[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a precise positioning device for argon arc welding points of automotive bulbs, comprising: a base plate 1, a column 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1, a fixing plate 3 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the column 2, a clamping mechanism 4 provided on the upper surface of the fixing plate 3, the clamping mechanism 4 including a slide rail 41 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing plate 3, a slide table 42 slidably connected to the upper surface of the slide rail 41, a first support plate 43 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slide table 42, a first connecting plate 44 fixedly connected to one end of the first support plate 43, a second support plate 45 fixedly connected to one end of the first connecting plate 44, a first fixing column 46 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the first connecting plate 44, a first rotating plate 47 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the first fixing column 46, and one end of the first rotating plate 47 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating plate 46. A connecting rod 48 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 48, a second rotating plate 49 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 48, a second fixed column 401 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second rotating plate 49, a second connecting plate 402 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the second fixed column 401, a movable plate 403 is fixedly connected to one end of the second connecting plate 402, a motor 404 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 403, a horizontal pull plate 5 is fixedly connected to the upper surfaces of the first support plate 43 and the second support plate 45, a sliding groove 6 is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 1, a slider 7 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 6, and the top of the slider 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal pull plate 5, a first limiting plate 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the slide table 42, a second limiting plate 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the slide rail 41, and a clamping plate 10 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the horizontal pull plate 5.

[0021] In use, the operator places the bulb to be arc welded between the two clamping plates 10. Then, the operator starts the motor 404, which provides power to move the movable plate 403. The movable plate 403 transmits force to the second rotating plate 49 through the second connecting plate 402 and the second fixed column 401, causing the second rotating plate 49 to rotate. Through the connecting rod 48, the first rotating plate 47 rotates around the first fixed column 46. The first rotating plate 47 drives the first connecting plate 44, causing the slide table 42 to slide on the slide rail 41. The slide table 42 moves the first support plate 43 and the second support plate 45, which in turn moves the horizontal pull plate 5, allowing the clamping plates 10 to move closer to or further away, thus achieving the clamping and releasing action of the object. The first limiting plate 8 and the second limiting plate 9 limit the position, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the clamping process. Through the clamping mechanism 4, the position and angle of the bulb can be precisely adjusted according to the different models of automotive bulbs and the specific position requirements of the welding point, ensuring that the argon arc welding point falls accurately in the predetermined position, thereby improving the welding quality and consistency. Furthermore, this mechanism can accommodate various automotive bulbs of different specifications, shapes, and sizes. With simple adjustments, different fixture parameters can be switched to meet the production needs of different products, reducing the types and number of fixtures and lowering production costs.
