[0002] In heat exchanger manufacturing, the AD2000 design specification requires strict radiographic testing of shell butt joints to ensure weld quality. Titanium heat exchangers have higher requirements for welding quality due to the material's characteristics and the high-temperature, high-pressure operating environment. In a fixed-tube-sheet heat exchanger structure where the heat exchange tubes and tube sheets are deep-hole welded on one end and fillet welded on the other, the shell is stuck between the two tube sheets. One section of the cylinder needs to be left unwelded to make room for deep-hole welding of the heat exchange tubes. The last section of the cylinder needs to be split into two halves and then welded and installed. After the shell is welded, it is impossible to enter the interior, making it difficult to conduct comprehensive radiographic testing of the shell. According to GB150 and ASME specifications, ultrasonic testing can be used instead of radiographic testing to solve flaw detection problems, but the AD2000 specification does not allow ultrasonic testing of titanium.

[0046] A method for installing an energy-saving titanium alloy heat exchanger comprises the following steps:

[0047] S1. Perform radiographic inspection on the weld seam of the shell 1 according to the AD2000 design specification to ensure that the quality of the weld seam meets the standard specification requirements and place it between the two positioning sleeves 503;

[0048] S2.

[0049] S3. Weld one side of the upper tube plate 2 to the tie rod 6, install the baffles 7 in sequence, and then install the heat exchange tubes 9 through the bosses 8 in small quantities for positioning;

[0050] S4. Place the upper tube sheet 2 above the adjustment plate 1204, contacting one side with the front support plate 504. Then, the bidirectional telescopic rod 1301 contracts, driving the slider 1305 to move toward the upper tube sheet 2.

Then, the second motor 1201 pushes the upper tube sheet 2 to the end of the shell 1.

[0051] S5. The rear support plate 505 is rotated by extending the motor 1502, and the guide head 11 is installed and magnetically attracted to the electromagnetic ring 1503. The lower tube plate 3 and the guide head 11 are then aligned and installed, and the rear support plate 505 is reset.

[0052] S6. Weld the upper tube sheet 2 and the lower tube sheet 3 to the shell 1, and perform fillet welding on the heat exchange tube 9 and the lower tube sheet 3.

[0053] Furthermore, the step of performing radiographic inspection on the weld of the shell 1 according to the AD2000 design specification in step S1 includes:

[0054] S11. Clean the weld surface, place the X-ray source on one side of the weld, and the digital detector on the opposite side;

[0055] S12, selecting a suitable radiation transmission time according to the thickness and shape of the weld, and starting exposure according to the radiation transmission time to obtain a digital image of the weld;

[0056] S13, performing noise removal, contrast enhancement, and brightness adjustment on the digital image of the weld in sequence to obtain a preprocessed weld image;

[0057] S14, using edge detection technology to analyze and identify the pre-processed weld image to obtain all defect types;

[0058] S15. Obtain corresponding defect features according to each defect type, and obtain weld quality according to the plurality of defect features;

[0059] S16, determining whether the weld quality is less than a preset quality;

[0060] If the weld quality is less than the preset quality, it is determined that the weld quality does not meet the standard specification requirements;

[0061] If the weld quality is not less than the preset quality, the weld quality is judged to meet the standard specification requirements.

[0062] As described in the above steps S11-S16, in the present invention, the weld surface is cleaned, a suitable radiation transmission time is selected according to the thickness and shape of the weld, and exposure is started according to the radiation transmission time to obtain a weld digital image, and the weld digital image is subjected to denoising, contrast enhancement and brightness adjustment in sequence to obtain a pre-processed weld image. The radiation transmission imaging of the weld may be interfered with by various noises (such as electronic noise, scattering, etc.), which may cause the image quality to deteriorate and affect the identification of defects. By denoising, these interferences can be reduced or eliminated, thereby obtaining a clearer and more realistic weld image, which helps to improve the recognizability of weld defects. Defects in the weld are usually less different from the density or thickness of the surrounding metal, but may There are still certain differences. By enhancing the contrast of the image, these subtle differences can be made more obvious, thereby distinguishing the defective area from the rest of the weld. The brightness of the weld image may be affected by many factors (such as exposure time, material type, radiation intensity, etc.). By adjusting the brightness processing, the visibility of the image can be improved to ensure that the details of the weld are not unrecognizable due to being too dark or too bright. Welds of different thicknesses and shapes may require different radiation transmission times to obtain the best imaging effect. If the radiation transmission time is too short or too long, the image may be too blurred or insufficient to penetrate the weld, affecting the display of defects. By reasonably selecting the radiation transmission time, it can be ensured that the digital image of the weld is exposed under optimal conditions to avoid overexposure. Or underexposure, ensure the high quality of the weld image, thereby improving the accuracy of defect detection. Through the automated image preprocessing process, the influence of human factors can be effectively reduced, the automation level of the detection system can be improved, and the accuracy and consistency of the detection can be improved, making the detection process more efficient, reducing errors, and ensuring that the weld quality meets the standard requirements. In the present invention, the preprocessed weld image is analyzed and identified by using edge detection technology to obtain all defect types, and the corresponding defect features are obtained according to each defect type. The weld quality is obtained according to multiple defect features, and it is judged whether the weld quality is less than the preset quality. If the weld quality is less than the preset quality, it is determined that the weld quality does not meet the standard specification requirements. If the weld quality is not less than the preset quality, it is determined that the weld quality does not meet the standard specification requirements. , it is determined that the weld quality meets the standard specification requirements. The edge detection technology is used to analyze the weld image, which can automatically identify the weld defects in the image, avoiding the subjectivity and efficiency problems of manual inspection. The edge detection technology can extract the key features in the weld image and identify different types of defects (such as cracks, pores, slag inclusions, etc.) through image analysis. By extracting the characteristics of each defect and combining the comprehensive analysis of multiple defect characteristics, the overall quality of the weld can be quantified. By setting a standard quality value and automatically judging whether the weld meets this standard, the misjudgment or missed judgment that may occur in manual inspection is avoided. For some small or hidden defects that are difficult to detect with traditional manual methods, edge detection technology and image processing technology can accurately identify them.Especially in complex areas such as the inside of welds or corners, computer vision can detect subtle defects that are difficult to detect with traditional methods through high-precision image recognition.

[0063] Furthermore, the step of selecting a suitable radiation transmission time according to the thickness and shape of the weld in step S12 includes:

[0064] S121. Obtaining the required exposure and characteristic parameters of the weld, wherein the characteristic parameters include the weld radiation absorption coefficient and the weld thickness;

[0065] S122. Obtain the initial intensity of the radiation source, and calculate the radiation transmission time according to the required exposure, the initial intensity of the radiation source, the weld radiation absorption coefficient, and the weld thickness, wherein the calculation formula is:

[0066] ;

[0067] in, represents the radiation transmission time, Indicates the required exposure, represents the initial intensity of the ray source, represents the weld ray absorption coefficient, Indicates the weld thickness.

[0068] As described in the above steps S11-S16, in the present invention, by obtaining the required exposure of the weld and the weld radiation absorption coefficient and weld thickness of the characteristic parameters, by obtaining the initial intensity of the radiation source, and calculating the radiation transmission time according to the required exposure, the initial intensity of the radiation source, the weld radiation absorption coefficient and the weld thickness, the radiation detection of the weld requires an appropriate exposure to obtain a clear image. If the exposure is insufficient, the image may be too dark and the defects cannot be fully displayed; if the exposure is too high, the image may be overexposed, affecting the recognition of details. By calculating the appropriate exposure and transmission time, the quality of the weld image can be ensured, inappropriate exposure conditions can be avoided, and appropriate image brightness and contrast can be obtained. While ensuring the image quality, the recognition of defects can be improved, and image quality problems caused by insufficient or excessive exposure can be avoided, thereby improving the quality of the weld image. The accuracy of detection can be improved by considering the radiation absorption coefficient, thickness and initial intensity of the radiation source of the weld to accurately calculate the required radiation transmission time. By controlling the radiation transmission time, image blur or distortion can be avoided, thereby enhancing the accuracy of defect detection, especially for the detection of more complex weld structures and small-sized defects. In traditional radiographic detection, the exposure time often depends on manual settings and may be affected by factors such as the environment and operator experience. By relying on accurate mathematical calculations to determine the exposure amount and transmission time, the deviation of human operation is reduced, the accuracy and consistency of detection are improved, and the inconsistent exposure settings caused by different operator experience or environmental factors are avoided, thereby ensuring the objectivity and reliability of weld quality judgment. The material, thickness and radiation absorption coefficient of the weld are important factors affecting the radiation transmission time. By obtaining these parameters, the exposure and transmission time can be automatically adjusted according to the specific characteristics of the weld, ensuring the best imaging effect in various materials and thicknesses, adapting to the characteristics of different welds, and improving the detection capabilities of different weld structures. For complex welding structures or welds with thicker thicknesses, by accurately calculating the exposure conditions, it can be ensured that the image is clear and defects are easy to identify, avoiding missed detection or false detection due to improper settings. By calculating the appropriate exposure and transmission time in advance, it is possible to avoid multiple adjustments to the exposure parameters during the detection process, so that the detection process can be more efficient and the time and cost of readjustment or re-exposure due to inappropriate exposure are reduced.

[0069] Furthermore, the step of obtaining corresponding defect features according to each defect type in step S15, and obtaining weld quality according to multiple defect features, includes:

[0070] S151, obtaining defect features of each defect type, wherein the defect features include defect size features, defect shape features, and defect surface quality features;

[0071] S152, obtaining the defect area according to the defect size characteristics;

[0072] S153, obtaining a defect aspect ratio and a defect roundness according to the defect shape characteristics;

[0073] S154, obtaining defect edge roughness and defect depth according to the defect surface quality characteristics;

[0074] S155. Calculate the defect severity value of the corresponding defect type based on each of the defect area, defect aspect ratio, defect roundness, defect edge roughness, and defect depth, wherein the calculation formula is:

[0075] ;

[0076] in, Indicates the defect degree value, represents the defect area, represents the defect aspect ratio, Indicates the defect roundness, represents the defect edge roughness, Indicates the depth of the defect;

[0077] S156. Obtain a defect weight for each defect degree value, and calculate the weld quality based on the multiple defect degree values ​​and the corresponding defect weights, wherein the calculation formula is:

[0078] ;

[0079] in, Indicates the quality of the weld. Indicates the Defect weights, Indicates the Defect level value, The serial number indicating the defect degree value, Indicates the number of defect degree values.

[0080] As described in the above steps S11-S16, in the present invention, the defect size characteristics, defect shape characteristics and defect surface quality characteristics are obtained from the defect characteristics of each defect type, the defect area is obtained according to the defect size characteristics, the defect aspect ratio and defect roundness are obtained according to the defect shape characteristics, the defect edge roughness and defect depth are obtained according to the defect surface quality characteristics, and the defect degree value of the corresponding defect type is calculated according to each of the defect area, defect aspect ratio, defect roundness, defect edge roughness and defect depth. By measuring the area of ​​the defect, its impact on the overall strength and stability of the weld can be evaluated. A defect with a larger area may mean that the weld has a more serious quality problem, which may lead to a reduction in the structural bearing capacity or a weld fracture. The aspect ratio can reveal the morphological characteristics of the defect. Long strip defects and circular defects may have different effects on the weld. For example, long strip defects may lead to stress concentration, while circular defects may be considered as relatively uniform defects under certain conditions. The roundness feature helps to further judge the nature of the defect. Circular defects are usually simpler, while irregular shapes may be more complex and have a greater impact. Edge roughness and depth can further reflect the severity and potential impact of the defect. For example, a larger defect depth may mean structural damage to the weld, while rough edges may aggravate stress concentration, thereby affecting the fatigue resistance of the weld. Through these multi-dimensional feature analyses, a more comprehensive and accurate assessment of defects in the weld can be made, thereby avoiding the errors or one-sidedness caused by a single indicator. Traditional weld defect assessment often relies on manual visual inspection or experience judgment, and is easily affected by the inspector's The influence of factors such as vision and experience; this method can greatly improve the detection efficiency and accuracy by automatically calculating the specific indicators of defects, and can more accurately determine the impact of different defects on the quality of welds by calculating the degree values ​​of defects. The present invention obtains the defect weight of each defect degree value, and calculates the weld quality according to multiple defect degree values ​​and corresponding defect weights. By assigning a weight value to each defect, it can more accurately quantify the severity of various defects in the weld, and calculate whether the weld meets the requirements of standards and specifications. This calculation method can help automatically determine whether the weld meets the quality standards, reduce human errors, improve consistency and standardization, ensure the quality stability of the weld, ensure that the weld quality meets the requirements of standards and specifications, and ultimately improve the quality and safety of welding products.
