The safety door 11 can be installed by a hinge, or a screw rod can be vertically arranged on the guardrail 10, and the screw rod is connected to the connecting piece on the safety door 11. The screw rod rotates under the drive of the motor so that the safety door 11 can move up and down. At the same time, detection units such as photoelectric sensors can be arranged on both sides of the operating area of ​​the guardrail 10. When the safety door 11 does not close the operating area, the light receiver of the photoelectric sensor receives the signal of the light emitter, and the signal is sent to the control system. After the control system analyzes the signal of the photoelectric sensor, the control welding gun cannot work normally. Only when the safety door 11 is closed can the welding gun be used to ensure safety.

[0027] A clamping mechanism is provided on the processing table 2, and a welding gun 3 is provided above the clamping mechanism. The welding gun 3 is installed on the displacement mechanism. Under the drive of the displacement mechanism, the welding gun 3 can move up and down; the clamping mechanism includes a bracket 4, a support 5 is provided on the bracket 4, and a fixed seat 6 and a sliding seat 7 are provided on the support 5. The fixed seat 6 and the sliding seat 7 are arranged on the side of the safety door 11, that is, the fixed seat 6 and the sliding seat 7 are arranged on the front of the support 5, and the sliding seat 7 is arranged on both sides of the fixed seat 6. The sliding seat 7 and the fixed seat 6 are distributed in a plane triangle, and a slide rail 23 is provided on the support 5. The slide rail 23 is arranged along the connecting line between the fixed seat 6 and the sliding seat 7. In this embodiment, the two sliding seats 7 move independently.

In the present embodiment, the sliding seat 7 and the fixed seat 6 are both provided with a drive motor 9, and the rotation axis of the transmission wheel 8 is perpendicular to the upper end surface of the support 5.

[0029] The bracket 4 is provided with a swing shaft 20 for rotation, the support 5 is provided on the swing shaft 20, and the axis of the swing shaft 20 is in the same direction as the line between the two sliding seats 7. Both ends of the swing shaft 20 are connected to the bearings on the bracket 4, and the swing shaft 20 can be driven by a motor or the like. In this embodiment, one end of the swing shaft 20 extends out of the bracket 4, and a circle of worm gear 21 concentric with the swing shaft 20 extending out of the bracket 4 is provided, and a worm 22 is rotatably provided on the bracket 4, and the worm 22 and the worm wheel 21 are matched as a worm gear, and a handle is provided on the worm 22.

[0030] Specific working process: the operation area is opened, the staff places the workpiece 24 between the fixed seat 6 and the sliding seat 7, then one staff temporarily fixes the workpiece 24, and inserts the edge of the workpiece 24 into the slot of the transmission wheel 8 on the fixed seat 6, and then another staff operates the cylinder to move so that the sliding seat 7 moves toward the workpiece 24, so that the edge of the workpiece 24 is inserted into the slot of the transmission wheel 8 on the sliding seat 7.

[0031] After the workpiece 24 is fixed, the worm 22 is rotated to adjust the angle of the support 5 to ensure that the welding gun is aligned with the welding point of the workpiece 24, and then the drive motor 9 is turned on to drive the transmission wheel 8 to rotate, and the transmission wheel 8 drives the workpiece 24 to rotate, and at the same time the welding gun is lowered to perform welding. During the rotation of the workpiece 24, when the long axis side of the workpiece 24 contacts the transmission wheel 8, the sliding seat 7 is pushed to move toward the far end of the fixed seat 6, and when the short axis side of the workpiece 24 contacts the transmission wheel 8, under the action of the cylinder, the sliding seat 7 moves toward the near end of the fixed seat 6, thereby ensuring that the weld meets the requirements.

[0032] Embodiment 2, as Fig.10 As shown, the other structures and working processes of this embodiment are the same as those of the embodiment 1, but in this embodiment, the two sliding seats 7 move synchronously, and for this purpose, the support 5 is provided with a sliding frame 26 that moves along the adaptable guide rail 27, the adaptable guide rail 27 extends to one side of the fixed seat 6, and the adaptable guide rail 27 is arranged on the back of the support 5.

When the bolts are tightened, the locking seat 19 moves to one side of the vertical rack 18, thereby fixing the vertical rack 18 on the locking seat 19 and the traverse seat 14. The welding gun 3 is installed on the welding gun seat 15, and the welding gun seat 15 is provided with a wire feeding guide tube 16 with an outlet facing the working area of ​​the welding gun 3. The welding wire extends into the wire feeding guide tube 16, and under the action of the wire feeding mechanism, the welding wire extends out from the outlet of the wire feeding guide tube 16.

[0035] Specific working process: After the workpiece 24 is installed, the position of the transverse seat 14 is adjusted so that the welding gun is aligned with the welding position. After the position adjustment of the transverse seat 14 is completed, the welding gun 3 moves to the lowest position it can reach. A touch switch or the like can be installed at the lower end of the transverse beam 13 to detect and control the downward position of the welding gun 3. Then the staff rotates the adjustment gear 17 to further adjust the distance between the welding gun 3 and the workpiece 24 to ensure normal welding.
