[0032] The floor-mounted welding robot workstation is a combination of welding robots, floor rail systems, welding power supply systems, robot moving systems, workstation control systems, and welding tooling and other equipment. The design of this workstation aims to improve welding efficiency and quality. Through the floor rail system, the robot can move freely within the working area to perform multi-station welding tasks. The floor-mounted welding robot workstation is usually applied in fields such as steel structure processing and the welding of H-beam workpieces. By using two robots moving on the same floor rail for multi-station welding, automated welding is achieved, improving production efficiency and product quality. In addition, the floor-mounted welding robot workstation also has high flexibility and adaptability, and can adapt to the welding requirements of workpieces of different sizes and shapes. By adjusting the position of the robot and the configuration of the tooling, diverse welding operations can be realized.

[0033] In the prior art, when mechanically welding some longer steel plates, a positioner is usually used. The positioner is divided into a positioner headstock and a positioner tailstock. Usually, the positioner tailstock is movable, that is, for the convenience of placing the steel plate. However, usually, a second motor or a cylinder is used to push the positioner tailstock, which is likely to cause inaccurate position pushing and the positioner cannot accurately clamp.

[0034] Based on this, in order to improve the technical problem in the related art that the positioner tailstock is prone to inaccurate position pushing and the positioner cannot accurately clamp, the embodiments of the present application provide the following solutions.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the embodiments of the present application provide a floor-mounted welding robot workstation, including a first base 10 and a second base 20 arranged on one side of the first base 10. The first base 10 is installed with a welding machine body 11 through a floor rail mechanism 30.

The threaded sleeve 42 is rotatably sleeved on the screw rod 41 through threads and is connected to the positioner tailstock 21 through an installation assembly 50. A plurality of the driving mechanisms 40 are arranged on both sides of the positioner tailstock 21.

[0037] As can be seen from the above, when it is necessary to move the tailstock 21 of the positioner, the screw 41 is rotated to drive the threaded sleeve 42 to move along the length direction of the second base 20, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the distance between the tailstock 21 and the headstock 22 of the positioner; therefore, the tailstock 21 of the positioner is driven by the screw 41; the screw 41 drive is widely used in places where high precision requirements are needed. Its main advantages are as follows: it has a self-locking performance in the transmission direction, which can prevent the load from rotating; the transmission accuracy is high, generally within 0.1 mm; the transmission is stable, and there is almost no impact and vibration.

[0041] With such a setting, during the sliding process of the threaded sleeve 42, the slide bar 421 is slidably installed in the chute 23, making it difficult for the slide bar 421 to shake. The convex part of the side wall of the slide bar 421 is slidably fitted with the concave part of the inner wall of the chute 23, making it difficult for the threaded sleeve 42 to loosen during the sliding process, making the movement of the threaded sleeve 42 stable, and there is almost no impact and vibration.

[0042] Optionally, in some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 3 , the ground rail mechanism 30 includes a fixed frame 31, a first motor 32, a gear 33 and a rack 34.

The gear 33 is rotatably installed on the fixed frame 31 and is connected to the output end of the first motor 32. The rack 34 is arranged on the first base 10, and the gear 33 meshes with the rack 34.

[0043] With such a setting, when it is necessary to move the welding machine body 11, the first motor 32 is started, the gear 33 rotates, the gear 33 meshes with the rack 34, so that the gear 33 moves along the rack 34 and drives the welding machine body 11 to move along the length direction of the first base 10.

[0045] With such a setting, during the movement of the receiving machine body, the limiting strips 12 are slidably attached to the inner walls of the limiting grooves 311, making the movement of the receiving machine body stable with almost no impact and vibration.

[0046] Optionally, in some embodiments, refer to Figures 4 to 5 , the mounting assembly 50 includes a connecting plate 51 and bolts 52. The connecting plate 51 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the tailstock 21 of the positioner, and the connecting plate 51 is fixedly installed on the threaded sleeve 42 through the bolts 52.
