[0002] A lift table is a type of table that has an adjustable height function. Through height adjustment, it can be suitable for people of different ages and different usage needs. Lift tables include electric lift tables and manual lift tables. Electric lift tables use electricity as a power source, and the height of the lift table is adjusted by controlling the mechanical device through the motor. The height of the lift table can also be adjusted by controlling the air pressure rod or hydraulic rod through the compressor. Manual lift tables use a rotating crank or a crank handle to drive the lift.

[0003] Welding is an essential process in the manufacture and production of lifting tables. The welding process can fix the table leg components and form a stable table leg structure. The existing table leg welding method has a low degree of automation and requires workers to cooperate to complete the welding operation. The welding efficiency is low and it is impossible to achieve assembly line continuous welding operations. In addition, when positioning the welding workpiece, the positioning effect is poor, and the workpiece will tilt or lose position during welding, resulting in poor quality of the welded product.

[0076] (3) Pushing and welding alignment of the bottom plate 9: The bottom plate 9 is pushed from the second feeder 6 to the rotary positioner 3. After being pushed into place, the table legs 8 are aligned with the bottom plate 9;

[0077] Before the bottom plate 9 is pushed to the rotary positioner 3, the material is first unloaded into the pusher 7. The pusher 7 includes a mounting seat 75 and a material unloading receiving member 71, a pushing cylinder 72 and a rotating motor group 73 installed on the mounting seat 75. The material unloading receiving member 71 is provided with a receiving groove 711, and the receiving groove 711 matches the bottom plate 9. The piston rod of the pushing cylinder 72 passes through the mounting seat 75 and the material unloading receiving member 71, and an electromagnet assembly 721 is connected at its end. The bottom plate 9 includes an iron component, and the electromagnet assembly 721 can adsorb the bottom plate 9, so as to push the bottom plate 9 to the rotary positioner 3; the rotating motor group 73 is connected to the pushing cylinder 72, and is used to drive the pushing cylinder 72 and the bottom plate 9 to rotate;

[0078] The pushing process of the pusher 7: the bottom plate 9 is unloaded to the unloading receiving part 71, and the pushing cylinder 72 is started to drive the bottom plate 9 to be pushed forward to the rotary positioner 3, and the welding position of the bottom plate 9 and the table leg 8 is relatively aligned; the pushing cylinder 72 can be reset after the welding operation is completed; after the next bottom plate 9 is unloaded, the above process is repeated to push it to the rotary positioner 3; the rotating motor group 73 drives the bottom plate 9 to rotate to cooperate with the rotary welding operation in step (4).

[0079] The pusher 7 is used to push the bottom plate 9 sequentially and continuously to the rotary positioner 3 and the table leg 8 for docking and positioning. The power of the push is a push cylinder 72, and the push force is direct and the push is smooth.

The movable baffle 741 assembly is used to block the opening of the material chute. After the bottom plate 9 is unloaded, the opening is blocked by it to prevent the bottom plate 9 from falling. When pushing, the opening can be opened again, so that the bottom plate 9 can be pushed out smoothly, thereby improving the stability of unloading and pushing of the bottom plate 9.

[0081] (4) Rotary welding: Use a welding gun to weld the table legs 8 and the base plate 9. The welding is divided into four stages:

[0082] a. First stage: welding the table leg 8 and the first surface of the bottom plate 9 in advance with a welding gun, and rotating 90° after welding;
