When welding pipelines, a pipe welding machine is required. A pipe welding machine is a special automated or semi-automated equipment used to weld pipes together. To this end, patent CN221247576U discloses a pipe welding machine, including a sleeve with a clamping structure inside. A steel pipe is mounted on the clamping structure for use with it. A gear is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer side of the sleeve. Support members are connected to the front and rear ends of the bottom of the sleeve by bearings. Sliding holes are opened on both sides of the bottom center of the support member, and sliding columns are slidably connected within the sliding holes. Threaded blocks are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of both sides of the support member, and threaded rods are threadedly connected within the threaded blocks.

A support plate is installed on one side of each of the first telescopic rods, and a fixed motor is installed on each support plate. A rotating shaft is installed at the output end of each fixed motor, and a clamp is installed at one end of each rotating shaft.

[0006] The above structure allows the pipe body to rotate, enabling welding of the pipe body from all angles.

At the same time, the belt assembly drives the connecting shaft to rotate, the first gear drives the second gear to rotate, the limit screw rotates, the movable block drives the second telescopic rod to move, and adjusts the height of the positioning plate so that the positioning plate contacts the pipe body when docking, thus achieving the purpose of pressing and positioning it. Furthermore, by rotating the second adjusting screw, the second bushing drives the positioning plate to move, thereby achieving the purpose of fine-tuning the position of the positioning plate so that the positioning plate can press and position pipe bodies of different diameters during docking, thus improving the performance. Furthermore, through the rotating mechanism, when the support frame drives the pipe body to move and connect, the first telescopic rod drives the support plate to move, the clamp contacts the pipe body, the fixed motor starts, the rotating shaft drives the clamp to rotate, so that the pipe body can be rotated in all directions to improve welding efficiency. Furthermore, by rotating the first adjusting screw, the first bushing drives the support plate to move, fine-tuning the position of the clamp so that the clamp can hold pipe bodies of different lengths during docking, thereby improving the performance. With the protective structure in place, when the support frame moves the pipe body, the pipe body passes through the vertical plate. The telescopic spring moves the sealing gasket, making it contact the surface of the pipe body, which improves the sealing between the vertical plate and the pipe body and plays a certain role in blocking welding slag, thus preventing welding slag from splashing and adhering to the positioning pressure plate during welding.
