Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] Example 1: An auxiliary positioning device for welding aluminum profiles includes a support plate 1 as a support component. A fixed column 2 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the support plate 1. A groove 3 is provided in the middle of each fixed column 2. A movable ring 6 is movably connected to the outer wall of each fixed column 2. A movable groove 7 is provided on the inner side of each movable ring 6. An electric push rod 25 is installed in the middle of the interior of each fixed column 2. A movable plate 4 is movably connected to the interior of each groove 3. The output end of the electric push rod 25 is fixedly connected to the opposite end of the movable plate 4. Both the front and rear ends of the movable plate 4 are movably connected to the inner wall of the movable groove 7. The upper and lower ends of the movable plate 4... Each fixed block 5 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the groove 3 and the upper and lower end of the fixed block 5 are movably connected to the limiting grooves provided at both ends. The opposite ends of the fixed column 2 are rotatably connected to the rotating column 8. The outer wall of the rotating column 8 is fixedly connected to the toothed ring 13. The opposite ends of the rotating column 8 are fixedly connected to the rotating plate 9. The front and rear sides of the rotating plate 9 are rotatably connected to the clamping plate 10 for clamping the aluminum profile. The inner side of the opposite end of the clamping plate 10 is provided with the anti-slip pad 11. The outer side of the opposite end of the anti-slip pad 11 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 12. The other end of the connecting plate 12 is rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the movable ring 6 respectively.

[0032] Specifically, the electric push rod 25 is activated to drive the movable plate 4 to slide inside the groove 3. The movable plate 4 drives the movable ring 6 to slide along the outer wall of the fixed column 2. At the same time, the front and rear ends of the movable plate 4 are movably connected to the movable groove 7 set inside the movable ring 6, so that the movable groove 7 can slide along the outer wall of the fixed column 2 or rotate around the fixed column 2. When the movable ring 6 slides along the outer wall of the fixed column 2, it cooperates with the connecting plate 12 to drive the clamping plate 10 to retract, clamping and fixing the aluminum profile, improving the stability of the aluminum profile, and facilitating precise welding by workers.

[0033] Example 2: A grooved plate 20 is fixedly connected to the top center of the support plate 19. A second motor 22 is fixedly connected to the right end of the grooved plate 20. A bidirectional screw 21 is rotatably connected inside the grooved plate 20. The right end of the bidirectional screw 21 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the second motor 22. Movable blocks 23 are threadedly connected to both the left and right sides of the outer wall of the bidirectional screw 21. The bottom end of the support plate 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable blocks 23.

[0034] Specifically, starting the second motor 22 drives the bidirectional screw 21 to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional screw 21 drives the movable blocks 23 on both sides to move in opposite directions. The movable blocks 23 drive the support plate 1 and the components fixedly installed on the fixed column 2 to move in opposite directions as a whole, so as to adjust the distance between the two clamping plates 10 as needed, so that the aluminum profiles on both sides fit together. This is suitable for welding aluminum profiles of different sizes and improves the adaptability of the device.

[0035] As one of the optimized structural designs for Example 1, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, U-shaped plates 16 are fixedly connected to the middle of opposite ends of the rotating plate 9. Bolts 17 are threaded to the top of the U-shaped plates 16, and pressure plates 18 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the bolts 17. By tightening the bolts 17, the pressure plates 18 are driven to move downward, which strengthens the fixation of the aluminum profile and improves the stability of the aluminum profile during welding.

[0036] Working principle: When in use, place the two aluminum profiles to be welded on the inner side of the U-shaped plates 16 on both sides. Tighten the bolts 17 to move the pressure plate 18 downwards to initially fix the aluminum profiles. Start the electric push rod 25, which drives the movable plate 4 to move. The movable plate 4 drives the movable ring 6 to slide along the outer wall of the fixed column 2. The movable ring 6, in conjunction with the connecting plate 12, drives the clamping plate 10 to retract and clamp the aluminum profiles a second time. Start the second motor 22 to drive the bidirectional screw 21 to rotate. The bidirectional screw 21 drives the movable block 23 and all components, including the clamping plate 10, fixed on the upper end of the movable block 23, to move towards the middle, so that the aluminum profiles on both sides are close together. The worker uses a hand-held electric welder to weld the aluminum profiles. During welding, start the reduction motor 14, which drives the gear 15 to rotate. The gear 15, in conjunction with the gear ring 13, drives the rotating column 8, rotating plate 9, and clamping plate 10 to rotate slowly as a whole, which in turn drives the aluminum profiles to rotate slowly, so that the worker can perform 360-degree welding without dead angles.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
