[0046] Working principle: During operation, the horizontal position of the welding gun body 2 is adjusted by the angle-changing translation structure, and the tilt angle of the welding gun body 2 is adjusted by the angle-changing translation structure, so that the welding gun body 2 is in a preset position, and the annular workpiece is fixed above the installation box 9 by the fixing assembly. The staff places the pipe to be welded between the annular workpiece and the pipe positioning column 6, and the staff inserts the end of the pipe into the positioning groove 7, and drives the pipe positioning column 6 and the pipe to move through the horizontal moving mechanism, so that the end of the pipe away from the pipe positioning column 6 abuts against the annular workpiece, and the pusher pushes the movable seat 3 toward the rotating sleeve 4, so that the movable seat 3 drives the welding gun body 2 to move synchronously, and changes the distance between the welding gun body 2 and the girth weld. When the distance between the welding gun body 2 and the girth weld When the distance reaches the preset value, welding is performed through the welding gun body 2, and the driving member drives the rotating sleeve 4 and the movable seat 3 to rotate synchronously, so that the welding gun body 2 rotates 360 degrees around the circumferential weld seam, and the welding is completed. The pipe positioning column 6 is driven to move by the horizontal moving mechanism, so that the pipe positioning column 6 is no longer sleeved on the end of the pipe, and the installation box 9 is driven to rotate by the first motor 8. The installation box 9 drives the annular workpiece to rotate through the fixed component, so that the next position of the annular workpiece that needs to be welded is moved to one side of the pipe positioning column 6. The staff then places the next pipe that needs to be welded between the pipe positioning column 6 and the annular workpiece, and the next welding can be performed. There is no need for two staff members to cooperate in welding. The circumferential weld can be automatically welded by the welding gun body 2, which improves work efficiency and welding accuracy.

[0047] The second motor 28 drives the second screw rod 24 to rotate, and the second screw rod 24 drives the movable frame 23 and the adjustment box 10 to move horizontally, and the movable frame 23 slides relative to the first guide column 25. The design of the first guide column 25 allows the movable frame 23 and the adjustment box 10 to move smoothly in the horizontal direction, and the adjustment box 10 drives the first prism 26 to slide relative to the first slide groove 27 through the rotating shaft 11. When the second screw rod 24 rotates, the second screw rod 24 drives the rotating shaft 11 and the second friction plate 22 to rotate through the first prism 26. Since the side of the slider 21 away from the rotating shaft 11 contacts the inner wall of the rectangular ring 20 at this time, the rectangular ring 20 and the movable block 14 are stationary, and the second friction plate 22 cannot drive the first friction plate 19 and the first screw rod 12 to rotate by friction. When the adjustment box 10 moves horizontally to the preset position, the second motor 28 drives the second screw rod 24 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the second screw rod 2 4 can drive the rotating shaft 11 and the second friction disk 22 to rotate in opposite directions through the first prism 26, and the second friction disk 22 drives the first friction disk 19 and the first screw 12 to rotate through the friction force, so that the movable block 14 drives the slider 21 to slide in the rectangular ring 20, and the movable block 14 drives the welding gun body 2 to move synchronously, changing the inclination angle of the welding gun body 2, and the fixed column 18 slides upward in the guide hole 17. At the same time, the second screw 24 drives the movable frame 23 and the adjustment box 10 to move a certain distance toward the movable seat 3. When the inclination angle of the welding gun body 2 is adjusted, the adjustment box 10 moves a certain distance toward the movable seat 3. Therefore, in order for the adjustment box 10 to move horizontally to the preset position, the adjustment box 10 needs to move a certain distance in the horizontal direction, and the certain distance the adjustment box 10 moves horizontally is equal to the certain distance the adjustment box 10 moves toward the movable seat 3 caused by the change in the inclination angle of the welding gun body 2.

[0048] The design of the slide plate 29, the second slide groove 30 and the first compression spring 31 is used to make the movable seat 3 elastically connected relative to the rotating sleeve 4, and the pressing ring 33 is driven by the first hydraulic telescopic rod 34 to move horizontally, so that the support column 32 slides on the inclined surface of the pressing ring 33, and the pressing ring 33 applies pressure to the support column 32, so that the movable seat 3 slides relative to the slide plate 29 and the rotating sleeve 4. The first compression spring 31 is in a compressed state, which can change the position of the movable seat 3 and the welding gun body 2, and then adjust the spacing between the welding gun body 2 and the circumferential weld. The second gear 37 is driven to rotate by the third motor 36, and the second gear 37 drives the rotating sleeve 4, the slide plate 29 and the movable seat 3 to rotate synchronously through the first gear 35. The end of the support column 32 away from the movable seat 3 slides on the inclined surface of the pressing ring 33, which can make the welding gun body 2 rotate around the circumferential weld.

[0049] The staff drives the support block 52 to move vertically relative to the rectangular hole 53 to adjust the initial height of the support block 52. After the height of the support block 52 is adjusted, the staff drives the nuts 56 located above and below the support block 52 to rotate so that the two adjacent nuts 56 clamp the support block 52, which can fix the support block 52 relative to the clamping plate 44. The staff sets the annular processing part on the outside of several clamping plates 44 and supports the bottom of the annular processing part through the support block 52. The fourth motor 50 drives the first bevel gear 49 to rotate. The first bevel gear 49 drives several third screw rods 45 to rotate synchronously through the second bevel gear 51. The third screw rod 45 drives the threaded sleeve 46 and the movable block 14 to move in the direction away from the installation box 9, and the guide sleeve 48 slides relative to the second guide post 47. Through the design of the second guide post 47 and the guide sleeve 48, the clamping plate 44 can be moved synchronously in the horizontal direction. As the clamping plate 44 continues to move, several clamping plates 44 finally press the inner wall of the annular processing part respectively, which can make the annular processing part relative to the clamping plate 44 is fixed to the installation box 9, and the movable column 38, the second prism 40 and the pipe positioning column 6 are driven by the second hydraulic telescopic rod 43 to move horizontally to adjust the initial spacing between the pipe positioning column 6 and the annular processing part. After the position of the pipe positioning column 6 is adjusted, the staff drives the pipe positioning column 6 and the second prism 40 to move in the direction away from the annular processing part, and the second compression spring 41 is in a compressed state to leave space for the pipe positioning column 6 and the annular processing part. The staff places the pipe to be welded between the pipe positioning column 6 and the annular processing part, and then the staff drives the pipe to move horizontally so that the end of the pipe positioning column 6 is inserted into the positioning groove 7, and then the staff releases the pipe positioning column 6, and the second compression spring 41 drives the second prism 40 and the pipe positioning column 6 to move so that the pipe positioning column 6 drives the end of the pipe to be tightly attached to the outer wall of the annular processing part, so that the pipe and the annular processing part are initially fixed, and the annular weld of the annular processing part and the pipe can be welded by the welding gun body 2.
