Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automatic ultrasonic flaw detection equipment for rolling mills, and in particular to an external ultrasonic probe mounting bracket for water pipes. Background Technology

[0002] When performing ultrasonic testing on the surface of rolls, a coupling agent must be placed between the probe and the roll surface to avoid ultrasonic wave attenuation. Automatic ultrasonic testing equipment for rolls typically uses industrial water as the coupling agent. To ensure a continuous water flow from the probe side during testing, manufacturers usually place a water pipe inside the probe drive mechanism to bring external industrial water to the probe side. Because the probe moves back and forth during testing, the water pipe is usually placed in a chain on the drive mechanism. This water pipe, placed in the chain, is constantly bent at the chain's bends as the probe moves back and forth, inevitably leading to breakage over time. Once the water pipe breaks, it must be replaced immediately; otherwise, testing will be impossible.

[0003] Because the tank chain is mounted on the flaw detector support frame, and the flaw detector support frame contains not only water pipes but also various signal cables connected to the probe, it is inconvenient to disassemble the tank chain and water pipes when the water pipes break and need to be replaced. Moreover, water may damage the signal cables after the water pipes break.

[0004] In addition, because the probe holder adopts a fully enclosed design, it is difficult to detect if the water pipe joint connected to the probe holder leaks. When the water leaking from inside the probe holder goes over the cable joint, it will cause a short circuit. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the technical problems in existing technologies, such as the tank chain being mounted on the flaw detector support frame, making it inconvenient to disassemble the tank chain and water pipe, the possibility of water damage to the signal cable if the water pipe breaks, and the difficulty in detecting leaks in the water pipe joint connected to the probe mounting frame due to its fully enclosed design, this utility model provides an external water pipe ultrasonic probe mounting frame.

[0006] The external ultrasonic probe mounting bracket for water pipes provided by this utility model adopts the following technical solution: An external ultrasonic probe mounting bracket for water pipes includes a tank chain support frame and a flaw detector support frame mounted on the upper part of the tank chain support frame, a probe mounting bracket laterally movable on the flaw detector support frame, a tank chain mounted on the side of the probe mounting bracket and the tank chain support frame, one end of the tank chain being fixedly connected to the side of the probe mounting bracket via an upper connecting component, and the other end being fixedly connected to the side of the tank chain support frame via a lower connecting component, and a water pipe mounted inside the tank chain, one end of the water pipe being fixedly connected to the side wall of the probe mounting bracket via a side connecting component, and the other end extending outward after passing through the tank chain.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the tank chain and water pipe can be easily disassembled by setting up upper connecting components, lower connecting components and side connecting components. Since the tank chain and water pipe are set outside the flaw detector support frame, they will not come into contact with the cables on the flaw detector support frame. When the water pipe moving part leaks, the water will not flow onto the signal cable and will not damage the signal cable.

[0008] Furthermore, the tank chain support frame is provided with an intermediate layer plate at the top, the flaw detector support frame is fixedly installed on the upper part of the intermediate layer plate, and the lower connecting assembly is provided on the side of the intermediate layer plate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, it is easy to install the flaw detector support frame and the lower connecting assembly on the tank track support frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the flaw detector support frame is also equipped with a signal cable that connects to the probe mounting bracket.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, signals are transmitted via signal cables during use.

[0012] Furthermore, the side connection assembly includes an outer nut and an inner nut that mates with the outer nut; and a quick-connect water pipe connector is provided on the side of the probe holder.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation position of the quick-connect water pipe is fixed by using an outer nut and an inner nut together.

[0014] Furthermore, the probe mounting bracket has a water inlet hole on its side, and a quick-connect water pipe is fixedly installed in the water inlet hole. The outer nut is screwed into the end of the quick-connect water pipe located outside the probe mounting bracket, and the inner nut is screwed into the end of the quick-connect water pipe located inside the probe mounting bracket.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution: the quick connector of the water pipe is fixedly installed in the water inlet of the probe mounting bracket by the outer nut and the inner nut, and the end of the water pipe is inserted into the drain outlet, so that the water pipe and the side wall of the probe mounting bracket are fixedly connected.

[0016] Furthermore, the upper connecting assembly includes a tank chain connecting plate; a first fixing screw and a second fixing screw connected to the tank chain connecting plate.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the tank chain connecting plate is used in conjunction with the first fixing screw and the second fixing screw to connect the tank chain connecting plate to the probe fixing frame and the side of the tank chain.

[0018] Furthermore, the side of the tank chain connecting plate and the side of the probe fixing bracket are locked together by a first fixing screw, and the bottom of the tank chain connecting plate is locked together with the upper end of the tank chain by a second fixing screw.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the structure is simple in design and can quickly connect the upper end of the tank chain to the side wall of the probe fixing frame.

[0020] Furthermore, the lower connecting assembly includes a tank chain support plate fixedly installed on the side of the intermediate layer plate and a third fixing screw and a fourth fixing screw installed on the tank chain support plate. The intermediate layer plate and the tank chain support plate are fixedly connected by the fourth fixing screw, and the lower end of the tank chain and the upper wall of the tank chain support plate are fixedly connected by the third fixing screw.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the structure is simple in design and can quickly connect the lower end of the tank track to the side of the middle layer plate.

[0022] Furthermore, a drain outlet is provided on the bottom wall of the probe mounting bracket.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution: by setting up a drain outlet, when water leaks from the water pipe inside the probe holder, water is discharged outward through the drain outlet, preventing short circuit faults in the cable joints inside the probe holder.

[0024] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model, by setting up an upper connecting component, a lower connecting component, and a side connecting component, allows for easy replacement of a water pipe when it breaks. One end of the water pipe is pulled out from the quick-connect fitting on the side of the probe holder. The two second fixing screws on the tank chain connecting plate and the two third fixing screws on the tank chain support plate are loosened. The tank chain and water pipe are then removed together. The tank chain is laid flat, and the damaged water pipe is replaced. After replacement, one end of the tank chain is fixed to the tank chain connecting plate using the two second fixing screws, and the other end is fixed to the tank chain support plate using the two third fixing screws. The replaced water pipe is then inserted into the quick-connect fitting on the side of the probe holder. This design improves the efficiency of water pipe replacement. Furthermore, since the tank chain and water pipe are not mounted on the flaw detector support frame, they will not come into contact with the cables on the flaw detector support frame. In the event of a leak in the moving part of the water pipe, water will not flow onto the signal cable, thus preventing damage to the signal cable.

[0025] 2. By incorporating a drain outlet, water leaks out through the drain outlet when the water pipe inside the probe holder leaks, preventing short circuits at the cable connectors inside the probe holder. During use, if water is found flowing from the drain outlet at the bottom of the probe holder, it indicates a leak in the water pipe connector inside the probe holder, allowing the user to promptly inspect and repair the leaking area.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, an external ultrasonic probe mounting bracket for water pipes includes a tank chain support frame and a flaw detector support frame. The tank chain support frame has a middle layer plate 702 at its top, and the flaw detector support frame is fixedly mounted on the upper part of the middle layer plate 702. A probe mounting bracket 301 is laterally movably mounted on the flaw detector support frame. A signal cable connected to the probe mounting bracket 301 is also mounted on the flaw detector support frame. A tank chain 303 is mounted on the side of the probe mounting bracket 301 and the middle layer plate 702. Specifically, one end of the tank chain 303 is fixedly connected to the side of the probe mounting bracket 301 via an upper connecting component, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side of the middle layer plate 702 via a lower connecting component. The tank chain 303 allows water in the water pipe 307 to flow smoothly. The water pipe 307 inside 03 has one end fixedly connected to the side wall of the probe mounting bracket 301 via a side connecting assembly, and the other end extends outward after passing through the tank chain 303. During the transverse reciprocating movement of the probe mounting bracket 301, the water in the water pipe 307 can flow smoothly through the tank chain 303. By setting the upper connecting assembly, lower connecting assembly, and side connecting assembly, the tank chain 303 is set on the side of the probe mounting bracket 301 and the intermediate layer plate 702. This structure facilitates the disassembly of the tank chain 303 and the water pipe 307. Furthermore, since the tank chain 303 and the water pipe 307 are set outside the flaw detector support frame, they will not come into contact with the cables on the flaw detector support frame. When a leak occurs in the moving part of the water pipe 307, the water will not flow onto the signal cable and will not damage the signal cable.

[0030] Specifically, refer to Figure 3As shown, the side connection assembly includes an outer nut 401 and an inner nut 402 that mates with the outer nut 401. The probe mounting bracket 301 has a water inlet hole on its side, into which a quick-connect water pipe connector 302 is fixedly installed. The outer nut 401 is screwed onto the end of the quick-connect water pipe connector 302 located outside the probe mounting bracket 301, and the inner nut 402 is screwed onto the end of the quick-connect water pipe connector 302 located inside the probe mounting bracket 301. The quick-connect water pipe connector 302 is fixedly installed in the water inlet hole of the probe mounting bracket 301 by the outer nut 401 and the inner nut 402. The end of the water pipe 307 is inserted into the drain outlet 306, thus forming a fixed connection between the water pipe 307 and the side wall of the probe mounting bracket 301. This structural design allows for easy disassembly of the water pipe 307 by simply pulling it out when it needs to be replaced.

[0031] Moreover, referencing Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the upper connecting assembly includes a tank chain connecting plate 304; a first fixing screw 501 and a second fixing screw 601 connected to the tank chain connecting plate 304. The side of the tank chain connecting plate 304 and the side of the probe mounting bracket 301 are locked together by the first fixing screw 501, and the bottom of the tank chain connecting plate 304 is locked together with the upper end of the tank chain 303 by the second fixing screw 601. This structure is simple in design and can quickly connect the upper end of the tank chain 303 to the side wall of the probe mounting bracket 301.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the lower connecting assembly includes a tank chain support plate 305 fixedly installed on the side of the intermediate layer plate 702, and a third fixing screw 602 and a fourth fixing screw 701 installed on the tank chain support plate 305. The intermediate layer plate 702 and the tank chain support plate 305 are fixedly connected by the fourth fixing screw 701, and the lower end of the tank chain 303 and the upper wall of the tank chain support plate 305 are fixedly connected by the third fixing screw 602. This structure is simple in design and can quickly connect the lower end of the tank chain 303 to the side of the intermediate layer plate 702.

[0033] When water pipe 307 breaks and needs to be replaced, pull one end of water pipe 307 out of the water pipe quick connector 302 on the side of probe mounting bracket 301, loosen the two second fixing screws 601 on tank chain connecting plate 304, loosen the two screws and third fixing screws 602 on tank chain support plate 305, remove tank chain 303 together with water pipe 307, then lay tank chain 303 flat and replace the broken water pipe 307. After replacing water pipe 307, fix one end of tank chain 303 to tank chain connecting plate 304 with two second fixing screws 601, and fix the other end of tank chain 303 to tank chain support plate 305 with two screws and third fixing screws 602. Insert one end of the replaced water pipe 307 into the water pipe quick connector 302 on the side of probe mounting bracket 301. Water pipe replacement is complete. During flaw detection, the probe holder 301 moves back and forth, causing the tank chain 303 to move synchronously, ensuring a continuous flow of water from the probe holder 301 and thus ensuring smooth flaw detection. This invention, by setting side connecting components, upper connecting components, and lower connecting components, allows for quick disassembly of the tank chain 303 and water pipe 307, improving the replacement efficiency of the water pipe 307. Furthermore, since the tank chain 303 and water pipe 307 are not mounted on the flaw detector support frame, they will not come into contact with the cables on the flaw detector support frame. If a leak occurs in the moving part of the water pipe 307, water will not flow onto the signal cable, thus preventing damage to the signal cable.

[0034] The second embodiment of this utility model is described below. Figure 1 As shown, a drain outlet 306 is provided on the bottom wall of the probe holder 301. By providing the drain outlet 306, when the water pipe 307 inside the probe holder 301 leaks, the water is discharged outward through the drain outlet 306, preventing short circuit faults in the cable joints inside the probe holder 301.

[0035] If water is found flowing out of the drain port 306 at the bottom of the probe holder 301 during use, it means that the water pipe 307 joint inside the probe holder 301 is leaking. At this time, the user can promptly check and repair the leaking part.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. The various components mentioned in this utility model are common technologies in the existing field. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
