Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of non-destructive testing, in particular to an eddy current testing evaluation method for metal pipes with heat dissipation fins or heat dissipation threads, and more particularly to a heat dissipation metal pipe far-field eddy current testing method and a testing device thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Heat dissipation pipes are used in various industries and widely applied in industries, cultivation, light industry, chemical industry, breeding, daily household appliances, etc. For example, heat dissipation pipes are used in air heaters, air conditioners, etc. Generally, heat dissipation pipes are made of good thermal conductor metals such as steel and copper. In order to increase the contact area with air, heat dissipation fins are usually arranged on the wall of the metal pipe (1), as shown in FIG. 1, or heat dissipation pipes with internal / external threads are arranged on the wall of the metal pipe (1), as shown in FIG. 2. The design of the pipe wall fins and threads can increase the heat conduction capacity. For example, the heat dissipation pipe of an air conditioner is designed with internal / external threads, which can reduce the thickness of the pipe wall by 2.5-3.5 mm, greatly saving the copper material. Therefore, it has become a common practice to arrange fins and threads on the wall of the heat dissipation pipe. Figure 1 Figure 2 However, the application environment of heat dissipation pipes is usually harsh, and the pipes are prone to corrosion or cracks under high pressure. Therefore, regular monitoring and testing are essential, especially for some high-pressure dangerous pipes. In addition, the in-service environment of heat dissipation pipes is usually harsh, and it is preferred to use an eddy current testing method suitable for harsh environments.

[0003] Moreover, the arrangement of heat dissipation fins or heat dissipation threads on the heat dissipation pipe makes the wall of the metal pipe not smooth, which affects the eddy current testing results. As is known, due to the skin effect of electromagnetic eddy current signals, the lift-off value has a great influence on eddy current testing. The unevenness formed by the heat dissipation fins further affects the detection signal and reduces the detection sensitivity.

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present application further improves the technical scheme as follows. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a heat dissipation metal pipe far-field eddy current testing method and a testing device thereof. The technical scheme disclosed is as follows:

[0006] A heat dissipation metal pipe far-field eddy current testing method is a non-destructive testing method for heat conduction metal pipes with heat dissipation fins or heat dissipation threads arranged on the wall of the metal pipe. An inner-penetrating far-field eddy current testing probe connected to an eddy current testing instrument is used for detection through the indirect coupling signal of the electromagnetic signal of the eddy current sensor coil of the inner-penetrating far-field eddy current testing probe passing through the wall of the metal pipe. The specific detection, evaluation and analysis steps are as follows:

[0007] A heat dissipation metal pipe far-field eddy current testing method is a non-destructive testing method for heat conduction metal pipes with heat dissipation fins or heat dissipation threads arranged on the wall of the metal pipe. An inner-penetrating far-field eddy current testing probe connected to an eddy current testing instrument is used for detection through the indirect coupling signal of the electromagnetic signal of the eddy current sensor coil of the inner-penetrating far-field eddy current testing probe passing through the wall of the metal pipe. The specific detection, evaluation and analysis steps are as follows:

[0008] ​a. Calibration process: detect the standard heat dissipation metal pipe by the inner-wearing far-field eddy current detection probe, and extract the eddy current detection signal calibration value of the detected metal pipe;

[0009] b. Actual detection: put the inner-wearing far-field eddy current detection probe into the metal pipe for scanning detection, and the eddy current detection instrument extracts the detection signal;

[0010] c. Image reconstruction: the eddy current detection instrument performs far-field eddy current data calculation and analysis reconstruction on the extracted detection signal to form a simulation graph;

[0011] d. Defect extraction: the eddy current detection instrument extracts the reconstructed defect value through the signal simulation graph formed in the c step, wherein the defect value extraction in the defect reconstruction also includes the detection signal value of the inherent heat dissipation fins or heat dissipation threads on the pipe wall of the detected metal pipe. In the detection signal defect reconstruction, the uneven detection signal formed by the heat dissipation fins or heat dissipation threads needs to filter the influence of the heat dissipation fin or heat dissipation thread detection signal.

[0012] Further, the excitation coil and the detection coil of the eddy current sensor coil of the inner-wearing far-field eddy current detection probe are respectively provided with a permanent magnet ring. The permanent magnet ring is arranged on the inner-wearing far-field eddy current detection probe, which further improves the far-field eddy current detection capability and meets the engineering detection application requirements. The permanent magnet ring is symmetrically arranged on the inner side or the outer side of the excitation coil and the detection coil, thereby enhancing the indirect coupling magnetic field strength of the excitation coil and the detection coil of the eddy current detection sensor.

[0013] Further, the calibration process in the a step further includes signal calibration between the spacing between the excitation coil and the detection coil in the eddy current sensor coil and the spacing of the inherent heat dissipation fins or heat dissipation threads on the pipe wall. Through the spacing signal value of the heat dissipation fin / heat dissipation thread of the calibrated standard part, the spacing between the excitation coil and the detection coil in the eddy current detection coil is adjusted, so that the coil spacing is equal to the spacing of the heat dissipation fin / heat dissipation thread.

[0014] Further, in the coil spacing equal to the heat dissipation fin / heat dissipation thread spacing adjustment signal calibration, through the process of gradually increasing the adjustment spacing by moving the coil in sequence, the real-time fixed-point detection signal peak value of different coil spacings is extracted, the spacing at which the maximum value appears for the first time or its multiple spacings are compared and extracted as the coil spacing equal to the heat dissipation fin / heat dissipation thread spacing calibration value. Generally, the adjustment spacing is gradually increased in sequence from the minimum value, that is, the spacing between the excitation coil and the detection coil is adjusted from zero, that is, the two coils are gradually separated from the overlapping state, that is, the first appearance of the detection signal peak value is the spacing point at which the two coils first align with the heat dissipation fin / heat dissipation thread protrusion point, which is used as the spacing calibration value.

[0015] Further, the coil spacing is equal to the heat dissipation fin / heat dissipation thread spacing adjustment signal calibration. In the process of gradually reducing the adjustment spacing by moving the coil, a large number of real-time fixed-point detection signal peaks of different coil spacings are extracted, and the spacing at which the last detection signal peak appears or its multiple spacing is extracted as the maximum value, as the coil spacing equal to the heat dissipation fin / heat dissipation thread spacing calibration value. In the calibration process of gradually reducing the adjustment spacing from the large spacing between the excitation coil and the detection coil, multiple detection signal peaks may appear, and the last detection signal peak that appears when the spacing is smallest is used as the spacing calibration value.

[0016] Further, the coil spacing is equal to the heat dissipation fin / heat dissipation thread spacing adjustment signal calibration. In the process of gradually reducing the adjustment spacing by moving the coil, a large number of real-time fixed-point detection signal peaks of different coil spacings are extracted, and the spacing at which the last detection signal peak appears or its multiple spacing is extracted as the maximum value, as the coil spacing equal to the heat dissipation fin / heat dissipation thread spacing calibration value. In the calibration process of gradually reducing the adjustment spacing from the large spacing between the excitation coil and the detection coil, multiple detection signal peaks may appear, and the last detection signal peak that appears when the spacing is smallest is used as the spacing calibration value.

[0017] Further, the coil spacing is equal to the heat dissipation fin / heat dissipation thread spacing adjustment signal calibration. In the process of gradually reducing the adjustment spacing by moving the coil, a large number of real-time fixed-point detection signal peaks of different coil spacings are extracted, and the spacing at which the last detection signal peak appears or its multiple spacing is extracted as the maximum value, as the coil spacing equal to the heat dissipation fin / heat dissipation thread spacing calibration value. In the calibration process of gradually reducing the adjustment spacing from the large spacing between the excitation coil and the detection coil, multiple detection signal peaks may appear, and the last detection signal peak that appears when the spacing is smallest is used as the spacing calibration value.

[0018] Further, the coil spacing is equal to the heat dissipation fin / heat dissipation thread spacing adjustment signal calibration. In the process of gradually reducing the adjustment spacing by moving the coil, a large number of real-time fixed-point detection signal peaks of different coil spacings are extracted, and the spacing at which the last detection signal peak appears or its multiple spacing is extracted as the maximum value, as the coil spacing equal to the heat dissipation fin / heat dissipation thread spacing calibration value. In the calibration process of gradually reducing the adjustment spacing from the large spacing between the excitation coil and the detection coil, multiple detection signal peaks may appear, and the last detection signal peak that appears when the spacing is smallest is used as the spacing calibration value.

[0019] The application also discloses a heat dissipation metal pipe far field eddy current detection device for nondestructive testing of heat conduction metal pipes with heat dissipation fins (11a) or heat dissipation threads (11b) on the pipe wall (11) of the metal pipe (1), which comprises a signal-coupled eddy current detection instrument (3) and an inner-wearing far field eddy current detection probe (2), and is characterized in that the excitation coil (21) and the detection coil (22) of the inner-wearing far field eddy current detection probe (2) are slidably arranged on the detection device support (23), the excitation coil (21) and the detection coil (22) are respectively provided with a first permanent magnet ring (24) and a second permanent magnet ring (25), and the relative distance between the excitation coil (21) and the detection coil (22) can be slidably adjusted when the inner-wearing far field eddy current detection probe is worn in the metal pipe (1) for eddy current detection. The distance between the two coils can be adjusted by rotating the first permanent magnet ring (24) and the second permanent magnet ring (25).

[0020] Further, the distance between the excitation coil (21) and the detection coil (22) is equal to the distance between the heat dissipation fins (11a) or the heat dissipation threads (11b) or a multiple of the distance between the heat dissipation fins (11a) or the heat dissipation threads (11b). During the detection process, the detection signal directly opposite to the heat dissipation fins (11a) or the heat dissipation threads (11b) can be extracted as the analysis detection data.

[0021] According to the above technical solution, the electromagnetic signal of the eddy current sensor coil of the inner-wearing far field eddy current detection probe is indirectly coupled through the metal pipe wall, and the detection signal is constructed by using a pulse alternating current signal for excitation and detection, so that the influence of the uneven detection signal caused by the heat dissipation fins or the heat dissipation threads of the metal heat dissipation pipe is removed, and accurate detection data is obtained. In addition, the distance between the excitation coil and the detection coil is adjusted to equal the distance between the heat dissipation fins or the heat dissipation threads by calibrating the distance between the excitation coil and the detection coil, so that the large detection signal is enhanced, and the difficulty of defect data construction is simplified. Furthermore, the excitation coil and the detection coil are respectively provided with permanent magnet rings with different polarities, which further improves the far field eddy current detection capability and meets the engineering detection application requirements.
