Therefore, a detection equipment of big reducing elbow is needed. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all the other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0024] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 A detection equipment of large-diameter-change elbow, including base 1, the outer side of the upper surface of base 1 is fixedly installed with elbow placing box 2, the middle part of the upper surface of base 1 is fixedly installed with traveling assembly 3, traveling assembly 3 includes stepper motor, and the stepper motor is located at the axis center of elbow placing box 2, the output end outer wall of stepper motor is fixedly installed with swing rod 31, one end of arc-shaped rod 32 is fixedly installed on the outer end of swing rod 31, and the other end of arc-shaped rod 32 is fixedly installed with mounting plate 33, and detection assembly 4 is fixedly installed on mounting plate 33.
[0025] The inner wall of elbow placing box 2 is uniformly embedded with strain gauges, the inner cavity shape of elbow placing box 2 is same with the outer wall shape of large-diameter-change elbow, after the elbow is placed into elbow placing box 2, the elbow will be in contact with strain gauges, through the deformation signal of strain gauges, the control center or processor can judge the outer wall shape of elbow, and the preliminary detection of the outer wall of elbow is completed.
[0026] The characteristics of the stepper motor enable precise rotation and positioning control. Through the operation of the stepper motor and the transmission of the swing rod 31 and the arc-shaped rod 32, the detection assembly 4 can be driven to move on the axis of the elbow placing box 2, and then the inner wall of the elbow in the elbow placing box 2 can be detected.
[0027] The detection assembly 4 comprises a motor 41 fixedly installed on the mounting plate 33. The output end of the motor 41 is fixedly installed with a rotating block 42, the center of which is located on the axis of the elbow placing box 2. The middle part of the rotating block 42 is fixedly installed with a fixed cylinder 43. The inner cavity bottom end of the fixed cylinder 43 is fixedly installed with a pressure sensor 44. The fixed cylinder 43 is movably assembled with a movable rod 46. The pressure sensor 44 and the movable rod 46 are fixedly installed with a spring 45. The outer end of the movable rod 46 is fixedly installed with a detection head 47.
[0028] The detection head 47 of the detection assembly 4 contacts with the inner wall of the elbow. When contacting, the spring 45 is compressed. The pressure sensor detects the pressure information in real time. The control center or the processor can determine the size of the corresponding position in the elbow according to the pressure information and the operation of the stepper motor and the motor 41, and complete the detection of the size of the inner wall of the elbow.
[0029] When the spring 45 is not subjected to external force, the position of the detection head 47 is located outside the large-diameter side of the elbow. When the detection head 47 moves into the elbow, the spring 45 will be subjected to pressure. The operation of the stepper motor will drive the detection head to move from one end of the large-diameter side of the elbow to the small-diameter side. The change of the size of the elbow will drive the detection head 47 to move inward, so that the pressure data detected by the pressure sensor gradually increases. According to the curve change, the information of the change of the inner diameter of the elbow can be obtained. The rotation of the motor 41 will drive the detection head 47 to rotate, so that the roundness of a certain position in the elbow can be detected.

[0031] Specifically, the arc-shaped rod 32 is concentric with the axis of the elbow placing box 2, and the diameter of the arc-shaped rod 32 is smaller than the diameter of the axis of the elbow placing box 2. The diameter of the arc-shaped rod 32 is limited to ensure that the trajectory of the detection assembly 4 is on the axis of the elbow placing box 2.
[0032] Specifically, the support table 21 is fixedly installed between the outer wall lower side of the elbow placing box 2 and the base 1. The large-diameter end of the elbow placing box 2 is provided with a tapered end face 22.
[0033] The detection head 47 can be moved into the elbow through the guidance of the tapered end face 22, or can be manually operated.
[0034] Specifically, the small-diameter end of the elbow placing box 2 is fixedly provided with an annular end cover 23, and the inner diameter of the annular end cover 23 is smaller than the inner diameter of the elbow.
[0035] The annular end cover 23 is used to limit the position of the elbow, and in some cases, the inner diameter of the annular end cover 23 needs to be equal to the inner diameter of the elbow to avoid hindering the passing of the detection assembly 4.
[0036] Specifically, the swing rod 31 is sleeved with a supporting ring 34, the lower surface of the supporting ring 34 is fixedly provided with a supporting rod 35, the upper surface of the base 1 is provided with an arc-shaped sliding groove 11, and the lower end of the supporting rod 35 is located in the arc-shaped sliding groove 11.
[0037] Specifically, the upper surface of the base 1 is fixedly provided with a supporting column 12, the upper end of the supporting column 12 is provided with a through slot, and the arc-shaped rod 32 passes through the through slot.
[0038] The structure of the supporting ring 34, the supporting rod 35 and the supporting column 12 realizes double support of the arc-shaped rod 32, guarantees the stability of the rotation of the arc-shaped rod 32, and further guarantees the stability of the detection assembly 4.
