Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of grounding grid corrosion detection, in particular to a grounding grid corrosion detection method. Background Art

[0002] The basic principle of transient electromagnetic method is to transmit electromagnetic pulse signals through the transmitting coil, and then measure the attenuation characteristics of the induced electromagnetic field in the formation through the receiving coil. Changes in the corrosion state of the grounding grid will lead to differences in the induced voltage, which in turn affects the size and attenuation rate of the induced magnetic field. By analyzing the time domain variation curve of the induced electromagnetic field, the corrosion degree and location of the grounding grid can be inferred. The attenuation process of the electromagnetic field is generally divided into early, middle and late stages. The early electromagnetic field contains more shallow detection information, which is suitable for detecting corrosion defects of the grounding grid.

[0003] However, this information is mainly contained in the secondary field induced by the underground grounding grid. The strong primary field response overwhelms the secondary field signal, reducing the accuracy of grounding grid corrosion detection. Existing methods for eliminating the primary field, such as the compensation structure coil, have limited receiving coil size, no effective receiving area, and loss of the receiving coil's bandwidth; the reverse series connection of the two transmitting coils of the anti-flux structure coil still severely weakens the primary field, resulting in insufficient transmitting magnetic moment and reduced detection sensitivity. Existing technologies make it difficult to maintain a high detection sensitivity while weakening the influence of the primary field, which seriously restricts the development of transient electromagnetic for grounding grid corrosion detection. Summary of the invention

[0030] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0031] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0032] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 3 , is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a grounding grid corrosion detection method, which can weaken the influence of the primary field without losing the effective receiving area, and also ensures a larger emission magnetic moment when there are corrosion defects.

[0035] Specifically, by arranging the transmitting coil and the receiving coil on the same plane, the position of the grounding grid is obtained and a measuring line parallel to the grounding flat steel is arranged;

[0036] A transient electromagnetic device is used to excite the transmitting coil so that the receiving coil collects the voltage signal;

[0037] Conduct preliminary analysis on the collected data to determine whether there are corrosion defects;

[0038] Draw the apparent resistivity profile based on the collected data to determine the location of the corrosion defect and the extent of corrosion.

[0039] It should be noted that the diameter of the transmitting coil is 1m, the diameter of the receiving coil is 0.5m, and the distance between the centers of each two coils is 1m. Figure 2 As shown, a grounding grid is laid, wherein a section of the grounding grid is composed of a flat steel grid of 8m×8m.

[0040] Furthermore, the transmitting coil refers to two identical transmitting coils arranged in series in opposite directions in the same plane, and the receiving coil refers to a receiving coil arranged at the midpoint of a line connecting the centers of the two coils.

[0041] Furthermore, the receiving coil is coplanar with the transmitting coil but has no crossing portion.

[0042] Furthermore, obtaining the location distribution of the grounding grid refers to obtaining the topological structure and specific location of the grounding grid according to the substation grounding grid design drawing.

[0043] Furthermore, the measuring line is parallel to the grounding flat steel, ensuring that the transmitting coil and the receiving coil can move along the direction of the grounding grid.

[0044] Furthermore, the transient electromagnetic device includes a transmitter, an acquisition module, an amplifying circuit, a filtering circuit, and a host computer.

[0045] Furthermore, a preliminary analysis method for the collected data is to extract the early signal of the induced voltage of the receiving coil based on the empirical value T, and obtain the maximum amplitude A of the signal. If A≥T, it is determined that there is a corrosion defect in the grounding grid section.

[0046] It should be noted that the measured induced voltage curve is as follows Figure 3 As shown, set the empirical value T = 5 × 10 -5 V, the maximum amplitude of the early induced voltage signal without defects is 9.55×10 -6 V, the maximum amplitude of the early induced voltage signal when there is a defect is 1.6×10 -4 V, can accurately identify defects based on the judgment criteria.

[0047] Furthermore, the method for drawing the apparent resistivity profile includes determining that the induced voltage signal V of the receiving coil where the corrosion defect is determined satisfies the following equation:

[0048]

[0049] Among them, t is time, a is the radius of the transmitting coil, erf is the error function, μ0 is the vacuum permeability, I is the emitted pulse current, and u is the transient field parameter, which corresponds to the apparent resistivity ρ as follows:

[0050]

[0051] Substitute the solved transient field parameter u into the above formula for calculation to obtain the curve of apparent resistivity ρ changing with time, that is, the apparent resistivity curve.

[0052] Furthermore, according to the resistivity curve, the calculation formula is as follows:

[0053]

[0054] Among them, ρ r is the apparent resistivity used for imaging, σ is the conductivity of the uniform half space, μ0 is the magnetic permeability of vacuum, t j and t i are two adjacent time points in the apparent resistivity curve, ρ j and ρ i is the corresponding apparent resistivity, t ji is the average of two time points, d j and d i is the depth d corresponding to the two time points, H r is the same as ρ rThe corresponding visual depth, 0.441 is the optimization coefficient.

[0055] Furthermore, the apparent resistivity profile is imaged according to the calculation results of the apparent resistivity and the apparent depth, and the corrosion position and the corrosion degree are determined according to the apparent resistivity profile.

[0056] It should be noted that if Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the horizontal axis represents time (in microseconds, μs), the vertical axis represents voltage (in volts, V), and the voltage value has been scaled to 10 -4 The solid line in the figure represents the induced voltage curve of the defective grounding grid, and the dotted line represents the induced voltage curve of the non-defective grounding grid.

[0057] Specifically, the initial response shown in the figure is that when the time is close to 0 μs, both curves show a sharp voltage peak, which is the voltage induced in the receiving coil by the transient electromagnetic field generated by the transmitting coil.

[0058] Among them, the early signal is between 0μs and 50μs, the defective ground grid (solid line) shows an obvious negative voltage, while the non-defective ground grid (dashed line) quickly returns to a level close to 0V. This shows that the defective ground grid exhibits different electromagnetic responses in the early signal.

[0059] The mid-term signal is between 50μs and 200μs, and both curves are relatively stable with the voltage close to 0V, which may indicate that during this period, the attenuation characteristics of the electromagnetic field are similar in the defective and non-defective grounding grids.

[0060] After 200μs, the defective grounding grid (solid line) again shows an obvious voltage drop, forming a negative spike, while the non-defective grounding grid (dashed line) remains at a level close to 0V. The negative spike is due to the abnormal attenuation of the electromagnetic field caused by the defect of the grounding grid.

[0061] By analyzing the signals according to the above description, it is possible to determine whether the grounding grid has corrosion defects by comparing the maximum amplitudes of the early signals of these curves. That is, if the amplitude of the early signal exceeds the threshold T set based on experience, it can be determined that the grounding grid section has corrosion defects.

[0062] In summary, the present invention effectively weakens the primary field interference, accurately detects the early secondary field signal, and improves the accuracy of grounding grid corrosion detection by arranging the transmitting coils connected in series in reverse on the same plane and the receiving coils at the midpoint. The three coils are coplanar and simple in structure, which ensures a large transmitting magnetic moment and high detection sensitivity. The corrosion location and degree can be accurately determined through the apparent resistivity profile, providing a scientific basis for grounding grid maintenance.
