On February 14, on the preparation field of the Wuhan high-power locomotive maintenance section of 188bet sports betting Wuhan Bureau Group Co., Ltd., 6 locomotives were placed on the trunk road, like "iron horses" waiting for physical examination. Deng Fan, a flaw detector in the bogie workshop, held the flaw detector in one hand and the probe in the other, lowered his head, bent down, and got into the bottom of the locomotive, preparing to conduct flaw detection operations on the locomotive.
Deng Fan is responsible for the daily maintenance and inspection of C4 and C5 key components such as wheel pairs, hooks, steering frames, wheel hoops, etc. of the locomotive, and is vividly called the "B-ultrasound doctor". Since joining the work in 2009, he has won the fourth place in the non-destructive detector of the 2024 188bet sports betting E-Vocational Skills Competition, and was also awarded the honorary title of "Outstanding Martial Iron Man in the New Era" in 2024.
During the Spring Festival travel rush, there were many locomotives online, and the wear of components such as wheelsets and bearings was heavy, and the workload of the flaw detection 188bet sports betting where Deng Fan was located suddenly increased sharply. He and his colleagues need to carefully inspect nearly a thousand parts of the motorcycle to ensure that each motorcycle is "healthy" online.
When Deng Fan found the third round on the left side of one end of the locomotive, he found that the waveform graph jumping on the detector screen was high and low at peaks. Years of experience in flaw detection told him that there were hidden dangers here. After repeated comparisons, he finally confirmed that the wheels of the motorcycle had slightly peeled off the edge of the tread.
2025 is the 16th year that Deng Fan has fought for the Spring Festival travel rush. He has been serious about the motorcycle parts for 16 years. He has tested more than 60,000 motorcycle parts, and there has never been any missed detection or misjudgment. (Xu Anhong)
