Preferably, because the first slider 3 and the second slider 4 can move in the chute 2 under the rotation action of the bidirectional threaded rod 5, the first slider 3 and the second slider 4 can drive the movable rod 8 to move when moving, and both ends of the movable rod 8 can rotate on the mounting groove 7 and the mounting plate 15 under the action of relative displacement when moving, and along with the movement of the first slider 3 and the second slider 4, the movement of the movable rod 8 can drive the operation table 11 to move up and down. When the first slider 3 and the second slider 4 are close to each other, the operation table 11 moves downward, and when the first slider 3 and the second slider 4 are far away from each other, the operation table 11 moves upward. The operating table 11 drives the telescopic rod 10 to move up and down in the sleeve 9 when moving up and down. Therefore, the operation table 11 can be driven to move up and down by the movement of the first sliding block 3 and the second sliding block 4, and the height adjustment of the support frame is realized, so that the workpieces on the operation table 11 can be welded conveniently.
