[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification and the specific embodiments. The described embodiments are one of the embodiments of the present utility model, and the present utility model may also have other embodiments.

[0019] Embodiment:

[0020] Refer to Figures 1 - 2 , a penstock stiffening ring compaction device of the present utility model, the penstock 3 has an open end upward and its lower end stands on the ground through a plurality of piers 4, including an L-shaped vertical frame 1, a driving motor 5; the horizontal frame of the L-shaped vertical frame 1 is located above and the horizontal frame is connected downward with a vertical plate 2, the vertical plate 2 is connected with a first vertical roller 6 and the first vertical roller 6 faces the vertical frame of the L-shaped vertical frame 1; the driving motor 5 is fixed on the vertical frame of the L-shaped vertical frame 1, the driving motor 5 is connected with a horizontal roller 7 and the horizontal roller 7 points to the vertical plate 2;

[0021] The vertical frame of the L-shaped vertical frame 1 is connected with a second vertical roller 8, and the second vertical roller 8 is on the same side as the horizontal roller 7; the vertical frame of the L-shaped vertical frame 1 is connected with a plurality of horizontal compaction oil cylinders 9 from top to bottom;

[0022] The horizontal roller 7 abuts against the top of the wall of the pressure steel pipe 3, the first vertical roller 6 abuts against the inner side of the pressure steel pipe 3, the second vertical roller 8 abuts against the outer side of the pressure steel pipe 3, and the piston rod ends of multiple horizontal clamping cylinders 9 point to the stiffening ring 10 one by one.

[0023] In this embodiment, the drive motor 5 is started, and the drive motor 5 drives the horizontal roller 7 to rotate, and the rotation of the horizontal roller 7 drives the entire device to make a circular motion along the wall of the pressure steel pipe 3; when the device reaches the position to be pressed, the drive motor 5 is turned off to stop the device, and then the horizontal pressing oil cylinder 9 is activated so that the end of its piston rod gradually presses against the stiffening ring 10 and performs a pressing operation. This process does not require manual hand-held pressing tools to press the stiffening ring 10, saving manpower and high operating efficiency.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the vertical frame of the L-shaped frame 1 is connected to a lifting cylinder 11; the output end of the lifting cylinder 11 is located below it and is connected to a horizontal rod 12, and the end of the horizontal rod 12 away from the lifting cylinder 11 is upwardly connected to a third vertical roller 13; the third vertical roller 13 abuts against the inner side of the pressure steel pipe 3.

[0025] In this embodiment, during the circular motion of the device along the wall of the pressure steel pipe 3, the first vertical roller 6 abuts against the inner side of the pressure steel pipe 3 and is located near the top end of the pressure steel pipe 3, the third vertical roller 13 abuts against the inner side of the pressure steel pipe 3 and is located near the lower end of the pressure steel pipe 3, and the second vertical roller 8 abuts against the outer side of the pressure steel pipe 3; these three rollers can enable the pressure steel pipe 3 to maintain balanced force from top to bottom during the circular motion of the device and the clamping operation of the horizontal clamping cylinder 9, so that the pressure steel pipe 3 is more stable and not easy to overturn.

[0026] When the device rotates along the wall of the pressure steel pipe 3 to the pier 4, the lifting cylinder 11 is operated to drive the horizontal rod 12 to move downward, thereby driving the third vertical roller 13 to move downward until the third vertical roller 13 can completely separate from the wall of the pressure steel pipe 3 in height, and then the device is moved to avoid the pier 4 and then placed on the wall of the pressure steel pipe 3 to continue rotating.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the output end of the lifting cylinder 11 is connected to the horizontal rod 12 via a vertical connecting rod 14 .

[0028] In this embodiment, the existence of the vertical connecting rod 14 expands the lifting range of the lifting cylinder 11 on the horizontal rod 12, so that the third vertical roller 13 can adapt to pressure steel pipes 3 of different heights.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, the horizontal rod 12 is a telescopic rod.

[0030] In this embodiment, the horizontal rod 12 is a telescopic rod. The form of the telescopic rod can be an electric telescopic rod or other forms of telescopic rods in the prior art.

Then, the horizontal rod 12 is telescopically operated to avoid the abutment 4, and after the device is rotated continuously, the third vertical roller 13 is restored to the predetermined position to continue the operation. In this way, there is no need to manually move the device to avoid the abutment 4, saving physical strength.
