Installing two take-up rollers 15 can take up the steel wire ropes 4, so that the steel wire ropes 4 drive the inner bracket 13 and the outer bracket 5 to move longitudinally, thereby ensuring that the device stably welds the longitudinal seams of the inner tank of the LNG cryogenic storage tank, enhancing the practicability of the device. Steel wire ropes 4 are arranged at the front and rear ends of the outside of the two take-up rollers 15. One end of the steel wire rope 4 is fixedly connected to the take-up roller 15. An outer bracket 5 is arranged on one side below the top lifting bracket 1, and the outer bracket 5 is fixedly connected to the steel wire rope 4. An inner bracket 13 is arranged on the other side below the top lifting bracket 1, and the inner bracket 13 is fixedly connected to the steel wire rope 4. High-strength connecting thin plates 6 are installed inside the upper ends of the outer bracket 5 and the inner bracket 13 through card slots. Installing the high-strength connecting thin plates 6 can cooperate with the adjusting plate 10 and the adjusting screw rod 11 to hold the inner bracket 13 and the outer bracket 5, preventing the inner bracket 13 and the outer bracket 5 from shaking laterally, ensuring the stability when the inner bracket 13 and the outer bracket 5 move, enabling the device not to need to cooperate with a gantry, reducing the overall volume of the device, making the device more convenient for transportation and use, and at the same time reducing the cost of the device. One end of the high-strength connecting thin plate 6 away from the outer bracket 5 is installed with an adjusting plate 10, and the adjusting plate 10 is fixedly connected to the high-strength connecting thin plate 6. An adjusting screw rod 11 is installed inside the adjusting plate 10 through threads. Installing the adjusting screw rod 11 can make one end of it abut against the inner bracket 13, thereby adjusting the position of the inner bracket 13 outside the high-strength connecting thin plate 6, ensuring that the inner bracket 13 and the outer bracket 5 can closely adhere to the upper end of the inner tank of the LNG cryogenic storage tank. There are four adjusting screw rods 11;

[0025] The electric telescopic rod 7 is fixedly installed inside the outer bracket 5. An anti-wear roller 8 is installed at the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 7. Installing the electric telescopic rod 7 and the anti-wear roller 8 can prevent the inner bracket 13 and the outer bracket 5 from shaking at the upper end of the inner tank of the LNG cryogenic storage tank when the device is in use, ensuring the stability during the operation of the device. The anti-wear roller 8 is rotatably connected to the electric telescopic rod 7.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4, driving motors 3 are installed on both sides of the front end face of the top lifting bracket 1. The driving motors 3 are connected to the top lifting bracket 1 by screws. The rotating part of the driving motor 3 is fixedly connected to the winding roller 15. A control box 2 is installed on one side of the top lifting bracket 1. The control box 2 is fixedly connected to the top lifting bracket 1. A welding torch mechanism 9 is installed on the lower end face inside the outer bracket 5. The welding torch mechanism 9 is fixedly connected to the outer bracket 5. Rotating handles 12 are installed at one end of each of the four adjusting lead screws 11. The rotating handles 12 are welded to the adjusting lead screws 11. An installation clamping platform 14 is installed at the lower end of the top lifting bracket 1. Installing the installation clamping platform 14 can facilitate the staff to quickly fix the device at the upper end of the inner tank of the LNG cryogenic storage tank, reduce the installation difficulty of the device, make the device more convenient to use, make the device more user-friendly. The installation clamping platform 14 is fixedly connected to the top lifting bracket 1. The inner side of the installation clamping platform 14 is provided with the inner tank of the LNG cryogenic storage tank. The installation clamping platform 14 is connected to the upper end of the inner tank of the LNG cryogenic storage tank through a card slot.

[0027] Working principle: When in use, the staff place the top lifting bracket 1 on the upper end of the inner tank of the LNG cryogenic storage tank, so that the installation clamping platform 14 is clamped on the upper end of the inner tank of the LNG cryogenic storage tank, the outer bracket 5 is placed on the outside of the inner tank of the LNG cryogenic storage tank, and the inner bracket 13 is placed on the inside of the inner tank of the LNG cryogenic storage tank. Then, the staff pass the high-strength connecting thin plate 6 through the gap of the inner tank of the LNG cryogenic storage tank, and install the high-strength connecting thin plate 6 inside the upper ends of the inner bracket 13 and the outer bracket 5 through the card slots. Then, the staff turn the adjusting plate 10 so that one end of the adjusting screw rod 11 abuts against the inner bracket 13. At the same time, the electric telescopic rod 7 extends, so that the anti-wear roller 8 is in close contact with the inner tank of the LNG cryogenic storage tank. Then, the welding torch mechanism 9 welds the inner tank of the LNG cryogenic storage tank. At the same time, the driving motor 3 drives the winding roller 15 to wind the steel wire rope 4, so that the inner bracket 13 and the outer bracket 5 move upward, and the welding torch mechanism 9 moves and welds the inner tank of the LNG cryogenic storage tank. When the inner bracket 13 and the outer bracket 5 move to a position more than half of the inner tank of the LNG cryogenic storage tank, the device stops working. The staff remove the device, and place the inner tank of the LNG cryogenic storage tank rotated 180 degrees. Then, the staff repeat the above device installation work, and then weld the remaining part of the inner tank of the LNG cryogenic storage tank. Two winding rollers 15 are installed on this device to wind the steel wire rope 4, so that the steel wire rope 4 drives the inner bracket 13 and the outer bracket 5 to move longitudinally, thereby ensuring that the device stably welds the longitudinal seam of the inner tank of the LNG cryogenic storage tank, enhancing the practicability of the device. Installing the high-strength connecting thin plate 6 can make it cooperate with the adjusting plate 10 and the adjusting screw rod 11 to pull the inner bracket 13 and the outer bracket 5, preventing the inner bracket 13 and the outer bracket 5 from shaking horizontally, ensuring the stability when the inner bracket 13 and the outer bracket 5 move, enabling the device to be used without cooperating with a gantry, reducing the overall volume of the device, making the device more convenient for transportation and use, and at the same time reducing the cost of the device. Installing the adjusting screw rod 11 can make one end of it abut against the inner bracket 13, thereby adjusting the position of the inner bracket 13 outside the high-strength connecting thin plate 6, ensuring that the inner bracket 13 and the outer bracket 5 can closely adhere to the upper end of the inner tank of the LNG cryogenic storage tank. Installing the electric telescopic rod 7 and the anti-wear roller 8 can prevent the inner bracket 13 and the outer bracket 5 from shaking at the upper end of the inner tank of the LNG cryogenic storage tank when the device is in use, ensuring the stability of the device during operation. Installing the installation clamping platform 14 can facilitate the staff to quickly fix this device on the upper end of the inner tank of the LNG cryogenic storage tank, reducing the installation difficulty of the device, making the device more convenient to use, and making the device more user-friendly.
