Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of nondestructive testing, and particularly relates to a mechanical arm digital ray testing tooling for intelligent detection of oxide scale inside superheater and reheater tubes of power plant boilers. Background Art

[0002] The screen superheater, high-temperature superheater and high-temperature reheater of the boiler are made of SA-213T91 ferritic CrMo high alloy steel and SA-213TP347 austenitic stainless steel. When these two materials are used at steam temperatures above 566°C, a loose and unstable oxide layer will form on the inner wall of the tube, which will fall off and block the tube, causing the furnace tube to leak due to overheating, or cause the main steam valve of the steam turbine to be stuck and the steam chamber components to be seriously blown. In the SA-213T91 ferritic material serving under supercritical (ultracritical) conditions, the heat-affected zone at the welded joint is prone to produce holes due to high-temperature creep. After a period of development, multiple holes are connected to form IV-type creep cracking. On the thermal power unit equipment that has been in service for a long time and is used for peak regulation, the oxide scale peeling and blockage cause the hidden danger of overheating and overheating tube bursting. The IV-type creep cracking defect that is difficult to detect seriously restricts the long-term safe operation of the thermal power unit. In order to ensure that the amount of oxide scale accumulation can be detected accurately and efficiently and that type IV creep cracks can be detected in a timely manner, and to realize automatic or semi-automatic, digital, and information-based detection work, improve work efficiency, reduce labor intensity, meet the inspection requirements of different materials, and ensure the long-term safe operation of boiler equipment, it is necessary to develop a digital radiographic inspection tool that can be quickly assembled and disassembled, has a small size, light weight, is convenient to transport, and is easy to operate. By using the tooling to carry a digital radiograph and an imaging board to detect oxide scale on the tube screen, the accumulation of oxide scale inside the tube screen can be accurately discovered, thereby improving the efficiency of digital radiographic inspection.

[0003] During digital radiographic inspection, the digital radiograph and imaging board need to be installed on both sides of the inspected tube screen, placed relatively and fixed, and the distance between the two needs to be set according to the actual inspection focal length. If the tooling is not used, the digital radiograph and imaging board need to be moved, focused, photographed, and the next point taken, and the operation repeated for each inspection point. The repeated movement, fixation, and focusing of the inspection equipment takes a long time, which wastes time for continuous multi-point inspection and has low work efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a digital radiographic inspection tooling for the inspection of oxide scale inside the superheater and reheater tubes of power plant boilers, which can solve the problem that the digital radiograph and imaging board need to be re-placed and focused every time they work, resulting in low efficiency, especially for continuous shooting and multi-point inspection. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to overcome the deficiencies in the above-mentioned prior art, the utility model provides a robot arm digital radiation detection tooling, which can be equipped with a digital radiation machine and an imaging plate for X-ray photography and detection, and can replace manual inspection of the oxide scale inside the tube panel.

[0005] The assembly and disassembly speed of the mechanical arm digital radiographic inspection tooling is fast and easy to carry. The mechanical arm device is fixed on both sides of the tested pipe screen through the pipe clamp device. One mechanical arm device is installed with an imaging board, and the other mechanical arm device is installed with a ray machine. The vertical movement mechanism of the mechanical arm device controls the vertical movement of the mechanical arm, and the horizontal movement mechanism of the mechanical arm device controls the horizontal movement of the mechanical arm to adjust the position to be tested, thereby realizing fast and continuous digital X-ray imaging detection. During the detection, the digital ray machine and the imaging board can move synchronously or separately, and continuously expose the image, which greatly reduces the labor intensity and improves the work efficiency. For pipes that require continuous shooting and multi-point detection, especially elbows, the detection speed is fast, which saves the time of re-placing the detection equipment and repeatedly focusing.
