[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the operation window system 4 includes a dual operation port assembly 15 and a transparent observation window 16 with dual operation ports. The dual operation port assembly 15 is located inside the main frame 1. The dual operation port assembly 15 includes two sealing gloves, and the root ends of the two sealing gloves are respectively sealed to the dual operation ports of the transparent observation window 16; the transparent observation window 16 is connected to the main frame through a sealing interface to ensure that the internal air pressure is maintained stable during operation and prevent water from entering the interior of the device.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the adsorption mechanism 5 includes four high-power suction cup motor assemblies and two low-power suction cup motor assemblies. The high-power suction cup motor assembly and the low-power suction cup motor assembly have the same structure, both including a suction cup body 17, a centrifugal impeller 18, a waterproof motor 19 and a suction cup cover 20. Two large adsorption through holes are opened on both sides of each adsorption plate 6 and a small adsorption through hole is opened in the middle. A high-power suction cup motor assembly and a low-power suction cup motor assembly are installed in each large adsorption through hole and small adsorption through hole respectively; the bottom of the suction cup body 17 is coaxially installed in the adsorption through hole, the suction cup cover 20 is sealed on the top of the suction cup body 17, the body of the waterproof motor 19 is installed inside the suction cup body 17 and the suction cup cover 20, the inner bottom of the suction cup body 17 serves as a centrifugal chamber, the body of the centrifugal impeller 18 is installed in the centrifugal chamber and is located directly below the waterproof motor 19, and the output shaft of the waterproof motor 19 is synchronously connected to the center of the centrifugal impeller 18; the adsorption plate 6 is adsorbed on the working wall surface through the flow field generated by the rotation of each centrifugal impeller 18.

[0041] The waterproof motor 19 drives the centrifugal impeller 18 via its output shaft. The impeller 18 adjusts the suction force by adjusting its speed, creating a flow field in the water. This flow field facilitates suction to the desired surface. The large suction cup motor has three times the power of the small suction cup motor, creating a graded suction pattern with primary and auxiliary suction zones. The bottom surface of the suction plate 6 also features a micro-raised texture to enhance friction with the working surface, ensuring stability and strength during the suction process.

[0042] The specific implementation process of the underwater adjustable angle normal pressure drainage welding device based on the foldable cavity proposed by the present invention is as follows:

[0043] Before the equipment is launched into the water, the welding tools and welding rods have been pre-loaded into the low-pressure chamber 9. After the equipment is launched into the water, it is first necessary to fix the device on the working wall of the area to be welded. The fixing operation process includes firstly attaching the bottom surfaces of the two adsorption plates 6 of the foldable cavity system 2 to the working wall respectively. The adjustment angle of the adsorption plate 6 can be adjusted by the hinged cavity frame 14, ranging from 0° to 90°, to ensure that the adsorption plate 6 can adapt to working walls of different shapes. After the fixation is completed, the waterproof motor 19 of the high-power suction cup motor assembly and the low-power suction cup motor assembly in the adsorption mechanism 5 is started. The centrifugal impeller 18 is integrated inside the suction cup motor assembly. By adjusting the speed of the waterproof motor 19, the adsorption force between the centrifugal impeller 18 and the working wall is changed, thereby realizing the strong adsorption of the adsorption plate 6 on the working wall, ensuring that the device can be firmly attached to the underwater working position. The surface of the adsorption plate 6 is provided with a micro-raised texture to further enhance the friction between the wall and improve the stability and strength of the adsorption process.

[0044] After the device is secured, the drainage preparation phase begins. The air pressure controller 12 of the air pressure control system 3 begins to synchronously regulate the pressures of the low-pressure chamber 9 and the high-pressure chamber 10. Specifically, the inner low-pressure chamber 9 is connected to an external air pump via a low-pressure vent 11, and the outer high-pressure chamber 10 is connected to a high-pressure air source via a high-pressure vent 13. The air pressure controller 12 is responsible for independently regulating the air pressures of the low-pressure chamber 9 and the high-pressure chamber 10, ensuring a reasonable control of the pressure difference between the low-pressure chamber 9 and the high-pressure chamber 10.

[0045] During the drainage phase, the air pressure controller 12 first synchronizes the air pressure in the low-pressure chamber 9 and the high-pressure chamber 10 to a level close to the water pressure in the working wall area, effectively removing water from the work area and ensuring a dry working environment. After completing the initial drainage, the ventilation pressure of the inner low-pressure chamber 9 is gradually reduced or stopped, forming a low-pressure working environment, while the outer high-pressure chamber 10 continues to flow high-pressure gas to prevent surrounding water from flowing into the working area. At this point, the working area of ​​the device has achieved normal pressure drainage, and the internal space has formed a stable, controllable dry environment suitable for underwater welding operations.

[0046] As the working environment stabilizes, the operator can observe the welding process in real time through the operating window system 4 on the top of the main frame 1. The operator can precisely control the welding tool and perform the welding operation through the sealed gloves in the transparent observation window 16. The design of the operating window system 4 ensures a tight seal and safe operation during operation, preventing water from entering the device while maintaining stable internal air pressure.

[0047] During the welding process, the operator can adjust the angle of the foldable cavity system 2 according to different welding requirements and environmental demands to achieve flexible adjustment of the welding angle, such as Figure 6 As shown, the 90° wall working state of the device of the present invention is shown. Figure 7 As shown, it is the 270° wall working state of the device of the present invention.

[0048] Furthermore, the adsorption mechanism 5 achieves stable adsorption force regulation during operation through a graded adsorption mode. High-power and low-power suction cup motor assemblies act on the primary and auxiliary adsorption zones, respectively, ensuring the device can stably adhere to underwater surfaces of varying shapes, further enhancing the stability and safety of welding operations.

[0049] Finally, after the device completes the welding operation, the working environment can be restored to normal by adjusting the air pressure control system 3, ensuring that the device can smoothly leave the working wall area after completing the task and be ready for the next operation.

[0050] In summary, the specific implementation of the present invention not only achieves efficient and stable underwater welding operations through precise design and reasonable pressure regulation control, but also has excellent adaptability in sealing, drainage and angle adjustment, etc., providing an innovative and efficient technical solution for underwater welding, repair and other operations.
