[0025] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments: like Figures 1 to 10 The inner positioning tool for thin-piece circumferential seam welding shown includes a base 1, an automatic tightening mechanism, a manual tightening mechanism and an inner supporting tool; The automatic tightening mechanism is composed of a first sleeve 2, a telescopic cylinder 21, a first connecting rod 22, a first connecting seat 23, a lock nut 24, a first transmission sleeve 26, a first transmission rod 202 and a first transmission block 212. The cylinder body of the telescopic cylinder 21 and the first sleeve 2 are fixedly mounted on the base 1. The first sleeve 2 is provided with first oblong holes 201 along its axial direction at both ends. The first transmission block 212 is fixedly mounted on the piston rod 211 of the telescopic cylinder 21 by locking the lock nut 24. The inner ends of the two first transmission rods 202 are fixedly mounted on the first transmission block 212. The first transmission The rod 202 is also slidably guided and installed in the first oblong hole 201, the first transmission sleeve 26 is slidably sleeved and installed on the first sleeve 2, the outer ends of the two first transmission rods 202 are fixedly connected to the first transmission sleeve 26, and a plurality of first connecting seats 23 are annularly distributed and fixedly installed on the first transmission sleeve 26, and the rear end of the first connecting rod 22 is hingedly installed on the first connecting seat 23; when the piston rod 211 of the telescopic cylinder 21 is extended or retracted, the first transmission block 212, the lock nut 24, the first transmission rod 202, the first transmission sleeve 26, and the first connecting seat 23 are driven to move left and right along the first oblong hole 201; The manual tightening mechanism is composed of a second sleeve 3, an end 31, a second connecting rod 32, a second connecting seat 33, a screw rod 34, a second transmission sleeve 36, a second transmission rod 302 and a second transmission block 311. The end 31 is fixedly mounted on the outer end of the second sleeve 3, the outer end non-threaded cylindrical section of the screw rod 34 is rotatably mounted on the end 31, and the second sleeve 3 is provided with a second oblong hole 301 along its axial direction at the upper and lower ends. The second transmission block 311 is threadedly connected and mounted on the inner end of the screw rod 34. The inner ends of the two second transmission rods 302 are fixedly mounted on the second transmission block 311. The two second transmission rods 302 are also slidably guided and arranged. Installed in the second oblong hole 301, the second transmission sleeve 36 is slidably sleeved and installed on the second sleeve 3, the outer ends of the two second transmission rods 302 are also fixedly connected to the second transmission sleeve 36, and a plurality of second connecting seats 33 are annularly distributed and fixedly installed on the second transmission sleeve 36. The rear end of the second connecting rod 32 is hingedly installed on the second connecting seat 33; the screw rod 34 can only rotate in the end head 31, and the screw rod 34 cannot move along its axial direction in the end head 31. When the screw rod 34 is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise, the combination of the second transmission block 311 of the screw rod 34, the second transmission rod 302, the second transmission sleeve 36 and the second connecting seat 33 moves left and right; The inner support tooling is composed of a disc 4, a first support block seat 5 and a second support block seat 6. The disc 4 is provided with a plurality of third oblong holes 41 in its radial direction with its axis as the center. The first support block seat 5 and the second support block seat 6 are respectively screwed with a first clamping block 51 and a second clamping block 61 by screwing. The smooth cylindrical section of the screw is slidably guided and installed in the third oblong hole 41. The first support block seat 5 cooperates with the first clamping block 51 to slide and clamp the disc 4. The second support block seat 6 cooperates with the second clamping block 61 to slide and clamp the disc 4. The first support block seat 5 and the second support block seat 6 are staggeredly arranged on both sides of the disc 4. The first support block 52 and the second support block 62 are respectively fixedly installed on the outer support surfaces of the first support block seat 5 and the second support block seat 6. When the inner support tooling is in the open state, all the first support blocks 52 and the second support blocks 62 form a closed annular structure. The first sleeve 2, the disc 4 and the second sleeve 3 are coaxially fixedly connected, the front ends of the first connection seats 23 are hingedly mounted on the first support block seats 5, and the front ends of the second connection seats 33 are hingedly mounted on the second support block seats 6. The number of the first support block seats 5 and the number of the second support block seats 6 are respectively set to four. When the first connecting seat 23 moves close to the disk 4, it pushes the combination of the first support block seat 5, the first clamping block 51, the screw and the first support block 52 to move toward the outer edge of the disk 4, and the first support block 52 holds the thin-walled cylinder 101 tightly in place. Conversely, when the first connecting seat 32 moves away from the disk 4, the first support block 52 moves toward the center of the disk 4 to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the thin-walled cylinder 101; when the second connecting seat 33 moves close to the disk 4, it pushes the combination of the second support block seat 6, the second clamping block 61, the screw and the second support block 62 to move toward the outer edge of the disk 4, and the second support block 62 holds the thin-walled tube end 102 tightly in place. Conversely, when the second connecting seat 33 moves away from the disk 4, the second support block 62 moves toward the center of the disk 4 to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the thin-walled tube end 102.

[0026] When the inner support fixture is in the open state, the first support block 52 and the second support block 62 cooperate to form an arc-shaped annular groove 7. During welding, the material of the thin-walled cylinder 101 and the thin-walled cylinder end 102 melts and flows into the groove 7 to cool and form, thereby avoiding the problem of welding through of the thin-walled cylinder 101 and the thin-walled cylinder end 102.

[0027] When the inner support tooling is in the open state, the first support block 52 and the second support block 62 cooperate to form a plurality of shielding gas outlet holes 8 distributed in a circular array, and the shielding gas outlet holes 8 are located at the center position of the arc-shaped annular groove 7. An air duct connected to the shielding gas outlet holes 8 is arranged inside the first support block seat 5, and a shielding gas inlet connector 63 connected to the air duct is arranged on the first support block seat 5. The shielding gas inlet connector 63 is connected to the shielding gas pump through a pipeline. The shielding gas outlet holes 8 blow the shielding gas to the welds of the thin-walled cylinder 101 and the thin-walled cylinder end 102. Compared with the traditional overall cylinder ventilation protection solution, it has the advantage of not wasting gas and has a better protection effect, so that the welding quality can be guaranteed.

[0028] A support seat 11 is screwed and fixedly installed on the base 1, and the first sleeve 2 and the telescopic cylinder 21 are fixedly installed on the support column 11, so that the combination of the support seat 11, the first sleeve 2 and the telescopic cylinder 21 can be disassembled for inspection and maintenance.

[0029] The first sleeve 2 is threadedly installed with a first limit stop ring 25 for limiting the movement of the first connecting seat 23 toward the disc 4, and the second sleeve 3 is threadedly installed with a first limit stop ring 35 for limiting the movement of the second connecting seat 33 toward the disc 4. The limiting and blocking effect of the first limit stop ring 25 and the first limit stop ring 35 can prevent the first connecting seat 23 and the second connecting seat 33 from causing excessive travel when the first support block 52 and the second support block 62 are supported outward, thereby causing deformation and damage to the thin-walled cylinder 101 and the thin-walled cylinder end 102.

[0030] The first support block 52 and the second support block 62 are both made of copper. The first support block 52 and the second support block 62 are respectively attached to the inner walls of the thin-walled cylinder 101 and the thin-walled cylinder end 102 to achieve the effect of rapid heat dissipation and cooling when the thin-walled cylinder 101 and the thin-walled cylinder end 102 are welded.

[0031] The automatic tightening mechanism and the manual tightening mechanism respectively drive the first support block 52 and the second support block 62 of the inner support tooling to retract, and the thin-walled cylinder 101 is sleeved on the first support block 52. The automatic tightening mechanism is started to drive the first support block 52 to move outward to tighten and position the thin-walled cylinder 101, and the thin-walled cylinder end 102 is sleeved on the second support block 62, and the thin-walled cylinder end 102 is against the thin-walled cylinder 101. The manual tightening mechanism drives the second support block 62 to move outward to tighten and position the thin-walled cylinder end 102, and the protective gas is discharged. The air hole 8 blows the protective gas to the joint of the thin-walled cylinder 101 and the thin-walled cylinder end 102, and the welding equipment performs welding operation on the joint of the thin-walled cylinder 101 and the thin-walled cylinder end 102. After the welding operation is completed, the automatic tightening mechanism and the manual tightening mechanism respectively drive the first support block 52 and the second support block 62 of the internal support tooling to retract, thereby releasing the supporting effect on the thin-walled cylinder 101 and the thin-walled cylinder end 102, and the welder removes the thin-walled cylinder group formed by welding the thin-walled cylinder 101 and the thin-walled cylinder end 102.
