Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline welding, in particular to a non-destructive internal detection mechanism for pipeline girth welds. Background Art

[0002] Pipeline engineering is a widely used construction technology and occupies an important position in construction projects. There are many types of pipelines, mainly used to transport gas and fluid media. At present, pipelines are mainly made of welded steel pipes. Since the pipelines are affected by welding heat during the welding process, the structure and performance of the welded joints will change greatly, which will seriously affect the overall mechanical properties of the pipelines. Therefore, the welds of the pipelines need to be inspected.

[0003] There are many methods for detecting internal welds in pipelines, among which eddy current testing is a conventional non-destructive testing method. It uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to detect defects on the surface or near the surface of the conductor. This method can be used to detect and locate the circumferential welds on the inner wall of the pipeline. Internal pipeline inspection generally uses an internal through-type eddy current probe, but the coil size of this probe should be close to the inner diameter of the pipeline to achieve a better detection effect. This will cause the probe to be relatively large and difficult for robots to carry it for inspection. Another method is to use a surface probe, but because the inspection is on a curved surface, the surface probe has a smaller coverage range and is easily affected by local corrosion defects. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a non-destructive internal testing mechanism for pipeline girth welds to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

When the device moves to the welding position, under the action of the camera, the staff controls the detection disk to align with the weld, and the second servo motor drives the detection disk to rotate at a low speed so that the infrared rangefinder rotates at a uniform speed. If the weld is intact and undamaged, the value of the infrared ray must be within a certain range. If the weld is damaged, the infrared ray will penetrate the pipeline.

[0023] By means of the above structure: when working, the detection component is connected to the mounting rod 2 to complete the assembly of the device, and then the device is placed inside the pipe, and the position of the driving component is adjusted by the control component so that the driving wheel 8 contacts the inner wall of the pipe, and then the first servo motor 9 controls the driving wheel 8 to rotate so as to drive the device to move along the inner wall of the pipe, and the camera 14 takes pictures of the inner wall of the pipe, so that the operator can understand the position change of the device. When the device moves to the welding position, under the action of the camera 14, the staff controls the detection plate 5 to align with the weld. At this time, the infrared rangefinder 6 works to emit infrared rays, and the width of the infrared rays is greater than the width of the weld. During detection, the second servo motor The machine 10 drives the detection disk 5 to rotate at a low speed so that the infrared rangefinder 6 rotates at a uniform speed. If the weld is intact and undamaged, the value of the infrared ray must be within a certain range. If the weld is damaged, the infrared ray will penetrate the pipeline. At this time, the ray length is infinitely extended, resulting in a drastic change in the ray data, thereby judging that there is a defect in the weld at this position. At the same time, when the infrared ray length of the infrared rangefinder 6 changes drastically, the second servo motor 10 stops working.

[0024] Example 2

When the pipeline weld is detected, the electric telescopic rod 13 drives the extension rod 12 to extend and retract, thereby adjusting the position of the driving wheel 8 according to the different diameters of the pipeline, so as to facilitate the detection of pipelines of different specifications.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, a connecting groove 15 is provided on the outer wall of the mounting rod 2, and a connecting block 16 is welded on the outer wall of the mounting block 3 near the connecting groove 15. The connecting block 16 is adapted to the connecting groove 15. Both the outer wall of the top of the mounting rod 2 and the outer wall of the connecting block 16 are provided with fixing holes. A fixing pin 17 adapted to the fixing hole is inserted into the inner wall of the fixing hole. The length of the fixing pin 17 is greater than the thickness of the connecting block 16. The fixing pin 17 connects the mounting rod 2 to the mounting block 3, which is convenient for installation and disassembly of the device and for carrying the device.

[0027] How this utility works:

[0028] During operation, the detection component is connected to the mounting rod 2 to complete the assembly of the device, and then the device is placed inside the pipeline. The position of the driving component is adjusted by the control component so that the driving wheel 8 contacts the inner wall of the pipeline. Then the first servo motor 9 controls the driving wheel 8 to rotate so as to drive the device to move along the inner wall of the pipeline. The camera 14 takes pictures of the inner wall of the pipeline to facilitate the operator to understand the position change of the device. When the device moves to the welding position, under the action of the camera 14, the staff controls the detection disk 5 to align with the weld. At this time, the infrared rangefinder 6 works to emit infrared rays, and the width of the infrared rays is greater than the width of the weld. During detection, the second servo motor 10 drives the detection disk 5 to rotate at a low speed so that the infrared rangefinder 6 rotates at a uniform speed. If the weld is intact and undamaged, the value of the infrared ray must be within a certain range. If the weld is damaged, the infrared ray will penetrate the pipeline. At this time, the ray length is infinitely extended, resulting in a drastic change in the ray data, thereby judging that there is a defect in the weld at this position. At the same time, when the infrared ray length of the infrared rangefinder 6 changes drastically, the second servo motor 10 stops working. At this time, the ray is emitted from the inside of the pipeline to locate the damaged part of the pipeline weld, thereby facilitating the repair of the weld.

[0029] When inspecting the pipeline weld, the electric telescopic rod 13 drives the extension rod 12 to extend and retract, thereby adjusting the position of the driving wheel 8 according to the different diameters of the pipeline, which is convenient for inspecting pipelines of different specifications. The fixing pin 17 connects the mounting rod 2 with the mounting block 3, which is convenient for installation and disassembly of the device and for carrying the device.
