Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of non-destructive testing equipment technology, and in particular to a multi-functional fixture for a water immersion ultrasonic non-destructive testing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] A fixture is a device used in mechanical manufacturing to fix a workpiece in the correct position for operation or inspection; it can also be called a clamp. In a broader sense, any device used to quickly, conveniently, and safely install a workpiece at any stage of the manufacturing process can be called a fixture.
[0003] During water immersion ultrasonic testing, the shapes of different products vary depending on the needs. Ordinary clamps, such as those with integrated pressure plates, can effectively clamp regular materials, such as square materials, and deliver them to the inspection area. However, for irregularly shaped items, due to different interference factors such as surface roughness, cleanliness, and different shapes and specifications, the clamping force varies. Therefore, when clamping relatively smooth or large-diameter items, they are prone to slipping, causing them to fail to be delivered to the correct position in the inspection area. This leads to subsequent mis-detection, missed detection, or even interruption of the automated testing process. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems and to provide a multifunctional fixture for a water immersion ultrasonic non-destructive testing device.
[0005] This utility model provides a multi-functional fixture for a water immersion ultrasonic non-destructive testing equipment. The fixture includes: a fixture adjustment connector 1, an outer baffle and an inner multi-functional clamping plate connector 2, a track fixture connector 3, an inner multi-functional clamping plate 4, a track 5, a worktable 6, and an outer baffle 7.
[0006] The clamp adjustment connector 1 is connected to the outer baffle and the inner multi-functional clamp 2. The track clamp connector 3 is located below the worktable 6. The inner multi-functional clamp 4 is connected to the outer baffle 7. The track 5 is located below the worktable 6.
[0007] The clamp adjustment connector 1 has three connection holes, and the clamp length can be controlled by inserting bolts at different positions.
[0008] The outer baffle and inner multi-functional clamp connector 2 is a structure used to fasten the outer baffle and the inner multi-functional clamp, and at the same time, it allows the inner multi-functional clamp to be detachable and replaceable.
[0009] The track clamp connector 3 allows for adjustment of the clamp spacing by changing the clamps and fastening them on different tracks, thus accommodating items of various sizes to be clamped.
[0010] Compared to traditional clamps, the internal multi-functional clamp 4 can hold a wider variety of items and provides a more secure grip. It is made of a material with a high coefficient of friction and high durability, or a special material tailored to specific needs.
[0011] Track 5 can be used to adjust the clamp spacing, thus accommodating items of varying diameters. The track is larger than the upper part of the clamp to facilitate its sliding and replacement.
[0012] The worktable 6 houses the fixture structure and can be customized to meet specific requirements. Therefore, the worktable is made of stainless steel or other alloy materials.
[0013] The outer baffle 7 serves to protect the internal multi-functional clamping plate and forms a secure structure with it. Therefore, the outer baffle needs to be made of a material with high corrosion resistance and durability.
[0014] Advantages of this utility model:
[0015] The multi-functional clamp for the water immersion ultrasonic non-destructive testing equipment described in this utility model can be freely replaced according to needs. The clamp spacing can be adjusted via a track to accommodate items of different diameters. The clamp itself can be adjusted vertically via the clamp adjustment connector as needed. Important components such as the clamps are easily disassembled. The clamp has few overall components, making it relatively convenient to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to specific implementation schemes, but it is not limited to the present invention. The structures, proportions, sizes, etc. shown in the accompanying drawings are only used to complement the content disclosed in the specification, so as to enable those skilled in the art to understand and read, and are not intended to limit the implementation conditions of the present invention. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modification of the structure, change of the proportion relationship or adjustment of the size, without affecting the effect and purpose that the present invention can produce, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in the present invention.
[0022] like Figure 1-3 As shown, to achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: Specifically, it relates to a multifunctional fixture for a water immersion ultrasonic non-destructive testing equipment, the fixture comprising: a fixture adjustment connector 1; an external baffle and an internal multifunctional clamping plate connector 2; a track fixture connector 3; an internal multifunctional clamping plate 4; a track 5; a worktable 6; and an external baffle 7.
[0023] There are three adjustment connectors for the clamp 1. Inserting a hexagonal screw at the first connector will minimize its length, while inserting it at the bottom will maximize its length. There are two connectors 2 connecting the outer baffle and the internal multi-functional clamp plate, both secured with hexagonal screws. To remove the internal multi-functional clamp plate 4, simply remove the two hexagonal screws and replace it as needed. The track clamp connector 3 is also secured with hexagonal screws. To adjust the spacing, remove the hexagonal screws, place the clamp on another track, and secure it with hexagonal screws. The internal multi-functional clamp plate 4 is determined based on actual needs. For clamping specific profiles, clamps of other shapes can be used. Its material depends on the items being clamped; generally, a material with a high coefficient of friction and high durability should be selected. The track 5 needs to have a maximum diameter that can accommodate or exceed the maximum diameter of the upper clamp, but to ensure the stability of the clamp during track operation, its diameter deviation should not be too large. 6. The worktable, while driving the clamping mechanism below, can be specially modified to meet specific needs if combined with a robotic arm. 7. The outer baffle protects the inner baffle from influences other than those affecting the gripping of items, and also secures the internal multi-functional clamping plate 4; therefore, it should be made of high-performance materials.
[0024] When the clamping diameter is small and the overall time consumption is desired to be short, the clamping distance can be adjusted by changing part 3 of the track clamping connector. Additionally, the hexagonal screw on clamping adjustment connector 1 should be placed at the top to ensure the shortest clamping length. Conversely, adjustments can be made according to actual needs.
[0025] Any matters not covered in this utility model are common knowledge.
[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
