Technical Field

[0002] In the field of industrial pipeline construction and maintenance, the inspection of large-diameter pipelines is one of the key links to ensure pipeline quality and safe operation. Traditional large-diameter pipeline radiographic inspection methods usually use film-type radiographic inspection technology, which requires manual operation of the radiographic machine and manual attachment of the film. The entire process requires at least two workers to work together: one is responsible for attaching the film and the other is responsible for operating the radiographic machine. This manual operation method is not only inefficient, but also has many safety hazards. Due to the radiation characteristics of the rays, the operator is always at risk of being irradiated during the inspection process, which poses a serious threat to the health of the workers.
[0003] In addition, the traditional film-based X-ray detection method has many technical limitations. For example, inaccurate film attachment position, incorrect placement of the X-ray machine, inadequate film protection measures, and difficulty in accessing the detection position may all lead to deviations in the detection results. These problems will not only increase the scrap rate, but also lead to reshoots or even inability to complete the detection, which will seriously affect the quality, progress and efficiency of X-ray detection. Ultimately, these problems will be directly reflected in the progress of pipeline welding construction, and may even cause delays in the construction period, causing huge economic losses to the project construction.

Start the scanning device: turn on the ray emission component 4 and the weld scanning locator 6 to scan the weld; S4. Positioning the weld: After the weld scanning locator 6 scans the weld, the device control system controls the magnetic universal wheel 303 to continue moving forward until the weld scanning locator 6 is located directly above the weld, and then moves a fixed distance to ensure that the emission port of the ray device 403 is located directly above the weld; S5.

Move the inspection position: After the X-ray inspection is completed, drive the X-ray emitting assembly 4 to the weld at the next welding position to continue the X-ray inspection.
[0033] Working principle: After the pipeline welding is completed, the upper part of the radiation detection system is installed on the pipeline 2, and the number of radiation films matching the number of pipeline welds is loaded into the radiation receiving device 501, and then the electric telescopic rod 301 is started to push the mounting plate 302 and the magnetic universal wheel 303 closer to the pipeline 2, and the movement and direction are controlled by controlling the cooperation between the motor 304 and the magnetic universal wheel 303; At the same time, the electric telescopic rod 301 pushes the mounting plate 302 to extend, and the mounting plate 302 drives the piston rod 305 to press the movable piston plate 308 to move downward in the box body 306. The two ends of the movable piston plate 308 are limited by the clamping blocks 309, and the hydraulic oil is pumped into the first liquid channel groove 314, and then flows into the first telescopic rod 315, so that the first telescopic rod 315 extends and moves, and the ball 316 at the end thereof contacts the outer wall of the pipe 2, which plays a certain supporting role and assists the magnetic universal wheel 303 to drive the movement of the housing 1; The weld scanning locator 6 of the ray detection system is turned on, and the device starts to scan the weld; after scanning the weld, the control system controls the magnetic universal wheel 303 to continue to move forward until the weld scanning locator 6 is located directly above the weld, ensuring that the emission port of the ray device 403 is located directly above the weld, and after the ray device 403 reaches the specified position; The control motor 304 controls the magnetic universal wheel 303 to stop moving, and the electric telescopic rod 301 shrinks its stroke, driving the piston rod 305 to move upward in the box body 306 through the mounting plate 302. At this time, since the block 309 limits the movable piston plate 308, the movable piston plate 308 will not move upward with the piston rod 305 under the influence of the connecting spring 307, but the connecting spring 307 is stretched. Since the movable piston plate 308 does not move, the hydraulic oil in the first liquid channel groove 314 and the first telescopic rod 315 will not be pumped into the box body 306; As the upper end of the piston rod 305 moves to the top in the box body 306, the hydraulic oil at the top of the box body 306 is pumped into the second liquid channel groove 318 and enters the second telescopic rod 319, so that the second telescopic rod 319 extends. After the suction cup cylinder 320 at the end of the second telescopic rod 319 contacts the outer wall of the pipe 2, as the second telescopic rod 319 continues to push, the spiral groove 323 at the end of the second telescopic rod 319 contacts the end of the notch baffle 322, similar to the large spiral connection of the toy "bamboo dragonfly", which drives the notch baffle 322 to rotate, and the notch on the side of the notch baffle 322 contacts the suction cup cylinder 320. The opening 321 is misaligned, and the air in the suction cup tube 320 is discharged under continued pressing, and the suction cup tube 320 is firmly fixed to the outer wall of the pipe 2 like a suction cup, so as to prevent the pipe 2 and the shell 1 from rotating during the subsequent processing, thereby improving the stability and ensuring the stability of the entire device. When the support is subsequently released and the second telescopic rod 319 is reset, the spiral groove 323 on the second telescopic rod 319 drives the notch baffle 322 to reset and rotate, and the notch on the notch baffle 322 is aligned with the opening 321, so that air can enter the suction cup tube 320, so that the suction cup tube 320 can be easily removed from the outer wall of the pipe 2; At the same time, the upper end of the piston rod 305 is parallel to the magnetic block rotating rod 312, attracting the magnetic block rotating rod 312 to rotate, and the lower end of the magnetic block rotating rod 312 is separated from the limit of the clamping block 309. The tension spring 311 in the stretched state is reset to drive the clamping block 309 to move into the cavity 310 to separate from the limit of the movable piston plate 308. Since the movable piston plate 308 is separated from the limit, the movable piston plate 308 is driven to move upward in the box body 306 under the pulling action of the connecting spring 307, so that the hydraulic oil in the first liquid channel groove 314 enters the box body 306, and the first telescopic rod 315 contracts, driving the ball 316 to separate from the contact with the pipe 2. Then, the radiation receiving device 501 is turned on, the receiving device door 506 is opened, and the middle lifting device 502, the front lifting device 503, and the rear lifting device 504 inside the device lift the radiation film box 505 so that the radiation film block in the radiation film box 505 just fits the surface of the weld of the pipeline 2; Open the fixed magnet 507 to fix the X-ray film on the surface of the pipe 2, and close the receiving device door 506 at the same time. According to the pipe diameter and wall thickness, adjust the focusing device 404 to ensure that the X-ray detection can meet the requirements. After the detection is completed, adjust the bottom lifting device 509 at the bottom of the X-ray receiving device 501 and the film storage box 508 to make the X-ray receiving device 501 tilted to facilitate the X-ray film to slide into the film storage box 508; close the fixed magnet 507, and the X-ray film falls back to the surface of the X-ray receiving device 501 and slides into the film storage box 508. Finally, after the X-ray detection is completed, drive the X-ray emitting component 4 to rotate to the weld at the next welding position, and continue the X-ray detection until the detection of all welds is completed. This is the working principle of the large-diameter pipeline automated X-ray detection system and method.
