[0030] Refer to Figures 1-5 As shown in the figure, a cage 2002 is installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 2001, and a cylinder 2003 is installed at the top of the mounting frame 2001. The output end of the cylinder 2003 penetrates through the mounting frame 2001 and a piston rod 2004 is installed. One end of the piston rod 2004 extends outside the cage 2002 and is fixedly connected to the top of the laser welding gun 2005. A pair of fixing plates 3001 are respectively arranged on both sides of the mounting frame 2001, and the bottoms of the pair of fixing plates 3001 are fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1002.

[0031] Specifically, the working principle of the welding equipment for heat exchanger production: When in use, first start the second motor 1017 to rotate the worm 1016, drive the worm wheel 1005 to rotate forward, rotate the transmission shaft 1004 and drive a pair of screw rods 1007 to rotate, so that the moving frame 1008 and the clamping plate 1010 completely move out of the workbench 1002 under the rotation of the screw rods 1007 and the sliding of the slide rods 1006, and move away from the fixed plate 3001 and the moving plate 3003. Then start the automatic push rod 3002 to push the moving plate 3003 to move upward. Then place the tube bodies of two tubular heat exchangers to be welded on the fixed plate 3001. Under the action of the automatic push rod 3002, the moving plate 3003 returns to its original position to fix the tube bodies of the tubular heat exchanger. When the worm wheel 1005 rotates in reverse, the transmission shaft 1004 rotates in reverse to drive a pair of screw rods 1007 to rotate in reverse, so that the moving frame 1008 slowly moves into the workbench 1002 under the rotation of the screw rods 1007 and the sliding of the slide rods 1006. At the same time, a pair of turntables 1012 will clamp a pair of tube bodies of the tubular heat exchanger. Then start the telescopic rod 1013 to push the clamping plate 1014 to fit against the outside of the tube body of the tubular heat exchanger. By starting the cylinder 2003, push the piston rod 2004 and the laser welding gun 2005 to make the laser welding gun 2005 move downward and approach the connection welding part of the tube body of the tubular heat exchanger. At the same time, start the first motor 1011 to make a pair of turntables 1012 rotate simultaneously and synchronously in the same direction, so that the connection parts of a pair of tubular heat exchangers are circularly welded under the action of the laser welding gun 2005.

[0032] It should be noted that for a welding equipment for heat exchanger production, the specific model specifications of the first motor 1011, the telescopic rod 1013, the second motor 1017, the cylinder 2003, the laser welding gun 2005 and the automatic push rod 3002 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device, etc. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be elaborated in detail.

[0033] For a welding equipment for heat exchanger production, the power supply and its principle of the first motor 1011, the telescopic rod 1013, the second motor 1017, the cylinder 2003, the laser welding gun 2005 and the automatic push rod 3002 are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here.
