Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of stainless steel pipe detection, in particular to an ultrasonic nondestructive detection mechanism for inner and outer pipe walls of a stainless steel pipe. Background Art
[0002] In the production and use of stainless steel pipelines, quality inspection is a key link to ensure the safety and reliability of pipelines. Traditional transmission inspection structures often face many challenges in practical applications.
[0003] Traditional conveying detection structures often rely on transmission devices such as mechanical rollers or conveyor belts when conveying stainless steel pipes. However, these devices are easily affected by factors such as conveying inertia, uneven friction, and material surface characteristics during operation, resulting in discontinuities such as slipping and setbacks during the conveying process. This discontinuous conveying will directly affect the detection effect of the ultrasonic detector, because the emission and reception of ultrasonic waves require a stable conveying speed and precise positioning. Setbacks and slippage during the conveying process will cause the interruption or overlap of the ultrasonic detection signal, which will in turn cause the quality of the detection image to decrease and fail to accurately reflect the actual condition inside the pipeline. In ultrasonic non-destructive testing, the layout and arrangement of the detectors are also important factors affecting the detection effect. Traditional methods often use single or multiple detectors arranged along the circumferential direction of the outer wall of the stainless steel pipe. However, this arrangement has obvious limitations. First, due to the layout direction and arrangement problems between the detectors, it is often difficult to ensure that the detection signal is fully covered on the pipeline surface. Especially when there are gaps between adjacent detectors, these gap areas are prone to become detection blind areas, resulting in the inability to effectively detect potential defects. Secondly, the detection range and accuracy of a single detector are limited, and the detection effect for complex-shaped pipes or tiny defects may not be satisfactory.
[0004] In view of this, research and improvement are carried out on the existing problems, and an ultrasonic non-destructive detection mechanism for the inner and outer walls of stainless steel pipes is provided to solve the current problems.

[0047] The working principle and use process of the present invention:
[0048] Pipe delivery assembly 200: It is composed of a clamping seat 210 and a clamping hoop 220. The clamping seat with a two-petal structure is fastened by the clamping hoop to form an annular structure, which abuts against the driving roller 110 on the detection base 100 to realize the rolling drive of the stainless steel pipe. Conveying wheel group 300: It is evenly distributed on the inner side of the pipe delivery assembly, including a positioning strip 310, a wheel seat 320, an omnidirectional wheel 330 and a first adjustment rod 340. The omnidirectional wheel is driven by a motor 321 and can roll on the surface of the detection base. At the same time, the first adjustment rod can adjust the contact effect between the omnidirectional wheel and the surface of the steel pipe to ensure adaptability to steel pipes of different specifications, improve the contact effect, and avoid friction and slippage. Detection assembly 400: It includes a fixed plate 410, a scissor-type connecting rod 420, an ultrasonic detector 430 and a second adjustment rod 440. The ultrasonic detector is an arc-shaped plate structure, which is used to perform ultrasonic detection on the inner and outer walls of the stainless steel pipe; the scissor-fork connecting rod 420: an X-shaped structure is formed by the movable connecting rod, and under the drive of the second adjusting rod, the ultrasonic detector moves along the radial direction of the fixed plate, thereby adjusting the distance between the ultrasonic detector and the surface of the stainless steel pipe, and adapting to steel pipes of different specifications;
[0049] The stainless steel pipe to be tested is passed through the pipe conveying assembly 200, and the steel pipe is clamped by the clamp 220 and the clamp seat 210. The motor 321 in the conveying wheel group 300 is started to drive the omnidirectional wheel 330 to rotate to realize the uniform speed conveyance of the steel pipe. The ultrasonic detector 430 starts to work, emitting ultrasonic waves and receiving reflected signals. During the detection process, the ultrasonic detector continuously collects ultrasonic signals from the inner and outer walls of the steel pipe, amplifies the collected signals, adjusts the gain, etc., so as to more clearly display the internal structure and defects of the steel pipe, analyzes the waveform and data, determines whether the steel pipe has defects, and determines the location and type of the defects.
