[0022] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the utility model provides a water tank for a rail vehicle wheel ultrasonic non-destructive testing device, comprising a water tank body 2, wherein a mounting bracket is arranged at the bottom of the water tank body 2, and a wheel rotation unit 6 for supporting the wheel is fixed on the mounting bracket; the bottom and side walls of the water tank body 2 are both provided with connecting holes, and the tail ends of the mounting bracket and the wheel rotation unit 6 are provided with screw holes, and bolts pass through the connecting holes and are threadedly matched with the screw holes so that the tail ends of the mounting bracket and the wheel rotation unit 6 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom and side walls of the water tank body 2; the diameter of the mounting hole is larger than the diameter of the bolt rod and smaller than the diameter of the bolt head, that is, there is a gap I4 between the mounting hole and the bolt I5, and there is a gap II10 between the mounting hole and the bolt II9; an O-type sealing ring I3 is installed on the end face of the bolt I5 head matched with the screw hole on the mounting bracket that fits with the water tank body 2; an O-type sealing ring II7 is installed on the end face of the wheel rotation unit 6 that fits with the water tank body 2, and the screw hole at the tail end of the wheel rotation unit 6 is located within the inner circle of the O-type sealing ring II7.

[0024] The principle of the utility model is that the connection hole on the water tank body 2 for connecting with the mounting bracket and the wheel rotating unit 6 is larger than the diameter of the bolt rod, generally 1-2 mm is appropriate, so that it can be installed even if the positioning is slightly deflected. In addition, in order to avoid leakage, an O-type sealing ring I3 is provided on the end face of the head of the bolt I5, and an O-type sealing ring II7 is provided on the end face of the tail end of the wheel rotating unit 6. The sealing ring is fitted with the water tank body 2 to achieve the purpose of sealing, thereby avoiding coupling water leakage.

[0025] In this embodiment, an annular mounting groove I is formed on the end surface where the head of the bolt I5 is in contact with the water tank body 2, and the O-type sealing ring I is embedded in the mounting groove I. An annular mounting groove II is formed on the end surface where the tail end of the wheel rotating unit 6 is in contact with the water tank body 2, and the O-type sealing ring II7 is embedded in the mounting groove II. The mounting groove facilitates the installation and positioning of the O-type sealing ring.

[0026] Since the rotating wheel on the wheel rotating unit 6 needs to be driven by power, the rotating shaft of the wheel rotating unit 6 extends out of the side wall of the water tank body 2 through the through hole opened on the side wall of the water tank body 2. In order to avoid leakage points at the through hole, the through hole is located within the inner ring range of the O-ring II7. The O-ring II7 forms a seal to prevent leakage. In order to make the O-ring II7 evenly stressed throughout the circumference to achieve a better sealing effect, there are multiple screw holes at the rear end of the wheel rotating unit 6 and they are evenly arranged on the circumference along the rotating shaft. Of course, it can be foreseen that there are also multiple bolts II9 used to cooperate with the screw holes.

[0027] In addition, the water tank body 2 in this embodiment is composed of a bottom plate and four side walls, front, rear, left and right; wherein the front and rear side walls are rectangular with different heights, and the left and right side plates are trapezoidal, so that the opening of the water tank body 2 is an inclined surface. The water tank is installed on an inclined base, and the opening of the water tank is inclined in the opposite direction to the base, so that after the water tank is installed, its opening is exactly horizontal.

[0028] The mounting bracket includes a mounting base plate 1, on which two support beams 11 parallel to the axis of the water tank are fixed. The wheel rotating unit 6 is fixed to the two support beams arranged side by side by bolts, which is convenient for loading, unloading and positioning.

[0029] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that the above preferred embodiments should not be regarded as limiting the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention should be based on the scope defined by the claims. For ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
