[0066] The cleaning assembly is in use, the first adapter pipe 36 is docked with the external pulse fan through the conduit, the second adapter pipe 45 is docked with the external industrial dust collector through the conduit;

[0067] The cleaning assembly is in movement, start the fifth motor 42, through the cooperation of the second gear 43 and the second gear ring 40, make the annular air deflector 38 rotate in the inner ring of the second annular frame 26, adjust the air outlet position of the plurality of air outlet pipes 39, clean the seamless steel pipe wall more evenly, the cleaned dust and impurities will enter the dust collection annular frame 44 through the dust collection pipe 47, and then enter the industrial dust collector through the second adapter pipe 45;

[0071] Equipment parameter pre-adjustment: according to the actual length and diameter of the seamless steel pipe to be corrected, start the first motor 5 to drive the first rotating shaft 6, use the first lead screw 7 with opposite threads at both ends to drive the supporting plate 2 to slide horizontally along the machine base 1, accurately adjust the distance between the two supporting plates 2, at this time, the plurality of U-shaped limiting frames 4 will slide along the machine base 1;

At this time, the seamless steel pipe penetrates through the first annular frame 24, the third annular frame 27, the second annular frame 26 and the dust absorption annular frame 44 on the equipment, and enters the waiting processing position.
