Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of multi-angle probes, and in particular to a multi-angle rotating probe for weld inspection. Background Technology

[0002] Weld probes are important tools in non-destructive testing (NDT) for detecting weld defects. They primarily utilize the propagation characteristics of ultrasonic waves in solids. When ultrasonic waves encounter a defect, they undergo reflection and refraction. The probe receives the reflected waves, converts them into electrical signals for processing and analysis, thereby determining the presence, location, size, and nature of defects in the weld.

[0003] In practical applications of weld flaw detection, weld probes are indeed often rotated and adjusted using angle adjustment mechanisms. While these mechanisms allow for flexible adjustment of the probe's rotation and tilt angles, enabling better alignment with the weld for inspection, they often struggle to support linear probe movement. Linear movement is crucial for comprehensive weld scanning and ensuring no areas are missed, but existing angle adjustment mechanisms often fail to adequately consider this in their design. This necessitates frequent probe repositioning or the use of additional devices to achieve linear movement during inspection, undoubtedly increasing operational complexity and time costs.

[0004] Replacing probes is also relatively complicated. Since weld inspection typically requires testing workpieces of different materials, thicknesses, and weld types, the selection and use of probes are crucial. However, in practice, replacing probes often involves complex disassembly and assembly processes, consuming significant time and effort. This not only affects inspection efficiency but may also damage the probe or equipment due to improper operation. Utility Model Content

[0009] The lower end of the rotating seat is connected to a fixed seat, and the lower end of the fixed seat is provided with a rotating disk. The rotating disk is connected to the base. A rotating lever is installed on the side wall of the fixed seat. The rotating lever is connected to the rotating seat through a gear transmission component, which drives the rotating seat to adjust the angle, thereby adjusting the angle of the weld seam detection probe.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the side wall of the base is provided with a notch, which is a mounting hole. The lower end of the base is connected to an anti-slip pad by an adhesive. The base is connected to the rotating disk by a rotating shaft.

This flexibility not only improves the comprehensiveness of the inspection but also enables the equipment to adapt to welds of different shapes and sizes, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the inspection.

[0017] The translation mechanism of the electric actuator enables the weld inspection probe to move precisely in the horizontal direction. This movement function allows the probe to be quickly positioned at any location on the weld, further improving inspection efficiency and flexibility. Simultaneously, the stability and reliability of the electric actuator ensure the stability and accuracy of the probe during movement, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy of the inspection results.

This unique design allows the T-key 10 and the T-slot 6 to cooperate in moving the weld inspection probe 13, thus allowing the probe to perform precise weld inspection at different positions.

[0026] A fixed base 4 is connected to the lower end of the rotating base 5. A rotating disk 2 is designed at the lower end of the fixed base 4, and the rotating disk 2 is connected to the base 1. A rotating lever 3 is installed on the side wall of the fixed base 4. The rotating lever 3 is connected to the rotating base 5 through a gear transmission component, thereby driving the rotating base 5 to adjust its angle, realizing the angle adjustment function of the weld inspection probe 13, and ensuring that the probe can inspect the weld from multiple angles.

[0027] A notch is provided on the side wall of base 1, which serves as a mounting hole. An anti-slip pad is attached to the lower end of base 1 via adhesive to improve the stability of the device in various working environments. Base 1 is connected to the rotating disk 2 via a shaft. The side wall of rotating disk 2 is equipped with a scale to indicate the rotation angle, allowing the operator to precisely control the probe's rotation angle, thereby improving detection accuracy.

[0028] The rotating disk 2 and the fixed base 4 are integrated into one unit, which not only reduces the weight of the fixed base 4 but also provides the necessary strength. The upper end of the fixed base 4 is C-shaped and fits into the rotating base 5, ensuring the stability of the structure. The rotating base 5 is equipped with a scale for precise control of the rotation angle, enabling the weld inspection probe 13 to be adjusted with high precision.

[0029] Multiple T-shaped grooves 6 are equidistantly distributed on the surface of the rotary seat 5.
