Abstract
Description

To ensure the quality of welding, preheating before welding is an important means of welding quality. At present, the preheating of towers before welding mainly adopts continuous baking preheating by multiple people holding torches. The disadvantages of this preheating method are that it takes up more manpower, the preheating is insufficient and uneven, especially the preheating of the annular seam is particularly prominent, and it is easy to cause welding quality problems.

By rotating the tower, the steel plates on both sides of the ring seam can be evenly preheated; the tightness of the pull wire can be adjusted by rotating the screw, thereby adjusting the cantilever curvature, and achieving perfect fit with tower side walls of various specifications. However, this welding preheating device has the following defects:
[0004] 1. The nozzle is fixedly connected to the fixed sleeve wall and the movable escape. After the cantilever curvature is adjusted, although it can be used with towers of various specifications, the angles between the nozzles are offset, and there may be a problem of flame crossover, which will cause uneven heating of the tower;
