Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of polyethylene inner tube processing and relates to defect detection equipment for the production and processing of polyethylene inner tubes. Background Art
[0002] Non-metallic materials such as polyethylene pipes are used in the manufacture of pipelines. Due to their good flexibility and corrosion resistance, they are being used in more and more medium and low-pressure gas pipeline networks in cities and towns. During the processing of polyethylene inner pipes, welding technology is required to connect the connecting end to the pipeline. In order to prevent a series of safety hazards caused by changes in the material structure and performance of the pipeline welding area, defect detection is required. Existing technology detection, such as CN202123315972.4, provides a polyethylene pipeline defect detection system for detecting defects in the welded joints of polyethylene pipelines. This technical solution uses the principle of polyethylene pipeline reflectivity to microwaves for defect detection. By measuring the changes in the reflected field (amplitude or phase) of the microwaves with a vector network analyzer, it can be determined whether the welded joint has defects, thereby achieving non-destructive testing of polyethylene pipelines.
[0003] The disadvantage of the above-mentioned detection system is that it requires manual handheld inspection. Since the handheld detection equipment moves along the length of the pipeline, it will cause unstable movement, and the up and down fluctuation errors will affect the detection accuracy. For this reason, we designed a defect detection equipment for the production and processing of polyethylene inner pipes. Summary of the Invention
