[0032] In the present invention, the steel pipe to be welded has been tightly fitted, and the steel pipe to be welded is fixed by the sleeve 6 and the clamping assembly, and the welding electrode 18 is automatically moved in a circular motion around the fixed electrode 7 by the first driving assembly to perform circumferential welding on the steel pipe to be welded, thereby improving the welding quality and welding efficiency.

An annular groove connected to the annular cavity is provided at the outer wall of the insulating mounting ring 4 corresponding to the annular cavity, and a conductor 9 matching the annular groove is provided on the inner wall corresponding to the through hole and the annular groove. The conductor 9 is in sliding contact with the first annular conductor 5 so that the conductor supplies power to the welding electrode 18. Specifically, the conductor 9 is a conductive brush or a conductive sliding sheet.

[0034] In this embodiment, a welding power source is also included, and the conductor 9 and the fixed electrode 7 are electrically connected to the welding power source. A switch is provided between the welding power source and the fixed electrode 7 or the conductor 9 to control the on and off of the power supply of the welding power source.

[0035] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly includes two guide columns 10, an upper clamping plate 11, a lower clamping plate 12 and a second driving assembly. The two guide columns 10 are symmetrically arranged on the base 1. The upper clamping plate 11 and the lower clamping plate 12 are arranged up and down. The two ends of the lower clamping plate 12 are respectively fixedly connected to the two guide columns 10.

The output shaft of the driving motor 14 is fixedly connected to the gear. The gear is meshed with the gear teeth of the annular extension portion, so that the driving motor 14 can drive the insulating mounting ring 4 to rotate when it is working, thereby driving the welding electrode 18 to rotate for annular seam welding.

The weld detection component signal is connected to the controller. The controller controls the connection of the third drive component to drive the mounting seat 2 to slide along the guide rail 15 so that the welding electrode 18 is at the weld position of the steel pipe to be welded, thereby further improving the welding accuracy and welding quality.

[0040] Specifically, the third driving assembly can be a push cylinder, which works, and the piston rod of the push cylinder pushes the mounting seat to slide along the guide rail, which is a prior art. Specifically, the controller controls the connection and disconnection of the drive motor 14 and the welding power supply respectively, so as to automatically perform welding, improve the degree of automation, and further improve the welding quality and welding efficiency.

[0041] Reference Figure 4 In this embodiment, the weld detection assembly includes a second annular conductor 16, a first detection probe 17, a second detection probe, a detection power supply and a signal detector;

[0042] The second annular conductor 16 is arranged on the insulating mounting ring 4, an insulating material is arranged between the first annular conductor 5 and the second annular conductor 16, the first detection probe 17 is arranged radially inside the insulating mounting ring 4, and the first detection probe 17 and the welding electrode are arranged in the same circumferential direction along the inner wall of the insulating mounting ring 4;

[0043] The first end of the first detection probe 17 is connected to the second annular conductor 16, the second end of the first detection probe 17 is used for elastically extruding the steel pipe to be welded, the second annular conductor 16 is connected to the detection power supply, the second detection probe is used to connect the steel pipe to be welded, the second detection probe is connected to the detection power supply, and the signal detector is connected in series between the second detection probe and the detection power supply.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first detection probe 17, the second annular conductor 16, the detection power supply, the signal detector and the second detection probe are connected in series in sequence to form a detection circuit, and the second detection probe is connected to the steel pipe to be welded, wherein the signal of the signal detector is connected to the controller, so when the second end of the first detection probe 17 elastically squeezes the steel pipe to be welded, the detection circuit is in a conducting state, and the mounting seat 2 is driven to move by the third driving component. When the second end of the first detection probe 17 enters the weld, that is, when it does not contact the steel pipe, the detection circuit is in an open circuit state, and the signal detector detects the open circuit signal and can transmit the signal to the controller. The controller controls the drive motor 14 to work and controls the welding power supply to supply power, thereby driving the insulating mounting ring 4 to rotate, thereby driving the welding electrode 18 to weld. Specifically, the second end of the first detection probe 17 enters the weld.

[0045] Reference Figure 5 In this embodiment, the first detection probe 17 includes an insulating mounting sleeve 171, a detection probe 172, a conductive elastic connector 173 and a detection probe head 174. The detection probe 172 is connected to the second annular conductor 16. The insulating mounting sleeve 171 is sleeved on the detection probe 172. One end of the elastic connector 173 is fixedly connected to the detection probe 172, and the other end extends out of the insulating mounting sleeve 171 and is fixedly connected to the detection probe head 174. The detection probe head 174 can compress the elastic connector 173 and extend and retract along the length direction of the detection probe head 174.

[0046] The position of the weld is detected by the first detection probe 17. When it is not in the weld position, the detection probe head 174 squeezes the steel pipe to be welded under the elastic force of the elastic connector 173, and the entire detection circuit is in a conducting state. When the movable mounting seat 2 makes the first detection probe 17 in the weld position, the detection probe head 174 enters the weld under the elastic force of the elastic connector 173, and the entire detection circuit is in a disconnected state. The signal detector transmits the signal to the controller, and the third driving component of the controller stops working and disconnects, and controls the driving motor 14 to work, and controls the welding power supply to supply power, thereby driving the insulating mounting ring 4 to rotate, thereby driving the welding electrode 18 to weld. Specifically, the detection probe head 174 includes an insulating cone probe and a needle-shaped conductor arranged at the tip of the insulating cone probe. The needle-shaped conductor is connected to the elastic connector 173 so that the tip of the insulating cone probe enters the weld, while the insulating cone probe does not enter the weld, and the detection probe head 174 can shrink under the action of the weld, so that the tip of the insulating cone probe leaves the weld. Specifically, the natural length of the elastic connector 173 and the length of the detection probe 172 are set according to actual conditions, so that the tip of the insulating cone probe enters the weld and can shrink under the action of the weld of the steel pipe, thereby not affecting the welding. Specifically, the elastic connector 173 is a spring.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
