The invention relates to a curvature detection device and method for a
drill rod. The device comprises a
drill rod clamping part, a sensor transmission part and a control and operation part, wherein a three-jaw chuck, a V-shaped block and a stepping motor A are arranged on the
drill rod clamping part; the three-jaw chuck is used for clamping one end of the drill rod, and the other end of the drill rod is placed on the V-shaped block; a 2D (two-dimensional)
laser sensor and a stepping motor B are arranged on the sensor transmission part; the control and operation part comprises a single-
chip microcomputer and a host. The detection method comprises the following steps: acquiring the three-dimensional coordinate information of hemi-profile data points of a plurality of sections of the drill rod by using the 2D
laser sensor;
processing and calculating a section central point through the host, and fitting the central lines of n sections; determining the maximum curvature and coordinate value of a maximum bending point, comparing with the curvature
limit value of the drill rod, judging whether the curvature of the drill rod is qualified or not, and providing a judgment result for a user. The device is scientific in structure, the detection method is simple, the curvature information of the drill rod can be obtained efficiently and accurately, and
technical support is provided for the increase of the production accuracy of the drill rod.
