Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical spark detection technology, specifically an easily adjustable electrical spark detector. Background Technology
[0002] Electric spark detectors are widely used for defect detection of coated workpieces (such as anti-corrosion coatings for pipelines). The principle is to scan the surface of the workpiece with a high-voltage brush. When defects such as pinholes or cracks exist in the coating, an electric spark is generated between the brush and the substrate, triggering an alarm.
[0003] However, in traditional EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) instruments, the brush holder angle is fixed, making it difficult to adapt to complex curved surfaces or narrow areas. Frequent manual adjustments to the holder are required, which is cumbersome. Furthermore, the location of detected defects must be manually recorded, which can easily lead to omissions or errors. Additionally, since there are currently two brush shapes, manual brush replacement is necessary for different inspection needs, reducing inspection efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0027] Example 1:
[0028] like Figure 1 In the present invention, an easily adjustable electric spark detector includes a main unit 1, which has a built-in buzzer module 10. The main unit 1 and the brush 7 on the brush bracket 6 are connected by a probe wire 3, which is inserted into the handle rod 4. The brush bracket 6 is set at one end of the gimbal section 5, and the other end of the gimbal section 5 is connected to the handle rod 4.
[0029] The brush holder 6 includes a fixed part in the middle and movable parts 601 arranged on both sides of the fixed part. Connecting rods 14 are provided on both sides of the fixed part and are inserted into holes opened on the side of the movable parts 601.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of fixed sections 8 are provided between the handle lever 4 and the gimbal section 5.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the upper end of the handle rod 4 and the lower end of the gimbal section 5 are both provided with threaded connection grooves 11, and the two ends of the fixed section 8 are provided with threaded connection posts 12. The threaded connection posts 12 and the threaded connection grooves 11 cooperate to achieve a fixed connection.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, both the bottom of the threaded connection groove 11 and the top of the threaded connection post 12 are provided with contact pieces 13, and the probe 3 extending into the handle rod 4 is connected to the contact piece 13 in the threaded connection groove 11 at the upper end of the handle rod 4.
[0033] The contact pieces 13 at the upper and lower ends of the fixed section 8 are connected by wires;
[0034] The contact piece 13 in the threaded groove 11 at the lower end of the gimbal section 5 is connected to the brush 7 on the brush bracket 6 via a wire.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the brush holder 6 is equipped with an inkjet gun 19.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the handle 4 is equipped with an inclinometer 9.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment, a limiting plate 141 is provided on the connecting rod 14 portion located in the side hole of the movable part 601, and a spring 15 is sleeved on the connecting rod 14 portion between the limiting plate 141 and the bottom of the hole.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the gimbal section 5 is provided with a spool 17, and a traction line 16 is fixed on each of the two movable parts 601. The traction line 16 passes through the spool 17 and is wound around the spool 18 provided on the handle rod 4.
[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the reel 18 employs a ratchet structure to achieve unidirectional rotation for take-up and manual release of the line.
[0040] The electric spark detector disclosed in this utility model is easy to adjust. During adjustment:
[0041] According to the detection height requirements, a fixed section 8 is added between the gimbal section 5 and the handle rod 4, and is fixed by screwing the threaded connecting post 12 and the threaded connecting groove 11, and the contact piece 13 automatically conducts the circuit.
[0042] Rotating the reel 18 tightens the traction line 16. The traction line pulls the movable part 601 along the connecting rod 14 through the reel 17, so that the brush bracket 6 forms a strip-shaped detection surface. When it is necessary to increase the detection surface area and match the arc surface of the inner wall of the tank to be tested, the reel 18 releases the line (pulling the pawl), so that the spring 15 pushes the two movable parts 601 to unfold and expand the detection surface.
[0043] Adjust the handle to the preset angle using the inclinometer 9 to start the detection.
[0044] The inkjet gun 19 is installed on the brush holder 6. During the inspection process, when the brush 7 contacts the defect and generates an electric spark, the host 1 triggers a buzzer alarm and simultaneously starts the inkjet gun 19 to spray a mark at the defect.
[0045] Based on the above, multiple fixed sections 8 are added to extend the handle. Each fixed section is fixed by a threaded connecting post 12 and a threaded sleeve. The contact piece 13 ensures that the circuit is connected.
