This invention relates to a health monitoring device and method for weld seams in
metal structures of metallurgical cranes, belonging to the field of metallurgical crane operation and maintenance technology. It includes a detection upper cover, a detection
interlocking plate, and a detection lower cover. Detection components are provided on the top surface of the upper cover and the bottom surface of the lower cover. Each detection component includes a probe sleeve and a probe upper cover fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the probe sleeve by bolts. An electromagnetic
ultrasonic monitoring probe is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the probe upper cover. A telescopic groove is formed on the side of the probe sleeve near the detection
interlocking plate, and a connecting ring cylinder is slidably installed on the inner wall of the telescopic groove. This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies in the health monitoring of
weld seam areas in
metal structures of metallurgical cranes by combining an electromagnetic ultrasonic probe with a simulated sample that simulates the damage state of the
weld seam area being monitored. The simulated sample has the same temperature and stress state as the
weld seam being monitored, increasing the detection accuracy of the device.
