Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mining hoist main shaft testing technology, specifically a non-destructive testing device for mining hoist main shafts. Background Technology

[0002] Hoists, as a key transportation equipment widely used in mining production, are essential for the continuous and efficient operation of mines. They also bear the heavy responsibility of transporting coal and materials from underground to the mine and personnel and materials from the surface, making them a critical artery of the mine. Therefore, ensuring their stable operation is of positive significance to mine production. The main shaft, as a key component of the hoist, plays a crucial role in the performance of the hoist itself. Therefore, the hoist main shaft must undergo rigorous non-destructive testing before leaving the factory. Ultrasonic testing is currently the most commonly used method for main shaft testing. In ultrasonic testing, the probe needs to directly contact the surface of the shaft being tested to transmit ultrasonic signals. In existing technologies, main shaft testing often involves a stationary setting of the main shaft, with manual hand-held probe operation. This method has low automation, poor practicality, and requires operators to constantly adjust their positions, resulting in high labor intensity and decreased testing efficiency. Therefore, this paper addresses these issues through in-depth research. Utility Model Content

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.

[0019] Example: Refer to the appendix of the instruction manual Figure 1-5As can be seen, this application specifically designs a non-destructive testing device for the main shaft of a mining hoist. Auxiliary support components are symmetrically arranged on the testing platform 1 to support the main shaft of the mining hoist. A friction drive mechanism is provided on one side of the auxiliary support components to drive the rotation of the main shaft. A horizontal moving mechanism is provided on one side of the testing platform 1. An L-shaped bracket 2 is provided on the moving end of the horizontal moving mechanism. A vertical adjustment mechanism is provided on the L-shaped bracket 2, and an ultrasonic testing probe 3 is installed at the lower end of the vertical adjustment mechanism. The auxiliary support components include a U-shaped bracket 21 and support rollers 22. The U-shaped brackets 21 are symmetrically arranged on the testing platform 1, and the support rollers 22 are rotatably installed within the U-shaped brackets 21. The horizontal moving mechanism includes a fixed groove 4, a transmission screw 5, guide members, a servo drive component 6, and a moving seat 7. The fixed groove 4 is set on the testing table 1. The transmission screw 5 is rotatably mounted in the fixed groove 4. The guide members are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the transmission screw 5. The servo drive component is set on one end of the transmission screw 5. The moving seat 7 is threadedly engaged with the transmission screw 5 through a screw nut and is connected to the guide members on both sides. The guide members include guide rails 8 and guide seats 9. The guide rails 8 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the transmission screw 5. The guide seats 9 are slidably fitted on the guide columns and fixedly connected to the moving seat 7. An auxiliary support component is set on the testing table 1 to support the main shaft of the mine hoist. A friction drive mechanism is installed on one side of the component to drive the rotation of the main shaft of the mine hoist, which can drive the rotation of the main shaft during the inspection process; a horizontal moving mechanism is installed on one side of the inspection table 1, which can be used to adjust the horizontal position of the L-shaped bracket 2, thereby realizing the horizontal movement of the ultrasonic testing probe 3 on the vertical adjustment mechanism; in use, after the main shaft is placed in place, the vertical adjustment mechanism is controlled to move, and the ultrasonic testing probe 3 is brought into contact with the side wall of the main shaft to start ultrasonic testing. During the testing process, the main shaft is controlled to rotate, thereby realizing the circumferential non-destructive testing of the main shaft. After the current circumferential surface is tested, the horizontal moving mechanism is activated, and the transmission is controlled by the servo drive 6. The moving lead screw 5 drives the rotation, and the rotation of the transmission lead screw 5 drives the moving seat 7 to slide along the guide rail 8 under the limiting action of the guide seats 9 on both sides. This drives the L-shaped bracket 2 to move horizontally, allowing the ultrasonic testing probe 3 to move along the axis of the main shaft, thus achieving comprehensive testing at different positions. In addition, the vertical adjustment mechanism can automatically adjust the height of the ultrasonic testing probe 3 to meet the testing requirements of different diameter segments on the main shaft. The structure is compact and highly automated, which can greatly improve the efficiency of the main shaft testing operation. It should be noted that the servo drive 6 is a drive control mechanism with a servo motor as the power source.

[0020] In specific implementation, as a preferred configuration, the above-mentioned friction drive mechanism includes a mounting platform 10, a support 11, a rotary drive assembly 12, and a friction drive wheel 13. The mounting platform 10 is set on the testing table 1, the support 11 is set on the mounting platform 10, the rotary drive assembly 12 is set on one side of the support 11, and the friction drive wheel 13 is rotatably set on the support 11 and connected to the output end of the rotary drive assembly 12. In use, the rotary drive assembly 12 drives the friction drive wheel 13 on the support 11 to rotate, thereby using the friction between the friction drive wheel 13 and the main shaft to drive the main shaft to rotate. The rotary drive assembly 12 is a drive control mechanism with a stepper motor as the power source, which can realize low speed and high torque rotation output.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the vertical adjustment mechanism includes an electric push rod 14, a guide rod 15, a mounting base 16, and a pressure monitoring component. The electric push rod 14 is vertically positioned on the lower end of the crossbeam of the L-shaped bracket 2. The guide rod 15 is symmetrically positioned on both sides of the electric push rod 14 and slides in cooperation with the limiting sleeve on the L-shaped bracket 2. The mounting base 16 is positioned on the telescopic end of the electric push rod 14 and is connected to the guide rod 15 on both sides. The pressure monitoring component is positioned on the lower end of the mounting base 16 and is assembled and connected to the ultrasonic testing probe 3. The pressure monitoring component includes a mounting base 17, a compression spring 18, and a pressure sensor 19. The lower end face of the mounting base 16 has an assembly groove. The upper part of the mounting base 17 slides in cooperation with the assembly groove. The compression spring 18 is symmetrically positioned in the assembly groove and slides in cooperation with the assembly spring 19. The mounting base 17 is connected to the mounting slot, and the pressure sensor 19 is set in the mounting slot and corresponds to the top block 20 at the upper end of the mounting base 17. In use, the telescopic end of the control electric push rod 14 expands, which in turn pushes the mounting base 16 to move downward under the limiting action of the guide rods 15 on both sides, so that the lower ultrasonic detection probe is in contact with the outer wall of the spindle. After the contact is made, the electric push rod 14 continues to press down, and the mounting base 17 slides upward to squeeze the compression spring 18. After the top block 20 at the top of the mounting base 17 contacts the pressure sensor 19, the pressure sensor 19 sends a signal to remind the ultrasonic detection probe to be in contact with the outer wall of the spindle. The control electric push rod 14 stops expanding and stays in the current position. The ultrasonic detector is turned on, and the ultrasonic detection probe 3 can be used to realize non-destructive testing of the spindle. The structure is simple and the degree of automation is high.
