Its structure is compact, the layout is reasonable, and the space is fully utilized to reduce the volume of the welding power source, thereby realizing the miniaturized design of the welding power source; the X-type welding tong and the C-type welding tong can be butted against the same welding power source; a side connection plate is arranged, and the movable arm structure, the connection block, the driving device and the fixed arm are fixedly connected through bolts, and fixedly installed on the welding power source; the force connection structure of the welding tong and the welding power source can be divided into two independent entities, which realizes a miniaturized welding tong structure and can be easily removed, realizing rapid switching between the two types of welding tongs, and bringing great convenience to production and maintenance.
