[0025] Preferably, handles 29 are installed on both sides of the base 1.

[0026] Preferably, the arc surface 34 is covered with an anti-slip layer, which is a rubber layer, to facilitate clamping.

[0027] In summary, in actual use, the two shaped tubes to be welded are placed between the first clamping block 21 and the second clamping block 23 at both ends of the base 1. The controller 26 starts the moving electric cylinder 10, and the output end of the moving electric cylinder 10 quickly adjusts the position of the fixed plate 25 through the moving block 27, so that the two shaped tubes quickly approach each other. The first electric cylinder 30 and the second electric cylinder 35 are then started, so that the first clamping block 21 and the second clamping block 23 clamp the shaped tubes. Then the turntable 24 is rotated, and the turntable 24 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 25, so that the welding surfaces of the two shaped tubes remain flush, and the through hole 38 and the fixing hole 39 are installed. Bolts are used to fix the position of the irregular tube. The stroke motor 5 is activated, which drives the moving plate 12 via the lead screw 3 to position the welding head 19 horizontally relative to the welding surface. The stroke electric cylinder 18 is activated, which moves the welding head 19 vertically. The welding head 19 slides vertically on one side of the welding seat 191 via a third slider, thus positioning it vertically on the welding surface. Then, the high-frequency motor 14 is activated, melting the brazing filler metal on the welding surface to perform welding. After welding, the high-frequency motor 14 is turned off, stopping high-frequency heating, and the welding head 19 returns to its initial position. Simultaneously with welding, the cleaning electric cylinder 42 is activated, causing the cleaning motor 43 to reach the welded position. The cleaning motor 43 then drives the grinding wheel 44 to grind the welded area, making it smooth.

[0028] Therefore, the device can quickly position the shaped tube between the first clamping block 21 and the second clamping block 23 via the moving electric cylinder 10; the first electric cylinder 30 and the second electric cylinder 35 can accurately position the shaped tube; the turntable 24 and the fixed plate 25 are detachably connected, thereby adjusting the angle of the shaped tube in the horizontal direction, which is convenient for welding between shaped tubes at different angles; the stroke motor 5, through the reducer 6, coupling 4 and lead screw 3, adjusts the horizontal position of the welding head 19; the stroke electric cylinder 18 adjusts the vertical position of the welding head 19, realizing the welding of the shaped tube at different positions on the placement table 8. The cooperation between the cleaning electric cylinder 42 and the cleaning motor 43 determines the position of the grinding wheel; the grinding wheel 44 grinds the weld slag after welding, which is highly efficient.

[0029] Of course, the present invention may have other various embodiments.
