[0038] The following combination Figure 1-4 The utility model is described in further detail.

[0039] Example 1

The detection mechanism 3 includes an external penetration detection probe 31, and the external penetration detection probe 31 includes a detection coil;

[0044] The conveying mechanism 4 includes a plurality of conveying wheels 41 respectively arranged on a side close to the inlet end of the detection mechanism 3 and a side close to the outlet end of the detection mechanism 3. The conveying wheels 41 are rotatably arranged on the upper surface of the bottom plate 1. The rotation axes of the plurality of conveying wheels 41 are arranged in the same horizontal plane. The conveying wheel 41 includes two coaxially abutting frustum portions 411. The projections of the end surfaces of the two frustum portions 411 abutting each other on the separated end surfaces of the two frustum portions 411 completely fall into the separated end surfaces of the two frustum portions 411. The axis of the detection coil is arranged in the end surfaces of the two frustum portions 411 abutting each other.

[0045] Specifically, the conveying mechanism 4 further includes a driving motor 42 , which is disposed on the lower surface of the bottom plate 1 , and an output end of the driving motor 42 is connected to the rotating shafts of the conveying wheels 41 through a plurality of transmission belts.

[0046] The output end of the driving motor 42 is connected to the rotating shaft of a conveying wheel 41 through a transmission belt, and the transmission shaft of the conveying wheel 41 is connected to the rotating shafts of other conveying wheels 41 through a plurality of additional transmission belts to reduce the number of driving mechanisms and realize synchronous driving.

[0047] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 2 also includes a worm, a worm wheel and a plurality of guide rods 23. The adjusting hand wheel 22 is coaxially connected to the worm. The worm and the worm wheel are meshed with each other. The worm wheel is coaxially provided with a threaded hole. The lifting rod 21 is a screw rod. The lifting rod 21 thread matches the threaded hole. The guide rod 23 is slidably arranged on the base plate 1. The guide rod 23 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the detection mechanism 3.

[0048] When the adjusting hand wheel 22 is rotated, the adjusting hand wheel 22 drives the worm to rotate, the worm drives the worm wheel to rotate, the worm wheel drives the screw matched with the thread to rise and fall, and the screw drives the detection mechanism 3 to rise and fall.

[0049] The guide rod 23 ensures the stability of the detection mechanism 3 during the lifting process.

[0050] In one of the embodiments, the horizontal rotation of the adjusting hand wheel 22 can be converted into vertical rotation by two mutually meshing bevel gears, and then the light rod part of the screw rod is coaxially connected to the vertically rotating bevel gear through a key, and then a nut is arranged on the screw rod, and the nut is fixedly connected to the detection mechanism 3, and the rotation of the screw rod drives the nut to rise and fall, thereby driving the detection mechanism 3 to rise and fall.

[0051] In one of the embodiments, a locking mechanism for locking the worm may be provided.

[0052] In order to facilitate the detection of sub-surface defects of ferromagnetic workpieces, as a further improvement, the detection mechanism 3 also includes a magnetic saturator 32, the magnetic saturator 32 includes two coaxially spaced guide sleeves 33, the guide sleeve 33 includes a guide sleeve 331 and a plurality of connecting sleeves 332 coaxially sleeved on the outside of the guide sleeve 331, the plurality of connecting sleeves 332 and the guide sleeves 331 and the connecting sleeves 332 are detachably connected by a plurality of bolts, the external detection probe 31 is arranged in the magnetic saturator 32, and the detection coil is coaxially arranged between the two guide sleeves 33.

[0053] When eddy current detection is applied to the sub-surface flaw detection of ferromagnetic workpieces, the flaw detection part needs to be saturated magnetized. At this time, a magnetic saturator 32 is needed, and a high magnetic permeability component such as a guide sleeve 33 is needed to guide the magnetic field to the flaw detection part of the inspected workpiece. The several connecting sleeves 332 provided in this embodiment and the guide sleeve 331 and the connecting sleeve 332 are detachably connected by several bolts. When the size of the inspected workpiece changes and the guide sleeve 331 of the corresponding size needs to be replaced, it is sufficient to disassemble the current guide sleeve 331 and the corresponding part of the connecting sleeve 332 without removing the guide sleeve 33 completely, which reduces the difficulty of replacing the guide sleeve 33 and improves work efficiency.

[0054] In order to ensure the parallelism of the inspected workpiece during the transportation process, as a further improvement, it also includes a plurality of upper pressure wheel mechanisms 5, the upper pressure wheel mechanism 5 includes a cylinder 51 and a roller 52, the cylinder 51 is fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the base plate 1, the output rod of the cylinder 51 is vertically arranged and the output end of the output rod is arranged close to the base plate 1, the roller 52 is slidably connected to the output end, and the rotating shaft of the roller 52 is horizontally arranged and perpendicular to the axis of the detection coil.

[0055] By adjusting the stroke of the cylinder 51 , when the inspected workpiece is conveyed to the lower side relative to the cylinder 51 , the roller 52 slightly over-presses the inspected workpiece, thereby ensuring that the inspected workpiece is always in contact with the conveying wheel 41 .

[0058] When the inspected workpiece passes through each upper pressing position sensor in sequence, each upper pressing position sensor transmits a control signal to the controller in sequence, and the controller controls the corresponding upper pressing wheel mechanism 5 to press downward.

[0059] When the upper pressing wheel mechanism 5 is raised when the upper pressing wheel mechanism 5 senses that the inspected workpiece is not in contact with the inspected workpiece, the upper pressing wheel mechanism 5 is raised.

[0060] The magnetic saturation in place sensor is arranged at a position close to the outlet end of the detection mechanism 3. When the magnetic saturation in place sensor senses the workpiece to be detected, the magnetic saturation is started to magnetize the workpiece to facilitate subsequent detection work.

[0061] In order to facilitate marking of defective parts, as a further improvement, a marking machine 6 is further included. The marking machine 6 is arranged on the upper surface of the bottom plate 1 and is electrically connected to the controller.
