Finally, the lug 45 will abut against the end of the No. 2 pipe away from the No. 1 pipe, and the opposite ends of the No. 1 and No. 2 pipes are in a tightly fitted state.

[0044] The vertical plate 43 is driven by the second linear motor 42 to move toward the pressure ring 44, so that the fine-tuning structure 46 located below enters the interior of the pipe. The fine-tuning structure 46 located above moves above the pipe, and the two 56 are moved to the welding area. The upper and lower sets of electric heating plates 49 are turned on to heat the pipe to increase the temperature of the weld of the pipe.

[0045] When the temperature rises, the five-axis robotic arm moves the laser welding gun 2 to the contact end face of pipe No. 1 and pipe No. 2 of the pipeline, so that the laser welding gun 2 and the pipeline are in a vertical state, and the laser welding gun 2 passes through the welding channel 410 to perform contact welding with the pipeline. While welding, the driving motor drives the three-jaw chuck 11 to rotate, thereby driving the pipeline to rotate, and performing 360-degree comprehensive welding around the pipeline.

[0046] It should be understood that these embodiments are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that after reading the technical content of the present invention, those skilled in the art may make various changes, modifications and / or variations to the present invention, and all such equivalent forms also fall within the scope of protection defined by the appended claims of this application.
