Two electric push rods are arranged in parallel, and a pad of the same length as the vertical plate is welded between the front walls of the two electric push rods. The two ends of the pad surface are respectively supported and fixed to the circular tube by welding diagonal braces. The arc-shaped bracket has an arc-shaped surface matching the diameter of the pressure steel pipe.

[0004] While existing technologies can overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, other problems still exist in their operation: the weld seam needs to be heated during the welding process of pressure steel pipes. In this process, the pressure steel pipes need to be installed inside the auxiliary support for heating. The weld seam is generally heated by a heating plate with an arc structure. However, pressure steel pipes have different sizes, and the curvature of the existing arc heating plate is not easy to adjust. Utility Model Content

[0025] 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.
[0026] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6This utility model provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary support for circumferential welding of pressure steel pipes, comprising a support 1, with equidistantly distributed pads 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the support 1, and symmetrically distributed guide rails 3 fixedly connected to the top of the pads 2; symmetrically distributed guide rods 4 fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the support 1, and a heating structure installed on the inner side of each guide rod 4, the heating structure including a mounting block 7 located inside the guide rod 4, and two symmetrically distributed heating plates 8 rotatably connected inside the mounting block 7, the heating plates 8 forming an adjustable curvature arc structure by hinges at both ends, and the arc structure located outside the pressure steel pipe; a support structure for supporting the pressure steel pipe is installed on the top of the guide rails 3; an adjusting block 5 is slidably connected to the outer side of the guide rod 4, and two connecting rods 6 are rotatably connected to the side of the adjusting block 5 away from the guide rod 4, the connecting rods 6 being away from the adjusting block 5... One end is rotatably connected to the mounting block 7, and the two connecting rods 6 maintain parallel movement; the side of the heating plate 8 away from the pressure steel pipe is fixedly connected to symmetrically distributed mounting seats 9, and the pneumatic rod 10 located inside the mounting block 7 is fixed inside it; the center of the adjusting block 5 is provided with a threaded hole, and the adjusting block 5 is threadedly connected to a lead screw 11, and the two ends of the lead screw 11 are rotatably connected to the top ends of the bracket 1; the top of the adjusting block 5 is fixedly connected to two symmetrically distributed studs 12, and a clamping plate 13 is slidably connected between the two studs 12, and a nut 14 is threadedly connected to the outside of the studs 12, and when the nut 14 is tightened, it presses the top of the clamping plate 13; a pull rope 15 is clamped between the bottom of the clamping plate 13 and the top of the adjusting block 5, and a pull ring 16 is installed at the end of the pull rope 15 away from the adjusting block 5, and the pull ring 16 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outside of the mounting block 7.
[0027] When welding pressure steel pipes, the pressure steel pipes are first fixedly installed inside the support 1 by the support structure to make them stable. At this time, the pressure steel pipes are placed between the arc-shaped structures formed by the heating plates 8 so as to accurately heat the welding parts of the pressure steel pipes, thereby reducing welding stress, alleviating temperature gradient changes in the welding area, effectively reducing thermal stress, and preventing cracks from appearing in the weld joint.
[0028] For pressure steel pipes of different sizes, the curvature of the arc structure can be adjusted by controlling the deformation of the heating plate 8, so that it can better fit the outer surface of the pressure steel pipe. Since the heating plates 8 are connected end to end to form a whole, the angle change between them is controlled by the pneumatic rod 10. When the pneumatic rod 10 extends or retracts, it will drive the fixedly connected mounting base 9 to move away from or towards each other, so that the two adjacent heating plates 8 rotate around their hinge point, thereby adjusting the curvature of the arc structure. All pneumatic rods 10 are uniformly controlled by the same pneumatic control module to ensure that the movement length of each pneumatic rod 10 is consistent, so as to achieve precise adjustment of the overall curvature of the arc structure and improve the uniformity and efficiency of welding heating.
[0029] In order to ensure that the welding position of the pressure steel pipe inside the bracket 1 is accurately aligned with the heating plate 8, the adjusting block 5 can be driven to slide along the outside of the guide rod 4 by rotating the lead screw 11. The movement of the adjusting block 5 will drive the connecting rod 6, the mounting block 7 and the heating plate 8 inside the mounting block 7 to move along the outer surface of the pressure steel pipe, thereby ensuring that the heating plate 8 is accurately aligned with the welding position and improving the welding quality.
[0030] Since the adjusting block 5 and the mounting block 7 are connected by parallel connecting rods 6, the adjusting block 5, connecting rods 6 and mounting block 7 together form a parallelogram structure. When the mounting block 7 moves up and down, it always remains parallel to the adjusting block 5, thereby ensuring that the movement trajectory of the heating plate 8 is stable and does not tilt or deviate.
[0031] In addition, the position of the mounting block 7 can be further adjusted by adjusting the length of the pull rope 15 between the adjusting block 5 and the mounting block 7, thereby precisely adjusting the specific position of the heating plate 8 on the outside of the pressure steel pipe. One end of the pull rope 15 is connected to the mounting block 7 through the pull ring 16, while the other end passes through the adjusting block 5 and is fixed by the clamping plate 13. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the mounting block 7, the pull rope 15 can be pulled, and then the clamping plate 13 can be tightened with the nut 14 to ensure the fixed state of the pull rope 15 and prevent the mounting block 7 from moving accidentally, thus achieving precise fixation of the position of the heating plate 8.
[0032] Example 2: Based on Example 1, a support structure is also disclosed, the specific structure of which is as follows: The support structure includes a motion seat 17 installed on the top of the guide rail 3, and a support wheel 18 is rotatably connected to the four corners of the top of the motion seat 17, and a pulley 19 is rotatably connected to the four corners of the bottom of the motion seat 17, and the pulley 19 forms a rolling engagement with the guide rail 3.
[0033] After the pressure steel pipe is installed inside the bracket 1, it will be located at the top of the support structure and supported at the bottom by the support wheel 18. Since the support wheel 18 can rotate freely, the pressure steel pipe can rotate on the support wheel 18 during the welding or adjustment process, so that different welding areas can smoothly enter the working range of the heating plate 8, improving the convenience and uniformity of welding. At the same time, the pulley 19 at the bottom of the motion seat 17 can roll along the guide rail 3, so that the entire support structure can move in the horizontal direction, thereby adjusting the support position of the pressure steel pipe as needed.
[0034] The support structure not only facilitates the rotation and adjustment of the pressure steel pipe inside the bracket 1, but also allows the pressure steel pipe to move horizontally along the bracket 1. After the welding operation is completed, it can be more convenient to carry out subsequent handling or other process treatments, which greatly improves the efficiency and safety of operation.

For example, it can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
