[0002] Eddy current flaw detectors are often used in military, aviation, railway, industrial and mining enterprises and can be used in the wild or on-site. When an eddy current flaw detector works, it detects by fitting a probe with the item to be detected. To ensure that the probe is not damaged during the fitting detection process, the probe is often protected by a protective shell.
[0003] Publication No. CN219162053U discloses a protective shell for an eddy current flaw detector probe. In this device, arc-shaped rubber clamping blocks are arranged on both sides inside the installation cavity. When the eddy current flaw detector probe is installed in the installation cavity, by rotating the anti-slip rotation block, the two arc-shaped rubber clamping blocks can clamp the eddy current flaw detector probe. Under the clamping of the two arc-shaped rubber clamping blocks, the eddy current flaw detector probe will be firmly fixed. Thus, the distance between the two arc-shaped rubber clamping blocks can be changed by rotating the anti-slip rotation block to adapt to eddy current flaw detector probes of different widths, increasing the scope of application and facilitating daily use. However, the following problems still exist in the actual use of this patent:
[0004] In this device, by rotating the anti-slip rotation block, the two arc-shaped rubber clamping blocks can clamp the eddy current flaw detector probe.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0026] Please refer to Figure 1-6 , the present invention provides a technical solution: A probe protection device for eddy current testing, including a protective shell 1.

And a bidirectional screw 103 is rotatably connected inside the top of the fixed box 101; A limiting mechanism 2 is installed on the outer side of one end of the bidirectional screw 103, and a fixing component 3 is installed inside one end of the protective shell 1;
[0027] Among them, the limiting mechanism 2 includes a limiting box 201 installed on one side of the protective shell 1, and one end of the bidirectional screw 103 penetrates through the limiting box 201 and is rotatably connected. Fixed tubes 202 are symmetrically installed inside both ends of the limiting box 201. A fixed rod 203 is slidably connected inside the fixed tube 202. A push plate 204 is installed at one end of the fixed rod 203. A first telescopic spring 205 is sleeved outside the fixed rod 203. Fixed sleeves 206 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the fixed tube 202. A sliding rod 207 is slidably connected inside the fixed sleeve 206.

A rubber block 216 is installed on one side of the slider 214. A rubber pad 217 is embedded inside the bottom end of the protective shell 1. By rotating the bidirectional screw 103 to drive the movement of the connecting plate 210, the movement of the connecting plate 210 drives the moving plate 211 to move along a gathering and unfolding trajectory, thereby causing multiple rubber blocks 216 to squeeze the probe. At this time, there is extrusion between the bottom end of the probe and the rubber pad 217, so that the rubber block 216 drives the slider 214 to slide on the support rod 213, and then utilizes the tension generated by the second telescopic spring 215, so as to enable the rubber block 216 to continuously squeeze the probe, and thus can automatically adjust the limit according to the specifications of the probe, thereby greatly improving the stability when the probe is fixed.

A third telescopic spring 307 is provided between the moving block 306 and the inside of the sliding box 305. One end of the push block 304 is fixedly connected to the moving block 306. Due to the contractility of the third telescopic spring 307, the plug rod 303 can be inserted into the cover 301, so as to achieve the effect of quickly installing and disassembling the cover 301, thereby facilitating the staff to assemble between the probe and the protective shell 1, greatly improving the probe installation efficiency, and bringing convenience to the staff during use.
[0030] Working principle: Before using this kind of probe protection device for eddy current testing, it is necessary to first check the overall condition of the device to ensure that it can work normally. According to Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, by pulling the two groups of fixed rods 203 to slide inside the fixed tube 202, at this time the fixed rod 203 drives the push plate 204 to slide inside the limit box 201. At this time, the first telescopic spring 205 contracts, and then the sliding rod 207 slides inside the fixed sleeve 206. By releasing the fixed rod 203, and then through the reset property of the first telescopic spring 205, the plug 208 can be inserted into the jack 209, so as to fix and limit the adjusted bidirectional screw rod 103, effectively avoiding the phenomenon that the bidirectional screw rod 103 rotates due to external force factors, thereby improving the installation stability of the probe inside the protective shell 1, bringing convenience to the staff during use. By rotating the bidirectional screw rod 103 to drive the movement of the connecting plate 210, the movement of the connecting plate 210 drives the moving plate 211 to move along a converging and expanding trajectory, and then multiple rubber blocks 216 squeeze the probe. At this time, the bottom end of the probe is squeezed between the rubber pad 217, and then the rubber block 216 drives the slider 214 to slide on the support rod 213, and then using the tension generated by the second telescopic spring 215, the rubber block 216 can continuously squeeze the probe, so as to automatically adjust the limit according to the specifications of the probe, thereby greatly improving the stability when the probe is fixed. And through the design of the rubber block 216, it can effectively avoid the phenomenon that the probe is damaged due to external impact on the protective shell 1, realizing the anti-fall and buffering effect, bringing practicality to the staff during use. By the movement of the moving plate 211 driving the movement of the guide plate 219, the movement of the guide plate 219 drives the rolling connection between the ball 220 and the guide groove 218, so that the movement of the moving plate 211 is more stable;
[0031] By inserting the cover 301 into the inner part of one end of the protective shell 1, and then pulling the push block 304 to drive the insertion rod 303 to slide inside the bracket 302. At this time, the moving block 306 slides inside the sliding box 305. At this time, the third telescopic spring 307 extends. By releasing the push block 304, and then through the contraction property of the third telescopic spring 307, the insertion rod 303 can be inserted into the cover 301, so as to achieve the effect of quickly installing and disassembling the cover 301, thereby facilitating the staff to assemble between the probe and the protective shell 1, greatly improving the probe installation efficiency, and bringing convenience to the staff during use.
