a metal frame shown includes a column 1. One end of the column 1 has a first slot 2, and the other end has a second slot 3. Several circular grooves 4 extend through the first slot 2 and the second slot 3. A first circular ring 5 of the same size surrounds the outer surface of the first slot 2. Several connecting posts 6 surround the first circular ring 5 near the column 1. A second circular ring 9 of the same size surrounds the outer surface of the second slot 3. Several fixing grooves 8 surround the second circular ring 9 near the column 1.

Then, the second ring 9 is locked on the second slot 3, so that one end of the connecting post 6 is fixed inside the fixing groove 8. Then, the second threaded groove 12 on the limiting plate 11 is aligned with the first threaded groove 10 on the side of the column 1. Then, the threaded post 13 is screwed into the first threaded groove 10 and the second threaded groove 12 through the limiting post 14, so that the limiting plate and the column 1 are connected to each other. Then, the subsequent wire winding work is carried out.
