The invention discloses a welding tool and a welding method of a connecting plate, and belongs to the field of machining. When the connecting plate is welded, an annular cylinder, an annular flange plate and an annular rib plate are generally spot-welded and assembled, then the annular flange plate is placed on the supporting surfaces of two supporting structures, the annular flange plate is pressed by a pressing plate, the plate surface of the annular flange plate is clamped by the pressing plate and the supporting surface of the supporting structure of the welding tool, so that the positionof the annular flange plate is well fixed, the deformation generated in the welding process is small, therefore, the machining allowance reserved on the surface of the annular flange plate can be reduced, the material required for manufacturing the annular flange plate is reduced due to the reduction of the machining allowance, the machining allowance required for machining is also reduced, and the economic cost and the time cost for manufacturing the connecting plate are reduced. According to the two driving structures arranged at an interval in the welding tool, adjusting and overturning theposition of the connecting plate is convenient, so that the welding efficiency of the connecting plate is improved, and the time cost required by manufacturing the connecting plate is further reduced.
