Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of CT inspection technology, specifically to tooling for industrial CT inspection. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial CT inspection is an advanced non-destructive testing technology that uses X-rays to perform tomographic scanning of objects and reconstructs three-dimensional images of the objects using computers, thereby clearly displaying the internal structure and defects of the objects.

[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with Chinese patent publication number CN214539332U, which discloses a tooling for industrial CT inspection, including a turntable, two columns facing each other on the turntable, and a support block fixedly mounted on each column. The two support blocks are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the turntable. Each of the two support blocks has a positioning groove vertically opened on its inner side. The bottom of each positioning groove is inclined and extends through the upper and lower ends of the support block. The two positioning grooves form a V-shaped support structure with the opening facing upward.

[0004] When the above-mentioned device finishes its work, it needs to be removed from inside the CT machine, the original workpiece needs to be removed, and then it needs to be reinstalled before it can continue to work. This process takes a long time and is not conducive to improving detection efficiency, so there is room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tooling for industrial CT inspection to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tooling for industrial CT inspection, including a protective cover, a holding assembly installed inside the protective cover, the holding assembly including a motor fixedly installed on the inner wall of one side of the protective cover, a horizontally arranged flip plate coaxially fixed to the output end of the motor, a shielding assembly installed outside the protective cover, the shielding assembly including a limiting groove opened at the top of the protective cover, the limiting groove being vertically arranged, an electric telescopic rod fixedly installed on each of the outer walls of both sides of the protective cover, the output ends of the two electric telescopic rods being fixedly connected to the same connecting frame, a baffle fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the connecting frame, the baffle being slidably inserted into the limiting groove.

[0007] New materials can be installed during inspection, effectively avoiding idle time and waste, and thus significantly improving overall work efficiency. Since one fixing component is inside the protective cover while the other is outside, new workpieces can be installed inside the external fixing component while inspecting workpieces inside the protective cover. After the work is completed, the motor inside the protective cover is started, and the flip plate is rotated half a turn. The new workpiece will directly replace the position of the workpiece that was inspected, without the need to disassemble the old workpiece and install the new workpiece. Controlling the two electric telescopic rods outside the protective cover starts the connecting frame, which is moved down and the baffle blocks the opening of the protective cover, preventing the CT machine's radiation from affecting the staff.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a horizontally arranged extension plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the protective cover. A positioning rod is slidably inserted inside the extension plate. One end of the positioning rod is hemispherical. A spring is sleeved on the outside of the positioning rod. The two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the extension plate and the end of the positioning rod, respectively. Two locking holes adapted to the positioning rod are opened inside the flip plate.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, two fixing components are installed on the top of the flip plate, one of which is located inside the protective cover.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the fixing component includes two sliding grooves opened inside the flip plate, and a bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected inside the flip plate. The threaded portions at both ends of the bidirectional lead screw extend into the two sliding grooves respectively. A clamping post is threadedly fitted at the threaded portions at both ends of the bidirectional lead screw. The two clamping posts are slidably inserted into the two sliding grooves respectively. A receiving frame is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the flip plate. The receiving frame is located between the two clamping posts. The top outer wall of the receiving frame and the outer wall of the side of the two clamping posts that are close to each other are both provided with stepped grooves.

[0011] Place the workpiece inside the receiving frame, and drive the bidirectional lead screw to rotate by the knob. The clamping column, which is slidably connected inside the slide groove, cannot rotate. The clamping column will be driven to move closer to each other by the bidirectional lead screw, and the workpiece can be clamped by the two clamping columns. Furthermore, under the action of the stepped groove, the fixing component can fix workpieces of different thicknesses.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, each of the two-way lead screws, located at opposite ends, is coaxially fixed with a driven ring, and a contact strip adapted to the driven ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the protective cover.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, both the receiving frame and the two clamping posts are made of plastic material.

[0014] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, both the protective cover and the baffle are made of lead plate.

[0015] This utility model provides a tooling for industrial CT inspection, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] (1) By setting up a holding component and a shielding component, this utility model can install new materials during the inspection work, effectively avoiding idle time and waste, and thus significantly improving the overall work efficiency. Since one of the fixing components is in the inner space of the protective cover, the other fixing component will be in the outer space. Therefore, during the inspection of the workpiece inside the protective cover, the new workpiece can be installed in the outer fixing component. After the work is completed, the motor inside the protective cover is started, and the flip plate is driven to flip half a turn. The new workpiece will directly replace the position of the workpiece that has been inspected. There is no need to go through the process of disassembling the old workpiece and installing the new workpiece. The two electric telescopic rods outside the protective cover are started, and the connecting frame is driven to move down. The baffle blocks the opening of the protective cover, which can prevent the radiation of the CT machine from affecting the staff.

[0017] (2) By setting a fixing component, the workpiece is placed inside the receiving frame. The double screw is driven to rotate by the knob. The clamping column that is slidably connected inside the groove cannot rotate. The clamping column is driven to move closer to each other by the double screw, and the workpiece can be clamped by the two clamping columns. Furthermore, under the action of the stepped groove, the fixing component can fix workpieces of different thicknesses. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the industrial CT inspection fixture includes a protective cover 1. A holding component 5 is installed inside the protective cover 1. The holding component 5 includes a motor 501 fixedly installed on the inner wall of one side of the protective cover 1. A horizontally arranged flip plate 502 is coaxially fixed to the output end of the motor 501. A shielding component 6 is installed on the outside of the protective cover 1. The shielding component 6 includes a limiting groove opened at the top of the protective cover 1, and the limiting groove is vertically arranged. An electric telescopic rod 601 is fixedly installed on both outer walls of the protective cover 1. The output ends of the two electric telescopic rods 601 are fixedly connected to the same connecting frame 602. A baffle 603 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the connecting frame 602. The baffle 603 is slidably inserted into the limiting groove.

[0025] Since one fixing component 4 is inside the protective cover 1, the other fixing component 4 will be outside the protective cover 1. Therefore, during the inspection of the workpiece inside the protective cover 1, a new workpiece can be installed inside the fixing component 4 outside the protective cover 1. After the work is completed, the motor 501 inside the protective cover 1 is started, and the flip plate 502 is driven to flip half a turn. The new workpiece will directly replace the position of the workpiece that has been inspected, without the need to disassemble the old workpiece and install the new workpiece. The two electric telescopic rods 601 outside the protective cover 1 are started, and the connecting frame 602 is driven to move down. The baffle 603 blocks the opening of the protective cover 1, which can prevent the radiation of the CT machine from affecting the staff.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a horizontally arranged extension plate 503 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the protective cover 1. A positioning rod 504 is slidably inserted inside the extension plate 503. One end of the positioning rod 504 is hemispherical. A spring 505 is sleeved on the outside of the positioning rod 504. The two ends of the spring 505 are fixedly connected to the ends of the extension plate 503 and the positioning rod 504, respectively. Two locking holes 506 adapted to the positioning rod 504 are opened inside the flip plate 502.

[0027] When the positioning rod 504 approaches the locking hole 506, the positioning rod 504 is squeezed and moves downward, and the spring 505 is also stretched. When the flip plate 502 flips to half a turn, the positioning rod 504 is facing the locking hole 506. The stretched spring 505 will then drive the positioning rod 504 into the locking hole 506. The accuracy of the adjustment can be clearly determined by sound.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, two fixing components 4 are installed on the top of the flip plate 502, one of which is inside the protective cover 1.

[0029] The fixing component 4 includes two sliding grooves 401 inside the flip plate 502. A bidirectional lead screw 402 is rotatably connected inside the flip plate 502. The threaded portions at both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 402 extend into the two sliding grooves 401 respectively. A clamping post 403 is threadedly fitted at the threaded portions at both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 402. The two clamping posts 403 are slidably inserted into the two sliding grooves 401 respectively. A receiving frame 404 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the flip plate 502. The receiving frame 404 is located between the two clamping posts 403. A stepped groove 405 is provided on the top outer wall of the receiving frame 404 and on the outer wall of the side of the two clamping posts 403 that are close to each other.

[0030] The workpiece is placed inside the receiving frame 404. The double-acting screw 402 is rotated by the knob. The clamping column 403, which is slidably connected inside the slide groove 401, cannot rotate. The clamping columns 403 are driven to move closer to each other by the double-acting screw 402. The workpiece can be clamped by the two clamping columns 403. Under the action of the stepped groove 405, the fixing component 4 can fix workpieces of different thicknesses.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, each of the two-way lead screws 402 has a driven ring 3 fixed coaxially at one of its far ends. The outer wall of one end of the protective cover 1 is fixedly connected to a contact strip 2 that is compatible with the driven ring 3. A rubber sleeve is provided on the outside of the contact strip 2. When the driven ring 3 moves outward, it will contact the contact strip 2. Under the action of friction, the driven ring 3 is driven to rotate, which can eliminate the need for the process of loosening the restriction.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the receiving frame 404 and the two clamping posts 403 are all made of plastic material. Plastic has a low density and a weak absorption and scattering effect on X-rays, which can avoid affecting the imaging of the CT machine.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, both the protective cover 1 and the baffle 603 are made of lead plate. Lead is a high atomic number element with a strong ability to absorb X-rays. When X-rays pass through lead material, most of the rays will be absorbed or scattered by lead atoms, thereby reducing the radiation dose to the surrounding environment and personnel.

[0034] This utility model provides a tooling for industrial CT inspection, and its specific working principle is as follows:

[0035] When the device is in operation, the protective cover 1 is fixed to the top of the external CT scanner with bolts. The X-ray tube and detector extend into the protective cover 1 and are positioned at both ends of the flip plate 502. Since one fixing component 4 is inside the protective cover 1, the other fixing component 4 will be outside the protective cover 1. Therefore, during the inspection of the workpiece inside the protective cover 1, a new workpiece can be installed inside the fixing component 4 on the outside. After the work is completed, the motor 501 inside the protective cover 1 is started, and the flip plate 502 is rotated half a turn. The new workpiece will directly replace the position of the workpiece that has been inspected, without the need for the process of disassembling the old workpiece and installing the new workpiece. When the positioning rod 504 approaches the locking hole 506, the positioning rod 504 is compressed and moves downward, and the spring 505 is also stretched. When the flip plate 502 rotates to the desired angle... After half a turn, the positioning rod 504 is aligned with the locking hole 506. The stretched spring 505 will then drive the positioning rod 504 into the locking hole 506. The accuracy of the adjustment can be clearly determined by sound. The two electric telescopic rods 601 outside the protective cover 1 are activated, and the connecting frame 602 is driven to move down. The baffle 603 blocks the opening of the protective cover 1, which can prevent the X-rays of the CT machine from affecting the staff. The installation process of the workpiece is as follows: the workpiece is placed inside the receiving frame 404. The double-acting screw 402 is rotated by the knob. The clamping column 403, which is slidably connected inside the slide groove 401, cannot rotate. The clamping columns 403 are driven to move closer to each other by the double-acting screw 402. The workpiece can be clamped by the two clamping columns 403. Under the action of the stepped groove 405, the fixing component 4 can fix workpieces of different thicknesses.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
