[0003] At present, when the eddy current flaw detector is working, it generally detects by attaching the probe to the item to be detected and displaying data on the display screen of the eddy current flaw detector. However, the inventor found in actual applications that: when the eddy current flaw detector uses the probe to detect a metal pipe at a high place, during the wire releasing period, due to the light weight of the probe, the probe and the connecting wire will swing with the wind, resulting in the problem that the probe cannot detect. Therefore, we propose a protective shell for a probe. Summary of the Utility Model
