Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of weld inspection technology, and in particular relates to a magnetic particle inspection device for pressure vessel welds that can reduce errors. Background Technology

[0002] The workpiece is magnetized by applying an appropriate magnetizing force, and ferromagnetic powder (in dry powder or suspension form) is applied to specific areas of the workpiece surface. Due to the discontinuity of the material, the magnetic field will be distorted, resulting in partial magnetic flux leakage. These leaking magnetic fields will attract magnetic powder, thus forming magnetic powder deposits (magnetic traces) on the workpiece surface. Under appropriate lighting conditions, these magnetic traces will clearly show the location and shape of defects, allowing inspectors to analyze and compare them according to material acceptance standards.

[0003] However, existing magnetic particle inspection devices for pressure vessel welds suffer from errors due to deviations caused by manual control of the device's movement, resulting in misaligned magnetic particle spillage. Furthermore, switching between two sets of magnetization structures eliminates the need for device rotation control, allowing for complete weld magnetization. Therefore, we provide a magnetic particle inspection device for pressure vessel welds that reduces errors and addresses the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a magnetic particle inspection device for pressure vessel welds that can reduce errors. By using a slide rail and a bonding nozzle in combination, the movement direction of the inspection box is limited, ensuring that the magnetic powder is stably sprinkled onto the weld and reducing the occurrence of errors.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This utility model is a magnetic particle inspection device for pressure vessel welds that can reduce errors. By using the slide rail 2 and the adhesive nozzle 201 together, the movement direction of the inspection box 1 is limited, ensuring that the magnetic powder is stably sprinkled on the weld and reducing the occurrence of errors.

[0027] Specifically, the test box 1 has an installation port 102 on its upper surface, and a powder storage tank 3 is fixed inside the installation port 102. A base plate 101 is fixed at the bottom of the test box 1. Two symmetrically arranged slide rails 2 are provided on the lower surface of the base plate 101. Multiple adhesive nozzles 201 are evenly distributed radially along the lower surface of the slide rails 2. U-shaped openings 103 are provided inside the test box 1 on both sides of the installation port 102. U-shaped electromagnets 104 are fixed inside the U-shaped openings 103. The two ends of the two sets of U-shaped electromagnets 104 pass through the test box 1 and the base plate 101, and the lower surface of the U-shaped electromagnets 104 is higher than the bottom surface of the slide rails 2. A latch 106 is provided on the lower surface of the base plate 101 at the position corresponding to the slide rails 2. The base plate 101 is used in conjunction with the slide rails 2 through the latch 106.

[0028] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: Using the above-described structure, when inspecting the weld seam on the surface of the pressure vessel, the vessel weld seam is placed horizontally upwards. The inspection box 1 is then placed horizontally above the weld seam, with the slide rail 2 positioned on both sides of the weld seam. The weld seam will then be located between the two ends of the U-shaped electromagnet 104. Therefore, firstly, one U-shaped electromagnet 104 is energized, while the other set of U-shaped electromagnets 104 is de-energized. The inspection box 1 is then operated to slide along the path of the slide rail 2, and the powder storage tank 3 is opened. The energized U-shaped electromagnet 104 then magnetizes the weld seam. Therefore, the magnetic powder falling from the powder storage tank 3 will fall along the path to the weld position, and the magnetized magnetic powder will be attracted to the weld. According to the trace path of the magnetic powder on the weld, the fracture position and shape of the weld can be determined. At the same time, in order to ensure the accuracy of the movement of the detection box 1, the slide rail 2 is connected to the surface wall of the container. By squeezing the adhesive nozzle 201, the adhesive nozzle 201 is attracted to the surface wall of the container due to negative pressure. This can provide a certain positioning for the slide rail 2, thereby controlling the movement of the detection box 1. After the detection box 1 moves with the slide rail 2, the movement of the detection box 1 can be ensured to be accurate, thus ensuring that the magnetic powder is stably sprinkled on the weld.

[0029] By switching between two sets of U-shaped electromagnets 104, the detection box 1 can be controlled to move left and right without having to reverse the entire device.

[0030] Example 2, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 Based on Example 1, the rotation of the through ball block 305 driven by the rotating block 306 facilitates the continuous discharge of magnetic powder.

[0031] Specifically, the bottom of the powder storage tank 3 is fixed with a discharge pipe 303 that passes through the detection box 1 and the bottom plate 101. The middle of the discharge pipe 303 is fixed with a ball tube 304 located inside the installation port 102. A through ball block 305 is rotatably arranged inside the ball tube 304. A rotating block 306 is fixed at the end of the shaft that rotates through the surface of the through ball block 305 and passes through the ball tube 304 and the surface of the detection box 1.

[0032] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: When the ball tube 304 is opened, the rotating block 306 can be directly controlled to rotate, so that the rotating block 306 drives the penetrating ball block 305 to rotate and move in the ball tube 304 through the shaft. This allows the penetrating ball block 305 to open the ball tube 304 so that the magnetic powder falls from the position of the ball tube 304 and the discharge pipe 303 in the powder storage tank 3.

[0033] Example 3, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 Based on Example 1, the use of cover plate 301 facilitates the addition of magnetic powder.

[0034] Specifically, a cover plate 301 is provided inside the mounting port 102 at the upper end of the powder storage tank 3. The protrusion at the lower end of the cover plate 301 is inserted into the upper port of the powder storage tank 3. Two positioning blocks 302 are fixed on the peripheral wall of the cover plate 301 and are evenly distributed along the periphery. A notch 105 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting port 102 at the position corresponding to the positioning block 302. The positioning blocks 302 are respectively inserted into the corresponding notches 105.

[0035] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: When adding magnetic powder to the inside of the powder storage tank 3, the cover plate 301 is removed from the port position of the powder storage tank 3 to open the port of the powder storage tank 3, so that the magnetic powder can be poured into the powder storage tank 3. When sealing the powder storage tank 3, the position of the positioning block 302 on the surface of the cover plate 301 corresponding to the recess 105 is controlled so that the cover plate 301 is inserted into the port position of the powder storage tank 3, and the positioning block 302 is in the recess 105, so that the cover plate 301 is prevented from shifting in position in the powder storage tank 3.
