Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of boiler technology, specifically a portable magnetic particle inspection device for the surface of a once-through boiler. Background Technology
[0002] Once-through boilers, due to their compact structure and high thermal efficiency, are widely used in various industrial fields and are key equipment in many production processes. During the production of once-through boilers, non-destructive testing (NDT) is a crucial measure to ensure their quality and performance, especially for welded areas, which are most prone to defects and potential problems. Therefore, to ensure the production quality of once-through boilers and prevent potential defects from affecting their operational safety and efficiency, rigorous NDT in these areas is essential. Some commonly used NDT methods include ultrasonic testing, radiographic testing, and magnetic particle testing. Magnetic particle testing, due to its ease of operation and suitability for identifying minute cracks on the surface of ferromagnetic materials, is increasingly becoming one of the important technologies for boiler surface inspection.
[0003] Patent CN206876630U discloses a portable magnetic particle flaw detector, including a main unit and metal yokes located on both sides of the lower end of the main unit. The metal yokes include metal yoke columns, with a radial body fixedly connected to the upper end of each column. The radial body has a movable protrusion, and a helical body is sleeved on the protrusion. The helical body is movably connected to the main unit. The helical body has a threaded groove and a limiting mechanism that restricts the radial body's movement towards or away from its axis. This invention, by rotating the helical body, causes the radial body to move towards or away from its axis. This allows technicians using the portable magnetic particle flaw detector to control the relative distance between the metal yoke fixedly connected to the helical body according to the width of the object being measured, thus enabling more effective detection.
[0004] The aforementioned prior art involves adjusting the relative position between the limiting body and the connecting protrusion to change the direction of the limiting groove, thereby controlling the movement direction of the radial body, which in turn changes the distance between the two metal magnetic yoke pillars. By changing the relative position of the metal magnetic yoke pillars and the radial body, the two metal magnetic yoke pillars are kept parallel to achieve the best magnetic particle detection effect. However, the above adjustment process is relatively cumbersome. In addition, this design makes it difficult to ensure that the metal magnetic yoke pillars are in a parallel state after adjustment, increasing the difficulty of operation and potentially affecting the detection effect. Users need to spend a lot of time and effort to adjust, which not only reduces work efficiency but also easily causes misoperation and affects the accuracy of the detection results. In view of this, we propose a portable magnetic particle inspection device for the surface of once-through boilers. Utility Model Content

[0040] In this embodiment, the portable once-through boiler surface magnetic particle inspection device is carried to the vicinity of the once-through boiler to be tested using the handle slot 10. Ensure the inspection area is clean and free of obvious dirt. Connect the power interface 11 to ensure the device is powered on and ready for operation. Turn on the device's switch button 12 to start the device. According to the inspection requirements, manually drive the bidirectional lead screw 2 using the knob 20 to adjust the spacing between the magnetic yoke components 3 to suit the specific inspection area. Use the bidirectional lead screw 2 to adjust the position of the moving block 30 so that the two magnetic yoke components 3 are located on both sides of the boiler weld or other critical parts to be inspected, ensuring that the moving block 30 moves freely within the strip groove 13. The sliding mechanism precisely positions the moving block 30 as needed. Once the equipment is in position, the detection light 5 is simultaneously turned on when the switch button 12 is pressed, illuminating the detection area so that the operator can observe surface changes and magnetic powder accumulation. Then, the operator directly sprays magnetic powder onto the surface to be tested, observing any abnormal accumulation of magnetic powder on the surface to identify potential defects. After the test is completed, the presence of surface cracks or defects is determined based on the concentration of magnetic powder. If an abnormality is detected, it is marked and further analyzed to determine subsequent operations. After the test is completed, the switch button 12 is turned off, the power connection is removed, and the equipment is cleaned, especially the magnetic yoke assembly 3, to ensure no residue is left.
