Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of flaw detection equipment, and in particular to a flaw detection equipment air blowing and water removal device. Background Technology

[0002] The air-blowing and dehydration device for flaw detection equipment is a supporting device for drying the surface of flaw detection equipment. The ultrasonic eddy current combined automatic inspection equipment for seamless steel pipes is a flaw detection device for seamless steel pipes designed and laid out according to the existing conditions of Dexin Steel Pipe. This set of equipment is used for flaw detection of seamless steel pipes from Ф219mm to Ф820mm. Its functions include ultrasonic testing, eddy current testing, and layer thickness measurement. The traveling trolley carrying the ultrasonic probe moves along the crossbeam, and the roller below drives the steel pipe to rotate. The probe performs ultrasonic testing on various parts of the steel pipe. With the continuous development of technology, people have increasingly higher requirements for the manufacturing process of the air-blowing and dehydration device for flaw detection equipment.

[0003] Existing air-blowing dehydration devices for flaw detection equipment have certain drawbacks. The flaw detection process requires water as a coupling agent, leaving the steel pipes soaked in water after testing. This accelerates corrosion, especially in carbon steel pipes, which can rust within hours. This affects subsequent painting, marking, and packaging operations, significantly detracting from the pipes' appearance and aesthetics. During testing, the steel pipe surface is frequently immersed in water, leading to prolonged immersion and insufficient surface dryness, making rusting more likely and hindering usability. Furthermore, the inability to quickly and easily dry the steel pipe surface reduces its lifespan, negatively impacting user experience. Therefore, we propose an air-blowing dehydration device for flaw detection equipment. Summary of the Invention

The height of the air outlets can be adjusted as needed. The fan and the air outlets are connected by a PU steel wire hose, which can dry the water adhering to the surface of the steel pipe within 1 minute, preventing rust.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a blower for dewatering flaw detection equipment, which has the following beneficial effects: This blower for dewatering flaw detection equipment adds a platform to the traveling trolley to install a high-pressure vortex air pump fan. Two knife-edge type air outlets are installed 200mm behind the last probe. The height of the air outlets can be adjusted as needed. The fan and the air outlets are connected by PU steel wire hoses, which can dry the water adhering to the surface of the steel pipe within 1 minute, preventing rust. The traveling trolley carrying the ultrasonic probe moves along the crossbeam, with the lower rollers carrying… The rotating steel pipe allows the probe to perform ultrasonic testing on various parts of the pipe. The testing equipment includes: a loading platform, a roller mechanism and a unloading platform, columns and beams, a flaw detection trolley, a probe holder, a probe water tank, a circulating water supply system, an electrical control unit, and an HSD ultrasonic testing instrument main unit kit. The traveling trolley is an important component of this testing equipment, mainly including a lifting frame, a traveling motor, and a lifting motor. The flaw detection probes are installed on the trolley, arranged in a straight line. By adjusting the water layer and angle of the probes, flaw detection of steel pipes of different diameters can be easily performed. During the flaw detection process, the water circulation system continuously supplies water to the probe, filling the gap between the probe and the steel pipe with a water layer, which acts as a coupling agent. As the motor generates heat during rotation, the heat dissipated by the heat sink is carried into the air outlet by the air blown out by the fan, making the blown air 3-5℃ hotter than the ambient temperature, thus improving the efficiency of air blowing and dehydration. In addition, two sets of constant temperature heating control devices are added at the air outlet to keep the air outlet at a constant temperature, further enhancing the drying and dehydration effect. After air blowing and dehydration, the steel pipe can achieve the effect of being dry immediately after leaving the production line, effectively preventing the steel pipe from rusting due to water immersion. The entire flaw detection equipment air blowing and dehydration device has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has better performance than traditional methods. Attached Figure Description

The testing equipment includes: a loading platform, a roller mechanism and a unloading platform, uprights and crossbeams, a flaw detection trolley, a probe frame, a probe water tank, a circulating water supply system, an electrical control unit, and an HSD ultrasonic testing instrument main unit kit, etc. The trolley is an important component of this testing equipment, mainly including a lifting frame, a travel motor, and a lifting motor. The probes used for flaw detection are installed on the trolley. The detection probes are installed on the trolley in a straight line, and by adjusting the water layer and angle of the probes, it is convenient to perform flaw detection on steel pipes of different diameters. During the flaw detection process, the water circulation system continuously supplies water to the probe, filling the gap between the probe and the steel pipe with a water layer, thus achieving coupling. A platform is added to the traveling trolley to install a high-pressure vortex air pump fan. Two knife-blade air outlets are installed 200mm behind the last probe.

[0037] 2. Low power, high air pressure (motor power: 11kw, pressure: 370mbar, flow rate: 900m3 / h, high pressure and large flow rate ensure the blowing effect).

[0038] Air outlet design:

[0039] The design features dual air outlets to increase the airflow width.

[0040] The air outlet is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, forming a cone shape. The width of the air outlet is 1-2mm, which increases the pressure of the blown air.

[0041] The air outlet is horizontally arc-shaped, consistent with the shape of the steel pipe, increasing the coverage of the airflow;

[0042] Additional features:

[0043] As the motor generates heat during rotation, the heat dissipated by the heat sink is carried into the air outlet by the air blown out by the fan, making the blown air 3-5℃ hotter than the ambient temperature, thus improving the efficiency of air blowing and dehydration. In addition, two sets of constant temperature heating control devices are added at the air outlet to keep the air outlet at a constant temperature, thereby increasing the drying and dehydration effect.

[0044] Effect: After being blown dry, the steel pipe can be dried immediately after being taken off the production line, effectively preventing the steel pipe from rusting due to water immersion.
