The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0045] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0046] The following describes the slide table assembly 100 for the welding station 1000 according to an embodiment of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0047] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the slide table assembly 100 for the welding station 1000 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a slide table 110 and a pressing member 120.

[0048] Among them, the slide table 110 is movably arranged on the support base 900 of the welding station 1000 along a first direction.

[0049] It should be noted that the first direction mentioned here can be understood as the Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown Y direction. That is to say, the welding station 1000 has a support base 900, and the slide table 110 is arranged on the support base 900 and can move relative to the support base 900 along the Y direction, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the slide table 110 on the support base 900.

[0050] In some embodiments, the support base 900 is used to place the workpiece to be welded, so as to place the workpiece to be welded in the welding station 1000, and it is convenient to use the support base 900 to support the workpiece to be welded, improve the position stability of the workpiece to be welded, so as to facilitate welding the workpiece to be welded by the welding tool in the welding station 1000, reduce the welding difficulty, and improve the welding quality.

[0051] Based on this, by setting the slide table 110 to be movable relative to the support base 900 along the Y direction, it is convenient to use the slide table 110 to press and fix the workpiece to be welded at different positions in the first direction, so that the pressing position of the slide table 110 can be adjusted according to the welding position of the welding tool, improve the position stability of the workpiece to be welded during welding by the welding tool, and is beneficial to improving the welding quality of the welding tool.

[0052] In some embodiments, the workpiece to be welded is a battery tray.

[0053] The pressing member 120 is movably disposed on the sliding table 110 along the second direction. In the second direction, the pressing member 120 is oppositely disposed with respect to the workpiece to be welded provided on the support base 900. The pressing member 120 is used to press the workpiece to be welded. When the pressing member 120 moves along the second direction, it rotates synchronously. The second direction intersects with the first direction.

[0054] Among them, the second direction mentioned here can be understood as Figure 1 and Figure 2 the Z direction shown in. That is to say, the pressing member 120 is movably disposed on the sliding table 110 along the Z direction, and during the process of the pressing member 120 moving along the Z direction, the pressing member 120 can rotate synchronously. Since the pressing member 120 and the workpiece to be welded provided on the support base 900 are oppositely disposed in the Z direction, the workpiece to be welded can be pressed by the pressing member 120, the fixing difficulty of the workpiece to be welded is reduced, and the position stability of the workpiece to be welded during welding by the welding tool is improved, which is beneficial to improving the welding quality.

[0055] At the same time, by setting the pressing member 120 to rotate synchronously during the process of moving along the Z direction, the extending direction of the pressing member 120 can be adjusted, so as to facilitate controlling the pressing member 120 to avoid the welding tool, to a certain extent, avoid the pressing member 120 from hindering the welding of the welding tool, reduce the welding difficulty of the workpiece to be welded, and improve the welding quality.

[0056] In addition, by disposing the pressing member 120 on the sliding table 110, while the sliding table 110 is used to support the pressing member 120, the sliding table 110 can also be used to drive the pressing member 120 to move along the first direction, which is convenient for using the pressing member 120 to press and fix the workpiece to be welded at different positions in the first direction. While avoiding the welding tool, the position stability of the workpiece to be welded during welding by the welding tool can also be improved.

[0057] From the above structure, it can be seen that for the sliding table assembly 100 of the welding station 1000 in the embodiment of the present invention, the sliding table 110 is disposed on the support base 900 of the welding station 1000 so as to be movable along the first direction, and the pressing member 120 is disposed on the sliding table 110, which is convenient for using the sliding table 110 to drive the pressing member 120 to move along the first direction, so as to facilitate controlling the pressing member 120 to press and fix the workpiece to be welded at different positions in the first direction. In this way, the pressing position of the pressing member 120 can be adjusted according to the welding position of the welding tool, the position stability of the workpiece to be welded during welding by the welding tool is improved, which is beneficial to improving the welding quality of the welding tool.

[0058] Meanwhile, the pressing member 120 is arranged to rotate synchronously when moving in the second direction. While realizing the pressing of the workpiece to be welded by the pressing member 120, it is also possible to make it convenient to control the rotation of the pressing member 120 relative to the sliding table 110 to avoid the welding tool when the welding tool moves to the position of the pressing member 120 to weld the workpiece to be welded, thereby avoiding the pressing member 120 from hindering the welding of the welding tool to a certain extent, reducing the welding difficulty of the workpiece to be welded, and improving the welding quality.

[0059] That is to say, the sliding table assembly 100 of the present application can not only press the workpiece to be welded, but also adaptively avoid the welding tool.

[0060] It can be understood that compared with the prior art, in the present application, the pressing member 120 is arranged to rotate synchronously when moving in the second direction. While realizing the pressing of the workpiece to be welded by the pressing member 120, it is also convenient to control the rotation of the pressing member 120 relative to the sliding table 110 to avoid the welding tool, avoiding the pressing member 120 from hindering the welding of the welding tool to a certain extent, reducing the welding difficulty of the workpiece to be welded, and improving the welding quality.

[0061] In some embodiments, as shown in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the sliding table 110 includes two vertical columns 112 and a cross beam 111. The two vertical columns 112 are arranged at intervals and are respectively movably arranged on the support base 900 of the welding station 1000 along the first direction. The cross beam 111 is connected to one end of the two vertical columns 112 away from the support base 900 to form the sliding table 110 into a gantry structure, so as to facilitate movably arranging the sliding table 110 on the support base 900.

[0062] Meanwhile, by connecting the cross beam 111 to one end of the two vertical columns 112 away from the support base 900, an avoidance space can be formed between the sliding table 110 and the support base 900. The workpiece to be welded is arranged on the support base 900 and located between the sliding table 110 and the support base 900. While realizing the support of the workpiece to be welded by the support base 900, it can also avoid the workpiece to be welded from hindering the movement of the sliding table 110 to a certain extent, so as to facilitate pressing the workpiece to be welded by the pressing member 120 on the sliding table 110.

[0063] In some embodiments, as shown in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the two vertical columns 112 are arranged at intervals in the third direction, and the cross beam 111 extends along the third direction, so that the opposite ends of the cross beam 111 can be respectively connected to the two vertical columns 112, thereby facilitating the support of the cross beam 111 by the two vertical columns 112, improving the position stability of the cross beam 111, and thus ensuring the working performance of the cross beam 111.

[0064] Among them, the third direction mentioned here can be understood as Figure 1 andFigure 2 The X direction shown in

[0065] In the description of the present utility model, the features defined as "first", "second", "third" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features, which are used to distinguish and describe the features, without order or importance.

[0066] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pressing member 120 is provided on the cross beam 111 and on the side of the cross beam 111 facing the support base 900. In this way, while realizing that the pressing member 120 is arranged on the sliding table 110, the pressing member 120 can be set to face the workpiece to be welded in the second direction, so as to facilitate pressing the workpiece to be welded by the pressing member 120 and reduce the fixing difficulty of the workpiece to be welded.

[0067] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the pressing member 120 is a pressing plate, and a pressing block 122 is provided on the side of the pressing plate facing the workpiece to be welded. By using the pressing block 122 to press the workpiece to be welded, while realizing the pressing and fixing of the workpiece to be welded, the contact area between the pressing member 120 and the workpiece to be welded can also be reduced, so as to avoid damaging the workpiece to be welded by the pressing member 120 to a certain extent.

[0068] Optionally, the pressing block 122 is made of materials such as copper and aluminum.

[0069] In some embodiments, in order to avoid damaging the workpiece to be welded by the pressing member 120, a pressing plate 220 can be assembled on the workpiece to be welded (for the specific structure of the pressing plate 220, see Figure 6 ). By using the pressing plate 220 to first fix the workpiece to be welded on the support base 900, and then using the pressing member 120 to press the pressing plate 220, it is also possible to realize pressing and fixing the workpiece to be welded by the pressing member 120.

[0070] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 , a rubber pad 221 is provided on the side of the pressing plate 220 facing the workpiece to be welded. In this way, when the workpiece to be welded is fixed on the support base 900 by using the pressing plate 220, a rubber pad 221 can be arranged between the pressing plate 220 and the workpiece to be welded, so as to avoid damaging the workpiece to be welded by the pressing plate 220 to a certain extent.

[0071] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a weight-reducing hole 121 is provided on the pressing member 120. The weight-reducing hole 121 is used to reduce the weight of the pressing member 120, so as to facilitate controlling the movement of the pressing member 120 along the second direction and synchronous rotation, and reduce the movement difficulty of the pressing member 120.

[0072] Meanwhile, the weight-reducing holes 121 can also reduce the material used for the pressing member 120 and lower the production cost of the pressing member 120.

[0073] Optionally, as Figure 4 shown, the pressing member 120 is provided with a plurality of weight-reducing holes 121. The plurality of weight-reducing holes 121 are spaced along the length direction of the pressing member 120. The cooperation of the plurality of weight-reducing holes 121 can effectively reduce the weight of the pressing member 120 and lower the production cost of the pressing member 120.

[0074] In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more.

[0075] In some embodiments, the pressing member 120 has a first state of pressing the workpiece to be welded and a second state of releasing the workpiece to be welded. In the first state, the pressing member 120 is used to press the workpiece to be welded; in the second state, the extending direction of the pressing member 120 is consistent with the extending direction of the cross beam 111 of the sliding table 110, and in the second direction, the pressing member 120 faces the cross beam 111. It can be understood here that by setting the pressing member 120 to rotate synchronously during the movement along the second direction, the pressing member 120 can have the first state of pressing the workpiece to be welded and the second state of releasing the workpiece to be welded, so that the pressing member 120 can not only press the workpiece to be welded, but also adaptively avoid the welding tool, reduce the welding difficulty of the workpiece to be welded, and improve the welding quality.

[0076] It should be noted that Figure 3 the two pressing members 120 shown in

[0077] are respectively schematic diagrams of the pressing member 120 in the first state and the second state. Among them, the pressing member 120 close to the sliding table 110 is a schematic diagram of the pressing member 120 in the second state, and the pressing member 120 far from the sliding table 110 is a schematic diagram of the pressing member 120 in the first state. Figure 3

[0078] Figure 3 It can be seen from Figure 3 that in the second state, the extending direction of the pressing member 120 is consistent with the extending direction of the cross beam 111 of the sliding table 110, and the pressing member 120 faces the cross beam 111 of the sliding table 110 in the second direction. In this way, the pressing member 120 can be hidden under the cross beam 111 of the sliding table 110, so as to realize controlling the pressing member 120 to avoid the welding tool, and to a certain extent, avoid the pressing member 120 from hindering the welding of the welding tool and reduce the welding difficulty of the workpiece to be welded.

[0078] Meanwhile, it can be seen from Figure 3 that in the first state, the extending direction of the pressing member 120 intersects with the extending direction of the cross beam 111 of the sliding table 110, so as to facilitate using the pressing member 120 to press the workpiece to be welded, reduce the pressing difficulty of the workpiece to be welded, thereby improving the position stability of the workpiece to be welded and facilitating the welding of the workpiece to be welded.

[0079] In some embodiments, at least two pressing plates 220 are provided on the support base 900. The at least two pressing plates 220 are spaced apart in the first direction, and the at least two pressing plates 220 cooperate to simultaneously press the workpiece to be welded, so as to improve the pressing effect of the pressing plates 220, thereby improving the position stability of the workpiece to be welded.

[0080] Meanwhile, by setting the pressing member 120 to extend in the first direction in the first state, it is convenient to use the pressing member 120 to simultaneously press and fix the at least two pressing plates 220. While reducing the pressing difficulty of the workpiece to be welded, the number of pressing members 120 can also be reduced, thereby simplifying the structure of the sliding table assembly 100 and reducing the assembly difficulty and manufacturing cost of the sliding table assembly 100.

[0081] That is to say, in the present application, by setting the pressing member 120 to rotate synchronously during the process of moving in the second direction, while realizing the simultaneous pressing and fixing of the at least two pressing plates 220 by the pressing member 120, it can also avoid the pressing member 120 from obstructing the welding of the welding tool to a certain extent.

[0082] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the sliding table assembly 100 further includes a first driving member 130. The first driving member 130 is provided on the sliding table 110, and the pressing member 120 is connected to the first driving member 130. The first driving member 130 is used to drive the pressing member 120 to move in the second direction and control the pressing member 120 to rotate synchronously when moving. Thereby enabling the pressing member 120 to effectively move relative to the sliding table 110 in the second direction, and enabling the pressing member 120 to rotate synchronously when moving in the second direction, so as to facilitate using the pressing member 120 to press the workpiece to be welded and avoid the welding tool, reducing the control difficulty of the pressing member 120.

[0083] Wherein, by providing the first driving member 130 on the sliding table 110, it is possible to support the first driving member 130 by the sliding table 110. While reducing the fixing difficulty of the first driving member 130, the position stability of the first driving member 130 can also be improved, so as to ensure the working performance of the first driving member 130 to a certain extent.

[0084] In some embodiments, an installation cavity is provided in the cross beam 111 of the sliding table 110, and at least a part of the first driving member 130 is arranged in the installation cavity. While realizing the arrangement of the first driving member 130 on the sliding table 110, the sliding table 110 can also be used to protect the first driving member 130 and extend the service life of the first driving member 130.

[0085] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the pressing member 120 is connected to the first driving member 130 through a connecting pin 180, so that the pressing member 120 can swing around the connecting pin 180. In this way, when the pressing member 120 presses and fixes at least two pressing plates 220 simultaneously, the height difference of at least two pressing plates 220 can be accommodated, so as to improve the pressing effect of the pressing member 120 on the pressing plates 220.

[0086] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are multiple pressing members 120 and multiple first driving members 130. The multiple pressing members 120 are arranged at intervals along the third direction on the sliding table 110. The first driving members 130 correspond to the pressing members 120 one by one. The third direction intersects with the first direction and the second direction. Herein, the so-called third direction can be understood as the Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown X direction in, that is, the extending direction of the cross beam 111. The one-to-one correspondence between the first driving members 130 and the pressing members 120 means that each first driving member 130 is correspondingly connected to a pressing member 120. In this way, each pressing member 120 can be controlled by a separate first driving member 130, reducing the control difficulty of the pressing member 120.

[0087] Through the above settings, on the one hand, multiple pressing members 120 can be used in cooperation to simultaneously press the workpiece to be welded, improving the position stability of the workpiece to be welded. On the other hand, when one of the pressing members 120 switches to the second state to avoid the workpiece to be welded during welding, the workpiece to be welded can be pressed by other pressing members 120, effectively ensuring the position stability of the workpiece to be welded during welding and reducing the welding difficulty.

[0088] In a specific example, when the welding tool moves along the third direction and the pressing member 120 is arranged opposite to the welding tool in the third direction, the pressing member 120 can be sequentially switched to the second state to avoid the welding tool.

[0089] In a certain embodiment, when one of the pressing members 120 switches to the second state to avoid the welding tool, the other pressing members 120 are all in the first state to press the workpiece to be welded, so that the sliding table assembly 100 still has the function of pressing the workpiece to be welded during the process of avoiding the welding tool, improving the position stability of the workpiece to be welded.

[0090] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the first driving member 130 includes a housing 131, a first output shaft 132, and a second output shaft 133. The first output shaft 132 is fixedly connected within the housing 131 and extends along a second direction. One end of the second output shaft 133 is connected to the first output shaft 132 through a first guiding member 134, so that the second output shaft 133 can rotate synchronously when moving along the second direction. The other end of the second output shaft 133 extends out of the housing 131 and is connected to the pressing member 120. Thus, the cooperative connection between the first driving member 130 and the pressing member 120 is achieved, facilitating the use of the first driving member 130 to drive the pressing member 120 to move and reducing the difficulty of moving the pressing member 120.

[0091] Among them, by setting the first driving member 130 to include the housing 131 and fixedly connecting the first output shaft 132 within the housing 131, it is possible to support and protect the first output shaft 132 using the housing 131, extend the service life of the first output shaft 132, improve the position stability of the first output shaft 132, and thus improve the working performance of the first output shaft 132.

[0092] Meanwhile, by setting the first output shaft 132 to extend along the second direction and connecting one end of the second output shaft 133 to the first output shaft 132 through the first guiding member 134, when controlling the second output shaft 133 to move along the extension direction of the first output shaft 132, it is possible to control the pressing member 120 to move along the second direction, facilitating the use of the pressing member 120 to press the workpiece to be welded and reducing the control difficulty of the pressing member 120.

[0093] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5As shown, the first guide member 134 includes a guide groove 1341 and guide balls 1342. The guide balls 1342 are movably disposed in the guide groove 1341. One of the guide groove 1341 and the guide balls 1342 is disposed on the first output shaft 132, and the other is disposed on the second output shaft 133. The guide groove 1341 extends in the second direction and at least a part of the guide groove 1341 extends circumferentially along the first output shaft 132 or the second output shaft 133. Here, it means that when the guide balls 1342 are disposed on the first output shaft 132, the guide groove 1341 is disposed on the second output shaft 133 and at least a part of the guide groove 1341 extends circumferentially along the second output shaft 133; correspondingly, when the guide balls 1342 are disposed on the second output shaft 133, the guide groove 1341 is disposed on the first output shaft 132 and at least a part of the guide groove 1341 extends circumferentially along the first output shaft 132. In this way, when the second output shaft 133 moves relative to the first output shaft 132, the guide balls 1342 can be driven to move along the extension path of the guide groove 1341. Since the guide groove 1341 extends in the second direction and at least a part of the guide groove 1341 extends circumferentially along the first output shaft 132 or the second output shaft 133, the cooperation between the guide balls 1342 and the guide groove 1341 can drive the pressing member 120 to move in the second direction and rotate synchronously, which is convenient for controlling the rotation of the pressing member 120 relative to the slide table 110 to avoid the welding tool.

[0094] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, the guide balls 1342 are disposed on the second output shaft 133, and the guide groove 1341 is disposed on the first output shaft 132 and at least a part of the guide groove 1341 extends circumferentially along the first output shaft 132, so as to drive the pressing member 120 to rotate synchronously when moving in the second direction by the cooperation of the guide balls 1342 and the guide groove 1341, and reduce the control difficulty of the pressing member 120.

[0095] Of course, in some other embodiments, the guide balls 1342 can also be disposed on the first output shaft 132, and the guide groove 1341 is disposed on the second output shaft 133 and at least a part of the guide groove 1341 extends circumferentially along the second output shaft 133. In this way, the cooperation between the guide balls 1342 and the guide groove 1341 can also drive the pressing member 120 to rotate synchronously when moving in the second direction.

[0096] In some embodiments, as Figure 5As shown, one end of the second output shaft 133 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first output shaft 132. Thus, when the guiding groove 1341 is provided on the first output shaft 132, the guiding groove 1341 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the first output shaft 132 and extends along the circumferential direction of the first output shaft 132; when the guiding groove 1341 is provided on the second output shaft 133, the guiding groove 1341 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the second output shaft 133 and extends along the circumferential direction of the second output shaft 133, so as to facilitate the guiding cooperation between the guiding groove 1341 and the guiding ball 1342.

[0097] In some embodiments, both the guiding ball 1342 and the guiding groove 1341 include a plurality of them, and the plurality of guiding grooves 1341 and the plurality of guiding balls 1342 correspond to each other one by one, which can increase the matching strength between the first output shaft 132 and the second output shaft 133. Thus, when the guiding ball 1342 and the guiding groove 1341 cooperate, it can effectively drive the pressing member 120 to rotate synchronously when moving along the second direction, and to a certain extent, ensure the working performance of the pressing member 120.

[0098] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, the first guiding member 134 further includes an elastic member 1343, and the elastic member 1343 is used to drive the guiding ball 1342 to move towards the guiding groove 1341, so that the guiding ball 1342 can effectively cooperate in the guiding groove 1341, and thus the guiding ball 1342 can effectively move along the extending direction of the guiding groove 1341, realizing the guiding cooperation between the guiding ball 1342 and the guiding groove 1341, so as to facilitate controlling the synchronous rotation of the second output shaft 133 when moving along the second direction and reducing the control difficulty of the pressing member 120.

[0099] Wherein, the elastic member 1343 mentioned here can be a spring, a rubber member, etc.

[0100] It should be noted that since the present application uses the cooperation between the guiding ball 1342 and the guiding groove 1341 to guide the synchronous rotation of the pressing member 120 when moving along the second direction, by providing a weight-reducing hole 121 on the pressing member 120 to reduce the weight of the pressing member 120, the wear between the guiding ball 1342 and the guiding groove 1341 can also be reduced, so as to extend the service life of the guiding ball 1342 and the guiding groove 1341.

[0101] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the sliding table assembly 100 further includes a buffer member 140. The buffer member 140 is disposed on the sliding table 110 and is close to the pressing member 120. The buffer member 140 is used for buffer cooperation with the pressing member 120 when the pressing member 120 switches from the first state to the second state, so as to limit the pressing member 120 in the second state. Thus, the position of the pressing member 120 is accurate, so that the pressing member 120 can effectively switch between the first state and the second state, and when the pressing member 120 switches to the second state, it can be disposed opposite to the cross beam 111 of the sliding table 110 in the second direction, so as to hide the pressing member 120 under the cross beam 111 of the sliding table 110, thereby realizing the control of the pressing member 120 to avoid the welding tool.

[0102] Wherein, the buffer member 140 mentioned here can be composed of structures such as a buffer spring, a piston rod and a buffer head, so as to ensure the buffer effect of the buffer member 140.

[0103] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sliding table assembly 100 further includes a second driving member 150 and a second guiding member 160. The second driving member 150 is connected to the sliding table 110 to drive the sliding table 110 to move in the first direction. The second guiding member 160 is connected to the sliding table 110 and the support base 900. The second guiding member 160 is used for guiding the movement of the sliding table 110 in the first direction. Thus, the sliding table 110 is movably disposed on the support base 900 of the welding station 1000 in the first direction, so as to facilitate pressing and fixing the workpiece to be welded at different positions in the first direction by using the sliding table 110, improving the position stability of the workpiece to be welded during welding by the welding tool, and being beneficial to improving the welding quality of the welding tool.

[0104] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second driving member 150 includes a driving motor 151, a driving lead screw 152 and a driving nut 153. The driving motor 151 is disposed on the support base 900. The output end of the driving motor 151 is connected to the driving lead screw 152. The driving lead screw 152 extends in the first direction. The driving nut 153 is movably disposed on the driving lead screw 152 and the driving nut 153 is connected to the sliding table 110. In this way, the driving motor 151 can be used to drive the driving lead screw 152 to rotate. During the rotation of the driving lead screw 152, the driving nut 153 moves along the extension direction of the driving lead screw 152, that is, moves in the first direction, and further drives the sliding table 110 to move in the first direction, reducing the moving difficulty of the sliding table 110.

[0105] Among them, by arranging the driving motor 151 on the support base 900, it is possible to support the driving motor 151 by using the support base 900. While reducing the difficulty of fixing the driving motor 151, the position stability of the driving motor 151 can also be improved, thereby ensuring the working performance of the driving motor 151 to a certain extent.

[0106] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 one end of the driving lead screw 152 is connected to the driving motor 151, and the other end is connected to the support base 900. The driving lead screw 152 is spaced from the support base 900. While improving the position stability of the driving lead screw 152, it is also possible to make the driving nut 153 provided on the driving lead screw 152 be spaced from the support base 900, so that the driving nut 153 can effectively move along the driving lead screw 152, reducing the difficulty of moving the sliding table 110.

[0107] In some embodiments, the driving motor 151 is a rotary motor, and the output end of the rotary motor is connected to the driving lead screw 152 to drive the driving lead screw 152 to rotate by using the driving motor 151, and then drive the driving nut 153 to move along the extension direction of the driving lead screw 152, so as to achieve the purpose of driving the sliding table 110 to move in the first direction by using the driving motor 151, reducing the difficulty of moving the sliding table 110.

[0108] It should be noted that the above-mentioned second driving member 150 is described by including the driving motor 151, the driving lead screw 152, and the driving nut 153. In some other embodiments, the second driving member 150 can also be formed in the form of a driving motor 151, a moving rack, and a rotating gear, or the driving motor 151 is formed as a linear motor, and the output end of the linear motor is connected to the sliding table 110 to directly drive the sliding table 110 to move in the first direction by using the driving motor 151.

[0109] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 the second driving member 150 includes two groups, and the two groups of second driving members 150 are spaced along the third direction. The two groups of second driving members 150 cooperate to drive the sliding table 110 to move, so that the sliding table 110 can effectively move in the first direction.

[0110] At the same time, by arranging the two groups of second driving members 150 to be spaced along the third direction, it is possible to avoid the workpiece to be welded, so that the workpiece to be welded can be effectively arranged on the support base 900, thereby facilitating the welding of the workpiece to be welded.

[0111] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the second guiding member 160 includes a guide rail 161 and a slider 162. The guide rail 161 extends in the first direction. The slider 162 is movably disposed on the guide rail 161 and the slider 162 is connected to the slide table 110. Thus, when the second driving member 150 drives the slide table 110 to move in the first direction, the slider 162 can be driven to move along the extending direction of the guide rail 161, so as to realize restricting the moving direction of the slide table 110 by the cooperation of the guide rail 161 and the slider 162, enabling the slide table 110 to move along a predetermined direction, avoiding the position deviation of the slide table 110 during the moving process to a certain extent, improving the position accuracy of the slide table 110, and being beneficial to improving the working performance of the slide table 110.

[0112] In some embodiments, the guide rail 161 is disposed on the support base 900. On the one hand, it can realize supporting the guide rail 161 by the support base 900, improving the position stability of the guide rail 161, and thus improving the working performance of the guide rail 161. On the other hand, it can also realize disposing the slide table 110 on the support base 900 by the guide rail 161, reducing the connection difficulty between the slide table 110 and the support base 900.

[0113] That is to say, the guide rail 161 of the present application can not only guide the movement of the slide table 110, but also realize disposing the slide table 110 on the support base 900.

[0114] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second guiding member 160 includes two groups. The two groups of second guiding members 160 are spaced apart along the third direction. The two groups of second guiding members 160 are arranged such that the slide table 110 can accurately move along the first direction, improving the position accuracy of the slide table 110, and being beneficial to improving the working performance of the slide table 110.

[0115] Meanwhile, by arranging the two groups of second guiding members 160 to be spaced apart along the third direction, it is possible to avoid the workpiece to be welded, so that the workpiece to be welded can be effectively disposed on the support base 900, thus facilitating the welding of the workpiece to be welded.

[0116] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the slide table assembly 100 further includes a dust cover 170. The dust cover 170 is sleeved on the driving lead screw 152 and the guide rail 161 to realize protecting the driving lead screw 152 and the guide rail 161 by the dust cover 170, avoiding the welding slag and waste chips from splashing onto the driving lead screw 152 and the guide rail 161 to a certain extent. While extending the service life of the driving lead screw 152 and the guide rail 161, it can also ensure the working performance of the driving lead screw 152 and the guide rail 161 to a certain extent.

[0117] It should be noted that Figure 1 and Figure 2Only a part of the dust cover 170 is shown.

[0118] In some embodiments, as shown in conjunction with Figure 1 and Figure 2 the dust cover 170 is a telescopic dust cover. In the first direction, there are two dust covers 170, and the two dust covers 170 are respectively arranged on both sides of the slide table 110 in the first direction. One end of the dust cover 170 is fixedly connected to the slide table 110, and the other end is fixedly connected to the support seat 900. When the slide table 110 moves in the first direction, it can drive one end of the dust cover 170 connected thereto to move, thereby realizing the stretching or compression of the dust cover 170, so that the driving lead screw 152 and the guide rail 161 can be effectively protected by the dust cover 170.
