The probe 11 is supported by means capable of freely rotating in the height direction in order to secure the close contact with the steel pipe 1, and at the same time, the holder 10 also supports the contact portion of the steel pipe 1. Since the probe can follow freely in the longitudinal and lateral directions, it will bend freely unless the entire surface of the probe is placed on the steel pipe, so the probe 11 must be raised and retracted at a position that does not touch the pipe end. I won't. As a probe holding mechanism, there is a mechanism disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-90958. Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-90958 is a probe holding mechanism in which a universal joint is inserted between the probe holding portion and the vertical tracking mechanism.

In order to imitate the upper surface of the
The manipulator 9 must be lowered at a timing when the entire surface of the probe 11 is surely placed on the upper surface of the steel pipe 1 because it can freely follow in the left-right direction. In the conventional apparatus in which the pipe end detector 19 detects the pipe end and the manipulator 9 descends to start the flaw detection at the start of flaw detection, in the conventional device, the probe is pierced at the pipe end due to the detection accuracy of the detector. 11
In order to prevent breakage of the pipe, the pipe end detector 19 must be installed at a position where it can be surely started to detect flaws slightly from the pipe end, and an undetected portion is generated at the pipe end.

Further, even at the final end of the flaw detection, it is possible to freely follow it. Therefore, if the manipulator is lowered to the final end, it will be free when the probe partially touches the pipe end due to its own weight copying. It will bend and it will not be possible to make a good copy. Therefore, the probe has to be raised before the final end, and an undetected portion is generated at the pipe end. Further, there is a problem that the pipe end portion is bent and vibrated more than the body portion, and the flaw cannot be reliably detected due to the followability of the probe. Further, the probe holding mechanism disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-90958 only solves the problem of the probe with respect to vertical and horizontal displacement of the steel pipe, and cannot solve this problem. The present invention is an ultrasonic flaw detection device which solves this problem and is capable of performing flaw detection on the pipe end portion reliably and capable of flaw detection up to the end portion of the pipe end.

FIGS. 3E and 3F are diagrams showing flaw detection of the body. In FIGS. 3E and 3F, the moving base 3 in which all the manipulators 9 are free and the probe 11 is resting on the steel pipe 1 by its own weight is stopped in a direction opposite to the moving direction of the steel pipe 1. While performing body flaw detection at a low speed, it moves to the initial position and stops. At this time, all the probes 11 can freely follow in the height direction, the longitudinal direction, and the left-right direction, and even if the flaw detection speed is higher than the flaw detection speed at the pipe end portion, reliable flaw detection can be performed by following the upper surface of the steel pipe 11. . The moving speed of the moving base 3 is set so that it can reach the initial position of the moving base 3 before the bottom end reaches the top end initial position.

FIGS. 3G and 3H are diagrams showing flaw detection of the bottom end portion. In FIGS. 3G and 3H, first, the bottom end detection proximity sensor 14 included in the holder 10 supporting the first probe 11 detects the bottom end, and the attaching / detaching means (electromagnetic clutch) 13 moves up and down. The drive shaft 8 and the manipulator 9 are connected. In this state, the manipulator 9 is connected via the drive shaft 8 to the elevating and lowering drive means 20 which is not driven, so that the first probe 11 is fixed on the steel pipe 1 at the height of its own weight. The probe 11 at the tip is freely movable by the holder 10 in the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction of the steel pipe 1.

Next, the driving means (motor) 7 mounted on the elevating frame 2 drives to move the moving base 3 in the moving direction of the steel pipe 1 at a speed slower than the moving speed of the steel pipe 1. By moving at a speed lower than the moving speed of the steel pipe 1, the first probe 11 moves at a speed lower than the moving speed of the steel pipe 1 with respect to the steel pipe 1, so that the vertical position is fixed. Since the water coupling (not shown) is stable, the flaw detection can be surely performed only by following the holder 10 at the tip in the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction.

FIG. 3 (I) is a view showing the next steel pipe receiving preparation. In FIG. 3 (I), the moving base 3 moves at a high speed in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the steel pipe 1 with the manipulator 9 raised, and stops at the initial position to complete one cycle,
The next steel pipe can be accepted. In the flaw detection of the top end portion, the manipulators may be mounted on the steel pipe and sequentially fixed in height while the movable base is continuously moved to perform flaw detection. At the bottom end, the steel pipe may be stopped once and the manipulator may be moved only.

1. A steel pipe extending in the longitudinal direction of a steel pipe by suspending a movable base that can move forward and backward, and a screw screw and a motor for moving the movable base, which are suspended from an elevating frame that is movable up and down according to the size of the steel pipe. The movable base is provided with a pair of lifting drive shafts, a supporting arm is installed on the lifting drive shafts, and a manipulator holding an ultrasonic probe through a holder is attached to the tip of a clutch. Installed via the manipulator, the position of the manipulator can be fixed at an arbitrary height, and the front and rear surfaces of the holder are equipped with proximity sensors for detecting the pipe end. Locally submerged ultrasonic flaw detector.
