Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of welding construction management technology, specifically, it relates to an intelligent terminal for automatic counting and dispensing of welding electrodes. Background Technology

[0002] In welding construction management, the quality of welding material storage and the management of its receipt and issuance directly affect the stability of welding processes and project quality. In particular, welding rods need to be stored at specific temperatures to prevent moisture and deterioration, and accurate counting is required during issuance to achieve material traceability and cost control. Currently, welding material management relies heavily on manual labor, with managers manually storing welding rods in insulation equipment and recording information, and manually counting and registering them during issuance. This model is the foundation for the standardized use of welding materials and is a necessary part of welding construction.

[0003] However, during use, it was found that manually controlled insulation equipment is prone to temperature differences, making it difficult to maintain a constant temperature of 70-150℃ for a long time, and it is also impossible to maintain the temperature continuously for 24 hours, which can easily lead to the degradation of welding rod performance. At the same time, manual counting is prone to omissions and errors due to fatigue, and manual recording of requisition information is subject to lag and tampering risks, which is not conducive to traceability and digital management.

[0004] In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems of temperature fluctuations in manually controlled insulation equipment, difficulty in maintaining a constant temperature of 70-150℃ for extended periods, and inability to provide continuous 24-hour insulation, which can lead to electrode performance degradation, as well as the issues of fatigue-induced omissions and errors in manual counting, and the risks of delays and tampering with manual recording of usage information, hindering traceability and digital management, the basic concept of this utility model is as follows: An intelligent terminal for automatically counting and dispensing welding rods includes a main body, a hopper, and rollers. A side plate is installed on the side wall of the main body, and a base plate is connected to the bottom of the hopper. The hopper is rotatably mounted between the main body and the side plate via the base plate. The rollers are rotatably positioned between the main body and the side plate and next to the hopper. A groove is formed on the edge of the rollers along their length. A discharge hopper is installed next to the rollers. A cam assembly for driving the vibration of the hopper is also installed on the main body. A counting sensor is installed on the side wall of the main body.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a rotating shaft is rotatably mounted between the body and the side plate, and an ear piece is connected to the bottom of the base plate. The base plate is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft through the ear piece. The cam assembly includes a camshaft, a cam, a push rod, and a roller. The camshaft is rotatably mounted between the body and the side plate and located below the base plate. The cam is assembled on the camshaft. One end of the push rod is connected to the bottom surface of the base plate, and the other end is rotatably mounted with a roller through a pin. The outer peripheral surface of the roller is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the cam.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a rotating shaft is rotatably provided between the main body and the side plate. The rotating shaft is arranged parallel to the cam shaft. The roller is mounted on the rotating shaft. The groove is fishhook shaped and evenly distributed along the edge of the roller.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the top of the silo is hinged with a cover plate, the silo is provided with a heat insulation layer around its perimeter, and heating plates are embedded inside the bottom plate and the cover plate.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the counting sensor is a through-beam photoelectric sensor, and the detection optical path of the counting sensor is aligned with the discharge path of the groove on the roller.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a mounting base is installed on the top of the main body, the discharge bin is rotatably connected to the mounting base via a pin, and the inlet of the discharge bin is directly opposite the discharge end of the roller. A handle is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the discharge bin.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: This invention maintains a constant temperature environment by combining the insulation layer around the hopper with the heating plate, and supports continuous heat preservation to prevent the welding rods from degrading due to temperature fluctuations. The welding rods are fed one by one by the roller grooves, and the counting is done by a photoelectric sensor to replace manual counting, eliminating the problems of missed or incorrect counting. At the same time, the counting data is synchronized to the controller in real time to realize the digital recording of welding material dispensing information, which is convenient for subsequent traceability and statistics.

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.

[0016] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an automatic counting and dispensing intelligent terminal for welding rods includes a body 1, a hopper 2, and a roller 14. A side plate 100 is installed on the side wall of the body 1. A bottom plate 3 is connected to the bottom of the hopper 2. The hopper 2 is rotatably installed between the body 1 and the side plate 100 via the bottom plate 3. The roller 14 is rotatably disposed between the body 1 and the side plate 100 and is located next to the hopper 2. A groove 15 is formed on the edge of the roller 14 along its length direction. A discharge hopper 18 is installed next to the roller 14. A cam assembly for driving the vibration of the hopper 2 is also installed on the body 1. A counting sensor 16 is installed on the side wall of the body 1. In this setup, the main body 1 and the side plate 100 constitute the supporting base of the equipment. The hopper 2 is rotatably connected to the supporting base through the bottom plate 3, which facilitates vibration discharge under the drive of the cam assembly. The roller 14 receives the welding rods sent out by the hopper 2 through the groove 15 on the edge and conveys them one by one. The discharge hopper 18 is used to receive the welding rods conveyed by the roller 14. The counting sensor 16 counts the number of welding rods during the conveying process. Together, they build the basic functional framework for welding rod storage, conveying, counting and receiving.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in a specific embodiment, a rotating shaft 8 is rotatably mounted between the main body 1 and the side plate 100. A lug 7 is connected to the bottom of the base plate 3. The base plate 3 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 8 through the lug 7. The cam assembly includes a camshaft 9, a cam 10, a push rod 11, and a roller 12. The camshaft 9 is rotatably mounted between the main body 1 and the side plate 100 and is located below the base plate 3. The cam 10 is mounted on the camshaft 9. One end of the push rod 11 is connected to the bottom surface of the base plate 3, and the other end is rotatably mounted with a roller 12 through a pin. The outer peripheral surface of the roller 12 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the cam 10. In this configuration, the rotating shaft 8 and the ear plate 7 cooperate to provide a rotation fulcrum for the base plate 3, so that the base plate 3 can drive the hopper 2 to rotate stably. When the cam shaft 9 drives the cam 10 to rotate, the cam 10 pushes the push rod 11 to move up and down through the contact transmission with the roller 12, thereby driving the base plate 3 to swing up and down around the rotating shaft 8, realizing the vibration of the hopper 2, avoiding the welding rod from getting stuck in the hopper 2, and ensuring stable material supply to the roller 14.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a rotating shaft 13 is further rotatably connected between the main body 1 and the side plate 100. The rotating shaft 13 is parallel to the cam shaft 9. The roller 14 is mounted on the rotating shaft 13, and the grooves 15 are fishhook-shaped and evenly distributed along the edge of the roller 14. In this configuration, the rotating shaft 13 provides rotational driving force support for the roller 14. The fishhook-shaped grooves 15 can limit the welding rod, preventing it from falling off during the rotation of the roller 14. The evenly spaced distribution ensures the orderly feeding of each welding rod, guaranteeing the accuracy of the subsequent counting process.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the top of the silo 2 is hinged with a cover plate 4, and the silo 2 is surrounded by insulation layers 5. Heating plates 6 are embedded inside both the bottom plate 3 and the cover plate 4. In this configuration, the cover plate 4 is hinged to open and close, facilitating the addition of welding rods into the silo 2. The heating plates 6 can heat the welding rods inside the silo 2 from the top and bottom sides. Together with the insulation layers 5 around the silo 2, they effectively block the exchange of heat between the inside and outside, maintaining a constant temperature environment of 70-150℃ inside the silo 2, ensuring the quality of welding rod storage, and meeting the requirement of 24-hour uninterrupted insulation.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the counting sensor 16 is further configured as a through-beam photoelectric sensor, with its detection optical path aligned with the discharge path of the groove 15 on the roller 14. This design, where the detection optical path of the counting sensor 16 is aligned with the discharge path of the groove 15, ensures that each welding rod discharged from the groove 15 accurately blocks the optical path, triggering a counting signal and preventing missed or incorrect counts. This allows for accurate counting of the number of welding rods dispensed, providing reliable data support for the digital management of welding materials.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, furthermore, a mounting base 17 is installed on the top of the main body 1, and the discharge bin 18 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 17 via a pin. The inlet of the discharge bin 18 is directly opposite the outlet of the roller 14, and a handle 19 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the discharge bin 18. In this configuration, the discharge bin 18 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 17 via a pin. With the help of the handle 19, the operator can easily rotate the discharge bin 18 to pour out the welding rods held inside. The layout of the inlet of the discharge bin 18 being directly opposite the outlet of the roller 14 ensures that the welding rods conveyed by the roller 14 can accurately fall into the discharge bin 18.

[0022] The implementation principle of an automatic welding rod counting and dispensing intelligent terminal in this embodiment is as follows: When using the automatic welding rod counting and dispensing intelligent terminal, firstly, the cover plate 4 hinged to the top of the hopper 2 is manually opened, and the welding rod to be dispensed is loaded into the hopper 2. Then, the cover plate 4 is closed. At this time, the heating plate 6 embedded in the bottom plate 3 and the cover plate 4 is activated. Together with the heat insulation layer 5 set around the hopper 2, the welding rod in the hopper 2 is heated and kept warm to ensure that the temperature in the hopper 2 is maintained within the required range, thus preparing for subsequent dispensing. When a welder needs to collect welding rods, after passing the equipment's identity verification process, the controller triggers the distribution process. First, the relevant drive structure of the cam assembly is activated, causing the camshaft 9, which is rotatably mounted between the main body 1 and the side plate 100, to start rotating. The cam 10 mounted on the camshaft 9 rotates synchronously with the camshaft 9. Since the outer peripheral surface of the cam 10 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the roller 12, which is rotatably mounted at the end of the push rod 11 via a pin, the rotation of the cam 10 will push the push rod 11 to move up and down. One end of the push rod 11 is connected to the bottom surface of the base plate 3, and the base plate 3 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 8 between the main body 1 and the side plate 100 via the lug 7 connected to the bottom. Therefore, the up and down movement of the push rod 11 causes the base plate 3 and the hopper 2 fixed on the base plate 3 to vibrate up and down around the rotating shaft 8, preventing the welding rod in the hopper 2 from getting stuck and ensuring that the welding rod can move smoothly towards the roller 14.

[0023] Simultaneously, the rotating shaft 13, which passes between the main body 1 and the side plate 100 and is parallel to the camshaft 9, begins to rotate. The roller 14 mounted on the rotating shaft 13 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 13. The welding rod in the hopper 2 moves to the roller 14 under the action of vibration and enters the fishhook-shaped grooves 15 evenly spaced along the length of the edge of the roller 14 under the action of gravity. As the roller 14 continues to rotate, the grooves 15 drive the welding rod to move in the discharge direction. When the welding rod rotates with the grooves 15 to the counting sensor 16 installed on the side wall of the main body 1, since the counting sensor 16 is a through-beam photoelectric sensor and its detection light path is directly opposite the discharge path of the grooves 15 on the roller 14, the welding rod will block the light of the counting sensor 16, triggering a counting signal and realizing accurate counting of each welding rod.

[0024] After the counting is completed, the welding rods continue to rotate with the roller 14, eventually disengaging from the groove 15 and entering the discharge bin 18 located next to the roller 14. The discharge bin 18 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 17 installed on the top of the main body 1 via a pin. When a certain number of welding rods are collected in the discharge bin 18 or after the welder completes the retrieval operation, the welder can hold the handle 19 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the discharge bin 18 and push the discharge bin 18 to rotate around the pin on the mounting base 17, pouring out the welding rods in the discharge bin 18, thus completing the entire automatic counting and dispensing process of welding rods.
