[0002] The X-ray digital imaging technology can achieve dynamic real-time imaging, with fast operation speed and high image quality, improving the detection speed and reliability. Compared with the traditional X-ray non-destructive flaw detection technology, it has great advantages. The X-ray digital imaging technology has been widely applied in various fields, but it has not been popularized in the field of industrial pipelines, especially in the field of petrochemical pipelines.

[0003] The reason why the X-ray digital imaging technology has not been widely applied in the field of industrial pipelines is mainly due to the following two major reasons: (1) The prefabrication of industrial pipelines is basically single-piece production, and basically no two prefabricated finished products (i.e., pipe sections) are the same, so mass production cannot be carried out; (2) Due to the different shapes and specifications of the pipe section finished products, without the assistance of special tooling, it is not easy to rotate. Even if the pipe section finished product can be rotated, due to the inability to accurately position the weld position, intelligent X-ray digital imaging detection cannot be achieved.

[0004] With the doubling of labor costs and the decreasing number of skilled workers, the demand for automation and intelligence in pipeline prefabrication is becoming increasingly strong. Therefore, developing an intelligent non-destructive detection device for pipeline welds based on X-ray digital imaging technology has extraordinary significance. Summary of the Utility Model

The translation mounting box body is driven by the translation drive component to slide left and right on the base 1, that is, the entire module drive system 3 moves left and right on the base 1. The module clamping mechanism 31 is similar to the structural principle of a four-jaw chuck. It includes a clamping driver, a turntable, and four jaws arranged equidistantly on the turntable. The clamping driver is composed of a servo motor, a planetary reducer, etc. The turntable is rotatably installed on the translation mounting box body. The four jaws are driven by the clamping driver to slide towards the center of the turntable on the turntable at the same time, so as to concentrically clamp the pipe fitting module 111. The module rotation mechanism includes a rotation drive part connected to the turntable. The rotation drive part is composed of a servo motor, a planetary reducer, a slewing bearing, etc. The turntable is driven by the rotation drive part to rotate relative to the translation mounting box body, so as to drive the module clamping mechanism 31 and the workpiece 11 to rotate together.

[0030] In this embodiment, in the inspection trolley system 6: the moving mechanism includes a left-right moving trolley 61 and a front-back moving column 62. The left-right moving trolley 61 is used to horizontally translate the front-back moving column 62, the adjustment mechanism (left-right, up-down, circumferential), the X-ray machine 7, and the flat panel detector 8 together.

[0031] In this embodiment, in the inspection trolley system 6: The adjustment mechanism includes a set of X-ray machine translation mechanism 64, a set of X-ray machine lifting mechanism 65, and a set of X-ray machine rotation mechanism 66.

The lifting driver is a servo motor, which is installed on the top of the moving column and is threadedly connected to the lifting mounting plate through a screw. The lifting mounting plate is slidably installed on the moving column. By rotating the lifting driver, the lifting mounting plate is driven to lift along the moving column, thereby driving the flat panel detector 8, the X-ray machine translation mechanism 64, the X-ray machine rotation mechanism 66, and the X-ray machine 7 to lift together. On the lifting mounting plate of the X-ray machine lifting mechanism 65, there is also a detector fixing mechanism 63 fixed by bolts, welding, or integrally. It is a frame structure in the shape of an arc or an inverted U, and is used to fixedly install the flat panel detector 8. The X-ray machine translation mechanism 64 includes a translation driver and a translation mounting seat, which are connected. The translation driver can also be any mechanism that can drive translation, such as a servo motor. The translation mounting seat is slidably installed on the lifting mounting plate through linear guides. The X-ray machine 7 is rotatably installed on the translation mounting seat. By driving the translation mounting seat to translate relative to the lifting mounting plate by the translation driver, the X-ray machine rotation mechanism 66 and the X-ray machine 7 are driven to translate together; the purpose is to stagger the X-ray machine 7 and the flat panel detector 8 by a small distance, so as to realize the X-ray detection method in the double-wall single-image mode. The X-ray machine rotation mechanism 66 is installed on the translation mounting seat. The X-ray machine rotation mechanism 66 includes a rotation driver and a gear transmission mechanism. The rotation driver can be any mechanism that can drive rotation, such as a servo motor. One end of the gear transmission mechanism is connected to the rotation driver, and the other end is fixed to the X-ray machine 7. By driving the gear transmission mechanism to operate by the rotation driver, according to the principle of gear meshing transmission, the X-ray machine 7 is driven to rotate relative to the translation mounting seat; the purpose is to enable the X-ray machine 7 to still irradiate the weld after the X-ray machine translation mechanism 64 translates a small distance, and to realize the X-ray detection method in the double-wall single-image mode.

The image acquisition computer, the image processing computer, the integrated console, etc. are arranged in the DR detection operation room. The digital imaging system 4 (i.e., the X-ray machine 7, the flat panel detector 8, the software, the computer, the monitoring system, etc.) all adopt existing mature technologies and equipment.

[0033] In this embodiment, the workpiece 11 includes a pipe fitting module 111, a left pipe fitting 112 (tee), an intermediate straight pipe 113, and a right pipe fitting 114 (elbow). The left pipe fitting 112, the intermediate straight pipe 113, and the right pipe fitting 114 are welded in sequence from left to right. The left pipe fitting 112 and the right pipe fitting 114 are respectively installed in the standardized pipe fitting module 111. A first workpiece 11 weld is formed between the left pipe fitting 112 and the intermediate straight pipe 113, and a second workpiece 11 weld is formed between the intermediate straight pipe 113 and the right pipe fitting 114. The pipe fitting module 111 is one or several unified standardized pipe fitting modules 111, which have unified lifting holes suitable for hoisting, positioning and conveying reference planes suitable for transportation and storage, positioning reference planes and clamping positioning holes suitable for grinding, alignment, welding, and DNT. The ends of the pipe fittings in this kind of pipe fitting module 111 that are exposed for grinding, alignment, welding, and DNT have a unified center height and a relatively fixed protruding length. Since this workpiece 11 is equipped with a standardized pipe fitting module 111, it is extremely easy to realize the automation and intelligence of machines for hoisting, transporting, grinding, storing, aligning, welding, DNT, etc. of pipelines. The structure of the machine can be designed extremely simply, and the manufacturing cost of the machine will be extremely low, that is, it can greatly reduce costs and improve the degree of automation and intelligence. This DR detection center is used to detect the first workpiece 11 weld and / or the second workpiece 11 weld. The module clamping mechanism 31 of the module drive system 3 is adapted to the structure of the pipe fitting module 111. The module clamping mechanism 31 can concentrically clamp the pipe fitting module 111, thereby concentrically clamping the left pipe fitting 112 or the right pipe fitting 114, that is, concentrically clamping the entire workpiece 11.

[0034] In practical applications, the centering support system 2, the module drive system 3, and the pipe fitting module 111 are prior arts and will not be elaborated.

[0035] In practical applications, if the workpiece 11 does not have a pipe fitting module 111, the module clamping mechanism 31 can be replaced by an ordinary machining chuck. However, at this time, the workpiece 11 must be hoisted onto the centering support system 2 by a traditional wireless remote control method, and the DR detection alignment of the weld seam is carried out by using a wireless remote control or a wire control method with the help of the monitoring system, and then a non-intelligent DR detection is carried out.

[0036] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows: The intelligent digital imaging detection center developed on the basis of pipe fitting module technology, module clamping technology, and X-ray digital imaging technology. With the cooperation of the production line MES system and intelligent hoisting equipment such as truss manipulators, this detection center can perform intelligent digital imaging detection on 1D (one-dimensional) pipe section welds, thus promoting the realization of the intelligence of all processes of pipe prefabrication; this detection center can promote the popularization and application of X-ray digital imaging technology in the field of industrial pipelines, and has great social value and economic value.
