[0042] The coil group 2 includes eight hollow coils, the magnetic focusing structure 3 includes eight cylindrical magnetic cores, the first switch chip 401 and the second switch chip 402 include two-way selection switches for four channels, and the pulse signal 405 is generated by a detection device.

[0043] The four groups of independent input ends of the first switch chip 401 jointly receive the excitation signal of the eddy current detection equipment. The first switch chip 401 selects the corresponding channel, and the excitation signal enters the common input end of the second switch chip 402; the second switch chip 402 selects the corresponding channel, and the excitation signal enters the corresponding coil group for excitation. The coil group receives the excitation signal to generate an alternating magnetic field, and the alternating magnetic field generates an eddy current signal in the arc-shaped area of ​​the workpiece to be detected.

[0045] Channels 1, ..., 4 are turned on in sequence through high / low level signals. When one of the channels is turned on, the other three channels are turned off, thereby reducing the noise of the entire circuit.

[0046] The excitation signal, eddy current detection signal, and pulse signal 405 of the high / low level signal are all transmitted through the I / O signal line 5, and the I / O signal line is a shielded signal line.

The opening at the top of the probe housing 1 is sealed by a sealing cover 6 and a fixing screw 7. That is, the sealing cover 6 is sealed and connected to the edge of the opening at the top of the probe housing 1 by the fixing screw 7. The four end points at the top of the probe housing 1 are provided with sealing cover fixing screw holes 102, and the fixing screws 7 are connected to the sealing cover fixing screw holes 102.

[0048] The present invention adopts four groups of bridge structures and carries eight detection coils for scanning. Adjacent coils are partially overlapped to eliminate the detection blind area, so that one scan can fully cover the arc-shaped area of ​​the load-bearing component and its surrounding area, thereby improving the detection sensitivity and scanning efficiency. The detection method provided by the present invention can perform in-service detection of the arc-shaped area of ​​the load-bearing component with coating, further improving the efficiency of non-destructive testing and realizing the greening of non-destructive testing.

[0049] This embodiment also provides a detection method using a multi-channel eddy current detection probe, comprising the following steps:

[0050] Step S1) connecting the multi-channel eddy current detection probe to the multi-channel eddy current detection device; specifically: the eddy current detection device is connected to the multi-channel eddy current detection probe via the I / O signal line 5;

[0051] Step S2) placing the multi-channel eddy current detection probe on the arc surface of the load-bearing component to be inspected, and the arc surface of the multi-channel eddy current detection probe is arranged corresponding to the arc surface of the arc area of ​​the load-bearing component to be inspected; specifically: the sensitive surface of the eddy current detection probe is closely attached to the arc surface of the load-bearing component 8 to be inspected, and at this time, the axis of the excitation coil is perpendicular to the detection surface;

[0052] Step S3) pressing the probe housing of the multi-channel eddy current detection probe so that the bottom surface where the excitation / receiving module of the multi-channel eddy current detection probe is located is fully coupled with the arc-shaped area surface of the load-bearing component to be detected; specifically: the eddy current detection device generates a sinusoidal excitation signal and a synchronous pulse signal, the excitation signal excites each coil group in a time-sharing manner through a switch circuit controlled by the synchronous pulse signal, the coil group generates a high-frequency electromagnetic field and enhances the induced magnetic field strength through a magnetic core, the induced magnetic field fully penetrates into the matrix material of the component to be detected, and at the same time the coil group picks up the eddy current detection signal containing the defect information of the detection part, and transmits the eddy current detection signal to the detection device through the switch circuit;

[0053] Step S4), push the multi-channel eddy current detection probe at a uniform speed along the extension direction of the arc-shaped area of ​​the load-bearing component to be detected until all the detection of the arc-shaped area of ​​the load-bearing component to be detected is completed; specifically: push the multi-channel probe at a uniform speed and always keep the probe sensitive surface and the arc-shaped area of ​​the load-bearing component fully coupled, and observe the display interface of the eddy current detection equipment at the same time.

[0054] like Figure 6 As shown, the load-bearing component 8 to be inspected is fixed on the hanging bolt 9, and the load-bearing component 8 to be inspected has an arc-shaped area 801. If a fatigue crack 802 defect occurs in the arc-shaped area 801, a defect signal 10 will appear in the channel window corresponding to the display interface. Figure 7As shown, the defect signal 10 is in the S2:P2 window; the display signals at the non-defective locations are shown in the other three windows S1:P1, S3:P3, and S4:P4.

[0055] The eddy current detection circuit is composed of a bridge structure and a coil group, so that the two coils of the bridge arm can work at the same time and have the same sensitivity, which improves the eddy current detection efficiency; the multiplexing circuit is adopted so that the eddy current detection equipment can drive four groups (8) of coils for detection in a time-sharing manner under the condition of only one group of excitation and reception, which further improves the detection efficiency;

[0056] Two switch circuit boards are used to construct the bridge circuit, so that when one group of bridges is working, the other three groups of bridges are in an open circuit state, which reduces the interference signal in the circuit and improves the stability and reliability of the eddy current detection signal;

[0057] The size of the detection probe is designed by profiling the R-angle structure size, so that the sensitive surface of the probe can be fully coupled with the surface to be detected during the detection process, thereby improving the detection sensitivity; the eddy current detection probe is small in size and can perform high-precision detection in a narrow arc-shaped area; the coil groups are arranged in a partially overlapping manner, eliminating the missed detection of the area between adjacent coils;

[0058] The multi-channel eddy current detection probe can perform in-service inspection on the arc-shaped area of ​​the component with a non-conductive coating, realizing the greening of non-destructive testing.
