[0002] Sheet materials are often processed into a variety of thin structural components and are widely used in many fields. During the rapid production of these structural components, defects such as bubbles, cracks, and various non-metallic inclusions are prone to occur within the sheet materials. Even the smallest defects can seriously affect product quality and performance.

[0003] Currently, defect detection for thin sheet materials mostly relies on magnetic flux leakage testing (MFL). However, this method is significantly affected by interference signals in the environment and is limited by the metallic properties of the sheet material, resulting in a high false alarm rate.

[0038] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0039] The following describes a method and system for quantifying defect sizes of thin plate materials and detecting motion conditions during rapid motion according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for quantifying defect sizes of thin plate materials during rapid motion and detecting motion conditions, so as to accurately quantify defect sizes and accurately detect motion conditions during the rapid motion process of thin plate material production.

[0041] Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a method for quantifying defect sizes of thin plate materials and detecting motion conditions during rapid motion provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for quantifying defect sizes of thin plate materials and detecting motion conditions during rapid motion includes the following steps:

[0043] Step S101 , obtaining two-axis motion-induced eddy current signals of defects in a test sheet material at different motion speeds, different lift-off distances, and different defect sizes, wherein the two-axis motion-induced eddy current signals include a parallel motion-induced eddy current signal and a vertical motion-induced eddy current signal.

[0044] In step S101, finite element software modeling simulation or actual measurement can be used to subject experimental thin plate materials with different defect sizes to different movement speeds and different lifting distances to obtain two-axis motion-induced eddy current signals of defects in experimental thin plate materials with different defect sizes at different movement speeds and different lifting distances.

[0045] For example, through actual measurements, we obtained the parallel and vertical motion-induced eddy current signals for through-hole defects of 100μm, 200μm, 300μm, 400μm, 500μm, 700μm, and 800μm on 0.1mm thick copper foil at a motion speed of 15m / s and a lift-off distance of 0.5mm. By resetting the motion speed and lift-off distance, we obtained a set of two-axis motion-induced eddy current signals for through-hole defects of 100μm, 200μm, 300μm, 400μm, 500μm, 700μm, and 800μm on 0.1mm thick copper foil at different motion speeds and lift-off distances.

[0046] For easy understanding, the movement speed in step S101 refers to the movement speed of the thin plate material. The lift-off distance refers to the distance between the thin plate material and the probe. The defect size includes the defect length, defect width, and defect depth of the thin plate material.

[0047] In step S101, the two-axis kinematic eddy current signals include a parallel kinematic eddy current signal and a perpendicular kinematic eddy current signal. The parallel kinematic eddy current signal is the parallel component, which refers to the direction of motion of the sheet material. The perpendicular kinematic eddy current signal is the perpendicular component, which refers to the direction perpendicular to the sheet material.

[0048] In step S102, feature extraction is performed on the parallel motion-induced eddy current signal and the vertical motion-induced eddy current signal to obtain a plurality of parallel feature parameters and a plurality of vertical feature parameters, and a sample data set is constructed based on the plurality of parallel feature parameters and the plurality of vertical feature parameters, as well as the corresponding motion speed, lifting distance and defect size.

[0049] In step S102, a variety of parallel characteristic parameters include but are not limited to the amplitude Up, peak-to-peak value Up-p, pulse width Dv-v, signal area Sa, signal energy E, pulse skewness I obtained by fast Fourier transform, and ratio of signal area to signal peak-to-peak value extracted from the parallel motion eddy current signal. Ratio of signal area to pulse width

[0050] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a parallel motion-induced eddy current signal provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The parallel motion eddy current signal generated by the defect of the experimental sheet material is shown in FIG. Figure 2 Only some types of characteristic parameters are shown, for example, Up is the amplitude, Up-p is the peak-to-peak value, Dv-v is the pulse width, and Sa is the signal area.

[0051] In step S102, a variety of vertical characteristic parameters include but are not limited to the amplitude Up, peak-to-peak value Up-p, pulse width Dv-v, signal area Sa, signal energy E, pulse skewness I obtained by fast Fourier transform, and the ratio of signal area to signal peak-to-peak value extracted from the vertical motional eddy current signal. Ratio of signal area to pulse width

[0052] The amplitude is the difference between the peak value of the defect signal (i.e., the parallel motion eddy current signal or the vertical motion eddy current signal) and the baseline. The coordinate when the voltage is zero is taken as the baseline. The calculation formula is:

[0053] U p =min{p i}, i=0,1,2,…,N

[0054] Where N is the number of peaks. i is the i-th peak.

[0055] The peak-to-peak value is the absolute value of the difference between the larger peak value and the valley value of the defect signal. The calculation formula is:

[0056] U p-p =|max{p i}-min{p i}|

[0057] The pulse width is the time interval between the larger peak and the smaller peak in the defect signal in the time domain (it can also be the number of sampling points). The data point numbers at the larger peak and the smaller peak are m and n respectively, and the calculation formula is:

[0058] D v-v =|mn|

[0059] The calculation formula for the signal area is:

[0060]

[0061] The calculation formula of signal energy is:

[0062]

[0063] Where, Mean{p i} is the peak mean.

[0064] The calculation formula for pulse skewness is:

[0065]

[0066] Among them, μ tran is the average pulse amplitude obtained by fast Fourier transform. pTi represents the i-th frequency component after fast Fourier transform; M represents the total number of frequency components.

[0067] The formula for calculating the ratio of signal area to signal peak-to-peak value is:

[0068]

[0069] The ratio of signal area to pulse width is calculated as:

[0070]

[0071] Where, T s is the sampling period.

[0072] In step S102 , a sample data set is constructed based on a plurality of parallel characteristic parameters and a plurality of vertical characteristic parameters, as well as corresponding movement speeds, lift-off distances, and defect sizes.

[0073] Specifically, the sample dataset constructed in step S102 of this embodiment includes a first sample dataset and a second sample dataset. The first sample dataset includes multiple parallel feature parameters, as well as corresponding motion speeds, lift-off distances, and defect sizes. The multiple parallel feature parameters in the first sample dataset serve as input data for model training. The second sample dataset includes multiple vertical feature parameters, as well as corresponding motion speeds, lift-off distances, and defect sizes. The multiple vertical feature parameters in the second sample dataset serve as input data for model training.

[0074] In some embodiments, the first sample dataset includes a first quantized sample dataset and a first inspection sample dataset. The first quantized sample dataset includes multiple parallel feature parameters and corresponding defect sizes. The first inspection sample dataset includes multiple parallel feature parameters and corresponding motion speeds and lift-off distances. The second sample dataset includes a second quantized sample dataset and a second inspection sample dataset. The second quantized sample dataset includes multiple vertical feature parameters and corresponding defect sizes.

[0076] In step S103, the parallel feature parameter input module is used to input a plurality of parallel feature parameters. The first quantitative detection module is used to process and analyze the plurality of parallel feature parameters to obtain corresponding movement speeds, lift-off distances, and defect sizes. The vertical feature parameter input module is used to input a plurality of vertical feature parameters. The second quantitative detection module is used to process and analyze the plurality of vertical feature parameters to obtain corresponding movement speeds, lift-off distances, and defect sizes. The fusion module is used to fuse the outputs of the first quantitative detection module and the second quantitative detection module to obtain the final movement speed, lift-off distance, and defect size. The output module is used to output the final movement speed, lift-off distance, and defect size.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first quantification detection module in step S103 includes a first defect quantification module and a first motion condition detection module, and the parallel characteristic parameter input module is connected to the fusion module via the first defect quantification module and the first motion condition detection module respectively; the second quantification detection module includes a second defect quantification module and a second motion condition detection module, and the vertical characteristic parameter input module is connected to the fusion module via the second defect quantification module and the second motion condition detection module respectively; the outputs of the first defect quantification module and the second defect quantification module both include defect size; the outputs of the first motion condition detection module and the second motion condition detection module both include motion speed and lift-off distance.

[0078] In some embodiments, the first defect quantization module and the second defect quantization module both use a convolutional network and a bidirectional long short-term memory neural network.

[0079] In some embodiments, the first motion condition detection module and the second motion condition detection module both use convolutional networks.

[0080] In some embodiments, the fusion module employs fully connected layers.

[0081] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a quantitative detection model provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, the parallel feature parameter input module is the first input layer, which is used to receive n types of parallel feature parameters, namely x1, x2, x3, ..., x n-2 、x n-1 、x n For example, when n is 8, the eight parallel characteristic parameters can be, for example, the amplitude Up, peak-to-peak value Up-p, pulse width Dv-v, signal area Sa, signal energy E, pulse skewness I obtained by fast Fourier transform, and the ratio of signal area to signal peak-to-peak value extracted from the parallel motion eddy current signal. Ratio of signal area to pulse width

[0082]

[0083] The first motion condition detection module is a first convolutional network, which can be a convolutional neural network (CNN). The input of the first convolutional network is connected to the first input layer. The output of the first convolutional network includes motion speed and liftoff distance.

Using CNN and BILSTM can fully explore the relationship between the temporal and spatial features of the input data and the defect size. The output of the first BILSTM layer is the defect size.

[0085] The vertical feature parameter input module is the second input layer, which is used to receive n types of vertical feature parameters, namely z1, z2, z3, ..., z n-2 、z n-1 、z n For example, when n is 8, the eight vertical characteristic parameters can be, for example, the amplitude Up, peak-to-peak value Up-p, pulse width Dv-v, signal area Sa, signal energy E, pulse skewness I obtained by fast Fourier transform, and the ratio of signal area to signal peak-to-peak value extracted from the vertical motional eddy current signal.

[0088] The fusion module uses a fully connected layer. It is connected to the output of the first convolutional network, the output of the first BILSTM layer, the output of the second BILSTM layer, and the output of the second convolutional network. The fully connected layer fuses the output of the first convolutional network with the output of the second convolutional network, and also fuses the output of the first BILSTM layer with the output of the second BILSTM layer, thereby obtaining the final motion speed, lift-off distance, and defect size.

[0089] The output layer is used to output the final motion speed, lift-off distance and defect size.

The first sample training set may be used to train the first quantization detection module, and the first sample test set may be used to test the first quantization detection module, thereby making the model results more accurate.
