This facilitates the placement of the welding wire and allows for easy adjustment of welding wires of different diameters to ensure they are in contact with the contact block through the rotation of the rotating plate. However, this device has a complex structure and cannot achieve automatic feeding of welding wire. Utility Model Content

[0032] Specifically, the drive motor 21 has a housing on its outer side, a support platform on top of the housing, and sliding grooves on the top of both the housing and the support platform. One end of the housing has a heat dissipation hole.

[0033] Specifically, the clamping block 22 is slidably connected in a groove between the top of the housing and the top of the support platform.

[0034] In this embodiment, the base 1, clamping mechanism 2, measuring mechanism 3, and winding mechanism 4 constitute a welding wire diameter measuring device according to this application.

[0035] It should also be noted that any stainless steel welding wire used in this application can be used with this equipment; this application does not limit the specific type of stainless steel welding wire.

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] Specifically, the clamping module 23 includes: a bidirectional screw 231, which is mounted on one side of the support platform via a fixed seat and is rotatably connected to the fixed seat; a guide rod 232, which is mounted on the other side of the support platform via a fixed seat and is fixedly connected to the fixed seat; and a rotating sleeve 233, which is rotatably connected to the top of the clamping block 22, with one end threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw 231 and the other end slidably connected to the guide rod 232.

[0038] In this embodiment, the rotation of the bidirectional screw 231 drives the rotating sleeve 233 to slide along the guide rod 232, thereby clamping the welding wire and achieving the clamping of the welding wire.

[0039] Example 3:

[0040] Specifically, the fixed measurement module 32 includes: an adjusting screw 321, which is rotatably connected to the slide groove of the measuring platform 31; and a fixed plate 322, which is slidably connected to the slide groove of the measuring platform 31 and threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 321.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first adjusting screw 321 rotates to drive the fixed plate 322 to slide in the groove, and the position of the fixed plate 322 is adjusted for measurement.

[0046] In actual use, the operator first rotates the bidirectional screw 231 to adjust the distance between the clamping blocks 22 so that they can just clamp the welding wire. Then, the operator starts the drive motor 21 to rotate the clamping blocks 22 and transport the welding wire to the measuring mechanism 3. The operator then turns off the drive motor 21 and rotates the adjusting screws 321 and 331 to position the welding wire between the fixed plate 322 and the telescopic rod 333. At this time, the initial reading on the display is zero. When the welding wire passes between the fixed plate 322 and the telescopic rod 333, the sensor on the telescopic rod 333 measures the distance between it and the fixed plate 322. The sensor transmits the distance change to the display through the wire. The reading displayed on the display is the diameter of the welding wire. Then, the operator starts the drive motor 21 to continue transporting the welding wire to the winding mechanism 4. The operator starts the drive motor 41 to make the winding shaft 42 wind up the welding wire so that the remaining welding wire can pass straight between the fixed plate 322 and the telescopic rod 333 to continue measuring the diameter of the remaining welding wire.
