TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In the gas shielded welding manipulator welding work process, the working angle of the welding torch has a great influence on the product welding quality. The proper welding angle can ensure that the weld is uniform and full, and avoid the weld being too high or too low. At present, the manipulator programming mostly depends on the teaching programming mode, and the programmer adjusts the angle of the welding torch during operation to obtain an excellent weld appearance.
[0003] However, the existing gas shielded welding manipulator welding torch generally lacks welding angle display function. This leads to the welding programmer being able to only rely on personal experience to judge whether the welding torch angle meets the requirements when programming. Due to the lack of precise quantitative basis, this experience-dependent approach is prone to cause many problems: on the one hand, the welding angle deviation is large, and it is difficult to achieve the ideal state; on the other hand, the adjustment process is poor in repeatability and difficult to ensure consistency; in addition, the adjustment time is long, which reduces the welding efficiency. The existence of these problems not only affects the stability of the welding quality, but also restricts the improvement of the welding efficiency. SUMMARY

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model and not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0017] The utility model will be described in detail below. In the following paragraphs, different aspects of the embodiments are defined in more detail. Each aspect thus defined can be combined with any other aspect or aspects, unless explicitly indicated otherwise. In particular, any feature that is considered to be preferred or advantageous can be combined with other feature or features that are considered to be preferred or advantageous.
[0018] In the description of the utility model, it needs to be understood that the orientation or position relationship indicated by the terms "inner", "outer", "upper", "lower", "left" and "right" is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the utility model, and does not indicate or imply that the device must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model.
[0019] Reference Figure 1The utility model discloses a kind of gas shielded welding torchs with angle display, when welding gun posture changes, the welding gun angle of real-time display when welding gun current position, the welding gun includes: welding gun body 2, the welding gun body 2 inside is equipped with the conveying channel for conveying welding wire and protective gas, one end is connected with mechanical hand body through welding gun connecting piece 5, the other end is equipped with welding gun head, detachable sheath 1 is equipped on the outside of the welding gun head, display screen 3 and angle measurement module are connected on the welding gun body 2, the display screen 3 has arc interference resistance high temperature influence resistance, the display screen 3 and the angle measurement module 4 realize data real-time display by welding gun internal data communication line.
[0020] In some embodiments, the sheath 1 is made of high-temperature-resistant material and is connected to the welding gun body 2 by a buckle connection method, which facilitates quick installation and replacement. A predetermined gap is provided between the sheath 1 and the welding gun head after installation, which can effectively protect the welding gun head from collision damage and reduce the impact of heat dissipation on the welding process.
[0021] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral surface of the welding gun body 2 is provided with an annular groove, and the angle measurement module 4 includes multiple MEMS acceleration sensors uniformly embedded in the annular groove along the circumference of the welding gun body 2. Specifically, the MEMS acceleration sensors are fixed in the annular groove by screws or buckles, ensuring their stability during the welding process. The shape of the annular groove restricts the movement of the MEMS acceleration sensors, preventing them from shifting position due to vibration of the welding gun or external forces during operation after installation, ensuring the stability of the measurement. At the same time, the MEMS acceleration sensors are fixed on the outside of the welding gun body 2, which can reduce the vibration impact on them during the delivery of welding wire and protective gas, and reduce the direct baking of high-temperature MEMS acceleration sensors inside the welding gun, thereby helping to prolong the service life of the MEMS acceleration sensors.
[0022] The basic principle of the MEMS acceleration sensor is to measure the inclination angle of the welding gun based on the component of gravitational acceleration. When the welding gun is inclined relative to the direction of gravity, the gravitational acceleration will generate components on the sensitive axes (usually X and Y axes) of the MEMS acceleration sensor, and the internal circuit of the MEMS acceleration sensor detects the size of these acceleration components. The microprocessor built-in the MEMS acceleration sensor calculates the ratio of the acceleration components to the gravitational acceleration through inverse trigonometric functions, thereby obtaining the inclination angle and realizing angle measurement.
[0023] Reference Figure 2As shown, the welding angle is the angle between the welding torch and the workpiece surface. In gas shielded welding, the appropriate selection of the welding angle is crucial to the welding result. A suitable welding angle ensures a uniform and full weld, avoiding welds that are too high or too low. Preferably, four MEMS accelerometers are used, and any tilting posture of the welding torch in space will be simultaneously sensed by the four MEMS accelerometers. By fitting and analyzing the data from the four MEMS accelerometers, the welding angle and forward tilt angle of the welding torch at its current position can be displayed. For example, when the welding torch tilts in a certain direction, two adjacent MEMS accelerometers will detect acceleration components of different magnitudes. By weighted averaging or other fusion algorithms on these components, the blind zone of a single sensor measurement can be eliminated, improving measurement accuracy. This can effectively reduce measurement errors and improve the overall accuracy of angle measurement.
[0024] In some embodiments, the angle measurement module 4 further includes a gyroscope sensor. The gyroscope sensor has better robustness against vibration and shock interference, and combined with data from a MEMS accelerometer, it can operate more stably in complex welding environments, reducing the impact of external interference on angle measurement.
[0025] In some embodiments, the angle measurement module 4 includes a first angle measurement unit for detecting the welding angle of the welding torch and a second angle measurement unit for detecting the forward tilt angle of the welding torch. Both the first and second angle measurement units include paired MEMS accelerometer sensors. (Reference) Figure 3 As shown, the welding torch tilt angle refers to the angle at which the welding torch is tilted in the welding direction. The welding torch tilt angle can affect the welding heat input, thereby controlling the weld penetration and width. A suitable welding torch tilt angle helps to form an ideal weld pool shape and improve weld quality.
