[0022] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the directions or positional relationships indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inside", "outside", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. The above description is simplified for the convenience of describing the present invention, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, it should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0023] The following will describe exemplary embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the present application can be presented in a variety of different ways and is not limited to the embodiments described below. It should also be understood that the embodiments disclosed herein can be combined in various ways to provide more additional embodiments. In all drawings, the same reference numerals represent the same or functionally identical elements.

[0024] refer to Figure 1 A piston rod dust cover welding positioning mechanism is provided, the positioning mechanism is arranged in the upper clamping mechanism 20, and cooperates with the lower clamping mechanism 10 to clamp and fix the shock absorber piston rod 1. The lower clamping mechanism 10 has a groove 11 with an opening upward for placing the dust cover 3, and a round hole 12 is provided at the center of the groove 11 for the piston rod 1 body connection end to penetrate, and the upper and lower ends are positioned by pushing the piston rod 1 into the dust cover 3 through the upper clamping mechanism 20. The upper clamping mechanism 20 is provided with a rotating positioning member 22, which is self-adaptive and introduced into engagement with the end of the piston rod 1 when the upper clamping mechanism 20 approaches the lower end of the piston rod 1.

[0025] Figure 2 and Figure 3The structure of the rotating positioning component is shown. A bearing structure is arranged inside the rotating threaded column 26. The threaded end 26a and the press-fit end 26b are respectively connected to the inner and outer rings of the bearing, so that the threaded end 26a and the press-fit end 26b form a relatively rotatable structure. The upper and lower sides of the press-fit end 26b are enclosed by the upper end cover 23 and the lower end cover 24. Therefore, when the press-fit end 26b rotates relative to the threaded end 26a, the upper end cover 23 and the lower end cover 24 rotate synchronously therewith. The upper part of the lower end cover 24 has a flange 24a extending upward and forming a cylindrical structure enclosed on the circumference around its axis. The outermost side of the upper end cover 23 has an outer edge 23a adapted to the flange 24a and extending downward, and the outer side of the flange 24a is mutually engaged with the outer edge 23a in an interference fit. The press-fitting end 26b is embedded in the cylindrical hole surrounded by the inner side of the flange 24a. A through hole (not shown in the figure) is also provided at the axial position of the upper end cover 23. The inner diameter of the through hole is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the threaded end 26a. The press-fitting end 26b is fixed between the upper end cover 23 and the lower end cover 24. The threaded end 26a extends from the through hole to be connected and fixed with the cylinder body connector 21. The guide positioning sleeve 25 is installed in the mounting hole 24c of the lower end cover 24 and is clamped by the fastener from the outer side of the lower end cover 24 and fixed through the screw hole 24b. The guide positioning sleeve 25 is provided with a positioning groove 25a whose inner contour is similar to the end of the piston rod 1. The positioning groove 25a is connected with the guide groove 25b below. The guide groove 25b is cylindrical, and its bottom radius is larger than the radius of the joint between the top and the positioning groove 25a, so that it is beneficial for the guide positioning sleeve 25 to rotate synchronously when it contacts the end of the piston rod 1 to guide the piston rod 1 into the positioning groove 25a. Preferably, the included angle between the two sides of the guide groove 25b is 31°. Preferably, the guide sleeve 25 is made of nylon.

[0026] Combined with reference Figure 4 and Figure 4 The threaded end 26a is connected to the top cylinder 27 through the cylinder connector 21. The upper clamping mechanism 20 pushes the piston rod 1 downward under the action of the cylinder 27, and the bottom of the dust cover 3 (the dust cover is inverted in the figure) is welded from above by the welding gun 2, which is conducive to the accumulation of the weld bead at the overlap between the dust cover 3 and the piston rod 1 under the influence of gravity.

[0027] The singular forms "a", "an", "said" and "the" used in the specification include plural forms unless clearly indicated.

[0028] In the specification, when an element is said to be "on", "fixed" to, "connected" to, "engaged" to, etc., another element, the element may be directly on, fixed to, connected to, engaged to, or in contact with the other element, or there may be intervening elements. In the specification, when a feature is arranged "adjacent" to another feature, it may mean that the feature has a portion overlapping with the adjacent feature or a portion located above or below the adjacent feature.
