The drive gears 35 drive the rotating gears 36 to rotate at the same time, and the rotating gears 36 drive a plurality of limit sliders 37 to slide inside the annular limit chute 38. While rotating, the rotating gear 36 drives the metal pipe body 2 to rotate through the arc-shaped anti-slip clamping plate 362 inside, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the metal pipe body 2 during non-destructive testing, thereby improving the detection efficiency.
