Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] See also Figure 1-3 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0022] In the technical solution, a portable flaw detector includes a rail flaw detector 1, with protective frames 2 installed at the four corners of the rail flaw detector 1. The lower wall of the protective frame 2 is installed with a connecting plate 3. There are two connecting plates 3. The two connecting plates 3 connect the four protective frames 2 together in pairs. The lower walls of the two connecting plates 3 are provided with a clamping mechanism 4.

[0023] The clamping mechanism 4 includes a chute 41, a slider 42, a wheel frame 43, a wheel 44 and a push rod 45. The lower wall of the connecting plate 3 is provided with a chute 41, and a slider 42 is slidably installed in the chute 41. There are two sliders 42, and the lower wall of each slider 42 is installed with a wheel frame 43. The wheel 44 is rotatably installed inside the wheel frame 43. The side wall of the wheel frame 43 is installed with a push rod 45, which can fit the side wall of the external rail.

[0024] Positioning mechanisms 5 are inserted and installed on both the left and right side walls of the connecting plate 3, and the positioning mechanisms 5 can fix the position of the clamping mechanism 4;

[0025] In this technical solution, the rail flaw detector 1 is based on existing technology. The rail flaw detector 1 uses an ultrasonic probe provided below the main body to perform non-destructive flaw detection on the rails while moving. The instrument complies with TB / T2340-2000 "Technical Requirements for Multi-Channel A-Type Display Rail Ultrasonic Flaw Detectors" and TB / T2340-2012 "Rail Ultrasonic Flaw Detectors."

[0026] In order to prevent the rail flaw detector 1 from shaking during its movement on the rail, a clamping mechanism 4 is provided under the connecting plate 3 of the device. The rail is clamped by the wheel frames 43 located on both sides of the rail, and the position of the wheel frames 43 is fixed by the positioning mechanism 5, so that the device is clamped on the rail without affecting the movement of the device, thereby avoiding the rail flaw detector 1 from tipping over and affecting the accuracy of the detection results of the rail flaw detector 1.

[0027] In some technical solutions, connecting frames 6 are installed on the front and rear side walls of the rail flaw detector 1, and a guide wheel 7 is rotatably installed on the inner side wall of the connecting frame 6. A limit ring 8 is installed on the outer side of the guide wheel 7. There are two limit rings 8, and the two limit rings 8 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the guide wheel 7. The two limit rings 8 can respectively fit with the left and right sides of the external rail.

[0028] In this technical solution, the limiting ring 8 on the outer side of the guide wheel 7 can assist the clamping mechanism 4 to improve the stability of the device during movement and avoid shaking of the device during movement.

[0029] In some technical solutions, a roller 9 is sleeved on the outer side of the push rod 45, a rubber sleeve 10 is sleeved on the outer side wall of the roller 9, and the side wall of the rubber sleeve 10 is in contact with the side wall of the outer rail.

[0030] In this technical solution, compared with the direct contact between the top rod 45 and the rail, the provision of the roller 9 can reduce the friction generated after the two contact, making the movement of the device on the rail smoother.

[0031] In some technical solutions, the positioning mechanism 5 includes a threaded hole 51, a screw 52 and a top block 53. The side wall of the connecting plate 3 is provided with a threaded hole 51, and a screw 52 is rotatably installed in the threaded hole 51. The threaded hole 51 is connected to the slide groove 41, and a top block 53 is installed at one end of the screw 52 located in the slide groove 41. The top block 53 can fit with the side wall of the slider 42.

[0032] In this technical solution, after the device is placed on the rail, the screws 52 on both sides of the connecting plate 3 are rotated to push the slider 42 through the push block 53, so that the wheel frame 43 is fitted to the outer side of the rail.

[0033] In some technical solutions, the wheel frame 43 includes a frame body 431, a fixed shaft 432 and a rotating disk 433. The fixed shaft 432 is installed on the inner wall of the frame body 431, the wheel 44 is rotatably installed on the outer side of the fixed shaft 432, and the rotating disk 433 is rotatably installed on the side wall of the frame body 431. The rotating disk 433 can be fitted with the side wall of the external rail.

[0034] In this technical solution, the rotating disk 433 can rotate as the device moves, so as to reduce the friction between the wheel frame 43 and the rail.

[0035] In some technical solutions, one end of a support rod 11 is installed on the rear side wall of the rail flaw detector 1, and a push handle 12 is installed on the other end of the support rod 11.

[0036] Working principle: When inspecting the rails, first lift the device and place it on the rails. Support the device with the guide wheels 7 on the front and rear sides. At this time, the four wheels 44 are in the air. Rotate the screw 52 in the positioning mechanism 5 so that the wheel frames 43 on both sides of the rail fit with the side walls of the rail under the push of the screw 52 and the top block 53, so that the device is fixed on the rails. Then the staff can start the rail flaw detector 1 to perform non-destructive inspection on the rails. During the inspection process, the push handle 12 is used to push the device to move on the rails.
