At the same time, the driving cylinder 9 works to drive the lifting L-shaped support plate 3 to descend, so that the base claw 15 and the handle pressing block 16 respectively press the base and the handle tightly on the barrel.

[0035] The driving motor 8 works to drive the rotating shaft 7 to rotate, so that the barrel, the base and the handle rotate accordingly, and cooperate with the welding torch of the welding torch mounting bracket 4 for welding processing.

[0036] After welding is completed, the driving motor 8 stops working, and the driving cylinder 9 works to reset the base claw 15 and the handle pressing block 16 away from the base and the handle, and then the welded product can be removed from the support plate 5.

[0037] The present invention is not limited to the foregoing specific embodiments. The present invention extends to any new feature or any new combination disclosed in this specification, as well as any new combination of the steps of any new method or process disclosed.
