The limiting device 1 includes two horizontal bars 101, with two slide rails 102 fixedly connected between the two horizontal bars 101. Racks 103 are fixedly connected to both ends of the two horizontal bars 101. Two fitting grooves 104 are provided at the lower end of the horizontal bars 101.

A linkage device 2 is slidably connected to the two slide rails 102. An adjustment device 3 is rotatably connected to the middle of the fitting grooves 104. A sealing device 4 is fixedly connected to the right end of the crossbar 101 on the left side. The linkage device 2 includes a bracket 201. Both ends of the bracket 201 are fixedly connected to a stop block 202. A rotating rod 203 is rotatably connected to the middle of the stop block 202. A disc 204 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating rod 203. A gear 205 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 203. A hexagonal groove 206 is opened in the middle of the gear 205. A second cylindrical hole 207 is opened in the middle of the bracket 201. A second locking block 208 is fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the second cylindrical hole 207 on the upper surface of the bracket 201. A positioning device 5 is rotatably connected to the middle of the first cylindrical hole 105 and the second cylindrical hole 207. A corrugated tube 6 is sleeved in the middle of the positioning device 5.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1-9. The adjusting device 3 includes a base 301. A hollow sleeve 302 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 301. A screw 303 is threadedly connected to the middle of the hollow sleeve 302. An internal threaded ring 304 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the screw 303, so that the limiting device 1 can suspend the ends of the two bellows 6. The sealing device 4 includes a concave ring 401, an annular groove 402 in the middle of the concave ring 401, a heating wire 403 fixedly installed in the middle of the annular groove 402, a heat shrink ring 404 snapped into the middle of the concave ring 401, a transfer frame 405 fixedly connected to the upper end of the concave ring 401, multiple air vents 406 at equal angles on the inner wall of the concave ring 401, a slot 407 in the middle of the air vents 406 inside the concave ring 401, a plate 408 slidably connected to the middle of the slot 407, a through hole 409 in the upper end of the concave ring 401, and a tube body 410 fixedly connected to the upper end of the concave ring 401 above the through hole 409, so that the connection between the two corrugated pipes 6 can be sealed.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 4-13. The positioning device 5 includes a vertical rod 501, with a steel wire rope 502 fixedly connected to the lower end of the vertical rod 501. A strip groove 503 is formed in the middle of the vertical rod 501, and a locking rod 504 is slidably connected to the middle of the strip groove 503, so that the bellows 6 can be limited and fitted. The gear 205 meshes with the rack 103, and a cylindrical block is fixedly connected to the upper end of the screw 303, so that the gear 205 can move by rotation, and the screw 303 is not easily dislodged from the middle of the adapter groove 104.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 4-9. The front and rear ends of the internal threaded ring 304 are flat, and the intermediate frame 405 is fixedly connected to the left-hand crossbar 101 of the two crossbars 101, making it easy to rotate the internal threaded ring 304 with a wrench, and the sealing device 4 can be limited at the connection of the two bellows 6. The insert plate 408 can block the air outlet 406, and the internal material of the heat shrink ring 404 is EVA, which allows the sealing device 4 to adjust the hot air outlet position, and the heat shrink ring 404 is not easily damaged.

[0044] During installation, the two corrugated pipes 6 are respectively fitted onto the middle of the two wire ropes 502. The internal threaded ring 304 is rotated, causing it to drive the screw 303 upwards. The screw 303 then drives the limiting device 1 upwards until it reaches the appropriate position, at which point the ends of the two corrugated pipes 6 are suspended in the air. The two clamping rods 504 are then raised upwards to the upper sides of the first clamping block 106 and the second clamping block 208, respectively. The clamping rods 504 rotate the vertical rod 501, causing the vertical rod 501 to rotate and tighten the wire ropes 502. This allows the corrugated pipe 6 to be stably fitted onto the middle of the wire rope 502. The end of the corrugated pipe 6 on the left side is located in the middle of the heat shrink ring 404. A hexagonal wrench is inserted into the hexagonal groove 206. The hexagonal wrench drives the gear 205 to rotate through the hexagonal groove 206. The gear 205 moves through the rack 103, so that the two corrugated pipes 6 are fitted together. The corrugated pipe 6 on the right side is inserted into the middle of the corrugated pipe 6 on the left side. At this time, the connection point of the two corrugated pipes 6 is located in the middle of the heat shrink ring 404.

[0045] Insert the blower into the tube 410, turn on the heating wire 403, and the blower forces airflow into the annular groove 402. The airflow exits through the air outlet 406, and the airflow conducts the heat generated by the heating wire 403 to the surface of the heat shrink ring 404. The heat shrink ring 404 shrinks due to the heat, and the operator observes the shrinkage range of the heat shrink ring 404. When the shrinkage range of a certain position of the heat shrink ring 404 reaches the specified value, the insert plate 408 at the center of the corresponding position of the heat shrink ring 404 is inserted inward into the middle of the slot 407. At this time, the air outlet 406 blocked by the insert plate 408 no longer discharges hot air, and the discharge of hot air from other air outlets 406 increases. Repeat the above operation until the heat shrink ring 404 seals the connection between the two bellows 6, completing the installation and sealing operation of the bellows 6. The positioning device 5 securely limits the two bellows 6, the linkage device 2 facilitates the docking of the two bellows 6, and the sealing device 4 can uniformly seal the connection between the two bellows 6.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention; however, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and its improved concepts, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
