[0039] Working principle: The first coordination and adjustment device 10 serves as the core base, and the overall horizontal movement is achieved through the chassis translation base 11; the hand-cranked lifting support leg 24 ( Figure 3The height of the device can be manually adjusted. It works with the second limiting plate 27 to fix the pipe height reference. Two sets of first movable plates 17 are slidably installed inside the slide rail 16. Each plate has ten sets of second fixed pulleys 18 embedded in it, used for horizontal placement of the pipe and reducing friction. The first fixing rod 13 fixes the first limiting plate 14. Two sets of first fixed pulleys 15 at its bottom provide initial limitation on the outer wall of the pipe to prevent lateral sliding. The second coordinating adjustment device 19, independent of the first device, installs a third fixed pulley 21 through the first limiting shaft base 20 to provide secondary limitation on the pipe. The bottom first translation base 25 is driven by the first servo motor 26 to realize the installation... The device is precisely positioned between two sets of second limiting plates 27. The trolley handle 22 engages with four sets of wheels 23, facilitating manual pushing of the device to the target position. An annular top plate 28 secures the limiting support frame 29, whose top is driven by a first tracked moving module 30 to move the placement platform 36 horizontally. A second tracked moving module 31 further drives the limiting platform 32 to move on the placement platform, achieving planar adjustment of the pipeline along the XY axes. An auxiliary support frame 37 enhances the stability of the limiting support frame 29. A second servo motor 35 is mounted on the top of the limiting platform 32, driving a rotating shaft 34 via a coupling between the two sets of third limiting plates 37. The three-axis rotation directly adjusts the pipe orientation (Z-axis rotation). The annular base 40 has an embedded toothed ring 39 that meshes with the gear driven by the third servo motor 38, causing the entire limiting support frame 29 to rotate around the center, achieving macroscopic orientation adjustment of the pipe. The fourth servo motor 41 drives the first tracked moving module 30, providing power for the movement of the placement platform. The first, second, and third servo motors control translation, rotation, and other actions respectively, achieving precise motion control. The sealing baffle 12 can be opened for easy inspection and maintenance of the internal parts of the first coordinating adjustment device 10. The device is moved by the chassis translation base 11 and the hand-cranked lifting support leg 24. The pipe is moved to the target position and its height is adjusted. The pipe is placed on the second fixed pulley 18 and the third fixed pulley 21 of the first movable plate 17. The first fixed pulley 15 and the third fixed pulley 21 provide initial positioning. The second coordination and adjustment device 19 adjusts the lateral position of the pipe through the first servo motor 26. The first / second tracked moving modules 30 / 31 fine-tune the planar position of the pipe. The second servo motor 35 drives the rotating shaft 34 to rotate the pipe. The third servo motor 38 drives the gear ring 39 to rotate the limiting support frame 29, realizing multi-angle adjustment. The sealing baffle 12 and the auxiliary support frame 37 respectively ensure the convenience of maintenance and the structural stability.
