The computer controls the clamping hydraulic telescopic rod 2-1 to continue to shrink a specific distance and then stop, so that the first section of the small-diameter tube 12 and the second section of the small-diameter tube 7 are connected. After the clamping hydraulic telescopic rod 2-1 stops shrinking, the computer controls the welding hydraulic telescopic rod 10-1 to shrink a given distance and then stop, so that the welding robot arm 9 enters the working area. After the welding hydraulic telescopic rod 10-1 stops shrinking, the computer controls the welding robot arm 9 to start welding. After welding is completed, the welding robot arm 9 stops working. The computer controls the welding hydraulic telescopic rod 10-1 to extend a given distance, and at the same time controls the clamping hydraulic telescopic rod 5-1 to shrink a given distance, controls the clamping robot arm 3 to release the small-diameter tube 12, and controls the clamping hydraulic telescopic rod 2-1 to extend. When the clamping slider 2-3 hits the contact sensor 2-4, the contact sensor 2-4 transmits a signal to the computer, and the computer controls the clamping hydraulic telescopic rod 2-1 to stop extending.
