[0002] Steel structures are one of the most commonly used structural forms in modern construction engineering. Due to their lightweight, high strength, earthquake resistance, and durability, they are widely used in bridges, factories, high-rise buildings, and stadiums. Among the connection methods for steel structures, welding significantly improves the integrity and rigidity of the structure due to its ability to achieve seamless connections; therefore, it has been widely adopted. However, welding work is often carried out at heights, requiring welders to work on frames tens or even hundreds of meters high, increasing safety risks and posing significant challenges. Consequently, high-altitude welding equipment has emerged.

[0003] For example, a Chinese patent discloses a high-altitude welding device for steel structures (authorization announcement number CN212286460U). This patented technology is equipped with a lifting mechanism that can adjust the height of the welding parts according to the height of the welding point, and can weld objects of different heights, making it convenient to use; however, its welding position is limited, and it cannot weld multiple positions of the steel structure, so its practicality is not high.

[0022] exist Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this assembly, the welding mechanism 2 includes a rotating component 22 mounted on the upper part of the aerial work platform 1. A welding box 21 is mounted on one side of the rotating component 22. A welding machine 26 is installed inside the welding box 21, and heat dissipation windows 28 are installed on both sides of the welding box 21 to dissipate the heat generated by the welding machine 26.

A welding torch 25 is mounted on one side of the robotic arm 23, and a CCD camera 24 is mounted on the outer side of the robotic arm 23 near the welding torch 25. After the aerial work platform 1 moves the welding mechanism 2 to the corresponding position, the CCD camera 24 performs video monitoring of the steel structure product 4 to accurately observe the position to be welded. The rotating component 22 drives the welding box 21 to rotate at a certain angle. The traveling component 27 drives the robotic arm 23 to move linearly. The robotic arm 23 can move the welding torch 25 to the position to be welded, thus welding the steel structure product 4.

The lead screw motor 271 drives the ball screw 273 to rotate, causing the nut assembly 272 to move linearly, thereby driving the robotic arm 23 to move linearly, thus realizing the fine adjustment of the position of the robotic arm 23.

[0024] exist Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In the process, the rotating assembly 22 includes a U-shaped block 221 mounted on the upper end of the aerial work platform 1.

After the welding route is imported through the teach-through device 32, the robotic arm 23 automatically drives the welding torch 25 to move and weld the weld.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the aerial work platform 1 is moved to the ground 5 near the steel structure product 4. Then, the aerial work platform 1 drives the welding mechanism 2 to be lifted and moved to the position to be welded near the steel structure product 4.

[0027] Next, the rotating component 22 drives the welding box 21 to rotate at a certain angle; the walking component 27 drives the robotic arm 23 to make linear motion, and the position of the robotic arm 23 is finely adjusted so that the welding torch 25 on the robotic arm 23 is close to the welding position; then, after the welding route is imported by the teaching aid 32, the robotic arm 23 automatically drives the welding torch 25 to move at multiple angles to weld the weld, realizing high-altitude welding, which has high safety and ensures welding quality.
