The guide rail provides an accurate sliding track and positioning reference for the positioning bracket and the flange positioning device, enabling them to be accurately installed and adjusted on the tooling;

[0039] The elbow positioning frame includes a first elbow positioning frame 4 and a second elbow positioning frame 5. The first elbow positioning frame 4 is arranged at one end of the straight pipe positioning frame 6, and the second elbow positioning frame 5 is arranged at the other end of the straight pipe positioning frame 6. Both the first elbow positioning frame 4 and the second elbow positioning frame 5 are composed of support plates 16 with different heights, and the straight pipe positioning frame 6 is composed of support plates 16 with the same height. An arc-shaped opening is arranged at the upper end of the support plate 16, and a fixing plate 15 is arranged at the lower end.

The elbow positioning frame and the straight pipe positioning frame 6 can be closely attached to the pipeline through the arc-shaped openings of the support plates 16 to position the pipeline from multiple directions. The flange positioning device limits the flange circumferentially and axially through the circular ring and the fixing frame to ensure the accurate connection position between the flange and the pipeline. The synergistic effect of these structures enables the gas pipeline to be accurately positioned on the tooling before welding, effectively reducing the installation error of the pipeline, improving the accuracy and consistency of the welded joints, and thus ensuring the installation quality and service performance of the gas pipeline.

[0040] As a further implementation method, it further includes: upper and lower pressing limits, which are arranged on one side of the tooling workbench 1. The upper and lower pressing limits are composed of a vertical strut 10, a horizontal strut 7, and a pressing rod 11.

One end of the horizontal strut 7 is fixedly arranged at the top of the vertical strut 10, and the other end of the horizontal strut 7 is threadedly connected to the pressing rod 11, enabling the pressing rod 11 to move vertically to press the pipeline and prevent the pipeline from moving or rotating during the welding process. The upper and lower pressing limits cooperate with the base pressing limit 8 to firmly fix the positioning frame and the flange positioning device on the tooling workbench 1, preventing them from shifting during the welding process, and further ensuring the welding accuracy of the pipeline.

[0041] As a further implementation method, the guide rail includes a first guide rail 9, a second guide rail, and a third guide rail; the second guide rail is arranged at one end of the first guide rail 9, and the third guide rail is arranged at the other end of the first guide rail 9; the straight pipe positioning frame 6 is slidably arranged on the first guide rail 9, the first elbow positioning frame 4 is slidably arranged on the second guide rail, and the second elbow positioning frame 5 is slidably arranged on the first guide rail 9; the flange positioning device includes a first flange positioning device 2 and a second flange positioning device 3.

The upper end of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the first fixing frame. The first ring is arranged on the first fixing frame. There is an included angle with a set angle between the first fixing frame and the mounting plate; this included angle is designed according to the connection angle and installation requirements of the flange and the pipeline, so that the first ring can accurately position the flange. The inner diameter of the first ring is adapted to the outer diameter of the flange and can be sleeved on the flange to perform circumferential limit on the flange; at the same time, positioning holes are also arranged on the first fixing frame, corresponding to the bolt holes on the flange, and the three-hole positioning of the flange is realized through bolt and nut connection to ensure the accurate position of the flange during the welding process;

[0043] The second flange positioning device 3 is composed of a second ring and a second fixing frame.

An arc-shaped opening is arranged at the upper end of the support plate 16, and the radian of the arc-shaped opening matches the outer surface radian of the elbow, which can better fit the elbow and improve the positioning accuracy.

The two said auxiliary plates 17 and the support plates 16 form a grid-like structure; this structure further enhances the support and limiting ability of the positioning frame for the elbow, especially suitable for positioning elbows with complex angles and shapes. The bottom of the auxiliary plate 17 is fixedly arranged on the fixing plate 15, and an arc-shaped opening is also arranged at the top end, which acts together with the arc-shaped opening of the support plate 16 to position and fix the elbow from multiple directions, effectively improving the reliability of elbow positioning.
