Fixed connecting shafts 4 are fixedly installed on the front and rear end surfaces of the fifteen bottom fixing plates 2, and the fixed connecting shafts 4 are away from the bottom A side limiting plate 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing plate 2. The side limiting plate 3 is installed so that it can cooperate with the runner body 12 at its lower end to limit the LNG delivery pipeline, so as to prevent the device from automatically adjusting the position of the LNG delivery pipeline after the installation and fixing is completed, so that the LNG delivery pipeline is automatically aligned, making the device more convenient to use and enhancing the practicality of the device. The side limiting plate 3 and the side of the bottom fixing plate 2 away from the fixed welding platform 1 are fixedly installed with a threaded cylinder 17, and the threaded cylinder 17 is welded to the side limiting plate 3 and the bottom fixing plate 2. A threaded rod 18 is installed at one end of the threaded cylinder 17 away from the fixed welding platform 1 through a thread. The threaded rod 18 can be installed to cooperate with the threaded cylinder 17, so that the threaded rod 18 can be rotated by a pitch, so that the position of the runner body 12 can be adjusted, making the runner body 12 more convenient to use. A runner mounting bracket 11 is fixedly installed on one end of the threaded rod 18, and the runner body 12 is rotatably installed inside the runner mounting bracket 11;

[0025] A through shaft 13 is arranged below the fixed welding platform 1. There are six through shafts 13. The six through shafts 13 are rotatably connected to the rotor mounting bracket 11. When the through shaft 13 is installed, the device can rotate outside the LNG delivery pipeline. The rotation of the rotor body 12 will drive the through shaft 13 to rotate, and then the through shaft 13 drives the cleaning barrel 14 and the cleaning brush 15 to rotate, so that the cleaning brush 15 brushes the outside of the LNG delivery pipeline to keep the outside of the LNG delivery pipeline clean, ensuring that the staff can quickly weld the LNG delivery pipeline. The six through shafts 13 all penetrate the interior of the rotor body 12 and are fixedly connected to the rotor body 12.

Next, the staff rotates the device. Due to the welding point between the runner body 12 and the outside of the LNG delivery pipeline, the runner body 12 rotates under the action of friction, and then the rotation of the runner body 12 will drive the through shaft 13 to rotate, and then the through shaft 13 drives the cleaning barrel 14 and the cleaning brush 15 to rotate, so that the cleaning brush 15 brushes the outside of the LNG delivery pipeline to keep the outside of the LNG delivery pipeline clean. When the staff rotates the device to one hundred and eighty degrees, the welding gun mechanism 10 works to weld the LNG delivery pipeline, and then the staff rotates the device one hundred and eighty degrees again. The fifteen bottom fixing plates 2 installed in the device can cooperate with the connecting thin plate 5 and the connecting pin 6 to enable the device to be quickly covered on the outside of the LNG delivery pipeline. Only any one of the connecting pins 6 needs to be removed to The device is disassembled into a straight line, so that the device occupies less space when stored. At the same time, when the device is installed on the outside of LNG delivery pipelines of different specifications, several bottom fixing plates 2 can be selectively disassembled, so that the device can be quickly installed on the outside of LNG delivery pipelines of different specifications. The side limit plate 3 is installed to cooperate with the runner body 12 at its lower end to limit the LNG delivery pipeline, so as to prevent the device from automatically adjusting the position of the LNG delivery pipeline after the installation and fixation is completed, so that the LNG delivery pipeline is automatically aligned, making the device more convenient to use and enhancing the practicality of the device. The threaded rod 18 can be installed to cooperate with the threaded cylinder 17, so that the threaded rod 18 can rotate a pitch to adjust the position of the runner body 12, so that the runner body 12 is more convenient to use. The through shaft 13 can be installed so that when the device is rotated outside the LNG delivery pipeline, the rotation of the runner body 12 will drive the through shaft 13 to rotate, and then the through shaft 13 drives the cleaning cylinder 14 and the cleaning brush 15 to rotate, so that the cleaning brush 15 brushes the outside of the LNG delivery pipeline, so that the outside of the LNG delivery pipeline is kept clean, and the staff can quickly weld the LNG delivery pipeline.
