[0020] In this embodiment, preferably, after the drive shaft 102 is inserted into the through hole 110, the fixing plate 101 and the hollow limiting plate 104 are respectively embedded in the embedding groove 108, and the positioning pin 105 is respectively inserted into the positioning groove, and the thread of the drive shaft 102 is connected to the locking nut 111 to form the locking of the workstation turntable 107.

[0021] The above scheme achieves a nested overall structure by embedding the fixed plate and the hollow limiting plate into the bottom and top slots of the station turntable, respectively; the station turntable is positioned three-dimensionally by inserting the positioning pin into the positioning hole; and the axial clamping force is generated by the connection between the threaded section of the drive shaft and the locking nut, so that the station turntable is rigidly clamped between the fixed plate and the hollow limiting plate.

[0022] In this embodiment, preferably, a plurality of assembly holes 112 are spaced apart at the top edge of the workstation turntable 107. Multiple sets of workstation fixtures are fixed by bolts passing through the assembly holes 112. The bottom end of the transmission shaft 102 is connected to the drive shaft 113 through a coupling. The drive shaft 113 is located at the output end of the drive motor 114.

[0026] In this embodiment, preferably, a base 117 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lower box 116, and inclined bracing plates 121 are installed at intervals at the connection between the lower box 116 and the base 117. An upper box 122 is fixedly installed at the top of the lower box 116 adjacent to the groove 118, and a touch screen 123 is installed through one side of the upper box 122.

[0028] In this embodiment, preferably, an adjustment knob 124 is installed through the lower housing 116 adjacent to the touch screen 123, and an inspection door 125 is installed on the side of the lower housing 116 away from the adjustment knob 124 via a hinge. A heat dissipation groove 126 is provided on the side of the lower housing 116 opposite to the inspection door 125, and a resistance welding machine 127 is fixedly installed inside the lower housing 116.

[0029] The above solution allows for fine-tuning of parameters by adjusting the knob through the lower housing; facilitates internal maintenance by installing the access door via hinges; improves heat dissipation efficiency by forming airflow channels through heat dissipation slots; and ensures welding energy supply by fixing the resistance welding machine inside the lower housing.

[0030] In this embodiment, preferably, a hydraulic cylinder 128 is bolted to a location inside the lower housing 116 adjacent to the resistance welding machine 127. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 128 extends through and to the bottom of the upper housing 122 and is connected to the upper pressure plate 129. An electrode head 130 is bolted to the bottom of the upper pressure plate 129.

[0031] The above scheme provides a pressure drive source by bolting a hydraulic cylinder into the lower housing; the output end of the hydraulic cylinder passes through the upper housing and connects to the upper pressure plate to transmit downward pressure; and the electrode head is bolted to the bottom of the upper pressure plate to perform welding.

[0032] In this embodiment, preferably, the electrode head 130, resistance welding machine 127, hydraulic cylinder 128, touch screen 123, adjustment knob 124 and drive motor 114 are connected by flexible wires.

[0033] The above solution connects the electrode head, resistance welding machine, hydraulic cylinder, touch screen, adjustment knob and drive motor with flexible wires to ensure the reliability of electrical signal and power transmission and prevent motion interference.

[0034] In the initial state of use, the fixing plate 101 is permanently sleeved on the lower part of the drive shaft 102, while the station turntable 107 is sleeved through its through hole 110 on the main body of the drive shaft 102. The positioning pin 105 on the top of the fixing plate 101 is precisely embedded in the positioning hole 109 of the bottom embedding groove 108 of the station turntable 107, forming an axial reference positioning and restricting the horizontal displacement of the station turntable 107. The limiting block 106 of the hollow limiting plate 104 is slidably assembled in the limiting groove 103 symmetrically opened in the middle of the drive shaft 102, so that it can move axially along the drive shaft 102. When the device is in multi-station mode, the operator presses down the hollow limiting plate 104 so that its bottom... Positioning pin 105 is inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 109 of the top embedded groove 108 of the station turntable 107. At this time, the limiting block 106 slides completely into the limiting groove 103 to form a circumferential lock. Then, the locking nut 111 on the threaded section of the drive shaft 102 is tightened, driving the hollow limiting plate 104 to clamp with the fixing plate 101, finally rigidly fixing the station turntable 107 between the two. This double-end positioning and clamping structure significantly improves the positioning accuracy. Several assembly holes 112 distributed in a ring on the edge of the station turntable 107 are fixed with high-strength bolts to form multiple sets of station fixtures, forming a circumferentially distributed welding workstation. When the drive motor 114 drives the drive shaft 102 to rotate through the coupling, the station turntable 107 is indexed at a preset angle, so that each resistance band workpiece is rotated. The components enter the welding area sequentially. At this time, hydraulic cylinder 128 pushes the upper pressure plate 129 downwards vertically, and the electrode head 130 at the top contacts the workpiece with constant pressure. Resistance welding machine 127 releases a strong current, generating Joule heat on the workpiece contact surface to complete the welding. When switching to single-station mode, loosening the locking nut 111 allows the hollow limiting plate 104 to slide upwards along the limiting groove 103, disengaging from the station turntable 107 and releasing the top constraint. After removing the bolts of the encapsulation plate 119 to expose the interior of the chamber 115, the coupling can be separated to extract the entire drive shaft 102. At this time, the groove 118 area at the top of the lower housing 116 is fully open. The operator installs a large-size single-workpiece mold table in the groove 118, and the electrode head 130 driven by hydraulic cylinder 128 directly contacts the large workpiece. Welding is performed; this mode conversion process can complete the transformation from a multi-station to a single-station system without excessive disassembly of the entire machine, expanding the processing range of the equipment; in the control system, the touch screen 123 sets the welding parameters (current, pressure, duration), and the adjustment knob 124 adjusts the stroke accuracy of the hydraulic cylinder 128 in real time; the resistance welding machine 127, the hydraulic cylinder 128, and the electrode head 130 achieve high-voltage and high-current transmission through flexible wires, avoiding cable damage caused by mechanical movement; the heat dissipation slots 126 opened on the side wall of the lower housing 116, together with the internal air duct, form a passive heat dissipation system to ensure stable temperature rise of the resistance welding machine 127 during continuous operation; when equipment maintenance is required, the internal components can be accessed by opening the maintenance door 125, greatly reducing downtime for maintenance;This structural design, through the synergy of a modular clamping system and intelligent control, achieves both efficient batch welding of resistance bands and flexible processing of large workpieces, thus solving the technical pain points of traditional welding equipment, such as limited functionality and low conversion efficiency.

[0035] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
