At this time, rail flaw detection operations are required. During the rail flaw detection operation, the detection wheel film of the flaw detection ball is in direct contact with the rail surface. During the detection, due to the high-speed rolling contact between the detection wheel film of the flaw detection ball and the rail surface, natural wear is inevitably generated, resulting in the thinning of the detection wheel film, or the damage of the detection wheel in poor condition areas, which in turn affects the detection accuracy or causes undetected areas in some sections.

One side of the inclined surface close to the center of the tread surface is provided with a rabbet. The tread surface, the inclined surface and the rabbet form a deep groove, and a metal mesh is arranged inside the tread surface.
[0007] Further, the tread surface, the inclined surface and the rabbet are all integrally cast with polyurethane NDI;
[0008] Through the above technical solutions, it is convenient to integrally cast the tread surface, the inclined surface and the rabbet with polyurethane NDI, so that the three have high hardness, high tensile strength and tear resistance, low compression permanent deformation and wear resistance, and there are no cracks and air bubbles in the three, thus improving the mechanical strength and load-bearing capacity of the three.
[0009] Further, the metal mesh is woven and formed with copper wire;
[0010] Through the above technical solution, it is convenient to improve the mechanical properties of the tread by the metal mesh woven with copper wire, reduce the ultrasonic signal attenuation of the reinforced polyurethane flaw detection ball, and improve the resilience performance of the tread after pressing.
[0011] Furthermore, the edge of the metal mesh is closed and there is no broken wire at the edge;
[0012] Through the above technical solution, the design that the edge of the metal mesh is closed and there is no broken wire can prevent the edge from being damaged when subjected to external force, thereby improving the durability of the tread.
[0013] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] A reinforced polyurethane flaw detection ball proposed by the utility model enhances the mechanical strength of the tread by arranging a reinforcing layer of a metal mesh woven with copper wire inside the tread, and the flaw detection ball is integrally cast by polyurethane NDI, thereby improving the hardness, high tensile strength and tear resistance, and low compression permanent deformation of the flaw detection ball, further improving the wear resistance of the flaw detection ball, and preventing the damage of the flaw detection ball from affecting the detection of the rail.
