Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of titanium alloy parts welding technology, specifically to a protective device for argon arc welding of titanium alloy parts. Background Technology

[0002] During the argon arc welding process of titanium alloy parts, the weld seam is highly susceptible to reaction with oxygen in the air at high temperatures, leading to weld oxidation. Weld oxidation not only reduces the weld's strength, toughness, and other mechanical properties, affecting the performance and service life of the parts, but also causes discoloration and roughness on the weld surface, severely impacting its aesthetics. Currently, most existing argon arc welding equipment focuses only on gas protection during the welding process, lacking effective protection measures for the weld seam after welding, which remains in a high-temperature, red-hot state, thus failing to meet the requirements for welding high-quality titanium alloy parts. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned argon arc welding weld protection devices for titanium alloy parts, this utility model is proposed.

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a protective device for argon arc welding of titanium alloy parts, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A protective device for argon arc welding of titanium alloy parts includes a first protective shell and a second protective shell. The two second protective shells are respectively disposed on both sides of the first protective shell. An air blowing plate is fixedly disposed on the lower side of both the first and second protective shells. The surface of the air blowing plate is provided with multiple air blowing holes. A rotating block is fixedly disposed on the side of each of the two second protective shells near the first protective shell. A rotating rod is rotatably sleeved inside the rotating block. A connecting block is rotatably sleeved at both ends of the rotating rod. One side of the connecting block is fixedly connected to the first protective shell. A protective gas inlet pipe is connected to the middle of the upper surface of the first protective shell. The upper ends of the protective gas inlet pipe are connected to the second protective shells through connecting pipes on both sides. A transmission mechanism is provided on both sides of the lower end of the protective gas inlet pipe to drive the two second protective shells to rotate around the rotating rod.

[0007] Preferably, the transmission mechanism includes push rods and pins. Two side plates are fixedly installed on the outer walls of both sides of the lower end of the protective gas inlet pipe. A transmission rod is rotatably installed on the two side plates. Multiple push rods are respectively installed on both sides of the corresponding second protective shell. The upper ends of multiple push rods are fixedly sleeved with one end of the corresponding transmission rod. Multiple pins are rotatably sleeved on the side of the lower end of the push rod near the second protective shell. Both sides of the second protective shell are provided with strip grooves. One end of the pin extends to the inner side of the corresponding strip groove. A limiting mechanism for restricting the rotation of the transmission rod is provided between the two side plates.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting ring and a first threaded rod. The limiting ring is disposed between the two side plates and is fixedly sleeved with the middle end of the transmission rod. The side wall of the limiting ring is provided with a plurality of insertion holes arranged in a ring array with the center of the limiting ring as the axis. A fixing plate is fixedly disposed between the two side plates and on one side of the limiting ring. A first threaded hole is provided in the middle of the fixing plate, and one end of the first threaded rod is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole.

[0009] Preferably, a horizontal plate is fixedly sleeved on the upper end of the protective gas inlet pipe, and an installation hole is opened on the surface of the horizontal plate away from the protective gas inlet pipe. An installation tube is fixedly sleeved inside the installation hole, and a second threaded hole is opened on one side of the installation tube. A second threaded rod is threadedly sleeved inside the second threaded hole.

[0010] Preferably, both connecting pipes are flexible hoses.

[0011] Preferably, the inner wall of the strip groove and the rod wall of the round pin are both coated with a wear-resistant coating.

[0012] Preferably, a rubber pad is fixedly installed at one end of the second threaded rod located inside the mounting tube.

[0013] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model adjusts the angle of the second protective shell through a transmission mechanism. Rotating the transmission rod drives the push rod to push the round pin to slide within the strip groove, causing the second protective shell to rotate around the rotating rod as an axis, thus matching the arc of the weld. After the limiting ring and the first threaded rod are engaged and fixed at an angle, the protective gas flows from the protective gas inlet pipe through the connecting pipe into the blowing plate. Argon gas is continuously blown onto the high-temperature weld through the blowing holes, forming a dynamic protective gas curtain. This cools the weld while preventing oxygen from contacting it, improving the mechanical properties and aesthetics of the weld.

[0015] 2. In this utility model, the installation tube fixes the welding head through the second threaded rod, and the rubber pad prevents clamping damage, so that the protection device can move with the welding head and ensure that the protective gas curtain always covers the weld during the welding process.

The upper ends of multiple push rods 11 are fixedly sleeved with one end of the corresponding transmission rod 10. Multiple pins 12 are rotatably sleeved on the side of the lower end of the push rod 11 near the second protective shell 2. Both sides of the second protective shell 2 are provided with strip grooves. One end of the pin 12 extends to the inner side of the corresponding strip groove. The inner wall of the strip groove and the rod wall of the pin 12 are coated with a wear-resistant coating to improve the wear resistance of the inner wall of the strip groove and the pin 12. A limiting mechanism is provided between the two side plates 9 to restrict the rotation of the transmission rod 10.

[0026] Reference Figure 1-3 The limiting mechanism includes a limiting ring 8 and a first threaded rod 17.
