Attached Figure Description

[0016] The above and other features, properties and advantages of this utility model will become more apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, wherein:

[0017] Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the welding wire spool storage device according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0018] Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, one or more examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Each example is provided to explain the present invention and not to limit it. In fact, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations may be made to the present invention without departing from the scope or spirit thereof. For example, features shown or described as part of one embodiment may be used with another embodiment to produce yet another embodiment. Therefore, the present invention is intended to cover these modifications and variations that fall within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0019] The term "axial" refers to the central axis of the wire spool or locating hole, or a direction parallel to the central axis of the wire spool or locating hole. As used herein, the terms "first" and "second" may be used interchangeably to distinguish one component from another and are not intended to indicate the location or importance of individual components.

[0020] Figure 1 The structure of one embodiment of the welding wire spool storage device of this utility model is shown. The welding wire spool storage device is used by welders to temporarily store welding wire spools 10. Figure 1 As shown, the welding wire spool storage device of this utility model includes a frame 100 and a locking mechanism 200. The locking mechanism 200 includes a locking base 210 and a limiting member 220. The locking base 210 is fixed to the frame 100. The limiting member 220 and the locking base 210 are movably connected. The limiting member 220 has a locked position and an unlocked position relative to the locking base 210. When the limiting member 220 is in the locked position, the limiting member 220 and the frame 100 define a preset storage space for accommodating the welding wire spool 10, temporarily placing the welding wire spool 10. When the limiting member 220 is in the unlocked position, the limiting member 220 and the locking base 210 together provide a guide opening, allowing the welding wire spool 10 to detach from or enter the preset storage space, thus realizing the storage or retrieval of the welding wire spool 10. Figure 1 The limiter 220 shown is in the locked position.

[0021] This utility model provides welders with a dedicated device for temporarily storing welding wire spools 10. When the limiting member 220 is in the locked position, the welding wire spool 10 can be locked and retrieved with a key, preventing accidental removal or loss. It also simplifies the storage process, avoids cumbersome procedures, and improves on-site management efficiency. This utility model solves the problem of chaotic temporary storage of welding wire spools 10, ensuring that the welding wire spool 10 can be properly stored when the welder leaves the site, and meeting the storage needs of welders when temporarily leaving the welding site.

[0022] In related technologies, temporary storage sites often fail to meet the storage conditions for welding wire, easily leading to contamination or even failure, thus affecting welding quality. The welding wire spool storage device of this invention has a simple structure and its placement can be changed as needed. Specifically, the welding wire spool storage device can be placed in a suitable environment near the welding site (meeting requirements for temperature, humidity, and non-corrosive media), preventing the welding wire from becoming contaminated or failing due to poor storage conditions, ensuring the stability of welding material performance, and thus guaranteeing welding quality.

[0023] In one embodiment, the locking mechanism 200 further includes a locking member 230. The locking member 230 is disposed on the locking base 210 and connected to the limiting member 220. The locking member 230 controls the displacement of the limiting member 220, thereby switching the limiting member 220 between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking member 230 may be a lock cylinder equipped with a key, such as... Figure 1 As shown. The wire spool 10 is locked when inserted to prevent accidental removal.

[0024] The locking element 230 enables the welding wire spool 10 to be locked upon storage, and can only be retrieved by unlocking with the corresponding key. This effectively avoids the risk of the welding wire spool 10 being mistakenly taken, lost, or misused during storage, improving the safety and reliability of welding material management and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the welding process. The locking element 230 can also be an electronic lock.

[0025] In one embodiment, the frame 100 includes a storage frame 110 and a base plate 120 and a limiting plate 130 fixed to the storage frame 110. The limiting plate 130 is located above and parallel to the base plate 120. Both the limiting plate 130 and the base plate 120 are parallel to the horizontal plane. The limiting plate 130 provides a limiting hole 131 adapted to the welding wire spool 10, which can be inserted into the limiting hole 131 and supported by the base plate 120. The limiting hole 131 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the welding wire spool 10. When the limiting member 220 is in the locked position, the base plate 120, the limiting hole 131 of the limiting plate 130, and the limiting member 220 define a preset storage space, such as... Figure 1 As shown.

[0026] Continue to refer to Figure 1The frame 100 also includes a positioning plate 140, which is fixed to the storage frame 110 and located above the limiting plate 130 and below the locking mechanism 200. The positioning plate 140 provides a positioning groove 141 that is compatible with the welding wire spool 10, which works in conjunction with the limiting hole 131 of the limiting plate 130 to fix the welding wire spool 10, ensuring accurate positioning when inserted to prevent tipping or slipping.

[0027] The limiting plate 130 and the positioning plate 140 can be made of galvanized steel sheets, which are spot-welded to the storage frame 110 respectively. Figure 1 As shown, the limiting hole 131 is a circular hole, and the positioning groove 141 is a semi-circular opening groove.

[0028] The storage frame 110 can be made of angle steel, and multiple angle steels are spot-welded to form the storage frame 110, which is used to support the welding wire spool 10 and other structures. The base plate 120 can be made of galvanized steel plate and is spot-welded to the bottom of the storage frame 110 to prevent the welding wire spool 10 from being pulled out from the bottom.

[0029] In one embodiment, the limiting member 220 includes a first baffle 221 and a second baffle 222. The first baffle 221 is parallel to the base plate 120. The second baffle 222 is fixed to the first baffle 221 and extends towards the base plate 120, i.e., the second baffle 222 is perpendicular to the first baffle 221. When the limiting member 220 is in the locked position, at least a portion of the projections of the first baffle 221 and the limiting hole 131 in the axial direction of the limiting hole 131 overlaps, and the welding wire spool 10 stored in the preset storage space is restricted within the preset storage space in its axial direction (i.e., the height direction) by the first baffle 221. When the limiting member 220 is in the unlocked position, the projections of the first baffle 221 and the limiting hole 131 in the axial direction of the limiting hole 131 do not overlap, forming a guide opening.

[0030] Furthermore, the distance between the first baffle 221 and the base plate 120 is greater than or equal to the height of the welding wire spool 10, and the size of the first baffle 221 is suitable for the size of the welding wire spool 10 cap. The distance between the end of the second baffle 222 relative to the first baffle 221 near the base plate 120 and the base plate 120 is less than the height of the welding wire spool 10, thus preventing the welding wire spool 10 from being removed from the side when the limiting member 220 is in the locked position.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the locking base 210 is cylindrical, and its side surface is recessed axially to form a recess 211. The recess 211 is adapted to the cross-section of the welding wire spool 10, and its inner wall surface is arc-shaped. Figure 1 The limiting member 220 shown is in the locked position, as... Figure 1As shown, when the limiting member 220 is in the locked position, at least a portion of the first baffle 221 is located within the recess 211. When the limiting member 220 is in the unlocked position, the first baffle 221 disengages from the recess 211. The surfaces of the second baffle 222 and the recess 211 opposite each other are curved surfaces to accommodate the shape of the welding wire spool 10.

[0032] In one embodiment, the frame 100 further includes a fixing plate 150, which is fixed to the storage frame 110. The fixing plate 150 has fixing holes 151 for the locking base 210 to pass through, thereby fixing the locking base 210. The fixing plate 150 may be two galvanized steel plates, which are spot-welded to the left and right sides of the upper end of the storage frame 110, respectively, for fixing the locking base 210 to connect it to the storage frame 110.

[0033] The welding wire spool storage device of this utility model can determine the number of welding wire spools 10 stored in one storage device according to actual needs. The number of welding wire spool storage devices and their placement can also be determined based on the number of welding wire spools 10 and the available space.

[0034] The frame 100, limiting holes 131, locking base 210, and base plate 120 of the welding wire spool storage device of this utility model can be determined according to the size of the welding wire spools 10 and the number stored. Optionally, there are multiple limiting members 220, which are spaced apart on the locking base 210. Figure 1 In the middle, the number of limiting parts 220, the number of upper limit holes 131 on the limiting plate 130, and the number of positioning grooves 141 on the positioning plate 140 are all five, so one welding wire spool storage device can store five welding wire spools 10 at the same time.

[0035] In conjunction with the above embodiments, the usage steps of the welding wire spool storage device of this utility model are as follows: If a welder temporarily leaves the welding site before finishing their work for the day, the welder stores the welding wire spool 10 in an empty space within the welding wire spool storage device of this utility model. The welding wire spool 10 is locked upon insertion, and the welder removes the key from the corresponding lock position to securely store the welding wire spool 10. Before returning to the site, the welder uses the key to unlock the locking element 230 corresponding to the welding wire spool 10, removes the welding wire spool 10, and leaves the key on the locking base 210.

[0036] The welding wire spool storage device of this utility model has the following technical effects: by providing a dedicated storage device for welders when they leave the welding site, it ensures that the welding wire spool can be stored in an environment that meets the storage standards, avoiding contamination or failure of the welding wire due to improper temporary storage, thereby ensuring welding quality, reducing welding defects and rework caused by welding material problems, and improving the overall quality of welding projects.

[0037] The pre-set storage space of the welding wire spool is equipped with a locking device 230, which enables the welding wire spool 10 to be locked as soon as it is stored. It can only be taken away by unlocking with the corresponding key, which effectively avoids the risk of the welding wire spool 10 being mistakenly taken, lost or misused during storage, improves the safety and reliability of welding material management, and ensures the safe and stable operation of the welding process.

[0038] This utility model features a simple and compact structure, occupies a small area, and is installed at the entrance and exit of the welding site, facilitating quick storage and retrieval of the welding wire spool by welders. Welders can quickly store and lock the spool when leaving the site and retrieve it upon returning, eliminating the need for extra time to find a storage location or complete cumbersome procedures. This significantly improves welders' work efficiency, reduces downtime caused by storing welding wire, and thus enhances the progress and efficiency of the entire welding project.

[0039] This invention solves the problem of disorganized temporary storage of welding wire spools, making the welding site cleaner, more orderly, and easier to manage and supervise. It avoids the chaos and safety hazards caused by haphazard placement of welding wire spools, thus improving the management level and safety of the welding site.

[0040] By utilizing the storage device of this invention, welding wire spools are properly stored and protected, reducing damage, contamination, or loss of welding wire due to improper storage, lowering the welding material consumption rate, and thus saving production costs for enterprises. Simultaneously, by extending the service life of the welding wire, it indirectly improves the economic benefits of enterprises.

[0041] This invention improves work efficiency and on-site management while ensuring welding quality and safety, demonstrating the company's professionalism and standardization in welding projects. It helps enhance the company's image and market competitiveness, and wins more business opportunities and customer trust.

[0042] This utility model has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and convenient installation. The storage quantity and spatial layout can be flexibly configured according to actual needs. It has strong versatility and adaptability, and is easy to promote and apply in various welding engineering sites, providing a practical and effective welding material management solution for the welding industry.

[0043] In summary, this utility model has significant comprehensive effects in ensuring welding quality, improving work efficiency, optimizing on-site management, reducing losses and costs, and enhancing corporate image and competitiveness. It is of great significance for improving the overall level and efficiency of welding engineering and has good prospects for promotion.
