After one side is welded, the third motor 7 rotates the rotating plate 8 90 degrees. The position of the rotating plate 8 is adjusted by the second adjusting component 6, and the L-shaped plate 12 is moved by the first adjusting component 3. This allows for welding of heat exchanger plates of different sizes. This invention is convenient to use and has good performance.
