Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of magnetic particle inspection technology, specifically relating to a spherical guide foot and inspection device for weld inspection. Background Technology
[0002] In industry, magnetic particle testing is used for final inspection of finished products or semi-finished products and raw materials to ensure that workpieces do not develop harmful defects on their surfaces after each processing step. Magnetic particle testing is a non-destructive testing method that detects defects on or near the surface of ferromagnetic materials by the accumulation of magnetic powder in a leakage magnetic field near defects. The workpiece is magnetized, and the leakage magnetic field at the defect location attracts the magnetic powder. The distribution of the magnetic powder reveals surface and near-surface defects. Magnetic particle testing is a frequently used non-destructive testing method. In the inspection of pressure pipelines, the commonly used magnetization method is the magnetic yoke method. Magnetic particle testing probes include type A and type D probes. Type A probes are suitable for fillet welds and the internal and external corners of large workpieces, while type D probes are suitable for curved and flat workpieces. Both types of probes have guide feet connected to their ends. These guide feet contact the workpiece to magnetize it; the ends of the guide feet are beveled or curved.
[0003] A magnetic yoke probe for detecting flaws in pipe mitered welds, with publication number CN221745934U, includes a magnetic core. Adjusting arms are rotatably mounted at both ends of the magnetic core, and coils are mounted on both arms. The adjusting arms are detachably connected to guide feet, which include beveled guide feet, flat guide feet, and double-slope guide feet. However, when this magnetic yoke probe detects fillet welds with small included angles and workpieces with small curved surfaces, multiple hinges need to be connected to the magnetic yoke to ensure a tight fit between the guide feet and the workpiece. This method not only reduces detection sensitivity but may even prevent good contact with the detection surface. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0038] Example 1:
[0039] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the spherical guide foot for weld flaw detection, including spherical guide foot 1, spherical guide foot 1 is hemispherical, any point on the spherical guide foot 1 has magnetic conductivity; the upper side of the spherical guide foot 1 is provided with tenon IV 3, the middle of the tenon IV 3 is provided with bolt hole 4, the bolt hole 4 is provided with bolt 5, and the bolt 5 penetrates the inside of the tenon IV 3 through the bolt hole 4.
[0040] The two sides of the spherical guide foot 1 are provided with stainless steel sheets 7, and a plurality of superimposed silicon steel sheets 6 are arranged between the stainless steel sheets 7, and the silicon steel sheets 6 and the stainless steel sheets 7 are fixed by rivets 8, and the rivets 8 penetrate the inside of the silicon steel sheets 6 and the stainless steel sheets 7.
[0041] Specifically, the spherical guide foot 1 is formed by superimposing a plurality of silicon steel sheets 6, the two sides of the spherical guide foot 1 are provided with stainless steel sheets 7, the two stainless steel sheets 7 are tightly attached to the two sides of the superimposed silicon steel sheets 6, and the silicon steel sheets 6 and the stainless steel sheets 7 are fixed by rivets 8.
[0042] Specifically, the upper side of the spherical guide foot 1 is tenon IV 3, the middle of the tenon IV 3 is provided with bolt hole 4, the bolt hole 4 is used to install bolt 5 to movably connect the spherical guide foot 1 and the magnetic yoke body, and the spherical guide foot 1 can rotate around the bolt 5.
[0043] Specifically, in order to ensure the detection sensitivity and the detection speed, when the magnetic yoke method is used for detection, the smaller the gap between the magnetic yoke and the detection workpiece is, the better, and the maximum gap of the contact part between the end face of the guide foot of the magnetic yoke and the surface of the workpiece should not exceed 1.5 mm. The contact between the spherical guide foot 1 and the workpiece is a point, and the gap between the end face of the spherical guide foot 1 and the contact part of the surface of the workpiece is 0.5 mm. In fact, in the area where the end face of the spherical guide foot 1 and the surface of the workpiece contact surface ≤0.5 mm, the magnetic force line also passes through, but the magnetic field intensity is weaker than when the gap is zero. Compared with the flat guide foot, because the surface of the workpiece or the guide foot plane is not smooth enough or the joint angle of the magnetic yoke cannot be adjusted to satisfy the good contact between the end face of the guide foot and the surface of the workpiece, the magnetic force line passing amount of the spherical guide foot 1 is larger, and the lifting force is more stable.
