[0097] Working principle: The lock rod welding device of the present application, as shown in the figure, the lock rod of the container door includes a rod body, two first positioning rings, two second positioning rings and two lock heads. During use, the worker only needs to place the rod body in each arc-shaped groove of the storage position, place the handle seat in the first storage box, and place the lock head in the second storage box. Under the action of the rod driving mechanism, the inverted U-shaped frame can descend, so that the rod body is located within the two inverted U-shaped frames, and can drive the rod body to move along the bearing plate under the drive of the moving mechanism. And when the rod body moves from one arc-shaped groove to the next arc-shaped groove, since there is a second pressure sensor at the arc-shaped groove, the position of the rod body can be accurately sensed. When the rod body moves from the storage position to the first working position, there will be a deviation in the position of the rod body in the direction perpendicular to the bearing plate at this time. However, since the first electric telescopic rods corresponding to the two guide rods are in a shortened state at this time, the ends of the two guide rods at the first working position are farther apart (greater than the length of the rod body to ensure that the rod body is located between the two guide rods). Then the two first electric telescopic rods extend, and the two guide rods hold the rod body from both ends, so that the rod body is accurately positioned in the direction perpendicular to the bearing plate. And the upper ring unit can move towards the end plate when the abutting plate is in the raised state until the pressure value of the first pressure sensor reaches the set threshold (indicating that all the first positioning rings at the guide rod are in contact with each other and the first positioning ring at the end abuts the end plate). At this time, the finger cylinder clamps a first positioning ring (the second electric lifting rod descends), and slews it onto the rod body. And due to the limitation of the bearing plate, the first positioning ring is fed to the corresponding position abutting the rod body, and is spot welded by the spot welding unit to fix the first positioning ring to the rod body. Then the first translation seat retracts.

[0098] After that, under the drive of the rod driving mechanism, the rod body moves to the second working position. At this time, due to the limitation between the two first positioning rings and the bearing plate, the distance of the rod body in the direction perpendicular to the bearing plate is accurate. Using the same principle, the second positioning ring is slewed onto the rod body and spot welded and fixed. And at this time, the first storage box descends, and the first clamping block at the first storage box loosens, so that the handle seat at the bottommost end falls to abut the rod body (and there is still a part of the top end of the handle seat at the bottommost end located in the first storage box, so the position of the handle seat is fixed; the first clamping block clamps again, and at this time the first clamping block just clamps the penultimate handle seat), and the handle seat welding unit welds between the handle seat and the rod body. After the welding is completed, the second storage box rises.

[0099] Then, under the drive of the rod driving mechanism, the rod body moves to the third working position. At this time, using the same principle as the first storage box, the second storage box descends, and the second clamping block loosens (after loosening and then clamping, so the next clamping is to clamp the penultimate lock head), and the lock head just falls into the positioning seat. The spot welding unit is used to spot weld and fix the lock head and the end of the rod body. After the spot welding is completed, the positioning seat descends, and the second storage box rises.

[0100] Next, driven by the rod driving mechanism, the rod body moves to the fourth working position. At this time, under the action of the upper lifting mechanism and the lower lifting mechanism, the rod body rises away from the bearing plate, and the abutting wheel unit and the driving wheel unit can drive the rod body to rotate. At this time, since the first positioning ring, the second positioning ring and the lock head are all spot-welded and fixed, they will rotate synchronously with the rod body, and the welding mechanism is used to perform circular welding on the first positioning ring, the second positioning ring and the lock head. After the welding is completed, the rod body is lowered and still located in the arc-shaped groove of the bearing plate.

[0101] Next, driven by the rod driving mechanism, the rod body can fall from the bearing plate and fall into the receiving container.

[0102] Although the present invention has been illustrated and described with respect to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes and modifications can be made to the present invention as long as they do not exceed the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
