[0002] Resistance spot welding is a common welding method in welding production lines. In the existing technology, fixed automatic electrode grinders are commonly used for electrode grinding. During the grinding process, the grinder uses compressed air to blow away the copper shavings, ensuring that the copper shavings do not adhere to the grinding head.
[0003] However, copper shavings from electrode grinding are often blown onto the ground by compressed air, making them inconvenient to clean up. The scrap copper shavings are then disposed of as garbage, which is detrimental to the environment.
[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0028] Example 1 See Figures 1-3 This embodiment requires protection of the copper shavings collection mechanism, including a base 1, a base frame, a mounting plate 3, a receiving box 4, a top frame 5, adjusting bolts 6, and an anti-overflow cover 7; There are two bases 1, which are symmetrical L-shaped plates. The bases 1 are provided with mounting holes (not shown in the figure). The bases are fixed to the ground by bolts (not shown in the figure) passing through the mounting holes, which provides support for the entire copper shavings collection mechanism.
[0029] A base frame is placed on the base 1. The base frame is of an integral H-shaped support structure. Two longitudinal beams 2a of the base frame are respectively arranged on the base 1, and the side surface of the longitudinal beam 2a of the base frame abuts against the side surface of the base 1, so as to limit the base frame in the transverse direction and ensure that the base frame can move and adjust along the length direction of the base 1.
[0030] Two mounting plates 3 are symmetrically arranged on the cross beam 2b of the base frame along its length direction. The mounting plates 3 are of L-shaped plate structure. A receiving box 4 is placed on the cross beam 2b of the base frame, and both sides of the receiving box 4 rest on the corresponding mounting plates 3.
[0031] Herein, the longitudinal beams 2a of the base frame refer to the vertical parts of the base frame, and the cross beam 2b of the base frame refers to the horizontal part of the base frame.
[0032] A top frame 5 is slidably arranged on the base frame. The top frame 5 comprises two sleeves 50, side plates 51 and support blocks 52. The two sleeves 50 are respectively in inserting fit with the corresponding longitudinal beams 2a of the base frame. A protruding block 501 protrudes radially from the outer wall of each sleeve 50, a threaded hole penetrates through the protruding block 501, an adjusting bolt 6 is engaged in the threaded hole, and the adjusting bolt 6 is in tightening fit with the longitudinal beam 2a of the base frame.
[0033] In use, by twisting the adjusting bolt 6 to separate the adjusting bolt 6 from the longitudinal beam 2a of the base frame, the height of the top frame 5 can be adjusted by adjusting the overlapping degree between the sleeve 50 and the longitudinal beam 2a of the base frame. Similarly, the manner for adjusting the height of the top frame 5 is not limited to the adjusting bolt 6, and a pin or the like may also be adopted.
[0034] Parallel side plates 51 are arranged on the side surfaces of adjacent sleeves 50. The bottom of each side plate 51 fits against the outer side of the receiving box 4. A set of support blocks 52 are arranged at the tops of the front and rear sides of the side plate 51, and a gap is reserved between the set of support blocks 52. The support blocks 52 are of a "square"-shaped plate structure, and the support blocks 52 are perpendicular to the side plates 51.
[0035] The top of the top frame 5 is covered with an anti-overflow skin 7. The anti-overflow skin 7 is a structure for preventing liquid or gas from overflowing, which belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail. Both ends of the anti-overflow skin 7 hang down along the front and rear sides of the top frame 5, and are connected and fixed to the corresponding support blocks 52 by thumbtacks, so that the top of the anti-overflow skin 7 is tensioned and fits with the side plates 51. At this time, the anti-overflow skin 7, the side plates 51 and the receiving box 4 form an anti-overflow bin.
[0036] A door is arranged in the middle of the front side or the rear side of the anti-overflow skin 7. The door means that the front side or the rear side of the anti-overflow skin 7 is cut from the middle to form a crack 7a that can be separated by external force, as well as an operation hole 7b penetrating through the middle of the top surface of the anti-overflow skin 7 and a channel 7c communicating the operation hole 7b with the crack 7a.
[0037] Second Embodiment This embodiment, based on Embodiment 1, requires a protective electrode grinder, including a grinder body (not shown in the figure) and a copper shavings collection mechanism. The grinder body is positioned directly opposite the copper shavings collection mechanism. The electrode grinder is a specialized tool used to trim the electrode end face of a welding electrode, aiming to remove the oxide layer, worn parts, and impurities from the electrode surface, restoring the flatness and smoothness of the electrode. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail further. The output end of the grinder body enters the anti-overflow chamber through a door.
[0038] The process of using this electrode grinder to collect copper shavings is as follows: S1. The position of the base frame and the height of the top frame 5 are adjusted according to the position of the electrode grinder, as described in detail above and will not be repeated here.
[0039] S2. The output end of the grinder body is connected to the operating hole 7b via the door and the channel 7c. The output end of the grinder body is placed in the anti-overflow chamber. At this time, the anti-overflow skin 7, the side plate 51 and the receiving box 4 form the anti-overflow chamber. The copper shavings generated by the operation of the grinder body fall into the receiving box 4.
[0040] S3. Remove receiver box 4 and recycle the copper scraps.
[0041] The electrode grinder claimed in this embodiment can be adaptively adjusted according to its position and height through the cooperation between the base 1 and the base frame, as well as the function of the adjusting bolt 6, making it highly applicable.
[0042] Secondly, the anti-overflow skin 7, side plate 51 and receiving box 4 form an anti-overflow compartment, which can prevent copper shavings from scattering randomly in the space. This not only facilitates the recycling of copper shavings, but also benefits the health of operators.
[0043] Furthermore, the receiver box 4 itself is detachable and adjustable from the base frame, making it very convenient to remove copper shavings or damage to the receiver box 4. The structure is simple, practical and effective.
[0044] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
