[0020] The rounding part includes a lifting cylinder 1 arranged on the ground, a horizontal cross brace 2 facing one side is fixed on the top of the lifting cylinder 1, two groups of fixed inner support groups are arranged axially on the cross brace 2, the fixed inner support groups include a plurality of fixed inner support rods 3 arranged radially along the cross brace 2, and telescopic sleeves are also fixed to the ends of the fixed inner support rods 3; it also includes a rounding top support cylinder group arranged between the two groups of fixed inner support groups, the rounding top support cylinder group includes a plurality of rounding top support cylinders 4 uniformly fixed radially along the cross brace; it also includes a fixed base with a roller 6, the fixed base is fixed to the ground on one side of the cross brace 2, and the pressure steel pipe is rotatably placed on the roller 6;

[0021] The stiffening part includes a mobile base arranged next to the fixed base, and the mobile base is provided with a clamping cylinder 8 arranged obliquely toward the outer wall of the pressure steel pipe; it also includes a transverse through hole arranged on the mobile base, and a mounting frame 9 is arranged in the transverse through hole.

[0022] During actual use of the present invention, after the preliminary welding and fixing of the longitudinal seam of the pressure steel pipe is completed, the telescopic sleeve at the end of the fixed inner support rod 3 is retracted, and then the pressure steel pipe is directly hoisted through the fixed inner support rod 3 of the device by using a gantry crane, and is hoisted into the projection range of the transverse support rod 2, and is placed on the roller 6 of the fixed base, and the dome-adjusting top support cylinder 4 is started, and the ovality of the pressure steel pipe is adjusted 360° by the dome-adjusting top support cylinder 4, and then the fixed inner support rod 3 is cooperated with the telescopic sleeve to support the pressure steel pipe that meets the ovality, and finally the ovality of the pressure steel pipe is tested again. For the installation of the stiffening ring 16, firstly, the stiffening ring 16 is hoisted and fixed to the wall of the pressure steel pipe, and the roller 6 is driven by the driving motor to rotate so as to rotate the pressure steel pipe, and the stiffening ring 16 is clamped in sections by the clamping cylinder 8. During the clamping process, the outer wall of the pressure steel pipe and the stiffening ring 16 are ensured to be tightly connected by the installation frame 9 and the clamping rod 10, so as to reduce the gap between the pressure steel pipe and the stiffening ring 16, and then preliminary welding reinforcement is performed, and the stiffening ring 16 butt joint is welded, and finally, the telescopic sleeve is shortened and the pressure steel pipe is rotated, so as to transfer the pressure steel pipe to the stiffening ring 16 welding station for subsequent welding and fixing. For a pressure steel pipe with multiple stiffening rings 16, a cross plate can also be set at the piston end of the clamping cylinder 8, and the clamping operation of multiple stiffening rings 16 can be performed at one time through the cross plate, so as to improve work efficiency.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment, the fixed base comprises a base plate 5 , and a roller 6 is provided at each of the four corners of the base plate 5 .

[0024] In this embodiment, a structure of a base plate 5 is provided. In this embodiment, four rollers 6 are arranged on the base plate 5, and the four rollers are arranged in a square shape as a whole.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, the outside of the jacking cylinder 1 is also covered with a protective sleeve 11 with a top opening, and a lifting column 12 that can move up and down is provided in the opening of the protective sleeve 11. The lower surface of the lifting column 12 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the jacking cylinder 1, and the upper surface of the lifting column 12 is fixedly connected to the cross brace rod 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, the purpose of providing the protective sleeve 11 is to ensure the stability of the cross brace 2 during the lifting process, to prevent the external environment from affecting the jacking cylinder 1 during construction, causing deflection or tipping, causing the pressure steel pipe to slip, and causing safety hazards.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, both ends of the cross brace rod 2 extend toward both sides of the jacking cylinder 1, and both ends of the cross brace rod are provided with a fixed inner support group and a dome-adjustable top support cylinder group; a stiffening part is respectively provided on the left and right sides of the jacking cylinder 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, by providing a stiffening portion on each side of the top support cylinder 1, and cooperating with the fixed inner support group and the rounding top support cylinder group provided at both ends, the welding and rounding process of two groups of pressure steel pipe sections can be carried out at one time, which greatly shortens the construction period.

[0030] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the installation frame 9 is set as a detachable structure, which can ensure that the lifting and lifting process of the pressure steel pipe can be carried out smoothly, and avoid the problem of the pressure steel pipe bumping due to the installation frame 9. Specifically, when the pressure steel pipe needs to be lifted in, first rotate the connecting rod 14 with a threaded section to remove it from the main rod 13, and then pull the main rod 13 to the other end, so that the clamping rod 10 on the other side can avoid the range of the pressure steel pipe, which is convenient for lifting the pressure steel pipe. After lifting, perform the above steps in reverse to complete the installation of the installation frame 9, thereby ensuring that the clamping rods 10 on both sides can effectively clamp the inner wall of the pressure steel pipe.
