[0022] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a technical solution: it includes a base 1, and a welding machine body 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1.

[0023] Please see Figure 3-4 The base 1 includes two support plates 11, with a top plate 12 fixedly connected to the top of the two support plates 11. Side connecting rods 13 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the left and right sides of the top plate 12. Two bidirectional screw connecting blocks 15 are fixedly connected to the rear sides of the two rear side connecting rods 13 on one side of the top of the top plate 12.

The inner side of the two inverted L-shaped expansion plates 17 drives the two clamping plates 18 to clamp and fix the automotive plastic parts on the mold plate 110.

[0028] When the two inverted L-shaped expansion plates 17 slide towards each other on both sides of the inner walls of the two guide grooves 16, the inner sides of the two inverted L-shaped expansion plates 17 drive the two clamping plates 18 to clamp and fix the automotive plastic parts on the mold plate 110. At the same time, the inner walls of the two hinge blocks 19 drive the two sets of V-shaped rotating rods 26 to rotate towards each other. The inner tops of the two sets of V-shaped rotating rods 26 drive the two welding head partition control plates 24 to slide away from each other on the outer walls of the two sets of columnar crossbars 23. The inner bottoms of the two welding head partition control plates 24 drive the two partitions 27 to move away from each other, so that the two clamping grooves 28 can release the limit on the bottom of the welding head 210 and the welding head 210 is no longer separated from the bottom mold plate 110. At this time, the welding head 210 can freely perform laser welding operations on the automotive plastic parts on the mold plate 110 under the control of the welding machine control plate 29.
