[0038] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a protective pipe welding device, including a movable protective cover and movable brackets located on both sides of the movable protective cover; the movable protective cover includes a movable frame 1 and a canopy 2, and the bottom of the movable frame 1 is provided with first traveling wheels 11; a movable welding assembly 3 is installed inside the canopy 2; the two pipes 4 to be welded are placed on the two movable brackets respectively, and their welding ends are extended into the movable protective cover so that the two welding ends are in a weldable position, and welding is performed using the movable welding assembly 3.

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-5 As shown, the movable bracket includes a support frame 5, with a second traveling wheel 51 arranged at the bottom of the support frame 5, and a drive assembly 6 arranged on the upper surface of the support frame 5. The output end of the drive assembly 6 is connected to a rotating shaft 7, and the rotating shaft 7 is fixedly connected to an adjustable support arm 8 arranged symmetrically. The adjustable support arm 8 is used to extend into the pipe 4 and abut against the inner wall of the pipe 4.

[0041] Specifically, the support frame 5 includes two parallel support beams 52. A first platform 53, a second platform 54, and a third platform 55 are fixedly connected between the two support beams 52. Auxiliary rotating components 9 are respectively arranged on the first platform 53 and the second platform 54; a drive component 6 is arranged on the third platform 55. The drive component 6 is a motor. A support platform 551 is arranged on the third platform 55 for placing the motor. The output end of the motor is connected to a rotating shaft 7. An adjustable support arm 8 is fixed to the rotating shaft 7. Specifically, the adjustable support arm 8 includes a first threaded rod 81, an adjusting sleeve 83, and a second threaded rod 82. The first threaded rod 81 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 7. The two ends of the adjusting sleeve 83 are threadedly connected to the first threaded rod 81 and the second threaded rod 82, respectively. Rotating the adjusting sleeve 83 allows the first threaded rod 81 and the second threaded rod 82 to move towards or away from each other. An arc-shaped support plate 84 is fixedly connected to the end of the second threaded rod 82. The arc-shaped support plate 84 abuts against the inner wall of the pipe 4. Two adjustable support arms 8 form a group, meaning the adjustable support arms 8 are arranged in pairs.

[0042] When rotating the pipe, first insert the adjustable support arm 8 into the pipe 4, rotate the adjusting sleeve 83 so that the arc-shaped support plate 84 at the end of the second threaded rod 82 abuts against the inner wall of the pipe 4, and then start the motor. At this time, each adjustable support arm 8 rotates, thereby driving the pipe 4 to rotate.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first platform 53, the second platform 54, and the third platform 55 are all flat plate structures, which are fixed to the two support beams 52 by welding. The first platform 53 is provided with equal-spaced first through holes 531, and the second platform 54 is provided with equal-spaced second through holes 541, which are used to connect the auxiliary rotating assembly 9.

[0044] The auxiliary rotation components 9 are arranged in pairs. Each set of auxiliary rotation components 9 can be selectively installed at a preset position on the first platform 53 or the second platform 54. Each set of auxiliary rotation components 9 can be selectively installed in the first through hole 531 of the first platform 53 or the second through hole 541 of the second platform 54.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the auxiliary rotation assembly 9 includes a support column 91 with an arc-shaped upper surface. Two rotating rollers 92 are rotatably connected to the two ends of the upper surface, and the rollers 92 abut against the outer wall of the pipe 4. A connecting plate 93 is also provided at the bottom of the support column 91, with connecting holes 94 for connecting to the first platform 53 or the second platform 54. While the driving assembly 6 rotates the pipe 4, the rotating rollers 92 in the auxiliary rotation assembly 9 assist in the rotation of the pipe 4, ensuring smooth rotation of the pipe during welding.

[0046] In this embodiment, an L-shaped fixing plate 56 is also fixedly connected to the outer side of the support beam 52. The horizontal section of the fixing plate 56 has a third through hole 57 for fixing to the ground, enhancing the stability of the device and preventing the device from shifting due to vibration during welding.

[0047] In the movable protective cover of this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the movable frame 1 includes a crossbeam 12 and a column 13, as well as diagonal bracing 14, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the movable frame.

[0048] A slide rail 21 is also provided inside the ceiling 2 for sliding connection of the movable welding assembly 3. The movable welding assembly 3 uses an automatic submerged arc welding machine, and its welding end is connected to an electric hoist, allowing it to move along the slide rail 21 to complete the welding. In this embodiment, the slide rail is composed of two plates with gaps. In practical applications, I-beams can also be used as the slide rail, and the electric hoist is slidably connected to the slide rail using an appropriate connection method. In practical applications, the slide rail can also be omitted, and the welding end of the automatic submerged arc welding machine can be fixed at the center of the ceiling, with this position being the optimal position for pipe welding. Since those skilled in the art can adapt the automatic submerged arc welding machine to the actual situation, further details are omitted here.

[0049] In this embodiment, the ceiling 2 can also be equipped with spray pipes and atomizing nozzles. The spray pipes are connected to a water pipe or water tank to spray coolant or water mist, cooling and removing dust from the welding area, thus protecting the welding quality and the health of the operators. The spray pipes are attached to the ceiling by clips or binding, and corresponding clips or connecting rings are provided on the ceiling 2 for connection.

[0050] The protective pipe welding device provided in this embodiment operates on the following principle: Two pipes 4 to be welded are placed on two movable brackets, with the welding ends of the pipes 4 extending into the movable protective cover. An adjustable support arm 8 is inserted into the pipe 4. By rotating the adjusting sleeve 83, the arc-shaped support plate 84 at the end of the second threaded rod 82 abuts against the inner wall of the pipe 4, thereby fixing the pipe 4. Activating the drive assembly 6 starts the motor, which drives the adjustable support arm 8 to rotate via the rotating shaft 7, thus rotating the pipe 4 and achieving rotary welding. During pipe rotation, an auxiliary rotation assembly 9 is installed on the first platform 53 or the second platform 54, with its rotating roller 92 abutting against the outer wall of the pipe 4 to assist in pipe rotation and reduce friction during rotation.

[0051] The mobile welding assembly 3 is installed on the slide rail 21 inside the canopy 2. Its welding end is connected to an electric hoist, and it can move along the slide rail 21 to complete the pipe welding.

[0052] The protective pipe welding device provided in this embodiment features an adjustable support arm 8 that extends into the pipe and abuts against the inner wall of the pipe via an arc-shaped support plate 84. Compared to traditional outer roller support, this inner support method provides a more secure fixation of the pipe, preventing slippage and ensuring the continuity and stability of pipe rotation. The length of the adjustable support arm 8 can be flexibly adjusted by rotating the adjusting sleeve 83 to accommodate pipes of different diameters, improving the device's versatility. The rotating roller 92 of the auxiliary rotating assembly 9 abuts against the outer wall of the pipe, assisting in pipe rotation, reducing friction, further improving the smoothness of pipe rotation, and ensuring uniform welding.

[0053] By adjusting the positions of the adjustable support arm 8 and the auxiliary rotating component 9, the device can adapt to pipes of different diameters and lengths, and has strong versatility.

[0054] The L-shaped fixing plate 56 on the outside of the support beam 52 can be fixed to the ground through the third through hole 57, which further enhances the stability of the device and prevents the device from shifting due to vibration during the welding process.

[0055] The protective pipe welding device provided in this embodiment solves the slippage problem common in traditional roller-supported pipe systems by employing an internal support design and auxiliary rotating components, thereby improving the stability of pipe rotation and the uniformity of welding. Simultaneously, the design of the movable welding components, spray cooling system, and protective cover further enhances welding efficiency, operational safety, and applicability. This device is suitable for the complex scenarios of pipe welding in thermal power plants, effectively improving welding quality and construction efficiency.

[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
