[0026] 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.

[0027] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a natural gas pipeline ultraviolet curing lining repair device, including two fixed seats 100, a plurality of ultraviolet lamps 101, a plurality of support plates 103 and connectors 102 are arranged between the two fixed seats 100, each fixed seat 100 is provided with a threaded groove 200, and a support structure is connected in each of the two threaded grooves 200. The support structure is used to support the pipeline lining and to support the ultraviolet lamps 101. Each fixed seat 100 is rotatably fitted with a limiting ring 300, and each limiting ring 300 is connected with a linkage structure. The linkage structure is used to adjust the support range of the support structure. Each support structure is connected with a disassembly and assembly structure, which is used to facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the support components of the support structure.

[0028] Furthermore, the support structure includes a threaded ring 201, which is threadedly fitted into a threaded groove 200. Several movable legs 202 are rotatably mounted on the threaded ring 201. Insert rods 203 are inserted into the movable legs 202. A U-shaped frame 204 is installed at one end of the insert rod 203. Rollers 205 are rotatably mounted on the U-shaped frame 204. The several movable legs 202 and rollers 205 can support the ultraviolet lamp tube 101 at the center of the pipe lining.

[0029] Furthermore, the linkage structure includes several connecting seats 301, which are mounted on the limiting ring 300. A connecting rod 302 is rotatably mounted on the connecting seat 301 and is rotatably mounted on one side of the movable leg 202. Rotating the threaded ring 201 allows it to move through the threaded engagement with the threaded groove 200, so that the threaded ring 201 can drive the movable legs 202 around it to move. When the movable leg 202 moves, it will be affected by the connection of the connecting rod 302 and will flip. During the process, the movable leg 202 can drive the connecting seat 301 to move in a circular motion through the connecting rod 302, thereby driving the limiting ring 300 to rotate in the limiting groove 303. When the angle of the limiting ring 300 is fixed, the threaded ring 201 will also be affected and will not be able to rotate.

[0030] Furthermore, a limiting groove 303 is provided on the fixed base 100, and the limiting ring 300 is rotatably installed in the limiting groove 303. When the limiting ring 300 rotates, it can rotate within the limiting groove 303. The setting of the limiting groove 303 can limit the rotation position of the limiting ring 300 and prevent it from shifting or loosening.

[0031] Furthermore, several L-shaped threaded plates 304 are installed on the limiting ring 300. The internal threads of the L-shaped threaded plates 304 are fitted with pressing screws 305. One end of the pressing screws 305 is pressed against the surface of the fixed seat 100. Rotating the pressing screws 305 allows them to move through the threaded engagement with the L-shaped threaded plates 304, so that the pressing screws 305 can press against the surface of the fixed seat 100, thereby reinforcing the position of the limiting ring 300.

[0032] Example 2: Figure 2-5 To facilitate quick replacement of worn rollers 205, a disassembly and assembly structure is provided. This structure includes a socket 400 located inside the movable leg 202. A rod 203 is inserted into the socket 400. A first magnet 401 is installed on the inner wall of the socket 400, and a second magnet 402 is installed at one end of the rod 203. The first and second magnets 401 are magnetically connected. Two connecting plates 403 are symmetrically installed on one side of the U-shaped frame 204. A fixed shaft 404 is installed between the two connecting plates 403, and a retaining plate 405 is rotatably mounted on the fixed shaft 404. One of the movable legs 202... A slot 406 is provided on the side, and one end of the card plate 405 is engaged in the slot 406. One end of the torsion spring 407 is installed on the fixed shaft 404, and the other end of the torsion spring 407 is installed on the inner wall of the card plate 405. By pressing the card plates 405 on both sides, they can rotate on the fixed shaft 404 and compress the torsion spring 407. At the same time, one end of the card plate 405 is lifted up and disengaged from the slot 406. At this time, pulling the U-shaped frame 204 can drive the magnetic block 202 on the insertion rod 203 to disengage from the magnetic block 1 401, thereby allowing the U-shaped frame 204 and the roller 205 to be removed from the movable leg 202. The remaining features are the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0033] The working principle is as follows: During use, the corresponding pressing screw 305 is rotated. As the pressing screw 305 rotates, it moves through the threaded engagement with the L-shaped threaded plate 304, causing it to disengage from the surface of the fixed seat 100. This releases the restriction on the limiting ring 300. Then, the threaded ring 201 is rotated, moving through the threaded engagement with the threaded groove 200. This causes the threaded ring 201 to move the surrounding movable legs 202. As the movable legs 202 move, they are affected by the connecting rod 302 and rotate, thus causing all surrounding movable legs 202 to rotate simultaneously. The movable leg 202 can drive the connecting seat 301 to rotate circumferentially via the connecting rod 302, thereby causing the limiting ring 300 to rotate within the limiting groove 303. By adjusting the rotation direction of the threaded ring 201, the surrounding rollers 205 can be controlled to contract inward or expand outward, so that they can support the lining of pipes of different sizes. After the lining is cured by using the ultraviolet lamp 101, and after adjustment, the reverse rotation of the pressing screw 305 makes it press against the surface of the fixed seat 100 again, which can reinforce the limiting ring 300. Combined with the self-locking of the threads of the threaded ring 201 and the threaded groove 200, its stability can be improved.

[0034] By pressing the two side plates 405, it can rotate on the fixed shaft 404 and compress the torsion spring 407. At the same time, one end of the plate 405 is lifted and disengaged from the slot 406. At this time, pulling the U-shaped frame 204 can cause the second magnetic block 402 on the insertion rod 203 to disengage from the first magnetic block 401, thereby removing the U-shaped frame 204 and the roller 205 from the movable leg 202 for quick replacement of the worn roller 205. During installation, the insertion rod 203 is reinserted into the insertion hole 400, causing the second magnetic block 402 to be attracted to the first magnetic block 401 for positioning. Then, the two side plates 405 are released. At this time, the retracted torsion spring 407 will cause the plate 405 to flip and reset, so that the plate 405 is re-engaged in the corresponding slot 406, thus completing the installation operation.

[0035] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
