Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of casting inspection, in particular to a tool for inspecting the size of defects on the surface of a casting. Background Art

[0002] As industrial products become increasingly lightweight, aluminum alloy castings are widely used in industries such as automotive and aerospace. However, lightweighting presupposes that the castings meet certain mechanical and performance requirements. The density of the casting's internal structure and the size of surface defects during machining are key factors in evaluating mechanical properties. To determine whether a casting meets these performance requirements, surface defects must be assessed.

[0003] After searching, the Chinese patent with publication number CN221056400U discloses a tool for inspecting the size of surface defects in casting processing, including a base and a support column, the upper end of the base is fixedly connected to the support column, one side of the support column is fixedly connected to a motor, the motor is connected to a second clamping assembly through an output shaft, an adjustment assembly is installed on the upper end of the base, the adjustment assembly is rotatably installed with a first clamping assembly through a movable rod, the upper end of the base is fixedly connected to a limiter, an optical axis guide rail is fixedly installed in the limiter, a support frame is movably connected to the optical axis guide rail, one end of the support frame is fixedly connected to a detection head, the adjustment assembly includes a screw rod, the screw rod is connected to a handle through an output shaft, and the screw rod is connected to a movable rod through a thread.

[0004] The device not only completes the precise inspection of castings, but also expands the scope of inspection, improves work efficiency and reduces the waste of resources.

[0005] However, the device still has the following problems. The device uses a detection head to emit ultrasonic waves to detect surface defects of castings, and then uses a motor to drive the clamping assembly and the casting to slowly rotate, so as to increase the inspection range. In actual use, the propagation path and reflection characteristics of ultrasonic waves are closely related to factors such as the shape and material of the object being inspected. If the object being inspected rotates during the inspection process, the propagation path of the ultrasonic signal may change. Therefore, the casting continues to rotate slowly, making it difficult to effectively improve the accuracy of the inspection results. Utility Model Content

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a certain embodiment, in order to improve the accuracy of the inspection results, the rotating assembly includes a support frame 18 fixedly connected to one side of the top of the workbench 1 by welding, one end of the support frame 18 is rotatably connected to the transmission rod 12 through a bearing, and one end of the transmission rod 12 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of one of the baffles 2, and one side of the inner wall of the other baffle 2 is fixedly connected to the electric telescopic rod 4, the top of the workbench 1 is fixedly connected to the support bracket 3 near the electric telescopic rod 4, and the top of the support bracket 3 is adapted to the extended end of the electric telescopic rod 4, wherein the support bracket 3 plays a role in improving the movement stability of the electric telescopic rod 4, the extended end of the electric telescopic rod 4 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 5, wherein the electric telescopic rod 4 plays a role in driving the connecting block 5 to move, one end of the transmission rod 12 and one end of the connecting block 5 are fixedly connected to the clamping plate 6, one end of the outer peripheral wall of the transmission rod 12 is fixedly connected to the connecting ring 13, and the outer peripheral wall of the connecting ring 13 is fixedly connected to a plurality of evenly distributed driven wheels 14, and the inner wall of one of the baffles 2 is rotatably connected to the connecting ring 13 A rotating shaft 15 is connected, and one end of the outer peripheral wall of the rotating shaft 15 is fixedly connected to a driving wheel 16. The outer peripheral wall of the driving wheel 16 is provided with a driving groove 17 adapted to the driven wheel 14. Through the mutual cooperation between the driving wheel 16, the driving groove 17 and the driven wheel 14, the rotating shaft 15 drives the transmission rod 12 to rotate intermittently.
