Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of acoustic non-destructive testing, and in particular to an electromagnetic acoustic-laser non-contact acoustic non-destructive testing system and method. Background Art

[0002] Acoustic nondestructive testing technology has a wide range of applications and has the advantages of wide detection range, large detection depth, fast detection speed, strong penetration ability and accurate defect positioning. At present, although the traditional piezoelectric ultrasonic technology is mature, it is limited by factors such as coupling agent and heat resistance of piezoelectric chips. Its scope of application is limited by temperature. Generally, it can only obtain good detection results below 150°C, and in automatic scanning and inspection, it is often necessary to additionally equip a coupling liquid spraying device, which not only limits its application scenarios, but also makes the system more complicated. Electromagnetic acoustic detection technology and laser ultrasonic technology, as typical non-contact acoustic detection technologies, have been widely used in scientific research and industrial detection. However, pure electromagnetic acoustic or laser ultrasonic excitation and receiving systems still have many disadvantages when performing non-contact detection.

[0003] Due to the low transducer efficiency of electromagnetic acoustic detection technology, the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal obtained by simple electromagnetic ultrasonic transmission and reception is low during non-contact lift-off detection, and the coil of the electromagnetic acoustic sensor usually needs to be closely attached to the surface of the object to be inspected in order to receive a good signal, resulting in a limited lift-off distance of the electromagnetic acoustic receiving sensor. Since the signal received by electromagnetic ultrasound is the current signal induced in the receiving coil by the surface vibration, the acquired amount is indirect, and it is impossible to directly obtain intrinsic information such as vibration displacement, velocity, acceleration, etc. The amount of information obtained is limited by the form of the coil, making it difficult to use for multi-modal detection, and it is impossible to truly realize non-contact acoustic non-destructive testing.

[0004] Laser ultrasound generates sound waves through the thermoelastic mechanism of power lasers, and measures the micro-vibration of sound waves through laser interferometry. During the excitation process, the energy of the pulsed laser is emitted to the surface of the object being inspected, and most of the energy is absorbed by the surface of the object being inspected. Long-term laser ultrasonic testing is likely to cause ablation damage to the surface of the object being inspected. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0047] In order to make the purpose, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment proposes an electromagnetic acoustic-laser non-contact acoustic non-destructive testing system, which includes an electromagnetic acoustic-laser non-contact acoustic sensor 1, a pulse emission module 2, a laser vibration measurement module 3 and a host computer main control module 4.

[0049] Among them, the output end of the host computer main control module 4 is connected to the input end of the pulse emission module 2, the output end of the pulse emission module 2 is connected to the input end of the electromagnetic sound-laser non-contact acoustic sensor 1, the output end of the electromagnetic sound-laser non-contact acoustic sensor 1 is connected to the input end of the laser vibration measurement module 3, and the output end of the laser vibration measurement module 3 is connected to the input end of the host computer main control module 4.

[0050] In this embodiment, the host computer main control module 4 is used to send instructions to the pulse emission module 2, and the instructions are instructions for controlling the pulse emission module 2 to emit pulse signals. The host computer main control module 4 is also used to set parameters of the output signal of the pulse emission module 2 and control the emission of pulse signals, as well as the emission of the laser of the laser vibration measurement module 3 and the display, collection and processing of the reflected light signal.

[0051] In this embodiment, the pulse transmitting module 2 is used to transmit a pulse signal to the electromagnetic acoustic-laser non-contact acoustic sensor 1 after receiving an instruction sent by the host computer main control module 4 .

[0052] In this embodiment, the electromagnetic acoustic-laser non-contact acoustic sensor 1 is arranged just above the surface of the object to be inspected, and does not contact the object to be inspected. After receiving the pulse signal emitted by the pulse emission module 2, the electromagnetic acoustic excitation module in the electromagnetic acoustic-laser non-contact acoustic sensor 1 emits an electromagnetic acoustic signal to the measuring point on the surface of the object to be inspected; then the laser vibration measurement receiving probe module in the electromagnetic acoustic-laser non-contact acoustic sensor 1 emits a laser signal to the measuring point on the surface of the object to be inspected and receives the reflected light signal at the measuring point on the surface of the object to be inspected, and sends the reflected light signal to the laser vibration measurement module 3. Among them, the electromagnetic acoustic excitation module is only responsible for excitation, and the laser vibration measurement receiving probe module is only responsible for receiving. Although the laser vibration measurement receiving probe module can emit a laser signal, the laser signal will not generate a laser ultrasonic signal, but is only for receiving the reflected light signal reflected from the surface of the object to be inspected. The electromagnetic acoustic signal is an excitation sound wave signal, which acts on the measuring point on the surface of the object to be inspected. It is combined with the laser vibration measurement receiving probe module to transmit the laser signal and receive the reflected light signal, so that the reflected light signal contains the detection information under the excitation of the electromagnetic acoustic signal, which helps to obtain more accurate and reliable vibration displacement, velocity, acceleration and other information.

[0053] In this embodiment, the laser vibration measurement module 3 is used to demodulate the reflected light signal. When demodulating the reflected light signal, the emitted laser signal is combined and the interference method is adopted to demodulate the vibration displacement, velocity, acceleration and other information at the measuring point on the surface of the object under inspection. The vibration displacement, velocity, acceleration and other information are sent to the host computer main control module 4, which displays and performs subsequent processing.

[0054] In this embodiment, the vibration displacement, velocity, acceleration and other information of the measuring point can be used as the detection result, and the sound field signals in different directions of the measuring point can be further analyzed, and the source of each wave packet in the displacement signal can be determined according to the propagation path of the sound wave in the object under test, and the thickness of the object under test and the location and size of the internal defects can be calculated through the moment of boundary reflection wave packets and defect wave packets, and the thickness of the object under test and the location and size of the internal defects can also be further used as the detection result. Among them, the wave packet refers to a localized wave formed by the superposition of several harmonics.

[0055] In this embodiment, the electromagnetic acoustic-laser non-contact acoustic sensor 1 includes an electromagnetic acoustic excitation module, a laser vibration receiving probe module and a housing 14. Among them, the input end of the electromagnetic acoustic excitation module is connected to the output end of the pulse transmitting module 2. The pulse signal output by the pulse transmitting module 2 is transmitted to the electromagnetic acoustic excitation module, and the frequency and amplitude of the output pulse signal meet the requirements of the electromagnetic acoustic excitation module to excite sound waves in the metal material. After receiving the pulse signal emitted by the pulse transmitting module 2, the electromagnetic acoustic excitation module emits an electromagnetic acoustic signal to the measuring point on the surface of the object to be inspected. The output end of the laser vibration receiving probe module is connected to the input end of the laser vibration measuring module 3. The laser vibration receiving probe module is used to emit a laser signal to the measuring point on the surface of the object to be inspected after receiving the pulse signal emitted by the pulse transmitting module 2, and receive the reflected light signal generated at the measuring point on the surface of the object to be inspected under the laser signal, and send the reflected light signal to the laser vibration measuring module 3. The laser vibration measurement module 3 is used to cooperate with the laser vibration measurement receiving probe module to transmit laser signals, and obtain the particle vibration signal at the measuring point on the surface of the object under test by demodulating and analyzing the intensity change and phase change of the reflected light signal, thereby obtaining information such as vibration displacement, velocity and acceleration. The housing 14 is used to fix the magnet, coil, laser vibration measurement receiving probe 13, wires and optical cables, etc.

[0056] This embodiment combines the electromagnetic acoustic detection technology and the laser vibrometer technology to form an electromagnetic acoustic-laser non-contact acoustic sensor 1, which uses the electromagnetic acoustic method as a method for generating sound waves to avoid the damage to the material surface caused by the ablation mechanism during the laser ultrasonic excitation process, and uses the laser vibrometer method as a method for receiving sound waves to avoid the shortcomings of small lift-off, limited mode, and non-intrinsic vibration measurement in electromagnetic ultrasonic reception.

[0057] In this embodiment, the electromagnetic acoustic-laser non-contact acoustic sensor 1 may be an integrated sensor or a split sensor formed by an electromagnetic acoustic excitation module and a laser vibration measurement receiving probe module.

[0058] In this embodiment, the electromagnetic acoustic excitation module includes a magnet and a coil, and the magnet is arranged directly above the coil. The magnet and the coil are used to excite the electromagnetic acoustic signal and transmit the electromagnetic acoustic signal to the measuring point on the surface of the object to be inspected. Among them, the magnet can be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. When the electromagnetic acoustic-laser non-contact acoustic sensor 1 is an integrated sensor formed by the electromagnetic acoustic excitation module and the laser vibration receiving probe module, one or more holes are arranged on the magnet, and the holes are used to place the laser vibration receiving probe 13 in the laser vibration receiving probe module. The coil can be a hand-wound coil or a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) coil. According to the type of acoustic wave excited, the coil can be in the shape of a ring, a runway, a folded shape, a wiring shape or a butterfly shape.

[0059] In this embodiment, the magnet may be an annular cylindrical magnet 11, and the coil may be a spiral coil 12. The annular cylindrical magnet 11 is arranged directly above the spiral coil 12. The cooperation of the annular cylindrical magnet 11 and the spiral coil 12 can excite acoustic wave signals such as ultrasonic shear waves.

[0060] In this embodiment, the magnets may be two square magnets, and the coil may be a runway coil. The two square magnets are arranged side by side and are both located directly above the runway coil. The magnetic poles of the two square magnets are in opposite directions. The cooperation of the two square magnets and the runway coil can excite acoustic wave signals such as ultrasonic shear waves.

[0061] In this embodiment, the magnet can be two annular cylindrical magnets 11, and the coil can be a spiral coil 12. The two annular cylindrical magnets 11 are coaxially installed and are both arranged directly above the spiral coil 12. The magnetic poles of the two annular cylindrical magnets 11 are in opposite directions. Through the cooperation of the two annular cylindrical magnets 11 and the spiral coil 12, sound wave signals such as ultrasonic longitudinal waves can be excited.

[0062] In this embodiment, the laser vibrometer receiving probe module may include a laser vibrometer receiving probe 13. The laser vibrometer receiving probe 13 (i.e., the first laser vibrometer receiving probe 131) is perpendicular to the surface of the object to be inspected, and is used to transmit a laser signal to the surface of the object to be inspected along a direction perpendicular to the surface of the object to be inspected, and receive a reflected light signal reflected from the surface of the object to be inspected.

[0063] In this embodiment, the laser vibrometer receiving probe module may also include two laser vibrometer receiving probes 13. One of the laser vibrometer receiving probes 13 (i.e., the first laser vibrometer receiving probe 131) is perpendicular to the surface of the object to be inspected, and is used to transmit a laser signal to the surface of the object to be inspected along the vertical direction of the surface of the object to be inspected, and receive a reflected light signal in the vertical direction of the surface of the object to be inspected; the other laser vibrometer receiving probe 13 (i.e., the second laser vibrometer receiving probe 132 or the third laser vibrometer receiving probe 133) is provided with an angle with the surface of the object to be inspected, and is used to transmit a laser signal to the surface of the object to be inspected along the inclined direction of the surface of the object to be inspected, and receive a reflected light signal in the inclined direction of the surface of the object to be inspected.

[0064] In this embodiment, the laser vibrometer receiving probe module may further include three laser vibrometer receiving probes 13. One of the laser vibrometer receiving probes 13 (i.e., the first laser vibrometer receiving probe 131) is perpendicular to the surface of the object to be inspected, and is used to transmit a laser signal to the surface of the object to be inspected along a direction perpendicular to the surface of the object to be inspected, and receive a reflected light signal from the surface of the object to be inspected. The other two laser vibrometer receiving probes 13 (i.e., the second laser vibrometer receiving probe 132 and the third laser vibrometer receiving probe 133) are respectively provided with an angle with the surface of the object to be inspected, and are respectively used to transmit a laser signal to the surface of the object to be inspected along an inclined direction of the surface of the object to be inspected, and receive a reflected light signal from the surface of the object to be inspected, so as to realize three-dimensional vibration information collection.

[0065] In this embodiment, the host computer main control module 4 is built with pulse emission control software and laser vibration control software. Among them, the pulse emission control software is used to set the waveform, frequency, amplitude and other parameters of the pulse signal output by the pulse emission module 2. The laser vibration control software is used to control the laser vibration receiving probe module to emit laser signals and collect and demodulate reflected light signals, as well as display and post-process the reflected light signals and information results such as vibration displacement, velocity and acceleration.

[0066] In this embodiment, the electromagnetic acoustic-laser non-contact acoustic sensor 1 includes an electromagnetic acoustic excitation module and a laser vibrometer receiving probe module. The electromagnetic acoustic excitation module is used to excite electromagnetic acoustic signals, where the electromagnetic acoustic signals refer to sound wave signals. The electromagnetic acoustic excitation module mainly includes a magnet and a coil, and the cooperation of the magnet and the coil can excite sound waves of different modes, including ultrasonic body waves, ultrasonic guided waves, and surface waves. The laser vibrometer receiving probe module is used for transmitting laser signals and receiving reflected light signals, and may include one to three laser vibrometer receiving probes 13. When three laser vibrometer receiving probes 13 are provided, the three laser vibrometer receiving probes 13 include a first laser vibrometer receiving probe 131, a second laser vibrometer receiving probe 132, and a third laser vibrometer receiving probe 133.

[0067] In this embodiment, when the laser vibrometer receiving probe module includes only one laser vibrometer receiving probe 13, the laser vibrometer receiving probe 13 is perpendicular to the surface of the object to be inspected, and the received displacement signal is the out-of-plane displacement of the measuring point. When the laser vibrometer receiving probe module includes two or three laser vibrometer receiving probes 13, one of the laser vibrometer receiving probes 13 is perpendicular to the surface of the object to be inspected, and the received displacement signal is the out-of-plane displacement of the measuring point. The other laser vibrometer receiving probes 13 form a certain angle with the surface of the object to be inspected, and the received displacement signal is the displacement signal of the measuring point along the direction of the laser vibrometer receiving probe 13. The in-plane displacement of the measuring point can be demodulated by combining the tilt angle and the out-of-plane displacement.

[0068] For example, Figure 2 The one-dimensional vibration measurement type electromagnetic acoustic-laser non-contact acoustic sensor shown in the figure comprises an annular cylindrical magnet 11, a spiral coil 12 and a laser vibration measurement receiving probe 13. The electromagnetic acoustic excitation module comprises an annular cylindrical magnet 11 and a spiral coil 12, which are used to excite ultrasonic shear waves in the object under test. The laser vibration measurement receiving probe module comprises a laser vibration measurement receiving probe 13, which is installed at the center of the annular cylindrical magnet 11 and is used to emit laser signals and receive reflected light signals generated by the off-plane displacement of the measurement point.

[0069] For example, Figure 3 The three-dimensional vibration measurement type electromagnetic acoustic-laser non-contact acoustic sensor shown includes an annular cylindrical magnet 11, a spiral coil 12, and a first laser vibration measurement receiving probe 131, a second laser vibration measurement receiving probe 132, and a third laser vibration measurement receiving probe 133. Among them, two channels are provided on the annular cylindrical magnet 11, and the two channels are inclined channels. The inclined channels are provided to ensure that the laser vibration measurement receiving probe 13 can receive displacements in different directions. Since the electromagnetic acoustic-laser non-contact acoustic sensor 1 is generally perpendicular to the surface of the object to be inspected, if the laser vibration measurement receiving probe 13 is installed horizontally, the laser cannot be emitted to the surface of the object to be inspected, so that the laser vibration measurement receiving probe 13 cannot work.

[0070] In this embodiment, the laser vibration measurement receiving probe module includes three laser vibration measurement receiving probes 13, wherein the first laser vibration measurement receiving probe 131 is installed at the center position of the annular cylindrical magnet 11, and the second laser vibration measurement receiving probe 132 and the third laser vibration measurement receiving probe 133 are installed and fixed through the inclined channel of the annular cylindrical magnet 11, and are used to emit laser signals and receive reflected light signals generated by the displacement of the measuring point.

[0071] In this embodiment, the pulse transmitting module 2 is connected to the coil of the electromagnetic acoustic-laser non-contact acoustic sensor 1 , and is used to output a high-energy pulse electrical signal to the coil of the electromagnetic acoustic-laser non-contact acoustic sensor 1 .

[0072] In this embodiment, the laser vibrometer module 3 is provided with a corresponding number of laser vibrometer units according to the number of laser vibrometer receiving probes 13, which are respectively connected to the laser vibrometer receiving probes 13, and are used for the analysis of the emission of the laser and the reflected light signal of the laser vibrometer receiving probes 13. For example, when three laser vibrometer receiving probes 13 are provided, namely, a first laser vibrometer receiving probe 131, a second laser vibrometer receiving probe 132, and a third laser vibrometer receiving probe 133, three laser vibrometer units are also provided correspondingly, namely, a first laser vibrometer unit 31, a second laser vibrometer unit 32, and a third laser vibrometer unit 33.

[0092] The electromagnetic acoustic-laser non-contact acoustic non-destructive testing system of this embodiment includes an electromagnetic acoustic-laser non-contact acoustic sensor 1, a pulse emission module 2, a laser vibration measurement module 3 and a host computer main control module 4. Among them, the electromagnetic acoustic-laser non-contact acoustic sensor 1 includes an electromagnetic acoustic excitation module and a laser vibration measurement receiving probe module. In work, based on the electromagnetic acoustic transduction mechanism, sound waves (ultrasonic body waves, ultrasonic guided waves and surface waves, etc.) are excited in the metal material, and then the laser vibration measurement mechanism is used to receive the sound wave signal. In this embodiment, laser ultrasound is used to replace electromagnetic sound as a receiving means. Thanks to the high precision and high resolution of laser ultrasonic technology displacement detection, it can accurately measure the displacement, velocity, acceleration and other information of the particle vibrating in a single direction, and overcome the problems of low transduction efficiency, weak signal-to-noise ratio and non-original real vibration of the electromagnetic ultrasonic sensor as a receiver. At the same time, by using electromagnetic acoustic emission with lower energy efficiency to replace laser ultrasonic emission, the ablation effect of laser ultrasonic technology on the object under inspection is avoided when it is used as an excitation source. The electromagnetic acoustic excitation sensor has the characteristics of single mode and strong designability, which can effectively solve the problem of difficult laser ultrasonic mode control. The electromagnetic acoustic-laser non-contact acoustic non-destructive testing system has the outstanding advantages of allowing a large lift-off height, completely non-contact, no coupling agent, high detection signal-to-noise ratio, and good repeatability. It is very suitable for extreme temperature sound wave transmission and reception, automatic scanning imaging flaw detection, acoustic stress measurement and other scenarios.
