[0032] The gravity falling metal detector adopts the principle of balanced coil, but due to the difference in the number of winding and transmitting coil and the placement of the receiving coil, the sensitivity is not necessarily the strongest near the wall of the metal detector; the friction between the material and the pipeline can generate static electricity, causing interference / electric field change, if the metal is at the static electricity change place, since the metal detector has shielded the influence of static electricity, so the metal foreign matter in this part will be hidden, and the five-point test method can more effectively verify the electromagnetic receiver, signal processor and potential test blind area.

[0033] At present, various types of gravity falling metal detectors generally adopt the design method of single-side opening of the feeding pipe wall for ball test, but this design method cannot realize precise five-point ball test, and can only test a single point near the pipe wall each time. In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a gravity falling metal detector with a five-point test method Figure 1 and Figures 4 to 7As shown, in the embodiment, the test fixture of the metal detector comprises a first clamping arm 10, a second clamping arm 20 and a first scale 30. The first clamping arm 10 has a first clamping part 11. The second clamping arm 20 is hingedly connected to the first end of the first clamping arm 10, and the second clamping arm 20 has a second clamping part 21. The first scale 30 is arranged at the first end of the first clamping arm 10. The first clamping arm 10 and the second clamping arm 20 have a closed position and an open position. When the first clamping arm 10 and the second clamping arm 20 are in the closed position, the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 are butted, and a spherical accommodating space 40 is formed between the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21.

[0034] By applying the technical scheme of the embodiment, the first clamping arm 10 has the first clamping part 11, and the second clamping arm 20 has the second clamping part 21. The first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 can be butted. The first scale 30 is arranged at the first end of the first clamping arm 10. The first clamping arm 10 and the second clamping arm 20 have a closed position and an open position. When the first clamping arm 10 and the second clamping arm 20 are in the closed position, the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 are butted, and a spherical accommodating space 40 is formed between the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21. The inside of the spherical accommodating space 40 is used to accommodate a test ball. By adjusting the length of the first scale 30, the test fixture is inserted into the inside of the feeding pipe 2 of the metal detector 1, and the end of the first scale 30 away from the first clamping arm 10 abuts against the side wall of the feeding pipe 2. In this way, the position of the test ball in the feeding pipe can be accurately determined, and multiple tests can be performed to obtain multiple different test points. Through the multiple test points, the accuracy of the test of the metal detector 1 can be effectively improved. Therefore, the technical scheme of the embodiment effectively solves the problem of poor test accuracy of the metal detector in the related art.

Specifically, the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 are hinged together, which makes the clamping of the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 more stable. At the same time, when the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 are opened, the opening gradually increases, which can make it easier to pick up the test ball and prevent it from falling off.

[0038] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 , in the embodiment, the test fixture of the metal detector further comprises a first protrusion 51 provided at the end of the first clamping part 11 away from the first clamping arm 10 and a second protrusion 52 provided at the end of the second clamping part 21 away from the second clamping arm 20, the first protrusion 51 is provided with a first connecting hole 511, the second protrusion 52 is provided with a second connecting hole 521, the first protrusion 51 and the second protrusion 52 are arranged in a stacked manner, and the test fixture of the metal detector further comprises a hinge shaft 53 inserted into the first connecting hole 511 and the second connecting hole 521. The arrangement of the first protrusion 51 and the second protrusion 52 enables the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 to be hinged together, and at the same time, the first protrusion 51 and the second protrusion 52 can protrude from the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 21 and protrude in a direction away from the first clamping arm 10, so that the hinge shaft 53 can realize hinging. And the first protrusion 51 and the second protrusion 52 are protruded in a direction away from the first clamping arm 10, which makes the position of the first scale 30 stable and enables the test ball to be disassembled without a large space.

The first locking piece 33 can lock the position of the first scale part 31 and the first sleeve part 32, which makes the test more convenient. Specifically, in the embodiment, the first locking piece 33 is a first bolt.

[0040] In an embodiment not shown in the drawings, a convex tooth and a concave groove are arranged between the first scale and the first sleeve, the convex tooth is arranged on the first scale, a mounting hole is arranged on the side wall of the first scale, a spring is connected in the mounting hole, one end of the spring is spring-connected with the convex tooth, so that the convex tooth can move in the concave groove, and the convex tooth and the concave groove are in abutting fit, so that the locking between the first scale and the first sleeve can also be achieved.

[0041] As Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 indicated, in the present embodiment, the first clamping part 11 comprises a first half spherical shell 111, and the second clamping part 21 comprises a second half spherical shell 211. The first half spherical shell 111 and the second half spherical shell 211 can realize clamping of the test ball, and the inside of the first half spherical shell 111 and the second half spherical shell 211 forms a spherical accommodating space 40, so that the fixation of the test ball is more stable.

[0043] As Figures 1 to 5 indicated, in the present embodiment, the first clamping arm 10 comprises a second scale 12, a second sleeve 13 and a second locking piece 14, the first clamping part 11 is connected with the second scale 12, the second sleeve 13 is movably sleeved on the second scale 12, and the second locking piece 14 is connected between the second scale 12 and the second sleeve 13. The cooperation of the second scale 12 and the second sleeve 13 can make the adjustment length of the test fixture larger, and thus the adjustment range of the test fixture is larger, and thus the test fixture can test points at different positions. At the same time, the second locking piece 14 can lock the position between the second scale 12 and the second sleeve 13.

[0044] In order to avoid the lengths of the first clamping arm 10 and the second clamping arm 20 being different when the test fixture is adjusted in length, and thus the test fixture can be more stable when testing.

[0065] Before the test ball is placed in the first clamping part 11, the positions of the first test point 61, the second test point 62, the third test point 63, the fourth test point 64 and the fifth test point 65 are obtained according to the pipe diameter of the feeding pipe 2 of the metal detector 1; wherein the minimum distance a between the first test point 61 and the inner wall of the feeding pipe 2, the minimum distance b between the third test point 63 and the inner wall of the feeding pipe 2, the minimum distance c between the fourth test point 64 and the inner wall of the feeding pipe 2 and the minimum distance d between the fifth test point 65 and the inner wall of the feeding pipe 2 and the pipe diameter e of the feeding pipe 2 satisfy: 1 / 3e≤a=b=c=d≤2 / 3e. When the test is performed, the positions of the first test point 61, the second test point 62, the third test point 63, the fourth test point 64 and the fifth test point 65 need to be calculated according to the pipe diameter of the feeding pipe 2. After the positions of the first test point 61, the second test point 62, the third test point 63, the fourth test point 64 and the fifth test point 65 are calculated, the lengths of the first ruler part 31, the second ruler part 12 and the third ruler part 22 are adjusted according to the sizes, so that the test fixture is stretched into the feeding pipe 2, and the first test point 61, the second test point 62, the third test point 63, the fourth test point 64 and the fifth test point 65 can be obtained. And 1 / 3e≤a=b=c=d≤2 / 3e can make the test more accurate. Specifically, a=b=c=d=1 / 2e.

[0066] The above test scheme needs to make the first sleeve part abut against the inner wall of the feeding pipe when the test is performed, so that the positions of the first test point 61, the second test point 62, the third test point 63, the fourth test point 64 and the fifth test point 65 are accurate.
