[0032] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0034] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 The auxiliary cylinder 1 is provided with a mounting opening 7, and the electromagnet 4 is fixedly arranged in the mounting opening 7. The auxiliary cylinder 1 is evenly divided into eight fixing areas 8, and each fixing area 8 is provided with three mounting openings 7. The electromagnets 4 in the three mounting openings 7 are in the same group and share a switch 5. A clearance gap 9 is left between two adjacent fixing areas 8, and a reinforcing plate 10 is fixedly connected between two adjacent fixing areas 8. The reinforcing plate 10 is located in the clearance gap 9, and the reinforcing plate 10 is used to strengthen the connection strength between the two fixing areas 8 and reduce the shaking of the fixing areas 8.
[0035] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 , before the plate is placed on the auxiliary cylinder 1, the switch 5 corresponding to the fixing area 8 is turned on to allow the electromagnet 4 to work, and then the plate is placed on the corresponding area to fix the plate on the auxiliary cylinder 1, and then the remaining plates are placed on the fixing areas 8 respectively, and then the two adjacent plates are welded until all the plates are welded; after the welding is completed, the bell mouth 12 surrounded by multiple plates is sleeved outside the auxiliary cylinder 1, and then the plate is taken out from the bell mouth 12. There is no need for multiple people to cooperate in welding. The process is quick and simple to stably weld the plates, thereby achieving the effect of conveniently welding the bell mouth 12 plates.
[0036] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 A clearance seam 9 is provided to facilitate the discharge of excess welding slag during welding and reduce the accumulation of excess welding slag on the auxiliary tube 1. At the same time, a clearance seam 9 is provided, and the staff can also weld the plate on the inner side, which further facilitates the staff's operation and enhances the strength of the bell mouth 12; the auxiliary tube 1 made of titanium alloy material can reduce the damage to the auxiliary tube 1 caused by the high temperature during welding and increase the service life of the auxiliary tube 1.
[0037] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 A marking line 11 is provided on the fixing area 8 to mark the boundary of the fixing area 8. When placing the plate, align the plate with the marking line 11, so as to facilitate the alignment of the first plate; after the first plate is fixed on the auxiliary cylinder 1, after the next plate is placed on the auxiliary cylinder 1, push the plate toward the fixed plate so that the side walls of the two plates contact each other, and then turn on the switch 5 of the fixing area 8 to fix the plate placed later.

[0040] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: when welding, a divided plate is first placed on the corresponding fixing area 8, the first plate is fixed on the auxiliary tube 1, and then another plate is placed in the adjacent fixing area 8, so that the side walls of the two plates are in contact with each other; after the welding is completed, the bell mouth 12 surrounded by multiple plates is sleeved outside the auxiliary tube 1, and then the plate is taken out of the bell mouth 12, without the need for multiple people to cooperate in welding, the process is fast and simple, and the plates can be stably welded, achieving the effect of conveniently welding the bell mouth 12 plates;
[0041] By gradually merging and welding the divided plates, the interference of the plates on the auxiliary cylinder 1 is greatly reduced, and the number of times the plates are pressed by the adjustment position of the auxiliary cylinder 1 during the welding process is also reduced.
