Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rail vehicle detection, and particularly relates to a magnetic saturation device for eddy current detection of a rail vehicle bogie. Background Art
[0002] The bogie of a rail vehicle is a key load-bearing structure for the operation of rail transit vehicles. The use of bogies on vehicles is to increase the load capacity, length and volume of the vehicle, and improve the train operation speed to meet the needs of the development of railway transportation. Ensure that under normal operating conditions, the car body can be reliably located on the bogie, and the rolling of the wheels along the rails is converted into the translation of the car body along the line through the bearing device. The bogie is an independent component of the vehicle, and the number of connecting parts between the bogie and the car body is reduced as much as possible. The bogie is used to support the car body, bear and transmit various loads and forces between the car body and the wheels or between the wheel-rail and the car body, and evenly distribute the axle load. The structure of the bogie should facilitate the installation of the spring damping device, so that it has good damping characteristics to alleviate the interaction between the vehicle and the line, reduce vibration and impact, reduce dynamic stress, and improve the running stability and safety of the vehicle.
[0003] The bogie frame and its parts are made of medium and heavy plate low alloy steel. Ferromagnetic materials have a large magnetic permeability, and the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials will cause great interference to the eddy current detection signal, which results in that the conventional eddy current detection technology is only limited to the detection of surface defects of the welds of the rail vehicle bogie.

The magnetic saturation device can move left and right on the workpiece to be inspected through the universal wheels 3;
[0025] Screw holes are respectively arranged on both sides of the housing 1 to adjust the height of the eddy current probe. When detecting a flat weld, the eddy current probe is adjusted to a flat state for detection; when detecting a weld with a reinforcement, the eddy current probe is adjusted upward to the surface of the weld to overcome the influence of the weld reinforcement.
