Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to pipeline incomplete penetration detection technical field, concretely relates to a kind of step test block for weld defect detection. BACKGROUND

[0002] During the periodic inspection of pressure pipeline, incomplete penetration defects are relatively common due to factors such as welding during installation. Currently, digital radiography (DR) is commonly used for detection, which provides real-time imaging with short exposure time and uses computers and image processing to theoretically achieve accurate measurement of defects. However, due to the structure of the DR system and the angle of the ray beam, there are problems such as geometric magnification and edge distortion in the detection image. If a single correction coefficient is used to calculate the entire image, there will be errors. For defect detection, the current error is acceptable. However, for measurements requiring high accuracy, such as the detection of wall thickness reduction caused by corrosion, a standard test piece of known size needs to be placed in the measured area to participate in imaging, calculate the correction coefficient of this point or area, and finally convert the actual accurate data of this area. Therefore, to achieve high-precision detection results, a standard test piece that matches the requirements must be used to improve detection accuracy.

[0003] After searching, patent publication No. CN202123398048.7 discloses a step test block for weld defect detection. Although this device can measure the attenuation coefficient of the same material by setting height-decreasing steps on the body and setting first flat-bottom holes of the same size and second flat-bottom holes symmetrically opposite to the first flat-bottom holes at the same position on each step, the length of the entire device is relatively long when it is used due to the multiple steps. This not only increases the volume of the device, but also makes it inconvenient to carry and store. This inconvenience is particularly evident when frequent movement or detection at different locations is required. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, the utility model provides a step test block for weld defect detection, which solves the problems raised in the background art.

[0005] The solution to the above technical problem is as follows:

[0006] A step test block for weld defect detection includes a fixed block, an adjusting plate is provided on one side of the fixed block, a second flat-bottom hole and a third flat-bottom hole are formed in the fixed block, and a first flat-bottom hole is provided on the adjusting plate.

[0007] The fixing block is provided with a second clamping groove and a third clamping groove on two sides respectively, and the adjusting plate is provided with a second inserting block on one side.

[0008] The bottom end of the fixing block is provided with a first clamping groove, and the bottom end of the adjusting plate is provided with a first inserting block, and the first inserting block is provided with a first magnet, and the first clamping groove is provided with a second magnet.

[0009] On the basis of the above technical scheme, the utility model further can make improvement as follows.

[0010] Further, the second clamping groove and the third clamping groove are symmetrically distributed on the two sides of the fixing block, and the second clamping groove and the third clamping groove are staggered on the two sides of the fixing block.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the above further scheme are:

[0012] Because the second clamping groove and the third clamping groove are staggered on the two sides of the fixing block, the adjusting plate can be clamped with different clamping grooves through the second inserting block, thereby realizing different combinations. This design makes the test block have higher flexibility in the use process, and the position of the adjusting plate and the flat bottom hole can be adjusted according to actual needs. The staggered clamping groove design also facilitates the installation and disassembly of the adjusting plate. The operator can easily fix the adjusting plate on the fixing block through the inserting block without complex operation or tools.

[0013] Further, the first flat bottom hole and the third flat bottom hole have the same depth, and the second flat bottom hole has a depth twice that of the second flat bottom hole.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the above further scheme are:

[0015] Because the first flat bottom hole and the third flat bottom hole have the same depth, they can serve as a set of standardized comparison holes. When detecting weld defects, the echo signal strength of the two holes can be compared to determine whether there is a defect in the weld with a depth comparable to that of the two holes. The depth of the second flat bottom hole is twice that of the third flat bottom hole, which forms a depth gradient. By detecting flat bottom holes of different depths, the defect conditions of the weld at different depths can be evaluated, thereby more comprehensively understanding the quality of the weld.

[0016] Further, the second inserting block is adapted in size to the second clamping groove and the third clamping groove.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the above further scheme are:

[0018] The second plug-in block is matched in size with the second clamping groove and the third clamping groove, meaning that the plug-in block can be tightly inserted into the clamping groove to form a stable connection. This design helps to prevent loosening or falling off between the plug-in block and the clamping groove during use, thereby ensuring the overall stability and reliability of the step test block. Since the plug-in block is matched in size with the clamping groove, the installation process becomes simpler and faster. The operator can easily insert the plug-in block into the clamping groove without complex operations or tools. This not only improves the installation efficiency, but also reduces the operation difficulty, so that non-professionals can easily complete the installation work. The second plug-in block can be clamped with the second clamping groove and the third clamping groove respectively. This design allows the adjustment plate to be flexibly slid or fixed at different positions on the fixed block. By adjusting the clamping position of the plug-in block and the clamping groove, the position of the flat-bottom hole can be changed to meet different detection needs. This flexible adjustment improves the applicability and practicality of the test block.

[0019] Further, the first plug-in block is matched in size with the first clamping groove.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the above further scheme are:

[0021] The first plug-in block is matched in size with the first clamping groove, meaning that the plug-in block can be accurately inserted into the clamping groove to form a tight joint. This precise jointing method helps to reduce errors and gaps during jointing, ensuring the stability and reliability of the overall structure. The size-matched plug-in block and clamping groove make the installation process simpler and faster. The operator does not need to perform complex adjustments or corrections, but only needs to insert the plug-in block directly into the clamping groove to complete the installation. This not only improves the installation efficiency, but also reduces the operation difficulty and cost.

[0022] The utility model provides a kind of step test block for weld defect detection. It has the following

[0023] Beneficial effects:

[0024] The first flat-bottom hole on the adjustment plate has the same depth as the third flat-bottom hole on the fixed block, while the depth of the second flat-bottom hole is twice that of the third flat-bottom hole. This design allows users to choose different flat-bottom hole depths for weld defect detection as needed, increasing the flexibility and applicability of the test block. The adjustment plate is clamped with the second clamping groove or the third clamping groove of the fixed block through the second plug-in block, which allows the position of the adjustment plate to be easily adjusted, further increasing the flexibility of the test block.

[0025] Using the adjustment plate and fixed block with known thickness dimensions of the step test block to correct the attenuation coefficient, other thickness dimensions can be verified according to the attenuation coefficient, and the measurement accuracy can be calculated. This design ensures the accuracy and reliability of weld defect detection.

[0026] The bottom end of the fixing block is provided with a first clamping groove, and the bottom end of the adjusting plate is provided with a first plug-in block matched with the first clamping groove in size. This design enables the adjusting plate to be conveniently clamped on the fixing block, facilitating storage and carrying. The first plug-in block is provided with a first magnet, and the first clamping groove is provided with a second magnet. Through the adsorption effect of the magnets, the adjusting plate and the fixing block can be more firmly connected together, avoiding the problems of loosening or falling off that may occur during carrying or use.
