Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel pipe inspection technology, specifically a visual inspection device for the outer wall of steel pipes. Background Technology
[0002] In core industrial sectors such as petrochemicals, oil and gas transportation, building structures, and machinery manufacturing, steel pipes are key components for fluid transportation and structural support. The quality of their outer walls directly determines the safety, reliability, and service life of equipment. During rolling, handling, storage, and pretreatment, steel pipe outer walls are prone to defects such as cracks, dents, scratches, and corrosion. If these defects are not detected in time, they may lead to major safety accidents such as fluid leakage and structural collapse. Therefore, efficient and accurate visual inspection of steel pipe outer walls is an indispensable key link in industrial production. When using visual inspection equipment to inspect steel pipes of the same length but different diameters, the lack of corresponding impurity cleaning components in the inspection equipment causes impurities attached to the steel pipes to obscure the true defects (iron filings, dust, and other impurities are easily left on the surface of the steel pipes after production), or to form shadow features similar to cracks and dents in the visual imaging, thereby reducing the accuracy of the equipment in inspecting steel pipes. In order to address the above problems, the inventors have proposed a visual inspection device based on the outer wall of steel pipes to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The equipment available to those skilled in the art is not structurally modified in this paper. Therefore, those skilled in the art are familiar with its working principle and can apply it skillfully based on their professional knowledge. Thus, this paper will not elaborate on it further. At the same time, this solution aims to protect the physical structure, but does not protect the circuit and software control.

It is worth emphasizing that although this solution does not describe the electronic control program in detail, those skilled in the art can be familiar with and apply it based on their professional knowledge.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution and setting an auxiliary spring 45, the arc plate 44 can be driven to lift and lower in conjunction with the miniature electric actuator 43.
[0020] A second motor 41 is provided at the center of the side end of the transparent protective cover 11. The output end of the second motor 41 passes through the transparent protective cover 11 and is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 4.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the second working motor 41 is started, thereby causing the fixedly connected rotating shaft 4 to drive the steel pipe to rotate, thus achieving comprehensive testing.
[0022] Auxiliary plates 34 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the protective shell 33 near the top. A return spring 35 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the auxiliary plate 34, and the bottom end of the return spring 35 is fixedly connected to the annular plate 32.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the auxiliary plate 34 in conjunction with the reset spring 35, the protective shell 33 can achieve the effect of lifting and lowering with the cooperation of the inclined platform 37 and the auxiliary wheel 25.
[0024] A lead screw 22 is rotatably connected between the side walls of the support frame 2 and below the support plate 21, and the lead screw 22 is threadedly rotatably connected to the blower head assembly 26.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, after the lead screw 22 rotates under the action of the first motor 23, the threaded rotating connection of the air nozzle assembly 26 can move horizontally (the air nozzle assembly 26 is mounted on the sliding block).
[0026] A first motor 23 is provided on the side of the support frame 2, and the output end of the first motor 23 passes through the support frame 2 and is fixedly connected to the lead screw 22.
[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the first working motor 23 is started, which causes the fixedly connected lead screw 22 to rotate, thereby driving the air nozzle assembly 26 to move horizontally.
[0028] A fan 12 is installed at the top of the transparent protective cover 11. One end of the fan 12 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe, and the other end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the air nozzle assembly 26.
[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting pipe between the fan 12 and the nozzle assembly 26 is telescopic, which makes it convenient for the nozzle assembly 26 to be used when moving.
[0030] Working Principle: When using this device, the steel pipe to be inspected is first placed inside the transparent protective cover 11, and then the steel pipe is fitted over multiple sets of arc-shaped plates 44. Simultaneously, multiple miniature electric actuators 43 are activated, causing the fixedly connected arc-shaped plates 44 to clamp the inner wall of the steel pipe, thus positioning steel pipes of different diameters. Before inspecting the outer wall of the steel pipe, the first motor 23, fan 12, and second motor 41 are activated, causing the air nozzle assembly 26 to blow air onto the steel pipe outside the rotating shaft 4. The second motor 41 is adjusted... The rotation speed and fan power of motor 12 are used to remove dust from the outer ring of the steel pipe. After the first motor 23 is working, the fixedly connected screw 22 rotates, which allows the blower head assembly 26 to move horizontally and complete the cleaning of impurities from the steel pipe. When the blower head assembly 26 moves to the CCD camera 31, its auxiliary wheel 25 moves to the inclined platform 37. Then, with the cooperation of two return springs 35, the protective shell 33 moves down to protect the CCD camera 31 and prevent direct blowing on the CCD camera 31 from causing damage. After the impurities on the surface of the steel pipe are cleaned, the outer wall of the steel pipe can be inspected using a CCD camera 31. During the inspection, the second motor 41 is required to rotate the steel pipe so that the rotating shaft 4 can rotate the steel pipe to complete the comprehensive inspection. (After the CCD camera 31 scans and inspects, it sends the scanned image to a computer program for synthesis and processing to obtain an image of the unfolded cylindrical surface, thus completing the inspection.)
[0031] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
