[0002] During the construction of a tunnel using the drill and blast method, a large number of steel arch frames need to be transported to the tunnel for assembly. After the steel arch frames are bent in the ground shed, steel pads need to be welded at both ends. The quality of steel pad welding directly affects the quality of steel arch assembly in the tunnel, resulting in construction problems such as uneven steel arch frames, uneven hole positions, and difficulty in docking, which seriously affects the stress of the initial support structure of the tunnel and threatens the safety of the initial support construction of the tunnel. At present, there are two main forms of steel pad welding operations for tunnel steel arch frames:

[0003] First, manually draw lines with chalk on the steel plate to be welded to mark the welding position, and then hold the steel plate close to the end of the steel arch frame for welding. This operation method is time-consuming, inefficient, has welding errors due to manual hand-held welding, cannot guarantee welding quality, and has high labor intensity.

When in use, a steel pad 7 is placed on the bottom plate 6, the primary adjustment group 1 is used to adjust the position of the steel pad and clamp the steel pad, and then the I-beam is placed on the steel pad, the secondary adjustment group 2 is used to adjust the position of the I-beam so that the left and right directions of the I-beam are aligned with the steel pad, and the tertiary adjustment group 3 pushes the I-beam forward so that the front and rear directions of the I-beam are aligned with the steel pad, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 shown.

[0041] The first-stage adjustment group 1, the second-stage adjustment group 2 and the third-stage adjustment group 3 are all manual mechanical adjustment structures, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 Open the state diagram for this device, as follows:

[0042] The first-level adjustment group 1 includes a first-level knob 11 and two first clamp rods 12 symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the bottom plate 6.

A first-level mechanical linkage structure is arranged between the first-level knob 11 and the two first clamp rods 12 to achieve the synchronous movement of the two first clamp rods 12 toward or away from each other. When the two first clamp rods 12 move toward each other synchronously, they can drive the steel plate to move until the steel plate and the bottom plate 6 are aligned. The two first-level mechanical linkage structures are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the primary mechanical linkage structure includes two first racks 19 horizontally and slidingly arranged in the housing 4 one up and one down, the teeth of the two first racks 19 are opposite, and the two first racks 19 are respectively connected to a first clamp rod 12 through a first bent rod 111, and the housing 4 is provided with a first transmission shaft 17 between the two first racks 19, and the first transmission shaft 17 is provided with a first gear 18 and a first worm gear 16, and the first gear 18 meshes with the two first racks 19, and the first worm gear 16 is vertically meshed with a first worm 15, and the upper end of the first worm 15 is connected to the primary knob 11 through the first transmission rod 14. Manually turning the primary knob 11 realizes the synchronous approach movement of the two first clamp rods 12 through the primary mechanical linkage structure.

A secondary mechanical linkage structure is arranged between the secondary knob 21 and the two second clamp rods 22 to achieve the synchronous movement of the two second clamp rods 22 toward or away from each other. When the two second clamp rods 22 move toward each other synchronously, they can drive the I-beam to move until the left and right directions of the I-beam are aligned with the base plate 6, thereby achieving the alignment of the left and right directions of the I-beam with the steel pad. A slide groove 211 is arranged opposite the two second clamp rods 22. The slide groove 211 is a rectangular groove arranged along the length direction of the second clamp rod 22.

The distance from the center adjustment plate 32 to the bottom plate 6 is greater than the thickness of the steel pad. Two wing plates 321 are symmetrically provided at the left and right ends of the centering adjustment plate 32. The two wing plates 321 are flush with the side of the cover shell away from the rear side of the centering adjustment plate (the side away from the cover shell). The two wing plates 321 are slidably installed in the two slide grooves 211. A three-stage mechanical linkage structure is arranged between the three-stage knob 32 and the centering adjustment plate 32 to realize the front and rear movement of the centering adjustment plate 32. When the centering adjustment plate 32 moves backward (away from the cover shell), it can push the I-beam to move backward, so that the front and rear directions of the I-beam are aligned with the steel pad.

Manually rotating the three-stage knob 31 drives the centering adjustment plate 32 to move forward and backward.

[0045] In the present invention, a first slide plate 42 and a second slide plate 43 are arranged in the housing 4, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first slide plate 42 is located above the second slide plate, and two slide grooves are respectively provided on the bottom surface of the first slide plate 42 and the top surface of the second slide plate 43 in the left and right directions. During assembly, the upper first rack 19 and the second rack 29 in the housing are slidably installed in the two slide grooves of the first slide groove 42, and the lower first rack 19 and the second rack 29 are slidably installed in the two slide grooves of the second slide groove 43.

[0047] The operation method of the present invention:

[0048] Step 1: Adjust the limit device to the open state, and rotate the first-level knob 11, the second-level knob 21, and the third-level knob 31 in opposite directions respectively, so that the two first clamp rods 12 of the first-level adjustment group are extended to the maximum range, the two second clamp rods 22 of the second-level adjustment group are extended to the maximum range, and the centering adjustment plate 32 of the third-level adjustment group 3 is retracted to be close to the cover 4;

Rotate the first knob 11 of the first adjustment group in the positive direction, and the two first clamp rods 12 will shrink at the same time to realize the centering clamping limit of the steel plate in the left and right directions.

[0050] Step 3: Place the I-beam 8 on the steel pad 7. At this time, the welding surface of the steel pad is close to the welding section of the I-beam, and the two flanges of the I-beam 8 are close to the centering adjustment plate 32. The secondary knob 21 of the secondary adjustment group is rotated forward, and the two second clamp rods 22 are contracted at the same time to realize the left and right direction of the I-beam and the steel pad.

[0051] Step 4, rotate the three-stage knob 31 of the three-stage adjustment group 3 forward, move the centering adjustment plate 32 backward, and push the I-beam 8 until it is aligned with the steel pad in the front-to-back direction; finally, the centering adjustment of the I-beam and the steel pad is achieved.
