Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of surface defect detection, and more specifically, to a device for inspecting surface defects of a cable insulation layer. Background Art

[0002] Power cables are an important part of the power system and are responsible for the transmission and distribution of electric energy. Cable accessories are devices that connect and protect the cable body, and are mainly divided into two categories: cable terminals and cable intermediate joints. Cable terminals are installed at the end of the cable line and have certain insulation and sealing properties to connect the cable with other electrical equipment. Cable intermediate joints are installed between cables to connect two or more cable conductors to form a continuous circuit and have certain insulation and sealing properties. Statistics from the Southern Power Grid Company show that between 2006 and 2016, non-external force failures of my country's cable system were mainly concentrated in cable accessories, of which 84% were caused by insulation interface defects caused by improper installation and construction. Cable terminals and cable intermediate joints are the parts that connect cable accessories to the cable insulation layer in the cable line, and their installation quality issues have an important impact on the operating life of the cable system.

[0003] Due to its unique mesh structure, cross-linked polyethylene cable ages slowly in a uniform electric field. However, at the cable terminal, the electric field distribution suddenly changes due to the cutting of the outer shield, which will cause electric field concentration. The insulation layer at the outer shield break will accelerate deterioration under the action of an extremely non-uniform electric field. When making cable terminals, a stress cone is set on the section of the metal shielding layer and the semi-conductive shielding layer to improve the electric field distribution here, make the electric field as uniform as possible, and achieve the purpose of delaying insulation aging. The manufacturing process (knife wounds or bubbles) and mechanical external forces are the main causes of partial discharge in the insulation layer. If the cable carries a heavy load, the cable conductor heats up, which makes it easier to accelerate the aging of the cable insulation layer. In the process of making the cross-linked polyethylene cable intermediate joint, after the outer shielding layers of the cables on both sides are stripped, the sharp corners and burrs at the ends of the insulation layer need to be removed. The ends of the insulation layer cannot be cut into cones. Sandpaper should be used to polish the ends of the insulation layer smooth, and then sandpaper should be used to polish the outer shielding layers of the cables on both sides into a smooth transition slope. Therefore, during the grinding process of the insulating layer, attention should be paid to the grinding finish of the insulating layer and possible knife scratches, bubbles or impurities on the surface.

[0004] At present, the installation of cable accessories is mainly based on the requirements of DL / T342, DL / T343 and DL / T344, and the insulation shield on the surface of the cable body is stripped: first, use a cutting tool or glass sheet to remove the insulation shield; then, in the range of 240~1500 mesh, select appropriate sandpaper from small to large to polish the insulation surface in sequence. If necessary, in order to obtain a smoother insulation surface, it is necessary to use a hot air gun for treatment. The insulation surface roughness regulations: for 110kV cables, no more than 300m; for 220kV, no more than 100m. The insulation stripping method has many steps, the process is complicated, and the skill level of the installer is required to be high. In addition, due to the changeable cable construction environment conditions, once improperly handled, it will bury a great hidden danger for the subsequent operation of the cable. If there is a lack of effective image and video recording at the construction site, it will further make it difficult to trace the cause of the accident. Therefore, how to control the construction quality of the surface roughness of the insulation layer during the installation of cable accessories has always been one of the focuses of cable accessory installation research.

[0005] Regarding the detection of cable insulation surface roughness, since traditional roughness detection instruments have certain requirements for the measurement environment and the measurement object, they cannot be applied to the on-site installation of cable joints. The existing method mainly relies on the experience of the installer to judge whether the roughness of the cable insulation surface meets its installation conditions through hand feel and side light observation. There are almost no relevant literature records on the detection method of cable insulation surface roughness at home and abroad. On the one hand, it is because the cable surface roughness is not taken seriously enough, and on the other hand, the use of professional detection methods will increase time and economic costs. In actual installation, professional instruments are rarely used to measure the cable surface roughness. Therefore, it is impossible to qualitatively judge the installation reliability of the cable after the cable is installed.

[0006] There are not many related studies on the detection of cable insulation surface roughness in the world. At present, the main technical means used is still contact detection. The contact detection method has a limited area for a single detection. At the same time, since the probe is in contact with the surface of the insulation layer, it may cause secondary damage to the insulation layer. At present, China has not developed a non-contact cable insulation surface defect detection device with mature and complete technology and generally recognized by the market.

[0035] Furthermore, a hanging plate 42 is provided at the second end of the crossbar 4, the upper end of the hanging plate 42 is fixedly arranged at the rear side of the second end of the crossbar 4, the image acquisition device 5 is fixedly installed at the front side of the second end of the crossbar 4, and the laser generator 6 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the hanging plate 42, and the angle of the laser generator 6 on the hanging plate 42 is adjustable.

The image acquisition device 5 is connected to the defect recognition software system via WiFi, and the speckle image captured by the image acquisition device 5 is wirelessly transmitted to the remote defect recognition software system via WiFi transmission.

[0037] Furthermore, the defect recognition software system adopts a defect detection method of analyzing the RGB three-channel intensity curve of the image under broadband light illumination, and finally integrates and outputs the defect detection results.

[0038] Specifically, the defect detection method of image RGB three-channel intensity curve analysis under broadband illumination includes: The speckle image is subjected to denoising and initialization filtering. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, it is the speckle image of the cable insulation layer surface after filtering. Scan the speckle image pixels one by one in the row and column direction, and extract the intensity value curve of the RGB three channels of the pixel sequence at each row and column position. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The figures are respectively a schematic diagram of a row and column pixel scanning line and a schematic diagram of an intensity value curve of the RGB three channels of a single row and column pixel sequence.

[0039] The intensity value curve of the RGB three channels of each pixel sequence extracted is filtered to reduce the influence of surface contour and uneven lighting. Figure 5 , which is a schematic diagram of the intensity value curve of the RGB three channels of a pixel sequence after filtering.

[0040] Find and analyze the distribution of the intensity value curves of the RGB three channels of the pixel sequence at the same row and column position, identify and locate the pixel position of the singular point, and record it as the initial surface defect or impurity point. In general, when the surface of the cable insulation layer is polished and pollution-free, the RGB three-color intensity value curves at the same row and column position are in a normal parallel and stable fluctuation state without intersection. When there are special conditions such as polished surface defects, adsorbed impurities and color boundaries, the RGB three-color intensity curves at the same row and column position will have singular points such as intersections, gradient mutations and missing positions, such as Figure 5 The singular points shown in .

[0041] The distribution state of the intensity value curve of the RGB three channels of each pixel sequence in each row and column of the speckle image is traversed to identify and record the initial surface defect or impurity point position in the entire speckle image.

[0042] The coordinate set of all initial surface defects or impurity point positions constitutes a defect connected region, the area size of each defect connected region is calculated, and the position and area information of the defect connected region with an area greater than the threshold is output as the quantitative detection result. Specifically, according to the specified defect or attached impurity size standard and combined with the imaging magnification, a judgment threshold for the area of ​​the surface defects or impurity points of the identified image is given, and the defect connected regions with an area less than the threshold are removed, and the position and area information of the remaining defect connected regions are output as the quantitative detection result. See Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 The image diagram of the marked initial surface defects or impurity point positions and the defect connected areas formed. Figure 7This is a schematic diagram of an image of an area determined to be a final surface defect or impurity point through threshold filtering.

[0043] Finally, the characteristic value (the location and area information of the defect connected area whose area is greater than the threshold) is used to determine whether it is a defect that affects the operation of the cable.

[0044] In summary, the cable insulation layer surface defect inspection device provided by the present invention can analyze the speckle image formed by the laser generator irradiating the cable insulation layer surface through the defect recognition software system and output the defect detection result, thereby realizing non-contact detection of the cable insulation layer surface, thereby quickly and effectively identifying the cable insulation layer surface defects and improving the cable insulation layer surface defect detection efficiency.

[0045] The present invention adopts quantitative criteria to replace the existing mainstream experience construction. Different from the existing roughness detectors on the market, the defect inspection device also adopts a non-contact detection method to quickly and effectively identify the surface defects of the cable insulation layer, rather than obtaining the surface roughness of the cable insulation layer through contact detection. All detection pictures can be retained to ensure that the installation process of cable accessories can be traced.
