Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of aerospace digital measurement technology, and in particular to a large thin-walled part measurement method and system based on structured light scanning and electromagnetic ultrasound. Background Art
[0002] With the development of industrial automation and precision manufacturing technology, the measurement accuracy requirements for large thin-walled parts are increasing. These parts are widely used in aerospace, automobile manufacturing, precision instruments and other fields, and their quality directly affects the safety and reliability of the products. Traditional contact measurement methods are inefficient and easily damage thin-walled parts, affecting their integrity and performance. Therefore, non-contact measurement technology is gradually emerging. Structured light cameras can provide high-precision external point cloud information and construct accurate three-dimensional models by analyzing the deformation of light patterns on the surface of parts. However, relying solely on contour information is not enough to meet the measurement needs of large thin-walled parts, because their internal structure and wall thickness are equally important. Electromagnetic ultrasonic technology can non-destructively measure the thickness of parts and accurately obtain wall thickness information by transmitting and receiving ultrasonic signals.
[0003] Regarding patent CN202411082387.X, the proposed pulsed electromagnetic electromagnetic ultrasonic thickness gauge realizes non-contact high-precision measurement and is easy to operate, especially reducing the force requirement when the probe is separated from the object being measured. However, the patent has shortcomings in acquiring surface information, cannot provide detailed surface feature data, and has relatively single functions, which limits its applicability in certain applications. In addition, patent CN202211103848.8 uses optical means to achieve non-contact automated scanning and detection of the engine shape, improving the safety and efficiency of detection. The system is mounted on a six-axis robotic arm to achieve flexible automated scanning, but it also lacks the ability to acquire internal structure information, which limits its use in specific application scenarios.

These all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
[0043] Example 1

The structured light camera module is used to capture the external point cloud data of the part, while the electromagnetic ultrasonic thickness measurement module is used to measure the thickness information of the part. The data processing unit is responsible for integrating these two types of data and performing three-dimensional reconstruction. The control unit is used to manage the entire measurement process, while the user interface provides operation instructions and result display. The measuring device of the present invention can achieve accurate three-dimensional reconstruction of large thin-walled parts, improve measurement accuracy, optimize quality control processes, and simplify operations. As shown Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides an integrated measurement method, which combines a structured light camera with an electromagnetic ultrasonic thickness measurement module, and can perform synchronous measurement and data processing in a spatial coordinate system through the flexible movement of a robotic arm.
[0045] 1. Equipment composition
[0046] In this embodiment, the integrated measurement system includes a structured light camera, an electromagnetic ultrasonic thickness measurement module, a robotic arm, a data processing unit and a control unit. The structured light camera is used to obtain external point cloud data of the target thin-walled part, and the electromagnetic ultrasonic thickness measurement module is used to measure the internal wall thickness information in real time.
[0047] 2. System Integration
[0048] The structured light camera and electromagnetic ultrasonic thickness measurement module are integrated at the end of the robotic arm to ensure the synchronous measurement capability of the two. The robotic arm is designed to have at least six degrees of freedom to adapt to thin-walled parts of different shapes and positions.
[0049] 3. Measurement process
[0050] Before officially starting the measurement, we first implement an accurate spatial calibration process to ensure the consistency of ultrasonic thickness measurement data and point cloud data in three-dimensional space. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the main process is as follows: first, the field of view of the structured light scan is obtained. After the actual scanning range is obtained, the electromagnetic ultrasonic thickness measurement path is planned according to the point cloud scanning area as shown in Figure 3, and the corresponding robot arm movement speed is set according to the required measurement accuracy and efficiency; after the structured light camera completes the point cloud data acquisition, the point cloud data set is obtained as P i =(x i ,y i ,z i ),i∈[1,k], where x i ,y i ,z i , respectively, are the world coordinates of the X, Y, and Z of the acquisition point, and k is the number of measurement points; the robotic arm quickly adjusts the electromagnetic ultrasonic thickness measurement module to the corresponding thickness measurement position according to the preset path to quickly scan and obtain the thickness data set T i =(x,t i ,n),i∈[1,m], where x,t i ,n, respectively, are the corresponding thickness t under the X-axis obtained by a single scan i , n is the serial number of the scanning point, and m is the number of measuring points.
[0051] 4. Data processing and fusion
[0052] The data processing unit uses an efficient point cloud processing algorithm for denoising and segmentation, and filters the ultrasonic thickness measurement data to reduce error terms. After data preprocessing, more accurate point cloud data and thickness measurement data are obtained. In the data fusion process, the point cloud data set information P is measured in real time. i =(x i ,y i ,z i ) and the wall thickness information of the measuring point to obtain the wall thickness data set T i =(x,t i ,n), where due to the inconsistency between the sampling range of the point cloud and the thickness measurement range, data acquisition calibration and synchronization are required; specifically, the thickness measurement path and sampling frequency f are planned according to the sampling interval of the point cloud and the required accuracy, and the z-axis direction is scanned based on the x-coordinate. A single scan is performed for the same x-coordinate. The robot arm scans along the z-axis at a scanning speed v. According to the scanning speed v, the sampling frequency f and the sampling point number n, the corresponding point z can be calculated i The z-axis coordinate: z i =z0+v*n / f;
[0053] From this, we can get the thickness measurement point information (x, z i ,t i ).
[0054] 5. Point cloud generation after data fusion
[0055] Calculate (x i ,y i ,z i )’s actual corresponding point: (x i ,y i -t i ,z i ), since the density of the thickness measurement points is inconsistent with the actual point cloud points, it is also necessary to generate virtual points according to the required accuracy, and the thickness of the generated target point is consistent with the point thickness within the radius of the electromagnetic ultrasonic thickness measurement module. The calculated actual corresponding points and the generated virtual corresponding points are added as new point cloud data to the original point cloud data set to form a fused point cloud data set Q with thickness information. i =(x i ,y i ,z i ),i∈[1,k+l], where x i ,y i ,z i are the X, Y, and Z coordinates of the point in the point cloud, k is the number of points in the original point cloud, and l is the sum of the calculated actual corresponding points and the generated virtual corresponding points.
[0056] 6. Results display and control
[0057] The measurement results are displayed through the user interface, providing real-time data and 3D reconstruction models so that users can view the measurement results immediately. The control unit automatically adjusts the operating status of the measuring device according to the parameters set by the user, and monitors the measurement process in real time to ensure the consistency and accuracy of the collected data.
