[0015] Now, the present utility model will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings are simplified schematic views, only illustrating the basic structure of the present utility model in a schematic manner, so they only show the components related to the present utility model.

[0016] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , a longitudinal seam welding device for a small - sized penstock, comprising a gantry 1 and a penstock 8 inside the gantry 1. Electric hoists 2 are respectively arranged on both sides of the gantry 1. The electric hoists 2 are connected to a support frame 4 through pulling ropes 3. Therefore, when the electric hoists 2 operate, the support frame 4 can be driven to lift and lower through the pulling ropes 3. A detachable guide rail 5 is arranged inside the support frame 4. It is most convenient that the support frame 4 and the guide rail 5 are connected by bolts. A mobile welding device is arranged inside the guide rail 5 and can move along the guide rail 5. The penstock 8 is arranged directly below the guide rail 5.

[0017] Specifically, the mobile welding device includes a welding carriage 6, and the welding carriage 6 welds the longitudinal seam of the penstock 8 when moving along the guide rail 5.

[0018] Since the guide rail 5 is detachably connected to the support frame 4, when welding the longitudinal seam of the steel pipe 8, the outer seam and the inner seam can be welded separately, thereby improving the welding firmness and strength. When the guide rail 5 and the welding trolley 6 are arranged outside the steel pipe, the outer seam of the steel pipe is welded; when the guide rail 5 and the welding trolley 6 are arranged inside the steel pipe, the inner seam of the steel pipe is welded.

[0019] Please refer to again Figures 1-2 , Figures 1-2 for welding the outer seam of the steel pipe. Before welding the outer seam, first turn the longitudinal seam of the steel pipe to the uppermost position, then the electric hoist 2 runs to drive the pulling rope 3 to lift the support frame 4 to an appropriate height, and then drive the welding trolley 6. At this time, the welding trolley 6 will weld along the uppermost longitudinal seam.

[0020] Please refer to again Figure 3 , Figure 3 for welding the inner seam of the longitudinal seam of the steel pipe. Before welding the inner seam, first rotate the steel pipe 8 so that the longitudinal seam is at the lowermost position, then disassemble the guide rail 5 and lower the support frame 4, and then pass the guide rail 5 through the steel pipe and fix it on the support frame 4; then adjust the height of the guide rail 5 and the welding trolley 6 again through the electric hoist and the pulling rope 3 until the welding trolley 6 can contact the inner seam of the longitudinal seam; when the welding trolley moves along the guide rail 5, the inner seam is welded.

[0021] Using like this can weld the inner and outer parts of the longitudinal seam of the steel pipe separately, greatly improving the welding firmness, increasing the strength of the steel pipe, and meeting the use requirements.

[0022] In addition, since the electric hoist 2 and the pulling rope 3 can adjust the height of the guide rail 5 and the welding trolley 6, it can be adjusted in real time according to the different diameters of the steel pipes during use, and can meet the welding use of steel pipes of different thicknesses, with a relatively wide range of applications.

[0023] Furthermore, two supporting rollers 7 for support are provided at the bottom of the steel pipe 8. The two ends of the supporting roller 7 are installed on the ground through bearing seats 71. The setting of the supporting roller 7 can adjust the position of the longitudinal seam of the steel pipe, facilitate the correspondence between the longitudinal seam and the welding trolley, and improve the welding accuracy.

[0024] In order to ensure that the guide rail 5 and the welding trolley 6 do not shift and shake during the vertical lifting process, limiting rods 41 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support frame 4, and vertical limiting grooves 11 are provided on the inner side of the gantry 1. When the support frame 4 moves up and down, the limiting rods 41 move along the limiting grooves 11. The outer ends of the limiting rods 41 are always arranged inside the limiting grooves 11, so the stability of the support frame 4 is improved and overall shaking is avoided.

[0025] In this embodiment, the two electric hoists 2 always run simultaneously.

[0026] In this embodiment, during the welding process, the bottom circumference of the idler roller 7 is supported and limited by external objects to prevent rotation during welding.

[0027] In this embodiment, the gantry, support frame, guide rail, etc. are all welded and fabricated from construction waste materials, with low overall cost and easy fabrication, saving costs for construction.

[0028] The steel pipe 8 in this embodiment is formed by bending a steel plate. When the steel plate is bent to form the steel pipe, there is a gap on the side, and this gap is the longitudinal seam of the steel pipe. This device is used to weld the inner and outer longitudinal seams of the steel pipe.

[0029] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples given for clear illustration and are not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
