[0033] It should be noted that the "front-back direction" mentioned below is an appendix. Figure 1 The arrows are for reference only. The forward arrows indicate the direction from the X-ray detection device to the laser detection device, while the backward arrows indicate the opposite direction.
[0034] Reference Appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 This utility model provides a cable cleaning and flaw detection system, comprising the following components arranged sequentially along the front-to-back direction:
[0035] The laser detection device 100 includes a detection ring 110, and a plurality of laser detection heads are arranged circumferentially on the detection ring 110. The laser detection heads are used to emit lasers to the cables passing through the detection ring 110 to detect the outside of the cables.
[0036] The cleaning device 200 includes a wet section 210 and a dry section 220. The wet section 210 includes a spray chamber 211 through which a cable can pass, which is used to rinse the surface of the cable with liquid. The dry section 220 includes a suction chamber 221 through which a cable can pass, which is used to remove liquid from the surface of the cable.
[0037] X-ray inspection device 300 is used to emit X-rays onto passing cables to examine the inside of the cables.
[0038] In practical applications, when the cable moves forward, it first passes through the laser detection device 100 at the center of the detection ring 110. At this time, multiple laser detection heads perform a 360° laser scan around the cable surface without blind spots. The laser scan data can determine whether there is any damage to the cable surface. For example, if damage is found, it can be found that the cable cross-section is not a complete circle (such as edge depression or cracks). Thus, the cable surface is inspected by laser for the first time. Then, the cable passes through the cleaning device 200 from the wet section 210. During the process of the cable passing through the wet section 210, the water spray chamber 211 will rinse the cable to remove the dirt attached to the cable surface. Finally, the cable passes through the X-ray inspection device 300. The X-ray inspection device 300 performs the first X-ray inspection on the cable for internal defects, thus realizing a comprehensive inspection of the cable from the inside out and completing the cleaning of the cable at the same time.
[0039] As the cable moves backward, the X-ray inspection device 300 performs a second X-ray inspection on the cable; then the cable passes through the cleaning device 200 from the dry water section 220. During the process of the cable passing through the dry water section 220, the water suction chamber 221 removes the liquid adhering to the surface of the cable, thereby ensuring that the surface of the cable is dry; finally, the laser detection device 100 performs a second laser inspection on the cable. This repeated inspection improves the accuracy and reliability of the inspection results and thoroughly cleans the cable.
[0040] In some embodiments, when the system inspects the cable, the relevant inspection data will be recorded and an alarm will be triggered when a defect is detected in the cable. For example, if external or internal damage to the cable is detected, an alarm will be triggered to prompt the user to investigate. If the user confirms the damage, the cable will be replaced; otherwise, subsequent inspection steps will continue.
[0041] In some embodiments, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 The dry water section 220 is located above the wet water section 210 as the upper layer of the wet water section 210. Placing the dry water section 220 above the wet water section 210 can reduce the risk of liquid flowing into the dry water section 220 from the wet water section 210. At the same time, the lower position of the wet water section 210 makes it easier for users to connect the water source to the wet water section 210.
[0042] In some embodiments, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 2 The dry water section 220 is provided with a first cable inlet groove 222. The water suction chamber 221 is connected to the outside through the first cable inlet groove 222. The first cable inlet groove 222 is used to allow the cable to pass through so that the cable enters the water suction chamber 221.
[0043] In practical applications, the user pushes the cable into the first cable inlet groove 222 and allows it to enter the water absorption chamber 221, thereby passing the cable through the dry water section 220. Compared with the method of passing the cable end from one side to the other in the front-back direction of the dry water section 220, the first cable inlet groove 222 can effectively reduce the difficulty of cable arrangement and facilitate the user to quickly arrange the cable.
[0044] In some embodiments, a sponge (not shown) is arranged inside the absorbent cavity 221. The sponge removes liquid from the surface of the cable by contacting the cable. The sponge has strong absorbency and is inexpensive and has low maintenance costs.
[0045] In some embodiments, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 2 The water spray chamber 211 is provided with a second cable inlet groove 212. The water spray chamber 211 is connected to the outside through the second cable inlet groove 212. The second cable inlet groove 212 is used to allow cables to pass through so that the cables can enter the water spray chamber 211.
[0046] In practical applications, the user pushes the cable into the second cable inlet groove 212 and into the water spray chamber 211, thereby passing the cable through the wet section 210. Compared with the method of passing the cable end from one side to the other in the front-back direction of the wet section 210, the second cable inlet groove 212 can effectively reduce the difficulty of cable arrangement and facilitate the user to quickly arrange the cable.
[0047] In some embodiments, brushes (not shown) are provided at both ends of the water spray chamber 211. The brushes can wipe away dirt on the surface of the cable and remove most of the liquid, further cleaning the cable while preventing too much liquid from remaining on the cable and dripping into the outside when the cable moves.
[0048] In some embodiments, a water gun (not shown) is arranged inside the water spray chamber 211, which sprays liquid onto the cable to rinse the cable surface.
[0049] In some embodiments, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 1 The cable cleaning and flaw detection system also includes a cable winding 400 and a cable reel 500. The cable winding 400 is positioned in front of the laser detection device 100 and is used to drive the cable forward to wind it up; the cable reel 500 is positioned behind the X-ray detection device 300 and is used to drive the cable backward to wind it up.
[0050] In practical applications, the cable reel 400 releases the cable, and the user arranges the cable and makes it pass through the laser detection device 100, the cleaning device 200 and the X-ray detection device 300 in sequence. Finally, the end of the cable is fixed on the cable reel 500. Then, the cable reel 500 is controlled to drive the cable forward to reel it in and perform the first cleaning and flaw detection. After the entire cable has completed the first cleaning and flaw detection, the cable reel 400 is controlled to drive the cable backward to reel it in and perform the second cleaning and flaw detection. After the entire cable has completed the second cleaning and flaw detection, the connection between the cable end and the cable reel 500 is disconnected, and the cable that has completed cleaning and flaw detection is finally stored in the cable reel 400.
[0051] In some embodiments, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 1 The cable take-up vehicle 400 is equipped with height-adjustable rollers 410, which are used to change the height of the cable during movement by abutting against the cable.
[0052] In practical applications, the placement height of the laser detection device 100, cleaning device 200, and X-ray inspection device 300 may vary due to the influence of the site layout, while the height at which the cable retractor 400 releases the cable is generally fixed. To ensure that the cable can be cleaned and inspected smoothly, after the cable retractor 400 releases the cable, the height of the cable during movement is changed using height-adjustable rollers 410, so that the cable height matches the placement height of the laser detection device 100, cleaning device 200, and X-ray inspection device 300, thereby meeting practical needs and improving the general applicability of the cable cleaning and inspection system.
[0053] Specifically, the roller 410 is fixed as a fixed pulley on the swing arm 420, which can swing in the up and down direction. The user can change the angle of the swing arm 420 according to actual needs, thereby changing the height of the roller 410.
[0054] In some embodiments, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 1 The cable reel 500 is provided with a cable clamping groove 510, which is used to clamp the cable end. When the cable end is clamped on the cable clamping groove 510, it is equivalent to being fixedly connected to the cable reel 500. At this time, the control cable pull-out motor (not shown) drives the cable reel 500 to wind up the cable.
[0055] Furthermore, the cable pull-out motor will automatically determine whether the cable has been cleaned based on the pulling force of the cable. If it determines that the cable has been cleaned, it will automatically stop the cable winding.
[0056] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiment," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this utility model. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
[0057] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and improvements fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
