Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of magnetic particle flaw detectors, and in particular relates to a magnetic particle flaw detector with an adjustable probe. Background Technology
[0002] Magnetic particle inspection machines utilize the fact that when ferromagnetic materials are magnetized, the magnetic field lines on and near the surface of the workpiece are locally distorted, generating a leakage magnetic field that attracts magnetic powder applied to the workpiece surface, forming a visible magnetic mark that reveals discontinuous defects. In the inspection process, the probe plays a crucial role, as it generates a magnetic field to magnetize the workpiece for subsequent magnetic particle inspection of defects.
[0003] Currently, there are many magnetic particle inspection machines on the market equipped with two probes. Compared with single-probe equipment, they can magnetize workpieces from different angles, improving the accuracy and comprehensiveness of flaw detection. However, in existing dual-probe magnetic particle inspection machines, the two probes are usually fixedly mounted on the equipment. This makes it difficult to flexibly adjust the relative position between the two probes according to the different shapes and sizes of workpieces during actual flaw detection operations. As a result, when inspecting large workpieces, the fixed-distance probes cannot cover the entire workpiece, causing some areas to be missed. For small precision workpieces, the probe spacing is too large, making it impossible to accurately locate tiny defects. In addition, frequently changing flaw detectors of different specifications to adapt to workpiece sizes not only significantly increases the company's equipment procurement costs but also reduces the efficiency of flaw detection operations and affects production progress. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a magnetic particle flaw detector with adjustable probes. Specifically, when the distance between the two flaw detectors needs to be adjusted, the motor is started, driving the threaded rod to rotate. This causes the internal threaded block to slide within the U-shaped frame's limiting groove. The sliding block and connecting plate then drive the mounting base to move relative to the probes. Under the limiting of the limiting guide rail and the limiting slider, the adjustment is smooth, achieving rapid and precise adjustment of the relative position between the two flaw detectors. This allows for adaptation to workpieces of different sizes, improves inspection efficiency, and solves the problem of difficulty in flexibly adjusting the relative position between the two probes according to workpieces of different shapes and sizes during actual flaw detection operations.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model relates to a magnetic particle flaw detector with an adjustable probe, comprising a flaw detector body and two flaw detector heads. A collection box is slidably connected inside the flaw detector body, and the front side of the collection box extends to the outside of the flaw detector body. A perforated plate is fixedly connected to the top of the flaw detector body. The model also includes:
[0007] An adjustment unit, mounted on the top of the flaw detector body, is used to adjust the relative position between two flaw detector heads; and
[0008] The mounting section is provided in two sets, and the two sets of mounting sections are respectively installed on the top of the flaw detector body. The two sets of mounting sections are respectively used for quick installation of two flaw detector heads.

[0012] A limiting component is installed at the bottom of the drive component and is used to limit the transmission component.
[0013] The two flaw detectors are mounted on their respective transmission components via mounting parts. Therefore, the movement of the transmission components drives the two flaw detectors to move, thereby adjusting the distance between the two flaw detectors.
[0014] Furthermore, the mounting part includes a mounting assembly mounted outside the transmission assembly, the transmission assembly being used to connect the transmission assembly to a corresponding flaw detector head; and
[0015] A fixing component is installed inside the transmission component and is used to quickly fix the flaw detector head;
[0016] The mounting and fixing components work together to secure the flaw detector head via a snap-fit mechanism, allowing for quick disassembly and installation of the flaw detector head.
[0017] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a U-shaped frame fixedly connected to the top of the flaw detector body. A motor is mounted on the top of the U-shaped frame, and a threaded rod is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor via a coupling. A support plate is fixedly connected to the top of the U-shaped frame. The threaded rod is rotatably connected to the support plate at the top of the U-shaped frame. An internal threaded block is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod. A limiting groove is provided at the top of the U-shaped frame. The bottom of the internal threaded block penetrates the top of the U-shaped frame and is slidably connected to the limiting groove at the top of the U-shaped frame.
[0018] The threaded rod is rotatably connected to the support plate at the top of the U-shaped frame via a bearing, and the support plate is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame by welding.
[0019] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a slider fixedly connected to the bottom of the internal thread block, and two connecting plates are rotatably connected to the bottom of the slider. Each of the two connecting plates is hinged to a mounting base on the side away from the slider.
[0020] The top of the slider is slidably connected to the inner top wall of the U-shaped frame.
[0021] Furthermore, the limiting component includes two limiting guide rails installed on the inner top wall of the U-shaped frame, and two limiting sliders are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two limiting guide rails, with two mounting seats respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding limiting sliders;
[0022] There are four limit sliders in total, and two mounting bases are fixedly connected to the corresponding two limit sliders.
[0023] Furthermore, the mounting assembly includes an L-shaped plate fixedly connected to the outer wall of the flaw detector head. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to the side of the L-shaped plate near the mounting base. A mounting groove is formed on the side of the mounting base near the L-shaped plate. The side of the mounting plate away from the L-shaped plate extends into the interior of the mounting groove and is slidably connected to the mounting groove. A plurality of support rods are fixedly connected to the side of the L-shaped plate near the mounting base. The ends of the plurality of support rods away from the L-shaped plate extend into the interior of the mounting base and are slidably connected to the mounting base.

[0025] Furthermore, the fixing component includes two sliding grooves formed inside the mounting base, each of the two sliding grooves being slidably connected to a limiting piece, and springs being fixedly connected between the inner walls of the two sliding grooves on the opposite sides and the corresponding limiting pieces, and limiting blocks being fixedly connected to the sides of the two limiting pieces on the sides that are close to each other.
[0026] The semi-circular shapes of the two limiting blocks, which are close to each other, are adapted to the semi-circular grooves opened on the front and rear sides of the mounting plate, respectively.
[0027] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0028] 1. By setting up an adjustment section, specifically when it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two flaw detectors, the motor is started to drive the threaded rod to rotate, causing the internal threaded block to slide in the U-shaped frame limit groove. Through the slider and connecting plate, the mounting base moves relative to the slider. Under the limit of the limit guide rail and the limit slider, the adjustment is smooth, thereby realizing the rapid and accurate adjustment of the relative position between the two flaw detectors, thus adapting to workpieces of different sizes and improving the inspection efficiency.
[0029] 2. By setting up an installation section, specifically when installing the flaw detector head, the mounting plate on the L-shaped plate is inserted into the mounting slot of the mounting base, and the support rod slides into the corresponding slot simultaneously. The mounting plate presses against the limiting block, causing the limiting piece to compress the spring. After reaching the correct position, the spring returns to its original position and stretches, pushing the limiting block into the groove for fixation through the limiting piece. Disassembly can be performed by pulling the L-shaped plate, thus achieving quick installation and removal of the flaw detector head. This facilitates the replacement of different types of flaw detector heads, meets diverse testing needs, reduces equipment downtime when changing flaw detector heads, and improves testing efficiency.

[0057] Both limit guide rails 231 are connected to the U-shaped frame 211 by bolts.
[0058] Mounting assembly 31 includes an L-shaped plate 311 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the flaw detector head 11. A mounting plate 312 is fixedly connected to the side of the L-shaped plate 311 near the mounting base 223. A mounting groove 313 is provided on the side of the mounting base 223 near the L-shaped plate 311.

[0061] Among them, the two limit blocks 324 are respectively adapted to the corresponding slides 321.
[0062] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: When the distance between the two flaw detector heads 11 needs to be adjusted using this device, the motor 212 is started, and its output shaft drives the threaded rod 213 to rotate. The threaded rod 213 is threadedly engaged with the internal threaded block 214, causing the internal threaded block 214 to slide in the limiting groove at the top of the U-shaped frame 211. The internal threaded block 214 drives the bottom slider 221 to move. The slider 221 is connected to the connecting plate 222 through rotation, causing the two mounting seats 223 to move relative to each other. At the same time, the mounting seats 223 are fixedly connected to the limiting slider 232. Under the limiting action of the limiting guide rail 231, they maintain smooth sliding, thereby realizing the adjustment of the distance between the two flaw detector heads 11.
[0063] During installation of the flaw detector head 11, the mounting plate 312 on the L-shaped plate 311 on the outer wall of the flaw detector head 11 is aligned with the mounting groove 313 of the mounting base 223 and inserted. At the same time, the support rod 314 also slides into the corresponding sliding groove of the mounting base 223. During the insertion process, the mounting plate 312 presses against the limiting block 324, causing the limiting piece 322 to compress the spring 323 and slide into the sliding groove 321. When the mounting plate 312 is fully inserted and its semi-circular groove is aligned with the limiting block 324, the spring 323 returns to its original position, pushing the limiting block 324 into the semi-circular groove, thereby firmly fixing the flaw detector head 11 onto the mounting base 223. The support force of the L-shaped plate 311 is increased by the support rod 314. When disassembling the flaw detector head 11, simply pull the mounting plate 312 outward through the L-shaped plate 311 to disengage it from the mounting groove 313, and the flaw detector head 11 can be easily removed. When inspecting the workpiece, place the workpiece on the perforated plate and spray or impregnate the workpiece surface with magnetic powder suspension. Excess magnetic powder suspension will fall into the collection box through the holes in the perforated plate for collection, reducing resource waste. Then, the flaw detector head 11 generates a magnetic field after being powered on, and uses electromagnetic induction to generate an eddy current magnetic field in the workpiece to perform flaw detection on the workpiece.
