Description

Technical Field

[0002] Hydraulic hoses are tubular components used to transport fluids such as hydraulic oil. They are composed of an inner rubber layer, a reinforcement layer, and an outer rubber layer. Due to the influence of the operating environment, long-term exposure to high temperatures, ultraviolet rays, and ozone, the outer rubber layer of the hose is prone to aging and hardening, which in turn causes cracks. In addition, if the hydraulic system pressure fluctuates frequently and violently, or is in an overpressure operating state for a long time, the hose will be subjected to excessive stress, which can also cause fatigue cracks on the outer surface.

[0003] Therefore, during the production of hydraulic hoses, various pressure tests will be carried out on them. After the tests are completed, the hydraulic hoses that have undergone the pressure test will also be inspected. The existing outer surface inspection of hydraulic hoses is mainly carried out through visual inspection or ultrasonic inspection, penetration inspection and other inspection methods. Visual inspection relies on manual experience, is inefficient and easily misses small cracks. Penetration inspection requires pre-treatment of the surface, the process is cumbersome and can only detect open cracks. Ultrasonic inspection is the same as the above inspection methods. It requires manual flipping of the hose and the use of equipment to inspect the outer surface of the hose in sequence, making the inspection operation method too cumbersome, resulting in low inspection efficiency.

[0024] like Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, a V-shaped mounting groove 13 is provided on the top of the support plate 7, and a plurality of support plates 7 are respectively provided with a V-shaped mounting groove 13 on the top, which can adapt to the V-shaped support plate 8 and provide stable installation conditions for the V-shaped support plate 8. A motor 14 is fixedly installed on one side of one of the support plates 7. The motor 14 is electrically connected to the control computer 2 through a cable. The output end of the motor 14 extends through the support plate 7 to the side opposite to the motor 14 and is fixedly installed with a first synchronous wheel 15. A first synchronous wheel 15 is provided at the output end of the motor 14 to provide a power source for driving the rubber roller 16. The rubber roller 16 is rotatably connected between the plurality of support plates 7, and fixed shafts 17 are fixedly installed at both ends of the rubber roller 16, wherein one end of two fixed shafts 17 are respectively fixedly installed with a second synchronous wheel 18, and the two second synchronous wheels 18 are fixedly installed with a second synchronous wheel 18. It is connected to the first synchronous wheel 15 through a synchronous belt drive. The motor 14 can synchronously drive the two rubber rollers 16 to rotate through the cooperation of the first synchronous wheel 15 and the two second synchronous wheels 18, so that the hose is positioned and rotated with the help of the positioning mechanism 9, which is convenient for the visual inspection camera 12 to perform visual inspection of cracks on the outer surface of the hose. Two shaft grooves 19 are provided in the V-shaped support plate 8. The bottom of the V-shaped support plate 8 is inserted into the V-shaped mounting groove 13 on the top of multiple support plates 7 and fixed by screws. The shaft groove 19 is inserted into the outside of one of the rubber rollers 16. The V-shaped support plate 8 cooperates with the two rubber rollers 16 to place hoses of different diameters and provide rotation conditions for the hoses. Two guide rails 20 are fixedly installed on the top of the V-shaped support plate 8. The guide rails 20 can provide guiding conditions for the sliding of the positioning mechanism 9.

[0025] like Figure 2 、 Figure 6As shown, the positioning mechanism 9 also includes a slide rod 21, and the two ends of the slide rod 21 are respectively provided with a slide groove 22, and the slide groove 22 is slidably connected to one of the guide rails 20.

[0026] It should be noted that the present invention is a device for detecting cracks on the outer surface of a steel wire braided hydraulic hose. During the detection, the hydraulic hose to be detected is first placed on the V-shaped support plate 8 of the hose detection mechanism 3. Subsequently, the slide bar 21 is slidably connected to the guide rail 20 on the top of the V-shaped support plate 8 through the slide grooves 22 at both ends. The position can be adjusted according to the length of the hose, that is, the two positioning blocks 23 are respectively moved to the position above one end of the hose. Then, the handle at one end of the screw rod 24 is rotated so that the screw rod 24 rotates downward in the slide bar 21, which can lower the positioning block 23 and use the roller 27 in the inverted V-shaped groove 26 at the bottom to apply a certain pressure to the hose to position the hose between the two rubber rollers 16 to ensure that the hose rotates smoothly with the rubber roller 16. Subsequently, through The control computer 2 starts the motor 14, causing the first synchronous wheel 15 at the output end of the motor 14 to rotate, thereby causing the first synchronous wheel 15 to synchronously rotate the two second synchronous wheels 18 via the synchronous belt. The two second synchronous wheels 18 then drive the corresponding rubber rollers 16 to rotate via the corresponding fixed shafts 17, causing the hose to rotate between the two rubber rollers 16 and the multiple rollers 27. At this time, the bracket 10 on the screw moving platform 6 drives the camera frame 11 and the visual inspection camera 12 to move at a constant speed along the axis of the hose. The visual inspection camera 12 continuously captures the outer surface of the rotating hose. The captured images are transmitted via cables to the control computer 2, which analyzes and processes the images to identify whether there are cracks and their location, shape, and other information.

[0027] During the entire inspection process, the rotation of the rubber roller 16 realizes comprehensive inspection of the hose in the circumferential direction, and the movement of the screw moving platform 6 realizes full axial coverage. The cooperation of the two enables the visual inspection camera 12 to perform a full-scale scan of the outer surface of hoses of different diameters and lengths, thereby automating the inspection process, reducing the difficulty of manual operation, and improving inspection efficiency and accuracy. It effectively solves the problems of relying on manual flipping of the hose in traditional inspection methods, cumbersome operation, and low efficiency.
