[0040] Specifically, the positioning mechanism 300 includes a first positioning assembly 310, a second positioning assembly 320, a third positioning assembly 330, a fourth positioning assembly 340, a fifth positioning assembly 350, and a sixth positioning assembly 360, wherein the first positioning assembly 310 and the second positioning assembly 320 are used to fix the frame 110 to the support top plate 211, and the first positioning assembly 310 and the second positioning assembly 320 are arranged on the top of the support top plate 211 along the length direction of the support top plate 211, and the bottom end of the frame 110 is located at the first positioning assembly 310. The second positioning assembly 320 is located on the top of the frame 110, and the second positioning assembly 320 can move toward or away from the side of the first positioning assembly 310, that is, the first positioning assembly 310 and the second positioning assembly 320 can be applied to frames 110 of different heights. In this embodiment, when the frame 110 is laid on the support top plate 211 in the horizontal direction, its height direction is the length direction of the support top plate 211, and the third positioning assembly 320 is located on the top of the frame 110. The positioning assembly 330 is used to fix the upper crossbeam 130 to the top of the frame 110, the fourth positioning assembly 340 is used to fix the middle crossbeam 140 to the frame 110, and the sixth positioning assembly 360 is used to fix the bracket 160 to the frame 110.

The two fifth positioning assemblies 350 are respectively used to fix the bracket 160 to the frame 110. The two legs 120 are fixed to the support end plate 212, and the two fifth positioning assemblies 350 are arranged at intervals on both sides of the support end plate 212 along the width direction of the support end plate 212, and the two fifth positioning assemblies 350 can move along the side close to or away from each other to be suitable for two legs 120 with different spacings. The positioning mechanism 300 can realize the sequential positioning of multiple components, effectively utilize the space of the welding platform 210, avoid repeated movement and positioning of each component, and has good applicability to different models of external door frames 100.

[0041] Furthermore, the frame 110 includes two vertical beams 111, two legs 120 are installed at the bottom ends of the two vertical beams 111, an upper crossbeam 130 is installed between the top ends of the two vertical beams 111, a middle crossbeam 140 is installed between the middle parts of the two vertical beams 111, and an electrical box 150 is installed at the top of the bottom ends of the two vertical beams 111. In this embodiment, the top of the bottom end of the vertical beam 111 refers to when the vertical beam 111 is laid horizontally on the supporting top plate 211, and the top of the bottom end of the vertical beam 111 actually refers to the rear side of the bottom end of the vertical beam 111.

[0043] Furthermore, the first positioning assembly 310 includes a first clamping cylinder 311 and a first lining cylinder 312. At least two first clamping cylinders 311 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support top plate 211 near one end of the support end plate 212. The first lining cylinder 312 is located between the two vertical beams 111 and is used to cooperate with the first clamping cylinder 311 to clamp the two vertical beams 111. The distance between the piston rods of at least two first clamping cylinders 311 can be adjusted according to the distance between the outer sides of the two vertical beams 111, and then the two vertical beams 111 are simultaneously driven to move outward by the piston rods at both ends of the first lining cylinder 312 until the outer sides of the two vertical beams 111 are respectively abutted against the piston rods of two or more first clamping cylinders to achieve clamping and fixation of the vertical beams 111. In this embodiment, a total of four first clamping cylinders are provided, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support end plate 212.

[0044] Furthermore, since the legs 120 are vertically connected to the bottom ends of the frame 110, when the two vertical beams 111 are arranged on the support top plate 211 in the horizontal direction, the legs 120 and the vertical beams 111 are welded in the vertical direction, that is, the vertical beams 111 will inevitably be subjected to an upward force. In order to prevent the vertical beams 111 from moving upward, the first positioning assembly 310 also includes a pressure claw 313 and a first clamping cylinder 314 corresponding to the pressure claw 313. The two pressure claws 313 are rotatably arranged on both sides of the support top plate 211. The first clamping cylinder 314 is used to provide power for the rotation of the pressure claw 313.

The first positioning bolt 321a can be inserted into any first positioning screw hole. The movement of the mounting base 321 can drive the displacement of other components on the mounting base plate 321, and the positioning of the mounting base plate 321 can be achieved by cooperating with the first positioning bolt 321a and the first positioning screw hole to prevent it from moving at will. The two first limit seats 322 are respectively located at both ends of the mounting base plate 321, and the top ends of the two vertical beams 111 are located on the mounting base plate 321 and between the two first limit seats 322. The second lining cylinder is located between the two vertical beams 111 and is used to drive the top ends of the two vertical beams 111 to abut against the two first limit seats 322 respectively, that is, when the second lining cylinder is started, it can drive the top ends of the two vertical beams 111 to move outward and cooperate with the two first limit seats 322 to clamp the top ends of the two vertical beams 111.

[0046] Of course, in this embodiment, in order to realize the driving of the mounting base 321 , a driving unit such as a cylinder or a motor may be provided to provide power for the movement of the mounting base 321 .

[0050] Of course, in this embodiment, the displacement of the mounting vertical plate 351 can also be driven by a driving unit such as a cylinder or a motor.

[0051] In order to prevent the installation base plate 321 and the installation vertical plate 351 from being separated from the guide rail, limit plates are provided at both ends of the guide rail to limit the installation base plate 321 and the installation vertical plate 351 from being separated from the guide rail.
