Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water immersion flaw detection devices, specifically to an ultrasonic water immersion flaw detection device. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of industry, especially in sectors such as aviation, shipbuilding, and energy, non-destructive testing (NDT) technology for materials is playing an increasingly important role in ensuring product quality and improving safety. Ultrasonic testing, as a common NDT method, is widely used in the quality inspection of various materials due to its advantages such as large detection depth, high precision, and ease of operation. Ultrasonic testing typically relies on an ultrasonic probe emitting high-frequency sound waves and analyzing the internal defects or structural conditions of the object being tested through the reflected echoes.
[0003] However, traditional ultrasonic flaw detection devices often suffer from drawbacks such as cumbersome operation, large footprint, and inability to precisely control probe position. This is especially true during water immersion testing, where equipment stability and precise probe movement are frequently affected. In water immersion testing, the probe needs to scan the workpiece from different positions in all directions, but existing equipment often cannot guarantee precise probe positioning and stable movement within the water tank due to the complexity of moving components or limitations in structural design. Furthermore, the installation of multiple displacement sensors and the protection of their wiring are also challenges; wire pulling, friction, or improper data collection can lead to inaccurate sensor data feedback, affecting detection accuracy.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies have proposed several improvements; however, most lack a simple and highly integrated design, or fail to effectively optimize the protection of moving components and sensor circuitry. Therefore, this application proposes an ultrasonic water immersion testing device that simplifies the structure, precisely controls probe movement, effectively protects sensor circuitry, and improves the reliability and ease of use of the equipment while ensuring high-precision flaw detection.

[0037] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

They are only for the convenience of describing the technical solution of this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0039] This application proposes an ultrasonic water immersion flaw detection device, the details of which are as follows:
[0040] For reference Figure 1 This application mainly consists of a water tank 1, a load-bearing beam 11 surrounding the water tank 1, a movable component 2 mounted on the load-bearing beam 11, a probe component 3 for ultrasonic operation, a support component 4 mounted on the movable component 2, a displacement sensor 5 for detecting displacement changes, and a rotating buckle 6 for collecting and fixing the circuit of the displacement sensor 5. Through the arrangement and cooperation of the above structures, the overall device can be simplified, the movable component 2 can be directly mounted on the water tank 1 for use, and the protection of the circuit on the displacement sensor 5 and the reduction of the impact of pulling on the use are solved when multiple sets of displacement sensors 5 are in operation.
[0041] For reference Figure 1 The water tank 1 is a square water tank, and a load-bearing beam 11 is integrated on the water tank 1. The load-bearing beam 11 increases the weighing capacity of the water tank 1 and reduces the possibility of deformation of the water tank 1 after weighing.
[0042] For reference Figure 1-2 The moving component 2 is located on the water tank 1 and is used to drive the probe component 3 to perform linear motion in three-axis directions; it is used to move during ultrasonic flaw detection to achieve all-round detection of the object to be tested.
[0043] Furthermore, the moving component 2 includes a first slide rail 21, a second slide rail 22, and a third slide rail 23;
[0044] There are two sets of first slide rails 21, symmetrically arranged on the load-bearing beams 11 on both sides of the water tank 1; the second slide rail 22 is connected to the two sets of first slide rails 21 at both ends, and the second slide rail 22 can move linearly along the two sets of first slide rails 21; the third slide rail 23 is located on the second slide rail 22, and can move linearly along the second slide rail 22; when moving forward or backward, the first slide rail 21 is controlled to move; when moving left or right, the second slide rail 22 is controlled to move; when moving up or down, the third slide rail 23 is controlled to move; the three sets of slide rails can be adjusted based on different movement conditions;
[0045] In existing systems, the slide rail and water tank 1 are mostly designed separately, which increases the need for a structure that supports the slide rail and water tank 1 to be height-matched. In this application, the water tank 1 is modified to increase its load-bearing capacity, and the slide rail and water tank 1 are integrated, which may facilitate better transfer and reduce its occupied area.
[0046] It should be noted that the first slide rail 21, the second slide rail 22 and the third slide rail 23 are all existing electrically controlled linear slide rails, which are relatively mature existing technologies, and will not be described in detail in this application.
[0047] For reference Figure 4 Ultrasonic flaw detection is performed using probe assembly 3, which includes a round rod 31, a connecting clamp 32, and an ultrasonic probe 33. The round rod 31 is mounted on the slider of the third slide rail 23 via a clamp, and the connecting clamp 32 is positioned at the end of the round rod 31 away from the slider of the third slide rail 23. The ultrasonic probe 33 is mounted on the connecting clamp 32. When it is necessary to modify the distance between the ultrasonic probe 33 and the bottom of the water tank 1, the position of the clamp holding the round rod 31 can be adjusted. The ultrasonic probe 33 is fixed in place at the bottom of the round rod 31 by the connecting clamp 32. When the ultrasonic probe 33 is controlled by the control system to start working, the flaw detection work begins.
[0048] Furthermore, the probe assembly 3 can be set to multiple groups, thereby performing flaw detection work from multiple angles. The specific settings are configured according to the actual operating conditions.
[0049] For reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The movable component 2 is equipped with a support member 4. The movable component 2 consists of three sets of slide rails, and two sets of support members 4 are installed on each set of slide rails. The support member 4 is L-shaped, with one side connected to the slide rail and the other side forming a support platform. The displacement sensor 5 can be fixed on the support member 4 for operation. Considering that the displacement sensor 5 has connecting wires, in order to avoid pulling during collection or subsequent use and affecting the displacement sensor 5's displacement, a U-shaped groove 41 is provided on the support member 4. The wires of the displacement sensor 5 can pass through the U-shaped groove 41, and after passing through, they form an arc shape. This can effectively reduce the friction suffered by the displacement sensor 5's wires during operation. Furthermore, when the wires are pulled, the arc shape can act as a buffer, reducing the impact on the displacement sensor 5 and effectively reducing the possibility of displacement of the displacement sensor 5 on the support member 4.
[0050] Two sets of displacement sensors 5 are installed on a set of slide rails to provide real-time feedback on the displacement of the slide rails, ensuring accurate positioning and control of the system. The two sets of displacement sensors 5 have two connecting lines. To avoid the influence of the lines on the detection and to meet the requirements of neatness, a rotating buckle 6 is further installed. The lines are further collected and tidied by the rotating buckle 6.
[0051] The rotating buckle 6 is located on the lower side of the support 4 and is mounted on the slide rail. The number of rotating buckles is not limited and is determined based on the actual length and width. The rotating buckle 6 includes a mounting plate 61, a damping shaft 62, and a rotating rod 63. The mounting plate 61 is bolted to the moving assembly 2. The damping shaft 62 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 61. The rotating rod 63 is rotatably connected to the damping shaft 62. The damping shaft 62 controls the rotation of the rotating rod 63, thereby achieving the locking of the wiring. Disassembly only requires controlling the movement of the rotating rod 63. The damping shaft 62 has damping and will not move actively without adjustment; this is a common existing technology and will not be elaborated further.
[0052] By using the rotating buckle 6 and the U-shaped groove 41, the circuitry on the displacement sensor 5 can be effectively controlled, reducing the impact of the circuitry on the displacement sensor 5 and lowering the feedback accuracy.
[0053] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:
[0054] 1. First, place the object to be tested into water tank 1 and wait for it to be tested;
[0055] 2. Secondly, adjust the position of the round rod 31 on the third slide rail 23 according to different situations, thereby adjusting the position of the ultrasonic probe 33 at the bottom from the bottom of the water tank 1.
[0056] 3. Subsequently, the ultrasonic probe 33 is operated through the control console. When the ultrasonic probe 33 starts working, the position of the ultrasonic probe 33 is moved through the moving component 2 to perform multi-directional detection.
[0057] 4. Finally, when the moving component 2 is shifting, the moving position is detected by multiple displacement sensors 5, so as to more accurately determine the moving position and make the detection results more refined.
[0058] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. All such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
