Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a non-destructive testing device for mold surface hardness, including a testing mechanism 1 and a handle 2. The testing mechanism 1 is used for non-destructive testing of mold surface hardness. The testing mechanism 1 includes a housing 101, with a frame 120 inside the housing 101. A front cover plate 102 is installed on the front end face of the housing 101, and the surface of the front cover plate 102 is in contact with the surface of the frame 120. A display screen 103 and a switch button 116 are installed on the surface of the front cover plate 102. The display end, control end of the display screen 103, and button end of the switch button 116 are respectively movably sleeved on the front cover plate 102. Inside the adapter hole, a storage shell 104 is fixed to the surface of the front cover 102 near the bottom. The bottom of the storage shell 104 contacts the bottom of the inner wall of the frame 120. A connecting hole 105 is pre-set on the surface of the front cover 102 near the bottom. The interior of the connecting hole 105 is connected to the interior of the storage shell 104. A rectangular plate 106 is installed at the opening of the connecting hole 105. An ultrasonic probe 107 is placed inside the storage shell 104. A rear cover 119 is provided on the rear end face of the outer shell 101. The surface of the rear cover 119 contacts the surface of the outer shell 101. The surface of the rear cover 119 is in contact with the surface of the frame 120. The surface is fixed, and each heat dissipation hole reserved on the rear cover 119 is fitted with a ventilation grille 108. Multiple fans 109 are installed on the surface of the rear cover 119, and the air outlet of each fan 109 corresponds to each heat dissipation hole reserved on the rear cover 119. An ultrasonic generator 110 is installed on the top of the inner wall of the frame 120, and a switching power supply 111, a microprocessor 114, and an adapter board 115 are installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the frame 120. A wireless interface assembly 112 and a power socket 113 are installed on the surface of the rear cover 119 near the bottom. The connection end of the wireless interface assembly 112 and the power socket 113 are connected to each other. The connecting ends of the base 113 are movably fitted into the adapter holes reserved on the rear cover plate 119. The inner wall of the frame 120 has two symmetrical locking blocks 117 that movably pass through it. The opposite ends of the two locking blocks 117 are slidably embedded in the inner wall of the outer shell 101. The surface of the storage shell 104 has two symmetrical slots 118. The opposite ends of the two locking blocks 117 are respectively located inside the two slots 118. The connecting end of the wireless interface component 112 is equipped with a wireless antenna 121. The outer wall of the outer shell 101 has an auxiliary hole 122. The auxiliary hole 122 is used for the interface on the adapter plate 115 to communicate with the outside.

[0035] In this embodiment, when non-destructive testing of the mold surface hardness is required, the rectangular plate 106 is first removed from the connecting hole 105. Then, the ultrasonic probe 107 placed inside the storage shell 104 is taken out through the connecting hole 105. Next, the wire connector of the ultrasonic probe 107 is connected to the adapter plate 115 through the auxiliary hole 122. Then, using the paper tube made of polyester film paper and the auxiliary mechanism 3, a coupling agent is evenly applied to the detection end face of the ultrasonic probe 107. When the coupling agent is evenly applied to the detection end of the ultrasonic probe 107, the detection end of the ultrasonic probe 107 coated with coupling agent is brought into contact with the mold surface. Then, using the cooperation of the display screen 103 and the microprocessor 114, the ultrasonic probe 107 is directed to the surface of the mold. The ultrasonic generator 110 and all fans 109 issue a start command. Upon receiving this command, the ultrasonic generator 110 generates a high-frequency electrical signal, which is transmitted to the ultrasonic probe 107 via the adapter plate 115. The ultrasonic probe 107, upon receiving the signal, converts it into mechanical vibration, generating ultrasonic pulses. These pulses, with a specific frequency and wavelength, are coupled to the mold surface via a coupling agent. The ultrasonic waves entering the mold then undergo reflection, refraction, and scattering when encountering different structural or hardness regions within the mold. After propagating a distance within the mold, some ultrasonic waves return to the mold surface and are received by the ultrasonic probe 107, which then processes them. Mechanical vibration is converted into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the microprocessor 114 via the adapter board 115. The microprocessor 114 amplifies and filters the received electrical signal, and stores the processed data in its memory. Simultaneously, it analyzes the processed data based on the measured ultrasonic propagation time, propagation distance, known material properties, and data model to calculate the surface hardness of the mold. The calculated data is then transmitted to the display screen 103 and displayed on its screen. The calculated hardness data is also stored in its memory. At the same time, all the fans 109 activated engage with pre-drilled holes in the housing 101 to draw in low-temperature air from the environment. Then, by utilizing the low-temperature air entering the housing 101, all the activated fans 109, the adapter holes reserved on the rear cover 119, and all the ventilation grilles 108, the heat distributed inside the space composed of the housing 101, the front cover 102, and the rear cover 119 is removed. When it is necessary to upload the calculated mold surface hardness data to a remote server via the network, the data stored in the memory on the microprocessor 114 can be uploaded to the remote server directly by using the wireless interface component 112, the display screen 103, and the wireless antenna 121. When it is necessary to perform another non-destructive test on the mold surface hardness, the probe end of the ultrasonic probe 107 should be cleaned first, and then the above operation steps should be repeated.

[0036] Example 2: According to Figures 1-9 As shown, the detection mechanism 1 is equipped with an auxiliary mechanism 3. The auxiliary mechanism 3 is used to evenly apply coupling agent to the detection end face of the detection probe. The auxiliary mechanism 3 includes a storage tank 301, a concave block 303, a rectangular hole 302, two magnetic strips 310, a gear pump 311, and a placement rack 313. The inner wall of the concave block 303 has a pre-set discharge hole 305 for discharging coupling agent. A circular tube 306 connected to the inside of the discharge hole 305 is fixed to the top of the concave block 303. A tube cap 307 is fixed to the top of the circular tube 306. A motor 308 is installed on the top of the tube cap 307. A rotating plate 309 is provided inside the circular tube 306. The motor 308, the rotating plate 309, and the circular tube 306 are connected to the magnetic strips 310. 06 is used to push the coupling agent conveyed into the round tube 306 to the discharge hole 305. The inlet and outlet ends of the gear pump 311 are both connected to the conveying pipe 312. The bottom end of the rotating shaft of the rotating plate 309 is rotatably embedded in the top of the concave block 303. The bottom of the actuating plate of the rotating plate 309 is in contact with the top of the concave block 303. The side of the actuating plate of the rotating plate 309 is in contact with the inner wall of the round tube 306. The top of the actuating plate of the rotating plate 309 is in contact with the bottom of the tube cover 307. The top end of the rotating shaft of the rotating plate 309 moves through the bottom of the tube cover 307. The output end of the motor 308 is installed with the top end of the rotating shaft of the rotating plate 309. One of the conveying pipes 31 The inlet end of pipe 2 is connected to the bottom outlet end of the storage tank 301, and the outlet end of another delivery pipe 312 is connected to the top inlet end of the pipe cover 307. An L-shaped plate 304 is movably inserted through the inner wall of the concave block 303. The upper side of the L-shaped plate 304 is in contact with the top of the inner wall of the concave block 303. The contact surfaces of the two magnetic strips 310 are connected by opposite magnetic poles. One of the magnetic strips 310 is fixedly embedded in the surface of the L-shaped plate 304. The gear pump 311 is installed on the top of the placement frame 313. The storage tank 301 and the concave block 303 are both fixed on the top of the placement frame 313. The interior of the rectangular hole 302 is connected to the interior of the concave block 303. The detection mechanism 1 includes a housing. 101, a rectangular hole 302 is pre-set on the inner wall of the outer shell 101, another magnetic strip 310 is fixedly embedded on the outer wall of the outer shell 101, a handle 2 is added to the top of the outer shell 101, a frame 120 is provided inside the outer shell 101, a shelf 313 is fixed on the frame 120, a front cover plate 102 is added to the front end face of the outer shell 101, a storage shell 104 is fixed on the surface of the front cover plate 102 near the bottom, an ultrasonic probe 107 is placed inside the storage shell 104, a display screen 103 and a switch button 116 are added to the surface of the front cover plate 102, and a switching power supply 111, a microprocessor 114 and an adapter board 115 are added to the bottom of the inner wall of the frame 120.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the ultrasonic probe 107 needs to be coated with coupling agent, the L-shaped plate 304 is first removed from the concave block 303. The moving L-shaped plate 304 will then cause the magnetic strip 310 on it to separate from the magnetic strip 310 on the outer casing 101. Subsequently, through the cooperation of the rectangular hole 302 and the concave block 303, a paper tube made of polyester film is fixed inside the discharge hole 305. Then, the ultrasonic probe 107 is moved so that it passes through the rectangular hole 302 and enters the concave block 303. Finally, the probe end of the ultrasonic probe 107 is inserted into the paper tube inside the discharge hole 305. When the probe end of the ultrasonic probe 107 is fully inserted into the paper tube, the paper tube still has space. The ultrasonic probe 107 is then kept stable and does not move. Then, through the cooperation of the display screen 103, the microprocessor 114, and the motor drive chip, the gear pump 311 is activated. The activated gear pump 311, with the cooperation of its output and input delivery pipes 312, extracts the coupling agent from the storage tank 301. Subsequently, through the two delivery pipes 312 and the activated gear pump 311, the agent is delivered to the section consisting of the round tube 306, the top of the concave block 303, and the bottom of the tube cap 307. Inside the space formed by the section and one side of the rotating plate 309, when the running time of the gear pump 311 is reached, the microprocessor 114 will shut down the gear pump 311 through the motor drive chip, stopping the injection of coupling agent into the space. Then, the display screen 103, the microprocessor 114, and the motor drive chip will start the motor 308. At this time, the started motor 308, with the cooperation of the fixed tube cover 307 and the concave block 303, will drive the rotating plate 309 to rotate stably. At this time, the rotating plate 309 will use the toggle plate on it to drive the coupling agent inside the space to move its position. When the position of the coupling agent is moved, the coupling agent will move its position. As the coupling agent passes through the discharge hole 305 and continues to move, some of the coupling agent will fill the space left by the paper tube, while the rest of the coupling agent will continue to move. When the running time of the motor 308 is reached, the microprocessor 114 will use the motor drive chip to turn off the motor 308. At this time, the rotating plate 309 will rotate back to the initial position. Then, the probe end of the ultrasonic probe 107 will be slowly moved out of the discharge hole 305 to prevent the coupling agent evenly coated on the probe end face of the ultrasonic probe 107 from deforming. Then, it will be moved out of the concave block 303 and then out of the rectangular hole 302.

[0038] The overall effect and working principle of the mechanism are as follows:

[0039] In the preparation stage, first connect multiple fans 109, ultrasonic generator 110, switching power supply 111, wireless interface component 112, power socket 113, microprocessor 114, adapter board 115 and switch button 116 in accordance with electrical safety specifications, equipment interface standards and functional requirements. Then connect the power socket 113 to the external power supply with the prepared power cord. Next, press the switch button 116 to start the entire hardness non-destructive testing equipment. Then, using the cooperation of display screen 103 and microprocessor 114, send control commands to ultrasonic generator 110 to adjust parameters such as frequency, power, and pulse width. Then set the running time after the gear pump 311 starts and the running time after the motor 308 starts. Then, remove the front cover 102 and open the liquid inlet cover of the liquid storage tank 301 in sequence, inject an appropriate amount of coupling agent into the liquid storage tank 301, and after completing the coupling agent injection operation, reset the liquid inlet cover of the liquid storage tank 301 and the front cover 102 back to their original positions in sequence.

[0040] Before testing, when it is necessary to perform non-destructive testing on the surface hardness of the mold, the rectangular plate 106 is first removed from the inside of the connecting hole 105. Then, the ultrasonic probe 107 placed inside the storage shell 104 is taken out through the connecting hole 105. Next, the wire connector of the ultrasonic probe 107 is connected to the adapter plate 115 through the auxiliary hole 122.

[0041] During the coupling agent application stage, when the ultrasonic probe 107 needs coupling agent application, the L-shaped plate 304 is first removed from the concave block 303. The moving L-shaped plate 304 then causes the magnetic strip 310 on it to separate from the magnetic strip 310 on the outer casing 101. Subsequently, through the cooperation of the rectangular hole 302 and the concave block 303, a paper tube made of polyester film paper (pre-prepared, characterized by its difficulty in coupling agent adhesion) is fixed inside the discharge hole 305. Next, the ultrasonic probe 107 is moved, allowing it to pass through the rectangular hole 302 and enter the concave block 303. Finally, the probe end of the ultrasonic probe 107 is inserted into the discharge hole 305. Inside the paper tube 5, when the probe end of the ultrasonic probe 107 is fully inserted into the paper tube, there is still space left in the paper tube (for the coupling agent to enter and be applied to the probe end face of the ultrasonic probe 107). The ultrasonic probe 107 is then kept stable and does not move. Then, through the cooperation of the display screen 103, the microprocessor 114, and the motor drive chip (pre-installed on the microprocessor 114), the gear pump 311 is started. The started gear pump 311, with the cooperation of its output and input delivery pipes 312, extracts the coupling agent from the storage tank 301. Subsequently, through the cooperation of the two delivery pipes 312 and the started gear pump 311, the coupling agent is delivered... The coupling agent is delivered into the space formed by the round tube 306, the top of the concave block 303, the bottom of the tube cover 307, and one side of the rotating plate 309. When the running time of the gear pump 311 is reached, the microprocessor 114 will shut down the gear pump 311 through the motor drive chip, stopping the injection of coupling agent into the space. Then, the display screen 103, the microprocessor 114, and the motor drive chip will start the motor 308. The started motor 308, in cooperation with the tube cover 307 and the concave block 303 in the fixed state, will drive the rotating plate 309 to rotate stably. At this time, the rotating plate 309 will use its actuating plate to move the coupling agent inside the space. When the position of the coupling agent is moved, the coupling agent will move. As the coupling agent passes through the discharge hole 305 and continues to move, some of the coupling agent will fill the space left by the paper tube (achieving uniform application of coupling agent to the detection end face of the ultrasonic probe 107), while the rest of the coupling agent will continue to move. When the running time of the motor 308 is reached, the microprocessor 114 will use the motor drive chip to turn off the motor 308. At this time, the rotating plate 309 will rotate back to the initial position. Then, the detection end of the ultrasonic probe 107 will be slowly moved out of the discharge hole 305 to prevent the coupling agent uniformly applied to the detection end face of the ultrasonic probe 107 from deforming. Then, it will be moved out of the concave block 303 and then out of the rectangular hole 302.

[0042] In the post-detection stage, after the coupling agent is evenly applied to the probe end of the ultrasonic probe 107, the probe end coated with coupling agent is brought into contact with the mold surface. Then, using the display screen 103 and the microprocessor 114, a start command is sent to the ultrasonic generator 110 and all fans 109. Upon receiving the command, the ultrasonic generator 110 generates a high-frequency electrical signal and transmits it to the ultrasonic probe 107 via the adapter plate 115. Upon receiving this electrical signal, the ultrasonic probe 107 converts it into mechanical vibration, generating ultrasonic pulses. These ultrasonic pulses then generate ultrasonic pulses with a specific... The frequency and wavelength are coupled to the mold surface through a coupling agent (such as petroleum jelly). The ultrasonic waves entering the mold then undergo reflection, refraction, and scattering when encountering different structural or hardness regions within the mold. After propagating a certain distance within the mold, some ultrasonic waves return to the mold surface and are received by the ultrasonic probe 107. This ultrasonic mechanical vibration is then converted into an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the microprocessor 114 via the adapter board 115. The microprocessor 114 then amplifies, filters, and performs other preprocessing on the received electrical signal, storing the processed data in its memory. Simultaneously, it also adjusts the measured... By combining ultrasonic propagation time, propagation distance, known material properties, and data models, the processed data is analyzed to calculate the surface hardness of the mold. The calculated data is then transmitted to display screen 103 and displayed on its screen. Simultaneously, the calculated hardness data is stored in its memory. At the same time, all activated fans 109 engage with pre-drilled holes in the housing 101 to draw in low-temperature air from the environment. The low-temperature air entering the housing 101, along with the activated fans 109, the adapter holes on the rear cover 119 (corresponding to the fans 109), and all other components... The ventilation grille 108 helps to remove heat (heat generated by the internal components of the space) distributed within the space consisting of the outer shell 101, the front cover 102, and the rear cover 119. When the calculated mold surface hardness data needs to be uploaded to a remote server via the network, the data stored in the memory on the microprocessor 114 can be uploaded to the remote server directly by using the wireless interface component 112, the display screen 103, and the wireless antenna 121. When another non-destructive test of the mold surface hardness is required, the probe end of the ultrasonic probe 107 should be cleaned first, and then the above operation steps should be repeated.

[0043] The formula for calculating the surface hardness of the mold is as follows: Where H is the hardness, a1 and a2 are constants, υ is the propagation speed, e is the correction coefficient, and f(ρ,E,ν) is a function of the material density ρ, elastic modulus E, and Poisson's ratio ν.

[0044] υ is the propagation speed, S is the known propagation distance of the ultrasonic wave in the mold, and t is the time it takes for the ultrasonic wave to travel from emission to reception of the reflected wave.

[0045] The locking block 117, the locking slot 118, the storage shell 104, and the front cover plate 102 installed on the outer shell 101 cooperate to prevent the rear cover plate 119 from driving the frame 120 out of the outer shell 101.

[0046] Among them, ultrasonic probe 107, fan 109, ultrasonic generator 110, switching power supply 111, wireless interface assembly 112, power socket 113, microprocessor 114, adapter board 115, switch button 116, wireless antenna 121, motor 308 and gear pump 311 are all existing technologies, and their models can be selected according to the actual situation. They will not be explained in detail here.
