[0022] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the closed dragging assembly includes multiple positioning seats 6 mounted on the positioning assembly. A fitting seat 7 is attached to one side of the positioning seat 6. An operating rod 8 is slidably connected inside the fitting seat 7. A reset groove is opened inside the fitting seat 7 on the outside of the operating rod 8. A reset plate 9 is slidably connected inside the reset groove.

Then twist the operating rod 8, so that the positioning block 16 and the positioning groove drive the movable plate 19 to rotate together. After the block 15 is rotated to the longitudinal direction, the operating rod 8 can be released, and the block 15 will spring back and lock into the two sets of slots to complete the positioning of the clamping plate 5. Conversely, when disassembly and separation are required, simply press down the operating rod 8 again to rotate the block 15 to the lateral direction, and it can be pulled out from the docking groove for separation.

A first cylinder 24 is installed at one end of the connecting block. The output end of the first cylinder 24 is fixedly connected to one side of the third motor 2. Furthermore, after the cable is attached, the second motor can be started to drive the second threaded rod 23 to rotate, so that the connecting block moves inside the connecting groove, thereby changing the left and right positions of the first cylinder 24 and the welding torch 3. Then, starting the first cylinder 24 can change the front and back position of the welding torch 3. Starting the third motor 2 can adjust the welding angle of the welding torch 3. Starting the second cylinder 25 can change the height of the welding torch 3.

[0027] The implementation principle of the copper busbar welding device for connecting the return cable and the rail in this application embodiment is as follows: The operator can position the corresponding fitting seat 7 on the clamping plate 5 close to the positioning seat 6 according to the thickness of the cable. Then, the operator pinches the twisting plate 11 and presses down on the operating rod 8. The operating rod 8 can drive the locking block 15 to move downwards. The reset plate 9 then presses down on the two sets of first springs 10, which slide into the installation groove through the docking groove. Continuing to press downwards, the fixing plate 18 presses down on the two sets of second springs 17 to retract, pushing the locking block 15 completely into the installation groove. After twisting the operating rod 8, the positioning block 16, in conjunction with the positioning groove, drives the movable plate 19 to rotate together, rotating the locking block 15 to the longitudinal position. At this point, the operating rod 8 can be released, allowing the locking block 15 to spring back and lock into the two sets of slots, completing the positioning of the clamping plate 5. Conversely, when disassembly and separation are required, simply press down on the operating rod 8 again to rotate the locking block 15 to the transverse position, allowing it to be removed from the docking groove. The connection slot is pulled out for separation. After locking, the latching slot can be engaged with the synchronous slot 14 and synchronous block to drive the closing plate 12 to slide inside the closing slot, so that the closing plate 12 covers the extension slot, causing the magnetic block 13 to attract the iron block, covering the torsion plate 11 to prevent accidental contact that could cause the clamping plate 5 to loosen. Starting the first motor can drive the first threaded rod 21 to rotate, so that the two sets of positioning seats 6 slide inside the adjusting cylinder 20, causing the two sets of clamping plates 5 to adhere to the outer wall of the cable, so that they are stably attached to the welding point. After the cable is attached, the second motor can be started to drive the second threaded rod 23 to rotate, so that the connecting block moves inside the connecting slot, causing the first cylinder 24 and the welding gun 3 to change the position in the left and right directions. Then, starting the first cylinder 24 can change the front and back position of the welding gun 3. Then, starting the third motor 2 can adjust the welding angle of the welding gun 3. Starting the second cylinder 25 can change the height of the welding gun 3.
