Before use, the flange plate is placed on the top of the fixing ring, and the exhaust pipe is placed on the top of the flange plate. Since the space between the outer shell, the piston plate and the fixing ring is a closed space, the electric telescopic rod After the power is turned on, the electric telescopic rod contracts, driving the piston plate to slide downward along the inner wall of the shell, so that the above enclosed space is transformed into low pressure, and the pressure generated by the low pressure will force multiple piston square plates to slide outward along the corresponding inner walls of the piston grooves. The piston square plate drives the arc rods to move outward synchronously through the fixed block 1, the telescopic spring rod, and the fixed block 2, so that the arc surface of each arc rod contacts the inner wall of the flange. At the same time, the multiple arc rods will contact the inner wall of the exhaust pipe.

Before use, the flange is placed on the top of the fixing ring, and the exhaust pipe is placed on the top of the flange. Since the space between the outer shell, the piston plate and the fixing ring is a closed space, after the electric telescopic rod is powered on, the electric telescopic rod contracts, driving the piston plate to slide downward along the inner wall of the outer shell, so that the above closed space is converted into a low pressure. The pressure generated by the low pressure will force multiple piston square plates to slide outward along the corresponding inner walls of the piston grooves. The piston square plates drive the arc rods to move outward synchronously through the fixing block 1, the telescopic spring rod and the fixing block 2, so that the arc surface of each arc rod contacts the inner wall of the flange. At the same time, the multiple arc rods will contact the inner wall of the exhaust pipe.

The hydraulic telescopic rod 2 also carries the contact plate to contact the outer wall of the flange. Among them, the liquid inside the multiple hydraulic telescopic rods 1 first collectively enters the interior of the collecting ring tube, and then disperses to the multiple hydraulic telescopic rods 2, so that when some of the hydraulic telescopic rods 2 first contact the outer wall of the flange during the extension process, the remaining hydraulic telescopic rods 2 can continue to extend, so that the multiple hydraulic telescopic rods 2 can push the contact plate to completely fit the outer wall of the flange, avoiding the irregular outer wall of the flange, resulting in uneven pressure on the outer wall of the flange, and affecting the positioning accuracy of the equipment.
[0020] (3) The present invention utilizes the characteristic that the above-mentioned multiple fixing blocks are close to each other, and a support assembly is arranged inside the equipment, wherein when the fixing blocks are close to each other, the fixing blocks drive the compression spring rod and the L-shaped fixing block to approach the center of the fixing ring through the L-shaped rod, and the L-shaped fixing block drives the corresponding sliding track to contact the outer wall of the exhaust pipe, forming a clamping process for the outer wall of the exhaust pipe, thereby preventing the irregular shape of the exhaust pipe from causing the center of gravity of the exhaust pipe to shift, and the exhaust pipe to tilt during welding, resulting in the welding position between the exhaust pipe and the flange to shift.
[0021] (4) The present invention utilizes the characteristic that the distance between multiple sliding rails is reduced when the above-mentioned equipment is running. A motor is arranged inside the equipment. After the sliding rails complete clamping, the distance between the multiple sliding rails is reduced. During this process, the sliding rails will slide along the inner wall of the sliding rails, so that the multiple sliding rails and the sliding rails form a retractable circular rail. Subsequently, the motor power is turned on, and the motor drives the motor to slide along the inner wall of the circular track through the rubber wheel. At this time, the welding gun fixed at the bottom of the motor will weld the gap between the flange and the exhaust pipe.
