Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of welding detection, in particular to nondestructive detection equipment for pressure vessel welds. Background Art

[0002] Pressure vessel weld refers to the joint part where different metal plates, pipes or other metal parts are connected together by welding process during the manufacturing process of pressure vessels. In the manufacturing of pressure vessels, the quality of welds is very important because it is directly related to the strength, sealing and safety of the container. During the welding process, due to the influence of various factors, welds may have various defects, such as pores, slag inclusions, incomplete penetration, cracks, etc.

[0003] Using flaw detectors to conduct nondestructive testing on pressure vessel welds is a key link in ensuring their quality and safety. Nondestructive testing technology is to detect internal or surface defects without damaging or affecting the performance of the object being tested. Flaw detectors use different physical principles for testing. For example, ultrasonic flaw detectors emit ultrasonic waves to the welds. When ultrasonic waves encounter defects, they will produce reflection, refraction and other phenomena. Receiving reflected waves and analyzing signals can determine the location, size and other information of the defects. X-ray flaw detectors use rays to penetrate the welds, and form images on the detector based on the difference in the degree of absorption of rays inside the welds, thereby discovering internal defects. Magnetic particle testing is to magnetize the welds. If there are defects, the magnetic lines of force will be distorted to produce leakage magnetic fields. After the magnetic particles are adsorbed, the defect location can be displayed. Penetrant testing is to apply penetrants to the surface of the welds, use capillary phenomena to make the penetrants penetrate the defects, and then use developers to display the shape and location of the defects. These flaw detection methods can effectively detect weld defects and ensure that pressure vessels can operate safely and reliably after being put into use.

[0004] The Chinese patent with the announcement number "CN221594983U" discloses a non-destructive testing device for special equipment, which drives the probe to detect the weld by a moving component. At the same time, the absorbent cotton at the end of the fixed cylinder can mark the area around the weld. When the probe encounters a bulge in the weld during the detection process, the bulge of the weld will press the probe, causing the probe to expand and contract adaptively, thereby prompting the adjustment component to drive the two sliders to move up and down, stretching the absorbent cotton in the middle, increasing the width of the absorbent cotton marking, and combining the trajectory of the marking, the location of the weld bulge can be clearly seen. Therefore, the bulge is subjected to secondary detection, thereby improving the detection quality, enhancing the accuracy of the detection data, and improving the production quality of the workpiece;

[0005] However, although the above-mentioned device can perform 360-degree rotation detection, there are some shortcomings in the specific detection process. First, the equipment has problems when adjusting the height. During the welding process of the pressure vessel, the weld is usually at different heights. Although the above-mentioned equipment is provided with a height adjustment structure, manual adjustment is usually required during the detection and adjustment process, and rapid adjustment and detection cannot be achieved. Secondly, its entire detection structure is suspended directly above the clamping structure. When it is necessary to inspect the lower end of the outer surface of the pressure vessel, if the height is adjusted to a lower state, the suspended detection mechanism will contact the top of the pressure vessel, thereby affecting its continued adjustment. It can be seen that the existing equipment has certain defects and shortcomings in the overall detection process, and it is obviously impossible to perform auxiliary detection of the outer surface of the pressure vessel more flexibly and accurately. This limitation may lead to low detection efficiency and insufficient accuracy, and may even affect the quality and safety of the pressure vessel. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the equipment to meet the higher requirements for the detection of the outer surface of the pressure vessel. Summary of the invention

The fixing frame 331 in the power assembly 33 is welded and installed in the middle of the bottom of the top frame 4, providing a firm installation position for components such as the fourth motor 333 and the bevel gear 332. The bevel gear 332 is rotatably connected to each surface in the square groove 32, and the outer side is fixedly connected to the inner end of the power screw rod 34, so that multiple bevel gears 332 can rotate synchronously, thereby realizing the synchronous movement of the movable blocks 35 in four directions. The fourth motor 333 is installed at the bottom of the fixed frame 331 by bolts, which is convenient for installation and disassembly and maintenance. The output end of the fourth motor 333 is meshed with the bevel gear ring 334 installed by bolts and connected with the bevel gear 332. When the fourth motor 333 is started, it can accurately drive the bevel gear 332 to rotate, and then drive the power screw 34 to rotate, so as to realize the movement of the movable block 35. This transmission method is stable and reliable, and can ensure that the clamping plate 36 can stably clamp pressure vessels of different sizes, providing a stable environment for the detection process. In short, the design of the clamping device 3 can adapt to pressure vessels of different sizes and ensure the stability of the pressure vessel during the detection process.

[0038] The working principle of the present invention is: by setting the clamping device 3 and the power assembly 33 to cooperate with each other, the pressure vessel can be placed in the middle position of the top of the top frame 4 during actual use of the device. At this time, the fourth motor 333 is started, and the fourth motor 333 drives the bevel gear ring 334 to rotate. Since the bevel gear ring 334 is meshed and connected with the bevel gear 332, the bevel gear ring 334 and the bevel gear 332 are meshed and driven by the mutual meshing transmission, the four bevel gears 332 can be synchronously driven to rotate. After the four bevel gears 332 rotate, they can assist in driving the power screw 34 to rotate inside the slide groove 31, and the power screw When the motor 34 rotates, it can assist in driving the interactive block to slide synchronously inside the slide slot 31, and the fourth motor 333 synchronously drives the four movable blocks 35 to slide inside the slide slot 31, thereby assisting in synchronously driving the four clamping plates 36 to interact reciprocally. The four clamping plates 36 are synchronously displaced, which can enable the four clamping plates 36 to clamp and position the pressure vessel in the middle position. By adjusting the reciprocating displacement of the four clamping plates 36, it can assist in stably clamping and positioning pressure vessels of different sizes, greatly improving the overall adaptability of the device during application, and providing a reliable guarantee for the stable fixation of the pressure vessel.

[0039] By setting up the detection device 2, the device can be carried out during the actual application. When the pressure vessel is stably positioned and clamped, the flaw detector 24 can be started to run, and then the second motor 232 is started. At this time, the second motor 232 drives the transverse screw rod 233 to rotate, and then drives the transverse block 234 to slide. During the sliding process of the transverse block 234, the connecting arm 235 can be driven to drive the lifting mechanism 25 to gradually approach the pressure vessel. When the detection end 263 of the detection component 26 on the lifting mechanism 25 is tightly attached to the outer surface of the pressure vessel, the weld can be accurately detected;

[0040] During the detection process, the third motor 252 can be started to run, and the third motor 252 drives the longitudinal screw rod 253 to rotate, and the rotation of the longitudinal screw rod 253 can assist in driving the longitudinal movement block 254 to slide smoothly inside the longitudinal guide rail 251. At this time, the movement of the longitudinal movement block 254 can assist in driving the detection end 263 to achieve up and down displacement. This up and down displacement function can perfectly adapt to the detection requirements of different heights of the outer surface of the pressure vessel;

[0041] Moreover, during the detection process, the first motor 2122 can be further started, and the first motor 2122 drives the spur gear 2123 to rotate. Since the spur gear 2123 is meshed and connected with the spur gear ring 213, the rotation of the spur gear 2123 can assist in driving the spur gear ring 213 to rotate inside the slide 211, and then, it can drive the lifting mechanism 25, the transverse mechanism 23 and the detection assembly 26 to rotate around the pressure vessel. At this time, the lifting mechanism 25 drives the detection end 263 to move up and down, and the transverse mechanism 23 can drive the detection end 263 to approach the pressure vessel, so as to adapt to the flaw detection of pressure vessels of different sizes;

[0042] Moreover, during the detection process, the annular driving mechanism 21 can drive the detection end 263 to rotate and displace, so that the detection end 263 of the entire flaw detector 24 can perform comprehensive detection more accurately. Overall, its detection adjustment is relatively rapid, the efficiency is extremely high, and the overall adaptability is very strong, which greatly improves the overall detection adaptability of the device;

[0043] In addition, due to the provision of the elastic member 262, during the detection process, the telescopic spring 2622 inside the sleeve frame 2621 can be reset, thereby prompting the push plate 2623 to push the connecting shaft 2624, driving the detection end 263 to be close to the outer surface of the pressure vessel. Such a design can significantly improve the detection accuracy of the detection end 263 during the detection period. It can be seen that the present equipment can greatly improve the overall detection efficiency and detection adaptability of the pressure vessel, and provide solid and powerful support for the high-quality detection of the pressure vessel.
