Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of crack detection, in particular to a device and method for detecting cracks on the inner surface of a boiler pressure vessel. Background Art

[0002] Boiler pressure vessels usually refer to boiler pressure tanks. During processing, the entire steel plate is first bent into a cylindrical shape, and then the joints are welded. Then, the end covers at both ends are made and welded to the cylindrical structure for assembly. During the bending process of the cylindrical structure, due to the internal stress of the metal material and the bending process, some products will have cracks. It is necessary to analyze the cracks to determine whether they are qualified.

[0003] During the inspection process, a magnetic particle detector is usually used for inspection. Magnetic powder is applied to the inspection area, and then the area is magnetized using the magnetic particle detector. The magnetic powder is arranged in a regular pattern under the action of the magnetic force. If there are cracks, they will accumulate at the cracks, thereby achieving non-destructive testing.

[0004] The existing patent publication number is CN115932033B, which discloses a boiler pressure vessel inner surface crack detection device, including a base, a container detection unit, a detection support unit, a container support unit and a controller. The container support unit is installed laterally on the base and is used to support the pressure vessel to be detected. The controller can control the container support unit to drive the pressure vessel to be detected to rotate at a constant speed. The present invention has a unique structure and ingenious design. It can not only effectively solve the problems of the existing boiler pressure vessel inner surface crack detection operation being difficult and time-consuming, but also effectively solve the problems of low accuracy of detection results and harm to the health of detection personnel during the detection process.

[0005] However, the boiler pressure vessel inner surface crack detection device proposed in the above patent has the following disadvantages in practical application:

[0006] First, the device uses a driver to rotate the container and another driver to linearly move the container detection unit, thereby achieving complete inspection of the container's inner wall. However, in actual use, both the container and the container detection unit are in a moving state, resulting in significant overall shaking, which can easily cause the magnetic powder to fall off due to vibration, affecting the inspection effect.

[0007] Second, the device uses spraying and suction to attach magnetic powder to the surface of the container. During the spraying process, a large airflow is generated, causing the magnetic powder to be dispersed. During the suction process, if the airflow is small, the magnetic powder cannot be recovered. If the airflow is large, it will affect the shedding of magnetic powder in the undetected area. At the same time, the entire device is facing downward during detection, which makes the recovery of magnetic powder more difficult.

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, a device and method for detecting cracks on the inner surface of a boiler pressure vessel are provided. Summary of the Invention

[0048] Step 3: Continuous detection: Start the travel motor and the U-shaped integrated magnetizer to make the cylindrical part move spirally and the power contact rubber roller rotate passively, so that the magnetic powder coating part automatically coats the magnetic powder, the powder transfer roller coats the magnetic powder on the magnetic powder coating part, the detection probe detects the coating area, and the scraper roller cleans and recovers the magnetic powder after detection to the magnetic powder coating part.

[0049] The present invention discloses a device and method for detecting cracks on the inner surface of a boiler pressure vessel, which have the following beneficial effects:

[0050] 1. This boiler pressure vessel inner surface crack detection device passively drives the magnetic powder coating member inside the magnetic powder detection unit to smear magnetic powder on the inner wall of the cylindrical member as the cylindrical member moves spirally. At the same time, the scraper roller automatically scrapes and recovers the magnetic powder in the area after the inspection. The recovered magnetic powder is immediately returned to the magnetic powder coating member for recycling. No additional wind drive is required. The magnetic powder coating and removal process is more stable and reliable. The magnetic powder loading and unloading process will not affect the inspection area, making the inspection results more accurate.

[0051] 2. The boiler pressure vessel inner surface crack detection device starts the travel motor, so that the travel motor drives the driving gear to rotate counterclockwise, and the driving gear drives the inner roller to rotate counterclockwise. At the same time, the driving gear drives the two sets of passive gear rings to rotate clockwise, so that the two sets of outer rollers rotate clockwise. At this time, under the action of the inner and outer rollers, the cylindrical member rotates counterclockwise. At the same time, as the two sets of outer rollers rotate, it moves along the driving screw and drives the cylindrical member to move along the traveling ball on the support track through the traveling seat toward the end away from the support seat. At this time, the cylindrical member moves in a spiral. During the process, the detection box always remains stationary, thereby maintaining stability during the detection process and improving detection accuracy.

[0052] 3. The boiler pressure vessel inner surface crack detection device is provided with a magnetic powder smearing part. The scraper roller drives the driving roller to rotate clockwise, and the driving roller drives the powder transfer roller to rotate clockwise, so that the flexible magnetic tape automatically circulates and moves. The powder transfer roller automatically dips the magnetic powder in the magnetic powder silo onto the surface of the flexible magnetic tape, and utilizes the magnetic adsorption of the flexible magnetic tape. Then, when the flexible magnetic tape moves upward, the excess magnetic powder will fall back into the magnetic powder silo under the action of gravity. The flexible magnetic tape enters one side of the U-shaped integrated magnetizer. The U-shaped integrated magnetizer forms a magnetized area on the surface of the cylindrical member. By adjusting the magnetic force so that its magnetism is greater than that of the flexible magnetic tape, under the action of the magnetic force, the magnetic powder is automatically transferred from the flexible magnetic tape to the inner wall of the cylindrical member to realize automatic loading, and the smearing method is adopted to effectively prevent the magnetic powder from falling during loading.

[0053] 4. The boiler pressure vessel inner surface crack detection device starts the lifting drive motor to move the detection box upward so that its top end contacts the inner top of the cylindrical member, and then starts the flip hydraulic cylinder to drive the bottom end of the auxiliary support frame to flip downward, and finally makes the supporting ball contact the inner bottom of the cylindrical member, thereby ensuring that the upper end of the detection box can fit closely with the inner wall of the cylindrical member, so that the detection box can fit closely with the inner wall of the cylindrical member, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection.

[0079] The magnetic powder coating part 33 includes two sets of drive chains 331, a flexible magnetic tape 332, an elastic support member 333, a passive roller 334 and a driving roller 335. The front ends of the two sets of drive chains 331 are bent upward and extended into an L shape; the flexible magnetic tape 332 is fixedly arranged between the two sets of drive chains 331; the elastic support member 333 is arranged on the inner side of the upward bent part of the flexible magnetic tape 332; the passive roller 334 is rotatably connected to the top of the detection box 31; the driving roller 335 is rotatably arranged at the bottom of the detection box 31; the two sets of drive chains 331 are installed between the passive roller 334 and the driving roller 335.

[0080] The magnetic powder silo 38 is located below the front end of the flexible magnetic tape 332. A powder transfer roller 382 is provided for rotation inside the magnetic powder silo 38. A second transmission chain 314 is installed between the powder transfer roller 382 and the driving roller 335. Transmission gears 312 are installed at both ends of the power contact rubber roller 35 and the scraper roller 34. The two sets of transmission gears 312 are meshed with each other. A first transmission chain 313 is installed between the scraper roller 34 and the driving roller 335. A partition plate 39 is provided between the upper end of the flexible magnetic tape 332 and the detection probe 36. Ultraviolet lamps 37 are provided on both sides of the detection probe 36. A transparent cover 311 is provided on the top of the detection probe 36 and the ultraviolet lamp 37. The top side of the transparent cover 311 is inclined toward the receiving hopper 310.

[0081] Working principle: When the device is in use, the cylindrical member is pushed inward along the support rail 12 so that the front end of the cylindrical member is inserted between the inner rotating roller 144 and the two sets of outer rotating rollers 146. At this time, the lifting drive motor 24 is started to drive the lifting screw 211 to rotate, so that the slider 22 slides upward along the slide groove 26, so that the top end of the detection box 31 contacts the inner top of the cylindrical member. Then, the lifting drive motor 24 is turned off and the flip hydraulic cylinder 28 is started to drive the bottom end of the auxiliary support frame 29 to flip downward, and finally the support ball 210 contacts the inner bottom of the cylindrical member, thereby ensuring that the upper end of the detection box 31 can fit the inner wall of the cylindrical member.

[0082] At this time, the travel motor 143 is started, so that the travel motor 143 drives the driving gear 142 to rotate counterclockwise, and the driving gear 142 drives the inner roller 144 to rotate counterclockwise. At the same time, the driving gear 142 drives the two sets of passive gear rings 145 to rotate clockwise, so that the two sets of outer rollers 146 rotate clockwise. At this time, under the action of the inner roller 144 and the outer roller 146, the cylindrical member rotates counterclockwise. At the same time, as the two sets of outer rollers 146 rotate, it moves along the driving screw 15, and drives the cylindrical member through the travel seat 141 to move along the travel ball 13 on the support rail 12 toward the end away from the support seat 21. At this time, the cylindrical member moves in a spiral manner;

[0083] During the above process, the detection box 31 always remains stationary. As the cylindrical member moves spirally, the inner wall of the cylindrical member contacts the power contact rubber roller 35 and drives the power contact rubber roller 35 to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the power contact rubber roller 35 drives the scraper roller 34 to rotate clockwise through two sets of transmission gears 312. The scraper roller 34 drives the driving roller 335 to rotate clockwise through the first transmission chain 313. The driving roller 335 drives the powder transfer roller 382 to rotate clockwise through the second transmission chain 314, thereby realizing that during the rotation of the cylindrical member, the flexible magnetic tape 332 automatically circulates and moves. The part of the top of the flexible magnetic tape 332 that contacts the cylindrical member is opposite to the moving direction of the cylindrical member, so that when the flexible magnetic tape 332 moves, the powder transfer roller 382 automatically dips the magnetic powder in the magnetic powder bin 38 into the flexible magnetic tape 33 2 surface, using the magnetic adsorption of the flexible tape 332, and then when the flexible tape 332 moves up, the excess magnetic powder will fall back to the inside of the magnetic powder silo 38 under the action of gravity, and then the flexible tape 332 drives the magnetic powder to move up and enter one side of the U-shaped integrated magnetizer 32. At this time, under the action of the U-shaped integrated magnetizer 32, a magnetized area is formed on the surface of the cylindrical member. By adjusting the magnetic force, its magnetism is greater than the magnetic force of the flexible tape 332. At this time, under the action of the magnetic force, the magnetic powder is automatically transferred from the flexible tape 332 to the inner wall of the cylindrical member, and then the cylindrical member drives the magnetic powder to move to the partition plate 39 again. At this time, under the action of the magnetic force, the magnetic powder is arranged in order. Under the irradiation of the ultraviolet lamp 37, the detection probe 36 takes a picture of the magnetic powder state, and the crack situation in the area is judged according to the picture;

[0084] After the flexible magnetic tape 332 completes the transmission of the magnetic powder, it returns downward to the position below the receiving hopper 310. At the same time, as the cylindrical member continues to rotate, the magnetic powder on the cylindrical member leaves the magnetized area and contacts the scraper roller 34. The rotation direction of the scraper roller 34 is opposite to the rotation direction of the inner wall of the cylindrical member, thereby scraping off the magnetic powder on the inner wall, causing the magnetic powder to fall into the receiving hopper 310 and then fall from the bottom of the receiving hopper 310 onto the flexible magnetic tape 332, completing the magnetic powder recovery and recycling. Some of the magnetic powder that falls in the magnetized area will fall on the transparent cover 311 and quickly slide to one side into the inside of the receiving hopper 310.

[0085] The entire device relies solely on the travel motor 143 as a power component. Through the cooperation of the travel motor 143 and the rotating drive component 14, the cylindrical component moves in a spiral shape along the support rail 12. During this process, the magnetic powder detection unit 3 always remains stationary and is more stable. At the same time, as the cylindrical component moves in a spiral shape, the magnetic powder smearing component 33 inside the magnetic powder detection unit 3 is passively driven to smear magnetic powder onto the inner wall of the cylindrical component. At the same time, the scraper roller 34 automatically scrapes and recycles the magnetic powder in the area after the inspection is completed. The recovered magnetic powder immediately enters the magnetic powder smearing component 33 for recycling. There is no need to use additional wind drive. The magnetic powder smearing and cleaning process is more stable and reliable, and the magnetic powder loading and unloading process will not affect the inspection area, making the inspection result more accurate.
