[0044] A detection method of the metal pipeline circular weld nondestructive detection device, and the detection method is as follows:

[0045] In use, the metal pipeline is inserted into the inside of the two support ring frames 2 and the rotating ring frame 301, so that the position of the circular weld on the metal pipeline corresponds to the rotating ring frame 301, then the second motor 8 is started to drive the double-head screw 7 to rotate, since the sliding seats 6 at the bottom ends of the two support ring frames 2 are threadedly connected with the two opposite screw grooves of the double-head screw 7, the two support ring frames 2 are driven to synchronously move close to each other;

[0046] In the process of moving the support ring frame 2 to the side of the rotating ring frame 301, the end of the connecting rod 310 close to the mounting column 307 is gradually tilted and rotated towards the rotating ring frame 301, thereby pushing the ultrasonic probe 308 to move towards the metal pipe, and the fixed box 4071 on the support ring frame 2 moves towards the pressing ring 401 at the end of the guide fixed plate 304, so that the pressure block 4078 is pressed and moves towards the fixed box 4071. Due to the engagement of the transverse tooth plate 4077 with the internal gear 4075, the internal gear 4075 rotates counterclockwise, and the internal gear 4075 engages with the vertical tooth plate 4073, thereby driving the vertical tooth plate 4073 to move towards the metal pipe, until the four clamping heads 4074 are synchronously moved to center and clamp the metal pipe, facilitating the coaxial arrangement of the rotating ring frame 301 and the metal pipe, facilitating the coaxial movement of the ultrasonic probe 308 along the annular weld for detection, improving the detection effect. At the same time, as the diameter of the metal pipe decreases, the moving distance of the two support ring frames 2 increases, so that the moving distance of the ultrasonic probe 308 towards the metal pipe increases, so that the distance between the ultrasonic probe 308 and the weld is within an appropriate range under different diameters of the metal pipe, so that the position of the ultrasonic probe 308 is self-adapted to the diameter of the metal pipe, facilitating detection;

[0047] During detection, the circuit switch is turned on, so that the two first motors 406 are energized, the driving gear 405 is rotated, the driving gear 405 engages with the gear ring 404, thereby driving the two rotating ring plates 302 to rotate, and then driving the rotating ring frame 301 to rotate, so that the ultrasonic probe 308 moves along the annular weld for detection.

[0048] When the two support ring frames 2 move relative to each other, the two moving plates 903 move relative to each other, and one end of the conductive rod 905 on the moving plate 903 contacts the resistance rod 902, so that the length of the resistance rod 902 inserted into the circuit is adjusted after the two moving plates 903 move. The length of the resistance rod 902 is proportional to the resistance of the resistance rod 902, so that the greater the diameter of the metal pipe, the greater the length of the resistance rod 902 inserted into the circuit and the resistance. The greater the diameter of the metal pipe, the slower the rotating ring frame 301 rotates, so that the linear velocity of the ultrasonic probe 308 moving along the annular weld remains stable when the diameter of the metal pipe changes, facilitating detection.
