Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ductile iron pipe manufacturing, in particular to an inner wall detection device for a ductile iron pipe die. Background Art

[0002] Ductile iron pipes are pipes formed by high-speed centrifugal casting of high-quality molten iron added with a spheroidizing agent, and are used for the transportation of water and gas. Ductile iron pipes have the corrosion resistance of iron and the mechanical properties of steel.

[0003] The high-speed centrifugal forming process of ductile iron pipes requires a metal mold, i.e., a pipe die, and the inner cavity of the pipe die determines the product shape of the ductile iron pipe.

[0004] During the use of the pipe die, it is frequently scoured by high-temperature molten iron and frequently heated and cooled, so the inner cavity size of the pipe die is likely to change; at the same time, the frequent heating and cooling cause stress concentration on the inner wall of the pipe die, and it is necessary to perform stress relief treatment on the inner wall of the pipe die. The method used is to punch the pipe die, that is, to use an impact device to strike the pipe die to eliminate internal stress, and evenly distributed punches are formed on the inner wall of the pipe die. The change of the inner cavity size of the pipe die and the size and distribution of the punches affect the operating parameters of the centrifugal ductile iron pipe machine, and the data of the change of the inner cavity size of the pipe die and the size and distribution of the punches need to be obtained through measurement. In the prior art, there is still a method of manually holding a measuring tool for measurement, which has low efficiency and low detection accuracy. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The utility model provides an inner wall detection device for a ductile iron pipe die to solve the technical problems of low efficiency and low detection accuracy in manual collection of existing detection.

[0006] To solve the above problems, an inner wall detection device for a ductile iron pipe die provided by the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] An inner wall detection device for a ductile iron pipe die includes a vehicle body, and the vehicle body has wheels for traveling along the inner wall of the pipe die; a rotating rod is rotatably assembled on the vehicle body, and the axis of the rotating rod is parallel to the axis of the pipe die; a vision detection device is connected to the end of the rotating rod to rotate with the rotating rod, and the vision detection device is used for collecting data information on the surface of the inner wall of the pipe die; a linear driving member is fixed on the vehicle body and is in transmission connection with the wheels of the vehicle body to drive the vehicle body to move axially along the pipe die; a rotary driving member is fixed on the vehicle body and is in transmission connection with the rotating rod.

[0008] The beneficial effects are as follows: When the inner wall detection device of a ductile iron pipe mold of the present utility model is in use, first place the vehicle body inside the ductile iron pipe mold, and then start the rotary drive member, so that the rotary drive member drives the visual detection device to rotate in the circumferential direction, thereby collecting data on the surfaces of various parts inside the ductile iron pipe mold. When the inner wall detection device of a ductile iron pipe mold of the present utility model is in use, while the vehicle body travels on the inner wall of the ductile iron pipe mold, the visual detection device can collect data on the 360-degree surface of the inner wall of the ductile iron pipe mold. It does not require manual detection, is easy to operate, and reduces errors.

[0009] Further, a circular groove is formed at the front end of the vehicle body, and an annular groove is formed on the side wall of the vehicle body in front of the circular groove. The annular groove penetrates the vehicle body forward. A sun gear, a planetary pinion, and an internal gear ring adapted to the circular groove are rotatably assembled in the circular groove. The sun gear is coaxially arranged with the circular groove, the planetary pinion meshes with the sun gear, the internal gear ring meshes with the planetary pinion, and a rotating sleeve adapted to the annular groove is further connected to the side of the internal gear ring facing the annular groove. The rotating sleeve is rotatably assembled in the annular groove and the front side of the rotating sleeve is connected to a rotating rod. The output shaft of the rotary drive member is in transmission connection with the sun gear.

[0010] Beneficial effects: Reduce the rotation speed of the rotating rod, thereby reducing the rotation speed of the visual detection device, and further avoiding accidents where inaccurate data collection occurs due to the visual detection device rotating too fast.

[0011] Further, the output shaft of the rotary drive member is also connected to a speed reducer, and the output shaft of the speed reducer is coaxially connected to the sun gear.

[0012] Beneficial effects: Further reduce the rotation speed of the rotating rod.

The visual detection camera is connected to the lifting end of the lifting drive member to lift in the up and down direction.

[0014] Beneficial effects: Ensure that the distances between the visual detection device and various positions on the inner wall of the mold are the same, and prevent the distance between the visual detection device and the inner wall of the mold from being too far, which affects data accuracy.

[0015] Further, the lifting drive member is a linear module mechanism.

[0016] Beneficial effects: Simple structure, convenient for installation and production. Description of the Drawings

[0030] The linear driving member is a servo motor and is drivingly connected to the rear connecting shaft through a second belt transmission mechanism. The second belt transmission mechanism includes two second belt pulleys. One of the second belt pulleys is coaxially fixed on the output shaft of the linear driving member, and the other second belt pulley is coaxially fixed on the rear connecting shaft, so as to drive the vehicle body 1 to travel on the inner wall of the ductile iron pipe mold.

[0031] A circular groove 5 is also formed at the front end of the vehicle body 1. An annular groove 6 is formed on the side wall of the vehicle body 1 in front of the circular groove 5, and the annular groove 6 penetrates through the vehicle body 1 forward. A sun gear 7, a planetary pinion 8 and an internal gear ring 9 adapted to the circular groove 5 are rotatably assembled in the circular groove 5. The sun gear 7 is coaxially arranged with the circular groove 5. The planetary pinion 8 meshes with the sun gear 7, and the internal gear ring 9 meshes with the planetary pinion 8. Moreover, a rotating sleeve 13 adapted to the annular groove 6 is connected to the side of the internal gear ring 9 facing the annular groove 6. The rotating sleeve 13 is rotatably assembled in the annular groove 6 and the front side of the rotating sleeve 13 extends to the front end of the vehicle body 1.

[0032] The rotating rod 4 is connected to the front end of the rotating sleeve 13 and the axis of the rotating rod 4 is parallel to the axis of the ductile iron pipe mold. A lifting driving member 11 is also provided at the front end of the rotating rod 4.

[0035] The rotation driving member 2 is arranged on the vehicle body 1. The rotation driving member 2 is a servo motor, and the output shaft of the servo motor is connected to a speed reducer 10. The output shaft of the speed reducer 10 is coaxially fixed to the sun gear 7.
