[0002] A welding machine is a device used for welding metals. It uses energy forms such as electrical energy and mechanical energy to permanently connect the materials of the workpieces at the atomic level. There are many types of welding machines, such as arc welding machines and resistance welding machines. Welding machines are indispensable key equipment in many industries such as automobile manufacturing, construction, and machining, and play a vital role in ensuring product quality and production efficiency.

[0003] In welding operations, welding cables are often left haphazardly tangled on the ground when not in use. These messy cables are prone to getting tangled with surrounding equipment and tools, and the outer sheath of the welding cable can be damaged due to long-term friction with the ground. Therefore, it is necessary to design a welding cable winding and unwinding structure. The movable base with casters is integrated with the welding equipment for movement, and the built-in motor drives the winding reel. The cable is temporarily positioned at the first end and then wound up, which can avoid tangling and damage to the outer sheath caused by friction with the ground, thus improving safety. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a welding cable retraction structure for a welding machine, which has a movable base with casters that can move as an integrated unit with the welding equipment, and can retract and store the welding cable. This structure avoids tangled strands and damage to the outer sheath caused by friction with the ground, thus improving safety and solving the aforementioned technical problems.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A welding machine cable winding and unwinding structure includes a movable base, a welding machine host installed on the top of the movable base, a gas cylinder arranged on the left side of the welding machine host, the gas cylinder being fixed to the top of the movable base by a chain, the welding machine host and the gas cylinder being connected by a gas pipe, a base bracket being fixedly connected to the central axis on the front side of the movable base, a drive component being arranged on the top of the base bracket, a turntable being fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive component, a cable reel being fixedly installed on the central axis on the rear side of the turntable, a fixing plate being fixedly connected to the top of the rear side of the turntable, and two symmetrical rotating blocks being rotatably connected to the rear side of the fixing plate by a connecting rod, with a clamping block fixedly connected to one end of each of the two rotating blocks, and the welding cable being wound around the surface of the cable reel.

[0006] Preferably, a welding cable is provided on the right side of the welding machine host. One end of the welding cable is connected to the output end of the welding machine host through a special interface. The end of the welding cable away from the welding machine host is connected to a welding gun. The two clamping blocks are in contact with the welding gun on opposite sides.

[0007] Preferably, a rectangular cover is fixedly connected to the top of the base bracket, the drive assembly is installed in the inner cavity of the rectangular cover, and the turntable rotates on the rear side of the rectangular cover.

[0008] Preferably, side plates are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two clamping blocks, and rollers are installed at the bottom of the movable base and the base bracket.

[0009] Preferably, each of the two side plates is fixedly connected to a vertical rod at the central axis on the rear side, and a spring is sleeved on the surface of the vertical rod. The two ends of the spring are welded to the fixed plate and the side plate, respectively.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] 1. This utility model clamps the welding torch between two clamping blocks, and then uses a rectangular cover, a turntable, and a wire reel to wind the welding cable around the surface of the reel, thus organizing and storing the welding cable. This allows the welding cable to be neatly and orderly stored when not in use, ultimately extending the service life of the welding cable. The movable base with casters can be integrated with the welding equipment for movement. The storage of the welding cable avoids messy tangling and damage to the outer sheath caused by friction with the ground, thereby improving safety.

[0012] 2. This utility model incorporates a spring, which possesses excellent elastic properties. When the clamping block performs a clamping operation, the spring generates corresponding elastic force through elastic deformation. This elastic force effectively pushes the clamping block inward, thereby enabling the clamping block to better hold the welding torch and ensuring that the welding torch will not easily loosen or fall off while clamped. This provides a stable and reliable clamping foundation for subsequent welding cable storage. Attached Figure Description

[0020] In the following description, embodiments of the welding machine cable take-up and unwinding structure of this utility model will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Figures 1-4 This invention illustrates a welding cable retraction structure for a welding machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. It includes a movable base 1, a welding machine host 2 mounted on top of the movable base 1, a gas cylinder 3 located on the left side of the welding machine host 2, the gas cylinder 3 being fixed to the top of the movable base 1 by a chain, the welding machine host 2 and the gas cylinder 3 being connected by a gas pipe, a base bracket 6 fixedly connected to the central axis of the front side of the movable base 1, a drive assembly 8 located on top of the base bracket 6, a turntable 9 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive assembly 8, a rectangular cover 7 fixedly connected to the top of the base bracket 6, the drive assembly 8 being installed inside the rectangular cover 7, the turntable 9 rotating behind the rectangular cover 7, a cable reel 10 fixedly mounted on the central axis of the rear side of the turntable 9, a fixing plate 11 fixedly connected to the top of the rear side of the turntable 9, two symmetrical rotating blocks 12 rotatably connected to the rear side of the fixing plate 11 via a connecting rod, and a clamping block 13 fixedly connected to one end of each rotating block 12. A welding cable 4 is located on the right side of the welding machine host 2, one end of the welding cable 4 being connected to a dedicated... The interface is connected to the output end of the welding machine host 2. The end of the welding cable 4 away from the welding machine host 2 is connected to the welding gun 5. The two clamping blocks 13 are attached to the welding gun 5 on opposite sides. The welding cable 4 is wound around the surface of the reel 10. Side plates 14 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two clamping blocks 13. Rollers are installed at the bottom of the movable base 1 and the base support 6. Uprights 15 are fixedly connected to the central shaft on the rear side of the two side plates 14. Springs 16 are sleeved on the surface of the uprights 15. The two ends of the springs 16 are welded to the fixed plate 11 and the side plates 14 respectively. Through the setting of the springs 16, the springs 16 have good elasticity. When the clamping blocks 13 perform clamping operations, the springs 16 generate corresponding elastic force through elastic deformation. This elastic force can effectively push the clamping blocks 13 inward, so that the clamping blocks 13 can better clamp the welding gun 5, ensuring that the welding gun 5 will not easily loosen or fall off in the clamped state, providing a stable and reliable clamping foundation for the subsequent storage of the welding cable 4.

[0022] Working Principle: When using this invention, the welding torch 5 is first placed between two clamping blocks 13 to store the welding cable 4. At this time, the two rotating blocks 12 rotate on the rotating rod surface behind the fixed plate 11, driving the clamping blocks 13 to clamp the welding torch 5. The spring 16 then functions. Due to its good elasticity, the spring 16 generates corresponding elastic force through elastic deformation when the clamping blocks 13 clamp it. This elastic force effectively pushes the clamping blocks 13 inward, thus better clamping the welding torch 5 and ensuring that the welding torch 5 will not easily loosen or fall off in the clamped state. This provides a stable and reliable clamping foundation for subsequent welding cable storage operations. Next, the drive assembly 8 is activated. The drive assembly 8 drives the turntable 9 to rotate. When the turntable 9 rotates, it drives the wire reel 10, which is fixedly installed on the central shaft at its rear, to rotate synchronously. As the wire reel 10 rotates, the welding wire 4 will gradually wind around the surface of the wire reel 10, thereby organizing and storing the welding wire 4. This allows the welding wire 4 to be neatly and orderly stored when not in use, preventing it from being randomly tangled or lying on the ground and getting tangled with surrounding equipment and tools. At the same time, it can also reduce the damage to the outer sheath of the welding wire 4 caused by long-term friction with the ground, thus extending the service life of the welding wire 4. The rollers installed at the bottom of the movable base 1 make movement more convenient. The rectangular cover 7 on the top of the base bracket 6 protects the drive assembly 8 and prevents external factors from interfering with or damaging the drive assembly 8.

[0023] In summary, the welding cable winding and unwinding structure of this welding machine, by clamping the welding torch 5 between two clamping blocks 13, and then using the cooperation of the rectangular cover 7, turntable 9 and cable reel 10, winds the welding cable 4 around the surface of the cable reel 10 to organize and store the welding cable 4. This allows the welding cable 4 to be neatly and orderly stored when not in use, ultimately extending the service life of the welding cable 4. Furthermore, the movable base with casters can be integrated with the welding equipment for movement, and the cable winding and unwinding process avoids tangled strands and damage to the outer sheath caused by ground friction, thus improving safety.
