[0017] In this invention, the friction wheel rotates on the surface of the rotating support rod, causing the wind turbine tower located above the rotating rod to rotate.

The left and right movement of the clamping rod facilitates size adjustment, saving considerable time and improving machine efficiency. The movement of the clamping rod also stretches the flexible rod, ensuring stability and preventing misalignment due to uneven weight distribution. The support ring blocks support the flexible rod, preventing collapse and ensuring stability. The pressure block compresses the wind turbine tower, ensuring better adhesion between the inner wall and the rubber pad, making the machine safer and more stable during tower lifting and lowering operations. The support plate moves together with the inner wall of the slide rail, preventing jamming during operation.

A rotating support rod 49 is fixedly connected to the top of the placement frame 25. A friction wheel 47 is rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating support rod 49. A circular tooth 48 is fixedly connected to the surface of the friction wheel 47. A pull rod 45 is fixedly connected to the surface of the push rod 21 away from the first electric push rod 20.

The bottom of the support plate 50 is fixedly connected to the top of the support block 28. A motor 51 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support plate 50. When the motor 51 is turned on, its output end drives the support round seat 54 to rotate inside the support ring 53 through the rotating rod 52. The output end of the motor 51 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 52, which drives the slide groove 57 to rotate. When the second electric push rod 59 is turned on, its output end drives the sliding pull rod 60 to rotate. The groove 57 slides inside, allowing for better clamping of wind turbine towers of different sizes. A support ring 53 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 52. A support round seat 54 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support ring 53. A cylinder 55 is fixedly connected to the top of the support round seat 54. An elongated plate 56 is fixedly connected to the end of the cylinder 55 away from the support round seat 54. A flexible rod 66 is fixedly connected to the surface of the elongated plate 56. A clamping rod 64 is fixedly connected to the end of the flexible rod 66 away from the elongated plate 56. When the clamping rod 64 moves, it stretches the flexible rod 66. It is more stable during movement, avoiding misalignment caused by uneven weight distribution. A support ring block 67 is fixedly connected to the surface of the clamping rod 64, which supports the flexible rod 66 to prevent it from collapsing and thus losing its stability. A rubber pad 65 is fixedly connected to the surface of the clamping rod 64. A sliding groove 57 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 52. A support plate 58 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding groove 57. A second electric push rod 59 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support plate 58. A sliding pull rod 60 is fixedly connected to the end of the second electric push rod 59. When the rod 60 moves, it drives the clamping rod 64 to move left and right through the retracting rod 63, making the size adjustment more convenient and saving a lot of time, thereby improving the working efficiency of the machine. The top of the sliding rod 60 is hinged with an inclined plate 61. Pressing the inclined plate 61 causes the pressure block 62 to press against the wind turbine tower, making its inner wall more fully adhered to the rubber pad 65, making the machine safer and more stable when working up and down on the wind turbine tower. The end of the inclined plate 61 away from the sliding rod 60 is hinged with a pressure block 62, and the bottom of the sliding rod 60 is fixedly connected with the retracting rod 63.

[0040] The pressure block 62 is located above the elongated plate 56. The end of the retractable rod 63 away from the sliding rod 60 is fixedly connected to the surface of the clamping rod 64. There are several rubber pads 65. The slide groove 57 is located above the cylinder 55.

[0041] The flexible rod 66 is located close to the two support ring blocks 67. The end of the support ring 53 away from the rotating rod 52 is fixedly connected to the surface of the push plate 22. The support plate 50 is located above the support block 28. The rotating rod 52 passes through the support ring 53 and extends to the outer end of the rotating rod 52.

[0042] In operation, when the first electric actuator 20 is activated, the output end drives the push plate 22 to move left and right via the push rod 21. At this time, the push plate 22, through compression, drives the placement frame 25 to move inside the slide rail 29, thus fixing the wind turbine towers of different sizes and making them more stable during welding, preventing positional displacement. When the push plates 22 move away from each other, they cause the inner wall 27 of the slide rail to extend and retract outward, increasing the moving distance. Simultaneously, the telescopic rod 24 limits its position, preventing misalignment during movement and ensuring normal machine operation. When the first electric actuator 20 drives the push plate 22 to move left and right... When rod 21 moves, push rod 21 drives rack 46 to rotate circular gear 48 via pull rod 45. Circular gear 48 causes friction wheel 47 to rotate on the surface of rotating support rod 49, causing the wind turbine tower located above rotating rod 43 to rotate. At this time, rotating wheel 44 rotates on the surface of rotating rod 43, making the wind turbine tower on its surface more stable during rotation, preventing it from moving outside the machine and causing damage. This also makes welding the wind turbine tower more convenient, thus improving the machine's working efficiency. The top of the placement frame 25 has a groove 26, allowing the welding robot 41 to pass through the sliding plate 40 within it. The movement of the part makes welding wind turbine towers more convenient. When the motor 51 is turned on, the output end drives the support round seat 54 to rotate inside the support ring 53 via the rotating rod 52. At the same time, the rotating rod 52 drives the slide groove 57 to rotate. When the second electric push rod 59 is turned on, the output end drives the sliding pull rod 60 to slide inside the slide groove 57, which allows for better clamping of wind turbine towers of different sizes. When the sliding pull rod 60 moves, it drives the clamping rod 64 to move left and right via the retracting rod 63, making size adjustment more convenient and saving a lot of time, thereby improving the machine's working efficiency. Efficiency is ensured by the following: when the clamping rod 64 moves, it stretches the flexible rod 66 to make it more stable during movement, avoiding misalignment caused by uneven weight distribution. The support ring block 67 supports the flexible rod 66 to prevent it from collapsing and thus achieving stability. When the sliding rods 60 approach each other, they compress the inclined plate 61 to make the pressure block 62 compress the wind turbine tower, making its inner wall adhere more fully to the rubber pad 65, making the machine safer and more stable when working up and down on the wind turbine tower. The support plate 50 moves together with the inner wall 27 of the slide rail to avoid jamming problems during machine operation.
