Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of welding detection, in particular to an ultrasonic weld detection device capable of stable sliding. Background Art

[0002] At present, the use of ultrasonic automatic flaw detection is a very economical and effective means to inspect and control the quality of pipe welds. It is also a necessary detection method for the production of important pipelines in recent years. During the welding process, due to the influence of various factors, cracks, pores, slag inclusions, incomplete penetration and lack of fusion defects are easily generated in the welds. The existence of defects can easily form stress concentration and produce cracks, leading to steel structure fractures, and reduce the corrosion resistance of the welds.

[0003] The principle of ultrasonic automatic flaw detection is that the ultrasonic probe emits high-frequency ultrasonic waves, which propagate along the inside of the weld pipe. When the ultrasonic waves encounter different density interfaces or defects in the weld, they will be reflected or refracted to form specific sound wave signals. These reflected sound wave signals, i.e. echoes, will be received by the ultrasonic probe. After the signal is analyzed by the control system, the shape of the defect is depicted. The ultrasonic probe needs to move along the weld under the control of the weld tracking system.

[0004] The existing ultrasonic detection probe holder is not stable enough in horizontal movement during use, and the moving distance cannot be accurately controlled. At the same time, during the ultrasonic test, the test probe (i.e., ultrasonic probe) must be in contact with the workpiece to be tested (such as a steel pipe). When testing the weld on the bent pipe, the ultrasonic probe cannot be quickly adjusted according to the needs of the bent pipe weld. Utility Model Content

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, it should be noted that the detection probe 501 of the detection component 5 is arranged above the base 1, and a first sliding platform 201 is connected between the detection component 5 and the first slide rail 2. The first sliding platform 201 moves horizontally along the length direction of the first slide rail 2 through the first linear drive device 3. The first linear drive device 3 includes a rotating motor 301, a first screw rod 302 and a fixed sleeve 303. The fixed sleeve 303 is arranged on one side of the first sliding platform 201.

[0026] like Figure 2As shown, further, in the above scheme, the output end of the rotating motor 301 is connected to the first screw rod 302, and the first screw rod 302 is driven to rotate by the rotating motor 301, driving the fixed sleeve 303 mounted on the first screw rod 302 to reciprocate along the length direction of the first screw rod 302, thereby driving the first sliding platform 201 to move along the length direction of the first slide rail 2, so that the detection component 5 moves horizontally along the length direction of the base 1.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, it should be noted that the bottom end face of the first sliding platform 201 is provided with a second sliding rail 4 extending along its length direction, and the second sliding rail 4 is provided with a second sliding platform 603, and the detection component 5 is arranged on the second sliding platform 603, and the second sliding platform 603 is driven by the second linear drive device 6 to move along the length direction of the second sliding rail 4, thereby controlling the detection component 5 to move horizontally along the width direction of the workpiece, which can effectively detect arc welds or bent pipe welds, the movement is more stable, and it can be quickly adjusted according to the weld.

[0030] Furthermore, in the above scheme, the detection component 5 includes a third linear drive device 7 with an output end facing vertically downward, a detection probe 501 connected to the output end of the third linear drive device 7 , and elastic wheels 502 arranged on both sides of the detection probe 501 .

[0031] Furthermore, in the above scheme, the third linear drive device 7 is a linear drive cylinder 701, and a landing bracket 702 is provided at the output end of the linear drive cylinder 701. A detection probe 501 with the output end facing downward is provided in the middle of the landing bracket 702, and elastic wheels 502 are provided near the two ends of the landing bracket 702.

[0032] Furthermore, in the above scheme, the outer surface of the elastic wheel 502 is covered with a layer of rubber, and a telescopic bracket is connected to the middle of the elastic wheel 502. The telescopic bracket includes a first telescopic bracket 503 and a second telescopic bracket 504. The outer surface of the telescopic bracket is sleeved with a spring 505.

After the rotation angle is completed, the locking sleeve 903 is manually pushed downward to reset the fixing block 904 and engage it in the fixing groove 905, so that the first shaft body 901 and the second shaft body 902 are coaxially fixed to prevent the second shaft body 902 from loosening during horizontal movement, causing the angle of the detection component 5 to shift.

[0038] It should be noted that in one embodiment of the present invention, when the weld is detected on a bent pipe with a vertical bend, the third linear drive device 7 presses down the rubber wheel so that the rubber wheel abuts against positions close to both sides of the workpiece in the width direction, thereby fixing the workpiece and maintaining the stability of the horizontal movement of the detection component 5. After the first linear drive device 3 detects the right-angled side of one side of the bent pipe, the rotation structure 9 controls the steering of the rubber wheel to keep the rubber wheel abutting against positions on both sides of the width direction of the bent workpiece, thereby maintaining the stability of the workpiece transmission.

It should be pointed out that ordinary technicians in this technical field can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
