Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of industrial automation ultrasonic detection, in particular to the technical field of a method and system for ultrasonic profiling of a water-immersed fully-focused special-shaped structure based on lifting path calibration. Background Art

[0002] In the field of industrial automation ultrasonic testing, the water immersion coupling method has excellent acoustic coupling ability, is less affected by clutter, is more applicable to workpieces of different shapes and sizes, and has the outstanding advantage of simple operation process, which makes this coupling method widely used in industrial testing. At present, the automated scanning technology commonly used for standard parts cannot adapt to the complex contours of non-standard parts autonomously, and still relies on CAD drawings and pre-set paths for the mechanical coordinate system. In theory, the above method can provide an effective detection path for standard parts, but in practical applications, the application of this method is limited by the geometric deviations and installation errors of non-standard parts.

[0003] These challenges mainly stem from two core issues: the installation error of the workpiece at the inspection station, and the complex scanning surface of the workpiece itself. Installation errors are usually caused by the unevenness of the supporting tooling or the matching error between the workpiece and the tooling, resulting in a deviation between the actual position of the workpiece and the expected position. In addition, the complex scanning surface of the workpiece, such as variable curves, irregular contours, and local features, further increases the complexity of inspection path planning. The preset path cannot flexibly adapt to the complexity of the actual workpiece and the slight changes during the installation process, which may lead to omissions or uneven coverage of key areas during the inspection process, thus affecting the accuracy and reliability of the inspection. In view of the above problems, there is an urgent need for an immersion ultrasonic inspection system that can adapt to the installation errors and complex scanning surfaces in the inspection of non-standard parts, so as to provide an efficient and accurate non-destructive inspection method for evaluating the internal quality of special-shaped workpieces.
