[0021] 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.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a device for detecting cracks in train wheel bearings, comprising a load-bearing base plate 1 and an ultrasonic probe 13. A supporting square column 2 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the load-bearing base plate 1, and a connecting block 3 is provided at the top of the supporting square column 2. A connecting straight shaft 4 is installed on the front surface of the connecting block 3, and a limiting circular plate 5 is installed at the front end of the connecting straight shaft 4. A central positioning shaft 6 is provided at the center of the front surface of the limiting circular plate 5. A supporting stud 7 is installed at the center of the top of the connecting block 3, and a sliding groove 8 is provided on the curved front side of the supporting stud 7. An adjusting ring is sleeved on the outer side of the supporting stud 7. The adjusting ring sleeve 9 has a limiting slider 10 installed on its inner wall, and the limiting slider 10 is connected to the slide groove 8. A combined straight plate 11 is installed on the curved front side of the adjusting ring sleeve 9, and a positioning through hole 12 is opened at the front end of the combined straight plate 11. An ultrasonic probe 13 is installed through the positioning through hole 12. A combined circular sleeve 14 is installed above the adjusting ring sleeve 9, and the combined circular sleeve 14 is sleeved and installed on the outside of the support stud 7. A lever 15 is installed on the outer curved surface of the combined circular sleeve 14. A support spring 16 is installed below the adjusting ring sleeve 9, and the support spring 16 is installed around the outside of the support stud 7.
[0023] The connecting block 3, the supporting column 2, and the connecting straight shaft 4 are integrated into a single structure. The connecting straight shaft 4 is connected to the limiting circular plate 5 by a bearing connection. The limiting circular plate 5 and the central positioning shaft 6 are integrated into a single structure. The diameter of the limiting circular plate 5 is larger than the diameter of the central positioning shaft 6, so the train wheel bearing can be installed and positioned on the central positioning shaft 6 for support. At the same time, the rotation angle can be adjusted through the limiting circular plate 5 later.
[0024] The support stud 7 is fixed to the connecting block 3 by welding, and the support stud 7 is fixed to the adjusting ring 9 by sliding connection. The support stud 7 is fixed on the connecting block 3, and the adjusting ring 9 can slide and lift.
[0025] The adjusting ring 9 and the limiting slider 10 are integrated into one structure, and the limiting slider 10 is connected to the slide groove 8 by a sliding connection. The adjusting ring 9 drives the limiting slider 10 to slide inside the slide groove 8, which improves the stability of the adjusting ring 9 during lifting and lowering and avoids rotation.
[0026] The combined straight plate 11 has positioning through holes 12 evenly distributed, and the positioning through holes 12 are connected to the ultrasonic probes 13 by embedding and fixing. The combined straight plate 11 is connected to the adjusting ring sleeve 9 by welding and fixing. The positioning through holes 12 distributed on the combined straight plate 11 can install an appropriate number of ultrasonic probes 13, and the ultrasonic probes 13 are used to detect cracks in the wheel bearings of the train installed on the central positioning shaft 6.
[0027] The combined sleeve 14 and the lever 15 are integrated into one structure, and the levers 15 are symmetrically distributed on the combined sleeve 14. The combined sleeve 14 is connected to the support stud 7 by a threaded connection. The combined sleeve 14 can be easily moved by the lever 15. The combined sleeve 14 rises and falls on the support stud 7, and the height of the adjusting ring 9 can be adjusted.
[0028] Working principle: According to Figure 1-5 First, after placing the load-bearing base plate 1 in a suitable position, the train wheel bearing is positioned on the central positioning shaft 6. The train wheel bearing is then rotated and adjusted to a suitable position on the connecting straight shaft 4 via the central positioning shaft 6 and the limiting circular plate 5, so that the curved surface of the train wheel bearing detection area is below the ultrasonic probe 13. Next, the combined circular sleeve 14 is moved by the lever 15, and the combined circular sleeve 14 rotates and descends on the support stud 7. The combined circular sleeve 14 presses down on the adjusting ring sleeve 9, and the adjusting ring sleeve 9 slides down on the outside of the support stud 7. Simultaneously, the adjusting ring 9 drives the limiting slider 10 to slide down within the slide groove 8, maintaining stability. The adjusting ring 9 drives the ultrasonic probe 13 to descend via the combined straight plate 11. The bottom end of the ultrasonic probe 13 fits against the curved surface of the train wheel bearing detection area. Subsequently, the ultrasonic probe 13 performs internal detection on the train wheel bearing using the pulse reflection method. The ultrasonic probe 13 is a known and existing technology on the market and will not be described in detail here. The above is the working process of the entire device. All contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.
[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
