[0013] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0014] As Figure 1 、 2 shown, the ultrasonic detection simulation tooling for the hot extrusion nozzle of the nuclear power super pipeline includes a simulation specimen, and the size, process, and heat treatment of the simulation specimen are the same as those of the nozzle to be inspected. For the convenience of engraving artificial defects and ultrasonic detection, a sector-shaped through hole 8 is machined on the pipeline and around the nozzle, and the sector-shaped through hole 8 surrounds 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 of the circumference of the nozzle.

[0015] Combined with Figure 3 A transverse artificial groove 2 is made in the circumferential direction of the outer wall of the nozzle seat area 6 of the nozzle, a longitudinal artificial groove 1 is made in the axial direction of the outer wall, a transverse artificial groove 2 is made in the circumferential direction of the inner wall, and a longitudinal artificial groove 1 is made in the axial direction of the inner wall, that is, a total of four artificial grooves in the nozzle seat area are made.

[0016] In the transition zone 7 of the nozzle, an artificial groove is made on each of the upper and lower inner walls at the R arc in the 0° (axis of the mother pipe) direction, and an artificial groove is made on each of the upper and lower outer walls at the R arc. The upper artificial groove on the inner wall corresponds to the upper artificial groove on the outer wall. Similarly, the lower artificial groove on the inner wall corresponds to the lower artificial groove on the outer wall, that is, a total of four artificial grooves 5 in the 0° direction. In the same way, in the transition zone 7 of the nozzle, an artificial groove is made on each of the upper and lower inner walls at the R arc in the 45° (oblique direction of the mother pipe) direction, and an artificial groove is made on each of the upper and lower outer walls at the R arc, that is, a total of four artificial grooves 4 in the 45° direction; in the transition zone 7 of the nozzle, an artificial groove is made on each of the upper and lower inner walls at the R arc in the 90° (circumferential direction of the mother pipe) direction, and an artificial groove is made on each of the upper and lower outer walls at the R arc, that is, a total of four artificial grooves 3 in the 90° direction. Only three directions are given in this embodiment. According to needs, multiple groups can also be made.

[0017] As Figure 4 shown in the transition zone 7, the oblique incidence wave probe ⑤ scans the four artificial grooves 5 in the 0° direction from the mother pipe side (0°), the oblique incidence wave probe ⑥ scans the four artificial grooves 3 in the 90° direction from the mother pipe side (90°), and the oblique incidence wave probe ⑧ scans the four artificial grooves 4 in the 45° direction from the mother pipe side (45°).

[0018] In the nozzle seat area 6, the oblique incidence wave probe ⑦ scans the two longitudinal artificial grooves 1 in the nozzle seat area in the circumferential positive and negative directions from the outer circular surface; the oblique incidence wave probe ④ scans the two transverse artificial grooves 2 in the nozzle seat area in the axial positive and negative directions from the inner circular surface. The direct incidence wave probe ① performs end face scanning, and the direct incidence wave probes ② and ③ are for auxiliary scanning.

[0019] All oblique incidence wave probes obtain sufficiently obvious signal feedback at the artificial grooves at the corresponding positions on the simulated specimen. The DAC curve or alarm gate is made according to the artificial grooves on the inner and outer walls to evaluate the defects of the inspected hot extrusion nozzle.
