Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of storage tank detection, in particular to a storage tank bottom magnetic leakage detection instrument. Background Art

[0002] The Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) flaw detector for oil and gas tank bottoms is specifically designed for bottom plate corrosion inspection on above-ground cylindrical welded steel tanks. It utilizes the MFL method, which involves exciting the steel plate to a critical saturation state. Corrosion on the upper and lower surfaces of the plate causes changes in the MFL field, which are then detected using magnetic sensors to determine the extent of corrosion. MFL is currently a leading international method. Compared to ultrasonic testing, it offers advantages such as high sampling density, zero leaks, high detection efficiency, low surface cleanliness requirements, and the absence of coupling agents. The system boasts strong corrosion detection capabilities, accurately determining the location and size of defects. These features enhance operator convenience and significantly improve detection efficiency.

[0003] After the tank is processed, there is usually waste residue inside the tank. When the magnetic flux leakage detector is performing flaw detection, larger impurities will affect the detection results.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a tank bottom magnetic leakage detector. Utility Model Content

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

A brush 8 is provided on the outer circumference of the transmission belt 7. By providing the brush 8, when the driving motor 10 drives the driving shaft 2 and the roller 13 to rotate, the second bevel gear 14 rotates, and the connecting shaft is driven to rotate through the first bevel gear 9, thereby rotating the driving roller 5, which drives the transmission belt 7 to rotate, and then rotating the brush 8. When the frame 1 moves and performs detection, the rotating brush 8 cleans the bottom of the tank in front of the moving path of the frame 1 to prevent affecting the detection result of the detector probe 17 on the tank bottom.

[0023] A bracket wrapped around the outside of the control box 15 is fixedly installed on the top of the frame 1, and a push handle 18 is provided on the top of the frame 1.
