Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of penetrant testing, and in particular to a spraying device for penetrant testing of bars. Background Technology

[0002] Penetrant testing (PT) is one of the earliest nondestructive testing (NDT) methods used in industry. Due to its simplicity and ease of operation, PT is widely used in various fields of modern industry. Due to capillary action, when a penetrant containing fluorescent or colored dye is applied to the surface of a specimen, the penetrant penetrates into various small defects that open onto the surface (these small openings act as capillaries, and the penetration of the penetrant into these defects is equivalent to wetting). After removing excess penetrant from the specimen surface and allowing it to dry, a developer is applied. The penetrant in the defects is then re-adsorbed onto the specimen surface due to capillary action, creating a magnified defect display. The shape, size, and distribution of the defects can then be observed visually.

[0003] In existing penetrant testing processes for rods or pipes, the rods or pipes are typically placed on a flat surface and the test agent is sprayed onto their surface. Since the rods or pipes remain in the same position, there will be areas that are not sprayed, requiring manual rotation to achieve comprehensive spraying. Furthermore, spraying can only be done sequentially, resulting in low efficiency. To address these issues, a spraying device for penetrant testing of rods is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that manual rotation is required to achieve comprehensive spraying, and spraying can only be done sequentially, resulting in low efficiency.

[0010] Furthermore, the box body has slots on both sides, and a first screw rod connected to the motor is located in the slot. A transverse frame is installed in the slot, and the transverse frame is threadedly connected to the first screw rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper end of the transverse frame is provided with a moving groove, and a second screw connected to the motor is located in the moving groove. The support frame is located in the moving groove and is threadedly connected to the second screw.

[0012] Furthermore, the lower end of the support frame is provided with a limiting groove, and the limiting groove has a protruding semi-circular groove.

[0013] Furthermore, one end of the spray can rests against the support frame, and the other end is held in place by the slot of the limiting groove, with the spray can facing vertically towards the box body;

[0014] Furthermore, a drain port is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the box and extends out of the box. The drain port is located between two placement racks and has a valve for controlling the drainage.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] The device utilizes rubber wheels to drive the rotation of the rods and the two-dimensional movement of the spray can, replacing manual rod rotation and reducing manual intervention and labor intensity, making it suitable for batch testing. The uniform rotation of the rods, combined with the lateral and longitudinal movement of the spray can, ensures that every surface is covered by the penetrant, avoiding omissions caused by traditional manual spraying and improving the accuracy of test results. The electric push rod can adjust the position of the placement rack to accommodate rods of different sizes. The design of the cover plate and positioning plate can fix the rods to prevent shaking during testing and ensure testing stability. The drain port is located between the two placement racks, which can collect test waste liquid in a timely manner. With valve control, it is convenient for subsequent waste liquid recycling or treatment, keeping the inside of the device clean. Attached Figure Description
