[0003] After searching, the Chinese patent document, announcement number: CN209578629U, discloses a guardrail welding tool for robots. By setting a positioning block on the outer frame or the inner frame, the workpiece is fixed in the groove of the positioning block, and a pressure plate is used to firmly fix the workpiece in the groove. The use of the pressure plate and the positioning block reduces the number of elbow clamps and provides welding space for the robot welding gun.
