[0028] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 and Figure 3The top of the housing 1 is provided with a support cover 3, and a probe adapter hole 301 is opened in the middle of the top of the support cover 3. Multiple sets of support covers 3 with different models of probe adapter holes 301 can be produced to adapt to different probes for use. Both ends of the bottom of the adjustment frame 2 are provided with adjustment blocks 302. A servo motor 303 is installed at the front end of one side of the housing 1. The output end of the servo motor 303 is connected to an adjustment screw 304 that passes through the inside of a set of adjustment blocks 302. The servo motor 303 can drive the adjustment screw 304 to rotate, so that the adjustment frame 2 can be adjusted left and right. The rear end of the housing 1 is provided with a positioning rod 305 that passes through the inside of another set of adjustment blocks 302, which has a positioning effect, making the adjustment of the adjustment frame 2 more stable and allowing for uniform spraying of the probe.
[0029] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The discharge pipe 102 is equipped with a control valve to control its on / off state. A control panel is located at the rear of the housing 1. Anti-slip pads are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the housing 1. A through hole is provided at the top of the adjusting frame 2 at the position of the nozzle 203 for easy installation and use of the nozzle 203. The liquid pump 201 and the liquid collection pipe 202 are connected to the adjusting frame 2 by bolts, allowing the liquid pump 201 and the liquid collection pipe 202 to be installed inside the adjusting frame 2. The hopper 104 is detachably connected to the housing 1 through the mounting hole 103. Two sets of hoppers 104 can be installed on both sides of the housing 1. Each set of hoppers 104 has a handle on one side and a slot on the top of each set of hoppers 104 to facilitate pouring the coupling agent into the hopper 104.

Both sides of the V-shaped collection hopper 101 have movable holes, and the extraction pipe 205 passes through the movable holes.
[0030] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 4 The support cover 3 has a mounting ring at its bottom, and the bottom of the outer side of the mounting ring has a chamfer, which allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the support cover 3 and the housing 1. The support cover 3 and the housing 1 are detachably connected. The servo motor 303 is connected to the housing 1 by bolts, so that the servo motor 303 can be installed on one side of the housing 1.

Another set of adjusting blocks 302 has positioning holes inside, and the positioning rod 305 passes through the positioning holes, which serves as a limit adjustment and makes the adjustment of the adjusting frame 2 more stable, allowing for uniform spraying of the probe.
[0031] Working principle: Before use, select a support cover 3 with a probe adapter hole 301 that matches the spraying probe, and install the support cover 3 on the top of the housing 1. Pour the coupling agent into the hopper 104, insert the extraction tube 205 into the hopper 104, and install the hopper 104 into the mounting hole 103. When in use, turn on the power, insert the probe into the probe adapter hole 301, and use the pump 201 and extraction tube 205 to extract the coupling agent from the hopper 204 and then deliver it to the pump. The feed pipe 204 delivers the coupling agent to the inside of the collection pipe 202, and the coupling agent can be sprayed onto the probe through the nozzle 203. The servo motor 303 can drive the adjusting screw 304 to rotate. The adjusting screw 304 cooperates with the threaded holes inside a set of adjusting blocks 302 to adjust the adjusting frame 2 left and right, so that the coupling agent can be evenly sprayed onto the probe. Excess coupling agent will fall directly into the inside of the V-shaped collection hopper 101, which improves the spraying effect on the probe and facilitates the use of the ultrasonic flaw detector.
