[0028] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] The terms “left,” “right,” “front,” “back,” “up,” and “down” mentioned in the following description are oriented in the viewing direction of the front view.

[0030] In some embodiments, please refer to the accompanying drawings of the specification. Figure 1-Figure 5 , a parts positioning device for an automatic welding machine, comprising a base plate 1,

[0031] The bottom plate 1 is provided with a feeding blocking device 2 for conveying and blocking products and a positioning device 3 for positioning and fixing products;

[0032] The positioning device 3 includes a pushing component 31 for providing driving force, a first positioning component 32 for positioning and fixing the product below, and a second positioning component 33 for positioning and fixing the product above. The first positioning component 32 and the second positioning component 33 are connected to the pushing component 31, and the pushing component 31 is installed on the base plate 1. The pushing component 31 is located in front of the feed blocking device 2, and the second positioning component 33 is located above the first positioning component 32.

[0033] When the parts positioning device of the automatic welding machine is used normally, the two products to be welded are stacked and placed on the left end of the feed blocking device 2 and conveyed to the right. After being blocked at the designated position, the pushing component 31 is started to push the first positioning component 32 and the second positioning component 33 to the right rear. After the first positioning component 32 and the second positioning component 33 respectively fix the lower and upper products accordingly, the automatic welding machine is used for welding. After the welding is completed, the feed blocking device 2 stops blocking and conveys the welded products away, and conveys the unwelded products to the designated position. The above process is repeated to complete the automatic welding. The two products are positioned and fixed respectively by the first positioning component 32 and the second positioning component 33. There is no need to manually place the two products in the corresponding positions for welding, which realizes full automation and reduces labor costs.

[0034] The feeding blocking device 2 includes a conveying component 21 and a blocking component 22 . The conveying component 21 and the blocking component 22 are mounted on the upper end of the base plate 1 , and the blocking component 22 is located behind and to the upper right of the conveying component 21 .

[0035] The conveying component 21 is a conveyor belt conveyor, which consists of a bracket, two conveyor rollers, a conveyor belt and a conveyor motor. The bracket of the conveying component 21 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the base plate 1, and the conveyor belt direction of the conveying component 21 is from left to right.

[0036] The blocking assembly 22 includes a limit frame 221, a first cylinder 222, a limit plate 223, two blocking cylinders 224 and a blocking plate 225. The limit frame 221 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the base plate 1, and the limit frame 221 is located at the rear end of the conveying assembly 21 close to the conveyor belt of the conveying assembly 21. The first cylinder 222 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the limit frame 221, and the output end of the first cylinder 222 is fixedly connected to the limit plate 223. The lower end of the limit plate 223 is slidingly connected to the limit frame 221. The two blocking cylinders 224 are fixedly installed on the upper end of the base plate 1.

[0037] When the parts positioning device of the automatic welding machine is used normally, two products are stacked to the left end of the conveyor belt of the conveying component 21, and the conveyor belt is started to transport the products to the right. After the products touch the blocking plate 225, they stop moving, and the pushing component 31 is started. The pushing component 31 drives the first positioning component 32 and the second positioning component 33 to push. The lower product is fixed by the first positioning component 32, the blocking plate 225 and the limit frame 221, and the upper product is fixed by the second positioning component 33, the blocking plate 225 and the limit plate 223. The automatic welding machine is started to weld the two products from the right end. During the welding process, the pushing component 31 drives the second positioning component 33 to gradually separate from the upper product. Products are avoided from the welding path of the automatic welding machine to prevent the automatic welding machine from damaging the second positioning component 33 during the welding process. After welding is completed, the blocking cylinder 224 is started to drive the blocking plate 225 to move upward, and the conveying component 21 is started to continue to convey the welded products to the right. The first cylinder 222 is started to drive the limit plate 223 to move, so that the position of the limit plate 223 blocking the upper product is different, so that the position of the upper product relative to the lower product can be adjusted. The setting of the conveying component 21 and the blocking plate 225 makes it possible to automatically load and unload materials and block products at specified positions, realizing full automation of loading and unloading, positioning and welding, and reducing labor costs.

The first push block 324 is provided with a V-shaped groove at one end away from the second cylinder 312 for use with the product below.

[0041] The second positioning assembly 33 includes two connecting rods 331, an adjusting frame 332, a motor 333, a threaded rod 334 and a second push block 335. The two connecting rods 331 are fixedly mounted on the end of the connecting frame 313 away from the second cylinder 312, the end of the connecting rod 331 away from the second cylinder 312 is fixedly connected to the adjusting frame 332, the motor 333 is fixedly mounted on one end of the adjusting frame 332, the output end of the motor 333 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 334, the two ends of the threaded rod 334 are rotatably connected to the inner side of the adjusting frame 332, the second push block 335 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 334, the end of the second push block 335 close to the second cylinder 312 is limitedly slidably connected to the adjusting frame 332, and the end of the second push block 335 away from the second cylinder 312 is provided with a V-shaped groove for use with the upper product.

[0042] After the product is blocked, the second cylinder 312 is started, and the second cylinder 312 drives the connecting frame 313 to move toward the product. The connecting frame 313 compresses the spring 323, and the spring 323 drives the first push block 324 to move and contact the product below. The connecting frame 313 drives the connecting rod 331 to move at the same time, and the connecting rod 331 drives the adjusting frame 332 to move. The adjusting frame 332 drives the threaded rod 334 to move, and the threaded rod 334 drives the second push block 335 to move. The second push block 335 contacts the upper product, and the connecting frame 313 continues to move toward the product direction, driving the product to be pushed to the blocking plate 225 for fixing. The automatic welding machine is started to weld the connection from right to left. During the welding process, the second cylinder 312 drives the connecting frame 313 to move toward the second cylinder 312, and the connecting frame 313 drives the connecting rod 331 to move out of the way.
