[0041] The transportation and installation process of the device of the present application includes: the device of the present application can be disassembled into multiple components and transported to the pre-welding location by manpower or elevator. The base 101 is first positioned. After the positioned base 101 is placed, the support column 102 is installed. According to the height of the welding ball, the installation of the telescopic rod 103 and the bracket 104 is completed in sequence. After the welding ball support structure is installed, the rod support structure is installed. The lifting rod 107 and the rod support block 108 are connected and fixed to the cylindrical socket joint 201 in sequence. The height of the lifting rod 107 is roughly adjusted first, and then the clamping structure is installed.

After being transported to the site, the appearance and geometric dimensions of the fixing rods 500 and the welding balls 106 are inspected and placed in the predetermined positions according to the numbers.
[0043] Set-out: Based on the measurement control reference points, an independent rectangular plane control grid is set up as the basis for construction layout. The plane control grid determines the center position of each grid welded support and marks it. Grid lines are popped up on the foundation surface according to the grid size, which serves as a reference for the installation of the 500 rods to be fixed. Complex curved grids require the use of BIM models for layout.

Install the rod support structure: sequentially connect and fix the lifting rod 107 and the rod support block 108 to the cylindrical socket joint 201, and first roughly adjust the height of the rod lifting rod using the lifting rod 107. Then install the clamping structure.
[0046] Rod placement: Arrange the prepared rods 500 to be fixed and the steel pipes according to the specified specifications. Before placing the rods 500, check the specifications and dimensions of the rods 500, as well as the grooves and weld gaps. Place the rods 500 between the two balls. Adjust the upper and lower clamping structures of the rods 500 according to the set-out height to secure them. Finally, perform spot welding to secure them.
[0047] Welding: For flat grid welding, the arc should be struck from 20 to 30 mm to the left of the lower center line of the 500-mm rod to be fixed, and welded to the right, gradually completing the overhead welding, main welding, climbing welding, flat welding and other welding positions. The ball tube welding should be carried out using an oblique sawtooth welding technique to prevent biting. After the welding rod reaches the center line of the round tube, continue to weld forward 20 to 30 mm and close the arc. After the semicircle is welded, start the arc again from 20 to 30 mm to the right of the lower center line of the steel pipe, and weld to the left. The same process as above, continue to weld forward after reaching the top center line, fill the arc pit, and ensure a smooth weld overlap.
[0048] The structural design of the grid welding support can not only adjust the spatial position of the welding balls and the rods to be fixed during the grid welding process, but also can be recycled repeatedly, avoiding material waste and solving the problems of low grid welding precision and unstable operation; the cross-shaped accommodating structure of the welding ball holder in the grid welding support can be suitable for most welding balls of different sizes; the rod support structure in the grid welding support fixes the rods through a variable radius arc clamping device, avoiding human influence, making the welding process smooth and improving product quality; the portable and assembled structural characteristics of the grid welding support device are convenient for transportation, production and installation, and easy to operate.
