Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pipeline testing, and in particular to a lifting and scanning device for TOFD detection of pressure pipeline welds. Background Art
[0002] Pressure pipelines are tubular devices used to transport gas or liquids under pressure. There are various ways to connect pressure pipelines, with welding being a common method. Pressure pipeline weld inspection is crucial for operational safety, and TOFD (Time of Flight Diffraction) is a common method used for weld inspection. TOFD is an advanced nondestructive testing technique, also known as "Time of Flight Ultrasonic Diffraction."
[0003] During inspection, the staff holds the TOFD detector by hand and moves up and down along the circumference of the pressure pipe. The two sets of roller assemblies on the TOFD detector will continuously rotate outside the pressure pipe. The two sets of probe assemblies of the TOFD detector will approach the two sides of the weld respectively, and the weld will be fully inspected as the TOFD detector moves.
[0004] Pressure pipelines may be laid in windy and sandy areas, and when inspecting their welds, the sand below the welds of the pressure pipelines will be hollowed out to facilitate complete inspection of the welds. However, windy and sandy areas are prone to wind, and with it comes drifting sand and dust, which easily adheres to the welds and probe components, thus affecting the accuracy of weld inspection. At the same time, the diameter of pressure pipelines laid in windy and sandy areas is generally relatively large, which makes it inconvenient and time-consuming to use the TOFD detector to scan the welds along its circumference in a complete upward and downward movement. At the same time, if manual data recording and marking are required during the inspection process, or if the inspection needs to be stopped to perform other related operations, the TOFD detector needs to be put down first, and then the TOFD detector needs to be re-placed outside the pressure pipeline to inspect the welds, which is also very troublesome to operate.

The upper end of the screw 22 is fixedly connected with a runner 12, and a circular ring 38 is threadedly sleeved on the outer wall of the screw 22. The outer wall of the circular ring 38 is rotatably connected with four connecting rods 11. The ends of the four connecting rods 11 away from the circular ring 38 are rotatably connected with a connecting plate 8. The four connecting plates 8 are all slidably connected to the upper end of the top plate 2. The four connecting plates 8 are elastically connected with a plywood 10 through an elastic mechanism, wherein two plywoods 10 are respectively fitted with the wall surfaces corresponding to the two baffles 13, and the other two plywoods 10 are respectively fitted with the wall surfaces corresponding to the two baffles 2 14.
[0035] The elastic mechanism includes two splicing columns 24, which are symmetrically slidably inserted into the inner wall of the connecting plate 8. One end of the two splicing columns 24 is fixedly connected to the wall surface of the connecting plate 8 corresponding to the splint 10. A spring 28 is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the two splicing columns 24, and the two springs 28 are fixedly connected between the splint 10 and the connecting plate 8.
[0036] A connecting column 25 is fixedly connected between the top and bottom of the two square grooves 37 , and the two connecting columns 25 are slidably inserted into the inner wall of the support rod 9 .
[0037] Specifically, by providing the connecting column 25 , the stability between the second baffle 14 and the top plate 2 is improved.
[0038] The lower end of the support rod 9 is symmetrically fixedly connected with the shielding plates 1, and the corresponding wall surfaces of the two shielding plates 1 are respectively in contact with the wall surfaces of the two baffles 14 that are away from each other.
[0039] Specifically, under the action of the shielding plate 1, when the baffle 2 14 moves downward, its square groove 37 will also move downward. In order to prevent the square groove 37 and the support rod 9 from forming a gap to allow sand and dust to enter, the shielding plate 1 can block the gap between the square groove 37 and the support rod 9 at this time.
[0040] Working principle: When the TOFD detector needs to be placed on a pipe 6 (the pipe 6 is a pressure pipe) laid in a sandy area for weld detection, first place two sets of roller assemblies 4 on the top of the two pipes 6, and make the two sets of probe assemblies 23 close to both sides of the weld. Then one staff member holds the support rod 9 firmly, and another staff member wraps a belt 7 around and fits it along the outer wall of a pipe 6, and passes the belt 7 through the corresponding frame block 16, and keeps the tightness between the belt 7 and the pipe 6 moderate. Then, turn down multiple screws 17 in turn so that the bottom ends of the multiple screws 17 press the belt 7. At this time, one belt 7 can be fixed, and the other belt 7 is fixed in the same way.
[0041] Before the above, rotate the wheel 12 in advance, the wheel 12 will drive the screw 22 to rotate, the screw 22 will drive the ring 38 to move downward, the ring 38 will drive the four connecting rods 11 to rotate accordingly, and the four connecting rods 11 will drive the connecting plates 8 connected to them to slide away from the screw 22 at the upper end of the top plate 2 (it should be noted that the sliding connection between the connecting plate 8 and the top plate 2 can be the mutual cooperation of the T-shaped slider and the T-shaped slot, that is, the T-shaped slider is connected to the lower end of the connecting plate 8, and the T-shaped slot is opened at the upper end of the top plate 2). The plate 8 will move together with the connected splicing plates 10 through the two splicing columns 24 and two springs 1 28 connected to each other. The four splicing plates 10 will squeeze the two baffles 1 13 and the two baffles 2 14 respectively, and each connecting plate 8 will slide outside the two corresponding splicing columns 24 and slightly squeeze the two springs 1 28. At this time, there is a certain friction between the two baffles 1 13, the two baffles 2 14 and the corresponding splicing plates 10, so the two baffles 1 13 and the two baffles 2 14 will not automatically slide down in the top plate 2.
[0042] Then, push the two baffles 13 and the two baffles 2 14 downward in turn, and the sponge blocks 3 under each baffle 1 13 and baffle 2 14 will squeeze the corresponding outer wall of the tube body 6, and will undergo different degrees of contraction deformation in the vertical direction (it should be noted that the sponge blocks 3 have a low density and a loose structure, and are not easy to bend in other directions under unidirectional pressure), until the four sponge blocks 3 seal the four sides of the two sets of probe assemblies 23, and finally continue to rotate the rotating wheel 12 so that the four splints 10 further squeeze the two baffles 1 13 and the two baffles 2 14 respectively, then the spring 1 28 will be compressed to the limit, and under the action of the larger extrusion force, the two baffles 13 and the two baffles 2 14 will be fixed. Finally, rotate the support rod 9 to drive the two sets of roller assemblies 4 to rotate on the tube body 6. The two sets of probe assemblies 23 will move along the weld. The two sets of probe assemblies 23 will move up and down along the circumferential surface of the tube body 6 to scan. The two belts 7 will always be put on the outside of the corresponding tube body 6 and rotate in close proximity to it, thereby detecting the weld.
[0043] When the entire device needs to pass through the bottom of the pipe body 6, under the action of the two belts 7 that restrict the movement of the support rod 9, the two groups of roller assemblies 4 and the two groups of probe assemblies 23 outside the pipe body 6, the two groups of probe assemblies 23 can be easily operated to pass through the bottom of the pipe body 6. Then the staff can come to the other side of the pipe body 6 and take over the support rod 9 and continue to rotate the support rod 9. The entire device will not fall during the process, which makes it convenient for the staff to conduct complete weld inspection on the pipe body 6 with a larger diameter in a sandy area. Secondly, under the action of the top plate 2 and the four sponge blocks 3, the two groups of probe assemblies 23 can be completely blocked to avoid contact with sand and dust, and the rotation of the sponge blocks 3 corresponding to the welds can also clean the welds, thereby improving the accuracy of the inspection. At the same time, according to the deformability of the sponge blocks 3, it can also adapt to pipes 6 of different diameters to completely block the two groups of probe assemblies 23 and clean the welds, and has good applicability.
[0044] If manual data recording and marking is required during the inspection process, or if the inspection needs to be stopped to perform other related operations, first hold the adjacent pressing column 19 and the auxiliary column 20, and rotate the bottom end of the pressing column 19 toward the auxiliary column 20. The pressing column 19 will drive the rotating shaft 31 to rotate in the two L-shaped blocks 21, and the pressing column 19 will also drive the sliding sleeve 26 to move upward, and the sliding sleeve 26 will drive the guide column 27 to move upward, and the sliding sleeve 26 will also slide in the corresponding direction outside the guide column 27. The guide column 27 will drive the concave block 15 to move upward, the concave block 15 will drive the frame block 16 to move upward, and the frame block 16 will drive the two fixed columns 36 to rotate in the corresponding column slots 3. 5 slides upward and stretches the spring three 34, the frame block 16 will drive one belt 7 to be more tightly attached to the outside of the corresponding tube body 6, and the other belt 7 will also be more tightly attached to the outside of the corresponding tube body 6. Then, under the friction between the belt 7 and the tube body 6, after loosening the support rod 9, the belt 7, the roller assembly 4 and the probe assembly 23 will not rotate, and the support rod 9, the two groups of roller assemblies 4 and the two groups of probe assemblies 23 can be temporarily fixed. There is no need to put down the entire device first and then put the entire device back on the outside of the tube body 6 for weld inspection. It is not only convenient to operate, but also ensures that the two groups of probe assemblies 23 will not come into contact with external sand and dust at all times.
[0045] It should be noted that the rotating shaft 31 will drive the multiple triangular slots 30 to rotate during the rotation process. The triangular slot 30 originally matched with the triangular end of the T-shaped block 29 will push the inclined surface of the triangular end of the T-shaped block 29, so that the T-shaped block 29 is squeezed and moves upward. The T-shaped block 29 will drive the connecting column 33 to slide upward in the corresponding L-shaped block 21, and the T-shaped block 29 will squeeze the spring 2 32 connected to the L-shaped block 21. When the next triangular slot 30 corresponds to the triangular end of the T-shaped block 29, under the action of the spring 2 32, the triangular end of the T-shaped block 29 will automatically insert into the triangular slot 30, and so on. At the same time, after the rotating shaft 31 rotates, combined with Figure 5From the perspective of the embodiment, the vertical surface of the corresponding triangular groove 30 is in contact with the vertical surface of the triangular end of the T-shaped block 29, so the rotating shaft 31 will not rotate back. Therefore, the pressing column 19 can be released after rotating it. When the angle of the pressing column 19 is restored, the connecting column 33 can be lifted up. The connecting column 33 will drive the triangular end of the T-shaped block 29 to leave the corresponding triangular groove 30. At this time, under the action of the spring three 34, the frame block 16, the concave block 15, the guide column 27 and the sliding sleeve 26 will automatically move downward and drive the pressing column 19 to rotate back.
