Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of bolt loosening detection, and in particular to a bolt loosening detection method, system and device based on passive flow-induced random guided waves. Background Art

[0002] Bolt connections are widely used in various industrial fields. Due to mechanical stress and corrosion in the use environment, bolted connection structures often become loose. Loose bolts can cause parts that should be tightly connected to come apart, posing serious safety hazards to the entire mechanical structure and even leading to safety accidents. In order to ensure the smooth operation of the mechanical structure, it is very important to monitor the tightness of the bolts in real time and locate the loose bolts in time.

[0003] Manual detection is still the most commonly used method for detecting bolt looseness. This method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, relies on the experience of the inspector, and is difficult to apply to online detection. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a structural health monitoring method to replace manual labor and realize online detection of the tightness of bolt structures. Summary of the invention

The pixel values ​​required for imaging are calculated using the extracted bolt tightness features, so as to realize online detection of the tightness of a multi-bolt structure.

Assume that each node r and a set of sensor pairs located at r1′ and r2′ respectively constitute a theoretical propagation path r1′→r→r2′. When the filtering frequency is f, calculate the theoretical length of each waveguide path. The calculation formula for the theoretical length of the waveguide path corresponding to the node r is as follows:

[0079] S3, constructing bolt tightness imaging equation: using the cross-correlation signals at different filtering frequencies obtained in step S2 to identify the waveguide path and construct the bolt tightness imaging equation, specifically including the following sub-steps:

[0080] S31. Divide the entire detection area into discrete grids. Each node of the grid is defined as a scattering point for waveguide propagation across the board. Assume that each node r and a set of sensor pairs located at r1′ and r2′ respectively constitute a theoretical propagation path r1′→r→r2′. When the filtering frequency is f, calculate the theoretical length of each waveguide path. The calculation formula for the theoretical length of the waveguide path corresponding to the node r is as follows:

[0081] d(r)=||r1′-r||+||r-r2′||

[0082] Wherein, r is a node, r1′ represents the position of the sensor on the first flat plate structure, and r2′ represents the position of the sensor on the second flat plate structure.

[0098] A third aspect of the present invention provides a bolt loosening detection device based on a bolt loosening detection method using passive flow-induced random guided waves, such as Figure 4 As shown, it includes a digital sampling device 101, a piezoelectric ceramic sensor 102, an air compressor and an air gun, and the detection device is used to provide passive random waveguide and collect signals. The digital sampling device 101 is connected to the piezoelectric ceramic sensor 102, and the air gun is connected to the air compressor. The air compressor and the air gun are used to excite and simulate passive random waveguide under real working conditions on the plane structure 103, and the two plane structures 103 are connected by bolts 104. Specific embodiments

[0100] The following is a further description of a bolt loosening detection method based on passive flow-induced random guided waves proposed by the present invention in conjunction with an embodiment:

[0101] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, two 6061 aluminum plates connected by two M8 bolts are used, the elastic modulus E of the aluminum plate is 71 GPa, the Poisson's ratio v is 0.33, and the density ρ is 2750 kg / m 3 The specification of a single aluminum plate is 400mm×400mm×1mm, and the distance between the two bolts is 100mm. The experiment uses an air compressor and a spray gun to generate compressed gas and excite flow-induced vibration noise on the aluminum plate. The gas flow rate is about 30m / s. A total of eight piezoelectric ceramic sensors are arranged on the two aluminum plates to receive random waveguide signals. The experimental device and the passive random waveguide excitation device are shown in Figure 1. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The specific parameters of the experimental specimen, sensor arrangement, and air blowing excitation position are shown in Figure 5 During the experiment, a torque wrench was used to change the bolt tightness conditions to (i) T1 = 0 N·m, T2 = 0 N·m; (ii) T1 = 16 N·m, T2 = 0 N·m; (iii) T1 = 0 N·m, T2 = 16 N·m; (iv) T1 = 16 N·m, T2 = 16 N·m, for a total of four experimental conditions. After each adjustment of the experimental conditions, air blowing excitation was performed on the left side of the sample.

[0102] First, the flight time of the guided wave paths through different bolts was verified. Figure 6a is the cross-correlation image of sensors 2 and 5 under experimental condition (ii), Figure 6b is the cross-correlation image of sensors 3 and 8 under experimental condition (iii), Figure 6a and Figure 6b The mid-band filter frequencies are 20kHz, 40kHz, 60kHz, and 80kHz, respectively. The red cross indicates the theoretical flight time corresponding to the waveguide path through the first bolt, and the red circle indicates the theoretical flight time corresponding to the waveguide path through the second bolt. When the bolt is tightened, a wave packet will appear at the theoretical flight time of the bolt on the cross-correlation image. Conversely, when the bolt is loose, there is no wave packet or the wave packet is very small at the theoretical position of the cross-correlation image, which is consistent with the theoretical prediction results, ensuring that the tightness of the bolt can be clearly distinguished from the imaging results.

[0103] Then, the 400 mm × 400 mm area containing the two bolts to be detected is discretized, and then the bolt tightness imaging of this area is performed using the imaging equation in step S3, and four pairs of sensors are used for imaging. Figure 5 The sensor pairs are 1&6, 2&5, 3&7, 4&8, and 10 bandpass filter center frequencies of 10kHz, 20kHz, ..., 100kHz are used. Figure 5 The midpoint of the two bolts is set as the coordinate origin, and the imaging results of the four tightness conditions are as follows: Figure 7a-7d As shown, the red solid hexagon represents the actual position of the fully tightened bolt, and the black hollow hexagon represents the actual position of the fully loosened bolt. From the imaging results of Figure 7, it can be seen that when the bolt is fully tightened, the corresponding area will be highlighted in the imaging image; conversely, when the bolt is completely loose, the corresponding area will not be highlighted around it, or the imaging intensity will be much smaller than when the bolt is fully tightened.

[0104] In this embodiment, by performing two-dimensional imaging analysis on the tightness of a double-bolt connection structure, it is proved that the proposed passive detection method can simultaneously identify the tightness of multiple bolts. In addition, in specific practical applications, the size of the imaging function increases with the number of tightened bolts. This is because the greater the torque on the bolt, the higher the guided wave energy transmitted through it, and the amplitude of the imaging equation is related to the guided wave energy transmitted through the bolt, which can also help determine the tightness of the bolt joint.

[0105] The embodiments described above are only descriptions of the preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should all fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
