The second driving bevel gear 97 is meshed with the second driven bevel gear 96, so that the second driving bevel gear 97 drives the second driven bevel gear 96 to rotate. The second driven bevel gear 96 rotates while the bottom rod 95 rotates. The bottom rod 95 drives the threaded column 94 to rotate. The bottom of the second telescopic plate 93 is provided with a threaded hole 910. The threaded column 94 and the inner wall of the threaded hole 910 provided at its bottom are connected. The two parts are threadedly connected, and the threaded column 94 drives the second telescopic plate 93 to move while rotating. The height of the supporting chassis 10 can be adjusted by adjusting the number of circles and direction of rotation of the turntable 99, so as to realize the focusing of the machine recognition module 4. When the welding gun 2 is performing welding operation on the weld, the welding gun 2 pushes the partition 3 to move. A cleaning connecting rod 71 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the partition 3, and a cleaning block 72 is arranged at the middle end of the bottom of the cleaning connecting rod 71. When the partition 3 moves, it drives the cleaning block 72 to move on the inner wall of the weld. Cleaning brushes 73 are arranged on the outer walls of the cleaning connecting rod 71 and the cleaning block 72. The cleaning block 72 drives the cleaning brush 73 to clean the weld, and the cleaning connecting rod 71 drives the cleaning brush 73 to clean the metal surface.
