Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultrasonic thickness gauge fixing bracket technology, and in particular to a fixing bracket that can be used for ultrasonic thickness gauges. Background Technology

[0002] An ultrasonic thickness gauge is a device that uses the pulse reflection of ultrasonic waves in a medium to measure the thickness of an object. It mainly consists of a main unit and a probe. Ultrasonic thickness gauges can measure the thickness of metallic or non-metallic materials, determine the sound velocity of the material to judge its properties, and inspect defects close to and parallel to the surface. Currently, ultrasonic thickness gauges are generally used by holding the gauge with the left hand and pinching the probe with the right. To free the left hand, a mounting bracket is usually used to secure the ultrasonic thickness gauge. However, current brackets are often not convenient and quick enough to hold the gauge in place, requiring a certain level of skill to operate.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a fixed bracket that can be used in ultrasonic thickness gauges to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a fixed bracket that can be used in ultrasonic thickness gauges, solving the problems in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a fixed bracket for an ultrasonic thickness gauge, comprising a fixed bracket body, an adjusting screw vertically and movably mounted on the top surface of the fixed bracket body, a threaded sleeve helically connected to the outer surface of the adjusting screw, a support platform at the top of the threaded sleeve, an mounting platform movably mounted on the top surface of the support platform, a drive rod vertically and movably mounted on the top surface of the fixed bracket body, a second sprocket on the circumferential side of the drive rod, a first sprocket on the circumferential side of the adjusting screw, a chain meshing between the first and second sprockets, and a crank handle at the top of the drive rod. The fixed bracket body is equipped with a drive rod, a first sprocket, an adjusting screw, and a threaded sleeve. The combination of the cylinder, support platform, second sprocket, chain, and crank handle facilitates the fixation of the ultrasonic thickness gauge while simultaneously adjusting its operating height. During operation, simply place the ultrasonic thickness gauge on the mounting platform. When height adjustment is needed, the crank handle rotates the drive rod, which in turn rotates the first sprocket via the chain, causing the second sprocket to rotate. This, in turn, causes the adjusting screw to move the threaded sleeve up and down, thereby moving the ultrasonic thickness gauge up and down via the mounting platform. This method is simple to operate, improves its flexibility, and the combination of the first sprocket, second sprocket, chain, and drive rod makes operation convenient and requires no specific height.

[0006] Preferably, the bottom surface of the mounting platform has a movable cavity, and the top of the movable cavity has a mounting groove. A drive shaft is movably mounted inside the mounting groove via a bearing seat. The bottom end of the drive shaft is fixed to the top surface of the support platform. An electromagnet is embedded in the periphery of the support platform, and an iron ring is provided inside the mounting platform. By using the mounting cavity, iron ring, electromagnet, and handwheel in combination, the working angle of the ultrasonic thickness gauge can be easily adjusted. When the ultrasonic thickness gauge is installed and the angle needs to be adjusted, the electromagnet is de-energized, and then the mounting platform is rotated on the support platform by the handwheel. The mounting platform then rotates the ultrasonic thickness gauge. After rotating to the specified angle, the electromagnet is energized again, causing the electromagnet to attract the iron ring, thereby fixing the mounting platform. This method is simple to operate and improves the flexibility of the mounting frame.

[0007] Preferably, a fixing frame is provided on the top surface of the mounting platform, and an electric push rod is installed on the outer surface of the fixing frame. A pressing plate is provided at the output end of the electric push rod. By using the fixing frame, electric push rod and pressing plate together, it is easy to fix the ultrasonic thickness gauge. After the ultrasonic thickness gauge is placed on the support platform, the electric push rod is activated, and then the electric push rod drives the pressing plate to press and fix the ultrasonic thickness gauge. This method is simple to operate and can improve the stability of the ultrasonic thickness gauge during operation.

[0008] Preferably, a limiting cylinder is vertically installed on the bottom surface of the support platform, and a limiting rod is slidably inserted inside the limiting cylinder. The bottom end of the limiting rod is fixed to the top surface of the fixing frame body. By using the limiting cylinder and the limiting rod together, the stability of the support platform when moving upward is improved.

[0009] Preferably, a handwheel is provided on the peripheral side of the support platform via a connecting rod, which facilitates the driving of the support platform.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom surface of the fixed frame body is equipped with casters, and multiple casters are provided. The multiple casters are installed at equal intervals at the four corners of the bottom of the fixed frame body. By providing casters, it is convenient to move the fixed frame body and to operate it.

[0011] Preferably, a controller is installed on the mounting frame body, which facilitates the control of the electrical components inside the equipment.

[0012] Compared with related technologies, the fixed bracket for ultrasonic thickness gauges provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0013] Compared to existing technologies, this mounting bracket for ultrasonic thickness gauges, through the coordinated use of a drive rod, a first sprocket, an adjusting screw, a threaded sleeve, a support platform, a second sprocket, a chain, and a crank, facilitates both fixing the ultrasonic thickness gauge and adjusting its height. During operation, simply place the ultrasonic thickness gauge on the mounting platform; when height adjustment is needed, the crank rotates the drive rod. The rotation of the drive rod then causes the first sprocket to rotate via the chain, which in turn rotates the second sprocket. This, in turn, causes the adjusting screw to move the threaded sleeve up and down, thereby moving the ultrasonic thickness gauge up and down via the mounting platform. This method is simple to operate. This design enhances the flexibility of its use. The combination of the first sprocket, second sprocket, chain, and drive rod facilitates operation without height restrictions. The use of the mounting cavity, iron ring, electromagnet, and handwheel allows for easy adjustment of the ultrasonic thickness gauge's working angle. When angle adjustment is needed after installation, the electromagnet is de-energized, and the handwheel rotates the mounting platform on the support. The mounting platform then rotates the ultrasonic thickness gauge. Once the desired angle is reached, the electromagnet is energized again, attracting the iron ring and securing the mounting platform. This simple operation enhances the flexibility of the mounting frame.

An adjusting screw 3 is vertically and movably mounted on the top surface of the mounting body 1. A threaded sleeve 4 is helically connected to the outer surface of the adjusting screw 3. A support platform 6 is provided at the top of the threaded sleeve 4. A mounting platform 7 is movably mounted on the top surface of the support platform 6. A drive rod 10 is vertically and movably mounted on the top surface of the mounting body 1. A second sprocket 12 is provided on the circumferential side of the drive rod 10. A first sprocket 14 is provided on the circumferential side of the adjusting screw 3. A chain 13 meshes between the first sprocket 14 and the second sprocket 12. A crank 8 is provided at the top of the drive rod 10. The mounting bracket consists of the drive rod 10, the first sprocket 14, the adjusting screw 3, the threaded sleeve 4, and the support platform 6. The combined use of the second sprocket 12, chain 13, and crank 8 facilitates the fixation of the ultrasonic thickness gauge while simultaneously adjusting its operating height. During operation, simply place the ultrasonic thickness gauge on the mounting platform 7. When height adjustment is needed, the crank 8 rotates the drive rod 10. The rotation of the drive rod 10 then causes the first sprocket 14 to rotate via the chain 13, which in turn rotates the second sprocket 12. This causes the adjusting screw 3 to move the threaded sleeve 4 up and down, thereby moving the ultrasonic thickness gauge up and down via the mounting platform 7. This method is simple to operate, improves its flexibility, and the combination of the first sprocket 14, second sprocket 12, chain 13, and drive rod 10 facilitates operation without height requirements.

[0023] The working principle of the fixed bracket for ultrasonic thickness gauges provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0024] This type of mounting bracket for ultrasonic thickness gauges, through the coordinated use of a drive rod 10, a first sprocket 14, an adjusting screw 3, a threaded sleeve 4, a support platform 6, a second sprocket 12, a chain 13, and a crank handle 8, facilitates both fixing the ultrasonic thickness gauge and adjusting its height. During operation, simply place the ultrasonic thickness gauge on the mounting platform 7. When height adjustment is needed, the crank handle 8 rotates the drive rod 10. The rotation of the drive rod 10 then causes the first sprocket 14 to rotate via the chain 13, which in turn rotates the second sprocket 12. This, in turn, causes the adjusting screw 3 to move the threaded sleeve 4 up and down, thereby moving the ultrasonic thickness gauge up and down via the mounting platform 7. This method is simple to operate and facilitates improved performance. The ultrasonic thickness gauge offers great flexibility in use, and its operation is convenient thanks to the cooperation of the first sprocket 14, the second sprocket 12, the chain 13, and the drive rod 10. It is not limited by height. The use of the mounting cavity, iron ring 21, electromagnet 19, and handwheel 18 facilitates adjustment of the working angle of the ultrasonic thickness gauge. When the ultrasonic thickness gauge is installed and angle adjustment is needed, the electromagnet 19 is de-energized, and then the handwheel 18 rotates the mounting platform 7 on the support platform 6. The mounting platform 7 then rotates the ultrasonic thickness gauge. After rotating to the specified angle, the electromagnet 19 is energized again, causing it to attract the iron ring 21 and thus fixing the mounting platform 7. This method is simple to operate and improves the flexibility of the mounting frame body 1.
