Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a ray flaw detection device for pipe fittings, and more particularly to a ray flaw detection device for large-diameter pipe fittings. Background Art

[0002] A pipeline is a device connected by pipes, pipe connectors, valves, etc. for transporting gases, liquids, or fluids with solid particles. The principle of a ray flaw detector is a non-destructive flaw detection method that uses the characteristics of X-rays to penetrate substances and attenuate in substances to detect defects therein, and is usually used for the detection of pipeline welds.

[0003] For example, the Chinese patent document with the authorization announcement number CN 208805480 U discloses a ray flaw detection device. In order to improve the efficiency of ray flaw detection for the butt welds of pipe fittings and plate butt welds, the present utility model discloses a ray flaw detection device. The ray flaw detection device includes a support disk, a bracket, and a plurality of fixing frames; the support disk is a circular ring-shaped plate structure, and the bracket is located at the center of the support disk for fixing the ray machine; the fixing frames are used to fix the test pieces to be detected, and a plurality of the fixing frames are circumferentially distributed and fixed on the support disk. When using the ray flaw detection device of the present utility model in cooperation with a ray machine to perform ray detection on welded test pieces, the efficiency of ray flaw detection for the butt welds of pipe fittings and plate butt welds can be improved.

[0004] Aiming at the above-mentioned prior art, the following defects exist in use: When the existing ray flaw detection device performs flaw detection on a pipeline, it is necessary to adjust the position of the pipeline for flaw detection. During the adjustment of the pipeline position, it is easy to occur position deviation, making the flaw detection device unable to accurately perform flaw detection on the pipeline, reducing the accuracy of the flaw detection data, and the pipeline is usually relatively heavy, inconvenient to adjust the position of the pipeline, and relatively laborious. Therefore, the present invention designs a ray flaw detection device for large-diameter pipe fittings. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a ray flaw detection device for large-diameter pipe fittings to effectively solve the problems raised by the inventor in the above background art.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A large-diameter pipe fitting ray flaw detection device, comprising a base plate with a leg device and a ray flaw detection assembly. A gantry workbench is installed on the top of the base plate with a leg device, and height adjustment seats are movably installed on both side frames of the gantry workbench. The ray flaw detection assembly is arranged between the two height adjustment seats and consists of a controller and an external penetration probe. The external penetration probe is fixedly installed on the controller, and the controller is movably installed between the two height adjustment seats. Two groups of pipe fitting positioning sleeves are movably installed on the top of the base plate with a leg device, and the external penetration probe is located above the two groups of pipe fitting positioning sleeves. A displacement roller is installed on the top of the base plate with a leg device for driving the large-diameter pipe fitting to move.

[0008] Preferably, two X-axis flat cross plates are fixedly installed between the two height adjustment seats and are distributed vertically. A driving moving seat is slidably penetrated through the X-axis flat cross plate, and a control servo motor is fixedly installed on the back of the driving moving seat. An activity cavity is formed in the driving moving seat. The output end of the control servo motor extends into the activity cavity and is fixedly installed with a rolling gear. An array of teeth is fixedly installed on the top of the upper X-axis flat cross plate, and the rolling gear is in meshing transmission with the array of teeth. During detection, the external penetration probe and the control servo motor work. The control servo motor drives the rolling gear to rotate. Under the meshing action of the rolling gear and the array of teeth, the rolling gear will roll along the array of teeth on the X-axis flat cross plate to generate displacement, and the driving moving seat will drive the controller and the external penetration probe to move, so that the external penetration probe performs ray flaw detection on the pipe fitting, and the external penetration probe moves along the length direction of the pipe fitting, thereby improving the comprehensiveness of the detection and ensuring no omission of the detection position.

[0009] Preferably, two through holes are formed in the driving moving seat, and the two X-axis flat cross plates respectively penetrate through the two through holes. The activity cavity is communicated with the upper through hole, and the array of teeth penetrates through the upper through hole.

[0010] Preferably, a length opening is formed in the side frame of the gantry workbench, the height adjustment seat is slidably installed in the length opening, a resistance pin is placed in the length opening, the bottom end of the resistance pin abuts against the inner bottom wall of the length opening, and the top end abuts against the bottom of the height adjustment seat.

[0011] Preferably, a rotating shaft is fixedly installed at the bottom of the left side frame of the gantry workbench, and the rotating shaft is rotatably installed on the top of the base plate with a leg device.

[0012] Preferably, the pipe fitting positioning sleeve is composed of two arc-shaped frame structures. Four closing openings distributed in a rectangular array are formed at the top of the bottom plate of the device with legs. A flat slider is slidably installed in each closing opening, and a vertical bracket is fixedly installed at the top of the flat slider. The arc-shaped frame structure is fixedly installed at the top of the vertical bracket. A closing assembly is arranged in the bottom plate of the device with legs, and the closing assembly is used to drive the flat slider to move.

[0013] Preferably, the closing assembly includes a through cavity, a straight rod, a compression spring, a guide pulley, a first electric push rod and an inelastic rope. A through cavity is formed in the bottom plate of the device with legs, and the through cavity communicates with the closing opening. A guide pulley is fixedly installed in the through cavity. A first electric push rod is fixedly installed on the side surface of the bottom plate of the device with legs, and the output end of the first electric push rod extends into the bottom plate of the device with legs and is fixedly connected with an inelastic rope. The other end of the inelastic rope passes through the guide pulley and is fixedly connected to the flat slider. A straight rod is slidably penetrated and installed between two flat sliders on the same side, and a compression spring is sleeved on the straight rod. The two ends of the compression spring are respectively fixedly connected to the adjacent sides of the two flat sliders and can be adapted to the detection of large-diameter pipe fittings. The height of the height adjustment seat can be adjusted. Only by replacing anti-resistance pins with different lengths can the height of the outer-penetrating probe be adjusted. Then, the distance between the outer-penetrating probe and the pipe fitting can be changed to adapt to pipe fittings of different diameters. In addition, since the arc-shaped frame structure can move, not only can the pipe fitting be quickly positioned, but also pipe fittings of different diameters can be fixed.

[0014] Preferably, a second electric push rod is fixedly installed at the top of the bottom plate of the device with legs, and the output end of the second electric push rod is fixedly connected with a rectangular frame. At least two displacement rollers are rotatably installed in the rectangular frame, and the upper ends of the displacement rollers extend outside the rectangular frame. For the detection of longer pipe fittings: after the part between the two pipe fitting positioning sleeves is detected, the first electric push rod works to make its output end move towards the movable cavity. Under the elastic force of the compression spring, the two flat sliders move away from each other, and then the arc-shaped frame structure separates to release the fixation of the pipe fitting. Subsequently, the second electric push rod works to drive the rectangular frame to move upward, and the driving assembly drives the displacement rollers to rotate, so that the displacement rollers lift and transport the pipe fitting, and the undetected position of the pipe fitting moves below the outer-penetrating probe, thereby achieving the purpose of continuous detection.

[0015] In view of this, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] (1). In this application, the pipe fitting to be detected is placed between two pipe fitting positioning sleeves, that is, the pipe fitting passes through between the two pipe fitting positioning sleeves and is fixed under the closing and extrusion of the arc-shaped frame structure. During detection, the outer penetration probe and the control servo motor work. The control servo motor drives the rolling gear to rotate. Under the meshing action of the rolling gear and the array of teeth, the rolling gear will roll and displace along the array of teeth on the X-axis flat cross plate, and the active moving seat will drive the controller and the outer penetration probe to move, so that the outer penetration probe performs radiographic inspection on the pipe fitting, and the outer penetration probe moves along the length direction of the pipe fitting, thereby improving the comprehensiveness of the detection and ensuring that there are no omissions in the detection positions.

[0017] (2). In this application, for the detection of longer pipe fittings: after the part between the two pipe fitting positioning sleeves is detected, the first electric push rod works, and its output end moves towards the direction of the movable cavity. Under the elastic force of the compression spring, the two flat sliders move away from each other, and the arc-shaped frame structure separates to release the fixation of the pipe fitting. Subsequently, the second electric push rod works, driving the rectangular frame to move upward, and the driving component drives the displacement roller to rotate, so that the displacement roller lifts and transports the pipe fitting, and the undetected position of the pipe fitting moves below the outer penetration probe, thereby achieving the purpose of continuous detection and making the work efficiency better.

[0018] (3). In this application, it can be adapted to the detection of large-diameter pipe fittings. The height of the height adjustment seat can be adjusted. Only different lengths of resistance pins need to be replaced, and then the height of the outer penetration probe can be adjusted. The distance between the outer penetration probe and the pipe fitting can be changed to adapt to pipe fittings of different diameters. In addition, since the arc-shaped frame structure can move, it can not only quickly locate the pipe fitting but also fix pipe fittings of different diameters. Description of the Drawings
