Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of couplant cloth tools, and particularly relates to a couplant cloth tool for an ultrasonic convex array probe. Background Art

[0002] A couplant is a commonly used medium in fields such as ultrasonic testing, medical ultrasonics, and industrial flaw detection. It is mainly used to eliminate the air gap between the probe and the object to be detected, ensuring the effective transmission of ultrasonic waves. Before the start of an ultrasonic examination, applying the couplant to the probe is a necessary process. However, currently, when applying the couplant to the probe, the nozzle of the couplant is directly aligned with the probe surface and squeezed. Since the nozzles of the couplant are all circular, the couplant is unevenly squeezed onto the probe surface and is easily squeezed outside the probe, causing unnecessary waste and affecting the inspection and wasting inspection time. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a couplant cloth tool for an ultrasonic convex array probe, which solves the problem that the existing couplant is not convenient to apply.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides a couplant cloth tool for an ultrasonic convex array probe, including a couplant bottle. The upper end of the couplant bottle is threadedly connected with a bottle cap. A connecting pipe is movably connected inside the bottle cap. The upper end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected with a flat head. A guard plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the flat head. A scraping plate is hinged to the upper part inside the flat head. A sealing mechanism is arranged inside the bottle cap. A connecting piece is fixedly connected to the outside of the scraping plate. A tension spring is arranged on the outside of the connecting piece.

[0005] The principle of the present invention is as follows: When in use, place the flat head outside the probe, and at the same time, clamp the two guard plates outside the probe. During the clamping process, the probe will drive the scraping plate to deflect. During the deflection of the scraping plate, the tension spring can be stretched through the connecting piece. After the tension spring is stretched, it generates an elastic force, which can drive the scraping plate to press against the outside of the probe through the elastic force. Then, squeeze the couplant bottle forcefully. After squeezing, a pressure is generated. When the pressure is greater than the elastic force of the spring, the sealing block moves. After the sealing block moves, the couplant enters the inside of the flat head through the connecting pipe. Since the width of the flat head is the same as that of the probe, a couplant with the same width can be applied to the outside of the probe. At the same time, the couplant can be scraped flat by the scraping plate, making the application of the couplant more uniform.

[0006] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: By adding structures such as a connecting pipe, a flat head, and a guard plate to the bottle cap, during the application process, the flat head can be clamped outside the probe through the guard plate, and during the process of applying the probe with the flat head, the width can be limited by the guard plate, which can facilitate the application of the coupling agent, making the application of the coupling agent more convenient. And after application, the connecting pipe can be sealed by the sealing block, effectively avoiding the evaporation of the moisture of the coupling agent.

[0007] Further, the number of the guard plates is two, and the two guard plates are symmetrically distributed on the outer side of the flat head, and the guard plates can block the application range.

[0008] Further, an internal thread pipe is fixedly connected to the upper end of the bottle cap, and the internal thread pipe is threadedly connected to the connecting pipe, and the internal thread pipe can connect the connecting pipe.

[0009] Further, one end of the tension spring is fixedly connected to the connecting piece, and the other end of the tension spring is fixedly connected to the flat head, and the tension spring can apply a pulling force to the connecting piece through the elastic force.

[0010] Further, the sealing mechanism includes a frame, the frame is fixedly connected to the inner top of the bottle cap, a sealing ring is fixedly connected to the inner top of the bottle cap, the sealing ring is slidably connected to the connecting pipe, a connecting nail is slidably connected inside the frame, a lower pressing plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting nail, a sealing block is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting nail, and a spring is arranged on the outer side of the connecting nail, and the lower pressing plate can squeeze the sealing block.

[0011] Further, the sealing block is fixedly connected to the lower pressing plate, and the sealing block contacts the sealing ring, and the sealing block can seal the connecting pipe through the sealing ring.

[0012] Further, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the frame, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the connecting nail, and the spring can drive the connecting nail to automatically reset through the elastic force. Description of the Drawings

[0020] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 This embodiment provides an ultrasonic convex array probe coupling agent cloth tool, including a coupling agent bottle 1. The upper end of the coupling agent bottle 1 is threadedly connected with a bottle cap 2. The inside of the bottle cap 2 is movably connected with a connecting pipe 3. The upper end of the connecting pipe 3 is fixedly connected with a flat head 4. The outside of the flat head 4 is fixedly connected with a guard plate 5.

The outside of the scraper 7 is fixedly connected with a connecting piece 9. The outside of the connecting piece 9 is provided with a tension spring 10.

[0021] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The number of the guard plates 5 is two. The two guard plates 5 are symmetrically distributed on the outside of the flat head 4. The guard plates 5 can block the spreading range. The upper end of the bottle cap 2 is fixedly connected with an internal threaded pipe 6. The internal threaded pipe 6 is threadedly connected with the connecting pipe 3. The internal threaded pipe 6 can connect the connecting pipe 3. One end of the tension spring 10 is fixedly connected with the connecting piece 9, and the other end of the tension spring 10 is fixedly connected with the flat head 4. The tension spring 10 can apply a pulling force to the connecting piece 9 through elasticity.

[0022] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4As shown in the figure, the sealing mechanism 8 includes a frame 81. The top inside of the bottle cap 2 is fixedly connected to the frame 81. The top inside of the bottle cap 2 is fixedly connected to a sealing ring 82. The sealing ring 82 is slidably connected to the connecting pipe 3. A connecting pin 83 is slidably connected inside the frame 81. The upper end of the connecting pin 83 is fixedly connected to a lower pressing plate 85. A sealing block 84 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting pin 83. A spring 86 is arranged on the outside of the connecting pin 83. The lower pressing plate 85 can squeeze the sealing block 84. The sealing block 84 is fixedly connected to the lower pressing plate 85. The sealing block 84 contacts the sealing ring 82. The sealing block 84 can seal the connecting pipe 3 through the sealing ring 82.

The spring 86 can drive the connecting pin 83 to automatically reset through its elastic force.

[0023] The specific implementation process of the present invention is as follows: When in use, place the flat head 4 on the outside of the probe. At the same time, clamp the two guard plates 5 on the outside of the probe. During the clamping process, the probe will drive the scraping plate 7 to deflect. During the deflection of the scraping plate 7, the pulling spring 10 can be stretched through the connecting piece 9. After the pulling spring 10 is stretched, it generates an elastic force, which can drive the scraping plate 7 to squeeze against the outside of the probe through the elastic force. Then, squeeze the coupling agent bottle 1 forcefully. After squeezing, pressure is generated. When the pressure is greater than the elastic force of the spring 86, the sealing block 84 moves. After the sealing block 84 moves, the coupling agent enters the inside of the flat head 4 through the connecting pipe 3. Since the width of the flat head 4 is the same as that of the probe, the coupling agent with the same width can be applied to the outside of the probe. At the same time, the coupling agent can be scraped flat through the scraping plate 7, which can make the application of the coupling agent more uniform.

[0024] By adding structures such as the connecting pipe 3, flat head 4, and guard plate 5 to the bottle cap 2 in the present invention, during the application process, the flat head 4 can be clamped on the outside of the probe through the guard plate 5. Then, during the process of applying the coupling agent to the probe through the flat head 4, the width can be limited through the guard plate 5, which can facilitate the application of the coupling agent, making the application of the coupling agent more convenient. And after application, the connecting pipe 3 can be sealed through the sealing block 84, which can effectively avoid the evaporation of the moisture of the coupling agent.
