[0005] Furthermore, a storage area is planned within the headquarters.

[0006] Furthermore, the structure of the first upper arc locking block and the second upper arc locking block is the same.

[0007] Furthermore, a handle is provided on both sides of the head of the screw rod to facilitate the rotation of the screw rod by a user holding the handle.

[0008] The following beneficial effects are achieved using the aforementioned technical solution: In the present utility model, fine adjustment of the gas line in the radial and axial directions is made possible by screw rods provided in several positions, thus effectively ensuring the accuracy of the alignment of two line connections; the bottom circular arc locking block, the first upper circular arc locking block and the second upper circular arc locking block are quickly opened and closed by a rotary joint, which significantly increases the efficiency of assembly and clamping; a seat and a positioning body are connected to a bearing by a rotating shaft, so that the line can rotate freely within a horizontal plane, thus further improving the adaptability and flexibility of the device. Explanation of the illustrations Fig. shows a stereostructure diagram of a gas pipeline positioning device of the present utility model; Fig. shows a side structure diagram of a gas pipeline positioning device of the present utility model;

[0009] In the illustrations: (1) Seat; (2) Bottom arc locking block; (3) First top arc locking block; (4) Second top arc locking block; (5) Swivel joint part; (6) Screw rod; (7) Handle; (8) Swivel shaft; (9) Bearing; (10) Opening. Designs

[0010] The technical solution in the embodiments of this utility model is clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the illustrations in those embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this utility model and not the entirety of them. All other embodiments that a person skilled in the art could have obtained without inventive effort based on the embodiments specified in this utility model fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0011] As in Fig. and Fig.As shown, a gas line positioning device comprises a seat (1), a bottom arc locking block (2), a first top arc locking block (3), a second top arc locking block (4), a swivel joint (5), a screw rod (6), a handle (7), a rotating shaft (8), a bearing (9) and an opening (10). One end of the first top arc locking block (3) and the second top arc locking block (4) is rotatably connected by the rotating shaft (8) to the same end of the bottom arc locking block (2), and another end contacts another end of the bottom arc locking block (2), thereby jointly enclosing an annular positioning body for clamping and securing the gas line.A threaded rod (6) is provided at the head of the first upper arc locking block (3) or the second upper arc locking block (4), penetrating the locking blocks and extending into an inner part of the positioning body. A threaded rod (6) of the same type is also provided at both ends of the lower arc locking block (2), penetrating the lower arc locking block (2) and extending into the inner part of the positioning body. The lower arc locking block (2) is connected at its bottom by the pivot shaft (8) to a seat (1) into which the bearing (9) is inserted, so that the entire positioning body can be rotated horizontally around the seat (1), allowing the position of the line to be adjusted at multiple angles.

[0012] Furthermore, a rotating connecting element (5) is rotatably provided on an edge of both ends of the bottom circular arc locking block (2). The first upper circular arc locking block (3) and the second upper circular arc locking block (4) are provided with an opening (10) at corresponding locations. When the upper locking blocks are closed, the rotating connecting element (5) can be rotated upwards and engaged in the opening (10), thus enabling quick closure of the upper and bottom locking blocks and preventing disengagement during the adjustment process. The structure of the first upper circular arc locking block (3) and the second upper circular arc locking block (4) is identical. A handle (7) is provided on both sides of the head of the screw rod (6). The user can hold the handle (7), easily rotate the screw rod, and finely adjust the position of the line.

[0013] In actual use, the seat (1) is attached to a workbench or other suitable location and held securely. The user manually opens the first upper arc locking block (3) and the second upper arc locking block (4), places two gas lines to be connected within their respective positioning body areas, each consisting of the bottom arc locking block (2) and the upper locking blocks. The upper locking blocks are then closed, and the swivel joint (5) is rotated upwards and engaged in the opening (10) to engage the mechanical closure. The line is temporarily secured within an annular space.The user can hold the handle (7) and rotate the respective screw rods (6) so that their heads rest tightly against an outer wall of the pipe. Three adjustment points allow for fine-tuning of the pipe's position, ensuring that the connections of the two pipes are perfectly aligned. Since a bearing (9) is located within the seat (1) during the adjustment process, the user can easily slide the pipe or positioning body so that it is rotated within a horizontal plane by the rotating shaft (8), further aiding in the installation. Once the pipe's position is precisely adjusted, subsequent connection and fastening operations can be carried out. This utility model has a simple structure, is easy to adjust, effectively increases the accuracy and operational efficiency of gas pipe installation, and reduces the operator's workload.
