Specific embodiments

[0030] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] The present utility model provides a Figures 1-3 shown ultrasonic automatic detection device for pressure vessel welds, including a base 1, an ultrasonic detection probe 2, a positioning mechanism 3, and a rotating mechanism 4. The base 1 plays a role in fixing and supporting. The ultrasonic detection probe 2 is arranged on one side above the base 1. The ultrasonic detection probe 2 is a USM86 / USM88 ultrasonic flaw detector, which is used to detect the weld position of the pressure vessel. The positioning mechanism 3 is arranged on the base 1. The positioning mechanism 3 is used to form a placement structure on the upper surface of the base 1 and position and align the pressure vessel to be detected. The position of the pressure vessel to be detected is limited by the positioning mechanism 3 to ensure that the pressure vessel is aligned with the ultrasonic detection probe 2. The rotating mechanism 4 is arranged on the positioning mechanism 3. The rotating mechanism 4 is used to form a rotating structure on the positioning mechanism 3 and drive the pressure vessel to rotate at a constant speed. The pressure vessel is stably rotated by the rotating mechanism 4, which is convenient for the ultrasonic detection probe 2 to detect the pressure vessel.

[0032] The positioning mechanism 3 includes a rotating disk 31, a fixed seat 32, a support block 33, an installation groove 34, a fixed rod 35 and a compression spring 36. The rotating disk 31 is arranged on the top of the base 1. The rotating disk 31 is used to install the fixed seat 32 and drive the fixed seat 32 and the pressure vessel to rotate. The lower surface of the fixed seat 32 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rotating disk 31. The inner wall of the fixed seat 32 is arranged in an inclined plane. The fixed seat 32 is used to install and support the pressure vessel. One end of the pressure vessel is inserted into the inner cavity of the fixed seat 32, so that the outer wall of one end of the pressure vessel is pressed against the inner wall of the fixed seat 32, and the axis of the pressure vessel is on the same vertical line as the axis of the fixed seat 32. The support block 33 is arranged in the inner cavity of the fixed seat 32. The support blocks 33 are arranged at equal intervals in a circular array. The support block 33 is used to support the bottom end of the pressure vessel. And by the gravity of the pressure vessel, the support blocks 33 are pressed downward. The installation grooves 34 are arranged in a circular array on the inner wall of the fixed seat 32. The inner cavity of the installation groove 34 is slidably inserted and connected to one end of the support block 33. The installation groove 34 is used to install the support block 33, so that the support block 33 slides vertically in the inner cavity of the installation groove 34. The top end of the fixed rod 35 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the installation groove 34. The fixed rod 35 is used to install the support block 33 and the compression spring 36 to ensure the stable movement of the support block 33 in the vertical direction. The fixed rod 35 is slidably inserted and connected to one end of the support block 33. The compression spring 36 is movably sleeved on the fixed rod 35. The top end of the compression spring 36 is in contact with the lower surface of the support block 33. The compression spring 36 is used to support the support block 33. And when the pressure vessel presses the support block 33 downward, the support block 33 compresses the compression spring 36 deforming it. And by the elastic action of the compression spring 36, the support block 33 is pushed upward. By placing one end of the pressure vessel to be detected into the inner cavity of the fixed seat 32, the support blocks 33 are pressed downward along the fixed rod 35. The support blocks 33 compress the compression spring 36 deforming it, so that the outer wall of one end of the pressure vessel is pressed against the inclined plane of the inner wall of the fixed seat 32, pushing the pressure vessel, and making the axis of the pressure vessel on the same vertical line as the axis of the fixed seat 32, which is convenient for positioning the pressure vessel and ensuring the alignment of the pressure vessel with the ultrasonic detection probe 2.

[0033] The rotating mechanism 4 includes a driving motor 41, a fixing frame 42, a screw rod 43 and a pressing block 44. The output end of the driving motor 41 is in transmission connection with the lower surface of the rotating disk 31. The driving motor 41 is fixedly installed inside the base 1. The driving motor 41 is electrically connected to an external power supply through an external switch and is used to drive the rotating disk 31 and the pressure vessel to rotate. The lower surface of the fixing frame 42 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the base 1. The fixing frame 42 is arranged in a Z shape and is used to install the screw rod 43. The screw rod 43 is in threaded insertion connection with the top of the fixing frame 42. The screw rod 43 corresponds to the axial center position of the rotating disk 31. The screw rod 43 is used to install the pressing block 44. The screw rod 43 rotates in a threaded manner on the fixing frame 42. The upper surface of the pressing block 44 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the screw rod 43. The pressing block 44 is arranged in a circular block shape. As the screw rod 43 rotates, the pressing block 44 drives its movement in the vertical direction, so that the lower surface of the pressing block 44 presses against the upper surface of the other end of the pressure vessel, squeezing and fixing the pressure vessel to ensure that the rotating disk 31 drives the pressure vessel to rotate stably. The rotating disk 31 is rotatably inserted through the top of the base 1. The outer wall of the support block 33 fits against the inner wall of the installation groove 34. The support block 33 is arranged in a long strip shape.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
