Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of metal bar detection, and in particular to a metal bar defect detection device. Background Art
[0002] Defect detection of metal bars is a key step in ensuring product quality and safety. Eddy current testing is a non-destructive detection technology widely used in surface and near-surface defect detection of metal materials. It is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction and detects defects in materials by generating eddy currents in conductive materials and analyzing the changes in these eddy currents.
[0003] In traditional eddy current testing, if the material is uniform and free of defects, the size and distribution of the eddy currents will be constant. However, when defects (such as cracks, corrosion, inclusions, etc.) are present in the material, the resistivity along the eddy current path changes, thereby altering the size and distribution of the eddy currents. These changes can be measured by instruments connected to the coils and converted into visual signals for analysis.
[0004] Currently, when performing eddy current testing on metal bars, workers usually move a handheld detection probe across the surface of the metal bar and use visual signals to determine whether the metal bar has defects. When the metal bar is relatively long, the worker needs to keep walking, which makes the testing process very inconvenient and affects the convenience of detection. This needs to be improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, a defect detection device for metal bars includes a support frame 1, a slide 2, an eddy current detection probe 3, a transmission roller 4, a conveying mechanism 5 and a marking mechanism 6.
[0021] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, a support frame 1 is horizontally mounted on the ground, with a slide 2 connected to the center of the support frame 1 for horizontal sliding. An eddy current probe 3 is fixed to the slide 2 and allows the metal bar to pass horizontally through it. Drive rollers 4 are horizontally connected to the support frame 1 and are located on both sides of the slide 2 to support the metal bar.
[0022] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the conveying mechanism 5 includes a column 51, a suspension 52, and a conveying wheel 53. The column 51 is vertically arranged on the support frame 1, and the suspension 52 is horizontally arranged on the column 51. The conveying wheel 53 is rotatably connected to the suspension 52 and is used to press the upper end surface of the metal bar and intermittently convey the metal bar.
[0023] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the marking mechanism 6 is arranged on both sides of the slide 2 and is used to mark the defect position of the metal bar. The marking mechanism 6 includes a positioning plate 61, a marking rod 62, a seal 63 and a driving mechanism 7.
[0024] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3As shown, positioning plates 61 are vertically mounted on the support frame 1 and are located on both sides of the slide 2, and are used to block both ends of the eddy current detection probe 3. The positioning plates 61 are provided with sliding holes 64 for metal bars to pass through. A plurality of marking rods 62 are vertically slidably connected to the positioning plates 61 and located within the sliding holes 64. Seals 63 are located at the lower ends of the marking rods 62. The seals 63 are arranged in an arrow shape, and the seals 63 on both sides of the slide 2 face each other.
[0025] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the driving mechanism 7 is used to control the synchronous sliding of multiple marking rods 62, and the driving mechanism 7 includes a driving plate 71, a handle 72 and a cylinder 73.
[0026] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, a drive plate 71 is rotatably connected to the positioning plate 61 in an annular shape. A drive rod 74 is horizontally mounted on the drive plate 71. The marking rod 62 is provided with an arc-shaped drive hole 76 for the sliding movement of the drive rod 74. A handle 72 is mounted on the outer wall of the drive plate 71 and extends through the positioning plate 61. A cylinder 73 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the positioning plate 61, and its piston rod is rotatably connected to the handle 72.
[0027] When defects of the metal bar need to be detected, the metal bar is placed horizontally on the transmission roller 4, and then the conveying wheel 53 on the suspension 52 presses the metal bar, and the cooperation of the conveying wheel 53 and the transmission roller 4 is used to realize the movement control of the metal bar.
[0028] At this time, the metal bar passes through the eddy current detection probe 3, and then the metal bar stops being transported. Then the slide 2 is controlled to drive the eddy current detection probe 3 to slide, so that the eddy current detection probe 3 respectively contacts the positioning plates 61 on both sides. At this time, the eddy current detection probe 3 is used to detect this section of position.
[0029] When there is a defect on the metal bar, the cylinder 73 drives the handle 72 to rotate, and the handle 72 drives the drive plate 71 to move synchronously. At this time, under the cooperation of the drive rod 74 and the drive hole 76, the multiple marking rods 62 slide outward synchronously. At the same time, the seal 63 on the marking rod 62 contacts the surface of the metal bar, and a mark is printed on the surface of the metal bar, which makes it convenient to grasp the defect location when the metal bar is used later.
[0030] Then the control handle 72 is rotated in the opposite direction to make all the marking rods 62 retract, and then the metal bar is controlled to continue to be transported backward a distance to realize the detection of the next position, and the process is repeated in sequence to complete the defect detection of the entire metal bar.
[0031] Therefore, by setting up a conveying mechanism 5 that can intermittently transport metal bars and cooperating with a sliding eddy current detection probe 3, automatic detection of surface defects of metal bars can be achieved without manual handheld operation, thereby improving detection convenience and efficiency.
[0032] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 As shown, a cleaning mechanism 8 for metal bars to pass through is provided at the front end of the support frame 1 , and the cleaning mechanism 8 includes a cleaning seat 81 , a cleaning tank 82 , a cleaning cover 83 , a cleaning pipe 84 and a cleaning support 85 .
[0033] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, a cleaning seat 81 is arranged on the ground, a cleaning pool 82 is embedded in the cleaning seat 81, a cleaning cover 83 is buckled on the cleaning seat 81, and the cover is provided with the cleaning pool 82, and metal bars are passed through. One end of a cleaning pipe 84 is connected to the cleaning pool 82, and the other end is located at the top of the cleaning cover 83.
[0034] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning supports 85 are provided at the front and rear ends of the cleaning cover 83 and are used to carry and clean the outer wall of the metal bar respectively.
[0035] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, a flushing seat 86 is provided behind the cleaning seat 81, and a flushing pool 87 is embedded in the flushing seat 86. A flushing cover 88 covering the flushing pool 87 is buckled on the flushing seat 86, and a flushing pipe 89 is connected to the flushing pool 87, and the flushing pipe 89 is connected to the top of the flushing cover 88.
[0036] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, a drying seat 9 is provided behind the washing seat 86, and a drying cover 91 for the metal rod to pass through is provided on the drying seat 9.
[0037] When the outer wall of the metal bar is to be cleaned, the metal bar enters the cleaning cover 83 and is clamped by the cleaning support 85. At this time, the cleaning pipe 84 sprays the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 82 onto the outer wall of the metal bar and cooperates with the work of the cleaning support 85 to achieve the cleaning of the outer wall of the metal bar. At the same time, the cleaning liquid can be recycled and reused to reduce waste.
[0038] The metal bar then enters the flushing hood 88, and the flushing pipe 89 sprays the flushing liquid in the flushing tank 87 onto the outer wall of the metal bar, thereby flushing the outer wall of the metal bar and ensuring the cleanliness of the outer wall of the metal bar. At the same time, the flushing liquid can be recycled and reused to reduce waste.
[0039] Finally, the metal bar enters the drying seat 9, at which time the drying seat 9 covers the metal bar. Electric heating or air drying is used to dry the metal bar to ensure the cleanliness of the metal bar surface and avoid affecting the subsequent inspection.
[0040] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning support 85 includes a pair of lower seats 851 , a lower wheel frame 852 , a pair of lower cleaning wheels 853 , an upper seat 854 , an upper wheel frame 855 and an upper cleaning wheel 856 .
[0041] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, a pair of lower seats 851 are distributed on both sides of the cleaning cover 83, and a lower wheel frame 852 is provided on the lower seat 851 and extends into the cleaning cover 83. The lower cleaning wheel 853 is rotatably connected to the lower wheel frame 852 and is located in the cleaning cover 83 and is used to support metal bars.
[0042] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, upper seat 854 is arranged on cleaning cover 83, and upper wheel frame 855 is arranged on upper seat 854, and extends into cleaning cover 83. Upper cleaning wheel 856 is rotatably connected to upper wheel frame 855, and is positioned in cleaning cover 83, and is used for compacting metal bar stock.
[0043] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the middle position of the lower wheel frame 852 is rotatably connected to the lower seat 851, and a guide rod 857 that passes through the wheel frame is provided at the opposite end of the lower seat 851, and a spring 8571 located above the lower wheel frame 852 is sleeved on the guide rod 857.
[0044] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the middle position of the upper wheel frame 855 is rotatably connected to the upper seat 854 , the cleaning seat 81 is rotatably connected to a hydraulic cylinder 858 , and the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 858 is rotatably connected to the end of the upper wheel frame 855 .
[0045] When cleaning the outer wall of a metal bar, as the metal bar enters, it pushes the lower wheel frame 852 and the lower cleaning wheel 853 downward, compressing the lower wheel frame 852's squeezing spring 8571. When the metal bar leaves the lower wheel frame 852, the spring 8571 automatically flips the lower wheel frame 852 and the lower cleaning wheel 853 back to their initial positions. This allows the lower wheel frame 852 and the lower cleaning wheel 853 to automatically adapt to metal bars of different sizes, constantly pressing against the metal bar surface for stable cleaning.
[0046] At the same time, when the metal bar enters, the hydraulic cylinder 858 is first used to control the upper wheel frame 855 and the upper cleaning wheel 856 to flip upward. When the metal bar enters, the upper wheel frame 855 and the upper cleaning wheel 856 are controlled to flip downward, so that the upper cleaning wheel 856 presses the surface of the metal bar, so that the upper wheel frame 855 and the upper cleaning wheel 856 can automatically adapt to metal bars of different specifications, and always press the surface of the metal bar to achieve stable cleaning.
[0047] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, a pair of lower seats 851 are laterally slidably connected to the cleaning seat 81, and a screw 859 is horizontally threadedly connected to the cleaning seat 81, and the screw 859 is rotatably connected to the end of the lower seat 851. Therefore, the distance between the pair of lower seats 851 can be controlled according to the diameter specifications of the metal bar and actual needs to meet different working requirements.
[0048] The specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not limitations of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the embodiments as needed. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
