Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of product testing technology, specifically to an automatic water supply and drainage mechanism in an ultrasonic testing device. Background Technology

[0002] After product processing, phased array ultrasonic non-destructive testing is required. The general testing procedure is as follows: a water tank is set up, and an ultrasonic testing device is installed inside. A clamp is then placed inside the tank to hold and fix the product to be tested. Water is then added to the tank through a water pipe until the water level is above the product level and maintained for a period of time. During this testing process, since multiple products from the same batch need to be tested simultaneously, to ensure efficiency, after testing one product, the clamp is released, the product is removed from the water, and then placed back below the water level in the tank and fixed with the clamp.

[0003] However, during the aforementioned testing process, the buoyancy of the water and the visual illusions and dizziness caused by splashes during manual handling can affect workers, severely interfering with their operations. Furthermore, the low temperature of the water also makes underwater operations inconvenient for technicians. Simply using a lifting mechanism to position the clamp within the water tank and change the product's location is an option; however, this method generally involves a complex lifting mechanism, and prolonged immersion below the water level can cause significant damage to the lifting components, reducing their lifespan.

[0004] To address this issue, we propose an automatic water supply and drainage mechanism for ultrasonic testing equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art by proposing an automatic water supply and drainage mechanism for ultrasonic testing equipment. This mechanism, through the setting of an upper testing zone and a lower sealed zone, can quickly transport the water inside the lower sealed zone to a designated water level in the upper testing zone when pressurization is applied. When the lower sealed zone is depressurized, the water in the upper testing zone can flow back to the lower sealed zone. The switching between the two working modes is quick and convenient, improving testing efficiency and the convenience of testing operation.

[0006] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An automatic water supply and drainage mechanism in an ultrasonic testing device includes a water storage tank, and a partition is provided inside the water storage tank to divide the water storage tank into an upper testing area and a lower sealed area. A connecting pipe is provided in the lower sealed area, and one end of the connecting pipe passes through the partition and extends into the upper testing area. An air inlet pipe is provided on the lower sealed area so that when the air pressure in the lower sealed area increases due to the supply of gas to the lower sealed area by the air inlet pipe, the water in the lower sealed area can be transported to the upper testing area through the connecting pipe.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the connecting pipes are configured as multiple pipes and evenly distributed within the lower sealed area.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a waterproof cover is fixedly provided at the bottom of the upper detection area, and the waterproof cover is located above the end of the connecting pipe extending to the upper detection area.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an exhaust pipe is fixedly installed on the lower sealed area, and a first valve is installed on both the exhaust pipe and the intake pipe.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a drain pipe is provided on the lower sealed area, and a second valve is provided on the drain pipe.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the water storage tank is rectangular, and the connecting pipes are four in number and are respectively arranged at the four corners of the lower enclosed area.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a carrier for supporting products is provided in the upper detection area.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the carrier includes an inclined plate that is tilted at the bottom of the upper detection area.

[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a positioning pin is provided on the inclined plate at the bottom of the slope to match the assembly hole on the product.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The water storage tank is divided into an upper detection area and a lower sealed area by a partition. The ingenious combination of the connecting pipe and the air inlet pipe realizes the automatic rise and fall of water under changes in air pressure, which improves the automation level and ease of operation of the ultrasonic testing equipment.

[0018] 2. By setting multiple connecting pipes and distributing them evenly, this ensures that water can be transported more evenly and quickly from the lower closed zone to the upper detection zone through the connecting pipes, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the equipment and the accuracy of the detection.

[0019] 3. By fixing a waterproof cover at the bottom of the upper detection area and placing it above the extension end of the connecting pipe, water can be effectively prevented from splashing in the upper detection area, maintaining a clean and stable detection environment, and also helping to protect the detection equipment and samples.

[0020] 4. By fixing an exhaust pipe in the lower sealed area and installing a first valve on the exhaust pipe and the air inlet pipe, it is easier to control the air pressure changes in the lower sealed area, thereby more accurately controlling the rise and fall of water and improving the reliability and flexibility of the equipment.

[0021] 5. By installing a drain pipe and a second valve on the lower sealed area, it is easier to drain the water accumulated in the lower sealed area, which facilitates the maintenance and upkeep of the equipment, and also provides convenience for the cleaning and disinfection of the equipment.

[0022] 6. By setting up a carrier for supporting the product in the upper inspection area, the product to be inspected can be fixed and supported more stably, preventing it from shifting or tilting during the inspection process, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the inspection.

[0023] 7. By designing the carrier as an inclined plate at the bottom of the upper inspection area, it can better adapt to the shape and size of the product, making it more stable on the carrier, and also helps to improve inspection efficiency and accuracy.

[0024] 8. A positioning pin is installed at the bottom of the slope on the inclined plate to match the assembly hole on the product. This allows for more precise positioning and fixation of the product, preventing it from moving or tilting during the inspection process, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the inspection.

[0032] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] like Figures 1-5 As shown, an automatic water supply and drainage mechanism in an ultrasonic testing device includes a water storage tank 1. A partition 2 is installed inside the water storage tank 1, dividing it into an upper testing area 101 and a lower sealed area 102. The upper testing area 101 has an upward-facing opening and is used to temporarily store the product a to be tested. The lower sealed area 102 stores water and has a connecting pipe 3 installed within it. One end of the connecting pipe 3 is sealed and passes through the partition 2, extending into the upper testing area 101, thus connecting the lower sealed area 102 and the upper testing area 101. Preferably, multiple connecting pipes 3 are evenly distributed within the lower sealed area 102. After the product a is placed in the upper testing area 101, water from the lower sealed area 102 can be transported to the upper testing area 101 through the connecting pipes 3 until the product a is completely submerged, thus enabling the testing of product a.

[0034] like Figures 3-4As shown, in order to enable the water in the lower sealed area 102 to be transported to the upper detection area 101, an air inlet pipe 4 and an exhaust pipe 6 can be installed on the lower sealed area 102. Specifically, the air inlet pipe 4 and the exhaust pipe 6 are both installed on the side of the water storage tank 1 where the lower sealed area 102 is located, and a first valve is installed on the air inlet pipe 4 and the exhaust pipe 6. Under normal circumstances, the first valves on both the intake pipe 4 and the exhaust pipe 6 are closed, and the lower sealed area 102 is under normal pressure. All water is temporarily stored in the lower sealed area 102, and product a is placed in the upper detection area 101. When testing is required, the external high-pressure equipment (not shown in the figure) is connected to the intake pipe 4, the first valve on the intake pipe 4 is opened, the first valve on the exhaust pipe 6 is closed, the external high-pressure equipment works, and the air pressure in the lower sealed area 102 increases. Under this pressurization, the water in the lower sealed area 102 is forced into the connecting pipe 3 and transported to the upper detection area 101. The external high-pressure equipment continues to work until the water level in the upper detection area 101 is higher than that of product a, at which point subsequent testing can be carried out. After the test is completed, close the first valve on the air inlet pipe 4 and open the first valve on the exhaust pipe 6. Use the exhaust pipe 6 to depressurize the lower sealed area 102, so that the water in the upper test area 101 can flow back to the lower sealed area 102 through the connecting pipe 3. Then the product a after the test can be taken out.

[0035] Combination Figures 1 to 5 As shown, preferably, the water storage tank 1 is rectangular in shape, and four connecting pipes 3 are arranged at the four corners of the lower sealed area 102. In order to prevent water splashing during the process of the connecting pipes 3 transporting water in the lower sealed area 102 to the upper detection area 101, a waterproof cover 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the upper detection area 101, and the waterproof cover 5 is located above the end of the connecting pipe 3 extending to the upper detection area 101. The waterproof cover 5 can buffer the flow of water on the connecting pipe 3.

[0036] like Figures 1-2 As shown, to facilitate water addition or replacement in the lower sealed area 102, this application provides a drain pipe 7 on the lower sealed area 102, and a second valve is provided on the drain pipe 7. Under normal circumstances, the second valve is in the closed state. When water addition or replacement is required, the second valve can be opened to perform the corresponding operation. Of course, the water addition or replacement operation in the lower sealed area 102 in this application is not limited to the setting of the drain pipe 7, and can also be achieved using conventional technical means in the prior art.

[0037] like Figure 2As shown, in order for the upper inspection area 101 to be adapted to temporarily store large-volume products such as snow flooring in a specified state, product a in the attached drawings of this application is shown as a snow flooring (the snow flooring consists of straight and curved parts). This application provides a carrier for supporting product a in the upper inspection area 101. Specifically, the carrier includes an inclined plate 8 that is inclined at the bottom of the upper inspection area 101. In order to ensure that all products a in the same batch can be installed at the specified position on the inclined plate 8 and to facilitate the stable placement of the products on the inclined plate 8, a positioning pin 9 that is adapted to the mounting hole on product a can be provided on the inclined plate 8 at the bottom of the slope. During the process of placing product a on the inclined plate 8, the mounting hole on product a can be inserted and adapted to the positioning pin 9 on the inclined plate 8. This not only achieves the positioning of product a, but also ensures that all products a in the same batch can be placed at the same position on the inclined plate 8, resulting in accurate inspection.

[0038] The above description provides a detailed account of one embodiment of the present invention. However, this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
