The invention relates to the field of ultrasonic flaw detection, in particular to an ultrasonic nondestructive flaw detection
system based on a
photoacoustic effect, which comprises a photoacoustic excitation module used for emitting excitation
laser to scan the surface of a detected object and inducing the
photoacoustic effect to generate ultrasonic
waves on the surface of the detected object through the excitation
laser; the optical detection module comprises a detection
laser and a four-quadrant
detector, the detection laser is used for emitting detection laser, the detection laser is incident to a detection point on the surface of the detected object at a preset inclination angle, and the four-quadrant
detector is used for receiving the detection laser reflected by the detection point; and the computer is connected with the four-quadrant
detector, and is used for receiving the current
signal output by the four-quadrant detector, calculating the
light spot offset of the center of the detection
light spot relative to the center of the four-quadrant detector, and calculating the internal damage position of the detected object by analyzing the
time domain characteristic of the
light spot offset. According to the invention, the defects of contact detection limitation and coherent light interference technology are overcome, the sensitivity and applicability are improved, and the cost is reduced.
