The manual quantitative ultrasonic detection device for defects of thin special structure fillet welds according to claim 4 is characterized in that: The ultrasonic pulse transceiver mechanism (4) is controlled to move via a Y-axis motion mechanism (5), and is suitable for a structure in which the internal space of a workpiece (2) to be measured is small and a receiving probe cannot be installed; the connecting rod (5.1) of the Y-axis motion mechanism (5) is threadedly connected to a crossbeam (5.2), the crossbeam (5.2) is bolted to a slider (5.4) and then installed on a slide rail (5.5), the slide rail (5.5) is bolted to a base (5.3), and drives the ultrasonic excitation probe (4.1) to move in the same direction along the surface of the workpiece (2) to be measured; the base (5.3) and the workpiece (2) to be measured are tightly fitted via a second vacuum suction cup (5.6), thereby ensuring the stability of data during scanning.
6. The manual quantitative ultrasonic detection device for defects of thin special structure fillet welds according to claim 4 is characterized in that: The ultrasonic pulse transceiver mechanism (4) is controlled in motion by a height position adjustment mechanism (7), and is suitable for a structure with a large internal space of a workpiece (2) to be measured; the Y-axis connecting rod (7.1) and the Z-axis connecting rod (7.3) of the height position adjustment mechanism (7) are nested in a converter (7.2), and the moving distance of the ultrasonic excitation probe (4.1) is adjusted through the through hole of the connecting rod, so as to push the converter (7.2) to control the Y-axis movement of the ultrasonic pulse transceiver mechanism (4); the height position adjustment mechanism (7) is a vertical structure, and the Y-axis connecting rod (7.1) and the Z-axis connecting rod (7.3) thereof form a vertical structure with the workpiece (2) to be measured after contacting each other, thereby ensuring the stability of the manual quantitative ultrasonic detection device during the detection process.
7. The manual quantitative ultrasonic detection device for defects of thin special structure fillet welds according to claim 3 is characterized by: The ultrasonic pulse transceiver mechanism (4) comprises an ultrasonic excitation probe (4.1), a rubber wheel (4.2), a spring (4.3) and an excitation probe fixing seat (4.4); after the rubber wheel (4.2) and the spring (4.3) are installed on the excitation probe fixing seat (4.4), the ultrasonic excitation probe (4.1) is installed to realize the up and down floating function of the ultrasonic excitation probe (4.1), so that the ultrasonic excitation probe (4.1) and the workpiece (2) to be measured are tightly and flexibly coupled to facilitate stable scanning.
