[0065] Embodiment 5:

[0066] An elongated hollow thin-walled box welding tool is improved on the basis of any one of embodiments 1-4. As shown in FIG. 9, the moving extrusion part A21 comprises a lead screw A211, an extrusion inclined iron A212, a transmission rod A213 and a linear guide rail A214. The linear guide rail A214 is arranged on the center line of the top end surface of the support base A23 along the length direction of the elongated hollow thin-walled box structure. The extrusion inclined iron A212 is arranged on the linear guide rail A214 in a sliding fit. One end of the extrusion inclined iron A212 is threadedly connected with the lead screw A211. The other end of the extrusion inclined iron A212 is connected with the extrusion inclined iron A212 in the other internal positioning unit through the transmission rod A213. The top of the extrusion inclined iron A212, the side corresponding to the first guide rail 100 and the side corresponding to the second guide rail 200 are all provided with extrusion inclined surfaces. The extrusion inclined surfaces are in abutting connection with one end of the pressing part or one end of the supporting part.

[0067] The extrusion inclined iron A212 is provided with an extrusion inclined surface on the side corresponding to the first guide rail 100, on the side corresponding to the second guide rail 200, and on the top surface of the extrusion inclined iron A212. By rotating the screw A211 in the forward direction, the extrusion inclined iron A212 is driven to move linearly in the length direction of the elongated hollow thin-walled box structure, at which time the extrusion inclined surface extrudes the guide rail clamping support rod and the upper plane support rod, so that the guide rail clamping support rod clamps the first guide rail 100 and the second guide rail 200, and the upper plane support plate clamps the top inner wall of the elongated hollow thin-walled box structure. When the screw A211 is rotated in the reverse direction, the extrusion inclined iron A212 is driven to move linearly in the length direction of the elongated hollow thin-walled box structure in the reverse direction, at which time the extrusion inclined surface no longer extrudes the guide rail clamping support rod and the upper plane support rod, so that the guide rail clamping support rod retracts under the action of the spring and is separated from the first guide rail 100 and the second guide rail 200. The upper plane support rod retracts under the action of the spring and drives the upper plane support plate to be separated from the top inner wall of the elongated hollow thin-walled box structure.
