DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with examples. The examples are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0042] like Figure 1-12As shown, a brake disc eddy current flaw detection equipment includes a base 101 and a frame 102, and also includes a positioning mechanism 2, a lever 503 mechanism, and a plurality of sensor probes 8 for eddy current flaw detection, wherein the positioning mechanism 2 is arranged on the base 101, and the positioning mechanism 2 includes a central column 201, a supporting column 203, a positioning sleeve 204 and an elastic support device 3, a plurality of the supporting columns 203 are circumferentially arranged around the central column 201, and the positioning sleeve 204 is installed on the end of the central column 201 through the elastic support device 3 in a manner that it can rotate around its own axis; the lever 503 mechanism is arranged above the positioning mechanism 2 through a displacement seat 1308 to realize the movement of the lever 503 mechanism in four directions of up, down, front and back, and the lever 503 mechanism includes a lever assembly 5 and a rotating mechanism 13 that drives the lever assembly 5 to rotate; a plurality of the sensor probes 8 are installed on the frame 102.

[0043] like Figure 3-4 As shown, when in use, the brake disc 6 is sleeved outside the positioning sleeve 204, and the positioning sleeve 204 is used to locate the rotation center position of the brake disc 6. The rotating mechanism 13 is driven to rotate by the lever 503 motor, and the displacement seat 1308 drives the lever assembly 5 to be inserted into the bolt hole 603 of the brake disc 6. The rotation of the brake disc 6 on the positioning sleeve 204 is realized by the movement of the lever 503 mechanism, and the positioning sleeve 204 rotates synchronously with the brake disc 6. While the brake disc 6 rotates, a number of sensor probes 8 used for eddy current flaw detection perform comprehensive inspection on the brake disc 6.

[0044] In addition, in a specific embodiment,

[0045] Brake disc 6 (such as Figure 2 As shown): the brake disc includes a mounting inner circle 601, a center hole 602, a bolt hole 603, a groove 604, an upper brake surface 605, and a lower brake surface 606.

[0046] Support column 203 (such as Fig. 9As shown): a plurality of the support columns 203 are respectively mounted on the guide rails 202, and the plurality of the support columns 203 can move along the guide rails 202. A locking mechanism is also provided between the guide rails 202 and the support columns 203. The locking mechanism is a clamp 206. Of course, the locking mechanism can also be other devices with a locking function. By adjusting the position of the support column 203 on the guide rails 202, the size of the support range of the support column 203 can be adjusted, so that it is suitable for supporting and installing brake discs 6 with different sizes of inner circles 601, so as to achieve the function of supporting and positioning detection of brake discs 6 with inner circles 601 of various specifications using the same inspection fixture. The number of the guide rails 202 is matched with the number of the support columns 203. In the specific embodiment, the number of the guide rails 202 and the support columns 203 is three. Of course, the number of the guide rails 202 and the support columns 203 can also be more or less, as long as the balanced support of the brake disc 6 can be achieved. A support bearing 205 is also provided at the end of the support column 203. The support bearing 205 is installed on the inner side and / or the outer side of the support column 203. The central axis of the support bearing 205 is perpendicular to the axis of the central column 201. The installation inner circle 601 of the brake disc 6 is in contact with the support bearing 205. When the brake disc 6 rotates, the support bearing 205 will rotate around its own axis, which can prevent friction between the installation inner circle 601 of the brake disc 6 and the support column 203, and further ensure that the brake disc 6 is not damaged during the detection process.

[0047] Elastic support device 3 (such as Figure 7-8As shown): the elastic support device 3 includes a push rod 301, a spring 502 and a positioning sleeve connecting rod 302. The positioning sleeve 204 is installed at one end of the positioning sleeve connecting rod 302 through a bearing 12, and the other end of the positioning sleeve connecting rod 302 is connected to the push rod 301 through a spring 502. A hollow cavity is provided in the central column 201, and the elastic support device 3 is installed in the hollow cavity of the central column 201. After the lower part of the push rod 301 extends out of the central column 201, it is installed on the displacement platform 307 through a connecting plate 308. The displacement platform 307 enables the push rod 301 to adjust its height in the upward and downward directions, and the elastic force of the spring 502 is changed by adjusting the height of the push rod 301. In addition, a knob 309 is also provided on the workbench, and the knob 309 is installed in linkage with the connecting plate 308. The height of the connecting plate 308 is adjusted by rotating the knob 309, thereby adjusting the height of the push rod 301. The elastic support device 3 also includes a limiting device that can limit the distance that the positioning sleeve 204 moves up and down, and the limiting device includes a limiting sleeve 303 and a limiting pin / shaft 304. The limiting sleeve 303 is fixedly connected to the central column 201 through a flange end plate 305, and the limiting sleeve 303 is sleeved on the outer side of the positioning sleeve connecting rod 302. The limiting sleeve 303 is provided with an oblong hole 306. The limiting pin / shaft 304 is fixed on the positioning sleeve connecting rod 302, and the limiting pin / shaft 304 is located in the oblong hole 306. The combined action of the limiting sleeve 303 and the limiting pin / shaft 304 can not only limit the distance that the positioning sleeve 204 moves up and down, but also prevent the spring 502 from fatigue fracture.

[0048] Positioning sleeve 204 (such as Figure 7-8 As shown): the positioning sleeve 204 is supported by the elastic support device 3. The positioning sleeve 204 is a cone structure with a diameter gradually increasing from top to bottom, and can be suitable for brake discs 6 with different central hole diameters. When the brake disc 6 is placed on the positioning sleeve 204, the brake disc 6 presses the positioning sleeve 204 downward under the action of its own gravity, thereby ensuring that not only the positioning sleeve 204 is in contact with the center hole 602 of the brake disc 6, but also the installation inner circle 601 of the brake disc 6 is in contact with the support bearing 205. In addition, The height of the push rod 301 can also be adjusted according to the weight of the brake disc 6, so as to achieve the effect of adjusting the elastic force of the spring 502. If the brake disc 6 is heavier, the push rod 301 is adjusted upward to compress the spring 502, thereby increasing the elastic force of the spring 502. If the brake disc 6 is lighter, the push rod 301 is adjusted downward to reduce the elastic force of the spring 502. Therefore, it is suitable for support detection of brake discs 6 of different weights, and the elastic force of the spring 502 will reduce the pressure of the brake disc 6 on the support bearing 205.

[0049] Synchronous adjustment device 4 (such as Fig. 9 As shown): The positioning mechanism 2 for detecting the brake disc 6 also includes a synchronous adjustment device 4, which includes an adjustment sleeve 401 and a plurality of connecting rods 402. The number of the connecting rods 402 matches the number of the supporting columns 203. For example, when the number of the supporting columns 203 is roots, the number of the connecting rods 402 is also strips. The adjustment sleeve 401 is sleeved on the outer side of the central column 201 in a manner that it can slide up and down along the central column 201, and the adjustment sleeve 401 and the plurality of supporting columns 203 are connected by a plurality of connecting rods 402. When the adjustment sleeve 401 moves up and down, the plurality of supporting columns 203 are driven to move along their respective guide rails 202 at the same time by the connecting rods 402. When the supporting columns 203 move to a suitable position, the supporting columns 203 are fixed to the guide rails 202 by a locking mechanism.

The vertical mounting plate 701 can be slidably mounted on the workbench via the movable slide 705. The vertical mounting plate 701 can be moved and fixed along with the movable slide 705, which can not only adjust the position of the natural frequency hammer 702 striking the workpiece, but also be suitable for workpieces of different models.

At the same time, the first lifting mechanism 1501 is installed on the linear slide 14 to realize the movement of the upper brake surface detection probe 801 and the lower brake surface detection probe 802 in the left and right directions. The linear slide 14 is fixed on the measuring slide 10 to realize the movement of the upper brake surface detection probe 801 and the lower brake surface detection probe 802 in the front and rear directions; the grooved surface detection probe 803 is installed on the second lifting mechanism 1502 to realize the movement of the grooved surface detection probe 803 in the upper and lower directions. At the same time, the second lifting mechanism 1502 is installed on the measuring slide 10 to realize the movement of the grooved surface detection probe 803 in the front and rear directions. A central fixing rod 1307 is also fixed in the hollow cavity of the hollow shaft 1301 of the rotating mechanism 13. The first detection probe 804 is arranged at the end of the central fixing rod 1307. The first detection probe 804 is used to perform eddy current flaw detection on the second outer end surface 6012 of the brake disc.

[0057] When in use, the measuring slide 10 drives the upper brake surface detection probe 801 and the lower brake surface detection probe 802 to move forward and backward, the first lifting mechanism 1501 drives the upper brake surface detection probe 801 and the lower brake surface detection probe 802 to move upward and downward, and the linear slide 14 drives the upper brake surface detection probe 801 and the lower brake surface detection probe 802 to move back and forth in the horizontal direction to scan and detect the upper and lower brake surfaces of the brake disc 6. In addition, a groove is provided on the upper brake surface of the brake disc 6 near the installation inner circle 601. In order to perform flaw detection on the groove, the measuring slide 10 needs to drive the groove surface detection probe 803 forward during measurement, and drive the groove surface detection probe 803 downward through the lifting cylinder to ensure that the groove surface detection probe 803 falls into the groove before measurement can be performed.

[0058] Scanner 9 (such as Figure 1 As shown): It also includes a barcode scanner 9, which is used to scan the QR code on the brake disc 6, associate the QR code on the brake disc 6 with the measurement data, and realize a one-to-one correspondence between the QR code and the measurement data. The barcode scanner 9 is installed on the measuring slide 10 through the barcode scanner 9 bracket, and the barcode scanner 9 can move in the front and rear directions along the measuring slide 10.

[0059] The workflow after starting the brake disc 6 eddy current flaw detection equipment is as follows:

[0060] The first step is to start the natural frequency detection process.

[0061] S1, the initial state of the lifting cylinder is the lifting state, the lifting cylinder lifts the lifting column 1101 as a whole, and places the brake disc 6 on the lifting column 1101;

[0062] S2, the natural frequency rotating cylinder 704 drives the industrial microphone 703 to rotate around the rotation axis so that its sound input port faces upward;

[0063] S3, triggering the electromagnetic valve in the knocking hammer 702, the knocking hammer 702 rises, knocks the workpiece once, and then falls immediately after knocking. At the same time, the industrial microphone 703 collects audio signals and transmits the collected signals to the calculation software. The natural frequency value of the workpiece is calculated by the software, and the natural frequency detection is completed. At the same time, the natural frequency rotating cylinder 704 drives the industrial microphone 703 to rotate around the rotation axis so that its sound input port faces downward;

[0064] S4. The lifting cylinder drives the lifting column 1101 to fall back as a whole, and the brake disc 6 falls onto the positioning mechanism 2.

[0065] Step 2: The eddy current testing process begins

[0066] S5, the measuring slide 10 drives the upper brake surface detection probe 801, the lower brake surface detection probe 802, the groove surface detection probe 803, the small outer circle detection probe 805 and the second detection probe 806 to move forward and reach the set detection position, and the groove surface detection probe 803 is driven by the second lifting mechanism 1502 to descend into the groove;

[0067] S6, the cylinder of the lever 503 descends, the lever 503 is inserted into the bolt hole 603 of the brake disc 6, and the motor of the lever 503 drives the lever 503 to rotate, thereby driving the brake disc 6 to rotate on the positioning sleeve 204;

[0068] S7, start the barcode scanner 9 to scan the brake disc 6. After the scanning is successful, the linear slide 14 drives the upper brake surface detection probe 801 and the lower brake surface detection probe 802 to move back and forth to scan and detect the upper and lower brake surfaces of the brake disc 6. At the same time, the grooved surface detection probe 803, the small outer circle detection probe 805, the first detection probe 804, the second detection probe 806, the third detection probe 807 and the fourth detection probe 808 are respectively aligned with the grooved surface 604, the small outer circle surface 607, the first outer end surface 6011, the second outer end surface 6012, the first inner end surface 6013, and the second inner end surface 6014 of the brake disc 6 for detection;

[0069] S8. After the detection is completed, the motor of the lever 503 stops rotating, the linear slide 14 is reset, and the cylinder of the lever 503 rises and retreats. The grooving cylinder drives the grooving surface detection probe 803 to rise, and the measuring slide 10 drives the barcode scanner 9, the upper brake surface detection probe 801, the lower brake surface detection probe 802, the grooving surface detection probe 803, the small outer circle detection probe 805 and the second detection probe 806 to retreat. The lifting cylinder rises to lift the brake disc 6 after the flaw detection, and the eddy current flaw detection of the brake disc 6 is completed. A qualified or unqualified signal is output according to the detection result.

[0070] The positioning sleeve 204 of the present invention is installed on the end of the central column 201 in a manner that it can rotate around its own axis. The brake disc 6 is sleeved on the outside of the positioning sleeve 204. The brake disc 6 is rotated by the movement of the lever 503 mechanism. The positioning sleeve 204 rotates synchronously with the brake disc 6. The positioning sleeve 204 will not cause friction with the center hole 602 of the brake disc 6, thereby ensuring the smooth rotation of the brake disc 6. The brake disc 6 can also be rotated at high speed to improve the detection efficiency.
