[0009] Preferably, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the support bar, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the support frame. The spring can support the support frame through its elastic force.
[0010] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a connecting shaft, which is mounted inside the base via bearings. A worm gear is fixedly connected to the lower outer side of the connecting shaft.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5A rotating seat device for a welding robot includes a base 1, a rotating seat 2 mounted on the upper end of the base 1 via a bearing, a drive mechanism 3 inside the base 1, an oil groove ring 5 fixedly connected to the outer side of the base 1, an upper ring 8 fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating seat 2, a lower ring 11 slidably connected to the upper part of the inner wall of the oil groove ring 5, a plurality of evenly distributed steel balls 9 arranged between the upper ring 8 and the lower ring 11, a support frame 12 fixedly connected to the lower end of the lower ring 11, a connecting pin 13 fixedly connected to the lower end of the support frame 12, a plurality of evenly distributed support bars 14 fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the inner wall of the oil groove ring 5, and a spring 15 arranged on the outer side of the connecting pin 13.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The upper end of the rotating seat 2 is fixedly connected with multiple evenly distributed mounting screws 4. The outer sides of multiple steel balls 9 are jointly provided with a support frame 10. The rotating seat 2 can be connected to the welding robot through the mounting screws 4. The outer left side of the oil groove ring 5 is fixedly connected with a filling pipe 6. The upper end of the filling pipe 6 is connected with an end cap 7 through a thread. Lubricating oil can be added to the inside of the oil groove ring 5 through the filling pipe 6. The lower ring 11 has multiple evenly distributed oil supply holes 16 inside. The support frame 12 is slidably connected to the oil groove ring 5. The connecting pin 13 is slidably connected to the support bar 14. The oil supply holes 16 can supply lubricating oil to the steel balls 9 through the vibration of the lower ring 11. One end of the spring 15 is fixedly connected to the support bar 14, and the other end of the spring 15 is fixedly connected to the support frame 12. The spring 15 can support the support frame 12 through its elasticity.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The drive mechanism 3 includes a connecting shaft 31. The connecting shaft 31 is mounted inside the base 1 via bearings. A worm gear 32 is fixedly connected to the lower outer side of the connecting shaft 31. Two symmetrically distributed mounting brackets 33 are fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the base 1. A worm 34 is mounted between the two mounting brackets 33 via bearings. A large gear 35 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the worm 34. A motor 36 is fixedly mounted to the bottom inner side of the base 1. A small gear 37 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the output shaft of the motor 36. The worm 34 and the worm gear 32 are self-locking.

[0025] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: When in use, open the end cover 7, and then add lubricating oil into the oil groove ring 5 through the oil filling pipe 6. After the oil filling is completed, tighten the end cover 7. After tightening, start the motor 36. The motor 36 drives the small gear 37 to rotate. The small gear 37 drives the worm 34 to rotate through the large gear 35. During the rotation, the worm 34 drives the connecting shaft 31 to rotate through the meshing with the worm wheel 32. During the rotation, the connecting shaft 31 can drive the rotating seat 2 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating seat 2, the welding robot installed above can rotate. When the rotation is completed and needs to be stopped, the motor 36 stops rotating. At the same time, the inertia generated by the robot cannot drive the connecting shaft 31 and the worm wheel 32 to rotate, thereby effectively avoiding damage to the motor 36.
[0026] During the rotation of the rotating seat 2, the upper ring 8 drives the steel ball 9 to roll. During the rolling process, the steel ball 9 will drive the lower ring 11 to vibrate. During the vibration of the lower ring 11, the vibration is amplified by the spring 15. During the vibration, the lower ring 11 can make the lubricating oil inside the oil groove ring 5 flow to the outside of the steel ball 9 through the oil supply hole 16, so as to facilitate the lubrication of the steel ball 9.
