Patent number: 6555785Abstract: A welding condition inputting equipment capable of setting the welding conditions such as welding current and welding voltage easily and securely is disclosed. The welding condition inputting equipment comprises an operating section for inputting the welding conditions, a determining section for selecting items, and a display section for displaying selected items. When the welding conditions are input, the operating section outputs the conditions to the determining section. When the conditions are input in the determining section, the determining section selects items relating to welding corresponding to the conditions, and outputs the items to the display section. When the items are input in the display section, the display section displays the items. The operating section specifically includes a dial, a switch, and a push-in dial switch integrally combining a dial rotation detecting part.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2001Date of Patent: April 29, 2003Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Atsuhiro Kawamoto, Akihiko Kitajima, Norikazu Osaki, Kunio Kubo, Koji Hamamoto, Shigeki Yonemori, Yoshiyuki Tabata

Patent number: 5283419Abstract: An arc welding machine includes a transformer a diode for rectification connected to the secondary winding of the transformer, two capacitors connected in series with each other and in parallel with the diode, and the first and second switching elements connected in series with each other and in parallel with the diode. This machine also includes an electrode having one end connected at a location intermediately of the two switching elements and the other end opposed to an object to be welded, first and second drive circuits connected to the first and second switching elements, respectively, an oscillating circuit for determining the width of pulses of the first and second drive circuits, and a timer circuit for inputting to the oscillating circuit signals required to make the oscillating circuit periodically repeat oscillating and stop operations. The object is connected at a location intermediately of the two capacitors. The second drive circuit outputs inverted signals of the first drive circuit.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 1992Date of Patent: February 1, 1994Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Seigo Hagiwara, Hidetoshi Ooyama, Akihiko Kitajima
