[0020] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the large-diameter welded pipe butt-forming auxiliary control device includes two sets of roller racks 3. At least one set of the roller racks 3 is arranged on the sliding seat 5 of the axial translation operation table. The axial translation operation table is used to drive one set of the roller racks 3 to displace relative to the other set of the roller racks; each of the two sets of the roller racks 3 supports a welded pipe 4 to be welded; it further includes an extrusion adjustment component. The extrusion adjustment component is arranged on the support ring 8. In this embodiment, the rear view of the support ring 8 is in a ring structure. As Figure 2 shown, the middle part of the support ring 8 is hollowed out. The advantage of this design is that it is convenient to observe and measure the flatness when the two welded pipes 4 to be welded are butted. The support ring 8 is arranged between the two sets of roller rack groups, that is, between the two welded pipes 4 to be welded, so as to facilitate the extrusion adjustment component to extrude the outer surfaces of the connecting ends of the two welded pipes 4 to be welded; the support ring 8 is fixed on the fixed seat 1 of the axial translation operation table; in this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, a support ring support frame 7 is provided, and then the support ring 8 is connected through a connecting arm 11, and the support ring support frame 7 is fixed to the fixed seat 1 of the axial translation operation table; a number of the extrusion adjustment components are arranged in a circle at intervals along the support ring to form a group, and are used for radially extruding the connecting ends of the two to-be-welded pipes, so as to make the butting surfaces of the two to-be-welded pipes flat and fit.

[0021] Optionally, as Figure 1 shown, the roller rack consists of a left roller rack and a right roller rack; both the left roller rack and the right roller rack can be slidably arranged on the roller rack support seat in the left and right directions. During use, they are driven to move left and right by a driving device 2, and at the same time, a rotating motor (not shown) is also provided to drive the driving wheel to control the rotation of the roller rack 3 for the to-be-welded pipe 4 to rotate (the current roller rack already has this function); the roller rack support seat is arranged on the sliding seat 5.

[0022] Optionally, as Figure 2 shown, two groups of the extrusion adjustment components are provided, and the two groups of the extrusion adjustment components are arranged adjacent to each other axially, that is, one group of the extrusion adjustment components is used to extrude one to-be-welded pipe 4, and the other group is used to extrude the other to-be-welded pipe 4.

[0023] Optionally, as Figure 3 shown, the extrusion adjustment component includes a telescopic cylinder 10, a connecting component and an arc-shaped roller pressing plate 9; the bottom surface of the arc-shaped roller pressing plate 9 is arranged as an arc surface to match the surface of the to-be-welded pipe 4. During processing, different specifications of arc surfaces are matched according to the common pipe diameters of the to-be-welded pipes 4, such as 15m, etc., to improve the matching degree; a number of rolling wheels or rolling beads 13 are arranged on the bottom surface of the arc-shaped roller pressing plate 9; the upper part of the arc-shaped roller pressing plate 9 is detachably connected to the connecting component. In this embodiment, the following scheme is adopted: the connecting component includes a connecting seat, a clamping groove 22 is arranged at the lower part of the connecting seat, a connecting rod 14 is arranged at the upper part of the arc-shaped roller pressing plate 9, and the connecting rod 14 is clamped into the clamping groove 22 and then tightened and connected by a bolt 21; a T-shaped groove 20 is arranged at the upper part of the connecting seat, and a T-shaped connecting head 19 is clamped on the T-shaped groove 20; a piezoresistive resistance module 15 is arranged between the T-shaped connecting head 19 and the bottom surface of the T-shaped groove 20; the upper part of the T-shaped connecting head 19 is provided with a clamping groove 18 and is fixed by a bolt 16 to realize the detachable connection with the telescopic rod 17 of the telescopic cylinder 10, which is convenient for daily maintenance. The telescopic cylinder 10 can be a double-acting cylinder, and can be an electric telescopic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder driven by a stepping motor with a speed reducer, such as Figure 1 shown, the telescopic cylinder 10 is fixed to the support ring 8.

[0024] Optionally, as Figure 2As shown, a pressure display module 12 is provided on the support ring 8, and the pressure display module 12 is electrically connected to the piezoresistive module 15. In this embodiment, a pressure display module 12 is provided beside each extrusion adjustment component, which facilitates technicians to view in a timely and convenient manner during operation. The pressure display module 12 can use a small module within a size of 5 cm.

[0025] Optionally, as Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, eight extrusion adjustment components form a group and are arranged in a circle at intervals of 45°.

[0026] Optionally, as Figure 2 shown, a plurality of clamping holes 5-1 are axially provided on the sliding seat, and a synchronous pressure rod 5-2 is detachably provided on the clamping holes 5-1. The purpose of setting the synchronous pressure rod 5-2 is that for some pipes to be welded 4 with a smaller diameter and lighter weight, they cannot rely on their own gravity to well eliminate the extrusion force of several extrusion adjustment components and there will be a displacement of the pipe to be welded 4 relative to the sliding seat 5 during the axial displacement. That is, the function of setting the synchronous pressure rod 5-2 is to ensure the synchronization of the pipe to be welded 4 and the sliding seat 5 during the axial displacement.

[0027] When using the large-diameter pipe butt joint forming auxiliary control device as described above for auxiliary control, the operation is as follows: (1) Synchronously adjust the left roller stand and the right roller stand according to the diameter of the pipe to be welded, lift the two pipes to be welded 4 into the two sets of roller stands respectively, and control the connection ends of the two pipes to be welded to be within the extrusion range of the arc-shaped roller pressing plates of the extrusion adjustment components; make the center of the pipe to be welded coincide with the center of the support ring; during operation, the center of the support ring 8 is fixed. Therefore, in actual operation, after synchronously adjusting the left roller stand and the right roller stand and placing the pipe to be welded 4 on it, the roller stand 3 can be driven first to make the pipe to be welded 4 rotate several times;

[0028] (2) Control the arc-shaped roller pressing plate of the extrusion adjustment component to displace radially and press against the outer surface of the pipe to be welded, and perform a standard circle fine-tuning operation on the connection end of the pipe to be welded 4; control the radial displacement amount of the arc-shaped roller pressing plate by comparing the flatness of the outer surfaces of the connection ends of the two pipes to be welded. At the same time, control the extrusion force within the safe pressure range through the pressure display module. If the extrusion force value is too large in some directions, the connection end of the pipe to be welded 4 will deviate relatively from the standard circle. At this time, all extrusion adjustment components can be retracted first and a suitable extrusion force can be maintained, and then the pipe to be welded 4 can be rotated to perform a standard circle fine-tuning on the connection end of the pipe to be welded 4;

[0029] (3) Check the flatness of the outer surfaces of the connection ends of the two pipes to be welded in a circle;

[0030] (4) Control the sliding seat displacement of the axial translation operation table to prompt the connection ends of the two to-be-welded steel pipes to abut against each other;

[0031] (5) Conduct a second inspection around the flatness of the outer surfaces of the connection ends of the two to-be-welded steel pipes;

[0032] (6) Maintain / fine-tune the extrusion force of the arc-shaped roller pressing plate of the extrusion adjustment component;

[0033] (7) Weld from the inner ends of the two to-be-welded steel pipes.

[0034] Optionally, when controlling the arc-shaped roller pressing plate of the extrusion adjustment component to perform extrusion, extrusion adjustment is performed according to the two relatively arranged extrusion adjustment components.
