[0023] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a bridge tube welding fixture, which includes a mounting platform 1. The mounting platform 1 has two first sliding grooves 10 inside. The two first sliding grooves 10 are rotatably connected to the first threaded rods 5. The first threaded rods 5 are externally threaded to the first sliding rods 7. The upper surface of the first sliding rods 7 is fixedly connected to the fixing ring 17. The upper end of the fixing ring 17 is fixedly connected to the cylinder 9. The output end of the cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to the abutment 8. The upper surface of the abutment 8 is in close contact with the inner wall of the fixing ring 17. When the cylinder 9 is activated, the abutment 8 is moved to clamp and release the bridge tube. The first sliding rod 7 moves to bring the components closer together.

[0024] The first threaded rod 5 is externally threaded to the second slide rod 14 at the end away from the first slide rod 7. The upper surface of the second slide rod 14 is provided with a second slide groove 6. The second threaded rod 13 is rotatably connected inside the second slide groove 6. The second threaded rod 13 is externally threaded to two sliders 12. The sides of the two sliders 12 are fixedly connected to clamping blocks 11. The sliders 12 move with the second motor 16 as the second threaded rod 13 moves, causing the two sliders 12 to open and close, clamping the parts. The second slide rod 14 moves on the first threaded rod 5 and approaches the bridge tube.

[0025] The second threaded rod 13 is externally fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 16. The bottom of the second motor 16 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 15. The other end of the fixing frame 15 is fixedly connected to the side of the second slide rod 14. The second motor 16 drives the second threaded rod 13 to rotate, thereby controlling the movement of the two sliders 12.

[0026] Support legs 2 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the lower surface of the mounting platform 1. One of the support legs 2 is fixedly connected to the side of the first motor 3. The support leg 2 supports the mounting platform 1, and the first motor 3 controls the rotation of the first threaded rod 5.

[0027] The output end of the first motor 3 is fixedly connected to the pulley 4. The pulley 4 is fitted with a belt on the outside of the first threaded rod 5, and the belt controls the rotation of the first threaded rod 5.

[0028] Both first threaded rods 5 are bidirectional threaded rods, and belts are sleeved on the outside of the two first threaded rods 5. The belts control the synchronous rotation of the two first threaded rods 5.

[0029] The second threaded rod 13 is a bidirectional threaded rod, and the two sliders 12 are respectively set in the forward thread and the reverse thread. The rotation of the second threaded rod 13 controls the two sliders 12 to move towards each other.

[0030] Two sliders 12 have arc-shaped grooves on opposite sides. The sides of the two sliders 12 are in close contact with the inner surface of the second groove 6. The arc-shaped grooves facilitate the clamping of round parts, and the sliders 12 are in close contact with the groove to prevent swaying.

[0031] The first slide bar 7 and the second slide bar 14 are respectively provided on the forward thread and reverse thread portion of the first threaded rod 5. The abutment 8 is made of hard rubber material. The rotation of the first threaded rod 5 causes the first slide bar 7 and the second slide bar 14 to move towards each other, so that the components on the slide bars are close together and in close contact.

[0032] Working principle: Before welding, the component to be welded is placed in the clamping device on the two slide rods. The cylinder 9 on the first slide rod 7 is activated to securely position the bridge tube. The second motor 16 is activated to rotate the second threaded rod 13, causing the two sliders 12 to move towards each other and clamp the component to be welded. Then, the first motor 3 is activated, driving the two first threaded rods 5 to rotate simultaneously, causing the first slide rod 7 and the second slide rod 14 on the first threaded rod 5 to move towards each other, bringing the two components to be welded close together for welding. After welding, the second motor 16 rotates in the opposite direction to release the two sliders 12, and the first motor 3 rotates in the opposite direction to separate the two slide rods. Then, the next component to be welded can be placed between the two sliders 12, clamped, and the two slide rods 12 are driven to move towards each other to complete the subsequent welding.
