The invention discloses a protective device for an industrial
welding robot. The protective device comprises a
welding head body, a
welding rod, a protective cover, a connecting
pipe, a connecting disc, a reset spring, a
piston rod, an air cylinder, a fixed plate, a guide plate, a first through hole, a second through hole, a guide groove, a
smoke suction box, a limiting plate and a
smoke suction hole. The protective cover can be slidably connected with the welding head body through the guide groove in the lateral side of the connecting disc. During use of the welding head body, the protectivecover can slide along the guide plate when touching a welding piece, the reset spring can enable the protective cover to extend and contract, and the normal use of the welding head body is guaranteed.The
piston rod is driven to move through the air cylinder. Because the limiting plate is clamped in the protective cover, the protective cover can move along with the
piston rod, and a connecting position between the welding head body and the welding rod can be exposed so as to facilitate replacement by workers. Because the
smoke suction box is arranged in the protective cover, smoke generated during welding can be pumped away by externally connecting smoke
suction equipment with the connecting
pipe, and human bodies are prevented from being damaged.
