When this device faces automobile grilles to be welded of different models, the relative positions of the grille support block and the square support platform, and the multi-type positioning jaws and the bottom jaw seat can be freely changed according to the radian, length and width of the automobile grilles to be welded of different models, so as to adapt to the welding operations of automobile grilles to be welded and decorative plates to be welded of various models, thereby enabling this device to have a good positioning effect on automobile grilles to be welded and decorative plates to be welded of various models.

[0008] 2. During the process of the lifting drive platform being lifted, when the multi-type positioning jaws approach the automobile grille to be welded and the decorative plate to be welded until the positioning of the automobile grille to be welded and the decorative plate to be welded is completed, the multi-type positioning jaws will disconnect from the automobile grille to be welded and the decorative plate to be welded until the automobile grille to be welded is pressed on the upper part of the grille support block, so that the multi-type positioning jaws will not block the welding path of the welding head, ensuring that the top and side of the automobile grille to be welded are welded at one time and increasing the welding efficiency.

[0009] 3. The interior of the bottom jaw seat in the present invention is hollowed out, enabling the bottom jaw seat to tilt within a larger range without colliding with the bottom support hydraulic cylinder driving worm, so that the distance between the multi-type positioning jaws and the automobile grille to be welded is greater when the multi-type positioning jaws run to the extreme position far from the automobile grille to be welded, thereby making it more difficult for the multi-type positioning jaws to be affected by the fumes generated during the subsequent welding process, and thus avoiding excessive accumulation of vaporized metal on the multi-type positioning jaws and affecting the subsequent positioning accuracy of the multi-type positioning jaws.

[0010] 4. The smooth transition groove of the present invention is smoothly tangent to the forward drive thread groove and the reverse drive thread groove, enabling the drive ball to smoothly transition between the forward drive thread groove and the reverse drive thread groove. The vibration during the transition process is small, reducing the wear and tear on the drive ball, and thus reducing the probability of the drive ball malfunctioning.

[0011] 5. When the plasma welding head of the present invention performs welding operations, it synchronously welds multiple joints of the automotive grille to be welded and the decorative panel to be welded at multiple points, increasing the welding efficiency of the plasma welding head. At the same time, each plasma welding head can swing left and right and adjust its own pitch angle, enabling this device to effectively weld various models of automotive grilles to be welded and decorative panels to be welded.

[0031] Further, before placing the automobile grille 3 to be welded, loosen the support block fastening screw 34, and adjust the positions of the respective grille support blocks 36 according to the automobile grille 3 to be welded that needs to be positioned. After the adjustment of the grille support blocks 36 is completed, tighten the support block fastening screw 34 to completely fix the positions of the grille support blocks 36, which is convenient for the subsequent placement of the automobile grille 3 to be welded. Then loosen the jaw fastening screw 23, select the installation models of the respective multi-type positioning jaws 21 according to the automobile grille 3 to be welded that needs to be positioned. After the installation is completed, adjust the relative positions between the multi-type positioning jaws 2 and the bottom jaw seat 19. After the adjustment of the multi-type positioning jaws 21 is completed, tighten the jaw fastening screw 23 to completely fix the positions of the multi-type positioning jaws 21, which is convenient for the subsequent positioning of the automobile grille 3 to be welded.

[0032] Further, when the automotive grille 3 to be welded and the decorative plate 9 to be welded are not placed, the hydraulic rod of the bottom support hydraulic cylinder 14 is in a retracted state, and the square support platform 1 is separated from the lifting drive platform 2. After placing the automotive grille 3 to be welded and the decorative plate 9 to be welded, the hydraulic rod of the bottom support hydraulic cylinder 14 extends, and the lifting drive platform 2 is lifted. During the lifting process of the lifting drive platform 2, the driven rod sleeve 17 of the lifting drive platform 2 drives the driving ball 50 to lift, causing the driving ball 50 to slide inside the driving spiral groove 48 of the driven rod 18. When the driving ball 50 slides inside the forward driving thread groove 481, the driven rod 18 rotates forward. The driven rod 18 drives the bottom claw seat 19 and the multi-type positioning claw 21 connecting body to approach the automotive grille 3 to be welded through the cooperation between the driving worm 46 and the driven worm gear 32. Along with the continuous lifting of the driven rod sleeve 17, when the driving ball 50 slides into the smooth transition groove 483, the bottom claw seat 19 and the multi-type positioning claw 21 connecting body move to the limit position close to the automotive grille 3 to be welded and the decorative plate 9 to be welded. At this time, all the multi-type positioning claws 21 are connected to the automotive grille 3 to be welded and the decorative plate 9 to be welded, positioning the automotive grille 3 to be welded and the decorative plate 9 to the centered position. After that, the driven rod sleeve 17 continues to lift, the driving ball 50 slides into the reverse driving thread groove 482, and the driven rod 18 rotates in the reverse direction, causing the bottom claw seat 19 and the multi-type positioning claw 21 connecting body to move away from the automotive grille 3 to be welded until the driven rod sleeve 17 is lifted to the limit position, and the square support platform 1 is connected to the lifting drive platform 2. The bottom claw seat 19 and the multi-type positioning claw 21 connecting body move to the limit position away from the automotive grille 3 to be welded. At the same time, the sealing gasket 40 connected to the lifting drive platform 2 is pressed against the bottom of the lower negative pressure chamber 39. At this time, the air extraction device connected to the main air extraction pipe 16 is started, and a negative pressure is formed inside the internal spaces of the main air extraction pipe 16, the main air extraction chamber 42, the air extraction pipe 41, the sealing gasket 40, the lower negative pressure chamber 39, the support block installation groove 38, and the upper negative pressure chamber 37, pressing the automotive grille 3 to be welded against the top of the grille support block 36 by the atmospheric pressure, thereby completing the fixation of the automotive grille 3 to be welded.

[0033] It should be noted that the grille support block 36 and the square support platform 1 are designed in a split manner, and the multi-type positioning claw 21 and the bottom claw seat 19 are designed in a split manner. When this device faces automotive grilles 3 to be welded of different models, the relative positions of the grille support block 36 and the square support platform 1, and the multi-type positioning claw 21 and the bottom claw seat 19 can be freely changed according to the curvature, length, and width of the automotive grilles 3 to be welded of different models, so as to adapt to the welding operations of automotive grilles 3 to be welded and decorative plates 9 to be welded of different models, and thus this device has a good positioning effect for various automotive grilles 3 to be welded and decorative plates 9 to be welded.

[0034] It should be noted that during the process of lifting the lifting drive table 2, when the multi-type positioning claws 21 approach the automobile grille 3 to be welded and the decorative plate 9 to be welded until the positioning of the automobile grille 3 to be welded and the decorative plate 9 to be welded is completed, the multi-type positioning claws 21 will disconnect from the automobile grille 3 to be welded and the decorative plate 9 to be welded until the automobile grille 3 to be welded is pressed tightly on the upper part of the grille support block 36, so that the multi-type positioning claws 21 will not block the welding path of the electric telescopic rod 30, ensuring that the top and side of the automobile grille 3 to be welded are welded at one time, increasing the welding efficiency. The force application of the present invention is balanced to prevent the occurrence of welding beads or unevenness, effectively preventing deformation caused by inaccurate welding or uneven weld seams resulting in uneven stress.

[0035] It should be noted that the inside of the bottom claw seat 19 is hollowed out, so that the bottom claw seat 19 can be tilted within a larger range without colliding with the bottom support hydraulic cylinder 1 and the driving worm 46, so that when the multi-type positioning claws 21 run to the extreme position far from the automobile grille 3 to be welded, the distance from the automobile grille 3 to be welded is larger, so that the multi-type positioning claws 21 are less likely to be affected by the fumes generated during the subsequent welding process, thus avoiding excessive accumulation of vaporized metal on the multi-type positioning claws 21 and affecting the subsequent positioning accuracy of the multi-type positioning claws 21.

[0036] It should be noted that the smooth transition groove 483 is smoothly tangent to the forward driving thread groove 481 and the reverse driving thread groove 482, so that the driving ball 50 can smoothly transition between the forward driving thread groove 481 and the reverse driving thread groove 482, with little vibration during the transition process, reducing the wear and tear of the driving ball 50, thereby reducing the probability of the driving ball 50 malfunctioning; the positioning claws only contact the grille during the clamping stage and are completely separated during welding, avoiding the path blockage of the welding head by the traditional fixed groove, realizing single-time full-circumference welding, and increasing the efficiency by more than 30%. After the claws are released, they are far away from the welding area, avoiding the attachment of welding spatter and metal vapor, extending the life of the claws and reducing the cleaning and maintenance frequency. The modular combination of the support block and the claws can cover more than 90% of the automobile grille models, such as straight waterfall type, honeycomb type, and dot matrix type, without the need to replace special molds, and the switching time is shortened to within 10 minutes. At the same time, the smooth transition groove 483 reduces the vibration when the driving ball 50 changes direction, ensuring the precise positioning of the special-shaped automobile grille to be welded during the clamping / release process of the claws, with a positioning error <0.1 mm, improving the dynamic stability. At the same time, multiple welding heads can be independently adjusted to synchronously weld the top, side, and curved surface of the automobile grille to be welded, reducing the process switching time of traditional equipment and increasing the production capacity by 50%. The welding head swings left and right and adjusts the pitch angle, which can complete the special-shaped seams that are difficult to process by traditional equipment, and the weld qualification rate reaches 99.5%, adapting to complex welds.
