[0046] Furthermore, by switching the connection position between the sliding part and the first guide rail, the fixed connection between the two is achieved, and the adjustment range achieved is limited. Correspondingly, a secondary adjustment unit is provided between the primary adjustment unit and the wear-resistant shoe 3, which includes a driving part and a movable part connected to the output end of the driving part.

[0055] Further explanation, the use principle of the utility model is as follows: after the first adjustment mechanism 5 completes the adaptability adjustment of the steel pipe 14, the steel pipe 14 passes through the second coil 4, the rotating spindle 1 starts to rotate, the second coil 4 (magnetization coil) is energized to generate an axial static magnetic field in the steel pipe 14, the electromagnetic ultrasonic instrument sends a signal to the primary coil, and passes an alternating current to the first coil (excitation and receiving coil) through the secondary coil. At this time, the first coil is the excitation coil, and a dynamic alternating magnetic field is generated in the steel pipe 14. Under the coupling effect of the above two magnetic fields, magnetostrictive strain will occur in the steel pipe 14, causing particle vibration, and generating ultrasonic waves propagating in the radial direction. The ultrasonic wave waveform is a transverse wave. The ultrasonic wave propagates in the steel pipe 14 and will be reflected when encountering the inner wall of the pipeline. The reflected ultrasonic wave will react with the static magnetic field provided by the through-type magnetization coil to generate a new dynamic alternating magnetic field, and will be received by the first coil to form a pulse reflection signal, and will be transmitted to the host computer via the electromagnetic ultrasonic instrument, and the signal will be processed by the host computer to obtain the wall thickness data. Furthermore, since the ultrasonic wave will be reflected and propagated back and forth between the upper and lower surfaces of the steel pipe 14 for many times until it is attenuated to the point where it cannot be extracted, the first coil can collect multiple reflected echo signals. By measuring the time interval t between two adjacent reflected echo signals, the thickness d=v*t / 2 of the pipeline test point can be obtained, where v is the transverse wave propagation speed of the ultrasonic wave in the steel pipe 14. Further preferably, driven by the drive motor 8, the rotating spindle 1 rotates, and at the same time, the steel pipe 14 also moves linearly in a linear transmission manner, so that the probe can perform a spiral scan on the steel pipe 14 to achieve all-round thickness measurement of the steel pipe 14.

[0056] In actual application, the steel pipe thickness measuring device of the utility model needs to be connected to the steel pipe transmission system for application, so as to measure the thickness of the steel pipe 14 during the axial transmission of the steel pipe 14. In this way, the vertical and longitudinal positions of the rotating main shaft 1 need to be adjusted to achieve the coaxial setting of the rotating main shaft 1 and the steel pipe 14. Correspondingly, the thickness measuring device also includes a second adjustment mechanism 13.

[0057] Furthermore, the second adjustment mechanism 13 includes a longitudinal adjustment unit and a vertical adjustment unit, wherein the longitudinal adjustment unit includes a second guide rail 1302 arranged longitudinally and a sliding platform 1301 slidably connected to the second guide rail 1302, and the second guide rail 1302 is a plurality of second guide rails 1302 arranged at intervals in the transverse direction. The vertical adjustment unit is arranged on the sliding platform 1301 and driven by a motor to achieve vertical position adjustment of the base 2.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment, there are preferably three second guide rails 1302, wherein the second guide rail 1302 in the middle is a stator, and the sliding platform 1301 is a mover, and the two form a linear motor, thereby realizing the longitudinal displacement of the sliding platform 1301. The vertical adjustment unit includes a motor and a lifting part 1303 disposed at the four corners of the sliding platform 1301, and the lifting part 1303 includes a screw and a plate, and a screw structure is formed between the two. When the screw rotates, the plate rises or falls. Furthermore, a first gear and a second gear that are meshed with each other are also provided below the plate. The first gear is sleeved on the screw and fixedly connected to the screw, and the second gear is perpendicular to the first gear, and the second gear is connected to an external power source. The second gear drives the first gear to rotate, and then the lifting and lowering of the plate is realized through the screw structure.

[0059] In one embodiment, a motor is provided on the sliding platform 1301, and its output shaft is respectively connected to the two lifting parts 1303 on both sides of the longitudinal direction, and the lifting parts 1303 are driven to rise and fall by driving the second gear. Further, the two lifting parts 1303 on the same side are transmitted through a transmission assembly. For the convenience of description, the two lifting parts 1303 on the same side are respectively the first lifting part and the second lifting part, wherein the motor output shaft is directly connected to the second gear of the first lifting part to drive the first lifting part to move, and the transmission assembly includes a third gear, a fourth gear and a transmission chain, wherein the third gear is fixedly connected to the motor output shaft, and the fourth gear is coaxially arranged with the second gear in the second lifting part. Such an arrangement enables the third gear to rotate when the motor output shaft rotates, and drives the fourth gear to rotate through the transmission chain, thereby driving the second gear in the second lifting part to rotate, so as to complete the rotation of the second lifting part, thereby completing the synchronous lifting control of the four lifting parts through one motor.

[0060] The through-type coil magnetized steel pipe thickness measuring device in the utility model includes a rotating main shaft sleeved on the outer periphery of the steel pipe, a first coil is arranged at the end of the rotating main shaft, and a second coil is also arranged on the outer periphery of the first coil. The first coil and the second coil respectively generate a constant magnetic field and an alternating magnetic field for the steel pipe, so as to obtain the ultrasonic transverse wave generated by the continuously alternating magnetostrictive strain, so as to achieve the measurement of the thickness of the steel pipe. Furthermore, by adopting a contoured wear-resistant boot, a butterfly-shaped coil, and setting a first adjustment mechanism, the adaptation of steel pipes of different sizes is achieved, and the signal of the electromagnetic ultrasonic instrument is transmitted to the probe through an electromagnetic coupling ring, so as to achieve non-contact control of the probe and facilitate the rotation operation of the probe; at the same time, a second adjustment mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the base, which is used to adjust the longitudinal and vertical positions of the device, so as to adapt to the linear propulsion direction of the steel pipe, so that the thickness measuring device can be directly applied to the steel pipe production line, and has good application value.
