Uprights are the most basic load-bearing components of shelving, directly affecting the safety of the shelving structure and its economic efficiency. Currently, the welding of shelving beams and uprights is generally done manually, which is labor-intensive for workers but inefficient. Using advanced welding robots or CNC equipment would be very expensive, making automated welding devices too costly and uncompetitive in the market. Summary of the Invention

[0020] The above-mentioned technical solutions of the shelving column welding equipment provided in the embodiments of the present invention have at least one of the following technical effects:
[0021] The shelving upright welding equipment of this invention is composed of a mounting frame, a rotating shelf, a base plate welding device, an upper welding device, and a lower welding device. The base plate welding device is equipped with a lifting mechanism, which is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame. A rotating mechanism is fixedly mounted on the lifting end of the lifting mechanism, with its rotating end adjacent to one end of the rotating shelf. The base plate welding device is fixedly mounted on the rotating end of the rotating mechanism. The rotating end of the rotating mechanism drives the base plate welding device to rotate, changing the welding end of the base plate welding device and thus its vertical position. The rotating shelf is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame, and two mounting positions are provided on the rotating shelf, located on opposite sides of the rotating shelf. One side is used for loading, and the other side is used for processing, realizing cyclic loading and unloading processing. Both the upper and lower welding devices are slidably mounted on the mounting frame. The upper welding device is located above the rotating rack, and the lower welding device is located below the rotating rack. The first moving device of the upper welding device is slidably mounted on the mounting frame. Two moving modules are installed at the bottom of the first moving device. A rotating mechanism is installed on the moving end of each of the two moving modules. The two moving modules drive the two rotating mechanisms to move closer and further apart. The rotating ends of the two rotating mechanisms are inclined towards each other from top to bottom. A first welding gun is installed on the rotating end of the rotating mechanism. The welding ends of the two first welding guns are close to each other and face the top of the rack column installed on the rotating rack. On both sides of the section, after the first welding torch completes welding, the rotating mechanism rotates the first welding torch to remove the residue on the welding end, preventing it from affecting the welding quality of the next welding process. The second moving device of the lower welding unit is slidably mounted on the mounting frame. The second moving device is equipped with two adjustment mechanisms, and a second welding torch is mounted on the moving end of each of the two adjustment mechanisms. The second moving device controls the second welding torch to move closer to or away from the welding point. The two second welding torches are positioned close to each other from bottom to top. In use, the shelf upright is mounted on the rotating shelf. The rotating shelf rotates, moving the shelf upright to the other side. The first and second moving devices move from one side of the rotating shelf to the other side, and the first and second welding torches move towards each other. Under the control of the moving module and the adjustment mechanism, the welding guns approach the welding positions of the shelf uprights to perform welding. After the first welding gun is completed, the welding gun is rotated by the rotating mechanism to remove the residue on the welding end of the first welding gun. At the same time, the rotating end of the rotating mechanism drives the foot piece welding mechanism to rotate up and down to weld and fix the two foot pieces. Meanwhile, the shelf upright to be welded is assembled on the other side of the rotating shelf. The rotating shelf is rotated to switch the positions of the two shelf uprights to perform welding on another shelf upright. The welded rotating shelf is removed and a new shelf upright to be welded is assembled. The above steps are repeated to achieve a continuous welding cycle. Through the above structural settings, the welding gun welding end residue is automatically cleaned while the cyclic welding is performed. Attached Figure Description
