Therefore, the electrode pair is very sensitive to the change of the coating performance state. The electrode pair is not exposed to the external environment and will not be affected by the external environment change to affect the accuracy of the monitoring data. The advantage of the design is that the electrode is completely isolated from the base metal material by the insulating material and has no electrical connection, and the integrity of the coating is not damaged.

[0037] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the online in-situ monitoring device for the aging state of an organic coating layer of the application comprises an electrode pair, a multi-channel impedance test unit 1, and a remote control unit 2 connected to the multi-channel impedance test unit 1. The electrode pair is used to be embedded in the base metal 4 of the coated metal piece 3 to be tested (coated metal member or equipment, including the base metal and the coating layer of the metal member or equipment). The material of the electrode pair is the same as that of the base metal 4. The upper end of the electrode pair is in contact with the coating layer 5 of the coated metal piece 3 to be tested, and the lower end is connected to the multi-channel impedance test unit 1. The multi-channel impedance test unit 1 collects the coating impedance data of the coated metal piece to be tested and analyzes and obtains the calculation results. The remote control unit 2 evaluates the in-situ service coating aging state of the coated metal piece to be tested according to the calculation results.

[0038] The electrode pair includes a columnar counter electrode 6, a ring-shaped working electrode 7, a grounding wire 8 and an electrode external wire 9. The wall thickness of the working electrode 7 is 8-10 mm, and the outer ring diameter is 35-45 mm. The diameter of the counter electrode 6 is 5-10 mm. A ring-shaped groove penetrating the base metal and a mounting groove located at the center of the ring-shaped groove are formed on the coated metal piece 3 to be measured. The depths of the ring-shaped groove and the mounting groove are the same as the thickness of the base metal.

The counter electrode 6 is flush with the surface of the base metal at one end of the mounting groove, and the working electrode 7 is flush with the surface of the base metal at one end of the ring-shaped groove. One end of the grounding wire 8 is connected to the base metal 4, and the other end is grounded. One end of the electrode external wire 9 is connected to the electrode pair, and the other end is connected to the multi-channel impedance test unit 1. An electrode interface for connecting the electrode external wire is arranged on the coated metal piece 3 to be measured, and a shielding cover is arranged on the electrode interface. The annular part of the base metal 4 between the working electrode 7 and the counter electrode 6 is a guard ring 10 for reducing the coupling between the electrodes.

[0039] The multi-channel impedance test unit 1 is composed of a shell, a control panel arranged on the shell, a data acquisition module, an analysis module and a communication module built-in the shell. The analysis module is connected with the data acquisition module, the communication module and the control panel, wherein the analysis module performs fitting analysis and calculation on the coating impedance data collected by the data acquisition module. The remote control unit 2 is composed of a server, a monitoring management system software and a communication module, which performs trend analysis or screening or grading on the fitting analysis and calculation results. The number of impedance test channels of the multi-channel impedance test unit is determined by the number of test electrode pairs. The multi-channel impedance test unit 1 outputs a test disturbance sinusoidal alternating current signal through the electrode external wire 9, the voltage range of which is 0.165 V-3.3 V, and automatically selects a disturbance amplitude with higher signal quality, and the scanning frequency range is 0.1 Hz-100 KHz.

[0040] The number of embedded working electrodes and counter electrodes is determined by the area of the coating system to be measured. The effective coating area measured by the electrode pair is the coating area between the working electrode and the counter electrode, which is called the test area. The effective coating area is the test area. According to the area of the coating system to be measured, the test area is arranged following the principle of uniform distribution, and the distance between the test area and the edge of the coated metal piece to be measured is not less than 1 cm.

[0041] Installation process of this invention:

[0042] 1. Before installation and use, the annular groove and mounting groove for embedding the electrode pair should be pre-processed on the coated metal component or equipment to be tested. The depth of the annular groove and mounting groove should be consistent with the thickness of the base metal.

To ensure that the working electrode and counter electrode are insulated from the substrate metal, seal the grooves with epoxy resin. Select a location on the exposed substrate metal area of ​​the metal component or equipment to be tested and connect it to the ground using a grounding wire.

[0044] 3. Add a protective ring between the working electrode and the counter electrode to reduce inter-electrode coupling. This protective ring can be added separately or it can be a ring-shaped portion of the base metal located between the working electrode and the counter electrode.

[0045] 4. Grind the entire surface of the component or equipment with the embedded electrodes until it is smooth, and then coat the component or equipment.

[0047] 6. Install a shielding cover on the electrode interface for shielding and protection.

[0048] 7. Before monitoring begins, relevant parameters are input through the remote control unit to conduct on-site monitoring of the coating condition. The communication module between the remote control unit and the multi-channel impedance testing unit transmits data between them via wired or wireless means, using dedicated or general-purpose media. The multi-channel impedance testing unit locally caches the measurement results and transmits them to the remote control unit for user storage and use.

[0049] 8. From the moment of installation, the multi-channel impedance testing unit will test and record the impedance of the coating between electrodes according to the set testing cycle, continuing throughout the entire evaluation cycle.

[0057]

[0058] In the formula, R c - coating resistance; C c - coating capacitance, Rs- solution resistance; ω- angular frequency.

[0059] The coating aging state grading evaluation standard is based on the premise that the coating impedance modulus value is consistent with the appearance (loss of luster, color difference value, degree of powdering, etc.).

[0060] S2, using an in-situ online monitoring device for organic coating aging state to monitor the coating service state of the coated metal part to be tested in real time:

[0061] 1. Before the service component or equipment is put into use, the electrodes of the monitoring device of the application are embedded in advance at the beginning of the design.
