[0026] Working principle: When welding work is required, the workpiece is placed in the mold 2, and then the motor 3 is started. The motor 3 will drive the rotating plate 4 to rotate, thereby driving the arc plate 5 to rotate, and then push the movable plate 6 to move. Through the fixed connection between the movable plate 6 and the sliding block 7, the sliding block 7 will slide on the slide rail 8. At the same time, through the fixed connection between the movable plate 6 and the clamping plate 9, the movable plate 6 will drive the clamping plate 9 to move together. Similarly, the four clamping plates 9 will be driven by the four movable plates 6 to move toward the center of the support plate 10, thereby clamping the workpiece on the support plate 10 to prevent accidental movement or deviation from the predetermined position during the processing, which helps to avoid processing deviations and errors and ensure the controllability and stability of the processing process.

[0027] When the welding parts need to be disassembled, the two moving rods 17 are pulled outward at the same time. Through the fixed connection between the moving rod 17 and the block 18, the moving rod 17 will drive the block 18 to be pulled outward when it moves. At this time, the sliding plate 15 is rotated until the sliding plate 15 passes through the groove 14. At this time, the welding head 16 can be replaced. By replacing the welding head 16, the downtime, maintenance cost, production quality and space saving can be reduced. Then, the sliding plate 15 is put back into the mounting plate 13 through the groove 14, and the moving rod 17 is pulled again. Then, the sliding plate 15 is rotated to put the block 18 into the sliding plate 15. Finally, the sliding plate 15 is squeezed by the elastic potential energy generated by the spring 19 to improve stability.
