Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of non-destructive testing of electromechanical equipment, specifically a multi-channel steel wire rope non-destructive testing instrument. Background Technology

[0002] As a core load-bearing component of key equipment such as lifting machinery, mine hoisting, and bridge cables, the early detection of internal defects of steel wire ropes is directly related to the safety of equipment operation. In the process of building a green and intelligent oilfield, the large-scale application of high-efficiency integrated single-machine driven multi-well oil production system has become an inevitable trend in oilfield equipment upgrading. The power transmission center of this system adopts a multi-wire rope transmission array with pulley block traction as the core actuator.

In view of the above working conditions, the transmission system of multiple wire rope bars is defined as a critical vulnerable functional unit. Its random fracture event will not only cause the interruption of oil production operations, but may also trigger a chain of failures in the transmission system, seriously affecting the overall operational safety of the equipment.

Furthermore, some aspects of this utility model can be used alone or in any suitable combination with other aspects disclosed in this utility model.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a multi-channel wire rope non-destructive testing instrument, including a pulley 1, a non-destructive testing instrument 2 disposed on the front of the pulley 1, and a wire rope row 3 disposed between the pulley 1 and the non-destructive testing instrument 2.

[0024] The non-destructive testing instrument 2 includes a sensor guide sleeve module 21 disposed on the front of the pulley 1, a clamping and fixing device 22 disposed on the top of the sensor guide sleeve module 21, a counting wheel 23 disposed on the front of the sensor guide sleeve module 21, and a signal processing unit 24 disposed on the bottom of the sensor guide sleeve module 21.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the detachable sensor guide sleeve module 21 contains eight rope grooves, the width and number of which can be adjusted according to requirements, and is suitable for steel wire ropes with diameters of Φ8-18mm. The sensor guide sleeve module 21 is modularly designed and supports quick replacement to adapt to multi-strand steel wire rope rows 3 of different diameters. The clamping and fixing device 22 is used to clamp the steel wire rope row 3 to prevent the equipment from falling from a height. The counting wheel 23 is height adjustable, allowing the counting wheel 23 to switch between contact and separation states with the multi-strand steel wire rope row 3. The signal processing unit 24 analyzes the data in real time and uses a magnetic flux change rate algorithm to identify defects such as broken wires and wear, triggering audible and visual alarms according to the defect level.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and 4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0028] In this embodiment, the steel wire ropes 3 are arranged in rows and pass around the pulley 1 and are slidably connected to the surface of the pulley 1. Each steel wire rope in the steel wire rope row 3 extends into the sensor guide sleeve module 21 individually.

[0029] The sensor guide sleeve module 21 is a modular design, containing eight rope grooves. The groove width and number of grooves are adjustable, and it is suitable for steel wire ropes with a diameter of Φ8-18mm.

[0030] like Figure 1 and 4 As shown, the steel wire ropes 3 are arranged in rows and pass around the pulley 1. The non-destructive testing instrument 2 is installed on the steel wire ropes 3 extending from the pulley 1. Each steel wire rope in the steel wire ropes 3 is individually inserted into the sensor guide sleeve module 21 of the non-destructive testing instrument 2, thereby simultaneously detecting the wear condition of each steel wire rope in the steel wire ropes 3. At the same time, the steel wire ropes 3 are pressed and fixed by the clamping and fixing device 22 of the non-destructive testing instrument 2 to prevent the non-destructive testing instrument 2 from falling from a height. The modular sensor guide sleeve module 21 supports quick replacement, significantly improving the detection efficiency.

[0031] Example 3

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and 4 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0033] In this embodiment, the clamping and fixing device 22 is located on the side of the sensor guide sleeve module 21, and has a built-in elastic clamping mechanism composed of a cylindrical helical spring and a stroke limit block, which can adapt to the clamping requirements of multiple steel wire ropes of different diameters.

[0034] The counting wheel 23 is hinged to the sensor guide sleeve module 21, and the state of the wire rope row 3 can be adjusted by a lifting mechanism consisting of a motor and a ball screw pair.

[0035] The signal processing unit 24 integrates a high-precision magnetic leakage sensor and has a built-in filtering and noise reduction module. It transmits data to an external analysis system in real time via Wi-Fi to collect wire rope defect signals in real time.

[0036] like Figure 1 and 4 As shown, the clamping and fixing device 22 is used to clamp the wire rope row 3 to prevent the equipment from falling from a height. The counting wheel 23 is height adjustable, so that the counting wheel 23 can switch between two states of contact and separation with the multi-strand wire rope row 3. The signal processing unit 24 analyzes the data in real time, uses the magnetic flux change rate algorithm to identify defects such as broken wires and wear, triggers audible and visual alarms according to the defect level, and generates a comprehensive report including the defect location, level and replacement suggestions.

[0037] In use, the wire ropes 3 are arranged in rows and pass around the pulley 1. The non-destructive testing instrument 2 is installed on the wire ropes 3 extending from the pulley 1. Each wire rope in the wire ropes 3 is individually inserted into the sensor guide sleeve module 21 of the non-destructive testing instrument 2, thereby simultaneously detecting the wear condition of each wire rope in the wire ropes 3. The wire ropes 3 are pressed and fixed by the clamping and fixing device 22 of the non-destructive testing instrument 2 to prevent the non-destructive testing instrument 2 from falling from a height. The sensor guide sleeve module 21 is installed at point A of the multiple parallel wire ropes 3. After the clamping and fixing device 22 is locked, the motor is started to drive the counting wheel 23 to rotate, so that the non-destructive testing instrument 2 moves from point A to point B and collects the leakage magnetic signal in real time. After pulling out the steel wire rope at end C, the non-destructive testing instrument 2 continues to move from point B to point C to complete the coverage inspection of the entire steel wire rope. The signal processing unit 24 analyzes the data in real time, uses the magnetic flux change rate algorithm to identify defects such as broken wires and wear, triggers audible and visual alarms according to the defect level, and generates a comprehensive report including the defect location, level and replacement suggestions.
