According to the in-service inspection specifications for nuclear power operation, this area must be inspected regularly, and pipeline welds are mostly inspected by two volumetric methods: ultrasonic inspection and radiographic inspection.

[0003] When the pipeline welds are inspected by radiography, according to the standard requirements, the butt welds of pipes with a diameter greater than 89 mm generally adopt the double-wall single-shadow radiography method.

[0032] The left and right pressing rods of the film fixing device 101 and the plate connected to the radiation source linkage device 102 are an integrated structure, and the first sliding block 13 and the second sliding block 14 are of the same structure.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the radiation source linkage device 102 includes a radiation source linkage elbow 24, a source fixing clamp 25 and a source fixing screw 26. One end of the radiation source linkage elbow 24 is connected to a semicircular source fixing clamp 25, and the source fixing screw 26 is installed on the source fixing clamp 25. The source fixing screw 26 can be screwed into the source fixing clamp 25. The radiation source linkage elbow 24 is connected to the film fixing device 101 through the radiation source linkage elbow bolt 35. The other end of the source fixing clamp 25 is where the radiation source is placed.

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, the slide rail 7 is a V-shaped groove made of resin material. The resin material can ensure the strength while making the slide rail 7 close to the pipe wall.

[0043] 5) The first slider 13 and the second slider 14 connect the film fixing device 1 to the V-shaped slide rail 7 via pulleys (a first pulley 27, a second pulley 28, a third pulley 29 and a fourth pulley 30).

[0044] 6) The slider positioning pin 17 is inserted into the slider positioning hole 31 on the track surface to achieve rapid movement and fixation of the sliding mechanism.

[0045] 7) Rotate the clamping rod to rotate the joint connection bolt 33, so that the bottom plate fixing device 101 is perpendicular to the pipeline surface as a whole, and fix the bottom plate on the bottom plate fixing device 101 through the bottom plate fixing hook.
