Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rail flaw detectors, in particular to a flaw detector with high probe sensitivity. Background Art
[0002] Rail flaw detector refers to an instrument that detects hidden flaws inside the rail or small cracks on the surface, especially the damage to the rail covered by the plywood. According to the working principle of flaw detection, it is divided into two categories: electromagnetic flaw detection and ultrasonic flaw detection. Ultrasonic flaw detectors are widely used in Chinese railways. Ultrasonic waves can propagate at different speeds in solids and liquids, but can hardly propagate in the air. When ultrasonic waves are emitted into rails with core scratches, cracks or other damages, they are blocked at the contact section between the solid and the air, generating reflected waves.
[0003] When the existing rail flaw detector performs flaw detection on the rail, an oxide layer is easily formed on the rail surface. If it is not cleaned in time, the sensitivity of the probe flaw detection will be reduced. In addition, the different roughness of the rail surface leads to uneven thickness of the coupling layer, which also easily reduces the sensitivity of the probe. Therefore, a flaw detector with high probe sensitivity is needed to meet the demand. Utility Model Content

[0023] The first bevel gear 7 is driven to rotate by the motor 6, and the grinding steel brush 11 is connected with the connecting shaft 8, the connecting plate 9 and the spring 10 to rotate on the surface of the rail, so that the oxide layer on the surface of the rail is polished and removed, and the roughness is polished to ensure the smoothness of the rail surface. The engagement between the first bevel gear 7 and the second bevel gear 12 causes the fan blade 13 to rotate to form wind force. The debris polished by the grinding steel brush 11 is cleaned through the guidance of the wind guide plate 14 to prevent the surface debris from mixing with the subsequent coupling agent, thereby improving the sensitivity of the probe during the flaw detector detection process, and the elastic force of the compressed spring 10 allows the grinding steel brush 11 to always be in contact with the surface of the rail to prevent separation caused by wear.
[0024] Specifically, in this embodiment, a dropper 15 is provided in the front flap 3, and the dropper 15 is located between the wind guide plate 14 and the high-sensitivity probe 5. The dropper 15 is connected to the coupling agent box 2 through a pipeline.

The brush 17 is located between the dropper 15 and the high-sensitivity probe 5.

The outer diameter of the baffle 19 is larger than the outer diameter of the slide bar 18 and is located above the connecting disk 9 . The baffle 19 prevents the slide bar 18 from separating from the connecting disk 9 .
[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, a connecting plate 20 is provided on the bottom end of the front flap 3, and a rotating shaft 21 is rotatably installed in the connecting plate 20.
