Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field related to ultrasonic flaw detectors, and more specifically, particularly relates to an ultrasonic flaw detector for bridge inspection. Background Art

[0002] The ultrasonic flaw detector for bridge inspection is based on the propagation characteristics of ultrasound. When ultrasound propagates in the bridge structure material, it will reflect, refract and scatter when encountering the interface of different media (such as defects, cracks, etc.). The flaw detector emits ultrasonic pulses, receives the reflected ultrasonic signal, and analyzes the time, amplitude and other characteristics of the signal to determine whether there are defects inside the bridge and the location, size and shape of the defects. However, the ultrasonic flaw detector in the prior art has the following defects: In the prior art, handheld ultrasonic flaw detectors for bridges require inspectors to hold the equipment to inspect point by point and section by section. For large-scale bridges, which are large-area and long-distance inspection objects, the inspection speed will be very slow and it is difficult to meet the needs of rapid inspection. In particular, when facing urgent inspection tasks or needing to complete a large amount of inspection work in a short period of time, the problem of low efficiency will be more prominent. In the prior art, when using the bridge ultrasonic flaw detector, it is necessary to manually apply coupling liquid to the detection surface in order to achieve accurate detection results. However, the manual application of coupling liquid requires the detection personnel to hold tools and apply it to the detection points or detection areas one by one. Especially for large bridge structures, the detection area is large and the range to be applied is wide, which will consume a lot of time and manpower. In the prior art, the roller for applying coupling fluid in ultrasonic flaw detectors is usually a hard roller, which is difficult to cover all positions during application. Some bridges have arc-shaped structures, such as arch ribs, circular piers, etc. When applying these arc-shaped surfaces, the hard roller is difficult to fully adapt to the curvature changes of the arc due to its linear rolling characteristics, resulting in uneven application of coupling fluid, and too much or too little application at the top and bottom of the arc, affecting the propagation and detection effect of ultrasonic waves.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0025] As attached Figure 1 To Attachment Fig.13 As shown: The present invention provides an ultrasonic flaw detector for bridge inspection, comprising an unmanned vehicle body 11, a radar positioning device 12 for positioning detection is installed above the unmanned vehicle body 11, a flaw detection component 13 for flaw detection of the bridge is fixedly installed below the unmanned vehicle body 11, the flaw detection component 13 comprises a chassis mounting frame 18, and a cleaning component 19, a roller component 20, an ultrasonic detection component 22 and a driving component 23 are installed in sequence at the bottom of the chassis mounting frame 18 from front to back; The ultrasonic detection component 22 includes an air cavity box 28 and a coupling liquid drum 27. A micro air pump 21 for inflating and replenishing the coupling liquid drum 27 is installed inside the air cavity box 28. The coupling liquid drum 27 includes a drum outer shell 30. The drum outer shell 30 is in direct contact with the bridge surface. An inner cylinder 38 for storing coupling liquid is installed inside the drum outer shell 30. A coupling liquid discharge component for controlling the discharge of liquid by pressure is also installed inside the inner cylinder 38. A push tube 36 for relieving pressure and discharging coupling liquid is also connected between the outer shell 30 of the drum and the inner cylinder 38. One end of the push tube 36 is connected to the outer shell 30 of the drum, and the other end of the push tube 36 is connected to the coupling liquid discharge assembly.

[0026] Preferably, see Attachment Fig. 9 An outer layer partition 35 is fixedly installed between the outer shell 30 of the drum and the inner shell 38. The outer layer partition 35 divides the interior of the outer shell 30 of the drum into an outer layer air cavity layer 32 and an air cavity layer 31. The air cavity layer 31 is close to one side of the inner shell 38, and the outer layer air cavity layer 32 is close to the inner side of the outer shell 30 of the drum. The outer layer air cavity layer 32 is used to store solution or spray liquid, and the air cavity layer 31 is used to store gas, so that the coupling liquid drum 27 can reach an inflated state and roll with the measuring surface. The air cavity layer 31 is close to the inner shell 38, and its main function is to store gas. After the gas is filled into the air cavity layer 31, the coupling liquid roller 27 reaches an inflated state, and the structure of the entire roller has a certain elasticity and supporting force, so that the roller can achieve stable rolling with the measuring surface. During the rolling process, the cushioning and supporting effects provided by the gas in the air cavity layer 31 ensure good contact between the roller and the measuring surface, ensure the accuracy of the measurement, and also reduce the wear between the roller and the measuring surface, thereby extending the service life of the roller.

[0027] Preferably, see Attachment Fig. 9The inner walls of both sides of the inner cylinder 38 are fixedly installed with side slide grooves 39, and limit blocks 43 are installed in the side slide grooves 39. Extrusion components are installed on the upper and lower sides of the limit blocks 43. The extrusion component includes an extrusion push plate 40, and extrusion springs 42 are fixedly installed between the two ends of the extrusion push plate 40 and the limit blocks 43. An intermediate partition 41 is fixedly installed between the limit blocks 43 on both sides. The intermediate partition 41 divides the interior of the extrusion push plate 40 into two solution chambers 44, and the solution chamber 44 is used to store coupling liquid. The extrusion spring 42 is a key part of the extrusion assembly. It can effectively buffer the impact force when the roller contacts the measuring surface. When the roller is subjected to a large external force, the extrusion spring will undergo elastic deformation to absorb and disperse energy to prevent excessive pressure from directly acting on the inner cylinder 38 and other internal structures, thereby reducing the risk of structural damage and extending the service life of the roller.

[0028] Preferably, see Attachment Figure 8 The air cavity box 28 is provided with a cavity inside, and a micro air pump 21 is installed inside the cavity. The rest of the cavity of the air cavity box 28 is a liquid cavity. A left-end mounting base 50 and a right-end mounting base 49 are fixedly installed below the air cavity box 28. The left-end mounting base 50 is arranged on the left side of the right-end mounting base 49, and the right-end mounting base 49 is arranged on one side of the micro air pump 21. The coupling liquid roller 27 is rotatably provided on the left-end mounting base 50 and the right-end mounting base 49. A liquid pipe 45 is connected between the coupling liquid drum 27 and the liquid cavity of the air cavity box 28, a one-way liquid flow valve 46 is installed at the connection between one end of the liquid pipe 45 and the air cavity box 28, the other end of the liquid pipe 45 is connected to the inside of the solution cavity 44, an air pipe 48 is provided inside the right end mounting base 49, one end of the air pipe 48 is connected to the micro air pump 21, and the other end of the air pipe 48 is connected to the inside of the air cavity layer 31 and the outer air cavity layer 32, and the micro air pump 21 inside the air cavity box 28 is the core component of the gas supply. It can generate compressed gas and provide a power source for the entire system. Through the air pipe 48, the micro air pump 21 delivers compressed gas to the air cavity layer 31 of the coupling liquid roller 27 and the outer air cavity layer 32. For the air cavity layer 31, the filling of gas makes the coupling liquid roller 27 reach an inflated state, so that the roller has a certain elasticity and supporting force, can stably contact with the measuring surface and achieve smooth rolling, ensuring the smooth progress of the measurement work. For the outer air cavity layer 32, the entry of gas can assist the injection operation of the stored solution or the injection liquid. For example, when the measuring surface needs to be cleaned, lubricated or chemically treated, the gas pressure pushes the liquid to be ejected from a specific injection port to achieve the corresponding function.

[0029] Preferably, see Attachment Fig. 9 And attached Fig.12A plurality of nozzles 33 are arranged in an array on the outer side of the outer shell 30 of the drum, and the push tubes 36 are arranged in sockets inside the plurality of nozzles 33.

A stopper is arranged on the outer side of the push tube 36, and the stopper limits the connecting pressure plate 34. The pressure is transmitted to the push tube 36 through the connecting pressure plate 34, so that the liquid in the solution cavity 44 is evenly sprayed onto the measuring surface through the drainage port 57 and the nozzle 33 of the push tube 36 under the action of pressure. This design can automatically control the spraying of liquid according to the contact between the roller and the measuring surface, ensuring the continuous supply and uniform coverage of liquid during the measurement process, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the measurement.

[0030] Preferably, see Attachment Fig.10 The ultrasonic detection component 22 includes two groups of telescopic motors 61, and the front ends of the two groups of telescopic motors 61 are fixedly connected with ultrasonic detection probes 25. A scraper assembly 26 is also fixedly installed on the side of the ultrasonic detection probe 25 close to the coupling liquid drum 27. The scraper assembly 26 includes a scraper box body 51, and a front scraper head 52 is provided at the open end of the scraper box body 51. The front scraper head 52 contacts the surface of the outer shell 30 of the drum. A primary filter plate 53 and a secondary filter plate 54 are provided inside the scraper box body 51.

During the rolling process of the drum, the front scraper head 52 can scrape off excess coupling liquid and attached impurities on the surface of the outer shell 30 of the drum. This can prevent excessive liquid and impurities from affecting the contact between the ultrasonic detection probe 25 and the measured object, ensure that the ultrasonic signal can be accurately transmitted, and improve the reliability of the detection. The primary filter plate 53 is arranged above the secondary filter plate 54, and they filter the liquid and impurities scraped off by the front scraper 52.

Then the control panel component 17 will set the bridge thickness and set the scanning program. Then the lighting display component 16 will provide an operation display for the device, and the camera component 15 will provide a visual positioning service for the device to achieve more accurate positioning and flaw detection.

[0036] Then, when the equipment is running, the driving motor 24 arranged inside the flaw detection component 13 will provide operating power for the track component 14, so as to realize the movement effect of the equipment as a whole. Then, when the equipment is running forward, the cleaning component 19 arranged at the bottom of the flaw detection component 13 will clean the bridge deck. The two cleaning components 19 will run in opposite directions during operation, and will clean the dust in the middle to the outside. After cleaning, the coupling liquid roller 27 will roll and apply coupling liquid to the ground.

[0037] When the coupling liquid drum 27 is running, the micro air pump 21 arranged inside the air cavity box 28 will simultaneously transport gas to the inside of the coupling liquid drum 27, and partially fill its air cavity layer 31 and the outer air cavity layer 32 with gas.

After scraping, the coupling liquid mixture will enter the scraper plate box 51, and then the mixed liquid will initially pass through the primary filter plate 53 to achieve preliminary filtration, and after the preliminary filtration, it will enter the secondary filter plate 54, and then the secondary filter plate 54 will be again filtered. After filtration, the filtered coupling liquid will be accumulated on the wiping plate 55, and the accumulated coupling liquid will be adsorbed by the wiping plate 55. After the adsorption is completed, the bridge detection surface will be re-coated by the humidity of the wiping plate 55 itself. After the coating is completed, the telescopic motor 61 provided in the ultrasonic detection component 22 will extend to make the ultrasonic detection probe 25 fit with the bridge detection surface.
