[0002] In the field of welding, spot welding is a commonly used processing method. By placing an upper electrode and a lower electrode on the upper and lower sides of the weld seam respectively, the upper and lower electrodes work together on the workpiece to be welded. Through the application of pressure and the conduction of current, resistance heat is generated at the contact point of the workpiece, causing the metal to melt and form a weld spot. During spot welding, the upper electrode is typically responsible for applying pressure and guiding the current, while the lower electrode is fixed to the worktable, providing support and assisting in the conduction of current.

[0003] In existing technologies, the upper electrode is mounted on the welding fixture using a compression fitting method, for example... Figure 1 As shown, the upper electrode is pressed between the mounting block and the clamping block by the cooperation of the mounting block and the clamping block, so that the upper electrode is kept in a vertical position. Although this is convenient for installation, after long-term use, the clamping block and the mounting block are prone to loosening, which will cause the upper electrode to loosen. A loose upper electrode will cause arcing and burn out the tooling. Utility Model Content

The bottom plate 3 and the mounting plate 1 clamp the limiting plate 5, thereby avoiding loosening of the handle 4 downward, which not only meets convenient installation but also avoids loosening of the handle 4 during long-term use, thereby driving the upper electrode 2 to loosen, and the stability of the upper electrode 2 during long-term use is improved.

[0021] The upper side of the bottom plate 3 is recessed around the upper end of the mounting hole 19 and is provided with a limiting ring hole 6 connected with the mounting hole 19, and the limiting plate 5 is mounted in the limiting ring hole 6. By setting the limiting ring hole 6, the limiting plate 5 can be well fixed, and the handle 4 can be fixed by cooperating with the mounting hole 19, so that the upper part of the handle 4 is stably fixed, thereby making the lower electrode at the lower end of the handle 4 have good stability, and dislocation will not occur during long-term use.

[0022] A first screw thread is arranged around the outer wall of the limiting plate 5, a second screw thread is arranged around the hole wall of the limiting ring hole 6, and the first screw thread and the second screw thread are threadedly matched and connected.

The water outlet joint 16 is connected to the water return pipe of the water cooling system through the water inlet joint 15. The cooling water enters the cooling hole 10 from the water inlet hole 13, then absorbs the heat of the upper electrode connecting head 12 in the cooling hole 10, thereby absorbing the heat of the upper electrode 2 through the upper electrode connecting head 12, and then cooling the upper electrode 2 to avoid high temperature of the upper electrode 2.

[0025] A third thread is arranged around the inner wall of the lower end of the cooling hole 10, a fourth thread is arranged around the outer wall of the upper electrode connecting head 12, and the third thread and the fourth thread are threadedly matched and connected; and a cooling groove 17 is recessed at the upper end of the upper electrode connecting head 12.
