Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nondestructive testing, and in particular relates to an automated ultrasonic phased array testing device and a testing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Carbon fiber composite material is a high-performance composite material with carbon fiber as reinforcement and resin as matrix. It has excellent properties such as light weight, high strength, high modulus, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. It is widely used in aerospace, military, automobile, construction and other fields. However, the manufacturing process of carbon fiber composite materials is very complicated. There are both chemical reactions and physical changes. Many slight differences in process parameters will cause many defects, making the product quality obviously discrete. In actual engineering, inspection personnel need to take accurate and effective measures to repair the defects according to the type of defects. Therefore, it is of great significance to accurately and reliably identify the internal defects of carbon fiber composite materials.
[0003] Many non-destructive testing methods are used for defect detection of carbon fiber composite materials, among which the most mature and widely used detection method is ultrasonic testing. Ultrasonic testing detects defects in materials based on the reflection, transmission and energy attenuation of ultrasonic waves caused by differences in acoustic properties between different materials. It has the advantages of high detection sensitivity, fast detection speed, strong penetration and harmlessness to the body. When traditional ultrasonic testing is used to detect materials, the ultrasonic beam diffuses outward to a certain extent, resulting in insufficient energy of the sound beam for defects inside the material, and thus the probability of detecting tiny defects inside the material is low.
[0004] The development of focused probes has overcome the disadvantage of unconcentrated sound beam energy. The sound field energy emitted by the focused probe is concentrated, with high resolution and high sensitivity. However, the sound beam of the focused probe is very thin and the defect detection rate is very low. Therefore, based on the development of focused probes, ultrasonic phased array nondestructive testing has set up a large number of array elements to improve the range and defect detection rate of defect detection. Compared with traditional ultrasonic nondestructive testing technology, the ultrasonic sound beam of ultrasonic phased array nondestructive testing can scan workpieces at multiple angles and directions, and can perform all-round scanning of workpieces with complex shapes. It has good identifiability and improves the detection speed. However, the defect detection accuracy of existing ultrasonic phased array equipment is insufficient, and the degree of automation is insufficient, which makes the detection results inaccurate and the scanning is not comprehensive enough. Summary of the invention
[0005] Based on the above-mentioned shortcomings and deficiencies in the prior art, one of the objects of the present invention is to at least solve one or more of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art. In other words, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide an automated ultrasonic phased array detection device and a detection method thereof that meet one or more of the above-mentioned needs.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] An automated ultrasonic phased array detection device comprises a moving seat, an ultrasonic phased array probe, a transducer, a probe clamping frame, a wheel encoder, and a phased array controller. The probe clamping frame is arranged on the moving seat and is used to clamp the ultrasonic phased array probe.
[0008] The ultrasonic phased array probe comprises a metal probe and a filter. The metal probe is connected to the phased array controller through a transducer. The metal probe is used to emit an ultrasonic beam. The metal probe has a piezoelectric chip array.

The filter is fixedly installed at the bottom of the metal probe and is used to filter the deflected ultrasonic beam. The filtered ultrasonic beam performs defect scanning and detection on the workpiece to be tested. The filter is also used to filter the target ultrasonic beam reflected after the defect scanning and detection. The filtered target ultrasonic beam is focused by controlling the piezoelectric chip array through the transducer. The focused ultrasonic beam is converted into an electrical signal by the transducer and input into the phased array controller. The phased array controller converts the received electrical signal into a detection image.
