[0002] The spot welding machine adopts the principle of double-sided and double-point overcurrent welding. During operation, two electrodes press on the workpiece, causing a certain contact resistance to form between the two layers of metal under the pressure of the two electrodes. When the welding current flows through the electrodes and then through the other electrode, instantaneous hot melting connection is formed at the two contact resistance points. Moreover, the welding current instantaneously forms a loop from the other electrode along the two workpieces and flows to this electrode, and it will not damage the internal structure of the workpiece to be welded.

[0003] After retrieval, the Chinese patent publication number is CN220560651U, which discloses a limiting structure for spot welding machine workpieces. By the rotational force of rotating the rotating block and the cooperation of components such as the fixing plate, threaded rod, and suction cup inside the clamping device, the effect of clamping and stabilizing the workpiece to be spot welded by rotating the threaded rod is achieved, and the wear degree of the workpiece to be spot welded is reduced, the range of workpieces that can be clamped is enhanced, resource consumption is reduced, and work efficiency is improved.

[0004] However, during the use of the above patent, the positions of the two fixing plates are fixed. Therefore, when welding larger workpieces, the clamping device cannot be clamped at the center of the workpiece, and the clamping stability of the workpiece will decrease, and there will be a shaking situation during the welding process, resulting in a decrease in welding quality.

[0023] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0024] As Figures 1 - 4 shown, a limiting structure for a spot welding machine workpiece includes a base 1. A plurality of support columns 101 are welded to the bottom of the base 1. The bottom of the support column 101 is connected by screws with a rubber pad for increasing friction. A fixed column 102 is welded to the top of the base 1. A welding mechanism is arranged on the top of the base 1. A first adjustment mechanism is installed on the top of the fixed column 102. The first adjustment mechanism includes two moving blocks 203. Second adjustment mechanisms are arranged on the tops of the two moving blocks 203. A clamping mechanism is installed in the second adjustment mechanism.

[0025] The first adjustment mechanism includes a mounting plate 201. The mounting plate 201 is connected to the top of the fixed column 102 by bolts. A bidirectional lead screw 202 is mounted on the top of the mounting plate 201 through a bearing seat. A moving block 203 is threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 202. A rectangular groove 204 is formed in the top of the mounting plate 201, and the moving block 203 is slidably connected in the rectangular groove 204. By rotating the turntable to rotate the bidirectional lead screw 202, the two moving blocks 203 are driven to move, thereby driving the two groups of second adjustment mechanisms to move, realizing the adjustment of the clamping length. The second adjustment mechanism includes a mounting box 301. The mounting box 301 is connected to the top of the moving block 203 by screws. The mounting box 301 is a cuboid box made of aluminum alloy. A second lead screw 302 is rotatably connected in the mounting box 301 through a bearing. A threaded plate 303 is threadedly connected to the second lead screw 302. Sliding grooves 305 are formed in the upper and lower sides of the mounting box 301, and the threaded plate 303 is slidably connected in the sliding grooves 305. Connecting plates 304 are connected to the upper and lower sides of the threaded plate 303 by bolts. By rotating the turntable to rotate the second lead screw 302, the threaded plate 303 is driven to move along the sliding grooves 305, thereby driving the connecting plates 304 to move, and then driving the clamping mechanism to move, realizing the adjustment of the clamping width to adapt to the size of the workpiece. And through the respective adjustments of the two groups of second adjustment mechanisms, the clamping widths at both ends can be independently adjusted, so as to clamp workpieces with unequal widths at the clamping ends.

[0026] The clamping mechanism includes a threaded block 401. The threaded block 401 is welded in the connecting plate 304 located above the threaded plate 303. A threaded rod 402 is threadedly connected in the threaded block 401. A moving suction cup 403 is connected to the bottom of the threaded rod 402 by bolts. A fixed suction cup 404 is connected to the connecting plate 304 located at the bottom of the threaded plate 303 by bolts. Place the workpiece to be welded on the top of the fixed suction cup 404. By rotating the turntable, the threaded rod 402 is driven to rotate and move downward, thereby driving the moving suction cup 403 to move downward, and then reducing the distance between the moving suction cup 403 and the fixed suction cup 404, realizing the clamping and limiting of the workpiece.

[0027] The welding mechanism includes a fixed seat 501. The fixed seat 501 is connected to the top of the base 1 by bolts.

By the movement of the first robotic arm 502 and the second robotic arm 505, the first electrode 503 and the second electrode 506 are driven to move, realizing the welding of the workpiece.

[0028] Working principle: During use, the two-way lead screw 202 is rotated by the turntable, thereby driving the movement of two moving blocks 203, and then driving the movement of two groups of second adjustment mechanisms to achieve adjustment of the clamping length. Then, the second lead screw 302 is rotated by the turntable to drive the threaded plate 303 to move along the sliding groove 305, thereby driving the movement of the connecting plate 304, and then driving the movement of the clamping mechanism to achieve adjustment of the clamping width to adapt to the size of the workpiece. Moreover, through the respective adjustments of the two groups of second adjustment mechanisms, independent adjustment of the clamping widths at both ends can be achieved, so as to clamp workpieces with unequal widths at the clamping ends. Then, the workpiece to be welded is placed on the top of the fixed suction cup 404. By rotating the turntable, the threaded rod 402 is driven to rotate and move downward, thereby driving the moving suction cup 403 to move downward, and then reducing the distance between the moving suction cup 403 and the fixed suction cup 404 to achieve clamping and limiting of the workpiece. Then, through the movement of the first robotic arm 502 and the second robotic arm 505, the first electrode 503 and the second electrode 506 are driven to move to achieve welding of the workpiece.
