Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field related to train surface crack detection, and specifically to a train surface crack detection system. Background Art
[0002] As the operating mileage of my country's high-speed railways continues to increase, the number of high-speed trains has increased, and the demand for maintenance and repair of EMU trains related to operational safety has risen. As the demand for maintenance continues to expand, the current periodic maintenance strategy has become more and more prominent due to the lack of actual status detection, resulting in excessive maintenance and insufficient maintenance. Due to insufficient understanding of vehicle status and zero tolerance for problems, the replacement cycle of parts is short and the operating cost is high.
[0003] The use of more sensitive and efficient sensing methods, combined with modern signal analysis methods to monitor the health status of high-speed trains and surrounding supporting equipment, is an important means to achieve "condition repair" and even reverse optimization design. Among them, body fatigue cracks or material defects are an important aspect of high-speed train health monitoring, and the objects involve body profiles, welding surfaces, equipment suspension points, etc. When there are defects in these parts and they are subjected to certain external loads during operation, the defects may be forced to expand and release acoustic emission signals to the outside. At present, the commonly used non-destructive detection methods for body cracks in high-speed trains at home and abroad include magnetic particle testing, penetration testing, X-ray testing, eddy current testing, ultrasonic testing, etc. These detection methods generally require manual scanning operations, especially the widely used fluorescent penetration testing, which also has certain toxicity.
[0004] Different from ultrasonic, eddy current, X-ray and other non-destructive testing methods, acoustic emission testing, as a sensing method based on "stress waves", has been widely used in materials, pressure vessels, pipelines, wind power and other fields. Compared with other conventional non-destructive testing methods, it does not require scanning operations and can capture the dynamic process of crack occurrence and expansion in real time; it is more sensitive than vibration signals and has local waveforms; AE signals have a wide frequency range and a large amount of information, which can detect early structural failures earlier; the location of cracks (sound sources) can also be found through multi-sensor positioning analysis, and accurate positioning of defective parts is of great significance to train operation and maintenance.
[0005] Acoustic emission sensors are used to detect cracks in train bodies. This is mainly done by using a hydraulic device to apply pressure to the train body within a certain range of the train's test surface (to allow cracks in defective parts of the body structure to expand accordingly). The weak acoustic emission signal generated when the crack expands is received by the acoustic emission sensors that are arranged in advance in the test area of the body. By analyzing the signals collected by the acoustic emission sensors, the location of the cracks, the intensity of the crack activity, etc. can be accurately found. Summary of the invention
[0006] In view of this, the present application provides a train surface crack detection system.
[0007] The train surface crack detection system mainly includes a base, a sensor probe arm mechanism, an acoustic emission probe servo device and a host computer. The base includes a base body, a left-right moving mechanism, a left-right moving driving device, a first supporting mechanism, a second supporting mechanism, a first telescopic rod, a second telescopic rod, a height measurement module, a position detection module and a control device. The left-right moving mechanism is arranged on the base body. The left-right moving driving device is arranged on the base body and is respectively connected to the left-right moving mechanism and the control device. The first supporting mechanism and the second supporting mechanism are respectively arranged at the left and right ends of the base body in a liftable manner. The first telescopic rod is foldably arranged on the base body. The second telescopic rod is foldably arranged on the left-right moving mechanism so that the second telescopic rod can move left and right on the base body. The height measurement module is arranged on the first telescopic rod and is connected to the control device. The position detection module is arranged on the left-right moving mechanism and the base body and is connected to the control device. The sensor probe arm mechanism includes a plurality of support rod assemblies. The plurality of support rod assemblies are connected together in a scissor-fork structure. Among them, at the X-shaped connection of the scissor structure, the plurality of support rod assemblies are connected by a first rotating connection mechanism. At the V-shaped connection of the scissor structure, the plurality of support rod assemblies are connected by a second rotating connection mechanism. In addition, angle sensors are arranged at the positions of the first rotating connection mechanism and the second rotating connection mechanism. A linear grating displacement sensor is arranged on the support rod assembly. The first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod are respectively connected to one of the X-shaped connections. The acoustic emission probe servo device is movably arranged on the support rod assembly. The angle sensor and the linear grating displacement sensor are connected to the host computer through the control device.

And the bottom end of the screw in the screw adjustment handle 10-313 is connected to the support base plate 10-311. By rotating the screw adjustment handle 10-313, the support base plate 10-311 can be lowered so that the universal wheels can be lifted off the ground during operation to ensure the support stability of the base; when not in use, the support base plate 10-311 can be raised by rotating the screw adjustment handle 10-313 so that the universal wheels can contact the ground, facilitating the movement of the base.

Further, a plurality of first balls 1-300 are arranged on the inner wall of the first sleeve 1-100. A plurality of second balls 1-400 are arranged on the inner wall of the second sleeve 1-200. By arranging a plurality of first balls 1-300 on the inner wall of the first sleeve 1-100 and a plurality of second balls 1-400 on the inner wall of the second sleeve 1-200, the friction between the sleeve and the support rod can be reduced, so that the sleeve assembly moves more smoothly on the support rod.
[0066] like Figures 17 to 21 As shown, the transmission mechanism 2 includes a worm gear transmission mechanism disposed in the first sleeve 1-100 or the second sleeve 1-200. Exemplarily, the worm gear transmission mechanism includes a worm wheel 1-510 and a worm 1-520. The worm wheel 1-510 is rotatably disposed in the second sleeve 1-200 in a manner that does not contact the inner wall of the second sleeve 1-200, and a screw nut hole 1-511 is disposed on the worm wheel 1-510. Exemplarily, as Figures 12 to 16As shown, a first support ring 1-210 and a second support ring 1-220 are provided in the second sleeve 1-200. The worm gear 1-510 is rotatably mounted on the first support ring 1-210 and the second support ring 1-220. Specifically, the first support ring 1-210 includes a first upper semicircular portion 1-211 and a first lower semicircular portion 1-212. One end of the first upper semicircular portion 1-211 is connected to a connecting vertical plate on the upper mounting platform 1-230. One end of the first lower semicircular portion 1-212 is connected to an open mounting vertical groove 1-241 of the lower mounting platform 1-240. In the connected state, the other end of the first upper semicircular portion 1-211 is buckled with the other end of the first lower semicircular portion 1-212. Furthermore, there is a gap between the first support ring 1-210 composed of the first upper semicircular portion 1-211 and the first lower semicircular portion 1-212 and the inner walls of the upper arc-shaped portion 1-250 and the lower arc-shaped portion 1-260. Specifically, the first upper semicircular portion 1-211 and the first lower semicircular portion 1-212 can be buckled together by a first mortise and tenon structure. The second support ring 1-220 includes a second upper semicircular portion 1-221 and a second lower semicircular portion 1-222. One end of the second upper semicircular portion 1-221 is connected to another connecting vertical plate on the upper mounting platform 1-230. One end of the second lower semicircular portion 1-222 is connected to the open mounting vertical groove 1-241 of the lower mounting platform 1-240. In the connected state, the other end of the second upper semicircular portion 1-221 is buckled with the other end of the second lower semicircular portion 1-222. Furthermore, there is a gap between the second support ring 1-220 composed of the second upper semicircular portion 1-221 and the second lower semicircular portion 1-222 and the inner walls of the upper arc-shaped portion 1-250 and the lower arc-shaped portion 1-260. Specifically, the second upper semicircular portion 1-221 and the second lower semicircular portion 1-222 can be fastened together by a second mortise and tenon structure. A first card slot and a second card slot are provided on the worm wheel 1-510. In the installed state, the first support ring 1-210 and the second support ring 1-220 are respectively sleeved in the first card slot and the second card slot, so that the worm wheel 1-510 is rotatably arranged in the second sleeve 1-200 in a manner that it does not contact the inner wall of the second sleeve 1-200. The worm 1-520 is arranged in the open mounting vertical groove 1-241. The worm 1-520 is transmission-connected to the worm wheel 1-510. Furthermore, a drive device mounting portion 1-232 is also provided on the upper mounting platform 1-230. In the use state, the first drive device is installed on the drive device installation portion 1-232 and connected to the worm 1-520, so that the worm wheel 1-510 can rotate under the drive of the first drive device. The first drive device can use a drive motor. In the installed state, Fig.11As shown, the first sleeve 1-100 and the second sleeve 1-200 are sleeved on the first support rod 110, and the screw nut hole on the worm wheel 1-510 is connected to the screw 130 in the second support rod 120; and then connected to the drive motor through the worm gear transmission mechanism, so that under the drive of the drive motor, the sleeve assembly can move on the support rod, thereby driving other components such as sensors installed on the sleeve assembly to move conveniently.
[0067] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism 2 also includes a switching mechanism. The switching mechanism can be arranged in the drive device mounting portion 1-232. Figures 17 to 21, the switching mechanism may include a mounting shaft 2-100, a first latch 2-200 and a transmission member 2-300. The transmission member 2-300 is arranged on the mounting shaft 2-100. In addition, a mounting hole 2-110 is axially arranged in the mounting shaft 2-100. The first latch 2-200 is connected to the mounting hole 2-110 in a manner that it can only move in the axial direction, so that the first latch 2-200 can be connected or disconnected from the drive mechanism by pulling and inserting the first latch 2-200, thereby completing the switching between the manual mode and the automatic mode. Exemplarily, the mounting hole 2-110 may be a polygonal hole, such as a hexagonal hole. The second largest diameter section 2-220 of the first latch 2-200 may be a polygonal pin shaft that matches the polygonal hole, such as a hexagonal pin shaft. In the installed state, the polygonal pin shaft cooperates with the polygonal hole to prevent the relative rotation between the installation shaft 2-100 and the first latch 2-200, so that the driving mechanism can drive the installation shaft 2-100 to rotate through the first latch 2-200. Similarly, the installation hole 2-110 can also adopt an internal gear hole, and the second large diameter section 2-220 can adopt an external gear structure, so that the first latch 2-200 can be connected to the installation hole 2-110 in a manner that can only move in the axial direction, and the driving mechanism can drive the installation shaft 2-100 to rotate through the first latch 2-200. In addition, the installation hole 2-110 and the second large diameter section 2-220 can also form a keyway connection structure so that the first latch 2-200 can be connected to the installation hole 2-110 in a manner that can only move in the axial direction, and the driving mechanism can drive the installation shaft 2-100 to rotate through the first latch 2-200. Exemplarily, the transmission member 2-300 and the installation shaft 2-100 are an integral structure. Among them, the transmission member 2-300 adopts a gear, a sprocket or a pulley. The transmission member 2-300 is connected to the first drive device in a transmission manner. Exemplarily, a connecting groove 2-711 is axially arranged on the worm 1-520 in the worm gear mechanism. The shape of the connecting groove 2-711 matches the shape of the second large diameter section 2-220 of the first pin 2-200. For example, the second large diameter section 2-220 can adopt a hexagonal pin shaft, and the connecting groove 2-711 can adopt a hexagonal inner groove. In the connected state, the second large diameter section 2-220 is inserted into the connecting groove 2-711, so that power can be transmitted between the worm gear mechanism and the transmission member 2-300 on the mounting shaft 2-100.
[0068] Further, in some embodiments, the switching mechanism for switching between manual mode and automatic mode also includes a second latch 2-400. Wherein, the first latch 2-200 is arranged in the mounting hole 2-110 in a manner that it can only move in the axial direction. The second latch 2-400 has a first small diameter section 2-410. The lower end of the first small diameter section 2-410 is inserted into the mounting hole 2-110 and connected to the upper end of the first latch 2-200, so that the first latch 2-200 can be connected or disconnected from the drive mechanism by pulling and inserting the second latch 2-400, completing the switching between the manual mode and the automatic mode. Wherein, the first latch 2-200 has a second small diameter section 2-210 and a second large diameter section 2-220. The upper end of the second small diameter section 2-210 is connected to the first small diameter section 2-410, and the lower end is connected to the second large diameter section 2-220. A stopper 2-120 is provided at the upper end of the mounting hole 2-110. Exemplarily, the stopper 2-120 is an annular protrusion formed on the inner wall of the mounting hole 2-110 and protruding radially inward. Alternatively, the mounting shaft 2-100 includes a shaft body 2-130 and a cover 2-140. The cover 2-140 is disposed at the upper end of the shaft body 2-130. A through hole 2-141 is disposed in the middle of the cover 2-140, so that the first small diameter section 2-410 and the second small diameter section 2-210 pass through and the through hole 2-141 is formed around the stopper 2-120, as shown in FIG. Fig.19 As shown. A spring 2-500 is disposed between the resisting portion 2-120 and the second large diameter section 2-220, so that under the action of the spring 2-500, the first latch 2-200 can be connected to the driving mechanism. The second latch 2-400 has a first large diameter section 2-420 connected to the upper end of the first small diameter section 2-410 to prevent the second latch 2-400 from being fully inserted into the mounting hole 2-110 under the action of the spring 2-500. In addition, the second latch 2-400 and the first latch 2-200 are rotatably connected via a hinged connection structure, so that after the second latch 2-400 is pulled out of the mounting hole 2-110, it can be rotated to radially overlap the mounting shaft 2-100 to prevent the first latch 2-200 from moving axially. For example, as Fig.19 As shown, a first semi-cylindrical hinge portion 2-411 is provided at the lower end of the first small diameter section 2-410. A second semi-cylindrical hinge portion 2-211 is provided at the upper end of the second small diameter section 2-210. The first semi-cylindrical hinge portion 2-411 and the second semi-cylindrical hinge portion 2-211 are rotatably connected to each other through a connecting rod 2-610 in a complementary manner to form a hinged connection structure.
[0069] The working process of the switching mechanism for switching between the manual mode and the automatic mode in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:
[0070] In the automatic mode, the transmission member 2-300 is connected to the drive motor, and the second pin 2-400 is in an axial state. The first small diameter section 2-410 of the second pin 2-400 is inserted into the mounting hole 2-110. Under the action of the second pin 2-400 and / or the spring 2-500, the first pin 2-200 moves downward in the axial direction, so that the lower end of the second large diameter section 2-220 of the first pin 2-200 is inserted into the connecting groove 2-711 on the worm 2-710 in the worm gear mechanism, so that the drive motor can drive the first pin 2-200 to rotate through the transmission member 2-300 and the mounting shaft 2-100, and then drive the worm 1-520 to rotate, and then the worm 1-520 drives the worm wheel to rotate, thereby realizing the position movement of the component. The electric drive is used to drive the motor; when it is necessary to switch from the automatic mode to the manual mode, the second pin 2-400 is pulled axially upward to pull the first small diameter section 2-410 of the second pin 2-400 out of the mounting hole 2-110, thereby driving the second large diameter section 2-220 of the first pin 2-200 to move upward and separate from the connecting groove 2-711 on the worm 1-520 in the worm gear mechanism, and then the second pin 2-400 is rotated 90 degrees through the hinged connection structure to rotate the second pin 2-400 to radially overlap the cover 2-140 of the mounting shaft 2-100, thereby preventing the first pin 2-200 from moving axially downward under the action of the spring, thereby disconnecting the drive motor from the worm gear mechanism and switching to manual mode. The switching mechanism for switching between manual mode and automatic mode in the embodiment of the present application connects and disconnects the drive motor and the worm by plugging and pulling out and rotating the second latch 2-400. When connected, the driven component is locked by the drive motor and cannot be moved manually. At this time, it can only be moved automatically by the drive motor. When pulled out and disengaged, the driven component is unlocked and manual position adjustment can be achieved. The second latch 2-400 is pulled out and then rotated 90 degrees to manually control the first latch 2-200 to separate from the worm, and it is stuck and keeps the shape unchanged. At this time, the driven component can be dragged by hand to move; when the second latch 2-400 is not pulled out, the first latch 2-200 can be manually controlled to combine with the worm, and the movement of the driven component can be controlled by the drive motor. This design can avoid the phenomenon that it is difficult to drag directly by hand due to the excessive resistance of the reduction motor, and it can also play a locking protection role for the overall structure. By adopting the switching mechanism for switching between manual mode and automatic mode in the embodiment of the present application, the movement of the equipment components can be switched between manual mode and automatic mode, thereby ensuring that when the drive motor is powered off or fails, the position of the equipment components can still be adjusted manually.

When connecting, the lower plate 9-200 is inserted between the first fastener 9-310 and the second fastener 9-320, and the lower plate 9-200 is clamped under the action of the torsion spring; when disassembling, the first quick release button 9-410 and the second quick release button 9-420 are pressed so that the upper parts of the first fastener 9-310 and the second fastener 9-320 are relatively close to each other, and the lower parts of the first fastener 9-310 and the second fastener 9-320 that clamp the lower plate 9-200 are opened to conveniently remove the lower plate 9-200. In some embodiments, the upper plate 9-100 and the lower plate 9-200 can be connected by multiple detachable snap-fit connection structures, such as Figure 22 to Figure 24 As shown, the upper plate 9-100 and the lower plate 9-200 are connected by four detachable snap-fit connection structures.

When the adjusting ring 8-100, the movable fixing part 8-300 and the limiting baffle 8-400 are in the process of relative rotation, the limiting block 8-130, the limiting plate 8-320 and the limiting protrusion 8-410 can limit each other to form a first limiting structure to limit the rotation range of the adjusting ring 8-100 and the movable fixing part 8-300. Among them, the sensor connecting part 8-500 has a plurality of connecting columns 8-510. The plurality of connecting columns 8-510 pass through the volute spring 8-200 and the middle hole 8-111 to be connected to the limiting baffle 8-400. Moreover, each movable fixing part 8-300 is connected to a connecting column 8-510. Exemplarily, the sensor quick fixing mechanism includes three movable fixing parts 8-300, namely, a first movable fixing part, a second movable fixing part and a third movable fixing part.

In addition, the first movable fixing member, the second movable fixing member and the third movable fixing member are respectively connected to the adjustment ring 8-100 through a gear connection structure.The first connecting column passes through the volute spring 8-200, the middle hole 8-111 and the first movable fixing part from top to bottom and is connected to the limit baffle 8-400.

By providing the second limiting structure, deviation between the adjusting ring 8-100 and the sensor connecting member 8-500 can be prevented when the adjusting ring 8-100 is rotated.
[0076] Further, in some embodiments, the sensor quick fixing mechanism also includes a permanent magnet 8-600. The permanent magnet 8-600 is disposed on the sensor connector 8-500.

[0079] Furthermore, the sensor quick fixing mechanism of the embodiment of the present application can ensure that the tightness of the adjustment ring 8-100 is always within a safe range when it is manually adjusted by setting a first limiting structure.
[0080] A plurality of the acoustic emission probe servo devices are movably arranged on the support rod assembly 100. Specifically, in the installed state, Fig.11 As shown, the first sleeve 1-100 and the second sleeve 1-200 are sleeved on the first support rod 110, and the screw nut hole on the worm wheel 1-510 is connected to the screw 130 in the second support rod 120; and then connected to the drive motor through the worm gear transmission mechanism, so that under the drive of the drive motor, the sleeve assembly can move on the support rod, thereby driving the acoustic emission probe servo device installed on the sleeve assembly to move conveniently. And the moving distance and position on the support rod are detected by the linear grating displacement sensor. The angle sensor and the linear grating displacement sensor are connected to the host computer (not shown in the figure) through the control device 10-700.
[0081] The train surface crack detection system of the embodiment of the present application can support the acoustic emission probe in the vertical direction (such as Figure 1 as shown) and horizontally (as Figure 2 The side walls and bottom beams of the train are inspected for cracks.
[0082] The installation and testing process of the entire system is basically the same for vertical and horizontal measurements. The following takes the vertical detection of side cracks on a vehicle body as an example and describes the process in detail in the following steps:
[0083] Step 1: Equipment assembly. The present invention takes into account the rapid disassembly and mobility of the equipment, and can achieve rapid assembly and storage of the whole at the testing site; the sensor probe arm mechanism is equipped with quick-release components at its joints and ends, which can be stacked into the base cover together with the acoustic emission probe servo device, the first telescopic rod, the second telescopic rod, etc. after disassembly, so as to facilitate the transfer and deployment of the device. According to the test needs, multiple acoustic emission probe servo devices can be selected on a single support rod, so as to mount more sensors and achieve super-positioning of defects.
[0084] Step 2: Adjust the first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod to a vertical state, move the base, and make the probe array formed by the acoustic emission probe servo device close to the surface of the train and roughly parallel to the body. There is a laser distance sensor under the body to detect the lifting height of the first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod.
[0085] Step 3: Fix the base to prevent the entire system from moving. Manually rotate the screw adjustment handles on both sides of the base to make the support base fully support the base (the entire system), and the universal wheels on the bottom of the base leave the ground.
[0086] Step 4: Adjust the position distribution of the probe of the servo device of the acoustic emission probe. Turn on the power, set and adjust the horizontal movement distance of the second telescopic rod on the host computer (the servo motor inside the base drives the screw to rotate and drive the sliding block to move left and right, thereby driving the second telescopic rod to move horizontally, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the sensor probe support arm mechanism), the relative position of the probe of the servo device of the acoustic emission probe on each support rod, and the downward pressure of the probe and other parameters (the movement of the probe on the carbon fiber tube where it is located can be controlled by manual and automatic methods. The support rod is equipped with a printed scale. In the manual state, the position of the probe on the support stem can be adjusted by manual adjustment; in the automatic control state, the closed-loop position control mechanism composed of the control device in the base, the first drive device and the linear grating sensor can be automatically electrically controlled to adjust the position of the probe in the parallel direction of the support rod after being controlled and set by the host computer and communicating with the control device). By controlling the opening and closing degree of the sensor probe support arm mechanism and the position of each probe on its support rod, the distribution structure of the acoustic emission probe required for various tests can be freely combined. The present invention installs angle sensors at each joint of the sensor probe arm mechanism and provides a position detection module for detecting the horizontal position of the second telescopic rod in the base. Through these two types of position and angle sensor data, high-precision position information of each probe (acoustic emission sensor) can be accurately obtained after the device is adjusted.
[0087] For example, the following method can be used to obtain location information in this application:
[0088] (1). Fixed rod, movable rod and support arm part: This embodiment includes 1 fixed rod (first telescopic rod 10-410) and 1 movable rod (second telescopic rod 10-420). The support arm in the sensor probe arm mechanism changes with the left and right changes of the movable rod position. Assume that the rod length is l, the coordinates of the midpoint of the rod are set to (x5, y5), the coordinates of the midpoint of the movable rod are (x6, y6), and the midpoint coordinates of the four arms of the support arm are (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3), (x4, y4), and the corresponding rotation angles are α1, α2, α3, and α4, respectively. Among them, the dominant variable of the position coordinate is the coordinates of the midpoint of the movable rod (x6, y6). The following set of equations is the function corresponding to the x, y coordinates and rotation angle of the four arms.
[0089]
[0090] α=arccosα
[0091]
[0092] (2). Probe position part: In this embodiment, there are 8 acoustic emission sensors, and their coordinates are (px1, py1), (px2, py2), (px3, py3), (px4, py4), (px5, py5), (px6, py6), (px7, py7), (px8, py8). For the circular sensor, its radius is r, and the slope of the rod is k. The horizontal coordinate px of the probe is a variable. We can write a function of the vertical coordinate py changing with px. In wincc, the coordinates of the graphic are defined by the upper left vertex of the boundary of the graphic. In order to obtain a more accurate position display effect, this algorithm converts the motion equation of the center of the circle into the motion equation of the upper left vertex of the circle. Therefore, we can derive the equation of each sensor moving along the rod through the following formula:
[0093]
[0094] (3) Cross-circle crack coordinate algorithm
[0095] Through external parameter input (third-party synchronous data collector), the distance value of each sensor to the crack is calculated, and the three sensors closest to the crack are selected. Then, three circles are formed with the coordinates of the three sensors as the center and the distance from the crack as the radius. The intersection of the three circles is the crack position we need. This is used to realize the real-time display of the crack position in WinCC.
[0096] The following is a specific method for solving the intersection of the three circles (three sensors) A, B, and C closest to the crack, that is, the crack position.
[0097] exist Fig.43 In the equation, let A(x_1,y_1), B(x_2,y_2), and I(x_3,y_3) be the centers of circles A, B, and I respectively. Circles A and B intersect at C(x_c,y_c) and D(x_d,y_d). Circles B and I intersect at G(x_g,y_g) and H(x_h,y_h). C and D intersect A and B perpendicularly at point E(x_0,y_0). The radius AC of circle A is r1, and the radius BC of circle B is r2. Let CF be perpendicular to the X-axis and EF be parallel to the X-axis.
[0098] The sonic time difference and sound velocity values of the eight sensors are passed into an array, and their sizes are sorted by bubble sort to obtain the coordinates and codes of the centers of the three circles closest to the crack. Using the equations of the three circles, the intersection point of any circle and the other two circles can be solved to obtain the crack location.
[0099] like Fig.44As shown in the figure, the distance between sensors A and B is AB = L; the slope of AB is K1, and the slope of the straight line CD formed by the intersection points C and D of the two circles with A and B sensors as the center and the distance from the crack as the radius is have
[0100]
[0101]
[0102] The above three equations are combined to eliminate CE and BE to obtain the relationship between AE and r1, r2, and L:
[0103]
[0104] The coordinates of point A are known to be A(x1, y1), so the coordinates of point E(x0, y0) are obtained
[0105]
[0106] Also because
[0107]
[0108] Combining the above three equations, we have
[0109]
[0110] According to the coordinate relationship:
[0111]
[0112] Solved
[0113]
[0114] Similarly, we can conclude that G(x g ,y g )、H(x h ,y h )’s coordinates.
[0115] The above method can be used to solve the three circles closest to the crack, that is, the intersection of circles A and B is C(x0, y0), D(x d ,y d ), the intersection point of circles B and I G(x o ,y o ))、H(x h ,y h ). In special cases, when two of the four points are the same, they are the common intersection of three circles formed by the three sensors with their own coordinates as the center and their respective distances from the crack as the radius.
[0116] Step 6: Each acoustic emission probe servo device has a telescopic function. It relies on a closed-loop position control mechanism composed of a control device, a hollow shaft motor 5-100 and a pressure sensor. After being controlled and set by a host computer and communicating with the control device (such as PLC), the vertical position of the probe can be automatically adjusted by electronic control to ensure that the sensor on each probe can have good contact with the train surface and the contact pressure will not deviate from the optimal set value.
[0117] After the setting is completed, the train surface crack detection can be carried out.
[0118] Compared with the prior art, the train surface crack detection system of the embodiment of the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0119] In order to make the present invention applicable to the detection of different types of vehicles such as urban rail transit vehicles and EMU trains, and better adapt to various usage environments and scenarios, the probe part, support arm part and base part involved in the present invention all have good disassembly and quick assembly.
[0120] There are side panels on both sides of the base, which are assembled to form a cover, and the internal space can be used to place the support rods, telescopic rods and other components after the system is disassembled. In order to meet the mobile position requirements during testing, universal wheels and support mechanisms are respectively provided at the left and right bottoms of the base. During testing, the universal wheels can be lifted by raising the pads on both sides through the support mechanism, which plays a role in stable support and leveling, providing a stable working platform for testing.
[0121] Connected to the vehicle body is the sensor probe arm mechanism for placing the acoustic emission probe servo device, which is connected to the base through the first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod. The bottom of the second telescopic rod is provided with a screw and a sliding block. The opening and closing degree of the sensor probe arm mechanism can be adjusted by driving the screw through the motor inside the base. The sliding block inside the base is provided with a linear distance sensor, which can transmit the lateral position coordinates of the moving rod to the upper computer. The first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod are telescopic rods with synchronous electric control lifting capabilities.
[0122] The probe part is placed on the sensor probe arm mechanism. The hollow shaft motor in the acoustic emission probe servo device drives the screw to control the distance between the acoustic emission sensor and the train surface. The pressure sensor monitors the contact pressure between the probe and the train surface in real time to achieve precise closed-loop control of the probe contact. By performing trigonometric conversion on the angles between different support rods of the sensor probe arm mechanism, distance sensing data, and the position of the probe in each support rod, the position arrangement of each probe on the entire detection surface can be obtained.
[0123] In addition, the acoustic emission probe can be well attached to the test surface of the train, and the relative position of each probe on the car body can be detected in real time, and the contact pressure of the probe can be accurately controlled.
[0124] Therefore, the train surface crack detection system of the embodiment of the present application can quickly and accurately arrange acoustic emission sensors and can achieve precise positioning of cracks, thereby solving the problems that conventional magnetic suction probe supports do not work, the sensors cannot fit well on the vehicle body surface, large-area probe deployment is difficult, the efficiency is low, the adjustment is difficult, and the relative position of the probes is difficult to obtain accurately and quickly.
