Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-4In this embodiment of the utility model, a weld inspection support device includes two end plates 1. Each end plate 1 has a T-slot 2 inside. Two upper sliders 15 are symmetrically slidably connected inside the horizontal groove of the T-slot 2. A rotating shaft 3 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the upper slider 15. A lower slider 16 is slidably connected inside the vertical groove of the T-slot 2. A synchronous shaft 4 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the lower slider 16. A transmission mechanism is installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 3 and the synchronous shaft 4. A rotating wheel 9 is interference-fitted onto the outer wall of the rotating shaft 3 between the two end plates 1. A guide mechanism connected to the lower slider 16 is installed on the outer side of the end plate 1. A moving block 19 is rotatably installed on the end face of the two pulleys 5 away from the rotating motor 6 of the rotating shaft 3. A bidirectional screw 18 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the moving block 19. A bracket is rotatably installed at both ends of the bidirectional screw 18. A forward and reverse motor 17 coaxially connected to one end of the bidirectional screw 18 is installed on the bracket.

[0019] In this embodiment: First, according to the diameter of the pressure vessel, the forward and reverse motor 17 is started. The forward and reverse motor 17 drives the bidirectional screw 18 to rotate. At this time, the two moving blocks 19 move towards or away from each other. The two moving blocks 19 drive the two rotating shafts 3 to move towards or away from each other, thereby changing the distance between the two rotating shafts 3. At the same time, the rotating wheel 9 works synchronously until the rotating wheel 9 can effectively support the outer peripheral surface of the pressure vessel.

[0020] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The transmission mechanism includes pulleys 5 installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 3 and the synchronous shaft 4. Three pulleys 5 located on the same vertical plane are connected by a transmission belt 10. A sliding bracket 7 is slidably installed at one end of an end plate 1. A rotary motor 6 is installed on the sliding bracket 7. The output end of the rotary motor 6 is coaxially connected to the pulley 5 at one end of the rotating shaft 3.

[0021] In this embodiment: when supporting the pressure vessel, the rotary motor 6 is started, and the rotary motor 6 drives the pulley 5 connected to it to rotate. The pulley 5 drives the other two pulleys 5 to rotate synchronously through the transmission belt 10. At this time, the two rotating shafts 3 and the synchronous shaft 4 rotate synchronously, thereby driving the transmission belt 10 at the other end to transmit power. At this time, the rotating wheel 9 that rotates with the rotating shaft 3 can drive the pressure vessel to rotate, thereby detecting the annular welding position.

[0022] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 The two end plates 1 are rotatably mounted with limiting wheels 14 to support the transmission belt 10 at their far ends. The two limiting wheels 14 are used to ensure that the transmission belt 10 and the pulley 5 at one end of the synchronous shaft 4 meet the requirement that the transmission wrap angle is greater than 120 degrees.

[0023] In this embodiment, the design of the limiting wheel 14 ensures that the three pulleys 5 will not slip during the transmission process of the transmission belt 10.

[0024] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 The guiding mechanism includes four fixed ears 11, which are arranged in a rectangular shape. A guide rod 12 is fixedly connected between the upper and lower fixed ears 11. The two ends of the lower slider 16 are formed with outwardly protruding sliding ears, which are slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rod 12. A compression spring 13 is fixedly connected between the bottom end of the guide rod 12 and the fixed ear 11 located below. The compression spring 13 is sleeved on the outer wall of the guide rod 12.

[0025] In this embodiment: when the two rotating shafts 3 move towards or away from each other, the two rotating shafts 3 drive the upper slider 15 to slide axially in the horizontal groove of the T-slot 2. When the two rotating shafts 3 approach each other, the compression spring 13 returns to its original position and pulls the sliding ear to slide downward along the outer wall of the guide rod 12. The sliding ear slides downward along the vertical groove of the T-slot 2 through the lower slider 16. In this way, the effective tension of the transmission belt 10 can be ensured. Similarly, when the two rotating shafts 3 move away from each other, the sliding ear slides upward along the outer wall of the guide rod 12. At this time, the compression spring 13 is stretched and deformed, so that the synchronous shaft 4 and the pulleys 5 at both ends of the synchronous shaft 4 move upward, keeping the transmission belt 10 in a taut state.

[0026] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 2 One end of an end plate 1 is provided with a sliding groove 8 for sliding support 7 to slide. The vertical cross section of the sliding support 7 and the vertical cross section of the sliding end of the sliding groove 8 are both convex.

[0027] In this embodiment: when the two rotating shafts 3 move, the sliding bracket 7 can slide along the sliding groove 8, thereby realizing the synchronous operation of the rotating motor 6.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
