AI Technical Summary
Existing eddy current testing equipment requires operators to manually hold the probe and walk around the tube when testing circular tubes. This is technically difficult, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Furthermore, human factors can easily lead to uncertainties in the test results, especially when dealing with a large number of or large-sized circular tubes.
An eddy current testing mechanism was designed, including a processing table, a testing instrument, a probe, a motor, a rotating base, a screw, and a threaded tube. The motor drives the rotation and movement of the screw and the threaded tube to achieve automatic circumferential and all-around testing of the probe, adapting to round tubes of different diameters.
It enables automated, all-around inspection of round tubes, improving inspection accuracy and efficiency, reducing operational difficulty and cost, and minimizing fluctuations in inspection results caused by human factors.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of eddy current testing, and particularly relates to an eddy current testing matching mechanism. BACKGROUND
[0002] Eddy current testing refers to a non-destructive testing method for evaluating certain properties of conductive materials and workpieces or finding defects by measuring the change of induced eddy current in the workpiece. Eddy current testing is based on electromagnetic induction principle. When a conductor is placed in an alternating magnetic field, induced current exists in the conductor, that is, eddy current is generated. The distribution and current size of the eddy current are determined by the shape and size of the coil, test frequency, electrical conductivity, magnetic permeability, shape and size of the conductor, distance between the conductor and the coil, and defects on the surface of the conductor. Changes in various factors of the conductor itself (such as electrical conductivity, magnetic permeability, shape, size and defects) will lead to changes in the eddy current. The testing method for determining the properties and state of the conductor by using this phenomenon is called eddy current testing.
[0003] During the eddy current testing process, alternating current passes through the coil and generates an oscillating magnetic field. If the probe and its magnetic field are close to conductive materials (such as metal test workpieces), the circulating electron current (called eddy current) begins to flow through the metal like a whirlpool in a stream. The eddy current flowing through the metal in turn generates its own magnetic field, which interacts with the coil and its magnetic field through mutual inductance. Changes in the thickness or defects of the metal (such as near-surface cracks) will break or change the amplitude and mode of the eddy current and the generated magnetic field. This in turn affects the movement of electrons in the coil by changing the electrical impedance of the coil. The eddy current instrument plots the changes in impedance amplitude and phase angle, and a well-trained operator can use it to identify changes in the test workpiece.
[0004] The matching structure of eddy current testing includes the main components of the eddy current testing system, supporting equipment and supporting services. These components and equipment together form the basic framework of the eddy current testing system, and the supporting services provide more comprehensive and professional support for customers.
