Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of welding equipment, and more specifically, to an automated welding apparatus for forgings. Background Technology
[0002] The difference between forgings and castings is that forgings are made by hammering, which makes the metal parts denser, stronger, and more resistant to bending. Castings are not as dense as forgings, but are suitable for processing more precise parts. However, welding of forgings refers to the process of welding metal workpieces that have been formed by forging.
[0003] However, most existing welding methods for forgings rely on manual welding. While this method achieves the desired welding effect, it requires workers to maintain a single welding posture for extended periods, increasing their workload and reducing welding efficiency. Therefore, we propose an automated welding device for forgings to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0046] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0047] Example:
[0048] Please see Figures 1-2 An automated welding device for forgings includes a workbench 1, and further includes: two material support mechanisms 2, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the top surface of the workbench 1, for supporting the forgings; a welding torch 4, which is positioned above one of the material support mechanisms 2; a welding machine 5, which is positioned to one side of the welding torch 4 and is used to cooperate with the welding torch 4 to perform welding on the forgings; and a transfer mechanism 3, which is positioned to one side of the top surface of the workbench 1 and is connected to the welding torch 4 on one side. The welding machine 5 is located on one side of the top surface of the transfer mechanism 3, which provides support for the welding gun 4 and the welding machine 5; the placement mechanism 6 is located on the other side of the top surface of the workbench 1, and is used to place the welding rods used for welding; the camera 7 is located directly above the center of the workbench 1, and is used to identify the position of the forging to be welded; the touch screen 9 is located on one side of the camera 7, and is used to control the operation of the material support mechanism 2, the welding machine 5, the transfer mechanism 3, the placement mechanism 6 and the camera 7.
[0049] The workbench 1 allows for placement in a designated position, while the two material support mechanisms 2 and the transfer mechanism 3 provide stable support. When welding two forgings, the operator first places them on the material support mechanisms 2, ensuring they are stably supported. The touchscreen all-in-one machine 9 controls the flexible operation of the two material support mechanisms 2, allowing them to move and adjust the positions of the two forgings, bringing their welding surfaces closer together until a suitable position is reached. Then, the camera 7 captures images of the two forgings and sends them to the touchscreen all-in-one machine 9. The touchscreen all-in-one machine 9 then automatically controls the transfer mechanism 3, which then... One movable end of mechanism 3 can smoothly clamp the welding torch 4 and flexibly move the position of the welding torch 4, so that the bottom end of the welding torch 4 is close to the welding point of the two forgings to be welded. Then, the other movable end of the transfer mechanism 3 can smoothly pick up the welding rod from the placement mechanism 6 and move the welding rod to the position of the welding torch 4. Then, through the control of the transfer mechanism 3, the welding machine 5, the welding torch 4 and the welding rod can cooperate to weld the welding surface of the two forgings. At this time, the touch screen all-in-one machine 9 can also synchronously control the operation of the two material support mechanisms 2, so that the two material support mechanisms 2 can synchronously drive the two forgings to rotate, thereby enabling comprehensive welding of the two forgings. The entire welding process does not require much human intervention, which can reduce the labor intensity of workers and ensure the efficiency of welding forgings.
[0050] See Figures 1-4 The material support mechanism 2 includes a base plate 21 disposed on one side of the top surface of the workbench 1. An adjustment component 22 is disposed on the top surface of the base plate 21, and two lifting components 23 are disposed on the top surface of the adjustment component 22 in a symmetrical manner.
[0051] The base plate 21 in the material support mechanism 2 can be fixed to one side of the top surface of the workbench 1 and can provide stable support for the adjustment component 22. The adjustment component 22 can support the two lifting components 23 and adjust their positions, so that the two lifting components 23 can smoothly lift the forging and move it. At the same time, the two lifting components 23 can rotate the lifted forging, so that the welding torch 4 can perform a comprehensive welding process on the forging.
[0052] See Figures 1-5The adjustment component 22 includes a first support plate 221. A first slider 222 is fixedly provided on both sides of the bottom surface of the first support plate 221. A first slide rail 223 for sliding guide of the first slider 222 is fixedly provided on both sides of the top surface of the base plate 21. A first upright plate 224 is fixedly provided on one side of the middle position of the bottom surface of the first support plate 221. A first electric push rod 225 is fixedly provided on one side wall of the first upright plate 224. The first electric push rod 225 is connected to the top surface of the base plate 21 through a first card seat 226. A second slide rail 227 is fixedly provided on both sides of the top surface of the first support plate 221. A second card seat 228 is fixedly provided at the middle position of the top surface of the first support plate 221. A bidirectional electric push rod 229 is provided on the second card seat 228. A second upright plate 2210 is fixedly provided on both output ends of the bidirectional electric push rod 229. The top ends of the two second upright plates 2210 are respectively connected to the bottom of the two lifting components 23.
[0053] By adjusting the two first slide rails 223 in component 22, it can be fixed to the top surface of the base plate 21 and provide sliding support for the first slider 222 on the first support plate 221, thereby enabling the first support plate 221 to move smoothly back and forth. The two second slide rails 227 can be fixed to both sides of the top surface of the first support plate 221 respectively and provide sliding tracks for the two lifting components 23. Then, the bidirectional electric push rod 229 can be fixed to the first support plate 221 via the second bracket 228, and its two telescopic ends can be connected to the two lifting components 23 via the two second upright plates 2210 respectively. Therefore, when the bidirectional... When the electric push rod 229 extends or retracts, it can simultaneously drive the two lifting components 23 to separate or move closer on the two second slide rails 227, thereby facilitating the two lifting components 23 to lift forgings of different sizes. The first electric push rod 225 can be fixed to the top surface of the base plate 21 via the first card seat 226, and its extension end can be connected to the first support plate 221 via the first vertical plate 224. Therefore, by extending or retracting the first electric push rod 225, the first support plate 221 can be moved left and right via the first vertical plate 224, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the forging so that it can move closer to or away from the forging on the other material support mechanism 2.
[0054] See Figures 3-6The lifting assembly 23 includes a second support plate 231. Both sides of the bottom surface of the second support plate 231 are fixedly provided with second sliders 232 for sliding on the second slide rail 227. A roller 233 is provided above the second support plate 231. A shaft 234 is fixedly provided at the axial center of both ends of the roller 233. Both shafts 234 are connected to the top surface of the second support plate 231 through a bearing 235. One end of one shaft 234 is provided with a first gear 236. A motor 237 is provided on one side of the top surface of the second support plate 231. The output end of the motor 237 is provided with a second gear 238 for meshing with the first gear 236.
[0055] The second support plate 231 in the lifting assembly 23 allows the second slider 232 to slide smoothly on the second slide rail 227, and also allows the two seated bearings 235 to be installed and fixed. The seated bearings 235, together with the shaft 234, provide support for the roller 233, so that the roller 233 can smoothly lift the forging. Then, the motor 237 drives the first gear 236 located at one end of the shaft 234 via the second gear 238, thereby driving the roller 233 to rotate, and thus synchronously driving the forging to rotate, so that the welding torch 4 can perform comprehensive welding on the forging.
[0056] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 7-9 The transfer mechanism 3 includes a U-shaped frame 31 disposed on one side of the top surface of the workbench 1. Movable components 32 are disposed on both sides of the inner cavity of the U-shaped frame 31. Pushing components 34 are disposed at the top of the two moving components 32. Automatic robotic arms 35 are disposed on one side of the top surface of the two pushing components 34. One automatic robotic arm 35 is used to clamp the welding gun 4. The welding machine 5 is located on the side of the automatic robotic arm 35 that clamps the welding gun 4, and the bottom end of the welding machine 5 is connected to the top surface of the current pushing component 34. The other automatic robotic arm 35 is used to clamp the welding rod. The placing mechanism 6 is located on the side of the automatic robotic arm 35 that clamps the welding rod, and the bottom end of the placing mechanism 6 is connected to the top surface of the current pushing component 34. Third slide rails 33 for guiding the moving components 32 are fixedly disposed on both sides of the inner cavity of the U-shaped frame 31 and near the top. Both ends of the U-shaped frame 31 are detachably connected to sealing plates 38.
[0057] The U-shaped frame 31 in the transfer mechanism 3 can be fixed to one side of the top surface of the workbench 1 and also provide a mounting base for the moving components 32. Since both moving components 32 are equipped with pushing components 34 at their top ends, and both pushing components 34 are equipped with automatic robotic arms 35 on one side of their top surfaces, the movement of the two moving components 32 can synchronously adjust the left and right positions of the two pushing components 34, thereby adjusting the relative positions of the two automatic robotic arms 35. One automatic robotic arm 35 is used to hold the welding torch 4, with the welding machine 5 located on the side of the automatic robotic arm 35 holding the welding torch 4, and the other automatic robotic arm 35 is used to hold the welding rod, with the placing mechanism 6 located on the side of the automatic robotic arm 35 holding the welding rod. Therefore, the two automatic robotic arms 35 can be used to separate the welding torch 4 and the welding rod 5. The welding torch 4 and welding rod are clamped together, and under the action of the welding machine 5, the welding torch 4 and welding rod can be used to weld the two forgings. Since the welding machine 5 is installed on the push component 34 located on one side of the welding torch 4, it is convenient for the welding machine 5 to control the operation of the welding torch 4. Since the placement mechanism 6 is installed on the push component 34 located on the side of the welding rod gripping, it is convenient for the current automatic robotic arm 35 to grip the welding rod. Since the inner walls of the U-shaped frame 31 are fixedly provided with third slide rails 33 for guiding the moving component 32, the stability of the two moving components 32 moving left and right in the U-shaped frame 31 can be improved. Since the two ends of the U-shaped frame 31 can be detachably connected with sealing plates 38, the two ends of the U-shaped frame 31 can be sealed, thereby preventing the moving component 32 from falling off the U-shaped frame 31.
[0058] See Figure 9 , Figure 10 The moving component 32 includes a moving trolley 321 disposed in the inner cavity of the U-shaped frame 31. The top surface of the moving trolley 321 and near the four corners are provided with outer tubes 322. The inner cavity of each outer tube 322 is movably connected to an inner tube 323. The top ends of the four inner tubes 323 are connected through a top plate 324. The bottom end of the inner cavity of each outer tube 322 is fixedly provided with a third electric push rod 325. The top end of the third electric push rod 325 is connected to the top end of the inner cavity of the inner tube 323. The outer wall of the moving trolley 321 is provided with a first distance sensor. The middle position of the top surface of the moving trolley 321 is provided with a second distance sensor 326. Limit plates 327 are fixedly provided on both sides of the top surface of the moving trolley 321. The outer walls of the two limit plates 327 are provided with third sliders 328 for sliding on the third slide rail 33.
[0059] The moving trolley 321 in the moving assembly 32 can move left and right within the U-shaped frame 31, and also provides an installation base for the four outer tubes 322, the first distance sensor, the second distance sensor 326, and the two limiting plates 327. Since each outer tube 322 has an inner tube 323 movably inserted into its inner cavity, and the tops of the four inner tubes 323 are connected via a top plate 324, and the bottom of each outer tube 322's inner cavity is connected to the top of the inner tube 323's inner cavity via a third electric push rod 325, the extension and retraction of the third electric push rod 325 synchronously drives the top plate 324 up and down, thereby adjusting the position and height of the top plate 324. Furthermore, the second distance sensor 326 can monitor the distance between the top surface of the moving trolley 321 and the bottom surface of the top plate 324, and send the monitoring data to the touch screen all-in-one machine 9. The position and height of the top plate 324 can be precisely controlled. Through the first distance sensor, the distance between the moving trolley 321 and the sealing plate 38 can be monitored, and the monitoring data can be sent to the touch screen all-in-one machine 9. Thus, the left and right positions of the moving trolley 321 can be precisely controlled. Since the top surface of the moving trolley 321 is fixedly provided with limit plates 327 on both sides, and the outer walls of the two limit plates 327 are provided with third sliders 328 for sliding on the third slide rail 33, when the moving trolley 321 moves left and right, the third sliders 328 on the limit plates 327 can cooperate with the third slide rail 33 on the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 31 to limit and guide the moving trolley 321. This can improve the stability of the moving trolley 321's left and right movement, and prevent the moving trolley 321 from tipping over, thus improving the safety of the moving trolley 321.
[0060] See Figure 9 , Figure 10 The inner sidewalls of the two third slide rails 33 are provided with second slots 36, and iron plates 37 are provided in the inner cavity of the second slots 36; the outer sidewall of the third slider 328 is provided with a first slot 329, and an electromagnet 3210 is provided in the inner cavity of the first slot 329; a notch 3211 is provided on one sidewall of the third slider 328, and one end of the notch 3211 extends into the inner cavity of the first slot 329.
[0061] After the mobile trolley 321 moves to the designated position, the touch screen all-in-one machine 9 can control the operation of the electromagnet 3210 in the first slot 329, so that the electromagnet 3210 can be attracted to the iron piece 37 in the second slot 36, thereby limiting the third slider 328, so as to improve the stability of the mobile trolley 321 after movement, and thus improve the stability of subsequent welding of the welding torch 4. Through the notch 3211, the cable on the electromagnet 3210 can easily extend out of the first slot 329, and thus be connected to the touch screen all-in-one machine 9.
[0062] See Figures 9-11 The pushing component 34 includes a third support plate 341 disposed at the top of the moving component 32, a fourth support plate 342 disposed on one side above the third support plate 341, a fourth slider 343 fixedly disposed on both sides of the bottom surface of the fourth support plate 342, a fourth slide rail 344 for guiding the fourth slider 343 fixedly disposed on both sides of the top surface of the third support plate 341, a third upright plate 345 fixedly disposed on one side of the middle position of the bottom surface of the fourth support plate 342, a fourth electric push rod 346 fixedly disposed on one side wall of the third upright plate 345, and the fourth electric push rod 346 is connected to the top surface of the third support plate 341 through a third card holder 347, a third distance sensor 348 disposed on one side of the third card holder 347, and the detection end of the third distance sensor 348 faces the third upright plate 345.
[0063] The third support plate 341 in the push assembly 34 can be fixed to the top surface of the top plate 324 and can also be installed and fixed to the two fourth slide rails 344. The fourth support plate 342 can be slidably installed on the fourth slide rails 344 via the fourth slider 343, so that it can move back and forth smoothly, and can also provide stable support for the automatic robotic arm 35. Then, the fourth electric push rod 346 can be fixed to the top surface of the third support plate 341 via the third bracket 347, and its telescopic end can be connected to the fourth support plate 344 via the third upright plate 345. The plates 342 are connected, so that the front and rear positions of the fourth support plate 342 can be adjusted synchronously by the extension and retraction of the fourth electric push rod 346. Since a third distance sensor 348 is provided on one side of the third card holder 347, and the detection end of the third distance sensor 348 faces the third upright plate 345, the third distance sensor 348 can detect the distance to the third upright plate 345 and send the monitoring data to the touch screen all-in-one machine 9, so that the device can accurately control the distance of the fourth support plate 342 moving back and forth.
[0064] See Figure 1 , Figure 12 The placement mechanism 6 includes a storage box 61 disposed on one side of the top surface of the transfer mechanism 3, and the inner cavity of the storage box 61 is provided with a placement rack 62 for vertically storing and placing welding rods.
[0065] The storage box 61 in the placement mechanism 6 can be installed on one side of the top surface of the transfer mechanism 3, and can also provide a mounting base for the placement rack 62. The placement rack 62 allows users to conveniently place multiple welding rods vertically, which serves both to store the welding rods and to facilitate the automatic robotic arm 35 to grasp them.
[0066] See Figure 1 , Figure 2A bracket 8 is provided on the top side of the camera 7, and the bottom end of the bracket 8 is connected to the workbench 1. The outer wall of the workbench 1 is connected to the touch screen all-in-one machine 9. The bracket 8 can be fixed to one side of the workbench 1 and can also provide support for the camera 7 and the touch screen all-in-one machine 9, thereby improving the stability of their use.
[0067] In use: The workbench 1 allows for placement in a designated position, while the two material support mechanisms 2 and the transfer mechanism 3 provide stable support. When welding two forgings, the operator first places them on the material support mechanisms 2, ensuring they are stably supported. The touchscreen all-in-one machine 9 controls the flexible operation of the two material support mechanisms 2, allowing them to move and adjust the positions of the two forgings, bringing their welding surfaces closer together until a suitable position is reached. Then, the camera 7 captures images of the two forgings and sends the images to the touchscreen all-in-one machine 9. The touchscreen all-in-one machine 9 then automatically controls the transfer mechanism 3. One movable end of the transfer mechanism 3 can smoothly clamp the welding torch 4 and flexibly move the position of the welding torch 4, so that the bottom end of the welding torch 4 is close to the welding point of the two forgings to be welded. Then, the other movable end of the transfer mechanism 3 can smoothly pick up the welding rod from the placement mechanism 6 and move the welding rod to the position of the welding torch 4. Then, through the control of the transfer mechanism 3, the welding machine 5, the welding torch 4 and the welding rod can cooperate to weld the welding surface of the two forgings. At this time, the touch screen all-in-one machine 9 can also synchronously control the operation of the two material support mechanisms 2, so that the two material support mechanisms 2 can synchronously drive the two forgings to rotate, thereby enabling comprehensive welding of the two forgings. The entire welding process does not require much human intervention, which can reduce the labor intensity of workers and ensure the efficiency of welding forgings.
[0068] The base plate 21 in the material support mechanism 2 can be fixed to one side of the top surface of the workbench 1 and provide stable support for the adjustment assembly 22. The adjustment assembly 22 can also support and adjust the positions of the two lifting assemblies 23, allowing them to smoothly lift and move the forging. Simultaneously, the two lifting assemblies 23 can rotate the lifted forging, enabling the welding torch 4 to perform comprehensive welding on it. The two first slide rails 223 in the adjustment assembly 22 can be fixed to the top surface of the base plate 21 and provide sliding support for the first slider 222 on the first support plate 221, allowing the first support plate 221 to move smoothly back and forth. The two second slide rails 227 can be fixed to both sides of the top surface of the first support plate 221 and also support the two lifting assemblies 23. A sliding track is provided, and then a bidirectional electric push rod 229 is provided. It can be fixed to the first support plate 221 via the second bracket 228, and its two telescopic ends can be connected to the two lifting components 23 via the two second vertical plates 2210 respectively. So when the bidirectional electric push rod 229 extends or retracts, it can simultaneously drive the two lifting components 23 to separate or move closer on the two second slide rails 227, thereby facilitating the two lifting components 23 to lift forgings of different sizes. A first electric push rod 225 is provided. It can be fixed to the top surface of the base plate 21 via the first bracket 226, and its telescopic end can be connected to the first support plate 221 via the first vertical plate 224. So when the first electric push rod 225 extends or retracts, it can drive the first support plate 221 to move left and right via the first vertical plate 224, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the forging so that it can move closer or further away from the forging on the other material support mechanism 2.
[0069] The second support plate 231 in the lifting assembly 23 allows the second slider 232 to slide smoothly on the second slide rail 227, and also allows the two seated bearings 235 to be installed and fixed. The seated bearings 235, together with the shaft 234, provide support for the roller 233, so that the roller 233 can smoothly lift the forging. Then, the motor 237 drives the first gear 236 located at one end of the shaft 234 via the second gear 238, thereby driving the roller 233 to rotate, and thus synchronously driving the forging to rotate, so that the welding torch 4 can perform comprehensive welding on the forging.
[0070] The U-shaped frame 31 in the transfer mechanism 3 can be fixed to one side of the top surface of the workbench 1 and also provide a mounting base for the moving components 32. Since both moving components 32 are equipped with pushing components 34 at their top ends, and both pushing components 34 are equipped with automatic robotic arms 35 on one side of their top surfaces, the movement of the two moving components 32 can synchronously adjust the left and right positions of the two pushing components 34, thereby adjusting the relative positions of the two automatic robotic arms 35. One automatic robotic arm 35 is used to hold the welding torch 4, with the welding machine 5 located on the side of the automatic robotic arm 35 holding the welding torch 4, and the other automatic robotic arm 35 is used to hold the welding rod, with the placing mechanism 6 located on the side of the automatic robotic arm 35 holding the welding rod. Therefore, the two automatic robotic arms 35 can be used to separate the welding torch 4 and the welding rod 5. The welding torch 4 and welding rod are clamped together, and under the action of the welding machine 5, the welding torch 4 and welding rod can be used to weld the two forgings. Since the welding machine 5 is installed on the push component 34 located on one side of the welding torch 4, it is convenient for the welding machine 5 to control the operation of the welding torch 4. Since the placement mechanism 6 is installed on the push component 34 located on the side of the welding rod gripping, it is convenient for the current automatic robotic arm 35 to grip the welding rod. Since the inner walls of the U-shaped frame 31 are fixedly provided with third slide rails 33 for guiding the moving component 32, the stability of the two moving components 32 moving left and right in the U-shaped frame 31 can be improved. Since the two ends of the U-shaped frame 31 can be detachably connected with sealing plates 38, the two ends of the U-shaped frame 31 can be sealed, thereby preventing the moving component 32 from falling off the U-shaped frame 31.
[0071] The moving trolley 321 in the moving assembly 32 can move left and right within the U-shaped frame 31, and also provides an installation base for the four outer tubes 322, the first distance sensor, the second distance sensor 326, and the two limiting plates 327. Since each outer tube 322 has an inner tube 323 movably inserted into its inner cavity, and the tops of the four inner tubes 323 are connected via a top plate 324, and the bottom of each outer tube 322's inner cavity is connected to the top of the inner tube 323's inner cavity via a third electric push rod 325, the extension and retraction of the third electric push rod 325 synchronously drives the top plate 324 up and down, thereby adjusting the position and height of the top plate 324. Furthermore, the second distance sensor 326 can monitor the distance between the top surface of the moving trolley 321 and the bottom surface of the top plate 324, and send the monitoring data to the touch screen all-in-one machine 9. The position and height of the top plate 324 can be precisely controlled. Through the first distance sensor, the distance between the moving trolley 321 and the sealing plate 38 can be monitored, and the monitoring data can be sent to the touch screen all-in-one machine 9. Thus, the left and right positions of the moving trolley 321 can be precisely controlled. Since the top surface of the moving trolley 321 is fixedly provided with limit plates 327 on both sides, and the outer walls of the two limit plates 327 are provided with third sliders 328 for sliding on the third slide rail 33, when the moving trolley 321 moves left and right, the third sliders 328 on the limit plates 327 can cooperate with the third slide rail 33 on the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 31 to limit and guide the moving trolley 321. This can improve the stability of the moving trolley 321's left and right movement, and prevent the moving trolley 321 from tipping over, thus improving the safety of the moving trolley 321.
[0072] After the mobile trolley 321 moves to the designated position, the touch screen all-in-one machine 9 can control the operation of the electromagnet 3210 in the first slot 329, so that the electromagnet 3210 can be attracted to the iron piece 37 in the second slot 36, thereby limiting the third slider 328, so as to improve the stability of the mobile trolley 321 after movement, and thus improve the stability of subsequent welding of the welding torch 4. Through the notch 3211, the cable on the electromagnet 3210 can easily extend out of the first slot 329, and thus be connected to the touch screen all-in-one machine 9.
[0073] The third support plate 341 in the push assembly 34 can be fixed to the top surface of the top plate 324 and can also be installed and fixed to the two fourth slide rails 344. The fourth support plate 342 can be slidably installed on the fourth slide rails 344 via the fourth slider 343, so that it can move back and forth smoothly, and can also provide stable support for the automatic robotic arm 35. Then, the fourth electric push rod 346 can be fixed to the top surface of the third support plate 341 via the third bracket 347, and its telescopic end can be connected to the fourth support plate 344 via the third upright plate 345. The plates 342 are connected, so that the front and rear positions of the fourth support plate 342 can be adjusted synchronously by the extension and retraction of the fourth electric push rod 346. Since a third distance sensor 348 is provided on one side of the third card holder 347, and the detection end of the third distance sensor 348 faces the third upright plate 345, the third distance sensor 348 can detect the distance to the third upright plate 345 and send the monitoring data to the touch screen all-in-one machine 9, so that the device can accurately control the distance of the fourth support plate 342 moving back and forth.
[0074] The storage box 61 in the placement mechanism 6 can be installed on one side of the top surface of the transfer mechanism 3 and can also provide a mounting base for the placement rack 62. The placement rack 62 allows users to conveniently place multiple welding rods vertically, which serves both to store the welding rods and to facilitate the automatic robotic arm 35 to grasp them. The bracket 8 can be fixed to one side of the workbench 1 and can also provide support for the camera 7 and the touch screen all-in-one machine 9, thereby improving the stability of both.
