[0057] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0058] The following combination Figures 1-6 The nonferromagnetic conductor motion speed and defect detection device 100 of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, the non-ferromagnetic conductor motion speed and defect detection device 100 of this embodiment includes a housing 1, a first plate 2, an elastic element 5, a coil 3, and a transducer 4. The first plate 2 is connected to the housing 1 and is movable relative to the housing 1. The elastic element 5 is disposed between the first plate 2 and the housing 1. The coil 3 is connected to the first plate 2 and moves with the first plate 2. The coil 3 is used to form a magnetic field in at least a portion of the circumferential region of the housing 1. The transducer 4 is connected to the housing 1 and is used to convert the displacement signal of the first plate 2 relative to the housing 1 into an electrical signal.

[0060] It should be understood that when coil 3 is energized, it can generate a magnetic field within a certain area around the casing 1. When a non-ferromagnetic conductor moves in a certain direction (e.g., as...), Figure 1 When the coil 3 enters the magnetic field in the left-right direction (as shown in the diagram) and passes through the magnetic field, according to Ohm's law for a moving conductor, induced eddy currents are formed inside the moving conductor. Under the action of the induced eddy currents and the excitation magnetic field, a Lorentz force F is formed inside the non-ferromagnetic conductor in the opposite direction to its motion. According to Newton's third law, the coil 3 is subjected to a force Fr that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the Lorentz force F. When there are defects (cracks, non-metallic inclusions, etc.) inside the non-ferromagnetic conductor, the eddy currents inside the non-ferromagnetic conductor change, causing the Lorentz force on the coil 3 to change, which causes the first plate 2 and the coil 3 to be displaced relative to the shell 1. The transducer 4 will generate an electrical signal according to the change in the displacement of the first plate 2 and the coil 3. The presence of defects in the non-ferromagnetic conductor can be determined by the abnormal signal in the electrical signal, and the speed of the conductor can be determined by the electrical signal (e.g., the reference value of the actual output capacitance data).

[0061] Meanwhile, the speed of a non-ferromagnetic conductor can be detected by the time the electrical signal appears when the conductor enters the magnetic field and the time the electrical signal terminates when the conductor leaves the magnetic field.

[0062] The nonferromagnetic conductor motion speed and defect detection device 100 of this invention can detect the changes in Lorentz force generated during the motion of the nonferromagnetic conductor and convert the changes in Lorentz force into changes in electrical signals, thus meeting the increasing demand on daily production lines for accurate detection of the motion speed and internal micro-defects of nonferromagnetic conductors.

[0063] Optionally, the electrical signal can be a current signal, voltage signal, resistance signal, capacitance signal, etc., that converts displacement changes.

[0064] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the coil 3 is a planar coil 3, the first plate 2 has a first end face, the coil 3 is attached to the first end face, the planar coil 3 is convenient to arrange, and the magnetization direction of the magnetic field generated by the coil 3 is perpendicular to the first end face.

[0065] Furthermore, the first plate 2 is movable relative to the housing 1 along a first direction, and the first direction is parallel to the first end face; wherein, the first direction can be... Figure 1 As shown in the left and right directions, after the planar coil 3 is arranged on the first plate 2, when the non-ferromagnetic conductor passes through the magnetic field, it cuts the magnetic field lines and induced eddy currents are formed inside the non-ferromagnetic conductor. Under the action of the induced eddy currents and the excitation magnetic field, a Lorentz force F opposite to its direction of motion will be formed inside the non-ferromagnetic conductor.

[0066] When the non-ferromagnetic conductor is free of defects, the Lorentz force F will not change abnormally, and the electrical signal generated by the transducer 4 can determine that the non-ferromagnetic conductor is qualified. The magnetic field generated by the planar coil 3, which is perpendicular to the first end face, can provide a more accurate and stable Lorentz force F acting on the non-ferromagnetic conductor, making it easier to judge abnormal signals.

[0067] Optionally, the coil 3 can be made of aluminum, copper, copper-aluminum alloy or gold, which has good conductivity and better stability, and is more suitable for the production of micro and nano devices. The coil 3 can be formed by electroplating, evaporation deposition or sputtering process, which can improve the structural stability of the coil 3 and the stability of the connection between the coil 3 and the first plate 2, and avoid the problems of difficult assembly and poor structural stability between the coil 3 and the first plate 2.

[0068] Optionally, the thickness D of coil 3 satisfies 0 < D ≤ 300 μm. For example, the thickness of coil 3 can be 10 μm, 26 μm, 77 μm, 132 μm, 150 μm, 230 μm, 268 μm or 300 μm. In practical applications, the thickness of coil 3 can be determined according to parameters such as the material of coil 3, the magnitude of the current, the shape and cross-sectional dimensions of coil 3, to ensure that it meets the performance requirements while avoiding material waste caused by excessive thickness of coil 3.

[0069] Furthermore, the non-ferromagnetic conductor motion speed and defect detection device 100 of this embodiment of the invention also includes a first electrode 31 and a second electrode 33, which are electrically connected to the coil 3; the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 33 are disposed on the housing 1, and the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 33 are used to be electrically connected to the coil 3, one of the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 33 is used for current to flow into the coil and the other is used for current to flow out of the coil, so as to realize the energization of the coil 3.

[0070] The coil 3 is connected to the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 33 through a connecting metal layer 32. The connecting metal layer 32 can be attached to the housing 1. Since the coil 3 will move relative to the housing 1, a certain section of the connecting metal layer 32 can have a certain degree of flexibility, and can be bent to a certain extent according to the position of the coil 3, so as to ensure effective connection between the first electrode 31 and the coil 3.

[0071] Furthermore, coil 3 includes multiple parallel straight conductor segments, which are connected end-to-end to form a serpentine planar coil 3, such as... Figure 3 As shown.

[0072] Alternatively, coil 3 may be mesh-like, for example, coil 3 may be a mesh structure formed by multiple longitudinally arranged conductor segments and multiple transversely arranged conductor segments, or coil 3 may be rose-shaped.

[0073] In this embodiment of the invention, the current flowing through coil 3 is 0 to 100 mA. When the current flowing through coil 3 is 0, it is in a shutdown state. In the working state, the current in coil 3 is determined according to the actual magnetic field strength requirements, thereby facilitating the acquisition of the displacement signal and the converted electrical signal of coil 3.

[0074] For example, during operation, the current flowing through coil 3 is 8mA, 18mA, 27mA, 44mA, 50mA, 76mA, 81mA, 98mA, or 100mA.

[0075] When the current flowing through coil 3 is too large, higher requirements are placed on the performance of coil 3, which will increase the cost and manufacturing difficulty. In this embodiment of the invention, the detection requirements can be met when the current is 100mA or less.

[0076] In some embodiments, the elastic element 5 is a support beam with an elastic segment. One end of the support beam is connected to the housing 1, and the other end is connected to the first plate 2. That is, the first plate 2 is connected to the housing 1 through the support beam, and the first plate 2 is suspended relative to the housing 1. This reduces the frictional resistance when the first plate 2 moves. When the coil 3 is subjected to a force Fr that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the Lorentz force F, it can respond more flexibly, the displacement signal is easier to capture, and the displacement signal can more sensitively reflect the defects of non-ferromagnetic conductors.

[0077] Optionally, the first plate 2 and the housing 1 are spaced apart, and there are multiple support beams. The first plate 2 is connected to the housing 1 through multiple support beams. For example, the first plate 2 is rectangular, and there are four support beams. The four support beams are respectively located at the four corners of the first plate 2, and the deformation direction of the elastic segment of the support beam is the same as the first direction. That is, when the coil 3 is subjected to the force Fr, the first plate 2 can move in the first direction (the left and right direction shown in the figure).

[0078] Furthermore, the elastic segment is Z-shaped or arc-shaped. The segment is elastic by the Z-shaped folding segment or the arc-shaped bending segment, and the first plate 2 can be displaced relative to the shell 1 after being subjected to force.

[0079] The elastic section and the support beam are integrally formed, meaning that the support beam and the elastic section are formed simultaneously during processing and manufacturing, and are an integrated structure, which improves the stability of the structure.

[0080] Alternatively, the elastic segment in this embodiment of the invention is a spring.

[0081] In some embodiments, the support beam and the first plate 2 are made of silicon.

[0082] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in some embodiments, the transducer 4 includes a fixed electrode plate 41, a movable electrode plate 42, and a detection module. The fixed electrode plate 41 is connected to the housing 1; the movable electrode plate 42 is connected to the first plate 2, and the movable electrode plate 42 moves synchronously with the first plate 2. The fixed electrode plate 41 and the movable electrode plate 42 are arranged opposite to each other and form a capacitor; the detection module is used to acquire the electrical signal between the fixed electrode plate 41 and the movable electrode plate 42.

[0083] It should be understood that the fixed electrode plate 41 is fixedly connected to the housing 1 and does not move relative to the housing 1. The movable electrode plate 42 is connected to the first plate 2. When the coil 3 is subjected to a force, the coil 3, the first plate 2 and the movable electrode plate 42 can move synchronously, thereby changing the displacement between the fixed electrode plate 41 and the movable electrode plate 42. A capacitor is formed between the fixed electrode plate 41 and the movable electrode plate 42. When the displacement between the fixed electrode plate 41 and the movable electrode plate 42 changes, the detection module can obtain the capacitance change signal.

[0084] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, by detecting changes in the capacitance signal, the displacement change of the first plate after the force on the coil 3 changes, is obtained, and the presence of defects in the non-ferromagnetic conductor is determined.

[0085] like Figure 4 As shown, the detection module is the detection circuit 45. The non-ferromagnetic conductor motion speed and defect detection device 100 of this embodiment of the invention also includes a third electrode 43 and a ground electrode 44. The third electrode 43 is a DC electrode and is connected to the transducer 4. The detection module is connected to the third electrode 43 and the ground electrode 44.

[0086] In some embodiments, the fixed electrode plate 41 has a plurality of parallel first conductor plates, and the movable electrode plate 42 has a plurality of parallel second conductor plates. The first conductor plates and the second conductor plates are arranged in parallel and staggered to form multiple sets of capacitors. It should be understood that the plurality of first conductor plates are comb-shaped, the plurality of second conductor plates are comb-shaped, and the plurality of first conductor plates and the plurality of second conductor plates are one-to-one corresponding and staggered to form comb-shaped capacitors. This can more effectively, more accurately, and more sensitively reflect the displacement signal of the first plate 2, realize precise detection, and also facilitate the packaging of the non-ferromagnetic conductor motion speed and defect detection device 100, realize the integration of magnetic source and micromechanical structure, and form micro-nano device.

[0087] In this embodiment of the invention, the fixed electrode plate 41 and the movable electrode plate 42 are made of silicon, and the housing 1 is a silicon-based housing 1 or a III-V semiconductor housing 1, which can ensure the stability and performance of each component.

[0088] In some embodiments, the non-ferromagnetic conductor motion speed and defect detection device 100 is a micro-nano device.

[0089] Furthermore, the conductivity of the non-ferromagnetic conductor is ≥1×10⁻⁶. 5 S / m, under the influence of induced eddy currents and excitation magnetic fields, a Lorentz force F is formed inside the non-ferromagnetic conductor, which is opposite to the direction of the conductor's motion. The high conductivity ensures that F is large enough, and enables the first plate 2 to be effectively displaced, thereby enabling detection.

[0090] Many components in this invention are made of silicon, which has good mechanical support properties and can also effectively dissipate heat. Silicon has excellent thermal conductivity and can be used to prepare high-efficiency heat dissipation materials, thereby improving the stability and reliability of electronic devices.

[0091] This invention integrates a magnetic source with a micromechanical structure by energizing coil 3 to generate a magnetic field. Compared with Lorentz force sensors that use permanent magnets, it has a simpler structure, is no longer affected by the collapse of the device layer caused by the weight of the permanent magnet itself, and has the advantages of smaller size, easy packaging, and mass production. It can be widely used in the field of non-destructive testing of non-ferromagnetic materials.

[0092] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the following steps are included in use:

[0093] S101. The non-ferromagnetic conductor to be tested moves along the first direction and passes through the magnetic field formed by coil 3. The direction of movement of the non-ferromagnetic conductor can be moved along the left and right directions shown in the figure, from left to right.

[0094] S102, Obtain the capacitance data in the transducer 4, such as Figure 5 As shown. When a non-ferromagnetic conductor has no defects, the capacitance data only includes the baseline value. When a non-ferromagnetic conductor has defects, the capacitance data includes both the baseline value and the abrupt change value.

[0095] S103. Based on capacitance data, obtain the speed of movement of the non-ferromagnetic conductor. Specifically, the speed of passage of the non-ferromagnetic conductor can be obtained based on the reference value actually output in the capacitance data, thereby determining the speed of movement of the production line.

[0096] S104. Determine if there are abrupt changes in the capacitance data. Detecting abrupt changes in the capacitance data can help determine if the non-ferromagnetic conductor has a defect.

[0097] S105. If yes, then the non-ferromagnetic conductor has a defect. If no, then the non-ferromagnetic conductor is qualified.

[0098] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the waveform of a single cycle of the nonferromagnetic conductor's motion speed and defect detection device (100 micro-nano device) detecting the presence or absence of defects in the nonferromagnetic conductor is shown in the figure below. Figure 5As shown, region I is the defective part, and region II is the defect-free part.

[0099] In the automated production process, the non-ferromagnetic conductor movement speed and defect detection device 100 is installed on the production line. After the non-ferromagnetic conductor is processed, it moves along the production line and passes through the magnetic field generated by the non-ferromagnetic conductor movement speed and defect detection device 100. When the non-ferromagnetic conductor passes through the magnetic field, the capacitance change data can be obtained through the transducer 4. Based on the relevant data, the movement speed of the non-ferromagnetic conductor and whether there are defects can be determined, thereby controlling the quality of the product and facilitating the control of the production efficiency of the production line to ensure product consistency.
