[0001] This utility model relates to the field of composite gas cylinders, and in particular to a microwave detection device for defects in composite gas cylinders with a rotating mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Composite material gas cylinders are containers made of composite materials for storing high-pressure gases. They are usually made using fiber winding technology and have the characteristics of corrosion resistance, lightweight, and high strength. They are widely used in industrial production and fire safety fields.
[0003] Microwave inspection devices are required for detecting defects in composite gas cylinders. However, current microwave inspection devices are difficult to use for microwave inspection of rotating composite gas cylinders, requiring operators to frequently handle the cylinders, which reduces the efficiency of microwave inspection. To address this issue, we propose a microwave inspection device for composite gas cylinder defects with a rotating mechanism. Utility Model Content

Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0021] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model discloses a microwave detection device for defects in composite gas cylinders with a rotating mechanism, comprising a platform 1, a vertical plate 2 mounted on the upper surface of the platform 1, a microwave transmitter 3 mounted on the upper surface of the platform 1, an electric push rod 4 mounted on the front of the vertical plate 2, a movable plate 5 mounted on the telescopic end of the electric push rod 4, a microwave transmitting antenna 6 mounted on the bottom surface of the movable plate 5, a microwave receiving antenna 7 mounted on the front of the vertical plate 2, a microwave receiver 8 mounted on the front of the vertical plate 2, a reduction motor 9 mounted on the bottom surface of the platform 1, a main gear 10 mounted on the output end of the reduction motor 9, a bearing ring 11 embedded in the upper surface of the platform 1, a rotating rod 12 connected to the inner ring of the bearing ring 11, and a driven gear 13 mounted on the bottom end of the rotating rod 12. The slave gear 13 meshes with the main gear 10. A fixing component 14 is provided above the platform 1. With the microwave transmitter 3, microwave transmitting antenna 6, microwave receiving antenna 7 and microwave receiver 8, microwave testing of composite material gas cylinders can be performed. Using the fixing component 14, the main gear 10 is rotated by the reduction motor 9, which in turn drives the slave gear 13, rotating rod 12 and turntable 1401 to rotate. This allows four composite material gas cylinders to be fixed in sequence and rotated sequentially to be transported to the area below the microwave transmitting antenna 6 for microwave testing. This eliminates the need for operators to frequently pick up and drop the composite material gas cylinders, improving the efficiency of microwave testing.
[0023] The fixing component 14 includes a turntable 1401, the bottom surface of which is mounted on the top of the rotating rod 12. The upper surface of the turntable 1401 has four circular openings 1402. Each of the four circular openings 1402 has two arc-shaped plates 1404 inside. The inner walls of the four circular openings 1402 are connected to six springs 1403. The end of each spring 1403 that is close to each other is connected to the side of the six arc-shaped plates 1404 that is far away from each other. By using the fixing component 14, the composite material gas cylinder can be picked up and placed between the arc-shaped plates 1404. The springs 1403 drive the arc-shaped plates 1404 to contract and rebound, thereby clamping and fixing the composite material gas cylinder.
[0024] A protective shell 17 is installed on the bottom surface of the platform 1, and a protective net 18 is embedded in the bottom surface of the protective shell 17. A PLC controller 15 is installed on the bottom surface of the platform 1, and two sets of support legs 16 are connected to the bottom surface of the platform 1. A reinforcing plate 19 is installed on the upper surface of the platform 1, and the back of the reinforcing plate 19 is installed on the front of the upright plate 2. Through the setting of the protective shell 17 and the protective net 18, the internal components of the protective shell 17 can be protected, ventilated, and dustproofed. The device can be controlled by the PLC controller 15. The device can be supported by the two sets of support legs 16. The upright plate 2 can be reinforced by the reinforcing plate 19 to make it more stable.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0026] First, connect the device to a power source, and then sequentially place the composite material gas cylinders between the arc-shaped plates 1404. The spring 1403 causes the arc-shaped plates 1404 to contract and rebound, clamping and fixing the four composite material gas cylinders in sequence. Next, activate the microwave transmitter 3 to generate a microwave signal, providing a signal source for detection. Then, activate the electric push rod 4 to move the moving plate 5 and microwave transmitting antenna 6 downwards, extending the microwave transmitting antenna 6 through the nozzle of the composite material gas cylinder into the cylinder, simultaneously transmitting a microwave signal into the cylinder. The microwave receiving antenna 7 receives the microwave signal transmitted through the composite material gas cylinder, and the microwave receiver 8 receives the received microwave signal. Simultaneously, the signal is transmitted to the PLC controller 15 for analysis and processing. When the composite material gas cylinders are being rotated for detection, the microwave transmitting antenna 6 is reset, and the reduction motor 9 is activated to rotate the main gear 10, which in turn rotates the driven gear 13, rotating rod 12, and turntable 1401, rotating the next composite material gas cylinder below the microwave transmitting antenna 6. This completes the rotational transport detection of the composite material gas cylinders.
[0027] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
[0028] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
