When in use, the roller support is moved into the pipeline, the inner wall of the pipeline is supported by the plurality of hydraulic jacks, and the shaping operation is performed on the pipeline port, so that the roundness meets the welding requirements. However, the common inner butt device has the following problems:

[0004] Firstly, since the center cylinder and the roller support are fixedly connected, the position of the hydraulic jack in the circumferential direction cannot be adjusted, that is, the position of the extrusion deformation of the pipeline port cannot be opened, which finally affects the adjustment effect of the port roundness.

[0006] Thirdly, the position of the center cylinder relative to the roller support is fixed. When adjusting the roundness of the pipe port, since the center cylinder and the center of the pipeline need to be concentrically arranged, the entire device can only adjust the roundness of the pipeline port of one pipe diameter, and the versatility of the device is poor.

[0031] The utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a pipe aligning device comprises a frame 1, the central axes of the wheels 10 on both sides of the bottom of the frame 1 are arranged obliquely, so that the wheels 10 on both sides support the frame 1 in a triangular support shape, improving the stability of the support of the frame. A front vertical rod 5 and a rear vertical rod 5 are arranged at the center of the frame 1, and a jacking element 6 is arranged between the two vertical rods 5. The jacking element 6 comprises two jack picks 62, both of which are of a hydraulic jack pick structure. An oil tank is arranged on the frame 1 to provide hydraulic oil for the jack picks 62. The two jack picks 62 are connected by a connection rod 61, which is preferably of a pipe structure. The connection rod 61 and the two jack picks 62 are coaxially arranged, the middle part of the connection rod 61 is rotatably installed at the top of the two vertical rods 5 by a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is horizontal and in the same direction as the moving direction of the frame 1, one end of the rotating shaft is provided with a handwheel 12, and the rotating shaft is rotated by the handwheel 12, thereby driving the jacking element 6 to rotate. In the utility model, the jacking element 6 can rotate 360°, so as to support and jacking the extrusion deformation of the pipe port, to separate the extrusion deformation, so as to make the roundness of the port meet the requirements, so as to ensure that the two pipes can be aligned and welded.

[0033] The frame 1 structure is shown in Figure 4 , the frame 1 is of a square frame structure, and several cross beams are arranged side by side in the square frame. An avoidance space 101 is left at the middle position of the frame 1 to avoid the jacking element 6, so as to realize the rotation of the jacking element 360° around the rotating shaft.

[0034] In this invention, two uprights 5 are respectively equipped with two lifting elements 4. The two lifting elements 4 are located above the frame 1 and are each mounted on the frame 1 via a bracket. The push rod of the lifting element 4 points vertically downward. The bottom end of each upright 5 is connected to the push rod of the lifting element 4 via a connecting piece 2, such as a connecting plate or a connecting block. The two lifting elements 4 operate synchronously, and the push rods extend and retract synchronously, driving the uprights 5 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height position of the pushing element 6 relative to the frame 1. This satisfies the adjustment of the roundness of the pipe ends of several pipes with different diameters, ensuring that the rotation center, i.e., the pivot position, of the pushing element 6 is the center of the pipe. This ensures that the pushing element 6 supports the pipe along the pipe diameter direction, ensuring that the roundness of the ends meets the requirements after adjustment, thereby improving the versatility of this invention.

[0035] In this invention, the frame 1 has two support frames 3 positioned one in front and one behind, with ladders 9 mounted on the support frames 3. Two uprights 5 are located between the two support frames 3. Each support frame 3 has a slide rail 11 positioned at its top, horizontally and perpendicular to the direction of movement of the frame, through which a footrest 7 is slidably mounted. The footrest 7 has the following structure: Figure 5 As shown, the structure is a rectangular frame with a handle 72 on one side for easy maneuvering of the footrest. Several crossbars are installed within the frame. To improve construction safety, iron plates or wire mesh (not shown) are laid on the footrest 7. The footrest 7 is slidably connected to a set of opposing frame rails 11. The frame rails have threaded holes 72, with corresponding set screws 8. The footrest 7 is pulled out to an appropriate length as needed, and then the set screws 8 are tightened to press against the rails 11, thus securing the footrest 7. This structure allows construction workers to climb onto the footrest 7 to easily observe the support of the upper inner wall of the large-diameter pipe by the jacking element, improving construction convenience.

[0036] In this utility model, each support frame 3 is symmetrically provided with two footrests 7, and the set screws 8 are arranged at the adjacent ends of the two footrests 7.

[0037] The working state of this utility model is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the frame is moved into the pipe, and the jacking element 6 is rotated so that one of the jacks 62 is facing the compression deformation position of the pipe. Hydraulic oil is input into the other jack, and the head of the other jack 62 extends out and abuts against one side of the inner wall of the pipe. Then, hydraulic oil is input into the first jack (the jack facing the compression deformation position of the pipe), and the head of the first jack extends out and supports the pipe wall, thereby opening up the compression deformation pipe wall and realizing the adjustment of the pipe opening roundness.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
