DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] An embodiment of the present invention provides an automated detection method for material uniformity, such as Figure 1 As shown, the automated material uniformity detection method according to the embodiment of the present invention includes steps S1 to S5.

[0020] Step S1 is a detection condition setting step. In step S1, the voltage, current, and exposure time conditions of the X-ray emitter are set, and parameters such as the observation area and uniformity judgment standard of the material to be tested are set.

[0021] Specifically, according to the type of material to be tested, the following test conditions are mainly set: (1) Set the voltage, current and exposure time of the X-ray emitter; (2) Set up the observation area for the material to be tested; (3) Set the criteria for determining the uniformity of the material to be tested, that is, under the conditions set in (1) and in the observation area set in (2), the coefficient of variation obtained by calculation in the subsequent steps CV Failure to meet required thresholds; (4) Set control parameters such as the interval time for the next detection.

[0022] Step S2 is an empty field test step. In step S2, according to the set detection conditions, X-rays are used to directly irradiate the detector to obtain an empty field detection image.

[0023] Specifically, according to the voltage, current and exposure time conditions of the X-ray emitter set in step S1, X-rays are used to directly irradiate the detector surface without any obstacles in the middle and without placing the material to be tested (hereinafter referred to as empty field test), and the X-ray detection image (empty field detection image) obtained by the empty field test is used as the basic reference image for subsequent judgment.

[0024] The gray value of the pixel point in the empty field detection image is calculated according to the following formula (1):

[0025] in: is the X-ray dose received by the detector at the pixel position with (x, y) coordinates in the empty field test, is the gray value of the pixel at the (x, y) coordinate position of the empty field detection image, k is a constant.

[0026] The step is S3, a full-field test step. In step S3, according to the set detection conditions, the material to be tested is placed on the detector surface, irradiated with X-rays, and a full-field detection image is obtained.

[0027] Specifically, according to the voltage, current and exposure time conditions of the X-ray emitter set in step S1, the material to be tested is placed on the detector surface, and the detector surface is irradiated with X-rays (hereinafter referred to as full-field test).

[0028] It can be learned that:

[0029] in: is the X-ray dose received by the detector at the pixel position of (x, y) coordinates after being blocked and attenuated by the material in the full-field test. is the grayscale value of the pixel at the (x, y) coordinate of the full-field detection image. u is the comprehensive attenuation coefficient, d is the X-ray transmission distance.

[0030] And, the pixel grayscale value of the full-field detection image is calculated according to the following formula (3):

[0031] in: is the grayscale value of the pixel at the (x, y) coordinate position of the full-field detection image.

[0032] Step S4 is a step of calculating the coefficient of variation. In step S4, the coefficient of variation CV of the material to be tested in the observation area is calculated based on the grayscale values ​​of the pixels in the empty-field detection image and the grayscale values ​​of the pixels in the full-field detection image.

[0033] Specifically, the X-ray detection images obtained by the empty field test in step S2 and the full field test in step S3 are processed to calculate the pixel points corresponding to different areas of the material. ud The coefficient of variation CV The specific implementation process is as follows: According to formulas (1), (2) and (3), we can obtain:

[0034] Therefore, after dividing the grayscale values ​​of the empty field detection image and the full field detection image and taking the logarithm, we can obtain all the pixels corresponding to the observation area. ud , and then according to all the pixels ud , find the coefficient of variation CV , the specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0035] in: N is the total number of pixels in the observation area, For all pixels in the observation area ud The mean of For observation area i Pixels ud value.

[0036] Step S5 is a uniformity determination step. In step S5, based on the coefficient of variation of the observation area obtained in step S4, CV , and the step S1 preset CVWhen the material is below the threshold, it is judged that the material uniformity meets the requirements, and the material is transferred to the qualified product placement area, and the next material to be tested is started after the interval time; when it is equal to or higher than the threshold, it is judged that the material uniformity is unqualified, and the material is transferred to the unqualified product placement area, and the next material to be tested is started after the interval time.

[0037] The following is a specific example to illustrate the effect of the automated material uniformity detection method of the embodiment of the present invention. The method of the embodiment of the present invention is used to detect the uniformity of a 2.5mm thick glass. The detection conditions are set as follows: the X-ray emitter voltage is 28KV, the emitter current is 45mA, the emitter exposure time is 300ms, the observation area is set to the gray value data of the area covered by the entire glass, and the corresponding pixel points are set. ud The coefficient of variation CV The threshold for not meeting the requirements is 1.30%, etc.

[0038] The first test results:

[0039] The first test obtained CV It is 1.27%, which is lower than the set threshold of 1.33%. It is considered that the uniformity of the tested material meets the requirements.

[0040] Then, the glass was polished with sandpaper to increase the unevenness of its surface, and the test was performed again. CV They are 1.34%, 1.35% and 1.34% respectively, indicating that the uniformity of the glass after sandpaper polishing does not meet the requirements:

[0041] The above implementation cases not only verify the feasibility of the method of the embodiment of the present invention, but also effectively prove that the method of the present invention has extremely high test accuracy.

[0042] In summary, the automated material uniformity detection method of the embodiment of the present invention uses an X-ray detection device to perform transmission imaging on the material, and obtains the attenuation coefficient of each pixel position corresponding to the X-ray passing through the material by changing the gray value data of the pixel point of the transmission image. u and transmission distance d The product of ud , and then according to the position of each pixel corresponding to the material in the observation area ud , calculate and obtain the corresponding pixel points of different areas of the material ud The coefficient of variation CV , through the coefficient of variation CVComprehensively judge the uniformity of the material in different areas, so as to judge the density, thickness consistency, internal defects, etc. of the material in different areas.

[0043] The present invention can effectively solve the problems in the prior art that are difficult to achieve in terms of fast inspection and judgment of the density, thickness consistency, internal defects, etc. of different areas of materials including but not limited to metal plates, carbon fiber plates, assembled foam, glass, metal coatings, etc., and provides a set of fast, high-precision, and low-cost solutions for enterprises to control and inspect the uniformity of incoming materials, and has good engineering application value and huge economic and social benefits.
