[0004] However, existing metal structure damage detection equipment, particularly the traditional fixed connection method, suffers from insufficient support for the pipes, affecting the stability and accuracy of the detection. Furthermore, the lack of a rapid clamping and release mechanism prolongs the loading and unloading time of the pipes, reducing detection efficiency. Additionally, the equipment cannot adapt to pipes of different sizes and shapes, limiting its applicability. Maintenance and replacement are also more difficult, increasing downtime. To address these issues, a new metal structure damage detection equipment is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0031] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] To further understand the contents of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3This utility model discloses a metal structure damage detection device, including a drive machine tool 1. The drive machine tool 1 allows a second servo motor to drive a lead screw to rotate, causing a nut assembly to slide on the drive machine tool 1, thereby allowing a support frame 14 to slide on the drive machine tool 1. A control panel located at one end of the drive machine tool 1 controls the motor and vacuum pump 23. A servo motor 6 is fixedly connected to one side of a rotating disk 5, and the servo motor 6 is also fixedly connected to one side of a fixed plate 4 on the other side. The servo motor 6 allows a slider 7 to rotate within the rotating disk 5, and simultaneously allows the transmission rod 11 to drive the rotating disk 7. The moving disc 5 rotates on the fixed plate 4. A protective block 13 is provided at one end of the transmission rod 11. The protective block 13 can protect the pipe to be inspected from slipping. The adjustment component includes a support frame 14, which is set on the top of the drive machine tool 1. The support frame 14 can support the required components and structures. A push rod motor 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 14. The push rod motor 15 can make the slide plate 16 slide and move within the support frame 14. A detector 17 is provided at the bottom of the slide plate 16. The detector 17 can detect damage to the clamped pipe.
[0034] Reference Figures 2-4A uniformly distributed fixed rod 2 is fixedly connected through and fixedly connected to the top center of the drive machine tool 1. A first spring 3 is fitted at both ends of the outer ring of the fixed rod 2. A fixed plate 4 is slidably connected through and slidably connected to both ends of the outer ring of the fixed rod 2, and the fixed plate 4 is slidably connected to the drive machine tool 1. By moving the two fixed plates 4 away from each other, the fixed plate 4 slides on the fixed rod 2, thereby compressing the first spring 3, allowing for rapid clamping and release of the pipe, greatly shortening the operation time and improving the inspection efficiency. A rotating disk 5 is rotatably connected through and rotatably connected to one side of one fixed plate 4. A slider 7 is fixedly connected through and rotatably connected to the output end of one servo motor 6 through the rotating disk 5, and the slider 7 is rotatably connected to the rotating disk 5. A uniformly distributed sliding rod 8 is slidably connected through and slidably connected to one side of the slider 7, and the sliding rod 8 is slidably connected to the rotating disk 5. A connecting rod 9 is fixedly connected to one end of each sliding rod 8, and a limit rod 24 is slidably connected to one end of each connecting rod 9. The inner limit rod 24... Each part is equipped with a support component. Driven by the servo motor 6, the slider 7 slides within the rotating disk 5, thereby allowing the slide rod 8 to slide on the rotating disk 5, providing stable multi-point support and ensuring that the sensor remains in contact with the measured surface during detection, thus improving detection accuracy. The top of the drive machine tool 1 is equipped with an adjustment component. The support component includes a third spring 25, which is located inside the limit rod 24. Both ends of the third spring 25 are fixedly connected to the bearing rod 26, and the bearing rod 26 passes through and slides through the connecting rod 9. One end of the limit rod 24 is fixedly connected to the support rod 10, and the output end of the servo motor 6 on the other side passes through the fixed plate 4 and is equipped with a transmission rod 11. The outer ring of the transmission rod 11 is fitted with a second spring 12. By allowing the bearing rod 26 to slide into the limit rod 24, the third spring 25 is compressed, thereby allowing the limit rod 24 to slide out of the connecting rod 9, which simplifies maintenance and reduces the long-term operating cost of the equipment.
[0035] Reference Figure 1The output end of the push rod motor 15 passes through the support frame 14 and is fixedly connected to a slide plate 16. The slide plate 16 and the support frame 14 are connected through and slidably. A connecting frame 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the slide plate 16. A through tube 19 is slidably connected to the top of the connecting frame 18. A brush 20 is provided at the bottom of the through tube 19. By sliding the slide plate 16, the connecting frame 18 slides, allowing the brush 20 to squeeze the through tube 19, thus causing the through tube 19 to slide on the connecting frame 18, thereby improving the detection signal. To improve the quality, sensitivity, and resolution of damage detection, a telescopic tube 21 is connected to one end of the outer wall of the core tube 19 and is also connected to the connecting frame 18. A reagent box 22 is connected to one end of the telescopic tube 21 and is also connected to the top of the reagent box 22 and is also connected to the top of the reagent box 22. Driven by the vacuum pump 23, the reagent in the reagent box 22 is transported from the telescopic tube 21 to the core tube 19, thereby ensuring that the coupling agent is evenly coated on the surface of the tube and improving the accuracy and consistency of the detection.
[0036] Working principle: By allowing the bearing rod 26 to slide into the limiting rod 24, the third spring 25 is compressed, causing the limiting rod 24 to slide into the connecting rod 9. Subsequently, the rebound of the third spring 25 causes the bearing rod 26 to slide out of the limiting rod 24 and into the connecting rod 9, thus fixing the connecting rod 9. This limits the required support rod 10 to the slide rod 8. Then, the two fixing plates 4 are moved away from each other, allowing the fixing plates 4 to slide on the drive machine tool 1, thereby sliding on the fixing rod 2 and compressing the first spring 3. The pipe to be inspected is then slid out of the support rod 10. Subsequently, the slider 7 rotates within the rotating disk 5, causing the slide rod 8 to slide on the slider 7 and the rotating disk 5, allowing the support rod 10 to contact the inner wall of the pipe, thus fixing the pipe at multiple points. Finally, the rebound of the first spring 3 resets the fixing plate 4, thus fixing the two fixed plates 10 to the same position. The fixed plates 4 are brought closer together, allowing the protective block 13 to contact the tube. This causes the transmission rod 11 to slide into the fixed plate 4, compressing the second spring 12. The rebound of the second spring 12 then fixes and limits the tube to be tested. The rotation of the transmission rod 11 causes the rotating disk 5 to rotate on one side of the fixed plate 4, which in turn causes the tube to rotate between the fixed plates 4. The sliding of the support frame 14 and the up-and-down sliding of the slide plate 16 allow the brush 20 to contact the tube first, allowing the core tube 19 to slide on the connecting frame 18. Simultaneously, the vacuum pump 23 drives the reagents stored in the reagent box 22 to be transported into the telescopic tube 21 and then into the core tube 19, allowing the brush 20 to evenly apply the reagents to the tube. Finally, the support frame 14 slides a specified distance, allowing the detector 17 to perform damage detection on the clamped tube.
