[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a welding system for the annular seam of a stainless steel rocket tank assembly, including: a short barrel-short barrel annular seam welding internal support module 2-2 and a short barrel-end cap annular seam welding internal support module 2-3. The short barrel-short barrel annular seam welding internal support module 2-2 includes a short barrel-short barrel support module and a short barrel-short barrel internal support module 2-2-1, and the short barrel-short barrel support module is used to support the short barrel-short barrel internal support module 2-2-1. The short barrel-short barrel internal support module 2-2-1 can rotate along the circumferential direction of the short barrel-short barrel support module to support the butt annular seam between the short barrels. The short barrel-end cap annular seam welding internal support module 2-3 includes a short barrel-end cap support base 2-3-1 and a foldable column module 2-3-2, and the short barrel-end cap support base 2-3-1 is used to support the foldable column module 2-3-2. The foldable column module 2-3-2 includes a short cylinder-end support column 2-3-2-3 and a short cylinder-end internal support module. The short cylinder-end internal support module can rotate around the short cylinder-end support column 2-3-2-3 to make the free end of the short cylinder-end internal support module approach or move away from the short cylinder-end support column 2-3-2-3. The foldable column module 2-3-2 can rotate around the circumferential direction of the short cylinder-end support base 2-3-1 to drive the short cylinder-end internal support module to rotate around the circumferential direction of the short cylinder-end support base 2-3-1 to support the butt joint annular seam between the short cylinder and the end cap.

[0028] Specifically, in the existing short-barrel welding of the tank assembly head, the internal support tooling mostly adopts an integral internal support structure, which has the following characteristics: first, it is mainly used for aluminum alloy or other steel tanks with a wall thickness greater than 4 mm. The inner wall of this type of tank has high rigidity and high requirements for roundness, and an integral support is required to meet production needs; second, the internal support structure of the integral support equipment is complex and difficult to manufacture. It is restricted by the interference of the circuit and gas lines of the internal support equipment, and the overall support structure is difficult to shrink, making it difficult to balance the equipment volume and rigidity. When the bottom flange of the tank bottom head is limited, the use of an integral internal support equipment will inevitably weaken the rigidity of the internal support tooling and reduce the space occupied by a single internal support; third, the existing integral internal support tooling has poor rigidity in the radial direction in the manufacture of large tanks (tanks with a diameter of more than 3.5 m), and the support arm is too long. The tooling needs to extend deeper into the tank, limiting its scope of use.

[0029] In this embodiment, the girth welded internal support module 2 for the stainless steel tank assembly includes a short-tube-short-tube girth welded internal support module 2-2 and a short-tube-end cap girth welded internal support module 2-3, which are respectively used to support the butt girths of the short-tubes and the butt girths of the short-tubes and the end caps, and the short-tube-end cap internal support module rotates around the short-tube-end cap support column 2-3-2-3 in the plane where the axis of the short-tube-end cap support column 2-3-2-3 is located, thereby realizing the folding and unfolding of the short-tube-end cap internal support module. The welding system uses a segmented welding process to complete the welding of all girths of the assembly, and does not need to use weld tracking. In addition, the welding system does not require the disassembly of the internal support module 2, especially when welding the butt-joint annular seam between the short cylinder and the head, the short cylinder-head annular seam welding internal support module 2-3 does not need to be disassembled, and the welding of the short cylinder butt-joint annular seam of the stainless steel tank assembly and the short cylinder sealing annular seam of the head can be supported through the manhole, thereby simplifying the annular seam welding process of the stainless steel tank assembly.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the girth welding internal support module 2, the welding system also includes an auxiliary frame 1 for lifting the storage tank, cooperating with the short cylinder-short cylinder girth welding internal support module 2-2 and the short cylinder-head girth welding internal support module 2-3, to perform butt joint and butt girth welding of short cylinders and short cylinders, and short cylinders and heads.

[0031] In this embodiment, the auxiliary frame 1 can be used to lift and position the tank, cooperate with the short cylinder-short cylinder annular seam welding internal support module 2-2 and the short cylinder-head annular seam welding internal support module 2-3 to internally support the butt annular seams between the short cylinders and the short cylinders and the heads, and cooperate with the welding equipment to form a welding tool. The auxiliary frame 1 can also provide installation space for the welding equipment or welding module 4 (such as laser welding equipment), and provide space for lifting and transporting the tank.

[0032] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a short cylinder-head support base column 2-3-2-16 is arranged at the lower end of the short cylinder-head support column 2-3-2-3, and the short cylinder-head support column 2-3-2-3 is rotatably connected to the short cylinder-head support base column 2-3-2-16.

[0033] Further, the short cylinder-end head support base column 2-3-2-16 is provided with a rotary gear 2-3-2-1 along its circumferential direction, and the short cylinder-end head support base column 2-3-2-3 is provided with a driving gear mechanism 2-3-2-2 corresponding to the rotary gear 2-3-2-1. The rotary gear 2-3-2-1 cooperates with the driving gear mechanism 2-3-2-2 to drive the short cylinder-end head support base column 2-3-2-3 to rotate relative to the short cylinder-end head support base column 2-3-2-16 or the short cylinder-end head support base 2-3-1.

[0034] In this embodiment, the rotary gear 2-3-2-1 can be arranged near the upper end of the short cylinder-head support base column 2-3-2-16, and the driving gear mechanism 2-3-2-2 is arranged near the lower end of the short cylinder-head support column 2-3-2-3.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the short-barrel-short-barrel girth welding internal support module 2-2 and the short-barrel-end cap girth welding internal support module 2-3, the welding system further includes a ground rail 2-4. The short-barrel-short-barrel girth welding internal support module 2-2 and the short-barrel-end cap girth welding internal support module 2-3 can move along the ground rail 2-4 to reach a predetermined welding station.

[0036] In this embodiment, the lower end surface of the short cylinder-end support base 2-3-1 can be provided with a through hole and a guide rail drive motor, and the through hole is adapted to the ground rail 2-4. The guide rail drive motor is started, and the short cylinder-end support base 2-3-1 moves along the ground rail 2-4 to the welding station.

[0037] like Figure 6 and 7 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the girth welding internal support module 2, the welding system also includes a girth welding external clamping module 3, which is used to clamp the butt girths between short tubes and short tubes, and the butt girths between short tubes and heads.

[0038] In this embodiment, the annular seam welding external clamping module 3 and the annular seam welding internal support module 2 cooperate to clamp the annular seam to complete the annular seam welding between the head and the short cylinder, the short cylinder and the short cylinder, or the (sealing box) short cylinder and the head.

[0039] like Figure 8As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the short-tube-short-tube support module includes a central axis 2-2-1-1, and the short-tube-short-tube inner support module 2-2-1 includes a rotating rod 2-2-1-2. The two ends of the rotating rod are respectively connected to the central axis 2-2-1-1 and the short-tube-short-tube inner support block 2-2-1-3, and the rotating rod 2-2-1-2 can rotate around the central axis 2-2-1-1 to drive the short-tube-short-tube inner support block 2-2-1-3 to rotate.

[0040] In this embodiment, the central axis 2-2-1-1 can be driven by a motor (or the central axis 2-2-1-1 is a motor) to drive the short cylinder-short cylinder inner support module 2-2-1 to rotate circumferentially around the central axis 2-2-1-1. The short cylinder-short cylinder inner support block 2-2-1-3 can be a non-full circle, for example, the circumferential length of the short cylinder-short cylinder inner support block 2-2-1-3 can be 1 / X of the inner circumference of the short cylinder, and X can be 3 to 12.

[0041] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the short-barrel-short-barrel support module includes a short-barrel-short-barrel support base 2-2-3, a short-barrel-short-barrel support column 2-2-2 and a short-barrel-short-barrel support disk 2-2-4. A plurality of short-barrel-short-barrel support columns 2-2-2 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the short-barrel-short-barrel support base 2-2-3, and the short-barrel-short-barrel support columns 2-2-2 are used to support the short-barrel-short-barrel support disk 2-2-4. The short-barrel-short-barrel support disk 2-2-4 is used to place the short-barrel-short-barrel inner support module 2-2-1. A central axis 2-2-1-1 is arranged in the middle of the short-barrel-short-barrel support disk 2-2-4, and the short-barrel-short-barrel inner support module 2-2-1 can rotate along the circumferential direction of the short-barrel-short-barrel support disk 2-2-4 to support the butt joint annular seam between the short barrels.

[0042] In this embodiment, the lower end surface of the short-short-barrel support base 2-2-3 can be provided with a through hole and a guide rail drive motor adapted to the ground rail 2-4, so that the short-short-barrel support base 2-2-3 can move along the ground rail 2-4. The short-short-barrel support column 2-2-2 and the short-short-barrel support base 2-2-3 can be fixed by welding or screw indentation. The short-short-barrel support column 2-2-2 can include a central column arranged on the short-short-barrel support base 2-2-3 and 6 symmetrical point secondary balance columns evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the short-short-barrel support base 2-2-3.

[0043] The rotating rod 2-2-1-2 can be provided with a driving cylinder (such as a cylinder), and the two ends of the driving cylinder are respectively connected to the central axis 2-2-1-1 (motor) and the short cylinder-short cylinder inner support block 2-2-1-3. The driving cylinder is telescopic to drive the short cylinder-short cylinder inner support block 2-2-1-3 to approach or move away from the annular seam, so as to facilitate loading and unloading or tighten the annular seam. The contact surface between the short cylinder-short cylinder inner support block 2-2-1-3 and the short cylinder can be a contoured arc surface that fits the inner side of the short cylinder, and the radius of the arc surface is equal to the inner diameter of the short cylinder.

When rolling the annular seam between the short-tubes, the short-tube-short-tube rolling support surface 2-2-1-3-2 is used to support the annular seam.

[0047] In this embodiment, the short-tube-short-tube rolling support surface 2-2-1-3-2 can be set 100mm below the short-tube-short-tube arc-shaped gas protection groove 2-2-1-3-1, and the width of the short-tube-short-tube rolling support surface 2-2-1-3-2 can be 20-60mm. The short-tube-short-tube rolling support surface 2-2-1-3-2 can be embedded in the short-tube-short-tube inner support block 2-2-1-3 using hard alloy as a base material.

[0048] like Figure 4 and 5As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the short cylinder-end cap internal support module includes a first drive link 2-3-2-5, a connecting arm 2-3-2-7 and a short cylinder-end cap internal support block 2-3-2-13, and the two ends of the connecting arm 2-3-2-7 are respectively connected to the short cylinder-end cap support column 2-3-2-3 and the short cylinder-end cap internal support block 2-3-2-13. The short cylinder-end cap internal support block 2-3-2-13 is used to support the butt joint annular seam between the short cylinder and the end cap. One end of the first drive link 2-3-2-5 is connected to the short cylinder-end cap support column 2-3-2-3 through the first screw slider 2-3-2-4, and the other end of the first drive link 2-3-2-5 is connected to the free end of the connecting arm 2-3-2-7.

The end face of the short cylinder-end inner support block 2-3-2-13 in contact with the short cylinder or the end can be an arc surface or a cylindrical surface, and the radius of the arc surface is equal to the radius of the inner surface of the short cylinder. The short cylinder-end cap inner support block 2-3-2-13 can be a non-full circle. For example, the circumferential length of the short cylinder-end cap inner support block 2-3-2-13 can be 1 / X of the inner circumference of the short cylinder, and X can be 3 to 12. For example, the arc length of the arc surface of the short cylinder-end cap inner support block 2-3-2-13 can be 1 to 3m, and the width is 50 to 200mm. After the short cylinder-end cap inner support module is folded and contracted, the overall volume and space occupied are approximately 1 / X of the space occupied by the full-circle inner support tooling, which can reduce the complexity and cost of the system.

[0050] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a first ejection cylinder 2-3-2-6 is disposed on the side of the short cylinder-end support column 2-3-2-3. The first ejection cylinder 2-3-2-6 ejects, cooperates with the first screw slider 2-3-2-4 and the first driving connecting rod 2-3-2-5, and pushes the connecting arm 2-3-2-7 to rotate.

The second screw slider 2-3-2-8 can slide along the axial direction of the connecting arm 2-3-2-7 to drive the connecting rod 2-3-2-10 to rotate.

[0055] In this embodiment, the connecting arm 2-3-2-7 is provided with a second screw rod along its axial direction, and the second screw rod slider 2-3-2-8 moves along the second screw rod, driving the second connecting rod 2-3-2-9 to push or pull the connecting rod 2-3-2-10 to rotate, so as to realize the opening and closing of the connecting arm 2-3-2-7 and the connecting rod 2-3-2-10. The two ends of the second connecting rod 2-3-2-9 can be connected to the second screw rod slider 2-3-2-8 and the connecting rod 2-3-2-10 respectively through pins. The foldable column module can drive the connecting arm 2-3-2-7 and the connecting rod 2-3-2-10 to rotate through the first driving connecting rod 2-3-2-5 and the second connecting rod 2-3-2-9, thereby realizing the folding and unfolding of the foldable column module 2-3-2.

The second ejection cylinder 2-3-2-14 ejects and cooperates with the second screw slider 2-3-2-8 and the second connecting rod 2-3-2-9 to push the connecting rod 2-3-2-10 to rotate.

[0057] In this embodiment, for example, when the connecting rod 2-3-2-10 is substantially in contact with or parallel to the connecting arm 2-3-2-7, the second ejection cylinder 2-3-2-14 is ejected, and cooperates with the second screw slider 2-3-2-8 and the second connecting rod 2-3-2-9 to push the connecting rod 2-3-2-10 to rotate, thereby realizing the opening of the connecting rod 2-3-2-10. The second ejection cylinder 2-3-2-14 can be an electric drive cylinder. The second ejection cylinder 2-3-2-14 can be installed on the side of the connecting arm 2-3-2-7 by screws.

[0058] like Fig.10 As shown, support rods 2-3-2-11 are respectively arranged on both sides of the connecting rod 2-3-2-10, and the support rods 2-3-2-11 are used to tighten the inner side surface of the short tube-head inner support block 2-3-2-13.

[0059] In this embodiment, for example, when the outer side surface of the short cylinder-end cap inner support block 2-3-2-13 is pressed against the short cylinder skin, the support rod 2-3-2-11 is pressed against the inner side surface of the short cylinder-end cap inner support block 2-3-2-13, providing internal support and positioning to the short cylinder-end cap inner support block 2-3-2-13. Support rods 2-3-2-11 are respectively arranged on both sides of the connecting rod 2-3-2-10, which can provide more uniform internal support to the short cylinder-end cap inner support block 2-3-2-13, improve the rigidity of the system, and at the same time, can improve the ability of the short cylinder-end cap inner support block 2-3-2-13 to withstand radial pressure, making the support more stable. The support rod 2-3-2-11 can be a cylinder support rod. The support rod 2-3-2-11 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 2-3-2-10.

[0060] like Fig.12 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting rod 2-3-2-10 is provided with a retraction cylinder 2-3-2-15 connected to the support rod 2-3-2-11, and the retraction cylinder 2-3-2-15 is retracted to allow the retraction cylinder 2-3-2-15 to rotate closer to or away from the connecting support rod 2-3-2-11.

[0061] In this embodiment, the retracting cylinder 2-3-2-15 is telescopically controlled to rotate the retracting cylinder 2-3-2-15 close to or away from the connecting support rod 2-3-2-11 to realize the opening and closing of the support rod 2-3-2-11. The retracting cylinder 2-3-2-15 can be a cylinder. The retracting cylinder 2-3-2-15 can be arranged in the connecting rod 2-3-2-10.

The two-axis connecting rod 2-3-2-12 can rotate relative to the connecting rod 2-3-2-10 along its axial direction to drive the short cylinder-end support block 2-3-2-13 to rotate.

[0063] In this embodiment, a first motor 2-3-2-12-1 may be provided at the end of the connecting rod 2-3-2-10 for connecting the two-axis connecting rod 2-3-2-12. The first motor 2-3-2-12-1 is used to drive the two-axis connecting rod 2-3-2-12 and the short cylinder-head inner support block 2-3-2-13 to rotate around the axial direction of the connecting rod 2-3-2-10.

[0064] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a rotating shaft 2-3-2-12-3 perpendicular to the axial direction of the two-axis connecting rod 2-3-2-12 is arranged at the end away from the connecting rod 2-3-2-10, and the short cylinder-end cap inner support block 2-3-2-13 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 2-3-2-12-3. The rotating shaft 2-3-2-12-3 rotates, driving the short cylinder-end cap inner support block 2-3-2-13 to rotate around the two-axis connecting rod 2-3-2-12 in the plane where the axis of the two-axis connecting rod 2-3-2-12 is located.

[0065] In this embodiment, the two-axis connecting rod 2-3-2-12 can be provided with a second motor 2-3-12-2 connected to the rotating shaft 2-3-2-12-3, and the second motor 2-3-12-2 is used to drive the rotating shaft 2-3-2-12-3 to rotate around its axial direction, so as to drive the short cylinder-end support block 2-3-2-13 to rotate around the two-axis connecting rod 2-3-2-12 in the plane where the axis of the two-axis connecting rod 2-3-2-12 is located.

The welding system further reduces the occupied volume and space through multi-degree-of-freedom folding.

[0066] like Fig.15 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a short cylinder-head protective gas inlet 2-3-2-13-3 can be provided on the upper end surface of the short cylinder-head inner support block 2-3-2-13, and a short cylinder-head arc-shaped gas protection groove 2-3-2-13-2 is provided on the contact surface between the short cylinder-head inner support block 2-3-2-13 and the short cylinder along its circumferential direction, and the short cylinder-head protective gas inlet 2-3-2-13-3 is connected with the short cylinder-head arc-shaped gas protection groove 2-3-2-13-2 to provide protective gas to the butt annular seam between the short cylinder and the head.

[0067] In this embodiment, the upper end surface of the short cylinder-end inner support block 2-3-2-13 can be provided with a plurality of short cylinder-end protective gas inlets 2-3-2-13-3 along its length direction. The groove width of the short cylinder-end arc-shaped gas protection groove 2-3-2-13-2 can be 5-20 mm, and the groove depth can be 20-50 mm. The short cylinder-end arc-shaped gas protection groove 2-3-2-13-2 can be 100 mm away from the upper end surface of the short cylinder-end inner support block 2-3-2-13.

[0068] According to one embodiment of the present invention, an arc-shaped inner support copper steel plate can be provided on the contact surface between the short cylinder-end head inner support block 2-3-2-13 and the short cylinder to prevent splashing objects from adhering to the short cylinder-end head inner support block 2-3-2-13.

[0069] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped inner supporting copper steel plate can be arranged around the short cylinder-head arc-shaped gas protection groove 2-3-2-13-2.

[0070] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the contact surface between the short cylinder-end cap inner support block 2-3-2-13 and the short cylinder is provided with a short cylinder-end cap rolling support surface 2-3-2-13-1 along its circumferential direction. When rolling the annular seam between the short cylinder and the end cap, the short cylinder-end cap rolling support surface 2-3-2-13-1 is used to support the annular seam.

[0071] In this embodiment, the short cylinder-end head rolling support surface 2-3-2-13-1 can be set 50mm below the short cylinder-end head arc-shaped gas protection groove 2-3-2-13-2, and the width of the short cylinder-end head rolling support surface 2-3-2-13-1 can be 20-60mm. The short cylinder-end head rolling support surface 2-3-2-13-1 can be embedded in the short cylinder-end head inner support block 2-3-2-13 using a steel plate or a cemented carbide as a base material.

[0072] like Fig.16 and 17 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the girth welding inner support module 2, the welding system further comprises a welding module 4. The welding module 4 comprises a welding head 4-2 for welding the girth.

[0073] In this embodiment, the welding head 4 - 2 may be a laser welding head.

[0074] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the welding head 4-2, the welding module 4 further includes a frame column 4-1. The welding head 4-2 is mounted on the frame column 4-1 and can slide relative to the frame column 4-1 in multiple directions.

[0075] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a third screw rod is provided along the axial direction of the frame column 4-1, and a third screw rod slider is provided on the third screw rod. The third screw rod slider is provided with a connecting plate perpendicular to the frame column 4-1, and a radial guide rail is provided on the connecting plate. The welding head 4-2 can be slidably provided relative to the radial guide rail to approach or move away from the annular seam to be welded. The third screw rod slider can be slidably provided along the axial direction of the third screw rod to drive the welding head 4-2 to move along the axial direction of the frame column 4-1.

[0076] Furthermore, the radial guide rail is provided with an electric-driven slider, and the welding head 4-2 is installed on the electric-driven slider.

[0077] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the welding head 4-2 is provided with clamping wheels 4-4 on both sides thereof along the welding direction, and the clamping wheels 4-4 are used to clamp the edges to be welded.

[0078] In this embodiment, the clamping wheel 4 - 4 clamps the edge to be welded before welding, which can eliminate the misalignment of the weld and perform shaping before welding.

[0079] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the welding head 4-2, the welding module 4 further includes a rolling mechanism 4-3, and the rolling mechanism 4-3 is used to roll the annular seam after welding.

[0080] The welding system of this embodiment can roll and level the weld after welding is completed through the rolling mechanism 4-3.

[0081] Furthermore, the rolling mechanism 4-3 is installed on an electrically driven slider to move closer to or away from the annular seam to be welded.

[0082] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the annular seam welding external clamping module 3 includes a clamping mechanism frame 3-1, the clamping mechanism frame 3-1 is provided with a clamping cylinder 3-2 and a clamping block 3-3, and the clamping cylinder 3-2 and the clamping block 3-3 are fixedly connected. The clamping cylinder 3-2 is retractable to drive the clamping block 3-3 to clamp the annular seam.

[0083] In this embodiment, the clamping cylinder 3-2 can be a cylinder, and the clamping block 3-3 is installed on the driving rod of the clamping cylinder 3-2. The contact surface between the clamping block 3-3 and the annular seam can be an arc surface, and the radius of the arc surface is equal to the outer radius of the short cylinder. The clamping block 3-3 can be an electromagnetic clamping block. For example, when the annular seam is rolled, the power supply of the electromagnetic clamping block is started to provide suction for the electromagnetic clamping block, and the suction can act on the short cylinder-short cylinder inner support block 2-2-1-3 or the short cylinder-end head inner support block 2-3-2-13, and provide suction support while the clamping block 3-3 compresses the annular seam. The suction of the electromagnetic clamping block cooperates with the internal support of the connecting rod 2-3-2-10, the support rod 2-3-2-11 and the short cylinder-end head inner support block 2-3-2-13, which can effectively solve the problem that the rolling force acting on the short cylinder-end head inner support block 2-3-2-13 easily causes the support to become unstable. The welding system can provide tensile force, which can offset most of the rolling force during rolling, ensuring that the rolling force acting on the short tube-short tube inner support block 2-2-1-3 or the short tube-head inner support block 2-3-2-13 is within a preset range, reducing the rigidity requirements for the welding system and making the structure more compact.

[0084] The clamping mechanism frame 3-1 can be provided with multiple groups of clamping cylinders 3-2 and clamping blocks 3-3. For example, multiple groups of clamping cylinders 3-2 and clamping blocks 3-3 can be evenly arranged along the length direction of the clamping mechanism frame 3-1. The clamping mechanism frame 3-1 can be provided with two symmetrical rows of clamping cylinders 3-2 and clamping blocks 3-3, which are respectively used to clamp the two sides of the butt joint annular seam. The vertical distance between the two rows of clamping cylinders 3-2 and clamping blocks 3-3 can be 40~80mm, providing avoidance space for welding and rolling.

[0085] like Fig.18 and 19As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the clamping mechanism frame 3-1, the circumferential welded external clamping module 3 also includes an external clamping mechanism support column 3-4 and an external clamping mechanism support base 3-5. External clamping mechanism support columns 3-4 are respectively arranged at both ends of the external clamping mechanism support base 3-5, and external clamping mechanism mounting seats 3-6 are respectively arranged on the sides of the external clamping mechanism support columns 3-4 that are away from each other. The clamping mechanism frame 3-1 includes a clamping mechanism frame crossbeam 3-1-1, and clamping mechanism frame brackets 3-1-2 are respectively arranged at both ends of the clamping mechanism frame crossbeam 3-1-1. The clamping mechanism frame crossbeam 3-1-1 is used to install a clamping cylinder 3-2 and a clamping block 3-3. The two clamping mechanism frame brackets 3-1-2 of the clamping mechanism frame 3-1 are respectively placed on the corresponding external clamping mechanism mounting seats 3-6 to support the clamping mechanism frame 3-1.

[0086] In this embodiment, the external clamping mechanism support base 3-5 is an arc-shaped device adapted to the outer side surface of the short cylinder.

[0087] like Fig. 20 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the sides of the two outer clamping mechanism support columns 3-4 that are away from each other are respectively provided with fourth screw rods 3-9 along their axial directions. The fourth screw rod 3-9 is provided with a fourth slider that can slide along its axial direction, the clamping mechanism frame bracket 3-1-2 is fixedly connected to the fourth slider, and the fourth slider slides along the fourth screw rod 3-9 to drive the clamping mechanism frame 3-1 to move.

[0088] The welding system of this embodiment can drive the frame 3-1, the clamping cylinder 3-2 and the clamping block 3-3 of the annular seam welding clamping mechanism to move up and down in the vertical direction by moving the fourth slider along the axial direction of the fourth screw rod 3-9 to adapt to the height of the annular seams of the short tubes and the short tubes and the end caps, and clamp the annular seams. The axial direction of the external clamping mechanism support column 3-4 or the fourth slider along the fourth screw rod 3-9 is the vertical direction of the welding system in actual application.

[0089] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, in order to ensure that the clamping mechanism support column 3-4 supports the clamping mechanism frame 3-1 more stably, multiple clamping mechanism support columns 3-4 can be set at both ends of the external clamping mechanism support base 3-5 (such as two clamping mechanism support columns 3-4 are set at both ends of the external clamping mechanism support base 3-5), and correspondingly, the clamping mechanism support columns 3-4 can be set with a fourth screw rod 3-9, a fourth slider and an external clamping mechanism mounting seat 3-6.

[0090] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the welding module 4 is disposed on the external clamping mechanism support base 3 - 5 and can move relative to the external clamping mechanism support base 3 - 5 along the welding direction of the annular seam.

[0091] like Fig.18 and 21 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, between two external clamping mechanism support columns 3-4, the external clamping mechanism support base 3-5 is provided with a base circular arc bevel gear guide rail 3-7. Both ends of the base circular arc bevel gear guide rail 3-7 extend toward the external clamping mechanism support column 3-4 respectively. The welding module also includes a frame base 4-4, and the frame column 4-1 is arranged on the frame base 4-4. The lower end surface of the frame base 4-4 is provided with a driving bevel gear mechanism 4-5 meshing with the base circular arc bevel gear guide rail 3-7, and the driving bevel gear mechanism 4-5 can move along the base circular arc bevel gear guide rail 3-7 to drive the welding head to move, thereby realizing circumferential welding of the annular seam.

[0092] In this embodiment, the base arc helical gear guide rail 3-7 is an arc shape adapted to the outer side surface of the short tube. The driving helical gear mechanism 4-5 may include a driving motor and a gear. The driving motor drives the gear to rotate along the base arc helical gear guide rail 3-7, which can drive the welding module 4 to perform reciprocating circular arc motion to weld the annular seam along the circumferential direction of the short tube. The base arc helical gear guide rail 3-7 can be locked on the external clamping mechanism support base 3-5 by screws.

[0093] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the external clamping mechanism supports the base 3-5 to be provided with a base rail 3-8, and the lower end surface of the frame base 4-4 is provided with a guide wheel 4-6 corresponding to the base rail 3-8. The guide wheel 4-6 moves along the base rail 3-8 to provide guidance for the welding module 4 to move along the circumferential seam welding direction.

[0094] In this embodiment, the base rail 3-8 can be an arc shape that matches the outer side of the short tube, ensuring that the welding module 4 can make reciprocating arc motion along the base rail 3-8. The base rail 3-8 can be locked on the external clamping mechanism support base 3-5 by screws.

[0095] like Fig. 22 , 23 As shown in Figures 24, according to one embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the annular seam welding inner support module 2 and the welding module 4, the welding system also includes a welding support module 5. The welding support module 5 is used to support the welding module 4. The welding support module 5 includes an annular welding bottom guide rail 5-1, and the welding module 4 can move along the welding bottom guide rail 5-1 so that the welding module 4 rotates around the circumferential direction of the short barrel.

[0096] In this embodiment, the short cylinder, the head, the short cylinder-short cylinder annular seam welding inner support module 2-2 or the short cylinder-head annular seam welding inner support module 2-3 to be welded is placed in the middle of the welding support module 5 (i.e., the middle of the annular welding bottom guide rail 5-1), and the annular seam welding external pressure module 3 and the welding module are placed on the annular welding bottom guide rail 5-1. The annular seam welding external pressure module 3 and the welding module can rotate along the annular welding bottom guide rail 5-1 around the circumferential direction of the butt annular seam to weld the entire annular seam.

[0097] Furthermore, the welding support module 5 also includes a welding bottom support seat 5-2, and the welding bottom guide rail 5-1 is installed on the welding bottom support seat 5-2.

[0098] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the lower end surface of the external clamping mechanism support base 3-5 is provided with a limiting wheel 3-10 corresponding to the welding bottom guide rail 5-1. The limiting wheel 3-10 can move along the welding bottom guide rail 5-1.

[0099] In this embodiment, the limiting wheel 3-10 moves along the welding bottom guide rail 5-1, which can drive the annular seam welding external pressure module 3 and the welding module 4 to rotate around the circumferential direction of the short cylinder to press and weld the entire annular seam.

[0100] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the external clamping mechanism supporting base 3-5 is provided with a base driving mechanism 3-11.
