[0027] See also Figure 1-9 The utility model provides a technical solution: a detection device for the weld of a wind turbine tower, comprising a weld detector 1, a probe 3 for detecting welds, a data line 2 and a lead seat 6 for transmitting information detected by the probe 3 into the weld detector 1, and a base 4 for realizing a quick connection between the probe 3 and the lead seat 6.

A connecting component 7 and a driving component 5 are also provided on the base 4.

[0028] The connecting assembly 7 includes a fastening bolt 71 that can be threadedly connected to the probe 3, a fixing nut 72 fixedly installed inside the base 4, a transmission ring gear 73 rotatably set inside the base 4, a first driven gear 74 meshing with the transmission ring gear 73, a square rod 75 fixedly installed on the first driven gear 74, and a limit block 76 fixedly installed on the end of the square rod 75; the fastening bolt 71 is threadedly connected to the fixing nut 72, the square rod 75 is slidingly connected to the fastening bolt 71, the limit block 76 is located in the internal cavity of the fastening bolt 71, and annular tooth blocks for meshing are provided on the inner and outer rings of the transmission ring gear 73, and the transmission ring gear 73 is also meshed and connected with the driving gear 55. The transmission ring gear 73 designed in this way can improve the flexibility of the overall structure and ensure its linkage effect.

[0029] The driving assembly 5 includes a connecting head 51 rotatably set on the base 4, a central shaft 52 fixedly connected to the connecting head 51, a friction block 53 fixedly mounted on the central shaft 52, a stop block 54 slidably set inside the base 4, a slide plate 541 fixedly connected to the stop block 54, a rotating shaft 56 rotatably set on the base 4, an elliptical block 57 fixedly mounted on the end face of the rotating shaft 56, and an auxiliary spring 58 fixedly connected to the elliptical block 57 and the slide plate 541 at both ends respectively. A driving gear 55 is also fixedly mounted on the lower end face of the stop block 54; a friction pattern for enhancing the friction force between the stop block 54 and the friction block 53 is provided on the stop block 54, the elliptical block 57 is located above the auxiliary spring 58, and the arc surface of the elliptical block 57 is tangent to the slide plate 541; a hexagonal socket for cooperating with a hexagonal wrench is provided on the connecting head 51, and a knob is provided on the end of the rotating shaft 56 passing through the base 4. The knob is also provided with anti-slip patterns to prevent the user from slipping when rotating the rotating shaft 56.

[0030] The connecting head 51 is also provided with an auxiliary component 8, which includes a movable plate 81 slidably set on the connecting head 51, a ring gear 82 and a threaded rod 83 rotatably set on the connecting head 51, a secondary bevel gear 84 fixedly mounted on the end face of the threaded rod 83, a main bevel gear 85 meshing with the secondary bevel gear 84, a first connecting shaft 86 fixedly connected to the main bevel gear 85, a second driven gear 88 meshing with the ring gear 82, a second connecting shaft 89 fixedly mounted on the second driven gear 88, and a pulley group 87 for realizing transmission between the first connecting shaft 86 and the second connecting shaft 89. There are six movable plates 81 in total, and the number of secondary bevel gears 84 and the number of threaded rods 83 are consistent with the number of movable plates 81. The six movable plates 81 are respectively parallel to the six side walls of the hexagonal socket on the connecting head 51, so that the movable plate 81 can change the size of the internal socket of the connecting head 51, thereby expanding the scope of application of the overall device.

[0031] Working principle: When the probe 3 in the weld detector 1 needs to be replaced, insert the hexagonal wrench into the connector 51, rotate the swivel 56 on the base 4, and the elliptical block 57 fixed at the end of the swivel 56 rotates synchronously, pushing the slide 541 fixedly connected to the stop block 54 to slide downward, so that a gap is generated between the stop block 54 and the friction block 53. At this time, the central shaft 52 fixedly connected to the friction block 53 will rotate synchronously with the connector 51, and the driving gear 55 fixed at the other end of the central shaft 52 is also engaged with the transmission ring gear 73, and the transmission ring gear 73 is engaged with the first driven gear 74. The square rod 75 fixed on the first driven gear 74 is also slidably connected to the fastening bolt 71, and the fastening bolt 71 is threadedly connected to the fixing nut 72 fixed inside the base 4. Therefore, after the connector 51 is rotated, the central shaft 52, the driving gear 55, the transmission ring gear 73 and the first driven gear 74 are driven by the fixing nut 72, which drives the fastening bolt 71 to be unscrewed from the inside of the base 4 and then screwed into the inside of the probe 3 to complete the installation of the probe 3. By adjusting the rotation direction of the connector 51, the fastening bolt 71 can be unscrewed from the inside of the probe 3 to facilitate the replacement of the probe 3. Finally, the rotary shaft 56 is loosened, and the auxiliary spring 58 fixedly connected to the slide plate 541 and the base 4 at both ends respectively can push the stop block 54 and the slide plate 541 to slide toward the friction block 53 until the stop block 54 contacts the friction block 53. At this time, the friction pattern on the stop block 54 can generate a certain friction force with the friction block 53, thereby preventing the friction block 53 and the central shaft 52 from rotating abnormally, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure.

[0032] In actual application, when a hexagonal wrench does not match the size of the initial hole of the connector 51 and the size of the hole on the connector 51 needs to be adjusted, the ring gear 82 on the connector 51 is rotated. Because the ring gear 82 is engaged with the second driven gear 88, the second connecting shaft 89 fixed on the second driven gear 88 is connected to the first connecting shaft 86 through the pulley set 87, and the main bevel gear 85 fixed on the first connecting shaft 86 is engaged with the secondary bevel gear 84 fixed on the threaded rod 83. Therefore, the threaded rod 83 is driven by the structure. 3 will rotate synchronously with the rotation of the ring gear 82, and the movable plate 81 sliding inside the connecting head 51 is also threadedly connected to the threaded rod 83. Then, after the threaded rod 83 rotates, the movable plate 81 will slide inside the connecting head 51. There are six movable plates 81 on the connecting head 51, and there are also six sets of secondary bevel gears 84 and threaded rods 83. Then, after driving the ring gear 82 to rotate, the six movable plates 81 inside the connecting head 51 can be synchronously driven to slide, thereby changing the size of the hexagonal hole inside the connecting head 51 to accommodate hexagonal wrenches of different sizes.
