Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of support frame technology, and in particular to a welding machine cable storage device. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial welding operations, welding machine cables are critical transmission components connecting the welding machine and the workpiece, and their length needs to be adapted to different operating ranges. However, if the cable is dragged directly on the ground, it is easily damaged by ground friction, people stepping on it, or equipment running over it, which can lead to safety risks such as short circuits and electric shocks. It can also obstruct passage in the work area, increase the time spent on cable management, and affect work safety and efficiency.

[0003] A Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN217799516U discloses a cable cantilever bracket for a CO2 welding machine, which includes a support base, a drive motor, a slide block, a first support rod, a traction screw, a rotating seat, a first support arm, a second support arm, and a cable limiting seat. The support base has a sliding slide block inside, which can be moved by the traction screw. Simultaneously, the vertical height adjustment of the first and second support rods, the 360° directional adjustment of the rotating seat, and the length extension / retraction of the first support arm enable cable suspension and position adjustment.

[0004] However, the existing device requires the support base to be fixed to a specific location such as the ground or workbench. Although the cable suspension point can be finely adjusted by the slide and support arm, it cannot move as a whole with the welding operation position. This means that after the cable is placed, the actual range of movement is limited by the fixed point of the support base and the extension length of the support arm. When facing scenarios such as multi-station switching and large-scale welding, the flexibility is poor and it is difficult to adapt to dynamic operation requirements. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a welding machine cable storage device, which solves the problem of limited movement caused by the fixed support base of the existing device in a specific position.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a welding machine cable storage device, including a support frame and a cantilever rod installed on the support frame. The support frame includes a movable seat, a movable wheel is installed at the bottom of the movable seat, and a support column is fixed above the movable seat. The support column is vertically arranged and has a hinge support at its upper end. One end of the cantilever rod is installed on the hinge support at the upper end of the support column. A support rod is also provided between the cantilever rod and the support column. One end of the support rod is hinged to the body of the cantilever rod, and the other end of the support rod is supported on the side of the support column.

[0007] When using this device, the operator can first push the device, using the casters at the bottom of the movable seat to move the entire device to the required welding position. Then, using the structure where one end of the support rod is hinged to the cantilever rod and the other end is supported on the side of the support column, the cantilever rod is adjusted to a horizontal working state and fixed. The welding machine cable can then be suspended on the cantilever rod to begin work. When switching to another position, the support rod can be released from the cantilever rod, the device position adjusted, and the cantilever rod re-fixed for continued use. Because this device achieves overall mobility through the cooperation of the movable seat and casters, it solves the problem of limited movement caused by the fixed support seat in existing devices. Simultaneously, the hinge between the cantilever rod and the hinged support, along with the support structure of the support rod, ensures the stability of the cable suspension. Therefore, this device can flexibly adapt to dynamic operation scenarios such as multi-position switching and large-scale welding, effectively expanding the practical application range of cable storage devices, improving the convenience and efficiency of welding operations, and avoiding the risk of cable damage due to dragging or trampling, thus ensuring operational safety.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above solution, the movable seat is in the shape of a cross and has four movable wheels, which are respectively installed at the four corners of the movable seat.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, the movable wheel is a swivel wheel.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, the caster wheel is a caster wheel with brakes.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, the support column is vertically arranged on the plane of the movable seat, and two cantilever rods are provided, which are symmetrically installed on both sides of the support column.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, both the support rod and the cantilever rod are made of angle steel.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, the support column is provided with symmetrical locking blocks on both sides, and the end of the support rod away from the connection with the cantilever rod is provided with a slot, which cooperates with the locking block.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, the cantilever rod is hinged to the hinge support at the upper end of the support column by a pin, and a cotter pin is installed after the pin passes through the end of the cantilever rod and the hinge support.

[0015] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, this utility model has at least the following technical effects or advantages: When using this device, the operator can first push the device, using the casters at the bottom of the movable seat to move the entire device to the required welding position. Then, using the structure where one end of the support rod is hinged to the cantilever rod and the other end is supported on the side of the support column, the cantilever rod is adjusted to a horizontal working state and fixed. The welding machine cable can then be suspended on the cantilever rod to begin work. When switching to another position, the support rod can be released from the cantilever rod, the device position adjusted, and the cantilever rod re-fixed for continued use. Because this device achieves overall mobility through the cooperation of the movable seat and casters, it solves the problem of limited movement caused by the fixed support seat in existing devices. Simultaneously, the hinge between the cantilever rod and the hinged support, along with the support structure of the support rod, ensures the stability of the cable suspension. Therefore, this device can flexibly adapt to dynamic operation scenarios such as multi-position switching and large-scale welding, effectively expanding the practical application range of cable storage devices, improving the convenience and efficiency of welding operations, and avoiding the risk of cable damage due to dragging or trampling, thus ensuring operational safety.

Detailed Implementation To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this patent, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0018] This utility model discloses a welding machine cable storage device, which includes a support frame and a cantilever rod 1 installed on the support frame. The support frame includes a movable seat 2, a movable wheel 3 is installed at the bottom of the movable seat 2, and a support column 4 is fixed above the movable seat 2. The support column 4 is vertically arranged and has a hinge support 5 at its upper end. One end of the cantilever rod 1 is installed on the hinge support 5 at the upper end of the support column 4. A support rod 6 is also provided between the cantilever rod 1 and the support column 4. One end of the support rod 6 is hinged to the body of the cantilever rod 1, and the other end of the support rod 6 is supported on the side of the support column 4.

[0019] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the movable base 2 serves as the supporting foundation of the entire device, forming a stable frame structure that provides solid support for the components above. The movable wheels 3 are welded to the bottom of the movable base 2. The support column 4 is vertically welded to the center of the upper surface of the movable base 2. The hinge support 5 is welded to the top of the support column 4, and has a through hole inside for connecting to the cantilever rod 1 with a matching pin 8. One end of the cantilever rod 1 has a hole corresponding to the through hole of the hinge support 5, and is hinged via the pin 8, allowing it to rotate around the hinge support 5. One end of the support rod 6 connects to a pre-set hinge point on the cantilever rod 1, and the other end engages with a locking block 7 on the side of the support column 4 via a slot 601, providing support for the cantilever rod 1 and preventing it from sagging.

[0020] In actual use, first push the device to the required welding position and secure it using the brake function of the moving wheel 3. Then rotate the cantilever rod 1 to a horizontal angle around the hinge support 5, and then rotate the support rod 6 so that the slot 601 at one end engages with the corresponding locking block 7 on the side of the support column 4, thus completing the support and fixation of the cantilever rod 1. Next, suspend the welding machine cable orderly on the cantilever rod 1, and welding operations can begin. When it is necessary to switch work positions, release the brake of the moving wheel 3, push the device to the new position and re-secure it, and adjust the positions of the cantilever rod 1 and support rod 6 to adapt to the new operational requirements. After the operation is completed, the support rod 6 can be rotated to disengage from the locking block 7, and the cantilever rod 1 can be rotated to a position close to the support column 4 to reduce the space occupied by the device and facilitate storage.

[0021] In the above structure, by setting the movable wheels 3 at the bottom of the movable seat 2, the problem that the existing device cannot be moved as a whole is solved, allowing the device to be flexibly adjusted according to the welding operation position, adapting to dynamic operation scenarios such as multi-station switching and large-area welding, and improving the flexibility of use. The support structure of the cantilever rod 1 and the support column 4 hinged to the support rod 6 can not only ensure the stability of the cantilever rod 1 during use, but also fold and store it when not in use, reducing space occupation.

[0022] In this embodiment, as Figure 3As shown, the "+"-shaped movable base 2 is made of welded metal profiles, with its four ends evenly distributed to form a stable support structure. Compared with traditional square or round movable bases, it reduces material usage and overall weight while ensuring support stability. Four movable wheels 3 are respectively bolted to the four corners of the "+"-shaped movable base 2. Each movable wheel 3 is perpendicular to the movable base 2 and firmly connected, ensuring balanced force distribution during movement and preventing tilting.

[0023] In the above structure, the "+" shaped movable base 2, combined with the movable wheels 3 installed at the four corners, further enhances the stability and mobility of the device. The "+" shaped structure makes the center of gravity of the device more evenly distributed, so it can remain stable and not easily tip over even when suspending heavy cables; the four movable wheels 3 are located at the four corners, which increases the support span of the device, making it more stable when moving, and at the same time, it can move in multiple directions, making it easy to adjust the position in narrow working spaces.

[0024] In this embodiment, the movable wheel 3 adopts a standard swivel wheel structure, and its wheel body is made of wear-resistant rubber material, which can adapt to different ground surfaces such as cement and floor tiles in the workshop, reducing noise and ground wear during movement. The swivel wheel's steering mechanism is flexible and can achieve 360° rotation, ensuring that the device can easily change the direction of movement. The movable wheel can also be a swivel wheel with a brake. The brake structure of the swivel wheel with a brake adopts a foot pedal design. The brake pedal is located on the side of the swivel wheel. The operator can brake and fix the wheel by stepping on it, and release the pedal to release the brake, making operation convenient.

[0025] In the above structure, the omnidirectional wheels allow the device to move freely in any direction, enabling it to move flexibly between equipment on the work site and further improving mobility. The omnidirectional wheels with brakes can quickly fix the device in place after it reaches the designated position, preventing accidental movement of the device during operation, ensuring the stability of the cantilever rod 1 and the cable, avoiding cable pulling or falling off due to device movement, ensuring smooth welding operations, and improving work safety.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the support column 4 is vertically connected to the center of the upper surface of the movable seat 2 by welding, which ensures that the support column 4 is not prone to tilting under force. The two cantilever rods 1 have the same structure, both of which are metal rods. One end of each rod is hinged to the hinge support 5 at the upper end of the support column 4 by a pin 8. They are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the support column 4, and the two cantilever rods 1 are on the same horizontal plane when they are unfolded.

[0027] In the above structure, the two symmetrically arranged cantilever rods 1 increase the cable storage space, allowing multiple welding machine cables to be suspended simultaneously or a single long cable to be suspended in sections, preventing cables from tangling and facilitating cable organization and retrieval. The symmetrical structure ensures that the support column 4 is subjected to balanced forces on both sides, preventing the device's center of gravity from shifting due to excessive weight from suspending cables on one side, further improving the overall stability of the device and extending its service life.

[0028] In this embodiment, both the support rod 6 and the cantilever rod 1 are made of standard angle steel. By using angle steel as the support rod 6 and the cantilever rod 1, the right-angle structure and high bending strength of the angle steel can ensure that the components are not easily deformed when bearing the weight of the cable, thus ensuring structural stability. Moreover, angle steel is a common and low-cost material, which is easy to process, manufacture, repair, and replace. At the same time, its flat surface facilitates cable suspension.

[0029] More specifically, the support column 4 is symmetrically provided with locking blocks 7 on both sides, and the support rod 6 is provided with a slot 601 at the end away from the connection with the cantilever rod 1, the slot 601 cooperating with the locking blocks 7. Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, the locking block 7 is a metal cube or cylindrical structure, symmetrically fixed to both sides of the support column 4 by welding. Multiple locking blocks 7 are spaced apart along the height direction of the support column 4 on the same side, and the appropriate locking block 7 can be selected to match the required unfolding angle of the cantilever rod 1. A slot 601 is opened at the end of the support rod 6 away from the cantilever rod 1. The width and depth of the slot 601 are adapted to the size of the locking block 7 to ensure that the slot 601 can be tightly locked onto the locking block 7 and is not easy to fall off. The edges of the slot 601 are rounded to reduce wear when mating with the locking block 7.

[0030] In the above structure, the engaging mechanism between the locking block 7 and the slot 601 allows the support position of the support rod 6 to be flexibly adjusted according to the unfolding angle of the cantilever pole 1, adapting to different cable suspension requirements and improving the versatility of the device. The snap-fit ​​structure is simple to operate, requiring no additional tools to fix and disassemble the support rod 6, facilitating quick adjustments to the cantilever pole 1 by operators and improving work efficiency. Simultaneously, the tight snap-fit ​​ensures that the support rod 6 does not loosen during support, guaranteeing the stability of the cantilever pole 1 and preventing safety accidents caused by the support rod 6 falling off.

[0031] Furthermore, the cantilever rod 1 is hinged to the hinge support 5 at the upper end of the support column 4 via a pin 8. The pin 8 passes through the end of the cantilever rod 1 and the hinge support 5, and a cotter pin is installed thereon. In this structure, the hinged pin 8, combined with the cotter pin for locking, ensures a reliable connection between the cantilever rod 1 and the hinge support 5, while also allowing the cantilever rod 1 to rotate freely. The cotter pin effectively prevents the pin 8 from falling off due to vibration or other reasons during device movement or use, thus preventing the cantilever rod 1 from falling uncontrollably and ensuring operational safety.
