Various curved geometric components are widely used as key parts in critical fields such as aerospace, energy, and power equipment. These complex curved components, such as turbine engine blades, nose cones, and aerodynamic control leading edges, require high machining precision and are used under complex mechanical loads or extreme working environments, making them highly susceptible to damage defects such as microcracks, porosity, and inclusions. Coatings are typically applied to their surfaces to achieve protection. Coatings on special spacecraft components are generally ultra-high temperature sprayed coatings. The coating's protective function against ablation and other damage is crucial, and its thickness and morphology directly affect the normal use of the component. These coatings are generally thin, and the components have significant curvature, making it difficult to measure their thickness using ordinary thickness measurement methods.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in the embodiments of this application should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains. The terms "comprising" or "including," and similar terms used in the embodiments of this application, mean that the element or object preceding the word covers the element or object listed after the word and its equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Terms such as "connected" or "linked" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. Terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are only used to indicate relative positional relationships; when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0031] Currently, ultra-high temperature refractory metal-based composite materials prepared using "micro-nano composite-oxidation inhibition" technology for special spacecraft components exhibit significant performance advantages over other ultra-high temperature materials in terms of mechanical properties, high-temperature erosion and ablation resistance, and machinability. They hold immense potential for application in ultra-high temperature components of hypersonic aerospace weaponry and represent the optimal and feasible solution for special spacecraft components such as nose cones and aerodynamic control leading edges. This ultra-high temperature refractory metal-based composite material is a tungsten-based alloy reinforced with ceramic reinforcement, exhibiting excellent high-temperature erosion and ablation resistance, and can be used at temperatures above 2000℃. To ensure the components' resistance to ablation and oxidation at high temperatures, a heat-insulating ceramic coating of titanium carbide and titanium boride ceramic powder is formed on the component surface using a sintering method. This coating effectively protects the matrix material from oxidation, ensuring the normal operation of components such as nose cones and aerodynamic control leading edges.

[0032] In special spacecraft components, coating specifications include a thickness ≤200μm and a thickness uniformity of ±20μm. Coating thickness and uniformity determine coating performance, making the detection of coating thickness and uniformity crucial for quality control of these components. Currently, the detection of coating thickness for special spacecraft components primarily focuses on planar coatings. The accuracy for detecting the thickness of coatings on curved spacecraft components is insufficient, thus lacking effective methods for measuring the thickness of coatings on curved spacecraft components.

[0033] Based on this, the embodiments of this application provide a method for detecting the thickness of ultra-high temperature coatings on the surface of complex curved components, which can solve the problem of insufficient accuracy in detecting the thickness of coatings on curved spacecraft components to a certain extent.

[0034] This application provides a method for detecting the thickness of ultra-high temperature coatings on the surface of complex curved components, including:

[0035] Step (a) involves dividing the surface of the complex curved component into multiple marking regions, and determining the reflective marking sites and coded marking sites for each of the multiple marking regions; the orthographic projections of the reflective marking sites onto the reference surface and the orthographic projections of the coded marking sites onto the reference surface do not overlap; wherein, the reference surface can be, for example, a horizontal surface;

[0036] Step (b): Affix the corresponding reflective marker at the reflective marker location;

[0037] Step (c): Affix the corresponding coded marker at the coded marker site;

[0038] Step (d) involves performing a three-dimensional scan on the complex curved surface component, reflective markers, and coded markers to obtain a three-dimensional stereoscopic image of the complex curved surface component's surface; the three-dimensional stereoscopic image includes reflective marker points and coded marker points.

[0039] Step (e) involves measuring the thickness of the ultra-high temperature coating at each of the coded marker sites and displaying the corresponding thickness value at the corresponding coded marker site in the three-dimensional image.

[0040] The method for detecting the thickness of ultra-high temperature coatings on complex curved surface components provided in this application divides the surface of the complex curved surface component into multiple marked areas and determines reflective marking points and coded marking points in each of the multiple marked areas. The orthographic projections of the reflective marking points on the reference plane do not overlap with the orthographic projections of the coded marking points on the reference plane. Corresponding reflective markers are affixed to the reflective marking points; corresponding coded markers are affixed to the coded marking points; the complex curved surface component, reflective markers, and coded markers are three-dimensionally scanned to obtain a three-dimensional image of the surface of the complex curved surface component; the three-dimensional image includes reflective marker points and coded marking points; the thickness of the ultra-high temperature coating at each coded marking point is measured, and the corresponding thickness value is displayed at the corresponding coded marking point in the three-dimensional image. This method enables the detection of the thickness of ultra-high temperature coatings on the surface of complex curved surface components. Combined with a three-dimensional imaging system, it allows for accurate measurement and display of the thickness of complex curved surface components from all directions, effectively evaluating the thickness of ultra-high temperature coatings on the surface of complex curved surface components, and promoting the industrialization of complex curved surface components and ultra-high temperature coatings.

[0041] In step (a), the surface of the complex curved surface component can be divided according to its type to obtain multiple marked regions. The number of coded marker sites and their specific distribution in each marked region are then determined. The types of complex curved surface components can include rounded (R-angle) components and non-R-angle components. R-angle components can be understood as components with curved corners, such as rounded corner components, including nose cones. Non-R-angle components can be understood as components with right angles, such as rectangular and trapezoidal shapes, including leading edges of air rudders.

[0042] Reflective markers are used to image complex curved surfaces during subsequent 3D scanning. It should be understood that the principle for setting reflective markers is to ensure that each area can be clearly imaged by the 3D scanning equipment. At least three reflective markers can be set in each marked area of ​​the complex curved surface. Different reflective markers must not overlap, and any two reflective markers should not be too close together to avoid the 3D scanning system being unable to correctly identify them. Furthermore, reflective markers need to be randomly placed, avoiding a regular straight line arrangement, to ensure the 3D scanning system can correctly identify the reflective markers.

[0043] The distribution principles for coded marker sites are as follows: coded marker sites must not overlap with reflective marker sites; different coded marker sites must not overlap, meaning any two coded marker sites cannot overlap. The coded marker sites should be randomly distributed, avoiding a regular straight line arrangement, to facilitate subsequent scanning of the coded marker sites, and to ensure that at least six clear coded marker sites appear in each captured image. Sufficient coded marker sites must be placed in suitable and easily accessible locations to facilitate subsequent thickness marking at the coded marker sites.

[0044] In some embodiments, dividing the surface of the complex curved component into multiple marked regions and determining the coded marker sites in each marked region includes: dividing the surface of the complex curved component into corresponding marked regions according to the component type of the complex curved component, and determining the number of coded marker sites in each marked region; the component type of the complex curved component is an R-angle component or a non-R-angle component; and determining the distribution of coded marker sites in each marked region. Specifically, when determining the number and distribution of coded marker sites in each marked region, each marked region can be divided evenly before determining the number and distribution of coded marker sites.

[0045] In some embodiments, dividing the surface of the complex curved surface component into corresponding marking regions based on its component type and determining the number of coded marker sites in each marking region specifically includes: the component type of the complex curved surface component is an R-angle component, and the marking regions include a top region, an upper-middle region, a middle region, a lower-middle region, and a bottom region; the number of coded marker sites in the marking regions is determined based on the angle of the R-angle. The top region, upper-middle region, middle region, lower-middle region, and bottom region can be understood as being divided from top to bottom according to the actual usage state of the R-angle component. For example, the top region, upper-middle region, middle region, lower-middle region, and bottom region can be divided according to the direction from the narrow top to the wide bottom of the nose cone.

[0046] In some embodiments, determining the number of coded marker sites in the marking region based on the angle of the R-angle includes: if the R-angle angle is greater than 50°, the number of coded marker sites in the top region is greater than or equal to 3; and the number of coded marker sites in the upper region, the middle region, the lower middle region, and the bottom region is greater than or equal to 5 each. In other embodiments, determining the number of coded marker sites in the marking region based on the angle of the R-angle includes: if the R-angle angle is less than or equal to 50°, the number of coded marker sites in the top region is greater than or equal to 1; and the number of coded marker sites in the upper region, the middle region, the lower middle region, and the bottom region is greater than or equal to 3 each. This facilitates subsequent uniform testing of the thickness of the R-angled component, etc.

[0047] In some embodiments, dividing the surface of the complex curved surface component into corresponding marked areas according to the component type, and determining the number of coded marker sites in each marked area specifically includes: the component type of the complex curved surface component is a non-R-angle component; the marked areas are the upper-middle layer area, the middle layer area, and the lower-middle layer area of ​​the front side; and the upper-middle layer area, the middle layer area, and the lower-middle layer area of ​​the back side; the number of coded marker sites in the upper-middle layer area, the middle layer area, and the lower-middle layer area of ​​the front side and the upper-middle layer area, the middle layer area, and the lower-middle layer area of ​​the back side are each greater than or equal to 3. Here, the front and back sides can be understood as symmetrical upper and lower halves divided with the center as the plane of symmetry according to the actual usage state of the aerodynamic rudder leading edge. For example, the upper-middle layer area, the middle layer area, and the lower-middle layer area of ​​the front side can be obtained by dividing the front side of the aerodynamic rudder leading edge from top to bottom. The upper-middle, middle, and lower-middle regions on the reverse side can be divided from bottom to top along the reverse side of the aerodynamic rudder leading edge, meaning they are symmetrical about the center plane to the top-to-bottom division of the front side. Each region has at least three coded markers. This facilitates subsequent uniform testing of the thickness of non-R-angle components.

[0048] In some embodiments, in step (b), the reflective marker may be a reflective marker ball or the like.

[0049] In some embodiments, after step (b), the process may further include placing adhesive rulers in the marked areas; the orthographic projections of the rulers on the reference plane, the orthographic projections of the reflective marking points on the reference plane, and the orthographic projections of the coded marking points on the reference plane do not overlap. The reference plane can be understood as a horizontal plane, etc. The principles for attaching (i.e., placing) the rulers include ensuring the rulers are placed in a location easily accessible for photography, and that the rulers do not deform after photography. When placing the rulers, it is necessary to avoid squeezing the ends of the rulers, avoid placing heavy objects on the ruler rod, and avoid fixing only the two sides of the ruler while leaving the middle part suspended, etc., to better prevent ruler deformation. For large components, the rulers need to be placed around the perimeter of the component.

[0050] In some embodiments, in step (c), the coded marker can be a reflective marker ball or the like with a numerical designation. For example, a numerical designation can be affixed to the surface of the reflective marker ball to give it a numerical designation.

[0051] In some embodiments, in step (d), the surface of a complex curved component can be scanned in three dimensions using a non-contact 3D scanner. That is, the 3D scan is performed using a non-contact 3D scanner. This method of using a non-contact 3D scanner offers advantages such as ease of transport to industrial sites or production workshops, and the ability to perform measurements based on the size, shape, and scanning environment of the component. The non-contact 3D scanner can acquire 3D data of complex curved components using an industrial camera based on machine vision principles, and automatically stitch the data together using reflective marker information to achieve basic 3D scanning and measurement functions.

[0052] The specific scanning process may include connecting a 3D scanning device to a computer according to the operating procedures, entering the scanning software, creating a new scanning session and entering photogrammetry mode to perform photogrammetry work, and calculating the 3D coordinates of the centers of the reflective marker sites and coded marker sites. Finally, the reflective markers, coded markers, and component surfaces are scanned to generate a 3D stereoscopic image of the component, outputting a 3D deviation chromatogram for each tolerance or an output 2D image, and generating a 3D scanning dimension measurement report.

[0053] In some embodiments, in step (e), the thickness of the ultra-high temperature coating at the coded marker site can be measured using an eddy current thickness gauge, achieving a measurement accuracy of ±2 μm. After the thickness measurement, the thickness data for each coded marker point can be displayed on the aforementioned generated three-dimensional image. This allows for a visual observation of the thickness of the complex curved surface component from different orientations in a three-dimensional format.
