Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of flaw detection equipment technology, and in particular relates to an ultrasonic automatic flaw detection device for nickel alloy rods. Background Technology

[0002] Nickel alloy bars used in hoisting machinery and other special electromechanical equipment are key load-bearing components that are subjected to heavy loads, impacts, and alternating loads for extended periods. Minor internal defects can easily lead to safety accidents such as fractures. To ensure the reliability and safety of equipment operation, non-destructive testing of the bars is necessary to promptly identify potential hazards such as internal cracks, porosity, and inclusions, and to ensure that the material quality meets the safety requirements of special equipment.

[0003] Traditional ultrasonic flaw detection equipment often uses water immersion or local water jacket coupling to inspect rods: the rod is immersed in water, or a water film coupling is formed between the probe and the rod through a local water cavity, and the full length and circumferential coverage are achieved by rotating the rod or rotating the probe to scan. However, because the probe and the rod are in constant relative motion, the water film is easily disturbed, washed away, and broken, making it difficult to stabilize the coupling state. At the same time, the dynamic seal is prone to wear, heat generation, and leakage due to long-term sliding friction, which not only reduces the accuracy and repeatability of the test, but also makes the equipment maintenance frequency too high.

The control cabinet controls the normally open solenoid valve, the pressurized electric push rod and the ultrasonic transceiver unit to work according to the electrical signal fed back by the liquid level probe.

[0010] Preferably, an annular semiconductor cooler is fixedly inserted into the inner side wall of the upper insulation cylinder, and the cooling end of the annular semiconductor cooler is located inside the upper insulation cylinder.

The bar feeding mechanism 3 feeds the bar between the two probe assemblies 6 and discharges it via the bar discharge mechanism 4. The probe assembly 6 includes two symmetrical arc-shaped phased array ultrasonic probes 61, both of which are electrically connected to the ultrasonic transceiver unit 2. An arc-shaped sound-transmitting protective pad 62 is fixed on the arc surface of the arc-shaped phased array ultrasonic probe 61, and the inner diameter of the arc-shaped sound-transmitting protective pad 62 is larger than the inner diameter of the arc-shaped sealing pad 8. The inner diameter of the arc-shaped sound-transmitting protective pad 62 is 0.2 mm larger than the inner diameter of the arc-shaped sealing pad 8. The rod feeding mechanism 3 and the rod discharging mechanism 4 both include several sets of conveying rollers, bearings, frames, motors and other components.

[0021] Four semicircular plates 7 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the corresponding probe assembly 6, and two semicircular plates 7 on the same horizontal plane are respectively set on both sides of the probe assembly 6. An arc-shaped sealing gasket 8 is fixed on the inner wall of the semicircular plate 7. Two semicircular plates 7 on the same vertical plane are jointly installed with a clamping closure assembly 9. The clamping closure assembly 9 includes connecting blocks 91 fixed on the two side walls of the semicircular plate 7. A clamping electric push rod 92 is fixed between the two connecting blocks 91 on the same vertical plane, and the clamping electric push rod 92 is electrically connected to the control cabinet 5.

[0022] The liquid supply unit 10 is located below the probe assembly 6 and is connected to the inner side of the probe assembly 6. The liquid supply unit 10 includes a lower insulated cylinder 101 located below the probe assembly 6, and a higher insulated cylinder 102 is detachably connected to the top of the lower insulated cylinder 101. A pressure-pressurizing electric push rod 103 is fixedly inserted into the bottom of the lower insulated cylinder 101. A piston 104 is fixed to the movable end of the pressure-pressurizing electric push rod 103, and the piston 104 is slidably located inside the lower insulated cylinder 101. The space above the piston 104 inside the lower insulated cylinder 101 and the upper insulated cylinder 102 is filled with coupling agent. Two liquid supply pipes 105 are fixedly inserted at the top of 2. The surface of the arc-shaped sealing gasket 8 is provided with a liquid passage groove 106 on the side near the probe assembly 6. Both liquid supply pipes 105 are connected to the inner side of the arc-shaped sound-permeable protective gasket 62 through the corresponding liquid passage groove 106. One of the semi-circular plates 7 is fixed with an exhaust sealing assembly 12 connected to the liquid passage groove 106. The pressurized electric push rod 103 is electrically connected to the control cabinet 5. The upper insulation cylinder 102 and the lower insulation cylinder 101 are connected by a flange. The lower insulation cylinder 101 can be removed periodically to replace the coupling agent inside. The coupling agent is usually deionized pure water.

[0023] The exhaust sealing assembly 12 includes a vertical pipe 121 fixed to the top of one of the semicircular plates 7, and the vertical pipe 121 is connected to the interior of the liquid passage 106 on the same side. A normally open solenoid valve 122 is fixed to the lower interior of the vertical pipe 121. A detachable liquid level probe 123 is installed on the top of the vertical pipe 121.

Through the normally open solenoid valve 122, the coupling agent can be effectively isolated from the external air and the flow space of the coupling agent can be sealed to ensure that it maintains sufficient stability during the detection process.

[0024] An annular semiconductor cooler 13 is fixedly inserted into the inner side wall of the upper insulation cylinder 102, and the cooling end of the annular semiconductor cooler 13 is located inside the upper insulation cylinder 102. The annular semiconductor cooler 13 is electrically connected to the control cabinet 5. A sealing partition 14 is fixedly installed inside the upper insulation cylinder 102 below the annular semiconductor cooler 13, and a cylinder 15 is fixedly inserted into the center of the sealing partition 14. A liquid inlet is opened at the top of the cylinder 15, and a liquid inlet check valve 16 is fixed inside the liquid inlet. The sealing partition 14... The surface of the device has a return hole, and a return check valve 17 is fixed inside the return hole. Through the inlet check valve 16 and the return check valve 17, the coupling agent can be directionally circulated to ensure that it can fully exchange heat with the cooling end of the annular semiconductor cooler 13. The hot end of the annular semiconductor cooler 13 is located outside the insulation upper cylinder 102, and a cooling fan (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the position of the annular semiconductor cooler 13 is installed inside the casing 1 to assist in the dissipation of heat from its hot end and ensure its continuous cooling effect.

[0025] The return drive unit 11 is fixed inside the housing 1, and the return drive unit 11 drives the probe assembly 6 to move via the semi-circular plate 7. The return drive unit 11 includes a moving frame 111, which is sleeved on the outside of the probe assembly 6. A pushing block 112 is fixed to the side wall of the moving frame 111, and a mounting block 113 is fixed to the side wall of the housing 1. A pushing electromagnetic push rod 114 is fixedly inserted into the side wall of the mounting block 113, and the movable end of the pushing electromagnetic push rod 114 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the pushing block 112. The 11 is equipped with an elastic telescopic component 18, and the movable frame 111 is connected to the semi-circular plate 7 through the elastic telescopic component 18. The elastic telescopic component 18 includes a slide rod 181 fixed on the surface of the connecting block 91, and the slide rod 181 slides through the end face of the movable frame 111. A support spring 182 is fixed between the inner side wall of the movable frame 111 and the connecting block 91. By giving the connecting block 91 and the movable frame 111 a certain telescopic movement space, the impact of vibration on flaw detection during nickel alloy rod transportation can be effectively reduced.

[0026] The operating principle of the present invention is explained as follows: The nickel alloy rod to be tested is placed in the rod feeding mechanism 3, and one end of the rod is inserted into the two arc-shaped phased array ultrasonic probes 61. Then the control cabinet 5 is started, and the control cabinet 5 will immediately start the flaw detection work. After the control cabinet 5 is started, it immediately controls the clamping electric push rod 92 to work. The clamping electric push rod 92 pulls the connecting blocks 91 on both sides to move towards each other, thereby causing the semi-circular plates 7 on both sides and the arc-shaped phased array ultrasonic probe 61 to fit against the outside of the nickel alloy rod. The arc-shaped sealing gasket 8 can form an annular coupling agent gap of about 0.2mm between the arc-shaped sound-transmitting protective gasket 62 and the nickel alloy rod (the inner diameter of the arc-shaped sound-transmitting protective gasket 62 is larger than the inner diameter of the arc-shaped sealing gasket 8). At this time, the clamping electric push rod 92 stops working according to the preset program, and the control cabinet 5 synchronously controls the pressurizing electric push rod 103 to work. The pressurizing electric push rod 103 pushes the piston 104 upward, and the piston 104 will then push the upper... The coupling agent is squeezed into the annular coupling agent gap at the arc-shaped sound-permeable protective pad 62 through the liquid supply pipe 105 and the liquid passage 106. After the coupling agent enters the gap, the air inside the gap will enter the vertical pipe 121 through the liquid passage 106 on the upper side and finally be discharged through the exhaust hole 124. As the coupling agent fills the entire gap, some coupling agent will enter the vertical pipe 121 and overflow the normally open solenoid valve 122. At this time, the liquid level probe 123 will detect that the liquid level of the coupling agent has reached the preset value (the liquid level probe 123 determines the liquid level height in the vertical pipe 121 by emitting infrared light and calculating the time required to receive the reflected infrared light). Then the liquid level probe 123 will send an electrical signal back to the control cabinet 5. After receiving the electrical signal from the level probe 123, the control cabinet 5 immediately controls the normally open solenoid valve 122 to close, simultaneously stops the pressurized electric push rod 103, and starts the ultrasonic transceiver unit 2. The ultrasonic transceiver unit 2 excites the arc-shaped phased array ultrasonic probe 61 to emit detection sound waves and receives the echo signal reflected by the internal defects of the nickel alloy rod. The signal is amplified, filtered, and processed, so that the two arc-shaped phased array ultrasonic probes 61 can be used to detect flaws at the detection position of the nickel alloy rod. Among them, because the semi-circular plate 7 clamps the solid under the action of the clamping electric push rod 92, The probe is fixed on the outside of the nickel alloy rod. Therefore, when the nickel alloy rod moves, it will drive the arc-shaped phased array ultrasonic probe 61 to move through the semi-circular plate 7. So when the arc-shaped phased array ultrasonic probe 61 is performing flaw detection on the nickel alloy rod, it can remain relatively stationary with the nickel alloy rod. Moreover, since the coupling agent fills the inside of the arc-shaped sound-transmitting protective pad 62, the air has also been expelled, which effectively avoids the interference of air bubbles, water film disturbance and interface gaps on the propagation of ultrasonic waves. This makes the coupling state highly stable, and there is no relative sliding, no sealing wear and no frictional heat generation during the detection process, which greatly improves the flaw detection signal-to-noise ratio, detection accuracy and equipment operation reliability. After the ultrasonic transceiver unit 2 receives the detection signal, it synchronously sends a feedback signal to the control cabinet 5. At this time, the control cabinet 5 first controls the pressurized electric push rod 103 to move back, and simultaneously controls the normally open solenoid valve 122 to open. At this time, the coupling agent flows back into the insulation lower cylinder 101 through the supply pipe 105. Then, the control cabinet 5 controls the clamping electric push rod 92 to reset. At this time, the semicircular plate 7 is disengaged from the nickel alloy rod, and the control cabinet 5 controls the pushing electromagnetic push rod 114 to work. The pushing electromagnetic push rod 114 pushes the moving frame 111 to quickly reset through the pushing block 112. At this time, the semicircular plate 7 and the arc-shaped phased array ultrasonic probe 61 will also reset. Then, the control cabinet 5 controls each component to repeat the above steps to perform flaw detection on the next section of the nickel alloy rod. The length of each detection section matches the reset stroke of the pushing electromagnetic push rod 114, and a counterweight is set between adjacent detection sections. The overlapping detection area allows for sequential, uninterrupted, and complete detection of multiple segments, achieving continuous full-coverage flaw detection of the entire length and circumferential cross-section of the nickel alloy rod (the arc-shaped phased array ultrasonic probe 61 has a single detection length range of 100mm, and after retraction, the coverage length of the previous segment is approximately 10mm). The moving frame 111 and the semi-circular plate 7 are connected by a slide rod 181 and a support spring 182. After the semi-circular plate 7 is clamped and fixed to the nickel alloy rod, it maintains an elastic expansion and contraction space with the moving frame 111. Since the rod feeding mechanism 3 is prone to slight vibrations when conveying the nickel alloy rod, this elastic expansion and contraction space effectively buffers and absorbs the vibrations generated during the conveying of the nickel alloy rod, ensuring that the probe and the rod surface remain stably attached and the coupling layer is not damaged. This significantly improves the anti-interference capability, echo signal consistency, and flaw detection accuracy of the detection process. Secondly, during the detection process, the couplant can be cooled by the annular semiconductor cooler 13. When the piston 104 moves upward to squeeze the couplant, the couplant can only flow out along the inlet check valve 16. When the piston 104 moves downward, the couplant can only flow back along the return check valve 17. By directing the flow of the couplant, it can be ensured that the couplant is fully cooled by the annular semiconductor cooler 13, so that the temperature of the couplant remains sufficiently stable. The couplant with a stable temperature can effectively reduce the sound velocity drift and acoustic impedance changes caused by temperature fluctuations, ensuring that the ultrasonic waves propagate stably and attenuate uniformly within the coupling layer. This improves the stability and recognition of the defect echo signal, and further enhances the detection accuracy and long-term reliability of the overall flaw detection system.
