Description

Double bottom holder welding gun {WELDING GUN HAVING PLURAL HOLDER}

The present invention relates to a double lower holder welding gun, and more particularly, by having a lower holder and an auxiliary holder rotatable on the arm of the welding gun, by welding using one welding gun regardless of the thickness of the part to be welded. The present invention relates to a double lower holder welding gun which can reduce the replacement cost of welding equipment.

In general, spot welding is an electric resistance welding method that uses heat of resistance to generate heat between a welding gun and a part to instantly melt a welded part of the part, and then cools and welds the part. In most cases, a spot welding gun is attached to the robot and welded automatically.

The spot welding robot is largely divided into a robot and a welding gun, and the welding gun is composed of welding equipment and a welding gun body. The welding gun body is provided with an arm, a holder, a shank member, and a tip made of a copper alloy and a frame part mounted to the robot, and a tip is coupled to the tip of the shank member. The tip refers to the part that directly contacts the component to generate an electrical spark.

The spot welding robot is classified into various types according to the shape of the arm, and a suitable welding gun is selected and used according to the cross-sectional shape of the component to be welded.

Therefore, the conventional spot welding robot requires a different welding gun according to the thickness of the cross section of the component to be welded, and thus requires additional robots for mounting the respective welding guns, which increases the initial capital investment cost. .

In addition, due to the nature of the manufacturing process there is a case where two or more robots are placed on the welding site where there are not many welding spots, and there is a problem that a loss occurs in terms of facility operation rate due to a decrease in robot working efficiency.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the problems as described above, the object of the present invention is to provide a double lower holder welding gun whose structure is improved to enable the welding of parts of different thickness using one welding gun. have.

The dual lower holder welding gun of the present invention for achieving the above object, the frame is coupled to the robot, the arm is coupled to the frame, the lower holder is located in the lower portion of the component coupled to the arm to be welded; In the welding gun which is coupled to the lower holder and the frame, respectively, the front end is provided with a shank member coupled to the tip member for generating a spark, the lower holder left and right with respect to the central axis of the arm at a predetermined position of the arm It is coupled to the rotatable, the lower arm of the lower holder is characterized in that the auxiliary holder coupled to the left and right rotatable relative to the central axis of the arm is coupled.

In the present invention, the lower holder and the auxiliary holder is fixed by the spring ball plunger is characterized in that the fixed position.

Hereinafter, a dual lower holder welding gun according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, but will be implemented in various forms, and only the present embodiments are intended to complete the disclosure of the present invention and to those skilled in the art to fully understand the scope of the invention. It is provided to inform you.

FIG. 1 is a view schematically illustrating a double lower holder welding gun according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II-II of the double lower holder welding gun of FIG. 1.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the dual lower holder welding gun 100 according to the present invention includes a frame 11 coupled to a robot (not shown) and an arm 17 coupled to the frame 11. ), A lower holder 10 coupled to the arm 17 and positioned below the component to be welded, a shank member 13 coupled to the frame 11, and a tip of the shank member 13. In the welding gun having a tip member 15 coupled to the lower holder 10 is rotatably coupled to the arm 17, the auxiliary holder 20 is rotated below the lower holder 10 Combined as much as possible.

The shank member 13 is coupled to the frame 11, and the tip member 15 is coupled to the tip thereof. The tip member 15 is a welding spark is generated to weld the parts, it is a member that needs to be replaced periodically during the progress of welding.

The lower holder 10 is rotatably coupled to the arm 17, and when it is rotated to a predetermined position, as shown in Figure 2, it is fixed by a spring ball plunger 19. As shown in FIG. 3, the spring ball plunger 19 is inserted into the lower holder 10 and has a through hole 23 formed thereon, and is installed in the housing 25. It is provided with a spring member 27 and the ball plunger 29 is mounted to the front end of the spring member 27 so as to be slidable through the through hole 23 of the housing 25. The ball plunger 29 is selectively inserted into the groove 16 formed in the arm 17 to fix the lower holder 10. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the lower holder 10 is rotated so that the through hole 23 and the groove 16 are located in a straight line so that the ball plunger 29 is inserted into the groove 16 so that the lower holder ( 10), and as shown in FIG. 4, if the through hole 23 and the groove portion 16 are not located in a straight line, the ball plunger 29 is introduced into the housing 25 to the arm 17. The lower holder 10 is not fixed. The first shank member 12 is coupled to the lower holder 10. The first tip member 14 is coupled to the front end of the first shank member 12.

Therefore, welding of the part is performed by the spark generated from the tip member 15 coupled to the shank member 13 and the first tip member 14 coupled to the lower holder 10. The thickness of the parts that can be welded is determined by the distance between the tip member 15 and the first tip member 14, and the part thicker than the distance between the tip member 15 and the first tip member 14. In the welding, the auxiliary holder 20 is coupled to the lower side of the lower holder 10, and the second tip member 21 is installed at the tip thereof, thereby welding the parts by increasing the welding distance.

The auxiliary holder 20 is rotatably coupled to the lower side of the lower holder 10, and after being rotated to a predetermined position to be rotated is fixed by a spring ball plunger 19 as shown in FIG. . The coupling using the spring ball plunger 19 of the auxiliary holder 20 has the same fixing structure as the fixing of the lower holder 10 described above. A second tip member 21 is coupled to the tip of the auxiliary holder 20. The second tip member 21 generates sparks during welding, and welds a part positioned between the tip member 15 and the tip member 15.

Therefore, the double lower holder welding gun 100 of the present invention has a structure capable of welding each component having a different thickness by using the lower holder 10 and the auxiliary holder 20.

The present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications or other embodiments falling within the scope equivalent to the present invention are possible by those skilled in the art. Therefore, the true scope of protection of the present invention should be defined by the following claims.

The double lower holder welding gun according to the present invention as described above has the following effects.
