The support frame 11 is also fixedly provided with a motor, and the output shaft of the motor is fixedly provided with the gear two 23. The gear two 23 is driven to rotate by the rotation of the output shaft of the motor.

[0043] Further, referring to Figure 5 Since the support frame 11 is provided with two groups, the support frame 11 moves to the right in the tunnel, that is, the side support frame 11 advancing along the length direction of the tunnel is the front side, and the other support frame 11 is the rear side. The pipeline workpiece 6 is a workpiece that needs to be laid in the tunnel. After multiple pipeline workpieces 6 are moved into the tunnel, the pipeline workpieces 6 are assembled together, and then the contact parts of different pipeline workpieces 6 are welded to form a complete pipeline. The fixed frame is installed in the tunnel, and the pipeline workpiece 6 is installed on the fixed frame.

[0044] The implementation scene is specifically: after the pipeline workpiece 6 is laid in the tunnel, the walking mechanism 1 is moved into the tunnel, the rotation of the motor output shaft drives the threaded rod 13 to rotate, the rotation of the threaded rod 13 drives the moving seat 14 to move, the movement of the moving seat 14 drives the rotating rod 12 to rotate, the rotation of the rotating rod 12 adjusts the distance between the rollers 15 and the support frame 11, that is, the rollers 15 are expanded outside the support frame 11, at this time, under the contact limiting action between the multiple rollers 15 and the inner wall of the tunnel, the support frame 11 is stably installed in the tunnel, and the pipeline workpiece 6 is located at the middle of the support frame 11; when the support frame 11 is located in the linear tunnel, the rotating driver one is started, the rotation of the output shaft of the rotating driver one drives the rollers 15 to rotate, the rollers 15 rollingly contact the inner wall of the tunnel to achieve the effect that the support frame 11 moves along the inner wall of the tunnel in the linear tunnel; after the welding gun 4 moves to the specified position, the contact part between the two pipeline workpieces 6 is located below the output end of the welding gun 4, and the welding gun 4 moves along the pipeline workpiece 6 to complete the welding between the two adjacent pipeline workpieces 6 after one round. Figure 5 When the pipeline workpiece 6 located in the curved tunnel needs to be welded, the support frame 11 needs to be moved to the curved part in the tunnel, first, the motor on the front support frame 11 is started to drive the threaded rod 13 to rotate, that is, the rollers 15 on the front support frame 11 are driven to shrink, and the positioning between the front support frame 11 and the inner wall of the tunnel is released, at this time, the rotating seat 21 is used to support the front support frame 11, then the motor is started to drive the gear two 23 to rotate, the gear two 23 meshes with the gear one 22 to drive the rotating seat 21 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle between the rotating seat 21 and the support frame 11 located at the rear side, the support frame 11 located at the front side is fixedly arranged on the rotating seat 21, and the rotating seat 21 is driven to rotate when the rotating seat 21 rotates, thereby driving the support frame 11 located at the front side to rotate, the multiple rollers 15 on the rotating rod one 12 can prevent the support frame 11 from tilting in the tunnel, the support frame 11 located at the rear side continuously moves, so that the support frame 11 located at the front side moves into the curved tunnel, after the support frame 11 located at the front side is completely located in the curved tunnel, the threaded rod 13 is driven to rotate, so that the rollers 15 on the front support frame 11 are expanded to contact the inner wall of the curved tunnel, the hydraulic cylinder on the front support frame 11 is started to make the positioning seat contact the inner wall of the curved tunnel, so that the support frame 11 located at the front side is fixed in the tunnel, the welding gun 4 is used to rotate one round around the pipeline workpiece 6 to weld the pipeline workpiece 6 in the curved tunnel, so that the distance between the welding gun 4 and the pipeline workpiece 6 is always the same, and the welding quality is ensured, and after the welding is completed, the rollers 15 on the support frame 11 located at the rear side are shrunk to release the positioning between the rollers 15 and the inner wall of the linear tunnel, so that the support frame 11 located at the front side continuously moves along the inner wall of the curved tunnel, then the angle of the support frame 11 located at the rear side is adjusted through the meshing of the gear one 22 and the gear two 23, and in this way, the two walking mechanisms 1 can automatically pass through the curved tunnel.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, the design of the segmented walking mechanism 1 can enable the walking mechanism 1 to automatically pass through the curved tunnel, reduce the workload of the workers, and enable the welding gun 4 to automatically weld the pipeline in the curved tunnel. The distance between the output end of the welding gun and the pipeline can be ensured to be always the same during welding, the welding position and angle of the pipeline do not change, the consistency of the welding quality is improved, and the overall strength and sealing performance of the pipeline are improved.

[0046] With reference to the drawings accompanying the specification Figures 2 to 6 In order to be able to drive the welding gun 4 to stably rotate along the outer side of the pipeline workpiece 6, thereby improving the stability of welding, specifically, the rotating mechanism 3 further comprises a plurality of transmission wheels 32, a fixed seat 31 is fixedly arranged on the support frame 11, the transmission wheels 32 are rotationally arranged on the fixed seat 31, the same transmission belt 33 is drivingly connected to the plurality of transmission wheels 32, a plurality of guide wheels are further rotationally arranged on the fixed seat 31, a C-shaped ring 34 is rollingly arranged with the guide wheels, and the transmission belt 33 is drivingly connected with the C-shaped ring 34. A linear actuator I 35 is fixedly arranged on the C-shaped ring 34, the welding gun 4 is arranged on the output end of the linear actuator I 35, and the movement of the output end of the linear actuator I 35 is used to adjust the distance between the output end of the welding gun 4 and the pipeline workpiece 6. The outer surface of the transmission belt 33 is provided with anti-skid protrusions, which are used to contact the outer side of the C-shaped ring 34 to increase the friction between the transmission belt 33 and the C-shaped ring 34.

[0047] It should be noted that a motor is fixedly arranged on the fixed seat 31, and the output shaft of the motor is fixedly arranged with the fixed seat 31. The plurality of transmission wheels 32 and the guide wheels are circumferentially distributed, and the C-shaped ring 34 is located between the plurality of transmission wheels 32 and the guide wheels. The linear actuator I 35 is arranged as a linear motor, and the linear motor is fixedly arranged on the C-shaped ring 34.

[0048] It should be further noted that the welding gun 4 is arranged on the linear actuator I 35, and the output end of the welding gun 4 is always arranged towards the center of the pipeline workpiece 6.

[0049] In this embodiment, the motor is started, the rotation of the output shaft of the motor drives the transmission wheel 32 to rotate, the transmission wheel 32 drives the transmission belt 33, the transmission belt 33 can drive the plurality of transmission wheels 32 to synchronously rotate, and the transmission belt 33 is in contact with the outer side of the C-shaped ring 34 during the transmission process to drive the C-shaped ring 34 to rotate.

[0050] With reference to the drawings accompanying the specification Figure 7 With Figure 8, in long pipeline engineering, the pipeline in the tunnel is used to transport fluid materials such as oil and natural gas, in order to reduce the resistance of liquid flow and gas flow, the pipeline workpiece 6 needs to have a certain ellipticity, that is, the pipeline workpiece 6 is set as an elliptical pipeline, when the fluid flow direction is consistent with the long axis direction of the elliptical pipeline workpiece 6, the long axis direction of the elliptical pipeline workpiece 6 provides a larger cross-sectional area, thereby reducing the flow rate of the fluid, reducing the friction between the fluid and the pipeline wall of the elliptical pipeline workpiece 6, thereby reducing the resistance along the way, at the same time, the short axis direction of the elliptical pipeline workpiece 6 is in the form of a circular arc, which can more naturally adapt to the curved path when the pipeline workpiece 6 is bent, reducing the centrifugal force and impact force on the fluid at the bending part, thereby reducing the local resistance, however, when welding the elliptical pipeline workpiece 6, due to the long axis and short axis of the elliptical shape, the output end of the welding gun 4 makes a circular motion around the welding gun 4, which causes the distance between the welding gun 4 and the surface of the elliptical pipeline workpiece 6 to be different, resulting in uneven welding heat input, when the distance is short, local overheating is easy to produce weld edge biting, burning and stress concentration, reducing the weld strength and causing cracks; when the distance is far, the heat is insufficient to cause poor fusion of the weld, poor forming, and inclusion of un-melted defects, affecting the welding quality and performance, in order to avoid the above situation, specifically, the output end of the linear actuator one 35 is provided with a spacing adjusting mechanism 5, the spacing adjusting mechanism 5 includes a limiting seat 51, the limiting seat 51 is fixedly arranged on the output end of the linear actuator one 35, a adjusting seat 52 is slidably arranged in the limiting seat 51, a fixed rod 53 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the adjusting seat 52, the bottom end of the fixed rod 53 is used to contact the surface of the pipeline workpiece 6, the welding gun 4 is fixedly arranged on the adjusting seat 52, and a elastic member 54 is fixedly arranged between the limiting seat 51 and the adjusting seat 52.

A connecting seat is also fixedly arranged in the limiting seat 51, the connecting seat is located below the adjusting seat 52, and the connecting seat is used to support the adjusting seat 52 at the bottom of the adjusting seat 52.

[0052] It is also needed to be explained that the linear driver one 35 is started, the moving driving limit seat 51 of the output end of the linear driver one 35 is moved, the bottom end of the fixed rod 53 is contacted with the elliptical pipe workpiece 6, the elastic member 54 is compressed, the C-shaped ring 34 is driven to make the circumferential motion along the elliptical pipe workpiece 6, the fixed rod 53 is always contacted with the surface of the elliptical pipe workpiece 6, when the contact position between the fixed rod 53 and the elliptical pipe workpiece 6 is changed from the minor axis to the major axis, the outer surface of the elliptical pipe workpiece 6 will extrude the fixed rod 53 to make the adjusting seat 52 slide in the limit seat 51, the movement of the adjusting seat 52 changes the distance of the output end of the welding gun 4, so that the distance between the output end of the welding gun 4 and the surface of the elliptical pipe workpiece 6 is adjusted, when the welding gun 4 makes the circumferential motion around the pipe workpiece 6, the distance between the output end of the welding gun 4 and the elliptical pipe workpiece 6 is always the same, when the contact position between the fixed rod 53 and the elliptical pipe workpiece 6 is changed from the major axis to the minor axis, the adjusting seat 52 is driven to move under the action of the elasticity of the elastic member 54, and then the distance between the output end of the welding gun 4 and the elliptical pipe workpiece 6 is always the same.
