Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a rotary ultrasonic detection technology and its use equipment, in particular to an ultrasonic detection turbine rotary head device. Background Art

[0002] In the fields of electricity, chemical industry, etc., when repairing condensers and heat exchangers, it is necessary to inspect the heat exchange tube bundle to confirm whether the pipes are damaged, the degree of corrosion, the degree of wall thickness reduction, and whether the dimensions meet the use requirements to ensure stable operation of the system.

[0003] The Internal Rotary Inspection System (IRIS) uses a water-immersion focused probe to generate high-frequency pulsed ultrasonic waves, which are then refracted by a 45-degree acoustic reflector to form a beam perpendicular to the pipe wall. After the ultrasonic waves reflect off the inner and outer walls of the pipe, the system calculates the time and amplitude differences between the echoes from the inner and outer walls to determine the pipe's inner and outer diameters and wall thickness.

[0004] It is very necessary to provide a rotary joint device corresponding to the rotary ultrasonic testing inside the pipe. When testing inside the pipe, after the water jet rotary head and reflector elements are integrated, the radial size is smaller than the pipe diameter. After being connected and assembled with the focusing probe, the relative position is fixed, and it is easy to move inside the pipe, which effectively improves the efficiency of the rotary ultrasonic testing inside the pipe and ensures the accuracy of the test results.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an ultrasonic detection turbine rotating head device to achieve the above purpose. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide an ultrasonic testing turbine rotating head device.

[0007] The technical solution is as follows:

[0008] An ultrasonic inspection turbine rotating head device includes a rotating head housing, a drainage block embedded in the inner wall of the rotating head housing, and a rear end of the rotating head housing threadedly connected to a pipe joint to connect to a waterway; a focusing probe is disposed within the rotating head housing, the bottom of the focusing probe being threadedly connected to a coaxial line to connect to the circuit, and the front end of the focusing probe being in close contact with the drainage block;

[0009] A bearing is provided on the inner wall of the front end of the rotating head shell, a hollow sleeve rod is provided inside the bearing, a 45° reflector is embedded in the hollow sleeve rod, and the hollow sleeve rod has a water outlet corresponding to the reflective mirror surface of the 45° reflector.

[0010] Furthermore, a drainage head is provided on the outside of the hollow sleeve rod, and the drainage head, the 45-degree reflector and the hollow sleeve rod are fixed into one body by a set screw.

[0011] Furthermore, the coaxial line is arranged on the adapter, and the adapter is also provided with a hollow tube of the centering device. Water flows from the hollow tube of the centering device, flows out from the gap between the focusing probe and the rotating head shell, passes through the guide block, and forms a rotating water flow. Under the action of the rotating water flow, the hollow sleeve rotates together with the diversion head and the 45° reflector. The water flows through the hollow sleeve and flows out from the water outlet.

[0012] Furthermore, the ultrasonic focusing head converts the axial sound path into a radial sound path through the hole in the guide block, the hollow sleeve rod, and the 45° reflector 8, and then receives the return signals from the inner and outer walls.

[0013] Furthermore, an embedded step is provided on the inner wall of the rotating head shell, and the drainage block is correspondingly arranged at the embedded step.

[0014] Furthermore, a rotating head inner groove is provided on the inner wall of the front end of the rotating head shell, and a retaining spring marking pin for fixing the bearing is loaded in the rotating head inner groove.

[0015] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: it is designed for the needs of rotary ultrasonic detection inside pipes, can meet the detection scenarios inside pipe fittings, and is easy to use; it uses water flow to drive the rotating head, and has a compact structure; the focusing probe is isolated from the rotating hollow sleeve rod, effectively avoiding friction; the parts have a simple structure, are easy to install, are easy to carry and use on site, and reduce maintenance work.
