- the device for preventing tangling of welding wire is mounted on an upper end surface of a welding wire coiling member 20 that is stacked inside a pail pack 40 .
- the welding wire coiling member 20 is spirally coiled in the pail pack 40 while twists are being imparted to the welding wire W during a coiling process.
- Such a welding wire coiling member 20 may be formed in a cylindrical shape in which a hollow region is formed in a central region of the welding wire coiling member 20 .
- the device for preventing tangling of welding wire may include a wire pressing member 11 mounted on an upper end surface of a welding wire coiling member 20 coiled in a pail pack 40 in order to press the welding wire coiling member 20 ; a wire guide member 12 positioned inside the wire pressing member 11 to guide a welding wire W that is being drawn from the welding wire coiling member 20 ; and at least two connection members 13 connecting the wire pressing member 11 and the wire guide member 12 so that the wire pressing member 11 and the wire guide member 12 move independently in relation to each other.
- the wire guide member 12 is installed so that the wire guide member 12 can move independently in relation to the wire pressing member 11 , and therefore only the wire guide member 12 may be in contact with the welding wire W when the welding wire W is drawn through a hollow region of welding wire coiling member 20 . Therefore, the welding wire W may be drawn from the pail pack 40 with significantly reduced drawing resistance.
- Each of the wire pressing member 11 and the wire guide member 12 may be formed in the shape of a ring.
- the wire pressing member 11 presses the upper end surface of the cylindrical wire coiling member 20 with sufficient force since the wire pressing member 11 is formed in the shape of a ring.
- a drawing resistance of the welding wire W drawn from the wire coiling member 20 may be reduced since an inner circumferential surface of the wire guide member 12 is formed in a circular shape, which leads to the easy drawing of the welding wire W.
- an inner circumference of the wire pressing member 11 may be spaced apart from an outer circumference of the wire guide member 12 .
- the wire guide member 12 may be positioned inside the wire pressing member 11 since the inside diameter of the wire pressing member 11 is higher than the outside diameter of the wire guide member 12 .
- connection members 13 that are made of a flexible material may be loosely connected between the wire pressing member 11 and the wire guide member 12 . Therefore, when the welding wire is drawn from the pail pack 40 , the wire guide member 12 moves but the wire pressing member 11 does not move by means of a drawing force of the welding wire W. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the welding wire W of the wire coiling member 20 from bouncing up through its elastic recovery by pressing an upper end surface of the wire coiling member 20 .
- connection member 13 Any flexible material is applicable to the connection member 13 . Since the connection member 13 is formed of an elastic material having elasticity (i.e. flexibility), the wire guide member 12 and the wire pressing member 11 may more easily move independently in relation to each other. An elastic band having a predetermined width may be used as the connection member.
- the shapes of the wire pressing member 11 and the wire guide member 12 , or the shapes or connection position of the connection member 13 may be widely varied.
- the wire pressing member 11 is positioned close to an inner wall of the pail pack 40
- the wire guide member 12 is positioned close to the center of the pail pack 40 . Therefore, since the wire pressing member 11 , the connection member 13 and the wire guide member 12 apply a pressure to the wire coiling member 20 when the welding wire W is not drawn, the welding wire W is prevented from bouncing up from the welding wire coiling member 20 through its elastic recovery.
- the wire pressing member 11 and the wire guide member 12 may be installed so that they can move down as the welding wire W is uncoiled from the upper end surface of the wire coiling member 20 .
- an outer circumference of the wire pressing member 11 is spaced apart at a predetermined distance from an inner circumference of the pail pack 40 . Therefore, even when the wire coiling member 20 is lowered in height as the welding wire W is uncoiled from the wire coiling member 20 , the wire pressing member 11 and the wire guide member 12 continue to press the upper end surface of the wire coiling member 20 .
- FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a wire drawing operation when a welding wire is drawn from a pail pack.
- a region of the wire guide member 12 that is opposite to the welding wire W that is being drawn moves towards the center of the pail pack 40 .
- the opposite region of the wire guide member 12 moves down toward the hollow region of the welding wire coiling member 20 . Therefore, the opposite regions of the wire guide member 12 and the connection member 13 apply a pressure to the welding wire coiling member 20 while covering it.
- a region of the welding wire W that is not drawn is dragged out with another region of the welding wire W that is being drawn, which prevents the both regions of the welding wire W from getting tangled.
- FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a device for preventing tangling of welding wire according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
- the wire guide member 12 may be disposed in a hollow region of the wire coiling member 20 .
- a lower surface of the wire guide member 12 may be disposed in a lower position than the upper end surface of wire coiling member 20 .
- connection member 13 applies a pressure to an upper inner circumferential surface of the wire coiling member 20 .
- This structure functions to press the upper inner circumferential surface of the wire coiling member 20 more strongly, compared to the structure where the wire guide member 12 is disposed in the upper surface of the wire coiling member 20 . Therefore, it is possible to prevent the welding wire W from being uncoiled and tangled in the inner circumferential surface of the wire coiling member 20 .
- FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a device for preventing tangling of welding wire according to still another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
- a lower surface of the wire guide member 12 may be formed with a curved shape. Therefore, a drawing resistance of the welding wire W may be lowered due to the curved lower surface of the wire guide member 12 when the welding wire W is drawn from the pail pack 40 , which leads to the easier drawing of the welding wire W.

Description
- This application claims the priority of Korean Patent Application No. 2007-109071 filed on Oct. 29, 2007, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a device for preventing tangling of welding wire.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- In general, a welding wire stacked in a pail pack has been widely used for continuous welding in order to enhance welding efficiency.
-
FIG. 1 is a partially exploded perspective view illustrating a pail pack in which a conventional device for preventing tangling of welding wire is installed, andFIG. 2 is a partially exploded perspective view illustrating that a welding wire is being drawn from a pail pack in which a conventional device for preventing tangling of welding wire is installed. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , a welding wire W is coiled into acylindrical pail pack 400. The coiled welding wire W is formed into a cylindrical weldingwire coiling member 200 in thepail pack 400. - The welding wire W is continuously drawn through a hollow region of the welding
wire coiling member 200 and supplied to a welding machine. - The welding wire W is spirally coiled in the
pail pack 400 since twists are imparted to the welding wire W during a coiling process. Therefore, the twists of the welding wire W are released into an original state through its elastic recovery when the welding wire W is drawn from thepail pack 400. - Where a welding wire that is coiled with twists is not under the control, the welding wire suddenly recoils through its elastic recovery and gets tangled when the welding wire W is drawn from the
pail pack 400. - The welding wire W that is being drawn is prevented from suddenly bouncing up and getting tangled since a ring-
shaped device 100 for preventing tangling of welding wire is mounted on an upper end of the weldingwire coiling member 200 in order to press the welding wire W. - Because the
device 100 for preventing tangling of welding wire is integrally formed in the shape of a ring, the welding wire W receives a drawing resistance from theentire device 100 for preventing tangling of welding wire when the welding wire W is drawn from apail pack 400. Therefore, it may be impossible to easily and stably draw the welding wire W from thepail pack 400. - Although the welding wire W is drawn without any drawing resistance, the
device 100 for preventing tangling of welding wire is partially uplifted when the welding wire W is drawn out of thepail pack 400. In this case, the drawn welding wire W and its subsequently drawn welding wire W′ may be dragged out and tangled with each other. - Accordingly, this is problematic because it is difficult to stabilize the supply of the welding wire W to a welding machine, and there is a limit in obtaining an excellent shape of weld bead due to the high drawing resistance in drawing a wire.
- The present invention is designed to solve the problems of the prior art, and therefore it is an object of the present invention to provide a device for preventing tangling of welding wire capable of easily drawing a welding wire from a pail pack by reducing a drawing resistance in drawing the welding wire.
- Also, it is another object of the present invention to provide a device for preventing tangling of welding wire capable of preventing a subsequently drawn welding wire from being dragged out and tangled in drawing the welding wire.
- According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a device for preventing tangling of welding wire including a wire pressing member mounted on an upper end surface of a welding wire coiling member stacked in a pail pack; a wire guide member positioned inside the wire pressing member to guide a welding wire W that is being drawn from the welding wire coiling member; and at least two connection members connecting the wire pressing member and the wire guide member so that the wire pressing member and the wire guide member move independently in relation to each other.
- In this case, the wire pressing member or the wire guide member is formed in the shape of a ring.
- Also, an inner circumference of the wire pressing member may be spaced apart from an outer circumference of the wire guide member.
- In addition, a lower surface of the wire guide member may be curved in order to reduce a drawing resistance in drawing the welding wire W.
- Additionally, each of the connection members may be made of an elastic material.
- Also, each of the connection members may be connected to upper surfaces of the wire pressing member and the wire guide member.
- In addition, each of the connection members may be loosely connected to the wire pressing member and the wire guide member.
- Additionally, the wire coiling member may have a hollow central region, and the wire guide member may be disposed in the hollow central region of the wire coiling member.
- Here, the device for preventing tangling of welding wire according to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention may further include at least two ascending guides disposed inside the pail pack along up-and-down directions and movably connected to the wire pressing member.
- Also, the ascending guides may be disposed in a space between an inner surface of the pail pack and an outer surface of the wire coiling member to define the top of the wire coiling member, thus to prevent the welding wire W of the wire coiling member from bouncing up.
- Additionally, the ascending guides may be formed in the shape of a band, and both ends of each of the ascending guides may be anchored to both the upper and lower sides of the pail pack.
- Furthermore, through grooves may be formed in the wire pressing member so that the ascending guides are inserted into the wire pressing member.
- The above and other aspects, features and other advantages of the present invention will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view illustrating that the device for preventing tangling of welding wire as shown inFIG. 10 is installed in a pail pack. - Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
-
FIG. 3 is a partially exploded perspective view illustrating a pail pack in which a device for preventing tangling of welding wire according to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention is installed,FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating the device for preventing tangling of welding wire, andFIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the device for preventing tangling of welding wire. - Referring to
FIGS. 3 to 5 , the device for preventing tangling of welding wire is mounted on an upper end surface of a weldingwire coiling member 20 that is stacked inside apail pack 40. The weldingwire coiling member 20 is spirally coiled in thepail pack 40 while twists are being imparted to the welding wire W during a coiling process. Such a weldingwire coiling member 20 may be formed in a cylindrical shape in which a hollow region is formed in a central region of the weldingwire coiling member 20. - The device for preventing tangling of welding wire may include a
wire pressing member 11 mounted on an upper end surface of a weldingwire coiling member 20 coiled in apail pack 40 in order to press the weldingwire coiling member 20; awire guide member 12 positioned inside thewire pressing member 11 to guide a welding wire W that is being drawn from the weldingwire coiling member 20; and at least twoconnection members 13 connecting thewire pressing member 11 and thewire guide member 12 so that thewire pressing member 11 and thewire guide member 12 move independently in relation to each other. - Therefore, it is possible to prevent a welding wire from being elastically recovered and bouncing up due to the presence of the
wire pressing member 11 and theconnection member 13 positioned on the upper end surface of thewire coiling member 20. Also, thewire guide member 12 is installed so that thewire guide member 12 can move independently in relation to thewire pressing member 11, and therefore only thewire guide member 12 may be in contact with the welding wire W when the welding wire W is drawn through a hollow region of weldingwire coiling member 20. Therefore, the welding wire W may be drawn from thepail pack 40 with significantly reduced drawing resistance. - Each of the
wire pressing member 11 and thewire guide member 12 may be formed in the shape of a ring. Thewire pressing member 11 presses the upper end surface of the cylindricalwire coiling member 20 with sufficient force since thewire pressing member 11 is formed in the shape of a ring. Also, a drawing resistance of the welding wire W drawn from thewire coiling member 20 may be reduced since an inner circumferential surface of thewire guide member 12 is formed in a circular shape, which leads to the easy drawing of the welding wire W. - Also, an inner circumference of the
wire pressing member 11 may be spaced apart from an outer circumference of thewire guide member 12. In this case, thewire guide member 12 may be positioned inside thewire pressing member 11 since the inside diameter of thewire pressing member 11 is higher than the outside diameter of thewire guide member 12. - Additionally,
connection members 13 that are made of a flexible material may be loosely connected between thewire pressing member 11 and thewire guide member 12. Therefore, when the welding wire is drawn from thepail pack 40, thewire guide member 12 moves but thewire pressing member 11 does not move by means of a drawing force of the welding wire W. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the welding wire W of thewire coiling member 20 from bouncing up through its elastic recovery by pressing an upper end surface of thewire coiling member 20. - Any flexible material is applicable to the
connection member 13. Since theconnection member 13 is formed of an elastic material having elasticity (i.e. flexibility), thewire guide member 12 and thewire pressing member 11 may more easily move independently in relation to each other. An elastic band having a predetermined width may be used as the connection member. - The shapes of the
wire pressing member 11 and thewire guide member 12, or the shapes or connection position of theconnection member 13 may be widely varied. - The
wire pressing member 11 is positioned close to an inner wall of thepail pack 40, and thewire guide member 12 is positioned close to the center of thepail pack 40. Therefore, since thewire pressing member 11, theconnection member 13 and thewire guide member 12 apply a pressure to thewire coiling member 20 when the welding wire W is not drawn, the welding wire W is prevented from bouncing up from the weldingwire coiling member 20 through its elastic recovery. - The
wire pressing member 11 and thewire guide member 12 may be installed so that they can move down as the welding wire W is uncoiled from the upper end surface of thewire coiling member 20. In this case, an outer circumference of thewire pressing member 11 is spaced apart at a predetermined distance from an inner circumference of thepail pack 40. Therefore, even when thewire coiling member 20 is lowered in height as the welding wire W is uncoiled from thewire coiling member 20, thewire pressing member 11 and thewire guide member 12 continue to press the upper end surface of thewire coiling member 20. - An operation of the above-mentioned device for preventing tangling of welding wire according to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail.

FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a wire drawing operation when a welding wire is drawn from a pail pack. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , when the welding wire W is drawn from the weldingwire coiling member 20 along a direction of arrow A, a drawing force of the welding wire W is applied in a direction of arrow B to a region of thewire guide member 12 that comes in contact with the welding wire W that is being drawn, as shown inFIG. 6 . - In this case, a drawing resistance between the
wire guide member 12 and the welding wire W that is being drawn is lowered since the region of thewire guide member 12 that comes in contact with the welding wire W that is being drawn is uplifted. - Also, a region of the
wire guide member 12 that is opposite to the welding wire W that is being drawn moves towards the center of thepail pack 40. In this case, the opposite region of thewire guide member 12 moves down toward the hollow region of the weldingwire coiling member 20. Therefore, the opposite regions of thewire guide member 12 and theconnection member 13 apply a pressure to the weldingwire coiling member 20 while covering it. In this case, a region of the welding wire W that is not drawn is dragged out with another region of the welding wire W that is being drawn, which prevents the both regions of the welding wire W from getting tangled. - As described above, it is possible to obtain a smooth shape of weld bead by preventing the tangling of the welding wire and easily drawing the welding wire.
- Next, a device for preventing tangling of welding wire according to still another exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail.

wire guide member 12 is disposed in the hollow region of thewire coiling member 20, theconnection member 13 applies a pressure to an upper inner circumferential surface of thewire coiling member 20. This structure functions to press the upper inner circumferential surface of thewire coiling member 20 more strongly, compared to the structure where thewire guide member 12 is disposed in the upper surface of thewire coiling member 20. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the welding wire W from being uncoiled and tangled in the inner circumferential surface of thewire coiling member 20. -
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a device for preventing tangling of welding wire according to still another exemplary embodiment of the present invention. - Referring to
FIG. 8 , a lower surface of thewire guide member 12 may be formed with a curved shape. Therefore, a drawing resistance of the welding wire W may be lowered due to the curved lower surface of thewire guide member 12 when the welding wire W is drawn from thepail pack 40, which leads to the easier drawing of the welding wire W. - Except for the above-mentioned structure, the device for preventing tangling of welding wire according to still another exemplary embodiment of the present invention is substantially identical to the above-mentioned device for preventing tangling of welding wire, and therefore, its description is omitted for clarity.
- Next, a device for preventing tangling of welding wire according to still another exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail.
