A support plate 20 is slidably connected inside the sleeve 19. A support rod 6 is set at one end of the upper end face of the support plate 20. The support rod 6 moves closer to or away from the workpiece through the support plate 20.
[0022] The lower end face of the turntable 4 is provided with a coaxial pressure bearing 21, and the center of the lower end face of the turntable 4 is provided with a rotating shaft 22. The lower end of the rotating shaft 22 passes through the base plate 1. The upper end face of the turntable 4 is provided with a first connecting groove 12. A first bidirectional lead screw 23 is provided in the first connecting groove 12. One end of the first bidirectional lead screw 23 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of one end of the first connecting groove 12, and the other end of the first bidirectional lead screw 23 passes through the other end of the first connecting groove 12. The tool is tightened at the end of the first bidirectional lead screw 23 through the through hole 5. Rotating the tool causes the first bidirectional lead screw 23 to rotate, so that the two fixed clamps move closer or further apart, which facilitates the fixation of the workpiece.
[0023] The fixing clamp includes a connecting plate 13, a housing 14, a locking block 15, and a spring 24. The connecting plate 13 is longitudinally arranged above the turntable 4. The lower end of the connecting plate 13 is located in the first connecting groove 12 and is threadedly connected to the first bidirectional lead screw 23.

The adjusting screw 25 is provided with a threaded fixed ring 26. The fixed plate 9 is connected to the side of the fixed ring 26. The first motor 8 drives the adjusting screw 25 to rotate, so that the fixed ring 26 drives the fixed plate 9 to move up and down along the adjusting screw 25, which facilitates the movement of the ultrasonic detector probe.
[0026] The upper surface of the fixing plate 9 is provided with a second connecting groove 27. The second bidirectional lead screw 28 is set in the second connecting groove 27. One end of the second bidirectional lead screw 28 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of one end of the second connecting groove 27.

The lower end of the clamping plate 10 is set in the second connecting groove 27 and is threadedly connected to the second bidirectional lead screw 28. Rotating the knob 11 causes the second bidirectional lead screw 28 to rotate, so that the two clamping plates 10 move closer or further apart, which facilitates the fixation of the ultrasonic detector probe.
[0027] In the embodiment of the ultra-low temperature ductile iron casting inspection device, the workpiece is hoisted and placed above the turntable 4. The tool is clamped to the end of the first bidirectional lead screw 23 through the through hole 5. Rotating the tool causes the first bidirectional lead screw 23 to rotate, causing the two fixing clamps to move closer or further apart, facilitating the fixation of the workpiece. The clamping block 15 is pressed onto the workpiece by the spring 24 to adapt to the workpiece's shape design. Then, the support rod 6 is moved closer or further away from the workpiece through the support plate 20, and the probe of the ultrasonic detector is placed between the two clamping plates 10. Rotating the knob 11 causes the second bidirectional lead screw 28 to rotate, causing the two clamping plates 10 to move closer or further apart. The two clamps 10 are positioned to facilitate fixing the ultrasonic probe. Rotating the knob 11 causes the second bidirectional screw 28 to rotate, making the two clamps 10 move closer or further apart, thus facilitating the fixing of the ultrasonic probe. During flaw detection, the support rod 6 is pushed towards the workpiece, placing the ultrasonic probe against the workpiece surface. The second motor 17 drives the gearbox 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the upper turntable 4 to rotate the workpiece. The first motor 8 drives the adjusting screw 25 to rotate, causing the fixing ring 26 to move the fixing plate 9 up and down along the adjusting screw 25, facilitating the movement of the ultrasonic probe for flaw detection.
