[0038] The clamping unit 400 is arranged on the support table 101, and the clamping unit 400 is used to clamp and fix the pipeline.

[0039] The pipeline is clamped and fixed by the clamping unit 400, then the adjusting unit 200 is used to adapt the detection unit 300 to pipelines of different diameters, and then the rotating assembly 103 drives the adjusting unit 200 and the detection unit 300 to rotate, so that the detection unit 300 performs gap nondestructive testing on the outside and inside of the pipeline.

[0040] Embodiment 2

[0041] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2For the second embodiment of the utility model, different from the last embodiment, the rotating assembly 103 includes a motor base 1031 fixedly connected on one side of the support plate 102, and a servo motor 1032 fixedly installed on the inner side of the motor base 1031.

[0042] The motor base 1031 is used for supporting the servo motor 1032, and the servo motor 1032 is used for driving the adjusting unit 200 to rotate.

[0043] Further, the adjusting unit 200 includes a door-shaped plate 201 fixedly connected on the output end of the servo motor 1032, and two T-shaped blocks 202 slidingly arranged on one side of the door-shaped plate 201; both sides of the door-shaped plate 201 are threadedly connected with threaded rods 203 penetrating through the door-shaped plate 201, and the opposite ends of the two threaded rods 203 are respectively rotationally connected with the corresponding T-shaped blocks 202.

[0044] The servo motor 1032 can drive the door-shaped plate 201 to rotate, and the inner side of the door-shaped plate 201 is provided with a sliding groove matching the T-shaped block 202; the T-shaped block 202 can slide in the sliding groove by rotating the threaded rod 203, so as to adjust the detection unit 300 by using the two T-shaped blocks 202, so as to adapt to pipes with different diameters.

[0045] Embodiment 3

[0046] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 For the third embodiment of the utility model, different from the last embodiment, the detection unit 300 includes two electric telescopic rods 301 fixedly connected on the two T-shaped blocks 202 respectively, and the output ends of the two electric telescopic rods 301 are fixedly connected with ultrasonic probes 302.

[0047] The T-shaped blocks 202 slide in the door-shaped plate 201 by rotating the two threaded rods 203, and the two electric telescopic rods 301 can be driven to move by using the T-shaped blocks 202; by adjusting the distance between the two ultrasonic probes 302, the pipes with different diameters and inner diameters can be adapted; the two ultrasonic probes 302 detect the outside and the inside of the pipe respectively; the ultrasonic probe 302 is a device for emitting and receiving ultrasonic waves in the ultrasonic detection process; the internal information of the measured object is obtained by processing these signals, so as to achieve the effect of nondestructive testing with the gap; the ultrasonic probe 302 is used in cooperation with the ultrasonic flaw detector through external lead lines; when the gap outside the pipe is detected, one of the ultrasonic probes 302 is moved to the gap outside the pipe by the electric telescopic rod 301.

[0048] Subsequently, the servo motor 1032 drives the door-shaped plate 201 to rotate, so that the ultrasonic probe 302 detects the gap around the pipe. When detecting the gap inside the pipe, the other ultrasonic probe 302 is moved to the gap inside the pipe by the other electric telescopic rod 301. Then, the ultrasonic probe 302 outside the pipe is moved away from the pipe by the electric telescopic rod 301, so as to avoid that the ultrasonic probe 302 inside the pipe detects the ultrasonic probe 302 outside the pipe, thereby affecting the detection result. When the ultrasonic probe 302 outside the pipe is moved away from the gap, the servo motor 1032 drives the door-shaped plate 201 to rotate, so that the ultrasonic probe 302 inside the pipe detects the gap around the pipe. Thus, double detection can be realized, so as to avoid worker operation and improve the accuracy of the detection result.

[0049] Further, the output shafts at the ends of the two electric telescopic rods 301 are fixedly sleeved with bearings 303, the outer walls of the two bearings 303 are fixedly sleeved with rubber rings 304, the output shafts at the ends of the two electric telescopic rods 301 are fixedly connected with rubber rods 305, and one end of each of the two rubber rods 305 is fixedly connected with a sponge rod 306.

[0050] When the positions of the two ultrasonic probes 302 are adjusted to be close to the gaps outside and inside the pipe respectively, the rubber rings 304 of the two bearings 303 can be in contact with the outer wall and the inner wall of the pipe respectively. During the rotation of the door-shaped plate 201, the rubber rings 304 rotate on the bearings 303 through friction. The bearings 303 can keep the electric telescopic rods 301 stable during rotation, so that the ultrasonic probes 302 can stably rotate around the gap of the pipe, thereby improving the stability of detection. During the rotation of the door-shaped plate 201, the sponge rods 306 can clean the gaps outside and inside the pipe, so as to reduce dust in the gaps, thereby improving the accuracy of detection. The rubber rods 305 are flexible rubber, which can bend to adapt to pipes with different diameters.

[0051] Embodiment 4

[0053] When the pipe is placed between the two clamping plates 403, the two electric push rods 402 move the two clamping plates 403 towards each other to clamp and fix the pipe, the rubber strips 404 can increase the friction between the clamping plates 403 and the pipe to ensure that the pipe can be clamped by the clamping plates 403, and the rubber strips 404 can also avoid the clamping plates 403 directly contacting the pipe to cause indentation, and when the rubber strips 404 are squeezed, a gap is left between the adjacent two rubber strips 404 for deformation of the rubber strips 404.

[0054] In use, the pipe is placed between the two clamping plates 403, then the two electric push rods 402 push the two clamping plates 403 towards each other to clamp and fix the pipe, and then the two threaded rods 203 are rotated to adjust the positions of the two T-shaped blocks 202, so that the two ultrasonic probes 302 are aligned with the gap at the outside and inside of the pipe respectively, when the gap at the outside of the pipe is detected, one of the ultrasonic probes 302 is moved to the gap at the outside of the pipe by the electric telescopic rod 301, then the door-shaped plate 201 is rotated by the servo motor 1032, and the sponge rod 306 can clean the gap at the outside of the pipe, so that the ultrasonic probe 302 at the outside of the pipe detects the gap around the pipe;

[0055] When the gap at the inside of the pipe is detected, the other electric telescopic rod 301 moves the other ultrasonic probe 302 to the gap at the inside of the pipe, then the ultrasonic probe 302 at the outside of the pipe is moved away from the pipe by the electric telescopic rod 301, then the door-shaped plate 201 is rotated by the servo motor 1032, so that the ultrasonic probe 302 at the inside of the pipe detects the gap at the inside of the pipe around the pipe, after detection, the servo motor 1032 stops rotating, then the two electric telescopic rods 301 move the ultrasonic probes 302 towards the door-shaped plate 201 and away from the pipe, then the two clamping plates 403 are moved away from each other by the two electric push rods 402, and then the pipe can be removed from the clamping plates 403.

[0056] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, not to limit it, although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced equivalently without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application, and all should be covered in the scope of the claims of the present application.
