[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is a V-shaped clamping mechanism, which includes a bracket, a support, a fixed seat and a sliding seat, the sliding seats arranged on both sides of the fixed seat, the sliding seat and the fixed seat arranged in a triangular shape, the sliding seat sliding along the line connecting it and the fixed seat, and the fixed seat and the sliding seat are both provided with transmission wheels, at least one of which is connected to the motor transmission. The fixed seat and the sliding seat are on the same plane, so that all the transmission wheels are also on the same plane. During processing, the transmission wheels support the side wall of the workpiece, and the sliding seat moves with the workpiece, ensuring that the weld seam and the workpiece connection remain consistent, thereby improving the welding quality.

[0005] Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of the movement of the sliding seat, a slide rail is provided on the support, and the slide rail is provided along the connecting line between the fixed seat and the sliding seat, and the sliding seat is provided on the slide rail.

[0006] Furthermore, two transmission wheels are provided on the fixed seat, and the two transmission wheels are symmetrically arranged with the midpoint of the line connecting the two sliding seats as the axis to better position the workpiece.

[0007] Furthermore, a swing shaft is rotatably provided on the bracket, and the support is provided on the swing shaft. The axis of the swing shaft and the connecting line between the sliding seat are in the same direction, so that the angle of the support can be adjusted according to different welding requirements and workpiece specifications, and then the angle and position of the workpiece and the welding gun can be adjusted to meet different processing requirements.

[0008] Furthermore, in order to drive the support to swing and realize self-locking at the same time, a circle of worm gear concentric with it is provided on the swing shaft, and a worm is rotatably provided on the bracket, and the worm and the worm wheel are matched.

[0009] Furthermore, in order to prevent the workpiece from falling, a circle of concentric grooves is provided on the side wall of the transmission wheel.

[0010] Furthermore, the movement mode of the sliding seats is that the two sliding seats move independently.

[0011] Furthermore, the movement mode of the sliding seats is that the two sliding seats move synchronously.

[0012] Furthermore, in order to achieve synchronous movement of the sliding seat, a sliding frame that moves along the guide rail is provided on the support, and the guide rail extends toward one side of the fixed seat. The sliding seat is arranged on both sides of the guide rail. The sliding frame is provided with a long hole in the same direction as the line connecting the sliding seats, and the sliding seat is provided with a roller, which is located in the long hole.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: a workpiece is placed in the space enclosed by the fixed seat and the sliding seat, and then the sliding seat moves toward the workpiece, causing the drive wheels on the fixed seat and the sliding seat to press against the side walls of the workpiece. The drive wheels then drive the workpiece to rotate, thereby completing welding and other processing. During processing, the sliding seat moves with the side walls of the workpiece, ensuring that the weld seam and the workpiece connection are consistent, thereby improving welding quality.

[0022] The fixed seat 3 and the sliding seat 4 are both provided with a transmission wheel 5. The transmission wheels 5 on the fixed seat 3 and the sliding seat 4 are arranged relative to each other. In order to better fix the workpiece, in this embodiment, a circle of concentric grooves is provided on the side wall of the transmission wheel 5. The cross-section of the groove can be U-shaped, V-shaped, etc. If the transmission wheel 5 adopts a V-shaped wheel, at least one transmission wheel 5 is connected to the motor 6 for transmission. In this embodiment, the sliding seat 4 and the fixed seat 3 are both provided with a motor 6 for driving the transmission wheel 5, and the axis of the transmission wheel 5 is perpendicular to the upper end face of the support 2.

[0023] The fixed seat 3 is provided with two transmission wheels, which are symmetrically arranged with the midpoint of the line connecting the two sliding seats as the axis.

[0024] Specific working process: the staff places the workpiece between the fixed seat 3 and the sliding seat 4, then one staff member temporarily fixes the workpiece and clamps the edge of the workpiece into the slot of the transmission wheel 5 on the fixed seat 3, and then another staff member operates the cylinder to move the sliding seat 4 toward the workpiece, so that the edge of the workpiece is clamped into the slot of the transmission wheel 5 on the sliding seat 4.

[0025] After the workpiece is fixed, the motor 6 is turned on to drive the transmission wheel 5 to rotate. The transmission wheel 5 drives the workpiece to rotate, thereby facilitating welding and other processing.
