Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of hydrogen cylinder detection, and in particular relates to a hydrogen storage bottle liner defect detection device. Background Art

[0002] As an important secondary energy source that has attracted much attention in the 21st century, hydrogen energy has significant advantages such as abundant resources, high combustion value, cleanliness and renewability. With the vigorous development of fuel cells and fuel cell vehicle technologies, safe and efficient hydrogen storage technology has become the core element for the widespread application of hydrogen energy. Therefore, the inner liner of the hydrogen storage bottle must be strictly tested for safety during the production process, especially the inner liner of the hydrogen storage bottle before the side bottle mouth is formed. Testing at this stage can detect potential defects as early as possible, and then take timely repair or scrapping measures for defective blanks, effectively avoiding more costs in subsequent processing links, and effectively reducing production costs. For example, the patent with authorization announcement number CN213302103U discloses a small longitudinal ultrasonic guided wave probe for hydrogen storage cylinder detection.

[0003] At present, when inspecting the defects of hydrogen storage bottle liner blanks, due to the extremely narrow internal space of the hydrogen storage bottle liner, the staff usually use ultrasonic probes to conduct comprehensive inspections on the outside of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blanks. However, due to the limitations of the inspection position and the interference of inspection errors, it is very easy to ignore the tiny defects on the inner wall of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blanks. These missed tiny defects will be further enlarged during the forming process of the hydrogen storage bottle liner, which will not only seriously affect the accuracy of the defect detection of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blanks, reduce the reliability of the use of the hydrogen storage bottle liner inspection equipment, but also very likely to bring serious safety hazards to the hydrogen storage bottle liner products; In addition, when using an ultrasonic probe to inspect the outer wall of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank, it is necessary to manually apply a coupling agent to ensure that the ultrasonic probe is in full contact with the surface of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank. However, the manual operation of applying a coupling agent to the entire outer wall of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank is extremely inconvenient, which not only reduces the convenience and efficiency of the hydrogen storage bottle liner inspection equipment in detecting defects in the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank, but also greatly increases the labor intensity of the staff.

[0014] Compared with the existing technology, the advantages of a hydrogen storage bottle liner defect detection device are: Through the detection mechanism, positioning mechanism, alarm and touch screen computer, when the inner wall defect detection of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank that has passed the outer wall detection is carried out before the bottle mouth is formed, the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank is first limited by the positioning mechanism and the support assembly, and the detection mechanism is located at the arc-shaped side end of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank, and then the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank is driven to rotate by the positioning mechanism, and the first electric push rod and the detection mechanism are cooperated to perform a comprehensive visual inspection of the inside of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank. After the CCD camera transmits the taken photos to the touch screen computer, the touch screen The computer will compare the photos.

[0015] Through the ultrasonic detection component that is set up, while the CCD camera performs a comprehensive visual inspection of the inside of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank, the ultrasonic detection probe performs ultrasonic detection on the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank through a porous silicone block that is in full contact with the inner wall of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank. The ultrasonic detector body can automatically analyze the data fed back by the ultrasonic detection probe. If defects are found during the inspection, the ultrasonic detector body will promptly feedback to the PLC controller. The PLC controller controls the alarm according to the defect electrical signal fed back by the ultrasonic detector body, reminding the staff that the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank has hidden defects and needs to be repaired or scrapped in time to avoid wasting time and cost in subsequent processing.

[0016] Through the coupling agent supply mechanism, during the operation of the ultrasonic detection probe, the PLC controller also controls the micro air pump to start for 5 seconds every 1 minute. During the 5 seconds, the coupling agent supply mechanism supplies coupling agent to the ultrasonic detection probe. On the one hand, the coupling agent can ensure that the ultrasonic detection probe is fully in contact with the porous silica gel block to avoid leaving gaps to interfere with ultrasonic propagation; on the other hand, the coupling agent will also be discharged from the circular hole channels on the edges of multiple porous silica gel blocks, so that the outer wall of the porous silica gel block and the inner wall of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank can also be fully in contact, eliminating the interference of the pores on the ultrasonic detection work.

The above-mentioned power-on devices and electrical connections are all existing technologies and will not be repeated here.

[0027] The operating principle of the present invention is now described as follows: when the inner wall defect detection of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank that has passed the outer wall detection is carried out before the bottle mouth is formed, the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank is first placed on the two support components 6. At this time, the multiple universal balls 62 in the arc plate 61 can support the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank and facilitate the rolling of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank. The side end of the opening of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank is located inside the transparent limit cover 54, and the rubber expansion ring 55 is located at the outer wall of the side end of the opening of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank. The detection mechanism 4 and the ultrasonic detection component 8 are placed on the inner wall of the arc-shaped side end of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank, and the porous silica gel block 86 is close to the inner wall of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank. Under the reverse push of the fixed frame 85 and the ultrasonic detection probe 84, the porous silica gel block 86 causes the T-shaped rod 82 to retract into the limit cylinder 81, and the positioning spring 83 is compressed to store energy and generate a rebound force; Subsequently, the micro air pump 74 and the three-way reversing solenoid valve 75 are controlled by the PLC controller 16 to be energized for 10 seconds. After the three-way reversing solenoid valve 75 is energized, the air guide direction is changed, so that the air sucked by the micro air pump 74 enters the air inlet pipe 58 through the top outlet of the three-way reversing solenoid valve 75, and the air in the air inlet pipe 58 enters the rubber expansion ring 55 through the hollow ring 51, the air outlet 57 and the conduit 56, so that the rubber expansion ring 55 expands and squeezes the side end outer wall of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank, so as to achieve the purpose of fixing the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank. After 10 seconds, the micro air pump 74 and the three-way reversing solenoid valve 75 are both powered off under the control of the PLC controller 16. After the three-way reversing solenoid valve 75 is powered off, the air guide direction returns to the initial state, and the air in the air inlet pipe 58 continues to remain stable. Next, with the assistance of the LED fill light source 21, the CCD camera 43 starts to take pictures of the inner wall of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank. The CCD camera 43 has an automatic focusing function to ensure that the taken pictures are clear. After the shooting is completed, the CCD camera 43 converts the photo data into an electrical signal and transmits it to the touch screen computer 20. The touch screen computer 20 is pre-installed with a program for comparing the photos taken by the CCD camera 43, and the program stores a variety of preset defective and unqualified photos. When the touch screen computer 20 receives the photos taken by the CCD camera 43, its internal comparison program will automatically perform a comparison. The specific principle is that the program uses an image recognition algorithm to extract and analyze the image features in the photos, and matches them with the features of the preset unqualified photos one by one. If the comparison result is inconsistent with all the preset defective unqualified photos, it indicates that the inner wall of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank is qualified at this time. On the contrary, if the comparison result coincides with at least one of the preset multiple defective unqualified photos, it indicates that there are appearance defects on the inner wall of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank. At this time, the touch screen computer 20 will send an unqualified electrical signal to the PLC controller 16. The PLC controller 16 controls the alarm 17 to alarm according to the received unqualified electrical signal, reminding the staff that the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank has defective hidden dangers and needs to be repaired or scrapped in time to avoid waste of time and cost caused by subsequent processing. At the same time, the PLC controller 16 controls the driving end of the driving motor 2 to rotate, and the driving motor 2 drives the transparent limit cover 54 to rotate slowly through the bevel gear 3 and the outer bevel gear ring 59; Specifically, the PLC controller 16 controls the rotation speed of the drive motor 2, and the number of teeth of the outer bevel gear ring 59 is much larger than the number of teeth of the bevel gear 3. The bevel gear 3 has a deceleration effect when transmitting to the outer bevel gear ring 59. This deceleration effect can reduce the rotation speed of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank, thereby ensuring that the inner wall of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank can be fully detected by the detection mechanism 4 and the ultrasonic detection component 8. In addition, the PLC controller 16 also controls the moving ends of the first electric push rod 10 and the second electric push rod 45 to move slowly. The moving end of the first electric push rod 10 drives the extension tube 13 to move slowly through the connecting bar 11, so that the extension tube 13 drives the detection mechanism 4 to move toward the transparent limit cover 54, thereby further ensuring the comprehensive detection of the inner wall of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank. The moving end of the second electric push rod 45 slowly pushes the moving rod 46 to move in the moving through hole 47. The moving rod 46 drives the extension block 49 to be lifted up through the pull rope 48. When the extension block 49 is lifted up, the bellows 42 and the elastic rubber rod 41 are bent. When the moving end of the second electric push rod 45 is fully extended, the CCD camera 43 is pulled up by the pull rope 48 and finally works in a vertical state. The time taken by the CCD camera 43 to be lifted from the horizontal state to the vertical state is consistent with the time taken by the CCD camera 43 to fully detect the arc portion of the side end of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank The time used for the inner wall is consistent, which can avoid the situation where the CCD camera 43 is erected too early and the inner wall detection of the arc-shaped part of the side end of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank is partially missed. This mechanism gives the hydrogen storage bottle liner detection equipment the function of automatic visual detection of defects, which can improve the accuracy of the inner wall defect detection results of the hydrogen storage bottle liner, timely discover the defects of the hydrogen storage bottle liner, and avoid the hydrogen storage bottle liner with defects from entering the subsequent processing links, thereby improving the reliability of the use of the hydrogen storage bottle liner detection equipment and avoiding serious safety hazards to the hydrogen storage bottle liner products. While the CCD camera 43 performs a comprehensive visual inspection of the interior of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank, the ultrasonic detection probe 84 performs ultrasonic detection on the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank through the porous silica gel block 86 that is in full contact with the inner wall of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank. The working principle of ultrasonic detection is that the ultrasonic detection probe 84 emits ultrasonic waves to the inner wall of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank. When the ultrasonic wave encounters defects in the inner wall, reflection, refraction and scattering will occur. The reflected ultrasonic signal is received by the ultrasonic detection probe 84, and the probe converts the received signal into an electrical signal and feeds it back to the ultrasonic detector body 88. The ultrasonic detector body 88 can automatically analyze the data fed back by the ultrasonic detection probe 84. The ultrasonic signal characteristic models under normal and defective states are preset inside. By comparing and analyzing the received signal with these models, it is determined whether there are defects. If defects are found during the inspection, the ultrasonic detector body 88 will promptly feedback to the PLC controller 16, and the PLC controller 16 will generate an electrical signal based on the feedback from the ultrasonic detector body 88. The defective electrical signal controls the alarm 17 to sound an alarm, reminding the staff that the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank has defective hidden dangers and needs to be repaired or scrapped in time to avoid wasting time and cost in subsequent processing. Moreover, when the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank is driven to rotate by the positioning mechanism 5, and the first electric push rod 10 drives the extension tube 13 to move through the connecting strip 11, the detection position of the ultrasonic detection probe 84 also changes accordingly. In the process of the CCD camera 43 being stretched and lifted, the ultrasonic detection probe 84 and the porous silica gel block 86 are always in full contact with the inner wall of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank under the action of the rebound force of the positioning spring 83, thereby ensuring the reliability of the detection work of the ultrasonic detection probe 84. The mechanism gives the hydrogen storage bottle liner detection equipment the function of automatic ultrasonic detection of defects, which can improve the accuracy of the inner wall defect detection results of the hydrogen storage bottle liner, timely discover the defects of the hydrogen storage bottle liner, and avoid the defective hydrogen storage bottle liner from entering the subsequent processing link, further improving the reliability of the use of the hydrogen storage bottle liner detection equipment, while avoiding serious safety hazards to the hydrogen storage bottle liner products.

[0028] In addition, during the operation of the ultrasonic detection probe 84, the PLC controller 16 also controls the micro air pump 74 to start for 5 seconds every 1 minute. During the 5 seconds, the micro air pump 74 draws air into the storage box 71, so that the air is filled to the top of the storage box 71. The filled air squeezes the coupling agent in the coupling agent layer 73 at the bottom of the storage box 71, so that the coupling agent enters the delivery pipe 87 and is transported to the fixed frame 85 along the delivery pipe 87. The role of the coupling agent is crucial. On the one hand, it can ensure that the ultrasonic detection probe 84 is in full contact with the porous silica gel block 86 to avoid gaps that interfere with ultrasonic propagation; on the other hand, the coupling agent will also be discharged from the circular hole channels on the edges of the multiple porous silica gel blocks 86, so that the outer wall of the porous silica gel block 86 can also be fully in contact with the inner wall of the hydrogen storage bottle liner blank, eliminating the interference of the pores on the ultrasonic detection work. As time goes by, 1 minute After that, the coupling agent at the porous silica gel block 86 is gradually consumed. At this time, the PLC controller 16 controls the micro air pump 74 to work for 5 seconds again. The coupling agent supplied within 5 seconds can continue to ensure the reliable operation of the porous silica gel block 86. Through this intermittent supply of coupling agent, it can not only avoid excessive use of coupling agent and achieve the purpose of saving, but also after the defect alarm occurs, according to the situation that the coupling agent is not continuously applied, it can be determined that the position where the coupling agent is interrupted inside the hydrogen storage bottle inner liner blank is the defect position, which is convenient for the staff to subsequently repair the internal defects of the hydrogen storage bottle inner liner blank. This mechanism enables the hydrogen storage bottle inner liner defect detection equipment to have the function of intermittent automatic application of coupling agent during the ultrasonic detection process, which not only reduces the labor intensity of the staff, but also improves the convenience and efficiency of ultrasonic detection of hydrogen storage bottle inner liner defects, while avoiding the waste caused by excessive use of coupling agent.
