[0027] See also Figures 1 to 2 As shown in the embodiments of this application, this application provides an automatic welding device for gas metal arc welding, including: a workpiece to be welded 1, a welding torch device 2, and a sliding displacement mechanism 5; wherein, the workpiece to be welded 1 includes at least a first side plate 11 for supporting and fixing the welding torch device 2 and the workpiece to be welded; the first end 21 of the welding torch device 2 is a welding end, which penetrates the first side plate 11 and extends into the internal space of the workpiece to be welded 1; the first end 21 of the welding torch device 2 integrates an image acquisition device 3 for acquiring image information of the interior of the workpiece to be welded 1 in real time. By integrating the image acquisition device 3 into the welding end of the welding torch device 2, image information of the interior of the workpiece to be welded 1 can be acquired in real time. This not only helps to monitor the welding process and ensure welding quality, but also allows for fine-tuning of the welding path when necessary, thereby improving the accuracy of welding. The second end 22 of the welding torch device 2 is mechanically connected to the drive motor 4. The movement of the welding device 2 and the welding operation are realized by the drive motor, so that the welding operation can be carried out automatically, which greatly improves the welding efficiency, reduces the dependence on manual operation, and reduces the production cost of the product. Preferably, the drive motor 4 includes, but is not limited to, welding equipment, wire feeding equipment, etc.
[0028] In addition, the sliding displacement mechanism 5 includes a slider 51 fixedly connected to the workpiece 1 to be welded, and a slide rail 52 on which the slider 51 slides. The precise movement of the welding device 2 inside the workpiece 1 is achieved by the sliding of the slider 51 on the slide rail 52.
[0029] In this embodiment, a switch 7 is provided at the connection between the second end 22 of the welding torch device 2 and the drive motor 4 to control the movement of the support frame 6. Integrating the switch 7 at the connection between the second end 22 of the welding torch device 2 and the drive motor 4 results in a higher degree of integration and a more compact structure for the entire welding device. This not only helps reduce the manufacturing cost of the equipment but also improves its reliability and stability. In addition, the precise control function of the switch 7 allows the welder to adjust the moving speed and position of the welding torch device 2 as needed, achieving precise control of the welding process. This helps ensure the consistency and reliability of welding quality and reduces quality defects caused by improper operation.
[0030] In one feasible embodiment, the automatic welding device for gas metal arc welding further includes: a support frame 6, which is fixedly connected to the first side plate 11. Specifically, it can be connected by welding or bolts. The support frame 6 supports the welding torch device 2, ensuring its stability and accuracy.

After the welding gun device 2 and the image acquisition device 3 are fixed to the upper plate 13 through the through hole 131 and fasteners 132, the upper plate 13 is fixed between the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12 by bolts 133. Specifically, the bottom plate 14, together with the upper plate 13, the first side plate 11, the second side plate 12, and the third side plate facing the first side plate 11 and the fourth side plate facing the second side plate 12, together form the frame structure of the workpiece 1 to be welded.
[0033] In this embodiment, the welding direction of the workpiece 1 is the length direction of the slide rail 52, which is parallel to the surface to be welded. In this application, the slide rail 52 serves as a guide for the movement of the welding device 2, and its length direction is consistent with the welding direction. This ensures that the welding torch device 2 moves along a predetermined trajectory during the welding process, thereby improving welding accuracy. Furthermore, having the welding direction aligned with the length direction of the slide rail 52 maximizes the utilization of the slide rail's length, reducing the number of movements and the distance traveled during the welding process, thus improving welding efficiency.
