[0002] Petroleum and natural gas engineering is an engineering technology field that uses scientific theories, methods, technologies and equipment to efficiently drill underground oil and gas resources, maximize and cost-effectively extract oil and gas from formations to the surface, and safely separate, measure and transport oil and gas. As my country develops, its attention to petroleum and natural gas engineering is also increasing. Among them, weld inspection for quality supervision of petroleum and natural gas engineering is an important part.

[0003] The weld inspection of oil pipelines usually adopts non-destructive testing technology. Different non-destructive flaw detectors are used according to different inspection needs, which can be ultrasonic flaw detectors, eddy current flaw detectors, etc.

[0004] Existing non-destructive testing of oil pipeline welds usually uses a manual handheld probe to move along the weld of the oil pipeline to achieve non-destructive testing of the oil pipeline welds. However, due to hand shaking or maintaining a single movement for a long time, it is easy for the probe to be difficult to align with the weld and it is easy to cause fatigue. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve the detection efficiency of petroleum welds, the present application provides a non-destructive detection device for oil pipeline welds.

[0006] This application provides a non-destructive testing device for oil pipeline welds, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A nondestructive testing device for oil pipeline welds includes a pipe body, a testing frame, a detector for nondestructive testing of the pipe body welds, and the testing frame is rotated along the side wall of the pipe body by a rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism includes:

[0008] A roller, the roller is rotatably arranged on the detection frame, and the roller and the tube body are rotatably abutted against each other;

[0009] A chain, the chain passing around the pipe body and being rotatably arranged on the detection frame, the detection frame being rotatable on the pipe body along the chain;

[0010] A driving assembly is provided on the detection frame and is used to drive the detection frame to rotate on the pipe body along the chain.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the detection frame is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the pipe body through a chain, the roller and the side wall of the pipe rotate and abut against each other, and the drive assembly drives the detection frame to rotate along the pipe body through the roller, so that the detection frame rotates along the chain on the pipe body, thereby performing 360-degree non-destructive testing on the pipe body weld, thereby improving the detection efficiency of petroleum welds.

[0012] Furthermore, the driving assembly includes:

[0013] A driving gear, the driving gear being rotatably mounted on the detection frame and meshing with the chain;

[0014] A driving motor is provided on the detection frame and is used to drive the driving gear to rotate.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving motor drives the driving gear to rotate, and the driving gear and the chain are engaged with each other, so that the detection frame rotates along the chain on the pipe body, thereby performing 360-degree non-destructive testing on the pipe body weld, thereby improving the detection efficiency of petroleum welds.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the turntable drives the worm to rotate, and the worm and the worm wheel engage with each other, thereby driving the lead screw to rotate. The worm and the worm wheel are self-locked in reverse, so that only the worm can drive the worm wheel to rotate, and the worm wheel cannot drive the worm to rotate, thereby locking the lead screw.

[0032] Furthermore, a handle is eccentrically provided on the turntable, and the handle is threadedly provided on the turntable, and the handle is used to drive the turntable to rotate.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the handle is threadedly connected to the turntable, and the staff drives the turntable to rotate through the handle eccentrically installed on the turntable, thereby facilitating the rotation of the turntable and adjusting the distance from the detector to the outer wall of the pipeline.
