Then, the clamping mechanism is used to drive the clamping block 11 to clamp the topmost circuit board and the first cylinder 9 is started to drive the clamping box 10 to rise and reset. Then, the left side transverse adjustment mechanism is used to drive the first hanging plate 8 on the left to move laterally. To the top of the circuit board adsorption slot 4 on the far left of the welding table 3, and then start the first cylinder 9 to drive the clamping box 10 to descend until the clamped circuit board falls into the circuit board adsorption slot 4. At this time, the clamping of the circuit board is released, so that it falls into the circuit board adsorption slot 4, and the suction positioning mechanism is used to adsorb and fix the circuit board to be welded at the bottom end of the circuit board adsorption slot 4. Finally, start the stepper motor 2 to drive the welding table 3 to rotate ninety degrees clockwise, so that the adsorbed and fixed circuit board is transferred to the bottom of the welding head 18, and repeat the above loading steps at the same time, and continue to adsorb and fix the circuit board to be welded in the circuit board adsorption slot 4 on the far left of the welding table 3, that is, complete the automatic loading of the circuit board to be welded;

[0048] When the circuit board to be adsorbed and fixed is transferred to the bottom of the welding head 18, the first linear motor 13 is used to drive the second linear motor 14 to move horizontally left and right, and the second linear motor 14 is used to drive the second hanging plate 15 to move longitudinally front and back until the welding head 18 at the bottom end of the support frame 17 is moved above the corresponding welding point on the circuit board, and then the second cylinder 16 is started to drive the support frame 17 to descend, so as to drive the welding head 18 to contact the welding point, and at the same time, the welding head 18 is started to weld the welding point, that is, the relevant welding work of the circuit board is completed. During the welding process, the temperature of the circuit board after welding is measured by the temperature measurement and control mechanism, and it is cooled to room temperature. At the same time, the smoke detection and purification mechanism is used to monitor the smoke generated during the welding process and to remove and purify it, so as to realize the relevant monitoring and emergency treatment of the welding process. During the entire welding process, the high-definition camera 19 is used to perform real-time video monitoring of the circuit board during the welding process. When an abnormality is found, the welding is stopped manually in time and the relevant welding parameters are adjusted accordingly.

[0049] After the circuit board under the welding head 18 is welded, continue to start the stepper motor 2 to drive the welding table 3 to rotate ninety degrees clockwise, so that the welded circuit board is transferred to the rightmost side and corresponds to the position of the unloading rack 6. At this time, the right side transverse adjustment mechanism is used to drive the first hanging plate 8 on the right side to move laterally to the top of the welded circuit board (that is, just above the circuit board adsorption groove 4 on the rightmost side of the welding table 3). Then start the first cylinder 9 to drive the clamping box 10 to descend until it drives the clamping block 11 to descend to the circuit board position (the clamping block 11 descends to the grooves on the front and rear sides of the circuit board adsorption groove 4). At this time, the adsorption and fixation of the circuit board are released, and The clamping mechanism drives the clamping block 11 to clamp the soldered and unfixed circuit board, and then the first cylinder 9 is started to drive the clamping box 10 to rise and reset, and the right side transverse adjustment mechanism is used to drive the first hanging plate 8 on the right side to move laterally to the top of the unloading rack 6, and then the first cylinder 9 is started to drive the clamping box 10 to descend until the clamping block 11 descends to the position of the unloading rack 6. At this time, the clamping of the circuit board is released, and it falls into the inner side of the unloading rack 6, and is received by the receiving buffer mechanism, that is, the automatic unloading of the circuit board after soldering is completed. Finally, the soldered circuit board is manually taken out from the unloading rack 6 and put into the subsequent processing steps;

[0050] Repeat the above steps to achieve continuous welding processing of the circuit board.
