If a large number of elbows need to be replaced, not only the workload is large, the labor intensity is high, the production is inconvenient, and the efficiency is low, but also it is a manual operation and the processing quality is difficult to guarantee.

The lower part of each elbow 1 is placed in the lower arc groove of each vertical plate 23, and each elbow 1 is provided with a limiting pressure plate 26. The upper part of each elbow 1 is placed under the lower limiting pressure plate 26. In the upper arc groove, the radial width of the upper arc groove is smaller than the outer diameter of the elbow 1, and one side of the limiting pressure plate 26 is connected to the lower connecting plate 25 on one side of the lower arc groove of the vertical plate 23 through a fixed upper connecting plate 27 by several bolts 28; the four elbows 1 are arranged in a circular ring, and the adjacent ends of the two adjacent elbows 1 are fixedly connected by several tie plates 32 welded on their upper semicircular plates and lower semicircular plates respectively; two annularly arranged equal-height pads 29 are also provided under the elbow 1 between the two adjacent T-shaped supports 21.
