It is necessary to position the paneling seam at the node 2 of the tire frame 5, and fix it with a triangle plate 4 at the paneling seam position to prevent dimensional deviation caused by welding shrinkage. Install the door frame tooling 9 in the middle position of the flange part, and use it in conjunction with the wedge iron 7 and the square steel bar 6. It is required that a 10±0.01mm steel plate is placed between the wedge iron 7 and the sea-binding flange 3 to prevent the wedge iron 7 from damaging the surface of the sea-binding flange 3. A steel pad must be used between the wedge iron 7 and the flange. It is strictly forbidden to damage the flange due to the wedge iron 7.
