Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an ultrasonic flaw detector and an ultrasonic flaw detector for use in ultrasonic flaw inspection that examines the presence of weld defects in joint welds such as stainless steel pipes.
Priority is claimed based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2007-249819, filed in Japan on September 26, 2007, and the contents thereof are incorporated herein.
Inspection of joint welds and the like of pipes by ultrasonic flaw is known, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-47232, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-74712, and the like.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-74712 proposes a very preferable ultrasonic flaw detector for inspecting weld defects of small pipe welds.
However, in the ultrasonic flaw detector, since the injection mechanism portion for rotating the probe along the outer circumferential surface of the pipe to be inspected is large and the injection mechanism portion is configured to be fixed to the pipe, a pipe disposed near a ceiling or a wall in the building; It is difficult to apply to piping.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to make the probe and the injection mechanism part which rotates it along the outer circumferential surface of the pipe as small as possible so that it can be applied to pipes disposed near the ceiling or the wall of a building.
MEANS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM The present inventors completed this invention as a result of intensive research in order to solve the said subject. That is, the present invention is as follows.
(1) A probe having a head for irradiating ultrasonic pipe to the pipe while receiving the reflected wave while touching the outer peripheral surface of the pipe to be inspected, and detachably mounted to the pipe,
And a pair of opening and closing levers for holding and holding the pipe connected to two points on its outer circumferential surface, the lever being biased in a normally closed direction. It is a probe.
(2) The ultrasonic probe according to (1), wherein the head is disposed between the pair of lever points.
(3) The said (1) or (2) WHEREIN: The surface of the head which contact | connects the outer peripheral surface of the said pipe is a concave-shaped curved surface curvature corresponded to a pipe outer diameter, Comprising: It is comprised so that a pipe may be accommodated in the said recessed part. Ultrasonic flaw detector characterized in that there is.
(4) a rotating holder for maintaining the detachable probe for ultrasonic flaw inspection as described in (1) to (3) above and rotating it at the same speed as the central axis of the pipe in a mounted state; A driving unit for rotating the rotating holder; And a pair of grips configured to detachably hold the pipe.
(5) The motor according to the above (4), wherein the drive unit is capable of forward and reverse rotation; A gear group for transmitting the rotation of the motor to the rotation holder; A clutch provided between the gears of the gear group to close the rotation from the motor; An encoder for detecting rotation of the motor; A switch for switching forward and reverse rotation of the motor; And a connector to which a power supply line for driving the motor and an output line from the encoder are connected, and these are housed in one case.
According to the ultrasonic flaw detector according to the present invention, not only can it be made very compact, but it can also be manually mounted on the pipe to be inspected and manually rotated along the outer circumferential surface of the pipe to perform ultrasonic flaw inspection. Even if the space required is small, it can be applied to pipes installed near ceilings and walls in buildings.
According to the ultrasonic flaw detection scanner of the present invention, the flaw holder can be operated while the flaw holder is mounted on the flaw holder, and the flaw can be automatically rotated at constant speed around the pipe to perform the ultrasonic flaw inspection. Therefore, the time required for the inspection can be shortened and accurate measurement results can be obtained, thus eliminating the need for a separate inspection function.
In addition, the scanner can be configured to be smaller than the scanning mechanism portion of the conventional ultrasonic flaw detection apparatus, so that the scanner can be downsized even in the use state in which the flaw detector is mounted, so that the ultrasonic flaw inspection in a narrow space can be performed.

The transducer according to the present embodiment includes a head 1, a
The head 1 sends an ultrasonic wave to the pipe P to be inspected and receives the reflected wave. The head 1 is made of a synthetic resin whose outer shape is a rectangular parallelepiped, in which a transmitting piezoelectric element and a receiving piezoelectric element are accommodated. The head 1 is connected with a
In addition, one surface to be connected to the pipe P of the head 1 is a concave curved surface. This concave curved surface has a curvature corresponding to the outer diameter of the pipe P, and a part of the outer circumferential surface of the pipe P is in close contact with the concave curved surface of the head 1 without any gap.
The head 1 is held and fixed by the

In the transducer having such a configuration, the
For this reason, the ultrasonic wave transmitted from the head 1 enters the pipe P efficiently, and the reflected wave from the pipe P also enters the head 1 without wasting. Therefore, the utilization efficiency of the ultrasonic wave is improved and water or pure water can be used as the contact medium applied between the head 1 and the pipe P.
Then, while the pipe (P) is accommodated inside the transducer, the entire transducer is manually rotated around the central axis of the pipe (P) while transmitting ultrasonic waves from the head (1) to receive the reflected wave to the head (1), By analyzing the received signal in the ultrasonic flaw detector apparatus not shown in the drawing, it is possible to inspect the presence or absence of a weld defect in the pipe P.
The probe of such a configuration may be inspected by manually rotating the periphery of the pipe P as described above. Can be done.

In addition, since the scanner is small enough to be operated by one hand, the probe can be rotated around the pipe at a constant speed even when the inspection object is a narrow space, thereby performing an ultrasonic flaw detection. Therefore, the time required for inspection can be shortened, and accurate measurement results can be obtained, thus eliminating the need for a separate inspection function.
In addition, the contact portion between the pipe and the head 1 closely adheres over the radius of the pipe diameter, so that the ultrasonic wave can be efficiently transmitted, and water can be used as the medium. Since water does not leave a trace after use, it is also very suitable for inspection of gas supply piping for semiconductor manufacturing in a clean room of a semiconductor manufacturing plant where high cleanliness is required.
In addition, in a place where the space for the ultrasonic inspection is very narrow, the inspection may be performed manually using only the probe as described above.
That is, the use of the ultrasonic flaw detector according to the present invention minimizes the inspection space, so that pipes disposed near the ceiling and walls in the building can also be inspected.
In addition, by using the ultrasonic flaw detection scanner of the present invention, the flaw detector can be automatically rotated at constant speed around the pipe to perform the ultrasonic flaw inspection. Because of this, the inspection time can be shortened, accurate measurement results can be obtained, and no separate inspection function is required.
In addition, the scanner is compact even in the state of use with the probe, so that ultrasonic inspection in a narrow space can be similarly performed.
