The clamping mechanism is mounted on the sliding frame 2 and includes a rotating plate 3, a limiting block 4, a first elastic element 5, and a third elastic element 6. The rotating plate 3 and the limiting block 4 are both located below the sliding frame 2. In this embodiment, the first elastic element 5 and the third elastic element 6 are both cylindrical springs. In actual production, the first elastic element 5 and the third elastic element 6 can both be disc springs.

[0028] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the rear end of the rotating plate 3 is hinged to the sliding frame 2, and the bottom of the rear end of the limiting block 4 is hinged to the front end of the rotating plate 3. The bottom of the limiting block 4 has a limiting groove 8 for the fins 7 to pass through. The front end of the rotating plate 3 has a first clearance space 31 for welding gun welding, and the rear end of the limiting block 4 has a second clearance space 42 for welding gun welding. The first clearance space 31, the second clearance space 42, and the limiting groove 8 are connected. The front end of the rotating plate 3 is tilted upwards, and a pair of guide wheels 11 are rotatably connected to the front end of the rotating plate 3.

The third elastic elements 6 make the rotating plate 3 always tend to rotate downward around the sliding frame 2 and press against the end cap 9.
