The invention relates to the field of steel
pipe internal thread detection equipment, in particular to a detection
system and method for flexible online detection of internal threads of a long steel
pipe, and the method comprises the following steps: S1, measuring the reference position of the end of the steel
pipe; s2, measuring the inner
diameter of the end of the steel pipe and determining the inner circle axis position of the steel pipe; s3, measuring and determining the position of an internal thread
spiral line; s4, on the basis that the position of the
spiral line of the internal thread is determined, the measuring probe continues to move according to the actually-measured small
diameter and thread
pitch data and the control program of the detection
system, the numerical values of at least three points are measured in a spiral groove of the internal thread, and then the
pitch diameter of the internal thread is obtained through calculation; and S5, comparing and calculating a deviation value to obtain a detection result of the internal thread. According to the invention, judgment and feedback are realized through logic measurement and
system calculation, the detection of the characteristics of internal threads, inner holes and the like can be realized, the internal threads of steel pipes with T-shaped threads and M-shaped triangular threads can be automatically detected, the detection range is wide, and the application is wide.
