On the other hand, the contact parts of the clamping roller 6 and the support plate 32 are provided with anti-slip extrusion pads, which directly contact the side of the support plate 32 through the anti-slip extrusion pads and limit the position by friction to avoid deformation caused by excessive clamping. A limit frame 26 is provided for sliding at the lower end of the placement plate 3. The clamping roller 6 is in sliding contact with the limit frame 26. A power component is provided between the two limit frames 26 for controlling the movement of the clamping roller 6. The power component includes a first gear 13 rotatably connected to the lower end of the placement plate 3. Both sides of the first gear 13 are meshed with gears that slide with the placement plate 3. The first serrated plate 14 and the two first serrated plates 14 are respectively fixedly connected to the two limit frames 26. A first telescopic member 12 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the welding table 1. A motor 11 is fixedly installed on the end of the first telescopic member 12. The output end of the motor 11 is fixedly connected to one of the first gears 13. Two second telescopic members 23 are provided between the two placement plates 3.

When the support plate 32 needs to be clamped, the support plate 32 is placed between the clamping rollers 6, and the motor 11 is started to control the movement of the two limit frames 26, so that the clamping rollers 6 move to clamp the support plate 32, which can adapt to the clamping of support plates 32 of different widths; A limit assembly is provided between the clamping roller 6 and the placing plate 3 for controlling the corresponding two clamping rollers 6 to rotate in opposite directions.

A limiting opening 27 is opened through one side of the clamping plate 21, and a bolt 18 is provided in the limiting opening 27 for sliding and rotating. During welding, it is used to clamp the support leg 19. Since the support leg 19 is relatively thin, a special clamp is generally not required.

[0023] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the pushing member includes a second gear 31 rotatably connected to the lower end of one of the support seats 8, and second serrated plates 22 slidably connected to the support seat 8 are meshed on both sides of the second gear 31. The two second serrated plates are slidably connected to the two placement plates 3 respectively. According to the scale provided on the clamping plate 21, the middle part of the support leg 19 is clamped on the clamping plate 21. According to the length of the support leg 19, one of the placement plates 3 is moved, and the other placement plate 3 will also be moved to the same position in the opposite direction, which brings convenience to the welding work.
[0024] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the connecting part includes a third gear 15 rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 2, and third serrated plates 16 slidably connected to the slide 7 are meshed on both sides of the third gear 15. The two third serrated plates 16 pass through the slide 7 and are fixedly connected to the two support seats 8 respectively. A scale is provided on the welding table 1. When the clamping roller 6 clamps the support plate 32, the middle position of the support plate 32 is clamped at the first gear 13 according to the scale of the welding table 1. After clamping the support legs 19, when one of the support legs 19 is moved to the welding position of the support plate 32, the other support leg 19 is also moved to another welding position of the support plate 32 at the same time, which facilitates the welding work.
[0025] As a further technical solution of the present invention, an insertion rod 20 is slidably provided on the upper end of one of the support seats 8, and a U-shaped extrusion rod 28 is fixedly provided on the lower end of the insertion rod 20. The two ends of the U-shaped extrusion rod 28 respectively squeeze the mounting plate 2 and the third gear 15, and the two ends of the U-shaped extrusion rod 28 are respectively fixedly provided with anti-slip pads. After the support legs 19 and the support plate 32 are clamped and the positions are adjusted, the bolt 18 is turned to firmly position the support legs 19 and the support plate 32. Example 2:
[0026] See also Figure 8 , different from Example 1, a limiting member is installed at one end of the second gear 31 and the third gear 15. The limiting member consists of a limiting ring 33 and a rotating disk 34 (the outer side of the rotating disk 34 is an elastic ring). The two rotating disks 34 are respectively connected to the second gear 31 and the third gear 15, and the limiting ring 33 is fixedly connected to the support base 8 and the mounting plate 2, so that the second gear 31 and the third gear 15 do not rotate without external force.
[0027] Working principle: During installation, the middle position of the support plate 32 is placed on the first gear 13 according to the scale of the welding table 1, and then the motor 11 is started to drive the first gear 13 connected thereto to rotate, and the first gear 13 drives the first serrated plate 14 to move, and the first serrated plate 14 drives the limit frame 26 to move, and the limit frame 26 pushes the clamping roller 6 to slide in the inclined groove 5 (the clamping roller 6 will pull the rotating rod 25 to slide in the connecting groove 17 during the movement, and the telescopic spring 24 is continuously squeezed to control the conveyor belt 9 to always be in a taut state, so that the two clamping rollers 6 in the corresponding positions are always in a state of rotating in the same direction. During welding, if the support plate 32 is subjected to force, the clamping rollers 6 on both sides give the support plate 32 opposite forces to prevent the support plate 32 from being displaced), and the clamping roller 6 clamps the support plate 32; Then, the middle position of the support leg 19 is placed on the clamping plate 21, and one of the support bases 8 is pushed. When the support base 8 moves, through the cooperation of the third gear 15 and the third serrated plate 16, one of the support legs 19 is moved to the welding position of the support plate 32. At the same time, the other support leg 19 is also moved to another welding position of the support plate 32, which brings convenience to the welding work. Then, one of the placement plates 3 is pulled, and through the cooperation of the second gear 31 and the second serrated plate 22, one of the placement plates 3 is moved, and the other placement plate 3 is also moved to the same position in the opposite direction, which brings convenience to the welding work; Then press the support leg 19 so that its lower end contacts the upper end of the support plate 32, and then press the insertion rod 20 so that the two ends of the U-shaped extrusion rod 28 squeeze the mounting plate 2 and the third gear 15 respectively, and turn the bolt 18 to clamp the support plate 32. At the same time, the bolt 18 is also connected to the insertion rod 20 to limit the insertion rod 20, which can firmly position the position of the support leg 19 and the support plate 32, and then welding work can be carried out. Since it is a batch work, after the first welding is completed, you only need to remove the landing gear, and then continue to place the support leg 19 and the support plate 32. No adjustment is required at other positions. Only when the size of the processed parts is replaced later, it is necessary to adjust the position of the support seat 8 and the placement plate 3.
