Detailed Implementation
[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0024] First embodiment:
[0025] See Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a pipe ultrasonic testing structure, including a first support 1 and a second support 2. The first support 1 and the second support 2 are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft. A torsion spring is provided on the outside of the rotating shaft to push the first support 1 and the second support 2 to rotate in opposite directions. The first support 1 and the second support 2 together form an arc-shaped structure. Overcoming the elastic pull of the torsion spring, the first support 1 and the second support 2 move away from each other, which can clamp the device on the outside of the pipe. The first support 1 and the second support 2 can be used to clamp the pipe. The elasticity of the torsion spring can make the movable ends of the first support 1 and the second support 2 rotate toward the pipe, resulting in a good and stable clamping effect on the pipe.
[0026] Multiple elastic support members 4 are provided on both the first support 1 and the second support 2. The inner end of the elastic support member 4 extends between the first support 1 and the second support 2 and is connected to a traveling wheel 5 or a traveling component 6. On the inner side of the first support 1 and the second support 2, the elastic support member 4 can support the traveling wheel 5 and the traveling component 6, so that the traveling wheel 5 and the traveling component 6 can contact the outer wall of the pipe. The traveling component 6 is used to assist in the movement, and the traveling wheel 5 is used to assist in the rotation, so that the device can move smoothly. In addition, since the torsion spring in the device is elastic, the elastic support member 4 is also elastic, which enables the device to adapt to the installation of more pipe sizes, thereby realizing the detection.
[0027] The first support 1 or the second support 2 is equipped with a wireless communication controller 7, a battery and an ultrasonic generator 8. The inner wall of the first support 1 and the second support 2 is equipped with an ultrasonic probe 801 electrically connected to the ultrasonic generator 8. The ultrasonic generator 8, the battery and the traveling component 6 are all electrically connected to the wireless communication controller 7. In the structure of the device, the ultrasonic generator 8 and the ultrasonic probe 801 can be used to perform non-destructive ultrasonic testing on the pipeline, and the terminal equipment is wirelessly connected to the wireless communication controller 7 in the device, thereby realizing wireless control and data transmission of the device.
[0028] In the device, the wireless communication controller 7 is model SIM800L, with a size of approximately 25mm x 23mm. It communicates with the terminal device via the GSM / GPRS communication protocol and is suitable for wireless remote monitoring and data transmission over GSM networks.
[0029] The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that:
[0030] The elastic support 4 includes a guide rod 401 that slides with the first bracket 1 or the second bracket 2. The outer end of the guide rod 401 is connected to a stop 403. The inner end of the guide rod 401 extends to the inner side of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 and is connected to the traveling wheel 5 or the traveling assembly 6. The outer side of the guide rod 401 is provided with a thrust spring 402 that pushes the traveling wheel 5 or the traveling assembly 6 toward the inner end of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2. In the structure of the elastic support 4, by utilizing the elasticity of the thrust spring 402 and the sliding engagement of the guide rod 401 on the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2, the inner traveling wheel 5 and the traveling assembly 6 can be pushed to slide toward the inner end of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2, ensuring the control of the traveling assembly 6 on the travel and the smooth movement of the traveling wheel 5, thereby enabling the auxiliary device to move smoothly.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the inner side of the first bracket 1 or the second bracket 2 is provided with a limiting groove 3 corresponding to the guide rod 401, and the thrust spring 402 is located inside the limiting groove 3. The limiting groove 3 can limit the thrust spring 402. Furthermore, the guide rod 401 has a square cross-section, and the guide rod 401 is clearance-fitted with the side wall of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2. This arrangement can prevent the guide rod 401 from rotating, thereby improving the traveling stability of the traveling wheel 5 and the traveling assembly 6.
[0032] In addition, the traveling component 6 includes a motor 601 connected to the inner end of the guide rod 401. The output end of the motor 601 is connected to a rotating wheel 602. The motor 601 is electrically connected to the wireless communication controller 7. When controlling the movement of the device, the motor 601 can drive the rotating wheel 602 to rotate. Utilizing the elasticity of the elastic support 4, the traveling component 6 can be pushed towards the pipe. After the rotating wheel 602 contacts the outer wall of the pipe, it can drive the device to move.
[0033] The third embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that:
[0034] It also includes a charging module 9, which is electrically connected to the battery. Furthermore, the charging module 9 is a wireless charging board or a charging board with a charging socket. The charging module assists the battery in the device to perform charging operations. The wireless charging board can assist the device in performing wireless charging. The charging board with the charging socket can be used to connect electrical connection lines, thereby realizing the charging operation of the battery.
[0035] The fourth embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that:
[0036] It also includes a support plate 10 for fixing the ultrasonic probe 801. A support spring 1002 is provided on the side of the support plate 10 away from the ultrasonic probe 801. The support plate 10 is provided with fixing bolts 1001 for connecting the support plate 10 and the first bracket 1 or the second bracket 2. After loosening the fixing bolts 1001, the elasticity of the support spring 1002 can push the support plate 10 away from the first bracket 1 or the second bracket 2, thereby adjusting the position of the ultrasonic probe 801, so that the ultrasonic probe 801 in the device is closer to the pipe, improving the detection effect of the ultrasonic probe 801.
[0037] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
