Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of materials testing technology, and specifically relates to a device for detecting residual stress in workpieces. Background Technology
[0002] Residual stress is a self-balancing stress that forms inside a workpiece during manufacturing, processing, or service due to factors such as uneven plastic deformation, thermal stress, or phase transformation. It directly affects the workpiece's dimensional stability, fatigue life, corrosion resistance, and structural safety. In aerospace, automotive manufacturing, energy equipment, and precision instrument industries, accurate detection of residual stress in key components (such as pipes and plates) is crucial.
[0003] Currently, methods for detecting residual stress mainly include X-ray diffraction, ultrasonic testing, and magnetic measurement. However, existing testing devices are typically designed for workpieces of specific shapes (such as flat plates or regular cylinders), lacking versatility. For example, traditional testing equipment struggles to simultaneously accommodate the fixation and positioning requirements of tubular and plate samples, often requiring the replacement of specialized fixtures or adjustments to complex mechanical structures, resulting in low testing efficiency, cumbersome operation, and increased equipment costs. Furthermore, existing devices also have shortcomings in sample positioning accuracy, rotational stability, and autofocus capabilities during the testing process, affecting the accuracy and repeatability of measurement results.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an integrated, multifunctional, and easy-to-operate residual stress detection device that can quickly and accurately detect residual stress in workpieces of different shapes (such as pipes and plates) without replacing core components, in order to meet the urgent needs of modern industry for efficient and accurate detection. Summary of the Invention

[0029] This application provides a device for detecting residual stress in a workpiece. 1. It includes a frame 1, a detection device 2, a rotating structure 3, and a control structure 4; The top of the frame 1 is movably connected to a detection device 2, and the side of the frame 1 is provided with two rotating structures 3. The position and movement of the tubular sample and the plate sample are restricted by the rotating structures 3, and the movement of the rotating structures 3 is controlled by a control structure 4.
[0030] The present invention incorporates both a circular portion 131 and a rectangular portion 132 in the through hole 13 on the side of the device. When testing tubular samples, they can be passed horizontally through the symmetrical rotating cylinder 31 and held by the rotating wheel 33 inside the rotating cylinder 31 to scan stress at different angles. When testing plate samples, they can be directly inserted vertically into and fixed through the rectangular portion 132 of the through hole 13. The invention also includes a testing device 2 that can move along the first track groove 12 and a positioning and rotation mechanism 3 driven by the control structure 4. The stress detector 22 and the focal length detector 23 can be flexibly adjusted on the base 21 to ensure precise control of the detection point position and focal length.
[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 7 This application provides a detailed description of a workpiece residual stress detection device.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the workpiece residual stress detection device provided by the present invention mainly consists of a frame 1, a detection device 2, a rotating structure 3, and a control structure 4. The core of this device lies in its ability to adaptively support and drive two different shapes of workpieces, tubular and plate-shaped, through a motion system, to complete high-precision residual stress scanning and detection.
[0033] In this embodiment, a first track groove 12 is machined on the inner side of the protective plate 11 at the top of the frame 1 to provide precise guidance for the horizontal movement of the detection device 2. A special through hole 13 is provided on the side protective plate 11, which consists of a circular portion 131 and a rectangular portion 132. This design is key to achieving "one machine, two uses": the circular portion 131 accommodates the rotating structure 3, while the rectangular portion 132 provides a direct and stable insertion channel for the plate sample. A second track groove 14 on the inner side of the circular portion 131 guides the axial movement of the rotating cylinder 31.
[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the base 21 of the detection device 2 is embedded in the first track groove 12 at the top of the frame via a protrusion 211 at the bottom, allowing the entire detection device 2 to move smoothly back and forth in a linear motion along the first track groove 12. This motion can be driven by a motor to achieve automated scanning. The stress detector 22 integrated at the bottom of the base 21 is used to measure residual stress, while the focal length detector 23 can detect the distance to the workpiece surface in real time, ensuring that the stress detector 22 is always at the optimal working focal length during the scanning process.
[0035] In this embodiment, the tubular sample is horizontally inserted through the through hole 13 on one side of the device, passes through the rotating cylinder 31 on the left side, and then exits through the through hole 13 on the right side.
[0036] During the insertion of the tubular sample, the sample itself compresses the array of rotating wheels 33 inside the rotating cylinder 31. Under pressure, the rotating wheels 33 swing outward around the pin 35 on the first fixed seat 313 via the connecting rod 32, thereby stretching the spring 34 connected to the second fixed seat 314. The counterforce generated by the spring 34 is transmitted to the rotating wheels 33 through the connecting rod 32, causing them to clamp towards the center, thus adaptively and uniformly clamping the tubular sample. This clamping method effectively ensures the alignment of the tubular component and prevents eccentric wobbling during rotation.
[0037] When control structure 4 is activated, integrated controller 41 drives transmission rod 42, which in turn drives friction wheel 43 to rotate. Friction wheel 43, through friction with the outside of rotating cylinder 31, drives the entire rotating cylinder 31 to rotate around its axis. Since the rotating cylinder 31 clamps the tubular sample through the internal rotating wheel 33, the tubular sample also rotates synchronously. At this time, detection device 2 can be fixed at a certain axial position, scanning its circumferential stress by rotating the workpiece; or detection device 2 can be moved along a track while the workpiece rotates slowly, achieving a spiral scan of the tube surface.
[0038] In this embodiment, the plate is simply placed vertically into the frame through the rectangular portion 132 of the through hole 13, and the rotating cylinder 31 is started to rotate until the gap between the opening 311 and the rectangular portion 132 is equal to the thickness of the plate. Then, by controlling the detection device 2 to move linearly along the first track groove 12, the stress detection of a point on a straight line or a region on the side of the plate can be completed.
[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, control structure 4 is the "heart" of the device's movement. The integrated controller 41 receives operating commands and precisely controls the motors at both ends, transmitting power to the friction wheel 43 via the transmission rod 42. By controlling the rotational speed and direction of the friction wheel 43, the rotational speed and angle of the rotating cylinder 31 and the tubular sample can be precisely controlled, thereby meeting the testing requirements of different standards.
[0040] Working principle: Tubular sample inspection: The tubular workpiece is horizontally passed through the two rotating cylinders 31. Under the action of the spring 34, the rotating wheel 33 is pushed towards the center through the connecting rod 32, thereby adaptively clamping the tubular workpiece. The integrated controller 41 drives the friction wheel 43, which in turn drives the rotating cylinder 31 and the tubular workpiece to rotate at a uniform speed. With the help of the movable detection device 2, residual stress scanning is achieved at different positions around the circumference of the tubular workpiece.
[0041] Plate sample inspection: The plate workpiece is vertically placed into the frame through the rectangular part 132 of the through hole 13 and the rotating cylinder 31 is started to rotate until the gap between the opening 311 and the rectangular part 132 is equal to the thickness of the plate; the detection device 2 is controlled to move along the first track groove 12 and the side of the plate is inspected point by point, and the focal length detector 23 ensures that the detection point is always at the optimal focal length.

The invention is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the invention that follow the general principles of the invention and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein.

The scope of the invention is limited only by the appended claims.
