The welding gun 210 is set on the rotating shaft 121. The first driving member 220 is used to drive the movable frame 120 to move up and down on the frame 100, and the second driving member 230 is used to drive the rotating shaft 121 to rotate on the movable frame 120, and the welding gun 210 is used to weld the workpiece; the clamping mechanism 300 includes a detection sensor 310, a third driving member 320, a pressure plate 330 and a controller, the detection sensor 310 is fixedly set on the workbench 110, the detection sensor 310 is used to detect the workpiece, the third driving member 320 is set on the workbench 110, and the third driving member 320 is used to drive the pressure plate 330 to move toward the direction close to the workbench 110 to clamp the workpiece, and the detection sensor 310 and the third driving member 320 are both electrically connected to the controller.

[0028] The workbench 110 is fixedly connected to the frame 100, the movable frame 120 is slidably connected to the frame 100, and the rotating shaft 121 is rotatably connected to the movable frame 120. The welding gun 210 is mounted on the rotating shaft 121. The first driving member 220 can drive the movable frame 120 to move up and down on the frame 100, so that the rotating shaft 121 can move toward or away from the workbench 110, facilitating the welding gun 210 to weld the workpiece. The second driving member 230 is used to drive the rotating shaft 121 to rotate on the movable frame 120, so that the welding gun 210 can perform circumferential welding on the workpiece. The detection sensor 310 is fixedly set on the workbench 110, the third driving member 320 is fixedly connected to the workbench 110, and the pressure plate 330 is set at the movable end of the third driving member 320. The workpiece can be detected by the detection sensor 310, and then the controller controls the third driving member 320 to drive the pressure plate 330 to move toward the direction close to the workbench 110, so that the workpiece can be automatically pressed on the workbench 110, instead of manually locking the workpiece, thereby improving the convenience of clamping the workpiece and improving the efficiency of welding.

[0029] It should be noted that the first drive member 220 and the third drive member 320 may each be a linear cylinder, an electric push rod, or the like; the second drive member 230 may be an electric motor, a pneumatic motor, or the like; and the controller may be a single-chip microcomputer, a programmable logic controller, an industrial computer, or the like, all of which are omitted for clarity. The first drive member 220 and the second drive member 230 are also electrically connected to the controller, enabling the controller to control the movement of the first drive member 220 and the second drive member 230, thereby achieving automated welding of the workpiece and improving production efficiency.

[0030] In addition, refer to Figure 3 The detection sensor 310 includes a first detection member 311 and a second detection member 312, which are respectively arranged on either side of the workbench 110. When a workpiece is placed between the first detection member 311 and the second detection member 312, the detection sensor 310 can detect that the workpiece is on the workbench 110. The controller can control the third driving member 320 to drive the pressing plate 330 toward the workbench 110, automatically clamping the workpiece on the workbench 110 and achieving automatic clamping and fixation of the workpiece. The detection sensor 310 can be a photoelectric sensor or an ultrasonic sensor, which will not be described in detail here.

[0031] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The pressure plate 330 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 331 on the side close to the workbench 110. The protrusions 331 are arranged at intervals. The protrusions 331 are provided on the side close to the workbench 110. By arranging the protrusions 331 at intervals, the protrusions 331 can abut against the workpiece, thereby increasing the friction with the workpiece, reducing the positional shaking of the workpiece, and improving the clamping stability of the workpiece.

[0032] The shape of the bump 331 is hemispherical. By providing a plurality of bumps 331 to abut against the wall surface of the workpiece, the bump 331 can be prevented from damaging the workpiece, thereby improving the clamping stability of the workpiece and facilitating welding of the workpiece.

[0033] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2The frame 100 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 130, which has a plurality of positioning holes 131 arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. The workbench 110 is fixedly connected to a fixing frame 111, which is penetrated by bolts 112, which are fixedly connected to the positioning holes 131. The mounting plate 130 is fixedly connected to the frame 100, and a plurality of positioning holes 131 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction on the mounting plate 130. The workbench 110 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 111, and the bolts 112 are penetrated by the fixing frame 111, and the bolts 112 are fixedly connected to the positioning holes 131. By arranging the bolts 112 in different positioning holes 131, the position of the fixing frame 111 can be easily adjusted, and the workbench 110 can be raised or lowered, so that the workbench 110 can adapt to the sizes of different workpieces, thereby improving the applicability of the circular welding machine.

[0034] It should be noted that the multiple positioning holes 131 are set into two groups, and the two groups of positioning holes 131 are arranged horizontally on both sides of the mounting plate 130. The bolts 112 are also set into two groups, so that the two groups of bolts 112 can be positioned on the two groups of positioning holes 131 respectively, thereby improving the position stability of the fixing frame 111.

[0035] Specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 3 The mounting plate 130 is fixedly connected to a positioning bar 132, and the fixing frame 111 is provided with a positioning slot 113, in which the positioning bar 132 is located. The positioning bar 132 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 130, and the fixing frame 111 is provided with a positioning slot 113. By arranging the positioning bar 132 to be located in the positioning slot 113, the fixing frame 111 can be positioned on the mounting plate 130, which facilitates adjustment of the position of the fixing frame 111, prevents the fixing frame 111 from being skewed, facilitates alignment of the bolt 112 with the positioning hole 131, and improves the adjustment convenience of the fixing frame 111.

[0036] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4The welding mechanism 200 also includes an adjustment component 240, which includes an adjustment plate 241, a slider 242 and a slide rod 243. The adjustment plate 241 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 121. The adjustment plate 241 has a slide groove 244 in the horizontal direction. The slider 242 is slidably connected to the slide groove 244. The slide rod 243 is slidably connected to the slider 242 in the vertical direction. The welding gun 210 is fixedly connected to the slide rod 243. The adjusting plate 241 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 121, the slide groove 244 is arranged on the adjusting plate 241 in the horizontal direction, the slider 242 is slidably connected to the slide groove 244 so that the slider 242 can move in the horizontal direction, the slide bar 243 is slidably connected to the slider 242 in the vertical direction, and the welding gun 210 is fixedly connected to the slide bar 243 so that the welding gun 210 can move in the horizontal and vertical directions, thereby improving the position flexibility of the welding gun 210, facilitating the welding of different workpieces with the welding gun 210, and improving the applicability of the circular welding machine.

[0037] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The slider 242 is provided with a limit block 245 protruding from the slider 242. The limit block 245 can abut against both sides of the slide groove 244. The limit block 245 protrudes from the slider 242 and is movably connected to the slide groove 244, so that both sides of the limit block 245 can abut against the side walls of the slide groove 244, thereby limiting the position of the slider 242 in the slide groove 244, preventing the slider 242 from rotating in the slide groove 244, and improving the position stability of the slider 242.

[0038] In addition, the limiting block 245 can abut against both ends of the slide groove 244 , thereby stabilizing the position of the welding gun 210 and improving the reliability of the adjustment assembly 240 .

[0039] It should be noted that the limit block 245 is threadedly connected to a first screw, which is passed through the slide groove 244, so that the slider 242 can move smoothly in the slide groove 244, and the slider 242 can be locked in the slide groove 244 by the first screw, thereby improving the position stability of the slider 242.

[0040] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4The slider 242 includes a first clamping block 246 and a second clamping block 247. The slide bar 243 is arranged between the first clamping block 246 and the second clamping block 247. The first clamping block 246 and the second clamping block 247 drive the slide bar 243 to be clamped by fasteners. The slide bar 243 is arranged between the first clamping block 246 and the second clamping block 247. The fasteners pass through the first clamping block 246 and the second clamping block 247 in sequence. The fasteners can drive the first clamping block 246 and the second clamping block 247 to approach each other to clamp the slide bar 243. The position of the slide bar 243 can be easily adjusted by the first clamping block 246 and the second clamping block 247, which facilitates the adjustment of the height of the welding gun 210 and improves the applicability of the round welding machine.

[0041] It should be noted that the fastener includes a second screw and a nut. The second screw passes through the first clamp 246 and the second clamp 247 in sequence. The nut is threadedly connected to the second screw, and the nut abuts against the side of the second clamp 247 away from the first clamp 246, so that the second screw and the nut can cooperate to lock the position of the slide rod 243, thereby improving the position stability of the slide rod 243.

[0042] It is understandable that, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The frame 100 is further provided with a guide rail 141, which is arranged in a vertical direction. The movable frame 120 is fixedly connected to a guide block 142, which is slidably connected to the guide rail 141. The guide rail 141 is arranged in a vertical direction on the frame 100, and the guide block 142 is fixedly connected to the movable frame 120. The guide block 142 is slidably arranged on the guide rail 141 to guide the movement of the movable frame 120 on the frame 100, thereby improving the movement stability of the movable frame 120, facilitating the welding of the workpiece by the welding gun 210, and improving the quality of the welding.

[0043] Among them, the number of guide rails 141 is set to be multiple, and the multiple guide rails 141 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart on the frame 100. The number of guide blocks 142 is also set to be multiple, and the multiple guide blocks 142 are all slidably connected to the guide rails 141 to improve the movement stability of the movable frame 120.

[0044] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
