The fixing unit A includes a workbench 1, and the frame 2 includes a frame body 21 and connectors 22 for mounting table legs. The workbench 1 is provided with at least three positioning bosses 3, and the number of connectors 22 corresponds to the number of bosses 3. The bosses 3 are used to contact the inner wall of the frame body 21 to restrict the movement of the frame body 21 on a horizontal plane. The workbench 1 is provided with a first clamping unit 4 for clamping the frame body 21.

[0030] The boss 3 is provided with a positioning post 31, which forms a fixing part 311 for fixing the connector 22 by forming with the inner wall of the frame 21; when the connector 22 is located in the fixing part 311, the connector 22 contacts the top of the frame 21; the workbench 1 is also provided with a second pressing unit 5 for pressing the connector 22 onto the frame 21.

[0031] It should be noted here that welding unit B is a welding robot.

[0032] In this design, the worker first places the frame 21 on the workbench 1 and uses the boss 3 to restrict the movement of the frame 21 on the horizontal plane. Then, the first clamping unit 4 clamps and fixes the frame 21. Next, the connector 22 is fixed by the fixing part 311 formed by the positioning post 31 and the inner wall of the frame 21. Then, the second clamping unit 5 presses the connector 22 onto the frame 21. After the connector 22 is fixed, the connector is welded by the welding unit B. After the connector 22 is welded, the first clamping unit 4 and the second clamping unit 5 are released and the frame 21 is taken out. In this way, the displacement of the connector 22 during the welding process is avoided, and the welding efficiency is improved.

[0033] The second clamping unit 5 can be a quick clamp.

[0034] In this embodiment, the connector 22 includes a mounting plate 221 and a positioning plate 222 disposed at the bottom of the mounting plate 221. When the positioning plate 222 is located inside the fixing part 311, the mounting plate 221 contacts the top of the frame 21.

[0035] The frame 21 has a rectangular structure, and the protrusions 3 correspond one-to-one with the inner corners of the frame 21 and are attached to the inner surfaces of the inner corners.

[0036] The positioning plate 222 has a right-angled triangular structure; when the positioning plate 222 is located inside the fixing part 311, the right-angled surface of the positioning plate 222 is in contact with the inner side of the inner corner of the frame 21, and the inclined surface of the positioning plate 222 is in contact with the side of the positioning post 31.

[0037] Specifically, the inner side of the boss 3 is attached to the inner corner of the frame 21, which can better limit and position the frame 21.

[0038] Mounting plate 221 is used to mount table legs. When positioning mounting plate 221 on top of frame 21, positioning plate 222 with right-angled triangle structure is used for positioning. The right-angled surface of positioning plate 222 is attached to the inner side of the inner corner of frame 21, and the side of positioning post 31 is in contact with the inclined surface of positioning plate 222. In this way, when positioning plate 222 is located in fixing part 311, mounting plate 221 can be positioned on frame 21. Then, mounting plate 221 is pressed by second pressing unit 5.

[0039] Preferably, the frame 2 further includes a first reinforcing rib 213 connected within the frame 21, and the workbench 1 is provided with a first pressing assembly 6 for pressing the first reinforcing rib 213 onto the workbench 1;

The workbench 1 is provided with a second pressing component 7 for pressing the second reinforcing rib 214 onto the first reinforcing rib 213.

[0041] Furthermore, the first reinforcing rib 213 and the second reinforcing rib 214 are used to reinforce the structure of the frame 21. The two ends of the first reinforcing rib 213 are in contact with the frame 21 and pressed by the first pressing component 6. Then, the second reinforcing rib 214 is placed on the first reinforcing rib and pressed by the second pressing component 7 onto the first reinforcing rib 213, thereby completing the fixation of the first reinforcing rib 213 and the second reinforcing rib 214. After the fixation is completed, welding can be performed.

[0042] Preferably, the first clamping assembly 6 includes two first threaded posts 61 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the first reinforcing rib 213 on the workbench 1, and two first connecting rods 62 threadedly connected to the first threaded posts 61, so that the first reinforcing rib 213 can be clamped and fixed by rotating the first connecting rods 62;

[0043] The second clamping assembly 7 includes two second threaded posts 71 arranged at intervals along the length of the second reinforcing rib 214 on the workbench 1, and two second connecting rods 72 threadedly connected to the second threaded posts 71. The second reinforcing rib 214 can be clamped and fixed by rotating the second connecting rods 72.

[0044] Specifically, when fixing the first reinforcing rib 213, the first connecting rod 62 on the first threaded post 61 is rotated to press the first reinforcing rib 213 tightly. When fixing the second reinforcing rib 214, the second connecting rod 72 on the second threaded post 71 is rotated to press the second reinforcing rib 214 tightly. After the first reinforcing rib 213 and the second reinforcing rib 214 are welded, the first connecting rod 62 and the second connecting rod 72 are rotated in opposite directions to loosen the fixation of the first reinforcing rib 213 and the second reinforcing rib 214.

[0046] Furthermore, when fixing the frame 21, the first clamping component 6 and the second clamping component 7 are used to clamp and fix the horizontal bar 211 and the vertical bar 212 to prevent them from shifting during the welding process.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first fixing component 41 includes two third threaded posts 411 spaced apart on the workbench 1 along the length of the crossbar 211, and two third connecting rods 412 threaded to the third threaded posts 411; the crossbar 211 can be pressed by rotating the third connecting rods 412.

[0048] The second fixing component 42 includes two fourth threaded posts 421 spaced apart along the length of the vertical rod 212 on the workbench 1, and two fourth connecting rods 422 threaded to the fourth threaded posts 421; the vertical rod 212 can be pressed by rotating the fourth connecting rods 422.

[0049] Specifically, when fixing the horizontal bar 211, the third connecting rod 412 on the third threaded post 411 is rotated to press and fix the horizontal bar 211. When fixing the vertical bar 212, the fourth connecting rod 422 on the fourth threaded post 421 is rotated to press and fix the vertical bar 212.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements or modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements or modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
