The invention discloses a handheld
detector for penetration of metallic
foreign bodies in an automobile tire. The handheld
detector comprises a main body, wherein at least three
metal detecting heads arranged in array form are arranged in the main body, correspondingly arranged LEDs (light emitting diodes) are located over the
metal detecting heads arranged in array form, and the
metal detecting heads and the LEDS are connected with a speaker and an electrical appliance control device. An
electromagnetic shielding plate is arranged between the metal detecting heads and the LEDs; the metal detecting heads arranged in array form are located on a detecting head fixing tray; the electrical appliance control device comprises a power supply, a power supply switch and a
detector connected with teach other; and
radius of each metal detecting head is 1-3.5 cm. The array type small metal detecting heads are convenient for detecting and positioning, since the detecting heads are small, detection can be accurate, and the
foreign bodies can be conveniently positioned; since many detecting heads are provided, detection efficiency can be improved, detection time can be shortened, and metallic
foreign bodies, such as screws, nails,
scrap irons and the like, penetrated into the automobile tire can be detected so as to discover the hidden danger of tire blowout in advance.
