[0028] In order to facilitate the understanding of the technical solution of the application, the relevant technologies involved in this application are first explained below.

[0029] At present, after the production of the workpiece is completed, it is generally necessary to detect the surface damage of the workpiece to determine whether the workpiece has surface damage. In the related art, the use of laser to excite ultrasound has the characteristics of non-contact and high photoacoustic conversion efficiency. The use of electromagnetic ultrasonic transducers to receive ultrasound has the advantages of non-contact and low requirements on the surface state of the workpiece. Through the combination of laser excitation and electromagnetic ultrasonic technology, surface waves are stimulated.

However, the related art is to simultaneously receive the defect echo signals on both sides of the coil to realize damage detection on the workpiece surface. Therefore, the received defect echo cannot determine the direction of damage on the workpiece surface, that is, it cannot determine the position of the defect relative to the receiving coil.

[0047] Figure 5 A flowchart of a defect rapid imaging method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0048] Combination Figures 1 to 4 The defect rapid imaging system shown in the figure, the embodiment of the present application also provides a defect rapid imaging method, the execution subject of the method can be an electronic device, such as Figure 5 As shown, the defect rapid imaging method includes steps S100 to S500, which are specifically as follows:

[0049] Step S100, according to a preset path, drive the displacement component to move according to a preset step length, and traverse each scanning position on the preset path; the preset path includes multiple scanning positions.

[0050] In this step, multiple scanning positions are set on a preset path, so that detection ultrasound is emitted at each scanning position, and echo signals at each ultrasound position are obtained, thereby realizing surface damage detection of the workpiece to be detected.

[0051] For example, in combination Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the preset path is a preset distance along the y-axis direction. The preset step length is less than or equal to the single detection length of the ultrasonic detection. After the displacement component is driven to move according to the preset step length, the displacement component moves from the previous scanning position to the next scanning position.

[0052] Specifically, combined Figure 2 As shown, in step S100, the computing device 40 sends a control movement instruction to the stepper motor driver 101 to control the rotation of the stepper motor 102. The stepper motor 102 is configured to be connected to the displacement platform 103, and the stepper motor 102 rotates to drive the displacement platform 103 to move, thereby driving the workpiece 50 to move.

[0053] Step S200, when the displacement component reaches the scanning position, the ultrasonic output component is controlled to emit detection ultrasound to the workpiece to be measured.

[0054] In this step, when the displacement assembly reaches the scanning position, a detection ultrasound is emitted to the workpiece to be tested, so as to obtain a partial echo signal of the workpiece to be tested corresponding to the current scanning position. Thus, after completely traversing each scanning position, the complete echo signal of the workpiece to be tested is obtained, thereby realizing the surface damage detection of the workpiece to be tested.

[0055] Specifically, combined Figure 2 As shown, in step S200, the computing device 40 sends a detection ultrasound emission instruction to the pulse laser 201 to control the pulse laser 201 to emit a light pulse. The light pulse is transmitted to the ultrasound excitation probe 203 through the energy transmission optical fiber 202 to emit the detection ultrasound.

[0056] Step S300, controlling the electromagnetic ultrasonic unidirectional transducer to acquire the echo signal generated by the detection ultrasound.

[0057] In this step, when the displacement assembly reaches the scanning position, the detection ultrasound is first sent to the workpiece to be tested, so as to generate an echo signal after the detection ultrasound contacts the damage of the workpiece to be tested, thereby determining whether the workpiece to be tested has damage according to the echo signal obtained by the electromagnetic ultrasonic unidirectional transducer.

[0058] Specifically, combined Figure 2 As shown, in step S300, the computing device 40 sends an echo acquisition instruction to the electromagnetic ultrasonic unidirectional transducer 30, and the electromagnetic ultrasonic unidirectional transducer 30 sends the induced voltage (first voltage signal and second voltage signal) of the first coil 302 and the second coil 303 to the electronic device to achieve the acquisition of the echo signal.

[0059] Step S400, extracting the first echo signal along the direction to be detected from the echo signal; the direction to be detected is any direction of the electromagnetic ultrasonic unidirectional transducer perpendicular to the preset path (for example Figure 2 positive x-axis as shown).

[0060] In this step, by extracting the first echo signal along the direction to be detected from the echo signal, the signal on one side of the electromagnetic ultrasonic unidirectional transducer is obtained, thereby facilitating confirmation of the damage direction corresponding to the echo signal.

[0061] Specifically, since the first echo signal is an echo signal along the direction to be detected, the distance between the damage in the direction to be detected and the electromagnetic ultrasonic unidirectional transducer can be determined based on the first echo signal, and combined with the scanning position when the electromagnetic ultrasonic unidirectional transducer receives the echo signal, the position where the damage is located on the surface of the workpiece to be detected can be determined.

[0062] Optionally, combined Figure 3and Figure 4 As shown, the electromagnetic ultrasonic unidirectional transducer 30 includes a first coil 302 and a second coil 303. Step S400 includes steps S401 to S403, which are specifically as follows:

[0063] Step S401, determining a first voltage signal and a second voltage signal corresponding to the detected ultrasound; the first voltage signal is obtained by inducing an echo signal by the first coil, and the second voltage signal is obtained by inducing an echo signal by the second coil.

[0064] In this step, after the echo signal is transmitted to the first coil and the second coil, the induced voltage of the first coil is a first voltage signal, and the induced voltage of the second coil is a second voltage signal, thereby extracting the first echo signal along the direction to be detected based on the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal.

[0065] Step S402: Based on the delay technology, determine a third voltage signal corresponding to the first voltage signal, where the third voltage signal is a signal that delays the first phase of the first voltage signal. Got it.

[0066] Specifically, the third phase of the third voltage signal is equal to the first phase minus

[0067] For example, in combination Figure 2 As shown, step S402 is implemented by the delay and superposition module 401.

[0068] Step S403, based on the superposition technology, determine the fourth voltage signal corresponding to the second voltage signal and the third voltage signal, the fourth voltage signal is obtained by superimposing the third voltage signal and the second voltage signal; the first echo signal includes the fourth voltage signal in the direction to be detected.

[0069] In this embodiment, through the delay technology and superposition technology, the first voltage signal is delayed and then superimposed with the second voltage signal, so that the signal (first echo signal) propagating in the positive direction of the x-axis (the direction to be detected) is enhanced and the signal (second echo signal) propagating in the negative direction of the x-axis (opposite to the direction to be detected) is attenuated, thereby extracting the first echo signal.

[0070] Optionally, the echo signal includes a first echo signal in a direction to be detected and a second echo signal in a direction opposite to the direction to be detected; the first phase of the first voltage signal is The second phase of the second voltage signal is In the case where the echo signal is the first echo signal, In the case where the echo signal is the second echo signal,

[0071] In this embodiment, the phase difference between the first echo signal and the second echo signal is limited, so that after the first voltage signal is delayed and superimposed with the second voltage signal, the first echo signal (the echo signal in the direction to be detected) is strengthened, while the second echo signal (the echo signal in the opposite direction to be detected) is attenuated.

[0072] Optionally, after step S403, step S404 is further included:

[0073] Step S404, amplify and filter the fourth voltage signal, so as to increase the voltage strength of the fourth voltage signal, improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the fourth voltage signal, and eliminate noise in the fourth voltage signal.

[0074] Specifically, combined Figure 2 As shown, step S404 is implemented by the amplification and filtering module 402 .

[0075] Optionally, when the echo signal is a first echo signal, the third voltage signal includes a first sub-signal; and the first voltage signal is: The first sub-signal is:

[0076] In this embodiment, when the echo signal is the first echo signal (the direction is the direction to be detected), the first phase of the delayed first voltage signal is After that, the third phase of the third voltage signal (first sub-signal) is obtained as

[0077] Optionally, the fourth voltage signal includes a third sub-signal; and the second voltage signal is: The third sub-signal is:

[0078] In this embodiment, when the echo signal is the first echo signal, the fourth voltage signal obtained by superimposing the first sub-signal with the second voltage signal is the third sub-signal to obtain an enhanced third sub-signal, that is, to obtain an enhanced first echo signal (the echo signal in the direction to be detected).

[0079] Optionally, when the echo signal is the second echo signal, the third voltage signal includes the second sub-signal; and the first voltage signal is: The second sub-signal is:

[0080] In this embodiment, when the echo signal is the second echo signal (the direction is opposite to the direction to be detected), the first phase of the first voltage signal is delayed After that, the third phase of the third voltage signal (second sub-signal) is obtained as The amplitude of the third voltage signal is opposite to that of the second voltage signal. Specifically, due to the phase difference between the first pressure of the first voltage signal and the second pressure of the second voltage signal, Therefore, the second sub-signal obtained after delaying the first voltage signal is opposite to the second voltage signal, and after superimposing the second sub-signal and the second voltage signal, the fourth sub-signal obtained is 0, thereby achieving attenuation of the second echo signal and extracting the first echo signal from the echo signal.

[0081] Optionally, the fourth voltage signal includes a fourth sub-signal; and the second voltage signal is: The fourth sub-signal is: u2=0.

[0082] In this embodiment, when the echo signal is the second echo signal, the fourth voltage signal obtained by superimposing the second sub-signal with the second voltage signal is the fourth sub-signal, so as to obtain a fourth sub-signal attenuated to 0, that is, an attenuated second echo signal (the echo signal in the direction to be detected), thereby realizing the extraction of the first echo signal in the echo signal.

[0083] Step S500 : constructing a defect image corresponding to the first echo signal based on a frequency domain synthetic aperture imaging algorithm and the first echo signal, wherein the defect image includes defect position information.

[0084] Optionally, step S500 includes steps S501 to S505, which are specifically as follows:

[0085] Step S501, preprocessing the first echo signal; the preprocessing includes noise reduction processing and interference removal processing.

[0086] Step S502: Determine a frequency domain signal corresponding to the first echo signal based on Fourier transform.

[0087] Step S503: superimpose and combine the frequency domain signals to determine the total frequency domain signal of the workpiece to be measured.

[0088] Step S504: determining a time domain image corresponding to the total frequency domain signal based on inverse Fourier transform.

[0089] Step S505: Visualize the time domain image to determine the defect image.

[0090] In this embodiment, through steps S501 to S505, a defect image of the surface of the workpiece to be measured corresponding to the first echo signal can be constructed, thereby facilitating processing of the workpiece to be measured and other issues.

[0091] Specifically, the frequency domain-based synthetic aperture imaging algorithm is based on the back propagation theory, which regards each pixel as a sound source, thereby eliminating the propagation time of the ultrasonic wave from the excitation point to the pixel point, and requires that the excitation and receiving positions of the ultrasonic wave coincide. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application proposes to perform negative compensation on the sound path, subtract the distance between the excitation point and the center of the electromagnetic ultrasonic unidirectional transducer from the sound path, and regard the ultrasonic wave as being emitted from the center of the electromagnetic ultrasonic unidirectional transducer. Accordingly, the time domain signal is intercepted to obtain data for frequency domain-based synthetic aperture imaging.

[0092] By using the defect rapid imaging method provided in the embodiment of the present application, damage detection of the surface of the workpiece to be tested is realized based on the detection of one-way echo of ultrasound, and the damage position of the surface of the workpiece to be tested can be determined based on the one-way echo, and the surface image of the workpiece to be tested can be further constructed. The detection accuracy of damage to the workpiece to be tested is increased, the detection time of damage to the surface of the workpiece to be tested is reduced, and the efficiency of detecting damage to the surface of the workpiece to be tested is improved.

The electronic device is communicatively connected with the displacement component, the ultrasonic output component and the electromagnetic ultrasonic unidirectional transducer. The electronic device is configured to drive the displacement component to move according to a preset step length along a preset path, and traverse each scanning position on the preset path; the preset path includes multiple scanning positions; when the displacement component reaches the scanning position, the ultrasonic output component is controlled to emit detection ultrasound to the workpiece to be measured; the electromagnetic ultrasonic unidirectional transducer is controlled to obtain the echo signal generated by the detection ultrasound; the first echo signal along the direction to be detected in the echo signal is extracted; the direction to be detected is any direction of the electromagnetic ultrasonic unidirectional transducer perpendicular to the preset path; based on the synthetic aperture imaging algorithm in the frequency domain and the first echo signal, a defect image corresponding to the first echo signal is constructed, and the defect image contains defect position information.

[0094] The defect rapid imaging system provided in the embodiment of the present application is used to achieve damage detection on the surface of the workpiece to be tested based on the one-way echo of the detection ultrasound through the cooperation between the displacement component, the ultrasonic output component, the electromagnetic ultrasonic one-way transducer and the electronic device, and can determine the damage position on the surface of the workpiece to be tested based on the one-way echo, and further can construct the surface image of the workpiece to be tested. The detection accuracy of the damage of the workpiece to be tested is increased, the detection time of the damage on the surface of the workpiece to be tested is reduced, and the efficiency of detecting the damage on the surface of the workpiece to be tested is improved.

[0095] Optionally, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the electromagnetic ultrasonic unidirectional transducer includes a first coil and a second coil; the distance between the first coil and the second coil is d, the wavelength of the detected ultrasound is λ, and d=1 / 4λ.

[0096] In this embodiment, the distance between the first coil and the second coil is limited so that the first voltage signal induced by the first coil and the second voltage signal induced by the second coil have a certain value. , thereby facilitating the extraction of the first echo signal from the echo signal.

[0097] For example, in combination Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The surface of the workpiece 50 to be tested shown has a first defect 501, a second defect 502 and a third defect 503, and the first defect 501, the second defect 502 and the third defect 503 are all crack defects. The aforementioned workpiece 50 to be tested is inspected and imaged, and the y-axis scanning length is set to 350 mm (that is, the path is set to include a path with a preset distance of 350 mm along the y-axis), and the scanning step length (preset step length) is 1 mm, and a total of 350 sets of ultrasonic data are obtained. The data are processed by the frequency domain-based synthetic aperture imaging algorithm and the traditional time domain B-scan imaging algorithm provided in the embodiment of the present application, respectively, which takes 0.057304 s and 0.291197 s respectively. The imaging speed of the former is 5 times that of the latter. It can be seen that the frequency domain-based synthetic aperture imaging algorithm has a faster speed. Especially when the amount of data is large, the defect rapid imaging method and system provided in the embodiment of the present application have more obvious advantages. In addition, the existing defect image construction method receives signals from both sides of the transducer at the same time, and can only identify the presence or absence of defects but cannot distinguish the specific direction of the defects. In comparison, the embodiments of the present application can provide the location of the defects.
