Specific implementation
[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantage of the embodiment of the present disclosure more clear, the embodiment of the present disclosure is more clearly and detailedly described below in combination with the drawings of the embodiment. Note: the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the present disclosure, not all the embodiment. All other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art on the basis of the described embodiment of the present disclosure without the premise of creative labor all belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0025] As the drawing Figure 1 To the drawing Figure 6As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides the high accuracy coating thickness gauge based on phase sensitive eddy current principle, and the phase sensitive eddy current principle is based on electromagnetic induction phenomenon, and its core lies in distinguishing electromagnetic response of different materials by using phase analysis technology, and realizes accurate measurement of coating thickness. When thickness is measured, the thickness gauge probe generates high-frequency alternating electromagnetic field, when contacting the measured object (such as the coating on the surface of metal matrix), electromagnetic field can induce eddy current in the metal matrix; the size and phase of eddy current are closely related to the conductivity, magnetic permeability of metal matrix and coating thickness; the instrument analyzes the phase change of eddy current signal through high-precision phase detection circuit, combines calibration parameters (such as matrix material properties, coating type), and reverses the coating thickness through algorithm. The thickness gauge currently includes detection main body 1 and detection probe 3, and the detection main body 1 is connected with the detection probe 3 through the connecting line 2, and the detection data is transmitted to the detection main body 1 through the detection probe 3, and the coating thickness is displayed on the display screen after the data is processed and analyzed by the detection main body 1. In order to facilitate the stable thickness detection of the thickness gauge, the support cover 4 can be sleeved on the connecting line 2 outside the detection probe 3, the external part of the detection probe 3 is protected, then the partition plate 5 is arranged between the support cover 4 and the detection probe 3, the support cover 4 is divided into two spaces, the fitting sleeve 15 is arranged outside the support cover 4, the inner side of the fitting sleeve 15 is connected with the outer surface of the detection probe 3, then a plurality of support adjusting parts 6 are arranged between the fitting sleeve 15 and the partition plate 5, the support structure between the fitting sleeve 15 and the partition plate 5 is increased, the detection probe 3 is protected by shock absorption, the detection of the pressure bearing of the detection probe 3 by the plurality of support adjusting parts 6 can judge the flatness of the detected surface, the detection probe 3 is adjusted to the flat detection surface for detection, and the accuracy of the detection data is increased.
[0026] Wherein, it is worth mentioning that, as Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the support adjusting part 6 can include the base 7 (as the limiting end) arranged on the partition plate 5, then the support spring 8 is arranged at the end of the base 7, the top of the support spring 8 is provided with the pad 9 and abuts against the fitting sleeve 15. The support adjusting part 6 is vertically arranged between the partition plate 5 and the fitting sleeve 15, and provides support for the vertical abutment between the detection probe 3 and the detection coating; then, in order to stabilize the expansion of the support spring 8, the limiting rod 10 can be slid between the pad 9 and the base 7, one end of the limiting rod 10 is fixedly connected with the pad 9, the other end of the limiting rod 10 penetrates the partition plate 5, when the support adjusting part 6 assists the probe, the support spring 8 is compressed under stress, and can drive the limiting rod 10 to penetrate the base 7, so that the support cover 4 is prevented from shaking due to the deformation of the fitting sleeve 15, and the periphery of the detection probe 3 is stably supported.
[0027] Further, as Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, openings 12 can be made on both the base 7 and the partition 5 to facilitate the passage of the limiting rod 10 through the base 7 and the partition 5, allowing the limiting rod 10 to slide. Then, a reference plate 11 is set at the lower end of the limiting rod 10. When the limiting rod 10 is not under force, the reference plate 11 is in contact with the partition 5. A distance sensor 13 is then set on the reference plate 11. Using existing sensor distance detection technology, the distance sensor 13 can detect the distance between the reference plate 11 and the partition 5, thus detecting the sliding distance of the limiting rod 10. By using the distance sensors 13 in multiple support adjustment components 6 simultaneously, the force conditions of the detection probe 3 and the detection surface in different ranges can be obtained. When the detection data of one support adjustment component 6 is abnormal, it indicates that the detection surface where the detection probe 3 is located is not flat. The detection surface of the detection probe 3 can be replaced, which facilitates the stable detection of the detection probe 3 and the detection surface and makes it easy to adjust the position of the detection probe 3 and the detection coating.
[0028] Secondly, in some embodiments, in order to increase the support stability of the support adjustment member 6 on the detection probe 3, an elastic pad 14 can be provided on the pad plate 9, and the base 7 can be made of elastic materials such as rubber. Through the expansion and contraction deformation of the support spring 8 and the buffering effect of the elastic pad 14, the compressive impact force on the fitting sleeve 15 is weakened, ensuring the smooth compression of the fitting sleeve 15 and improving the support stability of the support spring 8 on the fitting sleeve 15.
[0029] And, as Figure 4 As shown, to ensure efficient protection of the detection probe 3 by the fitting sleeve 15, the detection probe 3 can be positioned in the middle of the fitting sleeve 15, and the height of the fitting sleeve 15 can be set higher than the height of the detection probe 3. This facilitates the fitting sleeve 15 to preferentially adhere to the detection surface when the thickness of the detection probe 3 is being measured, thus assisting the detection probe 3 in being stably attached to the detection surface for measurement. Subsequently, multiple support adjustment components 6 are arranged in a ring on the partition plate 5, allowing multiple support adjustment components 6 to simultaneously support the area around the detection probe 3. The frosted layer 16 on the surface of the fitting sleeve 15 increases the roughness of the outer surface of the fitting sleeve 15, increasing the adhesion stability between the fitting sleeve 15 and the detection surface, preventing the detection probe 3 from loosening and causing errors in the detection data, and improving the accuracy of the detection data.
[0030] To facilitate the rapid placement of the detection probe 3 on the flat coating for detection, such as Figure 3 and 4As shown, in some embodiments, the support cover 4 can be expanded outwardly near one end of the detection probe 3, and set as a larger size bucket-shaped structure, increasing the contact area of the fitting sleeve 15 with the detection surface, and then setting a plurality of indicator lights 17 on the outside of the narrow end of the support cover 4, the number of the plurality of indicator lights 17 being the same as the number of the support adjusting members 6, and then connecting each indicator light 17 with the detection main body 1, when the ranging sensor 13 in the support adjusting member 6 is used, the plurality of ranging sensors 13 can respectively detect the pressed distance in different directions of the detection probe 3, when the detection data of the ranging sensor 13 is abnormal, the corresponding indicator light 17 can be triggered to light up, indicating that the detection surface is concave or convex at this position, directly showing the state of the detection surface, and providing convenience for the detection of the detection probe 3 and the flat coating.
[0031] Finally, in order to facilitate the long-time use of the detection probe 3, such as Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a limiting groove 20 for clamping the support cover 4 can be formed on the detection main body 1, and then a clamping block 19 can be arranged on the inner circumferential side of the limiting groove 20, so that the support cover can be clamped in the limiting groove 20 for fixation, and the detection probe 3 can be protected, thereby prolonging the service life.
[0032] Of course, the above is the preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements are also considered to be within the protection scope of the present application.
