Abstract

Provided is a guide frame support device for a pipe welding device, the guide frame support device, which supports a guide frame provided on an outer circumferential surface of a pipe to be welded, including: a hinge bar connected to an inner circumferential surface of the guide frame; a pair of support bars which rotates around the hinge bar at a predetermined angle; hinge links, one side of each of which is hinge-connected to both ends of the hinge bar and the other side of each of which is connected to both ends of the pair of support bars; and a torsion spring provided between the pair of support bars and for providing elastic force to enable the support bars to rotate around the hinge bar at a predetermined angle.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A welding guide frame support device, the welding guide frame support device, which supports a guide frame provided on an outer circumferential surface of a pipe to be welded, comprising:
a hinge bar having two ends, wherein the hinge bar is connected to an inner circumferential surface of the guide frame;
two support bars, wherein each support bar has a first and a second end;
a plurality of hinge links, a first end of each hinge link is hinge-connected to one of the two ends of the hinge bar and a second end of each hinge link is connected to one of the first and second ends of one of the two support bars; and
a torsion spring, provided between the two support bars, for providing elastic force to enable the two support bars to rotate around the hinge bar at a predetermined angle.

2. The welding guide frame support device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a cam plate disposed at the hinge bar and rotating around the hinge bar;
a fixing member for pressurizing and fixing the cam plate; and
a separation distance adjusting device for adjusting a separation distance between the pipe and the guide frame.

3. The welding guide frame support device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a stopper bolt passing through two of the hinge links, an end of the stopper bolt presses against the guide frame to adjust the elasticity provided by the torsion spring.

4. The welding guide frame support device of claim 2 ,
wherein the cam plate is a polygonal shape having a center of rotation and a plurality of ends, wherein a distance from the center of rotation to a first end of the cam plate is different from the center of rotation to a second end of the cam plate.
