[0049] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solution of the present invention, rather than limitations on the technical solution of the present invention. The embodiments of the present invention and the technical features in the embodiments may be combined with each other unless there is a conflict.

[0050] Before introducing a pipeline detection method based on an ultrasonic phased array provided in an embodiment of the present invention, some concepts involved in the embodiment of the present invention are first introduced:

[0051] Ultrasonic phased array technology is a multi-beam scanning imaging technology developed on the basis of traditional ultrasonic technology. It uses a precise array probe containing a specific number of array element chips, and cooperates with comprehensive phased array detection imaging software to control the high-frequency sound beam to follow the basic propagation law of ultrasonic waves to propagate in the material. After the defect is detected, a defect scanning image can be formed on the screen in real time and intuitively. Ultrasonic phased array technology generates and receives ultrasonic beams through multiple small piezoelectric chips (the number is 16, 32, 64 or 128) installed in the shell of the phased array probe. The cooperation between the electronic control unit and the ultrasonic phased array control software realizes the piezoelectric The pulse phase changes during the chip array excitation process. The piezoelectric chips generate their own ultrasonic fields under different excitation pulse phases and interfere with each other in the propagation medium, thereby forming a synthetic sound beam with different deflection angles, focal positions and focusing depths to control the shape of the ultrasonic radiation wave field. In the process of transmitting sound waves to encountering defects, the data acquisition module transmits a trigger signal to the phased array unit. Based on the transmission focusing law, the phased array unit converts the trigger signal into a high-voltage pulse signal with a specific pulse width and time delay. After each array element in the phased array probe receives a specific pulse, it will form a specific deflection angle and focus. The sound waves overlap and interfere with each other to form a composite sound beam, which continues to propagate forward until it encounters a defect. In the process from encountering the defect to receiving the sound wave, the composite sound beam hits the defect and is reflected by the phased array element. Based on the receiving focusing law, the reflected defect echoes are combined to form an ultrasonic pulse according to the time offset. The ultrasonic pulse is transmitted to the data acquisition module to obtain the defect detection information, and the defect information is processed to determine the defect characteristics. The ultrasonic pulse is imaged through the ultrasonic phased array detection view to display the detection images of different sections, which is convenient for locating and quantitatively analyzing the defects at the inspected position. This completes the entire process of ultrasonic phased array testing. Ultrasonic phased array testing technology has two major characteristics: controllable beam angle and dynamic focusing. Compared with traditional ultrasonic testing technology, it has obvious advantages: (1) The ultrasonic phased array probe is composed of an array of multiple independent piezoelectric chips and is controlled by an electronic system, with high detection efficiency; (2) The phase of each beam is controllable, and the focus and beam direction can be dynamically controlled by software to achieve multi-angle, multi-level, and multi-directional scanning of the area of ​​interest. It has good adaptability to working conditions and can scan various areas of thick workpieces and complex-shaped workpieces without moving the probe or moving the probe as little as possible. In addition, the detection system is more flexible;(3) The length of the focal column, the focal size, and the direction of the sound beam can be optimized and controlled, thereby improving the defect resolution, signal-to-noise ratio, and defect detection rate. Therefore, the acquisition of defect information in pipelines through ultrasonic phased array technology has the following advantages: (1) High resolution and adjustability. Ultrasonic phased array technology transmits and receives ultrasonic beams through the independent control of multiple array elements. It can flexibly adjust the angle and focus of the beam according to the needs of defect acquisition in the pipeline, thereby improving the positioning accuracy and resolution of the defects; (2) Compared with traditional ultrasonic detection, ultrasonic phased array can obtain ultrasonic reflection signals at multiple angles through a single scan, thereby reducing the need for repeated scanning, making full coverage detection of pipelines more efficient, especially suitable for defect detection in complex pipeline structures or pipeline bends; (3) Fast data acquisition. Ultrasonic phased array technology can obtain information on multiple data points in a single scan by controlling multiple array elements at the same time. The parallel acquisition method greatly speeds up the detection speed, shortens the time for collecting defect information in the pipeline, and improves the efficiency of defect detection; (4) Visualization and imaging. Ultrasonic phased array technology can generate real-time 2D, 3D images provide clear visualization results, helping operators to more intuitively analyze and evaluate the size, shape and location of defects. Real-time visualization has important application value for quantitative analysis of complex defects in pipelines. (5) Strong penetration ability and wide adaptability. Ultrasonic waves have good penetration ability in metal materials and can detect different types of defects such as corrosion, cracks, and wear inside pipelines. At the same time, ultrasonic phased array technology can adapt to pipelines of different thicknesses and material types by adjusting the frequency and emission angle of ultrasonic waves, and has strong adaptability. (6) Higher signal-to-noise ratio. Since the ultrasonic phased array system can control the focus of the beam, it can improve the control of the signal and the recognition of the defect echo. Compared with traditional ultrasonic testing, it can obtain a higher signal-to-noise ratio and reduce the interference of background noise, thereby more accurately identifying the defect characteristics in the pipeline. (7) Suitable for complex defect detection. The defects inside the pipeline have various forms such as corrosion, cracks, and pores. Ultrasonic phased array technology can flexibly respond to different defect forms through beam control, especially in areas that are difficult to cover by traditional methods such as pipeline welds or bends.

[0052] The ultrasonic phased array detection view mainly includes A scan, B scan, C scan and S scan, where the collected original signal is recorded in the form of A scan, and the incident wave, defect wave and bottom wave of each scanning point are displayed in the form of amplitude time curve. The ultrasonic phased array C scan image is a plane top view image of the scanning area, which can provide the shape and size information of the defect. It is divided into two display modes: amplitude image and depth image. Only the defect echo characteristics of the A scan signal are used for imaging. The C scan calculates the defect wave amplitude of the A scan signal in the scanning area and displays the amplitude by color coding. The depth image calculates the depth information of the defect by using the signal transit time, and color codes the depth. It is obtained by combining all the scanning points in the scanning area. The B scan and S scan are both pipeline cross-sectional views, and the ordinates are both ultrasonic sound path. They are obtained by color coding the amplitude of all sampling points in the sound path, which can provide the defect cross-sectional shape and depth information. The B scan image is a cross-sectional view in the scanning direction, and the S scan image is a cross-sectional view in the stepping direction. The S scan view is a detection view unique to the ultrasonic phased array technology.

[0053] Volume defects are usually divided into plane defects and volume defects according to their geometric shapes and characteristics in the internal space of the pipeline. Volume defects refer to defects with a certain length, width, and depth, such as corrosion pits and holes. Ultrasonic phased array technology has a good detection effect on volume defects.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a pipeline detection method based on ultrasonic phased array, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0055] S1: Collect defect characteristic information and defect distribution information of volume defects in pipelines;

[0056] The defect characteristic information and the defect distribution information of the volumetric defects in the pipeline are collected by ultrasonic phased array technology.

[0057] S2: performing defect feature analysis based on the defect feature information to determine a defect influence coefficient;

[0058] The length, width and depth of internal defects in pipelines directly affect the bearing capacity and overall structural safety of pipelines. Longer or wider defects may lead to stress concentration in a larger range and increase the risk of local damage. The depth of the defect is related to the effective thickness of the pipeline wall. Deeper defects can significantly reduce the ability of the pipeline to resist external pressure and corrosion, thereby increasing the possibility of leakage or rupture. The defect influence coefficient quantifies the impact of specific defects on the safety of pipeline structures by comprehensively considering the defect characteristic information and combining the pipeline wall thickness information, and determines the defect influence coefficient, including:

[0059] Acquire the defect characteristic information and pipeline wall thickness information, wherein the defect characteristic information includes defect maximum length information, defect maximum width information and defect maximum depth information;

[0060] Substitute the defect feature information and the pipe wall thickness information into the defect influence coefficient calculation formula to calculate the defect influence coefficient. The defect influence coefficient calculation formula is as follows:

[0061]

[0062] Where H(i) represents the maximum depth of the i-th defect in the pipeline, δ(i) represents the defect location influencing factor, D represents the pipeline wall thickness information, L(i) represents the maximum length of the i-th defect in the pipeline, W(i) represents the maximum width of the i-th defect in the pipeline, N represents the number of defects in the pipeline, e represents a natural constant, ln[·] represents taking the natural logarithm, η represents the adjustment factor, and K DI represents the defect influence coefficient;

[0063] The distance of the defect relative to the inner and outer walls of the pipeline will affect the pressure bearing capacity and corrosion rate of the pipeline. In terms of pressure bearing capacity, defects close to the inner wall can directly affect the pipeline's ability to withstand internal pressure and increase the risk of rupture, while defects close to the outer wall affect the pipeline's ability to resist external loads. At the same time, defects close to the inner and outer walls will cause stress concentration, thereby reducing the fatigue life of the pipeline and increasing the risk of pipeline rupture or failure. In terms of corrosion rate, inner wall defects are more likely to accumulate corrosive substances in the fluid, thereby accelerating corrosion, while outer wall defects are more susceptible to the environmental factors of the pipeline. The calculation formula for the defect position influencing factor is as follows:

[0064]

[0065] Where d in (i) represents the distance between the i-th defect in the pipeline and the inner wall of the pipeline, d out (i) represents the distance between the i-th defect in the pipeline and the outer wall of the pipeline, D represents the pipeline wall thickness information, min[d in (i),d out (i)] means taking d in (i) and d out (i), δ(i) represents the defect location influence factor.

[0066] S3: Determine a defect aggregation coefficient of the pipeline based on the defect distribution information;

[0067] The defect aggregation coefficient is a quantitative indicator used to evaluate the distribution of defects on the cross section of the pipe wall. It reflects the concentration of defects on the pipeline by analyzing the defect aggregation of different levels of the pipe wall cross section. A higher defect aggregation coefficient usually means that there are more defects in a specific area, resulting in more serious stress concentration and damage risks, which in turn affects the overall safety and reliability of the pipeline. Determine the defect aggregation coefficient of the pipeline, including:

[0068] Acquiring the defect distribution information, wherein the defect distribution information includes defect quantity information and defect location information of a pipe wall cross section;

[0069] Substituting the defect distribution information into a defect concentration calculation formula to calculate the defect concentration of the pipe wall cross section;

[0070] Substitute the defect aggregation degree into the defect aggregation coefficient calculation formula to calculate the defect aggregation coefficient. The defect aggregation coefficient calculation formula is as follows:

[0071]

[0072] Where C k represents the defect concentration of the kth layer of the pipe wall cross section, M represents the number of layers of the pipe wall cross section, K DA It represents the defect aggregation coefficient of the pipeline;

[0073] The defect concentration calculation formula is as follows:

[0074]

[0075] Where d k (i,j) represents the distance between the i-th defect and the j-th defect in the cross section of the k-th layer of the tube wall, N k represents the number of defects in the cross section of the k-th layer of pipe wall, C k Represents the defect concentration of the cross section of the kth layer of pipe wall.

[0076] S4: determining a pipeline defect index by using the defect influence coefficient and the defect aggregation coefficient, and issuing a pipeline defect warning when the pipeline defect index is greater than a preset defect threshold;

[0077] The defect impact coefficient reflects the potential threat of different defects to the safety of pipeline structures, while the defect aggregation coefficient describes the concentration of defects in a specific area. When the defect impact coefficient is high, even if the number of defects is small, it may still have a greater impact on the pipeline, while a high defect aggregation coefficient means that there are multiple defects in a specific location, which may lead to a significant decrease in local bearing capacity. Therefore, by combining the defect impact coefficient and the defect aggregation coefficient to calculate the pipeline defect index, the overall risk level of the pipeline can be more comprehensively evaluated and the pipeline defect index can be determined, including:

[0078] Obtaining the defect influence coefficient and the defect aggregation coefficient;

[0079] The pipeline defect index is calculated by the defect influence coefficient and the defect aggregation coefficient. The calculation formula of the pipeline defect index is as follows:

[0080] K=ω1×K DI +ω2×K DA ;

[0081] Where K DI Defect influence coefficient, K DA represents the defect aggregation coefficient, ω1 represents the defect impact weight, ω2 represents the defect aggregation weight, and K represents the pipeline defect index.

[0099] Substitute the defect aggregation degree into the defect aggregation coefficient calculation formula to calculate the defect aggregation coefficient. The defect aggregation coefficient calculation formula is as follows:

[0105] In an embodiment of the present invention, the pipeline defect index calculation module 240 is used to determine the pipeline defect index by using the defect influence coefficient and the defect aggregation coefficient. When the pipeline defect index is greater than a preset defect threshold, a pipeline defect warning is issued. The pipeline defect index is determined, including:

[0107] The pipeline defect index is calculated by the defect influence coefficient and the defect aggregation coefficient. The calculation formula of the pipeline defect index is as follows:

[0108] K=ω1×K DI +ω2×K DA ;
