Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a novel phased array ultrasonic probe scanning device and an assembly and detection method, belonging to the technical field of ultrasonic detection. Background Art
[0002] Phased array ultrasonic testing technology is one of the most advanced and cutting-edge ultrasonic testing technologies in the world. This technology uses a multi-chip array probe to form a large-scale fan-shaped sound beam at one time to perform non-destructive testing on the raw materials or welded joints of the inspected components. It has the characteristics of fast detection speed and high detection sensitivity. In addition, phased array ultrasonic testing technology has powerful data processing functions, which can realize multi-view imaging display of defects, and can record and store detection data. It has a high defect detection rate, accurate positioning and quantification, and has significant technical advantages. Among them, the scanning, recording and storage functions of phased array detection data are mainly realized by the use of phased array probes and scanners. The phased array probe is responsible for collecting detection signals, and the scanner is responsible for fixing the probe and recording the probe position and moving trajectory, and finally forming detection data corresponding to the inspected workpiece. Therefore, the scanner and probe are both important components of the phased array detection system, and their performance directly affects the determination of the detection results. At present, the commonly used phased array scanners for pipeline welding joints are mainly: track scanners, chain scanners, trolley scanners and frame scanners. Among them, track-type scanners require special guide rails to be customized according to the pipeline specifications. The on-site installation of the guide rails is complicated and requires high installation accuracy. In addition, the guide rails have poor versatility and are usually not suitable for the inspection of small-diameter pipe welded joints. Chain scanners are usually composed of components of different shapes. One or more specific components must be selected and assembled according to the pipeline specifications and the instructions. Common chain scanners all have a snap-on design. A complete closed ring must be formed around the pipeline and the final joint must be locked with a snap-on. In addition, the chain scanner probe holding device is usually only suitable for probes of specific shapes, and the probe translation parameters are difficult to set, especially when the parameters are inconvenient to adjust during confined space inspections. The cart-type scanner and frame-type scanner generally have larger dimensions and are usually suitable for phased array inspection of large-diameter pipe welded joints. They are not suitable for small-diameter pipes and densely packed pipe row welded joints. Summary of the invention
