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.
[0031] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a sensor installation device for monitoring defects in heat exchanger pressure vessels, comprising a support plate 1, with C-shaped plates 4 fixedly connected to the top left and right sides of the support plate 1, an L-shaped plate 5 fixedly connected to the top of the C-shaped plate 4, a cylinder 17 fixedly connected to the inward side of the L-shaped plate 5, a connecting plate 18 rotatably connected to the output end of the cylinder 17, a pressing plate 19 rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 18, and a conical plate 16 rotatably connected to the outward side of the outer wall of the pressing plate 19, the bottom of the conical plate 16 being fixedly connected to the L-shaped plate 19. A pressing rod 20 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the pressing plate 19 on the top of the plate 5. A pressing column 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the pressing rod 20. A column sensor 3 is provided on the top of the support plate 1. Triangle plates 15 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the column sensor 3. The top of the triangle plates 15 fits against the bottom of the pressing column 21. An adjustment mechanism 2 is provided at the bottom of the support plate 1. The adjustment mechanism 2 is used to adjust the angle of the sensor. A bracket 6 is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the base plate 10. An anti-slip pad 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bracket 6.
[0032] Specifically, an L-shaped plate 5 is securely connected to the top of the C-shaped plate 4, enhancing the overall structural stability and providing a mounting base for subsequent functional components. A cylinder 17 is fixedly connected to the inward side of the L-shaped plate 5, near the C-shaped plate 4. This cylinder 17 serves as the drive source and is fixedly connected to a pressing rod 20. The pressing rod 20, acting as a component to transmit pressing force, has a pressing post 21 securely connected to its bottom end. The tops of the two triangular plates 15 are in contact with the bottom of the pressing post 21. When the pressing post 21 descends, it first contacts the triangular plates 15, transmitting the pressing signal to the post sensor 3. This achieves precise transmission of the driving torque of the cylinder 17 to the pressing post 21, and through the combination of the post sensor 3 and the triangular plates 15…
[0033] Please see the appendix Figure 4 - Appendix Figure 5The adjustment mechanism 2 includes a second support plate 203. The top of the second support plate 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first support plate 1. Circular plates 201 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the second support plate 203. Arc grooves 207 are opened on the left and right sides of the circular plates 201. Limiting posts 206 are slidably connected to the inner side of the arc grooves 207. Conical plates 202 are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the limiting posts 206 on the inward side. Bolt 205 is threadedly connected to the middle of the inward side of the circular plates 201. A handle 204 is fixedly connected to the top of the outward side of the circular plates 201. A base plate 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conical plates 202. Fluorescent plates 11 are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the front side of the base plate 10.
[0034] Specifically, an arc-shaped groove 207 is provided on both sides of the circular plate 201. The inner side of this arc-shaped groove 207 is slidably connected to the limiting post 206. As a key component, the limiting post 206 allows the conical plate 202 to be flexibly adjusted within the range of the arc-shaped groove 207. The bolt 205 can be tightly pressed onto the conical plate 202 by rotation, thereby achieving precise locking of the position and angle of the conical plate 202, improving the reliability and stability of the device. The base plate 10 serves as the bottom support structure of the entire device, possessing extremely high load-bearing capacity and stability. A fluorescent plate 11 is fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the front side of the base plate 10. These two fluorescent plates 11 can emit bright light at night or in low-light environments.
[0035] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 A fixing plate 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the left anti-slip pad 7, and a battery 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate 9. An arc-shaped pad 14 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inward side of the clamping plate 13. The inward side of the arc-shaped pad 14 is attached to the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the column sensor 3. Bolts 12 are threadedly connected to the middle of the front side of the support plate 1. The clamping plate 13 is fixedly connected to the inward side of the bolt 12. A controller 22 is fixedly connected to the middle of the right side of the right bracket 6. The controller 22 is electrically connected to the fixing plate 9 and the cylinder 17 respectively.
[0036] Specifically, the fixing plate 9 not only provides additional support and stability, but also provides a mounting base for subsequent functional components. A battery 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate 9, which serves as the power supply for the entire device. The arc-shaped pad 14 has a unique design, with its inward side tightly fitting against the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the column sensor 3, effectively protecting the column sensor 3 from damage during operation and improving the fit and stability between the clamping plate 13 and the column sensor 3. The controller 22 is responsible for receiving and processing the power supplied by the battery 8 on the fixing plate 9.
[0037] Working principle: When the sensor needs to be installed, the column sensor 3 to be installed is first placed inside the support plate 1. At this time, the C-shaped plate 4 and L-shaped plate 5 are fixed together. Then, the cylinder 17 is activated to push the connecting plate 18 inward, so that the pressing plate 19 is driven along the conical plate 16. This, together with the pressing rod 20, presses the pressing column 21 down onto the triangular plate 15, thereby pressing and installing the column sensor 3. Therefore, the sensor can be quickly installed and removed, reducing installation time and improving installation efficiency.
[0038] Next, fix the support plate 203 to the circular plate 201, loosen the bolt 205, and slide the circular plate 201 forward along the inner side of the arc groove 207 by holding the handle 204. Adjust the angle of the column sensor 3 to ensure that the circular plate 201 cannot fall off. Then, tighten the bolt 205 to limit the circular plate 201. Thus, the angle of the sensor can be effectively adjusted to meet the different position requirements of the sensor and improve the efficiency of use.
