Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal material flaw detection technology, and in particular to an eddy current flaw detection device for the surface of metal rods. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of metal processing and quality inspection, with the increasing demands for quality in industrial production, flaw detection technology for metal bars has become increasingly important. Accurate detection of surface defects in metal bars plays a crucial role in ensuring product quality and the safe operation of equipment. High-quality flaw detection can prevent subsequent processing problems and safety hazards during use caused by hidden defects such as cracks and porosity within the metal bars, and has undeniable value for the development of numerous industries, including aerospace and machinery manufacturing.
[0003] In the past, various techniques were commonly used for flaw detection of metal bars. A common method is to directly transmit the flaw detection signal via wire to the analysis instrument. This method is simple and direct, and can achieve the transmission and analysis of the flaw detection signal to a certain extent. Other methods utilize relatively stationary signal transmission components to transmit the flaw detection signal. These components have a relatively fixed structure, lack rotation capabilities, and simply transmit the received flaw detection signal to the analysis instrument.
[0004] However, existing flaw detection signal transmission methods have significant drawbacks. Direct transmission via wires and traditional decoupled transmission methods are susceptible to interference from external factors, resulting in high noise levels and unstable signals during transmission. This affects the accuracy of the analysis instruments in analyzing and judging the flaw detection signals, making it difficult to accurately detect minute defects that may exist on the surface of metal rods.

Furthermore, the outer cylinder 2 also has multiple bearings and a coil fixing disc for stably mounting the coil and other structures inside the outer cylinder 2 without affecting signal transmission.
[0026] Specifically, the outer cylinder 2 is the main load-bearing structure of the entire device, and it is generally made of high-strength metal materials, such as stainless steel, to ensure the overall structural strength and stability of the device. The outer cylinder 2 can be a cylindrical structure to facilitate the installation and layout of internal components. A main shaft 8 is installed inside the outer cylinder 2. The main shaft 8 is usually a cylindrical metal rod that serves to support and transmit power. The yellow plate 5 is connected to the main shaft 8 by screws. One end of the main shaft 8 has a through groove 9, which is used to install the eddy current testing component 4. The shape of the through groove 9 must be compatible with the eddy current testing component 4.
[0027] The eddy current testing assembly 4 includes a probe 42, a housing 41, and the probe 42 itself. The housing 41 is typically made of plastic or metal. Plastic offers advantages such as light weight and low cost, while metal provides better protection. The housing 41 is installed within the through slot 9 of the spindle 8 and secured by bolts or clips. The probe 42 is the core component of the eddy current testing assembly; it emits and receives eddy current signals to detect defects on the surface of the metal rod.

[0030] Guide wheel assemblies 18 are provided on one side of both the front cover 16 and the rear cover 17. Each guide wheel assembly 18 typically consists of guide wheels and a support.

[0031] Working Principle: This eddy current flaw detection device for metal rod surfaces integrates its various components through a rational structural layout. Motor 3 drives the main shaft 8 to rotate via belt drive, which in turn rotates the yellow plate 5. The coil on the yellow plate 5 generates a magnetic field, which, through coupling, stably transmits the flaw detection signal detected by the eddy current flaw detection component 4 to the analysis instrument 7. Simultaneously, the copper plate 13 avoids signal interference between coil units 6, and the front guide sleeve 14, rear guide sleeve 15, and guide wheel assembly 18 ensure the smooth operation of the metal rod. The entire device effectively reduces noise during signal transmission and improves signal transmission stability. Compared to existing technologies, it can more accurately detect minute defects on the surface of metal rods, demonstrating strong practicality and innovation.
