A gear ring is fixedly connected to the outer side of the support cylinder. A motor is fixedly mounted at the left end of the support plate, and the output end of the motor passes through the support plate and is rotatably connected to it. A clamping plate is slidably connected inside the support cylinder, and a screw is threadedly connected inside the support cylinder. The screw and the clamping plate are connected via bearings. The motor drives the gear to rotate the gear ring, which in turn causes the support cylinder to rotate the pipe. This allows for the detection of any position on the pipe weld. Furthermore, the motor drives the bidirectional screw to rotate and the sliding plate to perform threaded motion, enabling the device to support pipes of different lengths.

[0008] Preferably, a gear is fixedly connected to the right end of the motor's output terminal, and the gear meshes with a gear ring. By setting the gear, the gear ring is driven to rotate.

[0020] 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.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-3 A fixture for inspecting circumferential welds in pipelines includes a base 1. A motor 2 is fixedly mounted on the left end of the base 1. The rotating shaft of the motor 2 passes through the base 1 and is rotatably connected to the base 1. A bidirectional screw 3 is fixedly connected to the right end of the rotating shaft of the motor 2. A sliding plate 4 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the bidirectional screw 3. The sliding plate 4 is slidably connected to the base 1. A support plate 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding plate 4. A rotating mechanism 6 is provided on the support plate 5. A slider 7 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support plate 5. The slider 7 is slidably connected to the base 1. By setting the slider 7, the support plate 5 is provided with auxiliary support. A grinding mechanism 8 is provided on the base 1.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-3The rotating mechanism 6 includes a support cylinder 61. The support cylinder 61 is mounted inside the support plate 5 via bearings. A gear ring 62 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the support cylinder 61. A motor 63 is fixedly mounted on the left end of the support plate 5. A gear 64 is fixedly connected to the right end of the output end of the motor 63. The gear 64 meshes with the gear ring 62, driving the gear ring 62 to rotate. The output end of the motor 63 passes through the support plate 5 and is rotatably connected to it. A clamping plate 65 is slidably connected inside the support cylinder 61. The inside of the support cylinder 61 is connected via screws... The device is connected by a screw 66, which is connected to a clamping plate 65 via a bearing. A guide rod 67 is fixedly connected to the surface of the clamping plate 65, and the guide rod 67 is slidably connected to the support cylinder 61. By setting the guide rod 67, the movement of the clamping plate 65 is guided. The motor 63 drives the gear 64 to rotate the gear ring 62, which in turn causes the support cylinder 61 to rotate the pipe. This allows for the detection of any position of the pipe weld. Furthermore, the motor 2 drives the bidirectional screw 3 to rotate and the slide plate 4 to perform threaded movement, thus enabling the device to support pipes of different lengths.

[0023] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 The grinding mechanism 8 includes a square tube 81. The upper end of the base 1 is fixedly connected to the square tube 81. A square rod 82 is slidably connected inside the square tube 81. A sliding rod 83 is fixedly connected to the surface of the square rod 82. The sliding rod 83 and the square tube 81 are slidably connected. A spring 84 is provided inside the square tube 81. One end of the spring 84 is fixedly connected to the square tube 81, and the other end of the spring 84 is fixedly connected to the square rod 82. By setting the spring 84, the square rod 82 can be easily reset. A grinding head 85 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the square rod 82. The spring 84 acts on the square rod 82, so that the grinding head 85 can keep in contact with the pipe. During the contact with the pipe, the weld can be ground and cleaned to avoid the weld slag at the weld affecting the detection effect.

[0024] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: In use, according to the pipe length adjustment device, the motor 2 is started, and the motor 2 drives the bidirectional screw 3 to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional screw 3 and the sliding plate 4 make a threaded movement, which in turn causes the sliding plate 4 to drive the support plate 5 to move, causing the position of the support plate 5 on the base 1 to change, which in turn causes the position of the support cylinder 61 to change. The device can support pipes of different lengths. Then, the pipe is passed through the support cylinder 61, and the screw 66 is manually rotated. The rotation of the screw 66 and the support cylinder 61 make a threaded movement, which in turn causes the clamping plate 65 to move. The clamping plate 65 moves and contacts the pipe, clamping the pipe. The pipe is then installed. During the process, the grinding head 85 comes into contact with the square rod 82, causing it to be pressed downwards. This, in turn, causes the square rod 82 to press downwards against the spring 84, bringing the grinding head 85 into contact with the pipe surface. The motor 63 is then activated, driving the gear 64 to rotate the gear ring 62. This, in turn, causes the support cylinder 61 to rotate the pipe. This allows for inspection of any position on the pipe weld. The pipe rotates and slides relative to the grinding head 85. The spring 84 acts on the square rod 82, ensuring that the grinding head 85 remains in contact with the pipe. During this contact, the weld can be ground and cleaned, preventing weld slag from affecting the inspection results.

[0025] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
