[0026] By arranging the elastic pad 11, the elastic pad 11 can compensate for the slight unevenness on the pipeline surface caused by manufacturing errors, bumps or rust during transportation and loading and unloading, and through its own elastic deformation, ensure that the pipeline end face can fit more closely and achieve an ideal mating state; by arranging the tension spring 10, during the welding process, the pipeline may produce slight deformation due to thermal expansion and contraction or stress, and the tension spring 10 can play a buffering role, absorb part of the energy, reduce the impact on the pipeline and the welding joint, reduce the weld stress, and improve the weld quality.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it also includes: a plurality of slide grooves 2, which are respectively arranged on the first fixing ring 1 and the second fixing ring 3.

By setting the slider 4, the slider 4 is fixedly connected to the connecting support rod 5, so that when the connecting support rod 5 moves, the slider 4 is driven to move, thereby moving the auxiliary fixing ring 6, and after the slider 4 is inserted into the slide groove 2, a part of it protrudes from the slide groove 2.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes: a plurality of auxiliary fixing rings 6, which are movable under the slider 4 through threaded rods; a connecting support rod 5, which is set on the slider 4; and is used to slightly adjust the position of the pipeline.

[0030] An auxiliary fixing ring 6 is provided, the outer side of the auxiliary fixing ring 6 is connected to the threaded rod, the top thread of the threaded rod passes through the slider 4, and the auxiliary fixing ring 6 is driven to rise and fall by rotating the threaded rod, so as to auxiliary fix the pipeline. A soft layer is provided on the inner side of the auxiliary fixing ring 6, so that the pipeline will not be damaged when it is clamped and fixed.

[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes: a fixing portion 7, which is arranged on the first fixing ring 1 and the second fixing ring 3, and is used to fix the pipeline.
