The two positioning pressure wheels 808 are symmetrically distributed left and right on the belt conveyor 805. The highest height of the mounting plate 802 is at the same horizontal plane as that of the chassis A2, the chassis B3, and the chassis C4.

[0047] It should be noted that by fixing a guide plate with a forty-five-degree inclination angle to the left side of the belt conveyor 805, the stable introduction of materials is realized, reducing the resistance and jamming phenomenon when the materials enter; the two positioning pressure wheels 808 are symmetrically distributed left and right on the belt conveyor 805, ensuring the precise guiding and stable transmission of the materials during the conveying process, avoiding deviation or dislocation; the highest height of the mounting plate 802 is at the same horizontal plane as that of the chassis A2, the chassis B3, and the chassis C4, ensuring the coordination and consistency of the entire system, simplifying the material transfer process between the devices. The overall design optimizes the material conveying path and stability, improves the production efficiency and operation accuracy, and at the same time enhances the reliability and maintenance convenience of the system, suitable for high-precision and automated industrial production environments. It not only improves the overall smoothness of the production line, but also ensures the consistency and stability of the product quality.

[0048] In this application, the fixing method between the connecting frame 903 and the drum 904 belongs to the category of existing technologies. Usually, a detachable fixing method is adopted to facilitate replacement and maintenance. Common fixing methods include mechanical connection means such as using bolts, clamps or buckles. These methods have been widely verified and maturely used in industrial applications. Specifically, standardized interfaces or slots can be designed on the connecting frame 903, and a corresponding matching structure is provided at one end of the drum 904. For example, the drum 904 can be firmly fixed to the connecting frame 903 through multiple high-strength bolts, or a quick-release clamp can be used to achieve quick installation and disassembly. This design not only ensures the stability of the connection, but also facilitates the operator to quickly replace the drum 904 when needed, reducing the downtime and improving the production efficiency. Since such fixing methods have been widely used in related fields and their technologies and principles are well-known to those skilled in the art, there is no need to elaborate on this too much in this application. The focus should be placed on the unique innovation points and technical improvements of the present invention, such as automatic control, precise alignment and improvement of welding quality, etc.

[0049] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows:

[0050] Place the metal sheet to be welded on the material placement rack 1 and prepare to enter the welding process. The material feeding mechanism 6 is responsible for transporting the metal sheet from the material placement rack 1 to the welding area. Through the operation of the X module A602, the upper module slider moves, driving the drive box 603 to move along the X-axis direction, so that the suction cup plate A609 moves above the horizontal plane of the material placement rack 1. At this time, the motor A607 on the drive box 603 drives the gear 608 to rotate, and the gear 608 meshes with the tooth groove 606 in the support frame 605, causing the support frame 605 to move downward until the suction cup plate A609 contacts the metal sheet. The electric suction cup A610 adsorbs the metal sheet. As the support frame 605 moves, the sheet is transported to the welding area. After the sheet reaches the welding area, the cylinder a7014 on the right side operates, causing the electric suction cup B7016 on the right suction cup plate B7015 to move downward and adsorb the sheet. At the same time, the X module B7012 on the right side operates to push the adsorbed sheet to the left. At this time, with the cooperation of the X module B7012 on the left side and the suction cup plate B7015, it fits against the left side of the top plate 7045. At the same time, the cooperation of the X module B7012 on the right side and the electric suction cup B7016 on the right side causes another metal sheet to fit against the right side of the top plate 7045. At the same time, the operation of the cylinder b7020 in its assembly can cause the push plate 7023 to push the metal sheet backward. When the metal sheet fits against the baffle 7024, the alignment of the two metal sheets on both sides is completed. After alignment, the cylinder i 7039 outputs a contraction, driving the pressure block A7040 downward. After the pressure blocks A7040 on both sides move downward, they press the two metal sheets to be welded to complete the positioning. At the same time, the output shaft of the cylinder c7032 contracts, driving the top plate 7045 downward. At this time, there is a certain gap between the two movable blocks 7038. Under the operation of the cylinder d7037, the two movable blocks 7038 move relative to each other to maintain a fitting state. At this time, the two metal sheets are also in a fitting state. At this time, through the operation of the Y module 7042, the connecting platform 7043 is driven forward, and at the same time, the cylinder f70442 drives the lower substrate 70443 downward, further enabling the laser welding machine body 11 inside to complete welding at the connection of the two metal sheets;

[0051] During the movement of the lower substrate 70443, the spring 70446 elongates, and the limit rod 70445 slides within the limit sleeve 70444 to provide buffering during the welding process. After welding is completed, the output shaft of the cylinder i 7039 elongates, causing the pressure block A 7040 to no longer position the metal sheet. Then, with the cooperation of the X module B 7012 and the electric suction cup B 7016 on both sides, the metal sheet is pushed to the left. At this time, the metal sheet passes between the pressure block B 804 and the mounting plate 802. After the output shaft of the cylinder g 803 contracts, the pressure block B 804 presses the metal sheet, and the slider of the XY two-axis module 801 drives the mounting plate 802 and the pressure block B 804 to move to the left. Under its frequent movement, the metal sheet can be intermittently pushed to the left to complete auxiliary feeding. The metal sheet will reach the upper side of the belt conveyor 805 and continue to be conveyed to the left by the belt conveyor 805. The adjustable positioning pressure wheel 808 driven by the cylinder j 806 is used to ensure the stability of the sheet conveying;

[0052] After welding is completed, the metal sheet will be conveyed to the winding mechanism 9. The motor C 902 drives the connecting frame 903 to rotate, driving the reel 904 to rotate for winding work. During the winding process, the pressing piece 907 presses the metal sheet under the drive of the cylinder h 906. After the light sensor 908 detects the winding state of the metal sheet, it controls the operation of the motor C 902 to ensure the smooth progress of the winding process and ensure that the welded metal sheet is correctly wound.
