Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of weld detection, and particularly relates to a weld detection device for a low-vacuum pipeline of maglev transportation. Background Art
[0002] Maglev transportation uses a (low)-vacuum pipeline as the outer shell, so that the maglev transportation track is arranged inside the pipeline outer shell, and the maglev vehicle runs in an environment close to vacuum. Due to the near-vacuum inside the pipeline, the air resistance of the maglev vehicle during operation is greatly reduced, enabling it to run at a higher speed, thus forming a high-speed maglev rail transit.
[0003] The vacuum pipeline is composed of multiple round pipes welded together. When laying the vacuum pipeline, 3-5 round pipes are welded into one section of the pipeline, and then the sections are butt-welded and spliced for laying. After each section of the pipeline is welded, leak detection operations need to be carried out on its weld before laying. For product welds with high requirements for vacuum sealing performance, the helium mass spectrometer negative pressure vacuum leak detection method is usually used. The equipment components used in this leak detection method include a helium mass spectrometer leak detector, bellows, leak detection tooling, helium filling pipelines, etc. During leak detection, a long strip-shaped leak detection tooling is connected to the helium mass spectrometer leak detector through the bellows. The vacuum sealing clay is kneaded into a long strip and applied to the edge of the groove of the leak detection tooling, and then pressed on the weld to be inspected. The vacuum pump of the helium mass spectrometer leak detector is turned on to evacuate the air, and helium gas is slowly blown along the weld on the other side, and the reading of the leak detector is recorded. The advantages of this method are high accuracy, but the disadvantages are as follows:
[0004] (1) In a low-temperature environment, the vacuum sealing clay becomes harder and is not easy to deform; when the temperature is relatively high, the sealing clay becomes soft and has been sucked back into the tooling by negative pressure during the vacuum pumping process. This method is greatly affected by temperature and is inconvenient for leak detection;
[0005] (2) For each weld to be inspected, it is necessary to re-lay the vacuum sealing clay and evacuate the air, and the steps are cumbersome;
[0006] (3) There are many welds in the vacuum pipeline and the line is long. It is difficult to lay the leak detection tooling, and the existing technical means consume a large amount of helium while having a low leak detection efficiency and cannot meet the requirements of the leak detection progress;
[0007] (4) During the leak detection process, due to the obstruction of the vacuum pipeline wall, it is impossible to accurately position when laying the leak detection tooling, and there is a situation where the leak detection tooling inside and outside the vacuum pipeline is misaligned with each other. The helium gas slowly blown along the weld cannot be detected by the helium mass spectrometer leak detector, affecting the detection accuracy. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a weld detection device for a low-vacuum pipeline of maglev transportation, which solves the problems that the leak detection tooling in the prior art is greatly affected by temperature, the leak detection steps are cumbersome, the leak detection efficiency is low, and the leak detection tooling inside and outside the vacuum pipeline is misaligned with each other.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows:
[0019] (1) Through the setting of the rolling structure, the vacuum pipeline is driven to roll slowly. During the weld leak detection process by the helium mass spectrometer leak detector, the staff only needs to perform fixed-point leak detection on one side of the vacuum pipeline. When changing the weld leak detection position, the vacuum pipeline is rolled through the rolling structure, and the staff does not need to lay leak detection tools around the weld. The laying is easier, the steps of laying leak detection tools are simplified, leak detection is convenient, and the leak detection efficiency is improved.
[0020] (2) Through the setting of the peripheral cavity of the suction gun cover box, the sealant in the silicone sealant tube is squeezed into the cavity through the insertion nozzle. The periphery of the contact between the suction gun cover box and the vacuum pipeline is sealed by the sealant in the cavity. When the sealant solidifies and forms to seal the contact between the suction gun cover boxes, the vacuum is sucked in the suction gun cover box, which improves its sealing effect and indirectly improves the accuracy of weld leak detection. Using sealant to seal is not affected by temperature and is convenient for leak detection.
[0021] (3) Through the setting of the magnet blocks at the four corners of the cavity, the iron powder scattered from the funnel-shaped blanking box is adsorbed and fixed on the inner wall of the vacuum pipeline by the four magnet blocks. The specific position of the suction gun cover box outside the vacuum pipeline is determined by observing the positions of the four adsorbed iron powders on the inner wall of the vacuum pipeline. The helium cover box inside the vacuum pipeline and the suction gun cover box outside the vacuum pipeline are relatively matched to avoid misalignment between the helium cover box and the suction gun cover box inside and outside the vacuum pipeline.

[0042] Working principle: When detecting the weld of the vacuum pipe 1, as Figure 1 - Figure 2 , Figure 11 - Figure 12 shown, the vacuum pipe 1 is placed on two rolling structures 52. During the weld leak detection process of the helium mass spectrometer leak detector 4, the staff only needs to perform the leak detection operation at a fixed point on one side of the vacuum pipe 1.
[0043] Place the working platform 33 inside the vacuum pipeline 1, set the helium hood box 49 opposite to the weld seam, place the helium mass spectrometry leak detection structure 2 outside the vacuum pipeline 1, make the first arc-shaped plate 6 closely adhere to the outer wall of the vacuum pipeline 1, and at the same time set the suction gun hood box 13 opposite to the weld seam. Control the telescopic end of the first hydraulic cylinder 9 to extend, so that the suction gun hood box 13 closely adheres to the outer wall of the vacuum pipeline 1. Control the telescopic end of the second hydraulic cylinder 23 to extend, insert the end of the insertion nozzle 31 into the cavity 15 through the first jack 18, and at the same time pass through the second jack 19 on the push plate 16. At this time, control the telescopic end of the second electric telescopic rod 28 to slowly extend, use the pressure plate 29 to push the piston in the silicone sealant tube 30, and squeeze the sealant in the silicone sealant tube 30 into the cavity 15 through the insertion nozzle 31. The sealant solidifies and forms to seal the contact area between the suction gun hood box 13 and the vacuum pipeline 1. At this time, pull the closing plug plate 42 to release the iron powder in the funnel-shaped blanking box 41. The iron powder slides along the inner arc surface of the vacuum pipeline 1. When the iron powder passes through the corresponding position of the suction gun hood box 13, the four magnet blocks 60 adsorb and fix a part of the iron powder on the inner wall of the vacuum pipeline 1. Determine the specific position of the suction gun hood box 13 outside the vacuum pipeline 1 by observing the position of the adsorbed iron powder on the inner wall of the vacuum pipeline 1. Slide the arc-shaped mounting rack 43 through the handle 46 to align the helium hood box 49 between the adsorbed iron powders on the inner wall of the vacuum pipeline 1. The helium hood box 49 inside the vacuum pipeline 1 and the suction gun hood box 13 outside the vacuum pipeline 1 cooperate with each other. Control the telescopic end of the third hydraulic cylinder 48 to extend, so that the helium hood box 49 closely adheres to the inner wall of the vacuum pipeline 1. Start the helium mass spectrometry leak detector 4. First, evacuate the inside of the suction gun hood box 13 through the suction pipe 20. After waiting for a period of time, start the helium gas filling instrument 38, and fill the helium gas into the helium hood box 49 through the gas filling pipe 51. The helium mass spectrometry leak detector 4 detects the helium gas inside the suction gun hood box 13.
[0044] After the detection is completed, control the telescopic end of the third hydraulic cylinder 48 to retract, so that the helium hood box 49 is separated from the inner wall of the vacuum pipeline 1. Control the telescopic end of the first hydraulic cylinder 9 to retract, so that the suction gun hood box 13 is separated from the outer wall of the vacuum pipeline 1. Control the telescopic end of the first electric telescopic rod 17 to extend, and push out the sealant in the cavity 15 through the push plate 16 to prepare for the next leak detection operation.
