[0010] The upper top plate is connected to the base by bolts, and the upper top plate is threadedly engaged with a fixing nut. The upper top plate is provided with a second threaded hole that engages with the fixing nut.

[0011] The fixing nut is provided with a limiting protrusion that contacts the surface of the upper top plate.

[0012] The base is provided with a guide cylinder, which is connected to the lower groove.

[0013] The base is provided with a lower top plate, which is snapped into the guide cylinder and connected to the base by bolts.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] The ultrasonic probes at different positions on the base are fixed by the fixing components, which makes it easy to fix the ultrasonic probes that extend from the base, ensuring that the probes maintain a constant distance from the wheel surface, thereby achieving stable detection, improving the detection accuracy and efficiency of ultrasonic probes, and being able to adapt to wheels of different sizes and shapes to achieve stable automated detection.

[0016] The ultrasonic probe is placed in the through hole, and the locking nut is adjusted to abut against the ultrasonic probe, thereby fixing the ultrasonic probe. The ultrasonic probe is fixed in a convenient and quick manner. The ultrasonic probe is protected in the through hole by the probe sleeve set on the base, and the probe sleeve is fixed by the fixing nut on the top plate, thereby ensuring that the probe sleeve is fixed on the base. The guide tube and the lower groove allow the wire harness to pass through and connect with the ultrasonic probe fixed on the base. Attached Figure Description
