Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nondestructive testing technology, and in particular to an X-ray source transport device. Background Technology
[0002] The wing is a core component of an aircraft that bears aerodynamic loads. It is subjected to alternating stress, fatigue loads, and extreme environments over long periods, making it prone to cracks or corrosion in its metal structure, rivet points, bolt holes, and other locations. Non-destructive testing can detect these potential defects in advance, preventing catastrophic accidents such as fractures during flight.
[0003] Currently, the X-ray source for wing X-ray imaging is mainly placed manually, that is, the X-ray flaw detector is manually moved to the position where it needs to be photographed. However, due to space limitations, it is difficult for operators to adjust the shooting angle and shooting height. In addition, manual operation cannot ensure that the position of the X-ray source remains fixed, which will have a significant impact on the quality of the film after shooting and cause some interference to the subsequent digital comparison of films at the same position.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies propose integrating flaw detectors with intelligent mobile platforms to form automated non-destructive testing (NDT) devices, thus replacing manual NDT operations. However, current automated NDT devices typically employ robotic arms to adjust the position and angle of the X-ray source. These robotic arms are quite tall, making them prone to colliding with the wings during adjustment; furthermore, they are susceptible to malfunction, potentially damaging the X-ray source and wings.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a transportation device that can meet the transportation requirements of X-ray sources for non-destructive testing of aircraft wings. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an X-ray source transport device that has a low overall height, high stability, and will not damage the X-ray source or the wings even if the device malfunctions.

[0009] Mobile cart;
[0010] The support platform includes an adjustment mechanism and a fixing mechanism. The adjustment mechanism is mounted on the mobile trolley and includes at least three independently adjustable parts.

One end of the swing mechanism is connected to the output shaft on the corresponding side, and the other end of the swing mechanism is connected to the free end of the rotating lifting arm on the corresponding side.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0021] The X-ray source transport device provided by this utility model uses a mobile trolley to transport the X-ray source, which not only has a high degree of automation, but also avoids the potential safety impact of manually placing the X-ray source. Furthermore, by adjusting the height and angle of the X-ray source using a support platform, it not only ensures the accuracy of the detection, but also, compared to a robotic arm, the overall height of the support platform is lower, resulting in greater stability during adjustment. This avoids collisions with the wings during the adjustment of the X-ray source, thereby preventing damage to the wings or the X-ray source. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.
[0035] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0036] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0037] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.
[0038] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides an X-ray source transport device. The X-ray source is used to emit X-rays for non-destructive testing of aircraft wings. The X-ray source transport device includes a mobile trolley 1 and a support platform 2. The support platform 2 includes an adjustment mechanism 21 and a fixing mechanism 22. The adjustment mechanism 21 is mounted on the mobile trolley 1 and includes at least three independently adjustable parts 211. The fixing mechanism 22 is mounted on the adjustment mechanism 21. The fixing mechanism 22 is rotatably connected to the lifting end of each adjusting part 211, and the three lifting ends are arranged in a triangular pattern. The fixing mechanism 22 is used to fix the X-ray source. The adjustment mechanism 21 can adjust the height and tilt angle of the fixing mechanism 22 and the X-ray source.
[0039] It should be noted that the X-ray source transport device includes at least three independently adjustable parts 211 by setting an adjustment mechanism 21. The fixing mechanism 22 is rotatably connected to the lifting end of each adjustable part 211, and the three lifting ends are arranged in a triangle. Thus, when the lifting ends of at least three adjustable parts 211 rise and fall synchronously, the height of the fixing mechanism 22 can be adjusted. When any two lifting ends of at least three adjustable parts 211 rise and fall synchronously, the tilt angle of the fixing mechanism 22 can be adjusted.
[0040] This X-ray source transport device uses a mobile trolley 1 to transport the X-ray source, which avoids the potential safety hazards of manual placement compared to manual handling. The device adjusts the height and angle of the X-ray source using a support platform 2. Compared to manual adjustment, the support platform 2 ensures the X-ray source remains in a fixed position, thus guaranteeing detection accuracy. Compared to a robotic arm, the support platform 2 is lower in overall height, preventing collisions with the wing during X-ray source adjustment and providing greater stability, thus avoiding damage to the wing or the X-ray source.
[0041] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 21 includes three adjustment parts 211. When the lifting ends of the three adjustment parts 211 rise and fall synchronously, they can drive the fixing mechanism 22 to rise and fall synchronously. When any two lifting ends of the three adjustment parts 211 rise and fall synchronously, the tilt angle of the fixing mechanism 22 can be adjusted. By setting the adjustment mechanism 21 to include only three adjustment parts 211, the structure is not only simple and has good adjustment stability, but also the control difficulty is reduced.
[0042] It is understood that in some other embodiments, the number of adjustment parts 211 can also be set to more than three according to actual needs, as long as any three of them are arranged in a triangle, that is, the lifting ends of all adjustment parts 211 are not collinear, so that the height and tilt angle of the fixing mechanism 22 can be adjusted.
[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting ends of the three adjustment parts 211 are arranged in an equilateral triangle, which can further improve the adjustment stability of the adjustment mechanism 21.
[0044] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the adjustment unit 211 includes a dual-axis motor 2111, two swing mechanisms, and a rotating lifting arm 2115. The dual-axis motor 2111 includes two synchronously rotating output shafts. The rotating lifting arm 2115 is disposed on the upper side of the dual-axis motor 2111. The two output shafts, the two swing mechanisms, and the two free ends of the rotating lifting arm 2115 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. One end of the swing mechanism is connected to the output shaft on the corresponding side, and the other end of the swing mechanism is connected to the free end of the rotating lifting arm 2115 on the corresponding side.
[0045] With the above settings, when the two output shafts of the dual-axis motor 2111 rotate, they will drive the two swing mechanisms to rotate synchronously at the end connected to the output shaft, and cause the two swing mechanisms to move in a circle at the end connected to the rotating lifting arm 2115, thereby driving the rotating lifting arm 2115 to lift and deflect.
[0046] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the swing mechanism includes a first connecting body 2112, a second connecting body 2114, and a limiting screw. The first connecting body 2112 has a rod-shaped main body with a through hole at one end for connecting to the output end of a dual-axis motor 2111, and a short shaft at the other end for connecting to the second connecting body 2114. The second connecting body 2114 includes a first annular connecting portion for connecting to the short shaft on the first connecting body 2112 and a rod-shaped connecting portion for connecting to a rotating lifting arm 2115. The rod-shaped connecting portion is located on the outer circumferential surface of the first annular connecting portion, and the short shaft on the first connecting body 2112 is rotatably disposed within the inner ring of the first annular connecting portion. Furthermore, to prevent the first annular connecting portion from detaching from the short shaft of the first connecting body 2112, a threaded hole is provided on the short shaft of the first connecting body 2112. The limiting screw is installed in the threaded hole, thereby limiting the second connecting body 2114 between the first connecting body 2112 and the nut of the limiting screw.
[0047] When the output shaft of the dual-axis motor 2111 rotates, it drives the through-hole end of the first connector 2112 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the short shaft end of the first connector 2112 moves in a circle with the through-hole end as the center. Since the short shaft of the first connector 2112 is set in the first annular connecting part, the short shaft end of the first connector 2112 will drive the second connector 2114 to move in a synchronous circle. At the same time, since the short shaft of the first connector 2112 is rotatably connected to the first annular connecting part, the second connector 2114 can rotate relative to the short shaft end of the first connector 2112, so that the height of the second connector 2114 changes and the angle also changes.
[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, a ball bearing 2113 is also provided between the short shaft of the first connecting body 2112 and the first annular connecting part. The ball bearing 2113 is disposed in the inner ring of the first annular connecting part, and the short shaft on the first connecting body 2112 is inserted into the inner ring of the ball bearing 2113. By providing the ball bearing 2113, the second connecting body 2114 can rotate more stably and smoothly relative to the first connecting body 2112.
[0049] It should be noted that the structure and motion principle of the two swing mechanisms are exactly the same, and will not be repeated here. When the two output shafts of the dual-axis motor 2111 rotate synchronously, the two swing mechanisms can move synchronously.
[0050] It is understood that in some other embodiments, the oscillating mechanism may also adopt other types of structures, such as crank-rocker structures or cam structures, and there is no limitation here.
[0051] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the rotating lifting arm 2115 includes two roughly inverted U-shaped connecting plates, which are connected by multiple bolts, thus ensuring the structural strength of the rotating lifting arm 2115 while reducing its weight. The rod-shaped connecting portions on the two second connecting bodies 2114 are respectively connected to the open ends of the rotating lifting arm 2115, so that when the height and angle of the second connecting bodies 2114 change, the height and angle of the rotating lifting arm 2115 can change synchronously.
[0052] Furthermore, to facilitate the connection between the rotating lifting arm 2115 and the swing mechanism, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the open end of the rotating lifting arm 2115 is also provided with a first connecting block 2116. The first connecting block 2116 is disposed between two connecting plates and is fixedly connected to the rod-shaped connecting part on the second connecting body 2114.
[0053] To achieve a rotating connection between the fixed mechanism 22 and the lifting end of the adjusting part 211, such as Figure 5 As shown, the rotating lifting arm 2115 is further provided with a rotating connection structure at its closed top end. The rotating connection structure includes a third connecting body 2118 and a fourth connecting body 2119. The third connecting body 2118 includes a second annular connecting portion for connecting with the fourth connecting body 2119 and a first mounting portion for mounting on the rotating lifting arm 2115. The first mounting portion is disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the second annular connecting portion. The fourth connecting body 2119 is a specially shaped rotating structure, including a central spherical rotating portion and columnar connecting portions located on opposite sides of the spherical rotating portion. The spherical rotating portion is disposed within the inner ring of the second annular connecting portion, allowing the fourth connecting body 2119 to rotate relative to the third connecting body 2118. The columnar connecting portions are used for connection with the fixing mechanism 22.
[0054] When the height and angle of the rotating lifting arm 2115 change, the third connecting body 2118 on the rotating lifting arm 2115 can drive the fourth connecting body 2119 to rise, fall and deflect, and then the fourth connecting body 2119 drives the fixed mechanism 22 to change its height and angle.
[0055] Furthermore, to facilitate the connection between the rotating lifting arm 2115 and the rotating connection structure, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the U-shaped closed end of the rotating lifting arm 2115 is also provided with a second connecting block 2117. The second connecting block 2117 is disposed between the two connecting plates, and the first mounting part is fixedly connected to the second connecting block 2117. Optionally, the first mounting part and the second connecting block 2117 are fixedly connected by a threaded structure.
[0056] It should be noted that the structure and movement principle of the three adjustment parts 211 in this embodiment are exactly the same, and will not be repeated here.
[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the side walls of the motors 2111 of any two of the three adjustment sections 211 are connected by connecting side plates 212, and the tops of the three connecting side plates 212 are also connected together by a triangular connecting top plate 213. This arrangement makes the lifting ends of the three adjustment sections 211 arranged in a triangle, and tightly connects the three adjustment sections 211 together, resulting in a very compact overall structure of the adjustment mechanism 21.
[0058] It is understood that in some other embodiments, the adjustment parts 211 may also be connected in other ways, as long as the lifting ends of the three adjustment parts 211 are arranged in a triangle, and no restrictions are imposed here.
[0059] Furthermore, to facilitate the installation of the adjustment mechanism 21 on the mobile trolley 1, such as... Figure 4As shown, each motor 2111 has a fixed base plate 214 at its bottom, and the adjustment mechanism 21 is mounted on the mobile trolley 1 through the fixed base plate 214.
[0060] In this embodiment, a mechanical adjustment mechanism 21 is used, which ensures precise adjustment while also keeping the overall cost low. It is understood that in some other embodiments, the adjustment mechanism 21 can employ other adjustment methods, such as adjusting the height and tilt angle of the fixing mechanism 22 via electromagnetic drive. This method can further shorten the response time, but the overall cost is higher.
[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, the fixing mechanism 22 includes a support plate 221 and two fixing members 222. The support plate 221 is rotatably connected to the lifting end of the adjusting mechanism 21. The two fixing members 222 are spaced apart on the support plate 221 and are used to fix the end of the X-ray source. By fixing the X-ray source to the fixing mechanism 22, the height and angle of the X-ray source can be adjusted synchronously when the adjusting mechanism 21 adjusts the height and angle of the fixing mechanism 22.
[0062] Optionally, the fixing member 222 is a clamp that holds the end of the X-ray source. Of course, it is understood that in some other embodiments, the fixing member 222 can also be of other structures, as long as it can fix the X-ray source; this is not a limitation. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the fixing mechanism 22 can also be configured as a structure of a support frame and a ring-shaped fixing frame, depending on the requirements. The support frame is used for rotatable connection with the lifting end of the adjusting mechanism 21, and the ring-shaped fixing frame is used for connection with the end of the X-ray source.
[0063] Furthermore, in order to reduce the weight of the fixing mechanism 22 and reduce the pressure of the support platform 2 on the moving trolley 1, multiple weight-reducing holes are also provided on the support plate 221.
[0064] To facilitate the connection between the bearing plate 221 and the lifting end of the adjusting mechanism 21, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a connecting frame 3 is also provided between the adjusting mechanism 21 and the fixing mechanism 22. The connecting frame 3 is rotatably connected to the lifting end of the adjusting part 211, and the fixing mechanism 22 is provided on the connecting frame 3.
[0065] like Figure 6As shown, the connecting frame 3 includes a frame body 31 and multiple connecting members 32. Each connecting member 32 corresponds to one of the multiple adjusting parts 211, and the multiple connecting members 32 are rotatably connected to the lifting ends of each of the multiple adjusting parts 211. The connecting member 32 is generally a pin-shaped structure, including a second mounting part for connecting to the frame body 31, and two connecting parts perpendicularly connected to the second mounting part. The two connecting parts are located on the same side of the second mounting part and are used to connect to the columnar connecting part of the fourth connecting body 2119.
[0066] When the height and angle of the rotating lifting arm 2115 change, the third connecting body 2118 on the rotating lifting arm 2115 can drive the fourth connecting body 2119 to rise and deflect. In turn, the fourth connecting body 2119 drives the connecting piece 32 to rise and deflect. In turn, the connecting piece 32 drives the height and angle of the connecting frame 3 to change. In turn, the connecting frame 3 drives the height and angle of the fixing mechanism 22 to change.
[0067] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the frame body 31 is roughly triangular in structure and is composed of multiple intersecting rods. Three connectors 32 are provided and are respectively located at the three corners of the frame body 31. The three connectors 32 are respectively connected to the columnar connecting parts of the three fourth connectors 2119. The triangular design enables the adjustment mechanism 21 to stably adjust the fixing mechanism 22.
[0068] It is understood that in some other embodiments, the shape of the frame body 31 and the number of connectors 32 can be adaptively adjusted according to the number of adjustment parts 211, and no limitation is made here.
[0069] Furthermore, in order to reduce the weight of the frame body 31 and reduce the pressure of the support platform 2 on the moving trolley 1, multiple weight-reducing holes are also provided on the frame body 31.
[0070] Furthermore, to facilitate the connection between the connecting frame 3 and the fixing mechanism 22, such as Figure 6 As shown, a fixed top plate 33 is also provided on the connecting frame 3, so that the frame body 31 can be fixedly connected to the bearing plate 221 through the fixed top plate 33.
[0071] Optionally, in this embodiment, the mobile vehicle 1 is an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle). AGVs have a high level of automation and intelligence. They can operate autonomously through computer, laser navigation, or electromagnetic induction technology without human intervention. When the battery is low, they can automatically request charging. At the same time, they can accurately move to designated locations and avoid obstacles through wireless positioning sensors or lidar, resulting in high safety.
[0072] Of course, it is understood that other types of automated transport devices, such as AMR autonomous mobile robots, may also be used in some other embodiments, and this is not a limitation.
[0073] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mobile trolley 1 is also equipped with a camera device 5, which is used to provide on-site footage of the mobile trolley 1 during its movement and to determine the shooting positioning point. Optionally, the camera device 5 is a 360° camera, which can provide a complete on-site view, making it easier for operators to observe.
[0074] Furthermore, the mobile trolley 1 is also equipped with an alarm device, which is used to issue a reminder signal after the mobile trolley 1 reaches the designated position, reminding the operator to perform the next operation. Optionally, the alarm device is an audible and visual alarm or a buzzer.
[0075] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mobile trolley 1 is also equipped with a control cabinet 6, which is electrically connected to the adjustment mechanism 21. The control cabinet 6 controls the adjustment mechanism 21 to adjust the height and angle of the fixing mechanism 22, thereby adjusting the height and angle of the X-ray source. The structure of the control cabinet 6 and the control program for the mobile trolley 1 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0076] Furthermore, to facilitate the mounting of the support platform 2 and the control cabinet 6 on the mobile trolley 1, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the mobile trolley 1 is also equipped with a mounting plate 4, which is fixed to the top of the mobile trolley 1, and the support platform 2 and control cabinet 6 are then mounted on the mounting plate 4.
[0077] Furthermore, since the X-rays emitted by the X-ray source have high radiation, this radiation can affect the normal operation of electronic components inside the mobile trolley 1. Therefore, the outer surface of the mobile trolley 1 is also provided with a radiation protection layer. By performing radiation protection treatment on the entire vehicle, radiation interference with the circuit is avoided.
[0078] The X-ray source transport device provided by this utility model has the following specific working process:
[0079] (1) Plan the driving path of the mobile trolley 1 and set the designated location that the X-ray source transportation device needs to reach;
[0080] (2) The mobile car 1 automatically travels along the set path. During the travel process, it uses the wireless positioning sensor or lidar on the mobile car 1 to avoid obstacles until it reaches the designated location.
[0081] (3) After reaching the designated location, the alarm device will issue a prompt signal. The operator will control the camera device 5 to take pictures of the current location and manually confirm the location. If the location is incorrect, the position of the mobile trolley 1 will be finely adjusted until the designated location is reached.
[0082] (4) Control the carrier platform 2 to adjust the height and angle of the X-ray source, and control the shooting in the background;
[0083] (5) After the shooting is completed, the AGV returns along the set path, and can charge itself at the charging location when the battery is low.
[0084] The X-ray source transport device provided by this utility model uses a mobile trolley 1 to transport the X-ray source, which avoids the potential safety impact of manual placement of the X-ray source compared to manual handling. The height and angle of the X-ray source are adjusted by the support platform 2. Compared to manual adjustment, the support platform 2 can ensure that the position of the X-ray source remains fixed, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the detection. Compared with a robotic arm, the overall height of the support platform 2 is lower, which can avoid collision with the wings when adjusting the X-ray source, and the stability during adjustment is stronger, which can avoid damage to the wings or the X-ray source.
[0085] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
