Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the non-destructive testing technology, and relates to an industrial-grade ultrasonic automatic scanning imaging testing equipment used for large-scale structures of composite materials and metal materials in the fields of aviation, aerospace, electronics, weapons, ships, metallurgy, steel, transportation, construction, etc. Background technique [0002] At present, large-scale structures such as composite materials mainly adopt the pulsed ultrasonic vertical longitudinal wave penetration / reflection detection method, and the ultrasonic transducer transmits / receives the acoustic wave signal to the tested part to realize the defect detection. This detection method requires that the acoustic wave signal emitted by the ultrasonic transducer propagates along the normal direction of the detected position of the part. Manual and automatic scanning methods are adopted, and the parts to be inspected are scanned by moving the ultrasonic ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Its outstanding shortcomings are: since large structures such as aircraft composite materials have almost no microscopic plane features, during the automatic scanning process, it is necessary to continuously adjust and control the attitude and scanning position of the transducer in real time to ensure that the direction of the incident sound wave is consistent with the current position. The direction of the shape and surface is consistent to realize the transmission and reception of ultrasonic detection signals. The more complex the shape of the part to be tested, the more complex the attitude and position adjustment of the transducer, the higher the technical cost, and the higher the requirements for the numerical control and coordinate axes of the equipment. Wing-type composite material structures usually require at least a complex scanning mechanism with 5-6 axes linkage to realize the adjustment of the attitude and position of the transducer. The technical cost and maintenance cost of the equipment are high, and this adjustment method needs to generate scanning trajectories first. Scanning can only be realized, and the engineering applicability is poor

Its obvious shortcomings are: the scanning and tracking efficiency is very low, and the engineering practicability is poor. After leaving the mold tooling for large structures such as composite materials, the parts are in a free state, and their shape is far from the theoretical model; the actual profiling measurement and teaching programming , the efficiency is too low, and in order to prevent mistakes and damage parts, the generated scanning trajectory must be taught and tested. For example, for a large composite material structure of L (length) × W (width), the generated scanning trajectory needs to be M lines, each scanning trajectory needs profiling and measurement points to be K, then there will be M×L×W×K, even for a 7
