Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of thermos cup processing equipment, specifically a welding device for thermos cup production. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of thermos flasks, the circumferential welding between the outer shell and the inner liner is a crucial process that determines the product's airtightness and durability. Traditional welding processes have the following significant drawbacks:

[0003] Low positioning accuracy and insufficient efficiency:

[0004] The method relies on manual placement of the outer shell and inner liner, with the seams manually aligned using mechanical clamps. This approach not only suffers from poor positioning consistency (easily leading to welding misalignment), but also consumes considerable time for clamping, making it difficult to match the pace of automated production lines and thus becoming a bottleneck for capacity improvement.

[0005] Frequent welding oxidation defects:

[0006] Conventional welding lacks effective gas protection measures, allowing oxygen from the air to enter the high-temperature molten pool, causing oxidation of the weld metal and resulting in defects such as porosity and slag inclusions. This not only reduces sealing performance (leading to potential leaks) but also affects the appearance quality, requiring additional rework or scrapping, thus increasing production costs.

[0007] Although the industry has tried to introduce inert gas shielded welding (such as TIG welding), existing equipment is difficult to adapt to the narrow annular weld structure of thermos cups. Fixed gas covers cannot completely seal irregular curved surfaces, resulting in serious leakage of protective gas. Dynamic sealing technology is expensive and difficult to maintain a stable gas environment during high-speed welding.

[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a welding device that integrates high-precision automatic positioning and dynamic inert gas sealing protection to overcome the dual bottlenecks of efficiency and quality. Utility Model Content

[0010] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a welding device for the production of thermos cups, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0011] (II) Technical Solution

[0012] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a welding device for producing thermos cups, characterized in that it includes an operating table, a first electric push rod, and two clamping seats. The operating table has a transmission cavity, and two first driving shafts are rotatably arranged within the transmission cavity. A conveyor belt is fitted onto the outer circumference of the two first driving shafts. The first electric push rod is fixedly disposed in the transmission cavity and at one end of the conveyor belt. A lifting platform is fixedly connected to the first electric push rod, and a first slot is provided on the lifting platform. A first opening is provided on the side wall of the transmission cavity away from the first electric push rod. The two clamping seats are slidably disposed on both sides of the first opening, and a driving assembly is fixedly connected to each clamping seat.

[0013] Preferably, a third slot is formed on the inner circular surface of the clamping seat, and a second slot is formed on both sides of the third slot. A sealing ring is embedded in the second slot, and a first inflation pipe is fixedly connected to the sealing ring. A welding end is slidably connected in the third slot, and a traveling component is fixedly connected to the welding end. A second inflation pipe is also provided on the clamping seat, and the second inflation pipe is used to fill the clamping seat with inert gas.

[0014] Preferably, the driving assembly includes a driving base and a second electric push rod. The driving base is fixedly connected to the operating table. One end of the second electric push rod is fixedly connected to the driving base, and the other end of the second electric push rod is fixedly connected to the outer circular surface of the clamping seat.

[0017] Preferably, both the first inflation pipe and the second inflation pipe pass through the clamping seat, and the second inflation pipe is disposed between the two sealing rings.

[0018] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0019] This utility model provides a welding device for the production of thermos cups. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. Inert gas is injected into the high-temperature resistant sealing ring through the first inflation pipe via an inflation device, causing it to expand and thus tightly fix the cup liner and the cup shell and seal the joint area. At the same time, inert gas is injected into the sealing space between the two sealing rings through the second inflation pipe, so that the welding area is completely surrounded by an inert gas environment, thereby effectively isolating oxygen, preventing metal oxidation during the welding process, and significantly improving the weld quality and airtightness.

[0021] 2. The cup shell is transported to the first slot of the lifting platform by the conveyor belt. The first electric push rod pushes the lifting platform to accurately push the cup shell into the third slot of the clamping seat. At the same time, the second electric push rod drives the clamping seat to clamp and fix the cup shell and the cup liner, so that the welded joint of the outer shell and the inner liner of the thermos cup can be automatically and accurately aligned and fixed at the welding station, thereby achieving the purpose of efficient and automated clamping and positioning.

Two clamping seats 20 are slidably arranged on both sides of the first opening 18. A drive assembly is fixedly connected to the clamping seats 20. Both the first drive shafts 13 and the first electric push rod 15 are connected to a drive power supply.

[0029] A third slot 24 is provided on the inner circular surface of the clamping seat 20. A second slot 21 is provided on both sides of the third slot 24. A sealing ring 22 is embedded in the second slot 21. A first inflation pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the sealing ring 22. A welding end 25 is slidably connected in the third slot 24. A traveling component 26 is fixedly connected to the welding end 25. The traveling component 26 has a built-in driving power supply. A second inflation pipe 27 is also provided on the clamping seat 20. The second inflation pipe 27 is used to fill the clamping seat 20 with inert gas.

[0030] It is worth noting that the sealing ring 22 is made of high-temperature resistant elastic material, and the radius of the sealing ring 22 can be increased by filling inert gas through the first inflation pipe 23. The traveling component 26 is existing technology.

[0031] The drive assembly includes a drive base 30 and a second electric push rod 31. The drive base 30 is fixedly connected to the operating table 11. The second electric push rod 31 is externally connected to a drive power source. One end of the second electric push rod 31 is fixedly connected to the drive base 30, and the other end of the second electric push rod 31 is fixedly connected to the outer circular surface of the clamping seat 20. An inflation device 28 is slidably sleeved on the second electric push rod 31. The inflation device 28 is existing technology. The inflation device 28 is fixedly connected to a first inflation pipe 23 and a second inflation pipe 27. Both the first inflation pipe 23 and the second inflation pipe 27 pass through the clamping seat 20. The second inflation pipe 27 is located between two sealing rings 22.

[0033] When this solution is used for welding in the production of thermos cups, firstly, the thermos cup shell is placed on the conveyor belt 14, the first drive shaft 13 is started, the first drive shaft 13 drives the conveyor belt 14 to rotate, the conveyor belt 14 transports the thermos cup shell to the first slot 17, the first electric push rod 15 is started, the first electric push rod 15 pushes the lifting platform 16 to move towards the first opening 18, the paper lifting platform 16 pushes the part of the thermos cup shell to be welded in the first slot 17 to the third slot 24.

[0034] Then, the second electric push rod 31 pushes the clamping seat 20 to contact the outer shell of the thermos cup, places the inner liner of the thermos cup in the clamping seat 20, aligns the seam between the inner liner of the thermos cup and the outer shell of the thermos cup with the third slot 24, and causes the inflation device 28 to fill the first inflation pipe 23 and the second inflation pipe 27 with inert gas respectively.
