Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of carbon fiber cable testing technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus and equipment for detecting defects in the crimped parts of carbon fiber cables with enhanced contrast. Background Technology

[0002] Carbon fiber cores can replace traditional steel-cored aluminum stranded wires, increasing the transmission capacity of overhead power lines. They offer advantages such as light weight, high strength, high temperature resistance, and large transmission capacity, making them a promising new type of conductor. To ensure the widespread application of carbon fiber core conductors, necessary defect detection methods must be employed, especially at the crimping points of the carbon fiber core. These crimping points are subjected to significant pressure and are the weakest points in the entire cable line. Because the carbon fiber core is encased in an aluminum layer, and there are hardware fittings attached to the crimping points, traditional visual inspection and penetrant testing methods are difficult to apply to these areas.

[0003] X-ray inspection is an effective non-destructive testing technique that can detect internal defects in carbon fiber cores and obtain images of these defects for subsequent defect type identification. X-rays can be used to detect damage to carbon fiber cores in non-crimped sections; however, in crimped sections, the larger radius of the crimped area makes it difficult for portable X-ray instruments to penetrate, resulting in insufficient image contrast and hindering subsequent defect diagnosis.

[0025] Based on the detection image showing glue penetration into the high-density composite and a depression in the metal film of the high-density composite, a major defect is identified in the carbon fiber core at the crimping point of the cable.

[0051] To make the inventive objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0052] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0053] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0054] This application provides a method, apparatus, and device for detecting defects in the crimped portion of carbon fiber cables with enhanced contrast. It solves the technical problem that existing methods for detecting cables with crimped portions using X-rays suffer from insufficient image contrast due to the difficulty of X-ray instruments penetrating the surface, making it impossible to diagnose defects based on the images.

[0055] Example 1:

[0056] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the steps of the method for detecting defects in the crimped portion of carbon fiber cables to enhance contrast, as described in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the cable to be crimped in the method for detecting defects in the crimped portion of carbon fiber cables with enhanced contrast, as described in the embodiments of this application.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application provides a method for detecting defects in the crimping parts of carbon fiber cables with enhanced contrast, including the following steps:

[0058] S1. Obtain a cable with a crimped portion, and use the exposed carbon fiber core of the crimped portion of the cable as the inspection area.

[0059] It should be noted that in step S1, the cable with the crimped part to be tested is processed by peeling off the aluminum wire on the surface of the carbon fiber core of the cable to expose the carbon fiber core of the crimped part, and the exposed carbon fiber core is used as the testing area.

[0060] S2. A high-density composite material is wound around the detection area to obtain the cable to be crimped.

[0061] It should be noted that in step S2, a high-density composite material is wound around the detection area of ​​step S1 to obtain the cable to be crimped, which facilitates subsequent defect detection at the cable crimping site. The high-density composite material covering the carbon fiber core surface of the cable crimping site enhances the contrast of the image generated after X-ray inspection of the carbon fiber core crimping site, allowing users to easily determine the state and type of crimping defects based on the image. In this embodiment, as... Figure 2 As shown, when winding the high-density composite in the testing area, it is necessary to rotate the winding to ensure uniform and consistent material coverage on the surface of the carbon fiber core. It is also essential to ensure that the high-density composite completely and tightly covers the testing area, with no gaps between the high-density composite and the testing area. Figure 2 As shown. 301 is the carbon fiber core segment that needs to be crimped, and 302 is the high-density composite material that is rotated and wound around the carbon fiber core segment. During winding, it is necessary to ensure that there are no gaps at each adjacent junction and that there are no overlapping parts to ensure the testing effect.

[0062] In this embodiment of the application, the method for detecting defects at the crimped portion of the carbon fiber cable with enhanced contrast includes: fabricating a high-density composite, the steps of fabricating the high-density composite including:

[0063] Obtain a metal thin film that matches the specifications of the detection area;

[0064] One side of the metal film is used as the winding side, and a high-density iodine solution adhesive is evenly applied to the winding side to obtain a high-density composite.

[0065] Among them, the high-density iodine solution glue is formed by mixing iodine solution and solvent glue to form a gel or semi-fluid state with a concentration greater than 500 mg / ml; the thickness of the high-density composite is less than 0.1 mm, and the density of the high-density iodine solution glue is greater than the density of the high-density composite.

[0066] It should be noted that the metal film can be a high-density metal film material. The high-density iodine solution adhesive is a mixture of a high-density iodine solution and a solvent adhesive. The iodine solution contains iodine and its compound groups, preferably at a concentration of 500 mg / ml or higher, and the solvent adhesive should be able to dissolve iodine and its compound groups. The density of the high-density composite should be greater than the density of the aluminum liner material outside the carbon fiber core of the cable. The high-density composite is a flexible, cuttable lead foil film. The formed high-density composite consists of a layer of high-density metal film and a high-density iodine solution adhesive uniformly coated on one side of the metal film surface. In this embodiment, the high-density iodine solution adhesive is gel-like or semi-fluid, which can fill the gaps on the surface of the carbon fiber core well, helping to detect small features of defects, such as burrs, defects, and short strands. The high-density metal film plays a fixing role, and at the same time, the high-density metal film has better imaging effect, which helps to detect larger defects, such as splitting, fracture, and large deformation. This enhanced-contrast method for detecting defects in carbon fiber cable crimped joints enhances the contrast of X-ray images of defects in the tension clamp section of the carbon fiber conductor by wrapping a high-density composite material around the inspection area. If only high-density iodine solution adhesive is applied to the inspection area, the adhesive layer will be very thin after crimping, resulting in poor imaging. Furthermore, large defects require a large amount of high-density iodine solution adhesive, and the aluminum liner cannot be properly fitted onto the surface after the coating layer is applied. If only a high-density metal film is used, it is difficult to detect the detailed features of the defect, as the flexibility and plasticity of the metal film are far inferior to that of high-density iodine solution adhesive, leading to missed detections.

[0067] In this embodiment, a high-density metal film is cut to match the length and radius of the carbon fiber core crimped section in the detection area.

[0068] S3. Fit the aluminum liner tube onto the cable to be crimped and crimp it using a crimping device to obtain the cable to be tested.

[0069] It should be noted that in step S3, the cable to be crimped obtained in step S2 is crimped with an aluminum liner using a crimping device to form the cable to be tested. Existing, relatively mature crimping machines can be selected as the crimping device.

[0070] S4. Use X-ray inspection equipment to inspect the crimped parts of the cable to be inspected and obtain inspection images; identify defects in the carbon fiber core of the cable based on the inspection images.

[0071] It should be noted that in step S4, the cable to be inspected obtained in step S3 is first inspected using an X-ray inspection device to obtain an inspection image; secondly, defects in the carbon fiber core in the inspection area of ​​the inspection image are identified. Specifically, this method for detecting defects in the crimped portion of the carbon fiber cable using enhanced contrast involves inspecting the crimped portion of the cable for defects using an X-ray inspection device. Since the density of the high-density composite material made of high-density iodine solution glue and high-density metal film is very high, far exceeding that of the aluminum liner, defects in the carbon fiber core in the crimped portion of the cable can be indirectly measured by observing the projection state of the high-density composite material in the cable to be inspected, which is wrapped with the high-density composite material.

[0072] This application provides a method for detecting defects in the crimped portion of carbon fiber cables with enhanced contrast. The method includes acquiring a cable with a crimped portion, exposing the carbon fiber core of the crimped portion as the detection area; wrapping a high-density composite material around the detection area to obtain a cable to be crimped; fitting an aluminum liner to the cable to be crimped and crimping it using a crimping device to obtain a cable to be inspected; using an X-ray inspection device to inspect the crimped portion of the cable to obtain an inspection image; and identifying defects in the carbon fiber core of the cable based on the inspection image. This method for detecting defects in the crimped portion of carbon fiber cables with enhanced contrast physically enhances the contrast of the inspection image obtained after X-ray inspection of the carbon fiber core in the crimped portion by coating the detection area on the surface of the carbon fiber core with a high-density composite material. This facilitates the identification of the state and type of crimping defects based on the inspection image, solving the technical problem of insufficient image contrast and inability to diagnose defects based on existing X-ray inspections of cables with crimped portions due to the difficulty of X-ray penetration.

[0073] In one embodiment of this application, a high-density composite material is wound around the detection area to obtain the cable to be crimped, comprising:

[0074] Obtain parameter data for the cable and thickness data for the high-density composite. The parameter data includes the inner diameter of the aluminum liner in the cable and the outer diameter of the carbon fiber core in the cable.

[0075] The number of winding layers is calculated based on the parameter data and thickness data;

[0076] According to the number of winding layers, the winding side of the high-density composite is tightly wound onto the detection area to obtain the cable to be crimped;

[0077] The number of winding layers is calculated using the layer calculation formula based on the parameter data and thickness data. The layer calculation formula is as follows:

[0078]

[0079]

[0080] In the formula, L is the number of winding layers, R1 is the inner diameter of the aluminum liner in the cable, R2 is the outer diameter of the carbon fiber core in the cable, and D is the thickness data of the high-density composite.

[0081] It should be noted that, to ensure a more obvious detection effect of the defect detection method for the crimped parts of the carbon fiber cable with enhanced contrast, the number of winding layers should be higher than two. However, the number of layers should not be too high, as an excessive number of layers will result in a large thickness of the high-density composite, reducing its ability to reflect the defect state. The specific layer requirement is related to the cable parameters and the thickness of the high-density composite. The preferred number of layers should not exceed the number of winding layers calculated using the layer calculation formula.

[0082] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating defect identification in the contrast-enhancing carbon fiber cable crimping defect detection method described in this application embodiment.

[0083] In one embodiment of this application, detecting defects in the carbon fiber core of the image recognition cable includes:

[0084] Based on the detection image showing that only the high-density composite adhesive has penetrated the carbon fiber core, a small defect has been identified in the carbon fiber core at the crimping part of the cable.

[0085] Based on the detection image showing glue penetration into the high-density composite and the depression of the metal film in the high-density composite, a major defect in the carbon fiber core at the crimping point of the cable is identified.

[0086] It should be noted that, as Figure 3 As shown, for small defects in the carbon fiber core 301 of the cable, the high-density iodine solution adhesive 202 in the high-density composite can fill the defect; for large defects in the carbon fiber core 301 of the cable, the metal film 201 in the high-density composite can create corresponding depressions. The defect state of the carbon fiber core can be determined based on the projection of the high-density composite after X-ray imaging. This high-density composite effectively covers common defect types of both large and small, and has a wide range of applications.

[0087] In this embodiment, since the high-density composite tightly and uniformly covers the detection area (i.e., the surface of the carbon fiber core), when the carbon fiber core suffers defects such as breakage or insufficient pressure due to compression bonding, the high-density composite will also exhibit breakage or insufficient pressure. Therefore, by detecting the dark projection of the high-density composite, defects in the cable's carbon fiber core can be indirectly measured. Because the projection color of the high-density metal film is dark, the imaging contrast is very obvious. Furthermore, the high-density iodine solution adhesive and metal film in the high-density composite effectively cover common defect types of varying sizes, making it widely applicable and ultimately achieving high contrast in X-ray detection of defects in the tension clamp section of reinforced carbon fiber conductors.

[0088] Example 2:

[0089] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the carbon fiber cable crimping defect detection device with enhanced contrast described in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 In the diagram, 401 represents the cable, 404 represents the aluminum liner, and 405 represents the external crimping fixture.

[0090] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a carbon fiber cable crimping defect detection device with enhanced contrast, including a detection table and a data processing device 408 connected to the detection table. An X-ray emitter 406 and an X-ray image receiver 407 are arranged on the detection table. The cable to be tested, manufactured by the carbon fiber cable crimping defect detection method with enhanced contrast, is arranged between the X-ray emitter 406 and the X-ray image receiver 407. The data processing device 408 is used to receive the detection image transmitted by the X-ray image receiver and process the detection image using the above-mentioned carbon fiber cable crimping defect detection method with enhanced contrast.

[0091] It should be noted that the data processing device 408 can be a computer, platform, or other mobile terminal. The method for detecting defects at the crimped joints of carbon fiber cables with enhanced contrast has already been described in Embodiment 1 and will not be repeated here. This high-contrast carbon fiber cable crimped joint defect detection device uses a testing platform to inspect the cable to be tested, which has a high-density composite structure. The data processing device processes the detected image, and during the processing, defects in the carbon fiber core of the cable can be indirectly measured through the projection of the high-density composite structure.

[0092] Example 3:

[0093] Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating the framework of the contrast-enhancing carbon fiber cable crimping defect detection device described in this application embodiment.

[0094] like Figure 5 As shown, this application embodiment provides a carbon fiber cable crimping defect detection device with enhanced contrast, including a detection area fabrication module 10, a winding module 20, a crimping module 30, and a detection and identification module 40;

[0095] The detection area creation module 10 is used to obtain cables with crimped parts and expose the carbon fiber core of the crimped part of the cable as the detection area.

[0096] The winding module 20 is used to wind a high-density composite material around the detection area to obtain the cable to be crimped.

[0097] The crimping module 30 is used to fit the aluminum liner tube onto the cable to be crimped and crimp it using a crimping device to obtain the cable to be tested.

[0098] The detection and identification module 40 is used to use X-ray detection equipment to detect the crimped part of the cable to be inspected and obtain the detection image; and to identify the defects in the carbon fiber core of the cable based on the detection image.

[0099] The winding module 20 is also used to fabricate high-density composites, the steps of which include:

[0100] Obtain a metal thin film that matches the specifications of the detection area;

[0101] One side of the metal film is used as the winding side, and a high-density iodine solution adhesive is evenly applied to the winding side to obtain a high-density composite.

[0102] Among them, the high-density iodine solution glue is formed by mixing iodine solution and solvent glue to form a gel or semi-fluid state with a concentration greater than 500 mg / ml; the thickness of the high-density composite is less than 0.1 mm, and the density of the high-density iodine solution glue is greater than the density of the high-density composite.

[0103] In this embodiment, the winding module 20 is further used to acquire parameter data of the cable and thickness data of the high-density composite. The parameter data includes the inner diameter of the aluminum liner in the cable and the outer diameter of the carbon fiber core in the cable. The number of winding layers is calculated using a layer calculation formula based on the parameter data and thickness data. The high-density composite is then tightly wound around the detection area according to the number of winding layers to obtain the cable to be crimped. The layer calculation formula is:

[0104]

[0105]

[0106] In the formula, L is the number of winding layers, R1 is the inner diameter of the aluminum liner in the cable, R2 is the outer diameter of the carbon fiber core in the cable, and D is the thickness data of the high-density composite.

[0107] In this embodiment of the application, the detection and identification module 40 is further configured to identify a small defect in the carbon fiber core of the cable at the crimping part if the carbon fiber core of the detection image shows only glue penetration into the high-density composite; and to identify a large defect in the carbon fiber core of the cable at the crimping part if the carbon fiber core of the detection image shows glue penetration into the high-density composite and the metal film of the high-density composite is recessed.

[0108] It should be noted that the modules in the device of Embodiment 3 correspond to the steps in the method of Embodiment 1. The content of the method for detecting defects in the crimped part of the carbon fiber cable with enhanced contrast has been described in detail in Embodiment 1. Therefore, the content of the modules in the device will not be described in detail in Embodiment 3.
