[0082] Referring to Figure 19 As shown, the air pipe support frame 22 comprises a vertical rod 221, a support frame fixed connection plate 222 and an air pipe fixed clamp 223 are arranged on both sides of the vertical rod 221 respectively, the support frame fixed connection plate 222 is connected with the shell support frame 211, and the air pipe fixed clamp 223 can clamp the welding wire gas delivery pipe 112.

[0083] Referring to Figure 20As shown, the track mechanism 3 comprises a track support 31, a permanent magnet block 32 and a driving rack 33. The track support 31 provides horizontal movement space for the welding robot of the embodiment. The permanent magnet block 32 is arranged below the track support 31 and is used to support the track support 31. The permanent magnet block 32 can quickly adsorb and install the track support 31. The driving rack 33 is arranged on the side of the track support 31 along the extension direction of the track support 31. The output end of the walking driving mechanism 5 is matched with the driving rack 33. The driving rack 33 changes the rotating force output by the walking driving mechanism 5 into a force for driving the walking mechanism 4 to move along the track mechanism 3.

[0084] Referring to Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, the walking mechanism 4 comprises a roller fixing frame 41, a first roller assembly 42, a second roller assembly 43, a guide positioning seat 44 and a tension screw 45. The roller fixing frame 41 is connected with the shell 2 and is used to support the shell 2. The shell 2 is arranged on the roller fixing frame 41. The first roller assembly 42 and the second roller assembly 43 are arranged on the roller fixing frame 41. The first roller assembly 42 and the second roller assembly 43 are connected with the track support 31. The first roller assembly 42 and the second roller assembly 43 can be respectively clamped on the two sides of the track support 31. The first roller assembly 42 and the second roller assembly 43 are both "I-shaped" wheel assembly structures and have annular grooves. The track support 31 is clamped in the annular grooves. The guide positioning seat 44 is arranged on the roller fixing frame 41. In this embodiment, the walking driving mechanism 5 is arranged on the roller fixing frame 41. The position of the walking driving mechanism 5 can be limited by the guide positioning seat 44, which facilitates the installation of the walking driving mechanism 5. The tension screw 45 is arranged on the roller fixing frame 41. When the walking driving mechanism 5 is placed on the roller fixing frame 41, the walking driving mechanism 5 is locked and connected by the tension screw 45.

[0085] Specifically, a guard plate 46 is arranged on the outer periphery of the roller fixing frame 41. The guard plate 46 is used to shield the first roller assembly 42 and the second roller assembly 43. When the first roller assembly 42 and the second roller assembly 43 move along the track support 31, the guard plate 46 removes the sundries on the track support 31, preventing the sundries from being clamped into the first roller assembly 42 and the second roller assembly 43 and affecting the rotation of the first roller assembly 42 and the second roller assembly 43.

[0086] Specifically, referring to Figure 23 andFigure 24 As shown in the figure, the first roller assembly 42 and the second roller assembly 43 each include a roller 421, a roller shaft 422 passing through the roller 421, a roller shaft deep groove ball bearing 423 supporting the roller shaft 422, a roller assembly fastening nut 424 and a nylon lock nut 425 for blocking both sides of the roller shaft 422.

[0087] Specifically, the first roller assembly 42 and the second roller assembly 43 are used to position and guide the welding execution mechanism 1, so that the welding execution mechanism 1 can only move linearly along the track, but cannot move laterally or in any uncontrolled state, thereby further ensuring the welding positioning accuracy and the weld forming quality.

[0088] Specifically, in this embodiment, the roller shaft 422 in the first roller assembly 42 is a straight handle roller shaft 4221, and the roller shaft 422 in the second roller assembly 43 is a crank roller shaft 4222. Referring to Figure 25 As shown in the figure, the crank roller shaft 4222 has the "eccentric shaft feature" to adjust the distance between the roller 421 and the track bracket 31, so that the arc surface of the roller 421 can always be closely attached to the attachment surface of the track bracket 311 without any gap, and is fixed by the anti-rotation locking tap 426 at the same time. This avoids the loosening of the roller assembly fastening nut 424 due to external interference, which causes the radial rotation of the crank roller shaft 4222 and eventually leads to the gap between the arc surface of the roller 421 and the attachment surface of the track bracket 31, which cannot be closely attached (this gap will cause the walking mechanism 4 to swing and be unbalanced during operation along the track), thereby affecting the normal welding and weld forming quality of the welding execution mechanism 1.

[0089] Specifically, referring to Figure 26 As shown in the figure, the anti-rotation locking tap 426 includes a cone 4261, a screw column 4262, and an internal hexagonal counterbore 4263 formed on the screw column 4262. Rotating the screw column 4262 can insert the cone 4261 into the crank roller shaft 4222, and the internal hexagonal counterbore 4263 can facilitate the rotation of the screw column 4262.

[0090] Specifically, referring to Figure 27 As shown in the figure, the guide positioning seat 44 includes a positioning seat body 441, a positioning seat fixing step hole 442 is formed on the positioning seat body 441, which is used to fix the positioning seat body 441 on the roller fixing frame 41, and a guide wedge surface groove 443 is also provided on the positioning seat body 441, which is used to position the walking driving mechanism 5 along the guide wedge surface groove 443.

[0092] Referring to Figure 30 As shown in the figure, the lifting mechanism 6 comprises a lifting slide 61, a lifting driving device 62, an executing device connecting block 63 and a sealing plate 64; the lifting slide 61 is arranged on the fixed connecting plate 51 and arranged perpendicularly to the fixed connecting plate 51, so as to limit the direction of the running power provided by the lifting mechanism 6 to be perpendicular to the direction of the running power provided by the walking driving mechanism 5; the lifting driving device 62 is arranged on the lifting slide 61 and drives the executing device connecting block 63 to move on the lifting slide 61; the executing device connecting block 63 is connected with the welding executing mechanism 1; the sealing plate 64 is arranged between the lifting slide 61 and the executing device connecting block 63.

[0093] The lifting slide 61 and the lifting driving device 62 are similar in structure to the slide 132 and the ball screw driving device 131 in the welding swing assembly 13 and will not be described here in detail, as long as the executing device connecting block 63 can be driven by the lifting driving device 62 to move on the lifting slide 61.

[0094] Referring to Figure 31 As shown in the figure, the executing device connecting block 63 comprises a connecting block body 631, on which a plurality of connecting block mounting holes 632 are arranged.

[0095] Referring to Figure 32 As shown in the figure, the sealing plate 64 separates the welding execution mechanism 1 from the lifting mechanism 6, preventing welding slag from entering the lifting mechanism 6 and the walking driving mechanism 5, and affecting the operation of the lifting mechanism 6 and the walking driving mechanism 5.
