Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ultrasonic detection, in particular to a clamping device, a detection device and a detection method for solid-coupled ultrasonic detection. Background Art
[0002] Ultrasonic waves have good penetrability and directivity, can penetrate objects and reflect when encountering an interface, so as to accurately draw the internal structural details of the object or identify potential defect areas. For this reason, ultrasonic scanning technology, as a leader in "non-destructive testing", is widely used in many fields such as aerospace, automotive manufacturing, materials science and medical diagnosis, and has become an indispensable part of ensuring product quality and safety.
[0003] In actual operation, to ensure that ultrasonic waves can be efficiently and accurately transmitted into the part to be tested and clear reflection signals can be collected, the detection environment is crucial. Specifically, the part to be tested and the ultrasonic probe need to be placed in a liquid couplant reservoir filled with liquid couplant. The liquid couplant can effectively eliminate the hindrance of air to the propagation of ultrasonic waves (because the propagation speed of ultrasonic waves in air is much lower than that in liquids or solids, and the presence of bubbles at the ultrasonic scanning interface will have a greater impact on the scanning imaging), and also reduces the energy loss of ultrasonic waves at the medium interface through its good acoustic impedance matching characteristics, ensuring the clarity and accuracy of the scanning image.
[0004] However, the detection method of complete immersion in liquid couplant may cause damage or contamination to the part to be tested. In addition, during the operation of clamping the part to be tested, if the operation is improper, the liquid couplant is easily carried out, which not only increases the difficulty of cleaning, but also may contaminate the detection equipment.
[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a clamping device, a detection device and a detection method for ultrasonic detection that do not directly contact the liquid couplant to solve the problem of damage and contamination of the part to be tested. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The applicant provides a clamping device, a detection device and a detection method for solid-coupled ultrasonic detection to avoid the direct contact between the sample to be tested and the liquid coupling medium during the ultrasonic detection process and achieve better detection effects.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A clamping device for solid-coupled ultrasonic detection includes a liquid reservoir unit assembly. The liquid reservoir unit assembly includes at least two liquid reservoir units. Among them, at least one part to be measured is arranged between two adjacent liquid reservoir units, and a solid-coupled flexible layer is arranged on the contact surface between the liquid reservoir unit and the part to be measured; when the part to be measured is not clamped, at least one liquid reservoir unit is arranged obliquely; when the part to be measured is clamped, the two liquid reservoir units move towards each other and abut against each other, and the obliquely arranged liquid reservoir unit returns to the upright position. The two liquid reservoir units correspond to each other and are in close contact to clamp the part to be measured between the two liquid reservoir units, and the solid-coupled flexible layer between the part to be measured and the adjacent two liquid reservoir units is closely attached.
[0008] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:
[0009] In one embodiment, when using two adjacent liquid reservoir units to clamp the part to be measured, the two liquid reservoir units at least include a relaxed state in which the part to be measured is not clamped and a clamping state in which the part to be measured is clamped. Among them, in the relaxed state, the part to be measured is not clamped by the two adjacent liquid reservoir units, and at least one surface of the solid-coupled flexible layer and the surface of the part to be measured are arranged at a first angle; in the clamping state, the part to be measured is clamped by the two adjacent liquid reservoir units, the part to be measured is closely attached to the solid-coupled flexible layer between the two adjacent liquid reservoir units, and the surfaces of the solid-coupled flexible layer and the part to be measured are both in a parallel and attached distribution; during the conversion process of the two adjacent liquid reservoir units from the relaxed state to the clamping state, the angle between the surface of the solid-coupled flexible layer and the surface of the part to be measured gradually decreases from the first angle until it reaches 0° in the clamping state.
[0010] In one embodiment, one of the two liquid reservoir units is inclined, and the inclined liquid reservoir unit is in an inclined state by cooperating with a rotating assembly;
[0011] Alternatively, both of the two liquid reservoir units are inclined, and each of the two liquid reservoir units is matched with a corresponding rotating assembly and the two liquid reservoir units are simultaneously in an inclined state.
[0012] In one embodiment, the rotating assembly is connected to the liquid reservoir unit through a rotating shaft to realize the rotation of the liquid reservoir unit during the inclined state and the return to the upright process.
[0013] In one embodiment, a motion assembly is assembled outside at least one liquid reservoir unit, and the motion assembly drives the connected liquid reservoir unit to move to achieve the opposite movement of the two liquid reservoir units for gradual fitting.
[0014] In one embodiment, when the two liquid reservoir units are driven by the motion assembly to move towards each other, a reference side wall of the solid coupling flexible layer on the two liquid reservoir units first contacts, or the solid coupling flexible layer on the two liquid reservoir units first contacts a reference side wall of the part to be measured; after the reference side wall contacts, the two liquid reservoir units are driven in a direction perpendicular to the reference side wall until the solid coupling flexible layer is in full contact with the part to be measured; the reference side wall is a side edge, bottom edge or top edge of the solid coupling flexible layer or the part to be measured.
[0015] In one embodiment, it further includes a guiding assembly arranged in the moving direction of the liquid reservoir unit; during the process of the two liquid reservoir units moving towards each other, the guiding assembly guides the moving liquid reservoir unit.
[0016] A solid coupling ultrasonic detection device includes a clamping device for solid coupling ultrasonic detection and a probe assembly.
[0017] In one embodiment, the probe assembly includes a probe and a displacement assembly arranged oppositely, the probe extends into the corresponding liquid reservoir unit and is located on both sides of the part to be measured; the displacement assembly is used to drive the probe to move up, down, left and right in a straight line direction.
[0018] A solid coupling ultrasonic detection method includes the following steps: attaching a solid coupling flexible layer on the opposite surfaces of the two liquid reservoir units, wherein at least one liquid reservoir unit is inclined, and the part to be measured is located between the two liquid reservoir units;
[0019] Driving the two liquid reservoir units to move towards each other until a side wall of the solid coupling flexible layer on the liquid reservoir unit first contacts, or until a side wall of the solid coupling flexible layer on the liquid reservoir unit first contacts the part to be measured;
[0020] Driving the two liquid reservoir units to continue moving towards each other, taking the contacted side wall as a reference, and continuing to approach along a direction perpendicular to the contacted side wall until the two liquid reservoir units correspond and are in close contact, wherein during the process of driving the two liquid reservoir units to be in close contact, the air between the solid coupling flexible layer and the part to be measured is discharged;
[0021] When the two liquid reservoir units clamp the part to be measured, a liquid coupling agent is added to the two liquid reservoir units, and the probe assembly extends into the liquid coupling agent in the liquid reservoir unit;
[0022] The probe assembly moves in the liquid coupling agent of the liquid reservoir unit and performs ultrasonic scanning on the part to be measured.
[0023] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0024] The clamping device for solid-coupled ultrasonic testing provided by the present invention is applied in ultrasonic testing. The part to be tested is tightly clamped between two liquid reservoir units, and a solid-coupled flexible layer is arranged on the contact surface between the liquid reservoir unit and the part to be tested. After the two liquid reservoir units move towards each other and during the process of abutting and returning to the correct position, the air between the part to be tested and the solid-coupled flexible layer is gradually discharged. At the same time, the probe assembly extends into the liquid coupling agent in the liquid reservoir unit for ultrasonic scanning, ensuring the ultrasonic testing effect, avoiding the influence of air on ultrasonic testing, and the part to be tested does not contact the liquid coupling agent, preventing damage and contamination.

At this time, the inclination angle between the first solid coupling flexible layer 25 and the battery body 41 is the angle α.
[0094] Step 3: The first liquid reservoir 21 continues to be pushed by the liquid reservoir push plate 64, and the second liquid reservoir 31 gradually returns to the normal position through the rotating assembly 9, and the angle α between the first solid coupling flexible layer 25 and the battery body 41 gradually decreases until the second liquid reservoir 31 is supported by the front limit adjustment screw 922 of the front limit member 92. At this time, the first solid coupling flexible layer 25 and the battery body 41 are tightly fitted, and the angle α between the first solid coupling flexible layer 25 and the battery body 41 is 0°. The battery body 41 is completely clamped by the first solid coupling flexible layer 25 and the second solid coupling flexible layer 32 on both sides; in the process of the angle α becoming 0°, the surface air between the battery body 41 and the first solid coupling flexible layer 25 is discharged;
[0095] Step 4: Add liquid coupling agent to the first liquid reservoir 21 and the second liquid reservoir 31 to ensure that the liquid level exceeds the uppermost end of the battery body 41. The probe assembly 1 descends, and the first ultrasonic probe 12 and the second ultrasonic probe 13 enter the first liquid reservoir 21 and the second liquid reservoir 31 respectively. The first ultrasonic probe 12 and the second ultrasonic probe 13 are located on the side of the battery body 41 and move up, down, left and right in a straight line direction to perform ultrasonic detection scanning.
[0096] Embodiment 2:
[0097] The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment lies in that: the clamping device for solid-coupled ultrasonic detection provided in this embodiment includes a liquid reservoir unit assembly. The liquid reservoir unit assembly includes a plurality of liquid reservoir units, which are arranged side by side. A motion component 6 is assembled on the liquid reservoir unit at the left or right end. A limiting component is provided at the end of the liquid reservoir unit far from the motion component 6. Through the cooperation of the motion component 6 and the limiting component, the plurality of liquid reservoir units are closely attached to each other, and a battery body 41 is arranged between every two adjacent liquid reservoir units; the probe assembly 1 performs ultrasonic scanning by entering the liquid couplant in two adjacent liquid reservoir units.
[0098] Embodiment Three:
[0099] The difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment lies in that: for the clamping device for solid-coupled ultrasonic detection provided in this embodiment, both the first liquid reservoir unit 2 and the second liquid reservoir unit 3 are inclined, and the first liquid reservoir unit 2 and the second liquid reservoir unit 3 respectively match corresponding rotation components 9 and are simultaneously in an inclined state;
[0100] The top of the battery body 41 is fixed by a clamping plate. The battery body 41 is vertically arranged between the first liquid reservoir unit 2 and the second liquid reservoir unit 3. When the battery body 41 is in a slack state without being clamped, there is an included angle α between both the first solid-coupled flexible layer 25 and the second solid-coupled flexible layer 32 and the surface of the battery body 41. During the process of converting from the slack state to the clamping state, the corresponding rotation components 9 of the first liquid reservoir unit 2 and the second liquid reservoir unit 3 are rotated so that the included angle α between the surfaces of the first solid-coupled flexible layer 25 and the second solid-coupled flexible layer 32 and the surface of the battery body 41 gradually becomes smaller until it reaches 0 o , and the battery body 41 is clamped by the first liquid reservoir unit 2 and the second liquid reservoir unit 3 and is closely attached to the opposite first solid-coupled flexible layer 25 and the second solid-coupled flexible layer 32. The process in which the included angle α gradually becomes 0 o can discharge the air between the corresponding contact surfaces of the first solid-coupled flexible layer 25, the second solid-coupled flexible layer 32 and the battery body 41.
[0101] Embodiment Three is the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and its ultrasonic scanning spectrogram is as Figure 12 shown.
[0102] Comparative Example One:
[0103] The difference between Comparative Example One and Embodiment Three lies in that: when the liquid reservoir unit in Comparative Example One is in a slack state, there is no included angle between both the first solid-coupled flexible layer 25 and the second solid-coupled flexible layer 32 and the surface of the battery body 41. Therefore, there is no process in which the included angle α gradually becomes 0 during the fitting process of the first solid-coupled flexible layer 25 and the second solid-coupled flexible layer 32 oThe process of discharging the air on the contact surface of the battery body 41.
[0104] After ultrasonic inspection of the battery body 41 in the clamping state in Comparative Example 1, the obtained scanning pattern is as Figure 13 shown, and there are bubbles.
[0105] By comparing the scanning pattern in Example 3 (as Figure 12 shown) with the scanning pattern in Comparative Example 1 (as Figure 13 shown), it can be known that:
[0106] In Comparative Example 1, since there is no included angle α between both the first solid-coupling flexible layer 25 and the second solid-coupling flexible layer 32 and the surface of the part 4 to be measured gradually becomes 0 o , ultrasonic inspection in the clamping state in Comparative Example 1 cannot avoid the interference of bubbles;
[0107] For the clamping device for solid-coupling ultrasonic inspection in Example 3, during the clamping process, when the liquid storage unit changes from the inclined state to the upright state, the included angle α gradually decreases until 0°, and both the first solid-coupling flexible layer 25 and the second solid-coupling flexible layer 32 discharge the air on the contact surface with the battery body 41. After discharging the air on the surfaces of both contact ends, as Figure 12 shown, it can be directly seen that the ultrasonic scanning result in Example 3 avoids the interference of bubbles, and the ultrasonic inspection scanning effect is better.
[0108] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brief description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.
[0109] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention patent should be subject to the appended claims.
