[0017] like Figures 2-4 As shown, an automatic ultrasonic flaw detector for measuring the rotational speed of a steel pipe includes a rotating plug 1, a top plate 8, a photoelectric sensor 9, a speed display 11, and a linear guide rail 6. The rotating plug 1 is positioned at the head of the steel pipe 5 and rotates forward with it. The top plate 8 is mounted on the linear guide rail 6 via a linear bearing 7 and moves along the linear guide rail 6. The rotating plug 1 presses against the top plate 8, and its outer surface has an axially provided bayonet for mounting a dedicated reflective element 10. The photoelectric sensor 9 is mounted on the top plate 8 and is matched with the reflective element 10. The speed display 11 is mounted near the linear guide rail 6 and is connected to the photoelectric sensor 9 via a cable to display real-time automatic rotational speed measurement data of the steel pipe 5.
[0018] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the rotating plug 1 adopts a combined structure. The main body is made of nylon, and the tail has threads. The head of the rotating plug 1 is conical and made of hard alloy material, which is highly hard and wear-resistant. It is inserted into the main body. The top plate 8 is machined from mold steel and precision ground after surface quenching. The top plate 8 has a circular blind hole, into which the conical head 2 of the rotating plug 1 is inserted. The conical head 2 and the blind hole cooperate to ensure the stability of the rotation of the end of the steel pipe 5. The conical head 2 and the main body are combined with different materials to facilitate the replacement of the conical head 2 after wear. The threaded structure at the tail of the main body ensures that the rotating plug 1 is tightly and firmly connected to the inner wall of the steel pipe 5 and rotates at the same speed as the steel pipe 5.

The rotating plug 1 presses against the top plate 8, ensuring the relative position of the photoelectric sensor 9 and the reflective element 10 remains stable, maintaining the accuracy of the detection data. Simultaneously, it also reduces the end-end swinging during flaw detection of small-diameter steel pipes.
