This equipment can quickly locate, is simple and convenient to operate, is compact, has higher positioning accuracy and high adaptability, and can meet the welding positioning needs of arc plates of all pipe diameters from 219mm to 1016mm.

The adjustment range of the scale rod 6 corresponds to the arc plate welding positioning requirements with a tube diameter of 219mm to 1016mm, and its scale accuracy is ±1mm.
[0026] When working, first insert the expansion base 2 into the center hole of the perforated arc plate 1, ensuring that the axis of the expansion base 2 is completely aligned with the center hole of the arc plate; tighten the screws 9 on the expansion base 2, and the split structure of the expansion base 2 is expanded outward by the radial compression of the screws 9, forming a tight fixation with the inner wall of the center hole; then, insert the linear shaft 4 into the optical axis fixing ring 7 above the expansion base 2 and lock it with the top screw to ensure that the linear shaft 4 is strictly aligned with the axis of the center hole, providing a reference axis for subsequent marking;
[0027] According to the pipe diameter requirement of the pipe to be welded, pull the ruler rod 6 to slide it outward along the slider 3 to the corresponding scale position, and lock the extended length of the ruler rod 6 by adjusting the bolt; insert the marking pencil 10 into the pencil holder 8, adjust the extended length of the marking pencil 10 so that the tip of the marking pencil 10 contacts the curved surface of the arc plate, and fix it with the locking screw 11 in the pencil holder 8; at this time, the ruler rod 6 and the marking rod 5 are fixedly connected by the locking screw 11, and the two form a rigid structure to ensure the stability of the radius during the marking process;
[0028] Hold the marking rod 5 and rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise at a constant speed with the linear axis 4 as the axis; during this process, the slider 3 slides axially along the linear axis 4, and at the same time fluctuates up and down with the curvature of the curved surface of the perforated arc plate 1, driving the marking stone pencil 10 to always adhere to the surface of the perforated arc plate 1, and draw a complete circular marking line with the center hole as the center of the circle; after completing the marking, loosen the screw 9 of the expansion base 2 in the opposite direction to release the expansion state of the expansion base 2, and then the entire tool can be removed from the perforated arc plate 1; the marking stone pencil 10 can be replaced at any time, and the various parts of the tool are easy to carry and reuse after being disassembled.

After use, the screw 9 can be loosened to remove the marking tool. The marking stone pencil 10 is positioned by centering the hole at the beginning of the center drill of the hole opener. It can slide up and down along the linear axis 4 and mark in the circumferential direction to draw a projected circle on the surface of the arc plate. The ruler rod 6 can adjust the marking radius. The marking stone pencil 10 can be easily replaced, thereby realizing the centering of the hole opening by the center drill of the hole opener. By this centering, concentric circles of the top projection can be drawn on the curved surface of the arc plate, and the radius of the circle can be adjusted to meet the marking needs of pipes with different diameters.
