[0018] To deepen the understanding of this utility model, the following detailed description will be provided in conjunction with embodiments. These embodiments are only used to explain this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0019] according to Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, this embodiment proposes a welding device for the production of stainless steel water tanks, including a base plate 1. Universal wheels 2 are installed at the four corners of the bottom end of the base plate 1. An installation cavity 3 is installed at the top end of the base plate 1. A moving mechanism is provided inside the installation cavity 3. A placement mechanism is provided on one side of the installation cavity 3. A welding head 4 is provided inside the placement mechanism. An installation seat 5 is installed at the front end of the installation cavity 3. A cylinder 6 is installed at the front end of the installation seat 5. A vacuum suction cup 7 is installed at the front end of the cylinder 6. A steering mechanism is provided inside the installation seat 5.

[0020] The moving mechanism includes a servo motor 8, a threaded rod 9, a threaded sleeve 10, and a limiting structure. The servo motor 8 is installed at the top of the mounting cavity 3. The threaded rod 9 is installed inside the mounting cavity 3. The output end of the servo motor 8 is connected to one end of the threaded rod 9. The outer wall of the threaded rod 9 is provided with a threaded sleeve 10. One end of the threaded sleeve 10 is connected to one end of the mounting base 5. In use, the servo motor 8 is started to drive the threaded rod 9 to rotate. Therefore, under the limiting position of the limiting groove 11 and the limiting block 12, the threaded rod 9 drives the threaded sleeve 10 to move, thereby driving the vacuum suction cup 7 to move and adjust the vacuum suction cup 7 to an appropriate height. Thus, the stainless steel water tank plates of different heights are positioned, which greatly improves the convenience of the device in use.

[0021] The limiting structure includes a limiting groove 11 and a limiting block 12. The limiting groove 11 is opened on one side inside the mounting cavity 3. The limiting block 12 is provided inside the limiting groove 11. One end of the limiting block 12 is connected to one end of the threaded sleeve 10. The cross-section of the limiting groove 11 is larger than the cross-section of the limiting block 12. The limiting groove 11 and the limiting block 12 form a sliding structure. In use, the mutual cooperation between the limiting groove 11 and the limiting block 12 can limit the movement of the threaded sleeve 10, making the threaded sleeve 10 more stable when moving.

[0022] The steering mechanism includes a rotating seat 13, a first positioning hole 14, a second positioning hole 15, and a positioning pin 16. One end of the rotating seat 13 is disposed inside the mounting base 5, and one end of the rotating seat 13 is connected to one end of the cylinder 6. The first positioning hole 14 is provided on one side of the interior of the rotating seat 13, and the second positioning hole 15 is provided on the lower part of the interior of the rotating seat 13. The positioning pin 16 is disposed inside the first positioning hole 14, and the positioning pin 16 engages with the first positioning hole 14 and the second positioning hole 15 respectively. When it is necessary to fix the stainless steel water tank plate at the top, The operator pulls the positioning pin 16 out of the first positioning hole 14, then rotates the rotating seat 13 to drive the cylinder 6 and vacuum suction cup 7 to rotate, so that the vacuum suction cup 7 is parallel to the mounting cavity 3. Then, the positioning pin 16 is inserted into the second positioning hole 15 to fix the position of the cylinder 6 and vacuum suction cup 7. The vacuum suction cup 7 can be used to position the top plate of the stainless steel water tank, and the position of the vacuum suction cup 7 can be adjusted and rotated, so that the vacuum suction cup 7 can be used to position the side plate and the top plate, thereby greatly improving the versatility of the device in use.

[0023] The placement mechanism includes a placement seat 17, a placement groove 18, a locking block 19, and a positioning post 20. The placement seat 17 is installed at one end of the mounting cavity 3. The placement groove 18 is formed through the interior of the placement seat 17. The welding head 4 is disposed inside the placement groove 18. The locking block 19 is hinged to one end of the placement seat 17, and a groove body is hinged to one end of the locking block 19. The positioning post 20 is installed at the other end of the placement seat 17. In use, the operator pulls the locking block 19 down from above the positioning post 20 and takes the welding head 4 out from inside the placement groove 18, making it more convenient and quick to use or store the welding head 4.

[0024] Working principle: The operator first moves the device to the appropriate position, then removes the stainless steel water tank side panel and places it in the appropriate position. At this time, the servo motor 8 is started to drive the threaded rod 9 to rotate. Therefore, under the limitation of the limiting groove 11 and the limiting block 12, the threaded rod 9 drives the threaded sleeve 10 to move, which in turn drives the vacuum suction cup 7 to move. The vacuum suction cup 7 is adjusted to an appropriate height, and then the cylinder 6 is started to drive the vacuum suction cup 7 to move. The vacuum suction cup 7 is used to pick up the stainless steel water tank side panel and position it. At this time, the operator removes the locking block 19 from the... The positioning pin 20 is pulled down from the top, and the welding head 4 is taken out from the inside of the placement groove 18. At this time, the welding head 4 can be used to weld the water tank. When it is necessary to fix the stainless steel water tank plate on the top, the worker pulls the positioning pin 16 out from the inside of the first positioning hole 14, and then rotates the rotating seat 13 to drive the cylinder 6 and vacuum suction cup 7 to rotate, so that the vacuum suction cup 7 is parallel to the installation cavity 3. Then the positioning pin 16 is inserted into the inside of the second positioning hole 15 to fix the position of the cylinder 6 and vacuum suction cup 7. The vacuum suction cup 7 can be used to position the stainless steel water tank top plate.
