[0002] Water-wall tubes are the most important evaporation heating surface of boilers. Due to long-term operation in a harsh environment filled with flames, smoke, and fly ash, they are prone to various types of defects, which in turn lead to tube aging and pose a hidden danger to boiler safety accidents. Therefore, strengthening water-wall tube defect detection is extremely important to ensure the safe operation of boilers.

[0003] Water-wall tubes are seamless steel pipes of varying diameters. Ultrasonic thickness gauges are typically used to measure the thickness of these tubes. The ultrasonic thickness gauge probe is placed close to the tube, maintaining a certain distance from the tube to ensure accurate measurement data.

[0035] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an adaptive pipe diameter thickness detection device, comprising: a frame 1; a pipe diameter adaptive part 2, the pipe diameter adaptive part 2 comprising a first adaptive component 201, a second adaptive component 202 and a cam rod 206, the first adaptive component 201, the second adaptive component 202 and the cam rod 206 are all movably arranged on the frame 1, there is an angle between the first adaptive component 201 and the second adaptive component 202, the cam rod 206 is located between the first adaptive component 201 and the second adaptive component 202, and the ends of the first adaptive component 201, the second adaptive component 202 and the cam rod 206 away from the frame 1 can be adaptively matched with the outer diameter of the pipe; a detection part 4, the detection part 4 is arranged at an end of the first adaptive component 201, the second adaptive component 202 and the cam rod 206 close to the pipe, and the detection part 4 measures the thickness of the pipe.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first adaptive assembly 201, the second adaptive assembly 202, and the cam rod 206 adjust to the changes in the diameter of the pipe being measured. When the pipe diameter increases, the angle between the first adaptive assembly 201 and the second adaptive assembly 202 increases, and the cam rod 206 moves to a position that matches the pipe. When the pipe diameter decreases, the angle between the first adaptive assembly 201 and the second adaptive assembly 202 decreases, and the cam rod 206 also moves to a position that matches the pipe. The detection unit 4 is positioned near one end of the pipe where the first adaptive assembly 201, the second adaptive assembly 202, and the cam rod 206 are located. As the positions of the first adaptive assembly 201, the second adaptive assembly 202, and the cam rod 206 change in response to the pipe diameter, the detection unit 4 moves accordingly, adaptively coordinating with the pipe, thereby enabling thickness testing of pipes of various outer diameters.

[0038] like Figures 3 and 4 As shown, the tube diameter adaptive part 2 also includes a first guide component 212 and a second guide component 211. The first guide component 212 is fixedly arranged on the first adaptive component 201, and the second guide component 211 is fixedly arranged on the second adaptive component 202. The end of the first guide component 212 away from the first adaptive component 201 and the end of the second guide component 211 away from the second adaptive component 202 respectively cooperate with the cam curve surfaces on both sides of the cam rod 206 for movement.

[0039] The first guide assembly 212 includes a first guide rod and a first bearing mounted on the end of the first guide rod away from the first adaptable assembly 201. The second guide assembly 211 includes a second guide rod and a second bearing mounted on the end of the second guide rod away from the second adaptable assembly 202. The first guide assembly 212 and the second guide assembly 211 move along the cam curve surface of the cam rod 206, allowing the angle between the first adaptable assembly 201 and the second adaptable assembly 202 to change as the cam rod 206 moves up and down. The curved design of the cam rod 206 allows the first adaptable assembly 201, the second adaptable assembly 202, and the cam rod 206 to seamlessly fit pipes of all outer diameters. In actual production, the first bearing and the second bearing can also be replaced by rollers of appropriate radius.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the first adaptation component 201 and the second adaptation component 202 are both rotatably connected to the frame 1. The frame 1 has a first limiting groove, a second limiting groove and a third limiting groove. The first limiting groove is an arc groove for limiting the movement of the first adaptation component 201. The second limiting groove is an arc groove for limiting the movement of the second adaptation component 202. The third limiting groove is a straight groove for limiting the movement of the cam rod 206.

[0041] The first adaptable assembly 201 and the second adaptable assembly 202 can rotate on the frame 1. The first limiting groove restricts the range of rotation of the first adaptable assembly 201, forcing it to rotate along the trajectory predetermined by the first limiting groove. The second limiting groove restricts the range of rotation of the second adaptable assembly 202, forcing it to rotate along the trajectory predetermined by the second limiting groove. The third limiting groove restricts the movement of the cam rod 206, forcing it to move only in a straight line.

[0042] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the pipe diameter adaptive part 2 also includes a first limiting component 205 and a second limiting component 204. The first limiting component 205 is fixedly arranged on the first adaptive component 201, and the first limiting component 205 cooperates with the first limiting groove to limit the trajectory of the first adaptive component 201. The second limiting component 204 is fixedly arranged on the second adaptive component 202, and the second limiting component 204 cooperates with the second limiting groove to limit the movement trajectory of the second adaptive component 202.

[0043] The first limiting assembly 205 is fixed on the first adapting assembly 201, limiting the movement of the first adapting assembly 201 along the trajectory of the first limiting groove. The second limiting assembly 204 is fixed on the second adapting assembly 202, limiting the movement of the second adapting assembly 202 along the trajectory of the second limiting groove. The first limiting assembly 205 includes a first limiting rod and a third bearing installed at the end of the first limiting rod away from the first adapting assembly 201, and the second limiting assembly 204 includes a second limiting rod and a fourth bearing installed at the end of the second limiting rod away from the second adapting assembly 202. The third bearing and the fourth bearing can roll in the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove, respectively. In the actual production process, the third bearing and the fourth bearing can be replaced by rollers with suitable radius.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the pipe diameter adaptive part 2 also includes a third limiting component 207, a fourth limiting component 208, a third guide component 209 and a fourth guide component 210. The third limiting component 207 and the fourth limiting component 208 are arranged at intervals on the cam rod 206, and the third guide component 209 and the fourth guide component 210 are arranged between the third limiting component 207 and the fourth limiting component 208. The diameters of the ends of the third limiting component 207 and the fourth limiting component 208 away from the cam rod 206 are both greater than the width of the third limiting groove to limit the movement of the cam rod 206 parallel to the axial direction of the pipeline. The ends of the third guide component 209 and the fourth guide component 210 away from the cam rod 206 are both matched with the third limiting groove to limit the movement trajectory of the cam rod 206 perpendicular to the axial direction of the pipeline.

[0045] The third limiting assembly 207 includes a third limiting rod and a third limiting cap fixed to the end of the third limiting rod away from the cam rod 206. The fourth limiting assembly 208 includes a fourth limiting rod and a fourth limiting cap fixed to the end of the fourth limiting rod away from the cam rod 206. The third and fourth limiting rods pass through the third limiting slot. The third and fourth limiting caps limit the movement of the cam rod 206 parallel to the axial direction of the pipeline, so that the cam rod 206 can only slide along the third limiting slot on the frame 1. The third guide assembly 209 includes a third guide rod and a fifth bearing mounted on the end of the third guide rod away from the cam rod 206. The fourth guide assembly 210 includes a fourth guide rod and a sixth bearing mounted on the end of the fourth guide rod away from the cam rod 206. The fifth and sixth bearings roll within the third limiting slot, allowing the cam rod 206 to move linearly along the third limiting slot. In actual production, the fifth and sixth bearings can be replaced with rollers of appropriate radius.

[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, the adaptive pipe diameter thickness detection device further includes a pressing portion 3, which applies a force to move the first adaptive component 201 and the second adaptive component 202 closer together. The pressing portion 3 forces the first adaptive component 201 and the second adaptive component 202 closer together, and when the adaptive pipe diameter thickness detection device is measuring the pipe, the detection portion 4 is pressed against the pipe.

[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, the clamping part 3 includes a first compression spring 303, a second compression spring 304, a third compression spring 305 and a fourth compression spring 306. The two ends of the first compression spring 303 and the second compression spring 304 are respectively abutted against the frame 1 and the first adaptation component 201, and the two ends of the third compression spring 305 and the fourth compression spring 306 are respectively abutted against the frame 1 and the second adaptation component 202.

[0048] The first compression spring 303 and the second compression spring 304 press the first adapting assembly 201 , and the third compression spring 305 and the fourth compression spring 306 press the second adapting assembly, so that the first adapting assembly 201 and the second adapting assembly 202 are close to each other.

[0049] like Figure 5 As shown, the pressing portion 3 further includes a tension spring 309 , both ends of which are fixedly connected to the first adaptable component 201 and the second adaptable component 202 , respectively. The tension spring 309 is used to pull the first adaptable component 201 and the second adaptable component 202 closer together.

[0050] A first plunger 307 is provided on the first adaptation component 201, and a second plunger 308 is provided on the second adaptation component 202. The two ends of the tension spring 309 are respectively fixed on the first plunger 307 and the second plunger 308. The tension spring 309 provides a pulling force to make the first adaptation component 201 and the second adaptation component 202 approach each other.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, the clamping part 3 also includes a first fixed shaft 301 and a second fixed shaft 302, the first fixed shaft 301 and the second fixed shaft 302 pass through the first adaptation component 201 and the second adaptation component 202, the first fixed shaft 301 and the second fixed shaft 302 are both fixedly connected to the frame 1, the first compression spring 303 and the third compression spring 305 are respectively mounted on both ends of the first fixed shaft 301, and the second compression spring 304 and the fourth compression spring 306 are respectively mounted on both ends of the second fixed shaft 302.

[0052] The first and second fixed shafts 301 and 302 pass through the first and second adaptive assemblies 201 and 202, respectively, saving space. The first fixed shaft 301 guides the first and third compression springs 303 and 305, while the second fixed shaft 302 guides the second and fourth compression springs 304 and 306.

[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, the first adaptive component 201 and the second adaptive component 202 are cross-arranged and rotatably connected by an intermediate pin shaft 203. The first adaptive component 201 and the second adaptive component 202 are both provided with a clamping linear groove at one end away from the detection part 4. The first fixed shaft 301 and the second fixed shaft 302 pass through the clamping linear groove to limit the movement of the first adaptive component 201 and the second adaptive component 202.

[0054] The middle pin 203 and the tightening linear groove simultaneously limit the first adaption component 201 and the second adaption component 202 in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the pipeline, thereby preventing the first adaption component 201 and the second adaption component 202 from being displaced parallel to the axial direction of the pipeline when in use.

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, the detection part 4 includes a first detection component, a second detection component and a third detection component. The first detection component is arranged at one end of the first adaptation component 201 close to the pipe, the second detection component is arranged at one end of the cam rod 206 close to the pipe, and the third detection component is arranged at one end of the second adaptation component 202 close to the pipe. The first detection component, the second detection component and the third detection component are all used to measure the thickness of the pipe.

[0056] Optionally, the first detection assembly includes a first connecting plate 405, a first thickness gauge 406, a third universal roller 407, and a fourth universal roller 408. The first connecting plate 405 is fixedly connected to the first adapting assembly 201, and the first thickness gauge 406, the third universal roller 407, and the fourth universal roller 408 are all mounted on the first connecting plate 405. The first thickness gauge 406 can detect the wall thickness of the pipe. The third universal roller 407 and the fourth universal roller 408 can limit the distance between the first thickness gauge 406 and the pipe, and enable the adaptive pipe diameter thickness detection device to perform circumferential and axial movement relative to the pipe.

[0057] The second detection assembly includes a second connecting plate 409, a second thickness gauge 410, a fifth universal roller 411, and a sixth universal roller 412. The second thickness gauge 410, the fifth universal roller 411, and the sixth universal roller 412 are all mounted on the second connecting plate 409. The second thickness gauge 410 can detect the wall thickness of the pipe. The fifth universal roller 411 and the sixth universal roller 412 can limit the distance between the second thickness gauge 410 and the pipe, and enable the adaptive pipe diameter thickness detection device to perform circumferential and axial movement relative to the pipe.

[0058] The third detection assembly includes a third connecting plate 401, a third thickness gauge 402, a first universal roller 403, and a second universal roller 404. The third thickness gauge 402, the first universal roller 403, and the second universal roller 404 are all mounted on the third connecting plate. The third thickness gauge 402 can detect the wall thickness of the pipe. The first universal roller 403 and the second universal roller 404 can limit the distance between the third thickness gauge 402 and the pipe, and enable the adaptive pipe diameter thickness detection device to move circumferentially and axially relative to the pipe.

[0059] According to another aspect of the present invention, a wall-climbing robot is provided, including the aforementioned adaptive pipe thickness detection device. The wall-climbing robot can be moved to perform inspections on pipes at different locations. The wall-climbing robot includes a movable chassis, and the adaptive pipe thickness detection device is movably mounted on the chassis.
