Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing device technology, and in particular to an ultrasonic testing device for steel structure welds. Background Technology
[0002] In many fields such as steel structure construction, bridges, and machinery manufacturing, the quality of steel structure welds is of paramount importance. Defects in welds, such as cracks, porosity, and slag inclusions, can seriously affect the strength, stability, and safety of steel structures. Ultrasonic testing technology has been widely used in the inspection of steel structure welds due to its advantages such as ease of operation, relatively low cost, and no harm to the human body.
[0003] Based on the above, the following problems were found: During the actual construction of steel structures, due to the complexity of design requirements and construction technology, the welds exhibit a wide variety of shapes. In terms of location, the welds may be in different orientations such as horizontal, vertical, and inclined, and are distributed on different surfaces and corners of the components. This makes it difficult to ensure that the detection probe can uniformly and accurately cover the entire weld area during ultrasonic testing. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly rotate and move the steel structure components so that the ultrasonic flaw detector can inspect the weld area, which is very inconvenient. For some large and heavy steel structure components, the moving operation itself poses a significant safety risk and can easily lead to safety accidents. Utility Model Content

The rotating mechanism 4 includes a C-shaped mounting frame 41, the bottom end of which is connected to the top end of the support frame 3. A plurality of guide wheels 42 are rotatably connected to one side of the C-shaped mounting frame 41, arranged in a circular array. A C-shaped toothed disc 43 is fitted between the guide wheels 42. A conductive groove 49 is provided on one side of the C-shaped mounting frame 41. A conductive sheet 40 is mounted on one side of the C-shaped toothed disc 43, and the conductive sheet 40 is slidably connected to the conductive groove 49. A testing mechanism 5 is mounted on one side of the C-shaped toothed disc 43. By installing the linear motor 1, the device enables the device to operate... During operation, the moving end drives the support frame 3 to move back and forth, thereby causing the rotating mechanism 4 and the detection mechanism 5 to move back and forth. The detection mechanism 5 is used to detect different weld positions on the steel structure component. By setting a C-shaped mounting frame 41, it is convenient for the user to place the steel structure component inside the C-shaped mounting frame 41 to detect its weld. By rotating and connecting several circular array of guide wheels 42, it is convenient to install the C-shaped toothed disk 43 and make it rotate between the guide wheels 42, thereby driving the detection mechanism 5 to rotate and detect welds at different positions on the steel structure component. By sliding the conductive groove 49 and the conductive sheet 40, the C-shaped toothed disk 43 does not affect the power supply to the detection mechanism 5 when it rotates.
[0035] like Figure 1 - Figure 5The testing mechanism 5 includes a fixed frame 51, one side of which is connected to one side of a C-shaped toothed disc 43.

A pair of gears 44 are rotatably connected to one side of the transmission box 48, which meshes with the C-shaped gear disk 43.

[0036] like Figure 1 - Figure 5The adjusting mechanism 2 includes a base 21, the upper end of which is connected to the bottom end of the linear motor 1. A through groove 27 is provided on the base 21, and a pair of movable frames 22 are slidably mounted at both ends of the through groove 27.

A bidirectional lead screw 21 is rotatably connected inside the through groove 27. 0. Both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 210 are threaded with sliders 29. The two sides of each pair of sliders 29 are connected to the two opposite ends of each pair of movable frames 22. A fourth servo motor 28 is installed at one end of the base 21. The output end of the fourth servo motor 28 is connected to the bidirectional lead screw 210 for transmission. The conductive sheet 40 is electrically connected to the telescopic rod 52, the first servo motor 53, the second servo motor 54, and the ultrasonic flaw detector 56 via wires.

A movable groove 25 is opened at the bottom end of the movable frame 22, and a roller 26 is rotatably connected inside it to facilitate the movement of the support rod 23. The distance between the pair of conveyor rollers 24 is adjusted to support steel structure components of different lengths. By threading sliders 29 to both ends of the bidirectional screw 210 and connecting them to the movable frame 22, the bidirectional screw 210 rotates when the fourth servo motor 28 is working. The sliders 29 drive the movable frame 22 to move relative to each other, thereby adjusting the distance between the pair of conveyor rollers 24. By electrically connecting the conductive sheet 40 to the telescopic rod 52, the first servo motor 53, the second servo motor 54 and the ultrasonic flaw detector 56 through wires, the conductive sheet 40 is always in contact with the conductive groove 49 when the C-shaped toothed disk 43 rotates, thus providing power to the detection mechanism 5.
[0037] Working principle
[0038] In use, based on the length of the steel structure component to be inspected, the fourth servo motor 28 is activated. The fourth servo motor 28 drives the bidirectional lead screw 210 to rotate. The slider 29, threaded at both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 210, drives the moving frame 22 to move relative to each other within the through groove 27. The spacing of the conveying rollers 24 is adjusted by the support rod 23 at the upper end of the moving frame 22 to adapt to the length of the steel structure component. Then, the steel structure component is placed on the conveying rollers 24. The linear motor 1 is activated. The moving end of the linear motor 1 drives the support frame 3 to move back and forth, thereby driving the rotating mechanism 4 and the detection mechanism 5 to move, bringing the detection mechanism 5 closer to the weld. Based on the size of the steel structure component, the length of the telescopic rod 52 is adjusted to place the ultrasonic flaw detector 56 at a suitable detection distance. The third servo motor 45 is activated. The third servo motor 45 drives the synchronous pulley 46 to rotate. Through the synchronous belt 47, a pair of gears 44 rotate synchronously. The gears 44 mesh with the C-shaped gear disk 43, driving the C-shaped gear disk 43 to rotate, thereby enabling the detection... Mechanism 5 rotates around the steel structure component, adjusting the detection direction of the ultrasonic flaw detector 56 to align it with the weld. Simultaneously, the first servo motor 53 is activated, driving the movable base 55 to rotate and further fine-tune the direction of the ultrasonic flaw detector 56. The second servo motor 54 is activated, driving the ultrasonic flaw detector 56 to rotate and adjust its detection angle to adapt to weld inspection at different positions and angles. After adjusting the position, direction, and angle of the ultrasonic flaw detector 56, it is activated for inspection. During the inspection process, because the conductive plate 40 is slidably connected to the conductive groove 49, power supply to the telescopic rod 52, the first servo motor 53, the second servo motor 54, and the ultrasonic flaw detector 56 is maintained at all times, ensuring the continuous operation of the inspection. The ultrasonic flaw detector 56 emits ultrasonic waves towards the weld and receives the reflected signals, analyzes and processes the signals to determine whether there are defects in the weld and the type, location, and size of the defects.
