[0093] The nuclear power plant pipeline welding and grinding equipment has the following technical advantages:

[0094] 1. The nuclear power plant pipeline welding and grinding equipment is equipped with both a welding device 40 and a grinding device 60.

Compared with manual operation, it improves efficiency, greatly reduces the welding and grinding time for each weld layer, and the welding and grinding quality is better and more stable. This will generate huge economic value for application scenarios with strict time and quality requirements, such as power plant maintenance.

[0095] 2、The nuclear power plant pipeline welding and polishing device is arranged by closely installing each mechanism to the circular rail 10 and adjusting the height direction of the welding gun 41 to the adjustment of the position adjusting device in the tangential direction of the weld, which ingeniously reduces the height of the nuclear power plant pipeline welding and polishing device in the radial direction of the pipeline, is beneficial to the nuclear power plant pipeline welding and polishing device to enter narrow space (such as the distance between the adjacent pipeline 200 or the wall and the nuclear power plant pipeline 100 to be welded is very close) for operation, and can weld the area that is not accessible by artificial, and has very high application value.
