[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, an electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array high-energy excitation and full-area high-speed focusing imaging device is provided, and the electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array high-energy excitation and full-area high-speed focusing imaging device includes: a differential isolation high-voltage pulse transmitter, a first programmable switch S1, a second programmable switch S2, a third programmable switch S3, a fourth programmable switch S4, a multi-channel isolator, a phased array electromagnetic ultrasonic sensor, a plurality of preamplifiers and a data processing module.
[0038] The positive pole of the differential isolated high-voltage pulse transmitter is connected to the first programmable switch S1 and the second programmable switch S2, and the negative pole of the differential isolated high-voltage pulse transmitter is connected to the third programmable switch S3 and the fourth programmable switch S4; when the differential isolated high-voltage pulse transmitter transmits a pulse, if the fourth programmable switch S4 and the second programmable switch S2 are closed, the first programmable switch S1 and the third programmable switch S3 are disconnected, and the second programmable switch S2 transmits a positive pulse; if the fourth programmable switch S4 and the second programmable switch S2 are disconnected, the first programmable switch S1 and the third programmable switch S3 are closed, and the third programmable switch S3 transmits a negative pulse.
[0039] The second program-controlled switch S2 and the third program-controlled switch S3 are respectively connected to the multi-channel isolator.
[0040] The phased array electromagnetic ultrasonic sensor includes a plurality of array elements connected in parallel, each array element is an independent coil and can independently receive ultrasonic signals.
[0041] The multi-channel isolator includes a plurality of delay timers connected in parallel; each of the delay timers is connected to a corresponding array element, respectively, and is used to control the delay of each array element.
[0042] Based on the positive pulse and the negative pulse, each array element excites the first ultrasonic wave and the second ultrasonic wave according to a specified delay.
[0043] When the first ultrasonic wave and the second ultrasonic wave contact the measured area, a first ultrasonic echo and a second ultrasonic echo are generated, and the first ultrasonic echo and the second ultrasonic echo are received by each array element; for each array element, the received first ultrasonic echo corresponds to the emitted first ultrasonic wave, and the received second ultrasonic echo corresponds to the emitted second ultrasonic wave.
[0044] Each of the preamplifiers is connected to a corresponding array element, and is used to amplify, filter, and perform analog-to-digital conversion on the first ultrasonic echo and the second ultrasonic echo to obtain a first data set and a second data set.
[0045] The data processing module is connected to each of the preamplifiers, respectively, and is used to add the first data set and the second data set to obtain a total data set; determine the total superimposed echo amplitude at any position in the measured area according to the total data set and the detection coordinate system; obtain material defect information according to the total superimposed echo amplitude; the total data set includes the collected data of several array elements; the detection coordinate system is a coordinate system established with the center of the first array element.
[0046] As an optional embodiment, the electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array high-energy excitation and full-field high-speed focusing imaging device also includes: a main control module, which is respectively connected to the differential isolation high-voltage pulse transmitter and the data processing module, and is used to control the differential isolation high-voltage pulse transmitter to emit pulses, and is also used to adjust the parameters of the data processing module.
[0047] As an optional implementation, the electromagnetic ultrasonic phased array high-energy excitation and global high-speed focusing imaging device further includes: a display module.
[0048] The main control module is connected to the display module, and is also used to display the tested area corresponding to the minimum value and the maximum value of the total superimposed echo amplitude in a color map to obtain a final test result map.
[0049] Among them, the output end of the differential isolation high-voltage pulse transmitter is in differential isolation mode, that is, the positive and negative ends of the output end of the high-voltage pulse transmitter are not connected to the system ground.
[0050] The multi-channel isolator contains a delay timer. When the excitation trigger signal comes, each array element excites the corresponding array element of each phased array electromagnetic ultrasonic sensor to emit after its own delay, forming a high-energy ultrasonic wave directed in a specified direction, and isolating the array elements of each phased array electromagnetic ultrasonic sensor so that the received signals between the array elements can be independent of each other without crosstalk. It allows the high-voltage pulse (generally tens of volts to thousands of volts) emitted by the high-voltage pulse transmitter to pass through each array element of the phased array electromagnetic ultrasonic sensor to excite each array element of the phased array electromagnetic ultrasonic sensor to work. The weak ultrasonic signal received by each array element of the phased array electromagnetic ultrasonic sensor cannot pass through the multi-channel isolator in reverse, achieving an isolation effect. That is, the multi-channel isolator is also used to achieve signal isolation.
[0051] Multiple groups of independent preamplifiers (preamplifiers 1-N) are exactly the same, and they mainly complete the amplification and filtering of ultrasonic echo signals received by corresponding connected array elements of the phased array electromagnetic ultrasonic sensor, and finally input the signals into the data processing module through analog-to-digital conversion.
[0052] The data processing module performs data calculations according to the set algorithm, obtains material defect information and transmits it to the main control module for processing.
[0053] The main control module is mainly responsible for pulse emission, system parameter adjustment, and transmitting material defect information to the display module for display.
[0054] The display module is mainly responsible for displaying test results, defects, etc.
[0055] The present application greatly improves the electromagnetic ultrasound excitation energy and reduces the imaging calculation amount, thereby improving the instrument signal-to-noise ratio, imaging speed and imaging clarity while reducing hardware requirements.

[0078] Specifically, the instrument excitation receiving method is as follows.
[0079] 1. The fourth program-controlled switch S4 and the second program-controlled switch S2 are closed, the first program-controlled switch S1 and the third program-controlled switch S3 are opened, the differential isolation high-voltage pulse transmitter sends a specified number of cycle high-voltage pulses, and the second program-controlled switch S2 emits a positive pulse, such as Figure 3 As shown; at this time, the phased array electromagnetic ultrasonic sensor starts to work, and the array elements 1~N of the phased array electromagnetic ultrasonic sensor excite ultrasonic waves according to the specified delay law. The ultrasonic echoes received by each array element are amplified by the preamplifiers 1~N connected thereto, and then collected simultaneously and sent to the data processing module for storage. Suppose the data set of each channel at this time is data set A.
[0080] Compared with the excitation of a single array element, the simultaneous excitation of each array element will excite a higher energy ultrasonic signal. In addition, the instrument structure is simpler, the volume and power consumption are lower, so that the excitation energy can be more focused on the defect, which can improve the detection sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio.

The ultrasonic echoes received by each array element are amplified by the preamplifier 1~N connected to it, and then collected and sent to the data processing module for storage. Suppose the data set of each channel at this time is data set B.
[0082] 3. Add the corresponding channel data of data set A and data set B to obtain data C.
[0083] Since data set A and data set B are high-voltage pulse excitations with the same parameters but opposite amplitudes, the addition of data set A and data set B in data C will offset the inherent noise in the excitation circuit, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio and resolution.
[0084] Compared with the traditional phased array, which excites the probes one by one according to the delay rule, the work efficiency is improved. At the same time, the amount of collected data is greatly reduced, which reduces the subsequent calculation amount, improves the detection efficiency and reduces the hardware requirements.
[0085] 4. The calculation steps of the imaging method are as follows.
[0086] The first step is to establish a detection coordinate system; the detection coordinate system is a coordinate system established with the center of the first array element; the detection coordinate system is as follows Figure 5 As shown, any point in the specimen is .
[0087] Data C contains synchronously collected data of all channels. The calculation formula for the collected data corresponding to each array element 1 to N in data C is shown in formula (1).
[0088] The second step is to calculate the total superimposed echo amplitude at any position in the measured area according to formula (2).
[0089] The third step is to display the imaging results in color.
[0090] The minimum and maximum values of the total superimposed echo amplitude in the imaging area are respectively matched to the colorbar with a continuous gradient from blue to red, and a one-to-one correspondence between the total superimposed echo amplitude in the imaging area and the pixel color value is established. The final detection result is shown in the figure below. Figure 7 shown.
[0091] For example, Figure 6 The defective test block is imaged as shown. Using the common imaging algorithm, the following Figure 8 The detection results of the present invention are as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the imaging is clear, without artifacts, the hole shape is not distorted, and the detection result is good.
[0092] The present application greatly improves the electromagnetic ultrasound excitation energy and reduces the imaging calculation amount, thereby improving the instrument signal-to-noise ratio, imaging speed and imaging clarity while reducing hardware requirements.

The ultrasonic nondestructive testing scenario includes: a forward pulse detection link, a reverse pulse detection link and a defect detection link; first, based on the forward pulse, a first ultrasonic wave is obtained, and according to the first ultrasonic wave, a first ultrasonic echo is obtained; the first ultrasonic echo is the echo generated when the first ultrasonic wave contacts the measured area; the first ultrasonic echo is amplified, filtered and analog-to-digital converted to obtain a first data set; then, based on the reverse pulse, a second ultrasonic wave is obtained; according to the second ultrasonic wave, a second ultrasonic echo is obtained; the second ultrasonic echo is the echo generated when the second ultrasonic wave contacts the measured area; the second ultrasonic echo is amplified, filtered and analog-to-digital converted to obtain a second data set; finally, the first data set and the second data set are added to obtain a total data set; according to the total data set and the detection coordinate system, the total superimposed echo amplitude at any position in the measured area is determined; according to the total superimposed echo amplitude, material defect information can be obtained.
