[0002] Ultrasonic weld flaw detection is a nondestructive testing technology that uses the propagation characteristics of ultrasound in materials to detect internal defects in welds by analyzing reflection, scattering, and other signals. Its core equipment is an ultrasonic flaw detector, which can complete the inspection without destroying the weld structure. It is suitable for quality control of key load-bearing components. It can be used to inspect welds in aircraft engine components and nuclear reactor pressure vessels to ensure structural safety in extreme environments, and to regularly inspect welds in oil and gas pipelines and storage tanks to prevent crack propagation caused by corrosive media.

However, this detection method cannot maintain the stability of the probe during the detection process, and the probe detection position and detection direction are prone to deviation, which in turn affects the accuracy of the weld detection results.

[0025] During specific implementation, in order to maintain the stability of the ultrasonic detection head 201 during the detection process, when the welding part of the steel pipe is detected, the driving motor 305 is controlled by the control box 2. The output end of the driving motor 305 drives the driving gear 304 to rotate through the coupling. When the driving gear 304 rotates, it engages with the adjusting tooth ring 303 that is rotatably connected to the outer side of the connecting ring 3031, driving the adjusting tooth ring 303 to rotate. The adjusting tooth ring 303 engages with the adjusting tooth grooves 301 on the two clamping frames 3, driving the two clamping frames 3 to move to both sides along the sliding track 302 and unfold. At this time, the operator holds the handle 101 and moves The outer shell 1 is plugged into the middle of the steel pipe, and the two clamping frames 3 are located on both sides of the steel pipe. Then the drive motor 305 is started again to drive the drive gear 304 to reverse through the coupling, and the above operation process is repeated to drive the two clamping frames 3 to move relative to each other along the sliding track 302, so that the two clamping frames 3 are held on the steel pipe; the steel pipe is clamped by the two clamping frames 3, so that the relative position of the ultrasonic detection head 201 and the steel pipe remains fixed. The ultrasonic weld flaw detection device can fix the position of the ultrasonic detection head 201 during use, thereby improving the stability of the ultrasonic detection head 201 during the detection process.
