DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0033] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, in the description of the present invention, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
[0034] See also Figure 1 to Figure 15 The present invention provides an automatic ultrasonic detection system for short-sized pipes, including a linear module material-dispensing mechanism 101, a feeding material-dispensing mechanism 102, a detection mechanism 103, and a discharging and sorting mechanism 104; the feeding material-dispensing mechanism 102 is used to move the pipe to one side of the linear module material-dispensing mechanism 101, and the linear module material-dispensing mechanism 101 is used to lift the pipe and move it to one side of the detection mechanism 103; the detection mechanism 103 is used to clamp the pipe and perform detection to identify the pipe detection result, and the pipe detection result includes qualified and unqualified; the linear module material-dispensing mechanism 101 is also used to lift and move the pipe after detection to the discharging and sorting mechanism 104; the discharging and sorting mechanism 104 is used to classify the pipe based on the pipe detection result.
[0035] In this embodiment, the feed and feed mechanism 102 lifts the pipe to be tested from the initial position and moves it precisely next to the linear module feed mechanism 101. Next, the pipes are fed into the testing mechanism 103, where they are subjected to strict ultrasonic inspection. The testing mechanism 103 can not only firmly clamp each pipe, but also use advanced ultrasonic technology to comprehensively scan the internal structure of the pipe to determine whether it meets the preset quality standards. According to the results of the ultrasonic test, each pipe will be marked as one of the two states: qualified or unqualified. After the test is completed, the linear module feed mechanism 101 plays a role again, this time to move the tested pipes to the discharge sorting mechanism 104. Based on the previously obtained test results, the discharge sorting mechanism 104 intelligently distinguishes and guides qualified and unqualified pipes into their respective storage areas.
[0036] The above structure can be used to conveniently and automatically detect pipes, thereby improving detection efficiency.
[0037] The short-gauge pipe automatic ultrasonic detection system further includes a qualified material storage mechanism 105 and an unqualified material storage mechanism 106; the qualified material storage mechanism 105 is used to store qualified pipes; the unqualified material storage mechanism 106 is used to store unqualified pipes.
[0038] In order to facilitate subsequent processing, the system is also equipped with two independent storage mechanisms: one is the qualified storage mechanism 105, which is used to store all high-quality pipes that have been tested and confirmed to be correct; the other is the unqualified storage mechanism 106, which is used to isolate those defective products that fail to meet quality requirements. This arrangement not only simplifies the logistics management on the production line, but also helps to quickly respond to quality problems and adjust production process parameters in time, thereby ensuring the high-quality output of the final product.
[0039] The feeding and discharging mechanism 102 includes a bracket group 107, a material blocking assembly 108, an inclined panel 109 and a material pushing assembly 110; the inclined panel 109 is tilted and fixed to the bracket group 107, and the material pushing assembly 110 is arranged on the lower side of the inclined panel 109. Under the action of gravity, the pipe moves along the inclined panel 109 to the material pushing assembly 110, and then is lifted by the material pushing assembly 110; the material blocking assembly 108 is slidably arranged on both sides of the inclined panel 109, and is used to adjust the moving space on the inclined panel 109 according to the specifications of the pipe.
[0040] The inclined panel 109 is fixed on the bracket group 107 and maintains a certain inclination angle. This design utilizes the principle of gravity, allowing the pipe to slide naturally to the lower side without additional power. The push assembly 110 is set at this lower position and is responsible for finally lifting the pipe and sending it to the subsequent processing steps. In order to accommodate pipes of different specifications, adjustable stop assemblies 108 are installed on both sides of the inclined panel 109. They can adjust the moving space on the inclined panel 109 according to specific needs to ensure that each pipe can reach the designated position smoothly and stably.
[0041] The material blocking assembly 108 includes two material blocking plates 201 and an adjusting screw 202 . The two material blocking plates 201 are slidably disposed on both sides of the inclined panel 109 . The adjusting screw 202 has two opposite threads. The adjusting screw 202 is threadedly connected to the two material blocking plates 201 .
[0042] The material blocking assembly 108 is composed of two material blocking plates 201 and an adjusting screw 202. The two material blocking plates 201 are respectively located on both sides of the inclined panel 109, and the position can be flexibly adjusted through the slide rail. The adjusting screw 202 passes through the two material blocking plates 201 and adopts a two-section thread design in opposite directions. When the adjusting screw 202 is turned, it will simultaneously push or pull the two material blocking plates 201 closer, thereby changing the distance between the two.
[0043] The material blocking assembly 108 further includes an adjusting handle 203 , and the adjusting handle 203 is fixed to the adjusting screw 202 .
[0044] An adjusting handle 203 is also installed on the adjusting screw 202, and the operator can easily adjust the position of the baffle plate 201 by rotating the handle to adapt to pipes of different diameters or lengths and ensure their correct alignment and guidance on the inclined panel 109.
[0045] The pushing assembly 110 includes a lifting cylinder 204, a lifting plate 205 and a discharge hook 206. The lifting plate 205 is slidably arranged on the lower side of the inclined panel 109. The output end of the lifting cylinder 204 is connected to the lifting plate 205. The discharge hook 206 is fixed on one side of the inclined panel 109.
[0046] The lifting plate 205 is located on one side of the lower end of the inclined panel 109 and can slide in the vertical direction. The lifting cylinder 204 is used as a power source, and its output end is connected to the lifting plate 205 to provide the necessary lifting force. When the pipe needs to be processed, the lifting cylinder 204 drives the lifting plate 205 to move upward and lift the pipe through the convex rod on the top.
[0047] A plurality of first grooves 207 are disposed on the inclined panel 109 , and a plurality of protruding rods are disposed on the top of the lifting plate 205 . The plurality of protruding rods pass through the first grooves 207 to lift up the pipes.
[0048] These protruding rods pass through the first grooves 207 pre-set on the inclined panel 109, ensuring the accuracy of each lifting action.
[0049] The top end of the protruding rod has a first inclined surface 208 , and the discharge hook 206 has a groove 209 , so that the pipe can fall into the groove 209 along the first inclined surface 208 and be placed.
[0050] The discharge hook 206 fixed to one side of the inclined panel 109 has a special groove 209, which is designed in conjunction with the first inclined surface 208 at the top of the protruding rod, so that the pipe can be smoothly transferred into the discharge hook 206 under the action of gravity after being lifted.
[0051] The linear module material shifting mechanism 101 includes a transverse support member 111, a feed grabbing assembly 112 and a discharge grabbing assembly 113;
[0052] The feed grabbing assembly 112 moves along the transverse support 111 to grab the pipe lifted by the pushing assembly 110 and move it to the detection mechanism 103; the discharge grabbing assembly 113 is used to move along the transverse support 111 to grab the pipe that has been inspected and move it to the discharge sorting mechanism 104.
[0053] The lateral support 111 serves as the skeleton of the entire system. The lateral support 111 provides a stable basic structure to ensure that all moving components can slide smoothly on it. In order to ensure stability and reliability under long-term use, the lateral support 111 is usually made of high-strength alloy material and is precisely processed to ensure that it has sufficient strength and straightness.
[0054] The feed grab assembly 112 receives the lifted pipe from the push assembly 110 and accurately transports it to the detection mechanism 103. Through an electric or pneumatic drive system, the feed grab assembly 112 can be accurately positioned on the transverse support 111. The drive system usually includes a servo motor or a linear actuator, which can provide fast and stable movement performance.
[0055] When the specified position is reached, the feed grabbing assembly 112 performs the grabbing action. This step requires extremely high precision because it is necessary to ensure that the pipe can be correctly grabbed every time without causing any damage. To this end, the grabbing assembly is equipped with advanced sensors and feedback control systems that can adjust the grabbing force in real time to adapt to pipes of different specifications.
[0056] After successful grasping, the feed grasping assembly 112 continues to move along the transverse support 111 until the pipe is placed at a predetermined position of the detection mechanism 103. During the whole process, the grasping assembly must remain stable to prevent damage or displacement of the pipe due to shaking or accidental collision.
[0057] The feed grabbing assembly 112 includes a transverse moving member 301, a mounting seat 302, a longitudinal moving member 303 and a clamp 304. The transverse moving member 301 is slidably arranged on the transverse support member 111, the mounting seat 302 is fixed to the transverse moving member 301, the longitudinal moving member 303 is slidably arranged on the mounting seat 302, and the clamp 304 is rotatably arranged on the longitudinal moving member 303.
[0058] The lateral moving member 301 is mounted on the lateral support member 111 and can slide along its length. Through an electric or pneumatic drive system, the lateral moving member 301 can be accurately positioned to ensure that it can reach the predetermined position correctly every time. The mounting seat 302 is fixed on the lateral moving member 301 and serves as a carrier for the longitudinal moving member 303 and other related components. The design of the mounting seat 302 needs to consider strength and flexibility to facilitate assembly and maintenance.
[0059] The longitudinal moving member 303 is slidably arranged on the mounting seat 302 and can move up and down in the vertical direction. This design allows the clamping jaw 304 to adjust the height to adapt to pipes of different sizes and ensure the accuracy of each grasping action.
[0060] The clamping claw 304 includes a supporting plate 305, a rotating claw 306 and a driving member 307. The supporting plate 305 is fixed on the longitudinal moving member 303. The rotating claw 306 is rotatably arranged on one side of the supporting plate 305. The driving member 307 is used to drive the search rotating claw 306 to rotate.
[0061] The clamping jaw 304 is the part that directly contacts the pipe, and is composed of a support plate 305, a rotating jaw 306, and a driving member 307. The support plate 305 is fixed on the longitudinal moving member 303 to provide a stable base for the rotating jaw 306; the driving member 307 is used to operate the opening and closing action of the rotating jaw 306.
[0062] The claw 306 has a plurality of teeth 308 .
[0063] The rotating claw 306 has a plurality of teeth 308, which can stably fix the surface of the pipe to prevent sliding.
[0064] The driving member 307 includes a control cylinder 309, a push rod 310 and a rotating shaft 311. The control cylinder 309 is rotatably arranged on the support plate 305. The push rod 310 is connected to the output end of the control cylinder 309. The rotating shaft 311 is rotatably connected to the push rod 310 and is connected to the rotating claw 306.
[0065] Specifically, the control cylinder 309 is connected to the push rod 310 through the output end, and the push rod 310 is connected to the rotating shaft 311, which finally drives the rotating claw 306 to rotate. Such a transmission mechanism ensures that the movement of the rotating claw 306 is both rapid and stable.
[0066] The working principle of the outgoing material grabbing assembly 113 is similar to that of the incoming material grabbing assembly 112, but it is mainly responsible for transferring the inspected tubes from the inspection mechanism 103 to the outgoing material sorting mechanism 104. This also involves precise movement along the transverse support 111 and stable grabbing and releasing of the tubes. In order to ensure that tubes of different states (qualified or unqualified) can be correctly classified, the outgoing material grabbing assembly 113 may adjust its movement path or target position according to the inspection results.
[0067] When the pipe is ready for testing, the transverse moving member 301 of the feed gripping assembly 112 first slides along the transverse support 111 to the position of the pusher assembly 110. At this time, the longitudinal moving member 303 descends so that the clamping jaws 304 can contact the pipe, and then the driving member 307 is activated, and the rotating claws 306 are closed by the control cylinder 309 to firmly grasp the pipe. Then, the longitudinal moving member 303 rises to lift the pipe, and the transverse moving member 301 continues to slide along the transverse support 111 until it reaches the front of the detection mechanism 103. Here, the pipe is placed in the detection position and begins to be subjected to ultrasonic testing.
[0068] After the inspection is completed, the material grabbing assembly 113 takes over. It repeats similar steps, but this time it grabs the tube from the inspection mechanism 103 and sends it to the corresponding material sorting mechanism 104 according to the pre-set logic (for example, based on the inspection results). Whether the tube is qualified or unqualified, it will be safely transferred to the corresponding storage mechanism, completing the material handling task in the entire inspection process.
[0069] The detection mechanism 103 includes a detection support 114, a horizontal moving mechanism 115, an active rotating mechanism 116, a clamping mechanism 117, a driven rotating mechanism 118 and a detector 119; the horizontal moving mechanism 115 is arranged on the detection support 114, and is used to adjust the horizontal position of the active rotating mechanism 116; the clamping mechanism 117 is used to drive the driven rotating mechanism 118 to move so as to clamp the pipe placed between the active rotating mechanism 116 and the driven rotating mechanism 118; the active rotating mechanism 116 is used to drive the pipe to rotate, and the detector 119 is used to detect the rotating pipe.
[0070] The detection support 114, as the basic structure of the entire detection mechanism 103, provides a stable support platform to ensure that all other components can operate in a stable working environment. It is usually made of high-strength materials and undergoes strict processing to ensure its reliability and accuracy under long-term use. The horizontal movement mechanism 115 is set on the detection support 114 to adjust the horizontal position of the active rotation mechanism 116 to adapt to pipes of different lengths or diameters. The active rotation mechanism 116 is a key part that drives the pipe to rotate. It ensures that the pipe can rotate evenly during the detection process, so that the detector 119 can scan the surface of the pipe in all directions. The function of the clamping mechanism 117 is to drive the driven rotation mechanism 118 to move to clamp the pipe placed between the active rotation mechanism 116 and the driven rotation mechanism 118 to ensure that the pipe remains stable during the detection process. The driven rotation mechanism 118 cooperates with the active rotation mechanism 116 to complete the clamping and rotation of the pipe. The detector 119 uses ultrasonic technology to carefully inspect the rotating pipe to identify any potential defects or quality problems. The detector 119 is usually equipped with a highly sensitive sensor and a signal processing unit, which can collect data and analyze the results in real time, and finally determine whether the pipe is qualified.
[0071] The horizontal moving mechanism 115 includes a horizontal motor 401, a horizontal screw 402 and an active base plate 403. The active base plate 403 is slidably arranged on the detection support 114. The horizontal screw 402 is threadedly connected to the active base plate 403. The output end of the horizontal motor 401 is fixedly connected to the horizontal screw 402.
[0072] The horizontal motor 401 provides a power source to drive the horizontal screw 402 to rotate. The horizontal screw 402 is connected to the active base plate 403 by threads. When the horizontal motor 401 drives the screw to rotate, the active base plate 403 slides along the screw direction to achieve horizontal displacement. The active base plate 403 is slidably arranged on the detection support 114, carrying all components of the active rotation mechanism 116. Driven by the horizontal screw 402, the active base plate 403 can achieve precise horizontal movement on the detection support 114 so as to position the pipe to the best detection position.
[0073] The active rotating mechanism 116 includes an active motor 404, an active pulley 405, a synchronous belt 406, a driven pulley 407, an active taper sleeve 408 and an active taper handle 409. The driven pulley 407 is rotatably arranged on the active base plate 403. The active pulley 405 is connected to the driven pulley 407 through the synchronous belt 406. The output end of the active motor 404 is connected to the active pulley 405. The active taper sleeve 408 is fixed in the driven pulley 407, and the active taper handle 409 is detachably connected to the active taper sleeve 408.
[0074] The driving motor 404 is the core component that provides the rotational power. The driving pulley 405 and the driven pulley 407 are connected by a synchronous belt 406 to form a transmission chain, which transmits the power of the driving motor 404 to the driven pulley 407. The driving cone sleeve 408 is fixed in the driven pulley 407, and the driving cone handle 409 is detachably connected to it. This design facilitates the replacement of pipe adapters of different specifications to adapt to pipes of various sizes.
[0075] The clamping mechanism 117 includes a driven mechanism forward device 410, a clamping cylinder 411 and a clamping plate 412. The driven mechanism forward device 410 is slidably arranged on the detection support 114, the clamping cylinder 411 is fixed to the driven mechanism forward device 410, and the clamping plate 412 is connected to the output end of the clamping cylinder 411.
[0076] The driven mechanism advancer 410 is slidably disposed on the detection support 114, providing a moving track for the driven rotating mechanism 118. The pressing cylinder 411 is fixed on the driven mechanism advancer 410, and pushes the clamping plate 412 forward by pneumatic pressure. The clamping plate 412 is connected to the output end of the clamping cylinder 411, directly acting on the driven rotating mechanism 118, and applying sufficient force to clamp the pipe.
[0077] The driven rotating mechanism 118 includes a rotating sleeve 413, a driven taper sleeve 414 and a driven taper handle 415. The rotating sleeve 413 is rotatably arranged on the clamping plate 412, the driven taper sleeve 414 is fixed to the rotating sleeve 413, and the driven taper handle 415 is detachably connected to the driven taper sleeve 414.
[0078] The rotating sleeve 413 is mounted on the clamping plate 412, allowing the driven cone sleeve 414 to rotate freely inside it. The driven cone sleeve 414 is fixed on the rotating sleeve 413, similar to the active cone sleeve 408, and is used to accommodate and fix the driven cone handle 415. The driven cone handle 415 is detachably connected to the driven cone sleeve 414. According to different specifications of the pipe, different driven cone handles 415 can be quickly replaced to ensure a good clamping effect.
[0079] When the pipe is fed into the detection mechanism 103, the position of the active rotating mechanism 116 is first adjusted through the horizontal moving mechanism 115 to align it with the pipe. Then, the clamping mechanism 117 is started, and the clamping plate 412 is pushed forward by the tightening cylinder 411, so that the driven rotating mechanism 118 and the active rotating mechanism 116 firmly clamp the pipe. At this time, the active motor 404 starts to run, and the pipe is driven to rotate through the synchronous belt 406 transmission system. At the same time, the detector 119 starts to work, comprehensively scans the rotating pipe, and collects and analyzes the ultrasonic reflection signal. Once the detection is completed, the clamping mechanism 117 releases the pipe and prepares for the arrival of the next pipe to be inspected.
[0080] The discharge sorting mechanism 104 includes a base plate 120, a sorting plate 121 and a sorter 122. The base plate 120 is tilted on one side of the discharge grabbing assembly 113. A through groove is opened on the base plate 120. The sorting plate 121 is rotatably arranged in the through groove. The sorter 122 is used to drive the sorting plate 121 to rotate.
[0081] The bottom plate 120 is the basic structure of the entire discharge sorting mechanism 104 and is installed on one side of the discharge grabbing assembly 113 in an inclined manner. The design of this inclined angle utilizes the effect of gravity, so that the pipe can naturally slide to the designated position after being placed by the grabbing assembly. In order to achieve accurate sorting function, a through slot is opened on the bottom plate 120 to provide a rotating space for the sorting plate 121. Qualified parts are stored after passing through the through slot, and unqualified parts are stored after the through slot is opened by the rotating plate and falls from the through slot.
[0082] The sorter 122 includes a sorting cylinder 123, a pushing block 124 and a connecting block 125. The connecting block 125 is fixed to the bottom of the sorting plate 121. The sorting cylinder 123 is rotatably arranged at the bottom of the base plate 120. The pushing block 124 is connected to the output end of the sorting cylinder 123 and is rotatably connected to the connecting block 125.
[0083] The sorting cylinder 123 is used as a power source, fixed to the bottom of the base plate 120, and installed by a rotating connection, allowing the cylinder itself to be adjusted along with the angle change of the base plate 120.
[0084] The pushing block 124 is connected to the output end of the sorting cylinder 123 for transmitting power.
[0085] The connecting block 125 is fixed to the bottom of the sorting plate 121 and connected to the pushing block 124 through a rotation connection to form a complete transmission chain. When the sorting cylinder 123 is activated, it drives the connecting block 125 through the pushing block 124, thereby causing the sorting plate 121 to rotate in the through slot to complete the sorting action.
[0086] The qualified material storage mechanism 105 includes a plurality of material storage frames 126 and a driving unit 127. The plurality of material storage frames 126 are arranged on one side of the bottom plate 120. The driving unit 127 is used to drive the plurality of material storage frames 126 to move synchronously so that one material storage frame 126 switches to another when it is full.
[0087] In order to effectively manage and store qualified pipes, the system is equipped with a special qualified storage mechanism 105. The mechanism includes multiple storage frames 126 and a drive unit 127, which is intended to provide continuous and efficient storage capacity. Multiple storage frames 126 are arranged along one side of the base plate 120, and each storage frame 126 has enough capacity to store a certain number of qualified pipes. The design of these storage frames 126 takes into account the requirements of easy loading and unloading and transportation, and is usually equipped with rollers or guide rails for convenient subsequent processing. The drive unit 127 drives all storage frames 126 to move synchronously. When a storage frame 126 is full, the drive unit 127 will automatically switch to the next idle storage frame 126 to ensure that the production process will not be interrupted due to storage problems. The drive unit 127 can be driven by electric or pneumatic means, and has precise position control capabilities and reliable operating performance.
[0088] When the discharging grab assembly 113 delivers the inspected pipe to the top of the bottom plate 120, the sorter 122 is activated according to the inspection result. If it is a qualified pipe, the sorting plate 121 remains in place or is slightly adjusted so that the pipe can slide smoothly into the corresponding qualified storage frame 126. Once the current storage frame 126 is close to full load, the drive unit 127 will receive a signal and trigger the switching mechanism to move the storage frame 126 as a whole, so that the next empty storage frame 126 is in place and ready to receive new qualified pipes.
[0089] For unqualified pipes, the sorting plate 121 will rotate to a specific angle under the action of the sorting cylinder 123, changing the sliding path of the pipe and guiding it to another preset processing channel or unqualified material storage area to ensure that defective products are completely separated from qualified products.
[0090] Through such a highly integrated discharging, sorting and storage system, not only can the level of production automation be greatly improved, but also the work efficiency can be significantly improved, and the possibility of human intervention can be reduced, thereby ensuring the consistency and reliability of product quality. In addition, the flexible storage frame 126 design also provides greater flexibility for the production line, and the storage strategy can be adjusted at any time according to actual production needs to meet different production and logistics management requirements.

Ordinary technicians in this field can understand that all or part of the processes of the above embodiment and equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention still fall within the scope of the invention.
