And then all the first cylinders extend simultaneously to drive the clamping positioning disc to reversely swing relative to the material stirring disc, so that the second notch on the clamping positioning disc is matched with the first notch on the material stirring disc and the welded pipe is clamped.

After the material stirring clamping assembly clamps the welded pipe, the fourth cylinder and the fifth cylinder respectively drive the inflation head and the plugging head to seal the corresponding welded pipe, the booster pump boosts low-pressure air to high-pressure air of 1.5MPa, and the high-pressure air is decompressed by the precise pressure reducing valve to reach the pressure required by air tightness detection. The exhaust valve is closed, the air inlet valve is opened, the air is stopped being inflated after the inflation pressure reaches the set requirement, the air inlet valve is closed simultaneously, the pressure sensor measures the air pressure value of the inflated welded pipe, the high-precision pressure gauge directly converts the detection result into the leakage amount and displays the leakage amount through the digital display meter, and therefore whether the welded pipe is qualified or not is judged. The whole process is fully automatic, the working efficiency is greatly enhanced, the influence of human factors is avoided, and the high-precision pressure detector is adopted, so that the detection precision is greatly improved, the requirement of high-precision airtight detection of the welded pipe is met, and the detection precision can reach +/-5 Pa.

After the airtight test is finished, the welded pipe is sequentially sent out through the inclined plate, if the airtight test is unqualified, the pushing cylinder on the transition material rack drives the sorting plate to rise, and the welded pipe falls into the waste material rack. If the airtight test of the welded pipe is qualified, the sorting plate directly rolls to the transition material rack and enters the next station through the transition material rack.
