Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of artificial material application, and in particular relates to a carbon fiber hard tube rubber layer detection system. Background Art

[0002] In the manufacturing process of carbon fiber composite materials, carbon fiber rigid tubes are widely used in aerospace, automobile manufacturing, high-precision equipment and other fields due to their excellent strength, heat resistance and light weight. However, carbon fiber tubes usually need to be coated with glue on their surface to improve interlayer adhesion and enhance the durability and fatigue resistance of their overall structure. Due to the complexity of the glue coating process and the influence of material properties, the glue layer is prone to defects such as uneven thickness, bubbles, and degumming, which not only affects the mechanical properties of the product, but also may lead to a decrease in thermal insulation performance. Traditional quality inspection methods mostly use manual visual inspection or destructive testing, which is inefficient and difficult to fully identify internal defects. Infrared thermal imaging detection technology, as a non-destructive testing method, reveals the structural integrity and bonding effect of the material by detecting the temperature distribution characteristics, providing an efficient and accurate solution for the detection of glue layer defects. Therefore, it is of great application value to develop an automatic detection system based on infrared thermal imaging to monitor the quality of the glue layer of carbon fiber rigid tubes online.

[0055] The carbon fiber hard tube 100 is transported to the designated inspection station by the transport module 10, and is removed from the assembly line of the transport module 10 by the pushing mechanism 16. The center hole of the carbon fiber hard tube 100 is then inserted into the heating roller 22 for heating.

[0057] Furthermore, the transport module 10 conveys the carbon fiber rigid tube 100 to the heating module 20 for internal heating and raising the internal temperature to a preset temperature; the heating module 20 is provided with a heating roller 22, which penetrates from the center hole on one side of the carbon fiber rigid tube 100 and is maintained inside the carbon fiber rigid tube 100; the heating roller 22 transfers heat to the inner side of the carbon fiber rigid tube 100 by its own heat generation, so as to heat the carbon fiber rigid tube 100 to a specified temperature; thereafter, the carbon fiber rigid tube 100 is guided and positioned by a plurality of rollers along the conveying path, and finally reaches the detection position adapted by the detection module 30.

[0058] Preferably, the heating roller 22 has a diameter close to the inner hole of the carbon fiber rigid tube 100 so that the heat can be directly transferred to the inner side surface of the carbon fiber rigid tube 100 through interface contact.

[0059] Preferably, the heating roller 22 is supported by two or more support bearings 24; Figure 4 As shown, the connecting rod structure with adaptively adjustable support height can adjust the height of the support bearing 24 to adjust the vertical position of the heating roller 22 so as to accurately insert the carbon fiber hard tube 100 into the heating roller 22.

[0060] Preferably, the multiple sensors in the transport module 10 may include a sensor for detecting the inner aperture position of the carbon fiber rigid tube 100, such as a visual sensor or a distance sensor, to obtain the inner aperture position of the carbon fiber rigid tube 100, and adjust the height of the support bearing 24 accordingly by the program.

[0061] Preferably, when the carbon fiber rigid cylinder 100 needs to be moved out of the conveying mechanism of the transport module 10, the pushing mechanism 16 drives the carbon fiber rigid cylinder 100 to push the transport module 10 toward the location of the heating roller 22; the two or more support bearings 24 are lowered one by one in a predetermined order from the side close to the carbon fiber rigid cylinder 100 to the side far from the carbon fiber rigid cylinder 100;

[0068] Preferably, the thermal insulation belt is used to ensure that the heat of the heating roller 22 can be evenly distributed on the surface area, wherein the thermal insulation belt is divided into two parts: an inner thermal insulation belt and an outer thermal insulation belt: the inner thermal insulation belt is wound in a spiral manner along the circumference between the core axis and the induction coil, and its main function is to prevent excessive diffusion of heat to the core axis and ensure that the heat is mainly transferred to the outer surface; the outer thermal insulation belt is wound around the periphery of the induction coil, including outer thermal insulation belt A and outer thermal insulation belt B; outer thermal insulation belt A is wound around the induction coil before outer thermal insulation belt B, and the two are wound in opposite winding directions, and the inner and outer thermal insulation belts are both made of high-temperature resistant glass fiber, which can maintain good thermal conductivity at high temperatures and protect the insulation performance of the coil.

[0075] Furthermore, after the heating roller 22 completes heating of the carbon fiber rigid tube 100 and raises the internal temperature of the tube to a preset temperature, infrared thermal imaging of the carbon fiber rigid tube 100 is randomly collected.

[0076] Preferably, during the collection process, a driving force in a circumferential direction is applied to the carbon fiber rigid tube 100 through a rolling mechanism arranged on the outer circle of the carbon fiber rigid tube 100, so that the carbon fiber rigid tube 100 rotates around the central axis, and at the same time the detector 321 can collect the entire circumferential surface of the carbon fiber rigid tube 100.

[0087] Furthermore, it may include adopting a classification marking method to classify and mark defects according to the inspection results, such as "uneven glue layer", "debonding" or "bubble", and mark the defect location and category on the thermal image.
