[0002] During shipbuilding, there are various pipes inside the ship used to connect mechanical equipment and to transport working fluids such as water, oil, and gas. The connection between ship pipes is generally achieved by welding or using connectors. However, during the docking and installation of ship pipes, due to the special nature of the pipes' external structure, docking devices are often required to fix them for easy docking and installation. However, traditional pipe docking mainly relies on manual clamping to fix the pipes before docking, which has problems with instability and poor docking accuracy, thus affecting the efficiency of pipe docking.

By screwing the first threaded rod 306 downward, the upper pressure block 304 is pushed down, pressing the upper pressure block 304 against the upper end of the pipes to compress and fix the pipes. After the two pipes are fixed, the first bidirectional screw 204 is rotated to move the two pipe fixing mechanisms 3, which are respectively helically connected to the positive and negative threads of the first bidirectional screw 204, in the same direction, so that the connecting ends of the pipes are connected smoothly and accurately, thereby greatly improving the pipe connection efficiency and facilitating the rapid connection and installation of pipes.
