[0024] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the following detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present utility model is given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] Referring to Figures 1-5 , which is the first embodiment of the present utility model, a portable eddy current flaw detector for steel pipes is provided. This portable eddy current flaw detector for steel pipes includes a flaw detector main body 8, and also includes a box body 1 and a box cover 101 hinged thereto. Support legs 2 are hinged at the bottom corners of the box body 1. A mounting plate 3 is provided inside the box body 1. The flaw detector main body 8 is mounted on the mounting plate 3. The corners of the mounting plate 3 are connected to the box body 1 through folding rods 4, and the folding rods 4 are in transmission connection with the support legs 2. A positioning plate 7 is elastically connected to the mounting plate 3, and the positioning plate 7 is in snap-fit connection with the box body 1.

[0027] In the above technical solution, when the mounting plate 3 and the flaw detector main body 8 are both arranged inside the box body 1, the support legs 2 are in contact with the bottom of the box body 1. The folding rod 4 is arranged to enable the mounting plate 3 to move vertically inside the box body. When the mounting plate 3 rises from inside the box body 1, it drives the folding rod 4 to rotate. At the same time, the folding rod 4 drives the support legs 2 to rotate. When the flaw detector main body 8 is higher than the top of the box body 1, the support legs 2 form an angle greater than 90° with the bottom of the box body 1. The support legs 2 cooperate to support the box body 1 at a raised height, so that the flaw detector main body 8 can be arranged at a height convenient for personnel to view and operate.

[0028] One end of the box cover 101 is hinged to one side of the upper end of the box body 1 through a hinge, and the other end of the box cover 101 is connected and fixed to the box body 1 through a buckle. And a handle is provided on the front side of the box body 1. After the box cover 101 and the box body 1 are closed and locked, the box body 1 can be driven to move through the handle.

[0029] It can be understood that the hinged joints of the four support legs 2 and the box body 1 are arranged in a trapezoidal structure, so that when each support leg 2 is in contact with the bottom of the box body 1, two adjacent support legs 2 can be displaced and staggered, thereby minimizing the occupied space of the device after being stored.

[0030] A support rod 201 is slidably connected inside the support leg 2, and a bolt 202 is threadedly connected to the movable end of the support leg 2. One end of the bolt 202 abuts and cooperates with the support rod 201.

[0031] In the above technical solution, when the device is unfolded and placed on the ground, by adjusting the support rod 201 inside a single support leg 2, the support rod 201 can be adjusted and adapted according to the uneven state of the ground. Then, tightening the bolt 202 can limit the support rod 201, so as to achieve the horizontal placement of the box body 1.

[0032] The folding rod 4 is composed of two struts hinged to each other. One strut is hinged to the box body 1, and the other strut is hinged to the mounting plate 3.

[0033] In the above technical solution, the two struts are arranged in a V shape, and the two folding rods 4 in the axial direction are symmetrically arranged, so that multiple folding rods 4 cooperate to realize the vertical lifting movement of the mounting plate 3 inside the box body 1.

[0034] One end of the folding rod 4 is fixedly connected with a first gear 5, and one end of the support leg 2 is fixedly connected with a second gear 6. The first gear 5 is meshed and connected with the second gear 6.

[0035] In the above technical solution, when the mounting plate 3 rises to drive the folding rod 4 to extend, and the end of the lower strut rotates, the first gear 5 drives the second gear 5 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby simultaneously driving the support leg 2 to rotate and open.

[0036] It can be understood that the gear 5 is coaxially connected to the hinge joint of the lower side strut, and the gear 6 is coaxially connected to the hinge joint of the support leg 2, and the diameter of the gear 5 is larger than that of the gear 6, so that the folding rod 4 drives the support leg 2 to rotate at a large angle when rotating at a small angle.

[0037] The rotating end of the support leg 2 is provided with an abutting surface 203, and a fixing block 102 is abutted and fitted on the abutting surface 203. The fixing block 102 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box body 1. At the same time, when the support leg 2 rotates to fit with the bottom of the box body 1, the bottom of the fixing block 102 protrudes from the support leg 2, and the box body 1 can be placed and supported by the fixing block 102.

[0038] In the above technical solution, when the support leg 2 is fully rotated and unfolded, the support leg 2 can be rotationally limited by the abutting of the fixing block 102 and the abutting surface 203, so that the support leg 2 provides stable support for the box body 1.

[0039] When in use, place the box body 1 on the ground. After opening the box cover 101, move the positioning plate 7 to cancel its insertion connection with the box body 1, and then raise the mounting plate 3 to drive the flaw detector main body 8 to rise out of the upper side of the box body 1, so that the positioning plate 7 is clamped with the box body 1 again. When the mounting plate 3 rises, it drives the folding rod 4 to rotate, and the gear 5 drives the gear 5 to rotate in the reverse direction, thereby driving the support leg 2 to rotate and open at the same time until the fixing block 102 abuts against the abutting surface 203, realizing that the support leg 2 provides a raised support for the box body 1 and enabling the flaw detector main body 8 to be arranged at a height convenient for personnel to view and operate.

[0040] When the ground is uneven, adjust the support rod 201 inside the support leg 2, and the support rod 201 can be adjusted and adapted according to the uneven state of the ground. Then tighten the bolt 202 to limit the support rod 201, so as to realize the horizontal placement of the box body 1.

[0041] Embodiment 2

[0042] Refer to Figure 2 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the positioning plate 7 has an L-shaped structure, the positioning plate 7 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 3, a lifting hole 701 is formed through the mounting plate 3 on the positioning plate 7, and a spring 702 is elastically connected between the positioning plate 7 and the mounting plate 3. A plurality of positioning holes 103 for inserting and mating with the positioning plate 7 are formed in the box body 1.

[0043] In the above technical solution, the positioning plate 7 can be driven to move through the lifting hole 701, and the mounting plate 3 can be driven to adjust the displacement. The positioning holes 103 are respectively opened at the lower end and the upper end inside the box body 1. When the positioning plate 7 is inserted into the lower positioning hole 103, the mounting plate 3 is limited inside the box body 1, so that the flaw detector main body 8 can be stably placed inside the box body 1. When the positioning plate 7 is inserted into the upper positioning hole 103, the flaw detector main body 8 can be arranged on the upper side of the box body 1, so that the operation interface and the display interface are completely exposed, facilitating personnel operation and viewing.

[0044] The remaining structures are the same as those of Embodiment 1.

[0045] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered by the scope of the claims of the present invention.
