Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of boiler maintenance, in particular to a boiler pipeline detection device. Background Art
[0002] After long-term operation, power plant boiler tubes wear out from the combined effects of fly ash and steam soot blowing, leading to thinning of the tube walls. These thinned tube walls are easily ruptured by the high-temperature, high-pressure steam flowing through them, causing boiler shutdowns and disrupting production. Before each boiler startup, tube thickness is checked to ensure proper operation. Currently, this is primarily done using ultrasonic probes. When an ultrasonic pulse emitted by the probe passes through the pipe and reaches a material interface, the pulse is reflected back to the probe. The pipe thickness is determined by precisely measuring the propagation time of the ultrasonic wave in the material. A decrease in tube wall thickness indicates damage at this location.
[0003] However, ultrasonic probes can only measure the thickness of the pipe. After detecting damage to the pipe wall, they cannot promptly determine the type of damage.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 In order to solve the problem of long maintenance time for boiler pipelines, the utility model proposes a boiler pipeline detection device 1000, comprising:
[0032] The bracket 1, the detection mechanism and the flaw detection mechanism, the bracket 1 includes a connecting rod 11 and a mounting seat 12, the mounting seat 12 is arranged on the connecting rod 11; the detection mechanism includes an ultrasonic probe 21, the ultrasonic probe 21 is arranged on the mounting seat 12, and is used to detect the wall thickness of the pipeline; the flaw detection mechanism includes a flaw detection drive 31, a flaw detection platform 32, and a magnetic circuit component, the flaw detection drive 31 is arranged on the mounting seat 12, the flaw detection platform 32 is connected to the output end of the flaw detection drive 31, and the flaw detection drive 31 drives the flaw detection platform 32 is close to or away from the mounting base 12; the ultrasonic probe 21 is electrically connected to the flaw detection drive 31; the magnetic circuit assembly includes a first permanent magnet 331, a second permanent magnet 332 and a magnetic leakage probe 333, and the first permanent magnet 331, the second permanent magnet 332 and the magnetic leakage probe 333 are all arranged on the side of the flaw detection platform 32 facing away from the mounting base 12, and the first permanent magnet 331, the magnetic leakage probe 333 and the second permanent magnet 332 are arranged in sequence along a direction extending perpendicular to the length direction of the connecting rod 11.
[0033] In the technical solution of the present utility model, a user holds the connecting rod 11 and extends the mounting base 12 into the boiler, close to the pipe. The ultrasonic probe 21 emits an ultrasonic pulse into the pipe. When the ultrasonic pulse passes through the pipe wall and reaches the material interface, it is reflected back to the probe. The pipe wall thickness is determined by accurately measuring the propagation time of the ultrasonic wave in the material, thereby obtaining the pipe wall thickness value. The wall thickness information is then uploaded to the industrial computer and compared with the preset wall thickness value in the industrial computer. If the measured wall thickness is less than the preset value, it means that the pipe wall is damaged. The industrial computer controls the flaw detection drive 31 to activate, driving the flaw detection platform 32 away from the mounting base 12 and closer to the pipe. The first permanent magnet 331 and the second permanent magnet 332 form a magnetic flux loop. When the flaw detection platform 32 approaches the pipe, the magnetic flux loop passes through the pipe wall. The defects in the pipe wall caused by the damage are detected by the magnetic flux leakage probe 333, thereby generating a magnetic flux leakage signal. The industrial computer can then analyze the damage type of the boiler pipe based on the received magnetic flux leakage signal, allowing the user to perform repairs according to the damage type, thereby shortening the maintenance time of the boiler pipe.
[0034] The magnetic circuit assembly also includes at least two isolators. In one embodiment of the present invention, the magnetic circuit assembly further includes two isolators, one of which is located on the side of the first permanent magnet 331 facing away from the flaw detection platform 32, and the other of which is located on the side of the second permanent magnet 332 facing away from the flaw detection platform 32. The two isolators are used to transmit the magnetism of the first permanent magnet 331 and the second permanent magnet 332, respectively. The isolators isolate the first permanent magnet 331 and the second permanent magnet 332 from the pipeline, preventing them from becoming magnetically attracted to the pipeline and becoming difficult to remove. This facilitates the user's ability to move the mounting base 12 to inspect the entire pipeline.
[0035] The isolation member can be a plastic block or a steel brush 334. Any material that does not interfere with the magnetic flux circuit formed by the first permanent magnet 331 and the second permanent magnet 332 can be used as the isolation member. In one embodiment of the present invention, the isolation member is a steel brush 334. The steel brush 334 is both flexible and resilient, making it easier to approach the pipeline. The transfer of magnetism by the steel brush 334 allows the first permanent magnet 331 and the second permanent magnet 332 to have a higher degree of magnetization of the pipeline. The higher the degree of magnetization of the pipeline, the more accurate the magnetic flux leakage signal detected by the magnetic flux leakage probe 333. Therefore, the type of pipeline damage can be more accurately determined based on the magnetic flux leakage signal.
[0036] The bracket 1 also includes multiple magnetic rollers 13. In one embodiment of the present invention, the bracket 1 includes four magnetic rollers 13, each of which is rollably connected to the mounting base 12. The magnetic rollers 13 roll on the pipe, securing them securely to the pipe through magnetic force, facilitating axial movement of the bracket 1 along the pipe. Furthermore, the adherence of the magnetic rollers 13 to the pipe ensures a consistent distance between the ultrasonic probe 21 and the pipe's outer wall, thereby reducing errors in the pipe wall thickness data measured by the ultrasonic probe 21.
[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, the bracket 1 further includes an elastic member 14 corresponding to each magnetic roller 13. Each elastic member 14 is disposed on the mounting base 12, and each magnetic roller 13 is rotatably connected to an elastic member 14. The elastic members 14 connect the mounting base 12 and the magnetic rollers 13, allowing the distance between the magnetic rollers 13 and the mounting base 12 to be varied, thereby enabling inspection of boiler pipes of a wider range of different specifications, thereby expanding the application range of the boiler pipe inspection device 1000.
[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, the bracket 1 is formed with a wiring hole 111 extending through the connecting rod 11 and the mounting base 12. The wiring hole 111 is used to accommodate the wires connecting the ultrasonic probe 21 and the magnetic flux leakage probe 333. The wires connecting the ultrasonic probe 21 and the magnetic flux leakage probe 333 can pass through the wiring hole 111 between the connecting rod 11 and the mounting base 12, preventing the wires from becoming entangled with components of the boiler pipeline inspection device 1000 and affecting measurement.
[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, the bracket 1 further includes a telescopic sleeve 15 and a telescopic drive member 16. The telescopic sleeve 15 is movably connected to the end of the connecting rod 11 away from the mounting base 12. The telescopic drive member 16 is disposed on the telescopic sleeve 15 and drives the connecting rod 11 to slide relative to the telescopic sleeve 15. The telescopic drive member 16 can drive the connecting rod 11 forward to extend into the gap between the boiler pipes, thereby facilitating user operation.
[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, the detection mechanism further includes a marking nozzle 22, which is mounted on the mounting base 12 and adjacent to the ultrasonic probe 21. The ultrasonic probe 21 emits an ultrasonic pulse into the pipe. When the ultrasonic pulse passes through the pipe wall and reaches the material interface, it is reflected back to the probe. The pipe wall thickness is determined by accurately measuring the propagation time of the ultrasonic wave in the material, thereby obtaining the pipe wall thickness value. The wall thickness information is then uploaded to the industrial computer and compared with the wall thickness value preset in the industrial computer. If the measured wall thickness is less than the preset value, it means that the pipe wall is damaged at this location. The industrial computer controls the marking nozzle 22 to spray a mark onto the pipe, making it easier for users to repair the pipe at this location.
[0041] Furthermore, the ultrasonic probe 21 emits an ultrasonic pulse into the pipe. When the ultrasonic pulse passes through the pipe wall and reaches the material interface, it is reflected back to the probe. The pipe wall thickness is determined by accurately measuring the propagation time of the ultrasonic wave in the material, thereby obtaining the pipe wall thickness value. The wall thickness information is then uploaded to the industrial computer and compared with the preset wall thickness value in the industrial computer. If the measured wall thickness is less than the preset value, it means that the pipe wall is damaged. The industrial computer controls the flaw detection drive 31 to activate, driving the flaw detection platform 32 away from the mounting base 12 and closer to the pipe. The first permanent magnet 331 and the second permanent magnet 332 form a magnetic flux loop. When the flaw detection platform 32 approaches the pipe, the magnetic flux loop passes through the pipe wall. The defects in the pipe wall caused by the damage are detected by the magnetic flux leakage probe 333, thereby obtaining a magnetic flux leakage signal. The industrial computer can then analyze the damage type of the boiler pipe based on the received magnetic flux leakage signal. The marking nozzle 22 sprays different marks based on the damage type of the boiler pipe, allowing the user to determine different repair plans based on the marks, thereby facilitating maintenance work.
[0042] The flaw detection platform 32 can be made of plastic or aluminum alloy, or any non-magnetic material. In one embodiment of the present invention, the flaw detection platform 32 is made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy has high structural strength and is not easily deformed. Furthermore, aluminum alloy is non-magnetic, which does not affect the magnetic transmission between the first permanent magnet 331 and the second permanent magnet 332. Therefore, aluminum alloy is the preferred material for the flaw detection platform 32.
[0043] It is understood that the mounting base 12 can be fixedly connected to the connecting rod 11 or can be rotatably connected to the connecting rod 11. In one embodiment of the present invention, the mounting base 12 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 11. This configuration allows the mounting base 12 to rotate relative to the connecting rod 11, thereby allowing the mounting base 12 to penetrate into different locations of the boiler pipe, thereby enabling inspection of pipes of more boilers of different specifications, thereby expanding the application range of the boiler pipe inspection device 1000.
[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
