DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] To illustrate the technical content of the utility model, the purposes and effects achieved, the following will be described in conjunction with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Please refer to Figs. 1 to 4 The utility model discloses an axle ultrasonic flaw detection device 3 for the flaw detection of axle 1, which is arranged on gear box 2 and comprises fixed assembly 31 and inclined probe 32.

[0026] The fixed assembly 31 comprises support 311, sliding block 312 and snap ring group 313. The support 311 comprises upper track 3111 and lower track 3112, which are parallel. The sliding block 312 is arranged on the upper track 3111 and runs along the upper track 3111. The end of the sliding block 312 towards the gear box 2 is matched with the surface of the gear box 2.

[0027] The snap ring group 313 comprises main snap ring 3131 and auxiliary snap ring 3132. One end of the main snap ring 3131 and one end of the auxiliary snap ring 3132 are respectively connected to the lower track 3112 and run along the lower track 3112. The free end of the main snap ring 3131 and the free end of the auxiliary snap ring 3132 are detachably connected to form a ring body. The snap ring group 313 is detachably sleeved on the axle 1.

[0028] The sidewall of the support 311 is provided with first scale line 3113 matched with the snap ring group 313. The main snap ring 3131 and / or the auxiliary snap ring 3132 are provided with second scale line 3133. The inclined probe 32 is arranged on the snap ring group 313 when in use.

[0029] From the above description, the slider 312 is detachably sleeved on the wheel shaft 1 by matching and combining the one end of the slider 312 with the surface of the gear box 2 and the surface of the gear box 2 with the clamping ring set 313. In use, after the slider 312 is positioned, the clamping ring set 313 is adjusted, the clamping ring set 313 is locked, and the measurement information of the first scale line 3113 is obtained. Then, the probe is arranged on the clamping ring set 313, and the measurement information of the second scale line 3133 can be obtained. That is, the position and length of the signal are accurately recorded by using the measurement information in the axial and circumferential directions, so as to facilitate the monitoring of the quality of the in-service wheel shaft 1. The measurement principle is that the transverse wave oblique probe 32 performs forward and backward zigzag scanning while rotating along the circumference of the wheel shaft 1, so as to detect whether the wheel shaft 1 at the press-fitting position has surface defects (with a difference of 180° from the probe). When the oblique probe 32 scans forward and backward at the shaft position, the sound beam will cover a certain interval. When the diameters of the wheel shaft 1 in the interval are different, the defect signal will appear at different positions of the instrument display. However, there is a groove at the press-fitting position of the gear box 2, and then due to the interference fit, the sound beam will also propagate to some positions of the gear box 2 and the wheel set. The two factors will generate structure signals, and it is difficult for the detection personnel to judge the source of the signal, which needs to be repeatedly measured and calculated. The press-fitting position can be established in different intervals according to the diameter. First, the position of the oblique probe 32 corresponding to the groove structure signal can be fixed. Second, the structure signal generated by the gear box 2 and the wheel set is established according to the sound path reference point on the instrument by the artificial defect of the test block. The sound path is less than or equal to the point signal, which is a defect signal. There is no signal or more than the point here, which is a structure signal. That is, the strategy of establishing the wheel shaft 1 groove structure signal according to the probe position, the gear box 2 wheel set and other assembled parts according to the position of the probe, and judging the signal according to the position of the instrument display is used, so as to achieve the purpose of rapid detection.

[0035] From the above description, it can be seen that the fixing bolt 314 and the nut can realize the fixing of the sliding block 312 and the support 311.

[0036] Further, one side of the support 311 towards the clasp group 313 is an arc surface.
