Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of parallel steel wire rope broken wire defect detection, and in particular to a magnetostrictive torsional guided wave detection system and method for parallel steel wire rope broken wire defects. Background Art

[0002] Parallel steel cables are one of the main load-bearing components of long-span bridges. At present, the commonly used parallel steel cable detection method in my country is the manual detection method. The disadvantages of this method are high labor costs, the need to detect each parallel steel cable in the entire bridge, and the possibility of causing secondary damage to the steel cables.

[0003] Based on the characteristics of long transmission distance and wide transmission range of guided wave, magnetostrictive guided wave uses magnetic-acoustic transduction mechanism. During detection, the whole process of detection can be completed by placing sensors on the components. It has the advantages of convenient operation and simple method. Therefore, compared with the traditional manual detection method, the magnetostrictive guided wave detection method effectively reduces the labor cost and will not cause secondary damage to the components, and has good application prospects.

[0004] At present, relevant domestic technical personnel have carried out relevant research in the field of magnetostrictive guided wave non-destructive testing. For example, patent document CN108051502A discloses a method for detecting fatigue damage of cables, including a magnetostrictive guided wave excitation sensor and a magnetostrictive guided wave receiving sensor. The detection method can detect the fatigue damage of the cable according to the energy conversion efficiency curve of the receiving process obtained, and analyze the fatigue state of the cable by extracting the time domain signal. The defects of parallel steel wire ropes include broken wires, rust, and relaxation. In addition to broken wire defects, the guided wave echo signal obtained by the magnetostrictive guided wave detection method also contains echo data of non-broken wire defects such as rust and relaxation of the steel wire rope. These echo signals appear on the waveform diagram at the same time and cannot be distinguished by the waveform shape, which brings difficulties to the identification of broken wire defects of parallel steel wire ropes. It is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently to discover and identify broken wire defects of parallel steel wire ropes.

[0061] Compared with the traditional manual detection method, the present invention avoids secondary damage to the parallel steel wire rope 5 structure through a non-destructive detection method, ensures the integrity of the parallel steel wire rope 5 structure, improves the work efficiency of the detection personnel, effectively reduces the human resources and time costs required in the detection process, and has good benefits.

[0062] The present invention can provide effective protection for the operational safety of the in-service parallel steel wire cables 5 , provide accurate data support for the maintenance and replacement of the parallel steel wire cables 5 , and avoid the serious consequences of bridge collapse caused by the broken wire defects 6 of the parallel steel wire cables 5 .

[0063] Combination Figure 1-3 The present invention provides a detection method of a magnetostrictive torsional guided wave detection system for a broken wire defect of a parallel steel wire rope, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0064] S1, the portable control terminal 1 accepts the working parameters set by the user, and transmits the working parameters set by the user to the torsional waveguide control device 2. The working parameters set in the portable control terminal 1 include the number of sinusoidal waveform signal pulses and the diameter of the parallel steel wire rope 5.

[0065] S2, the central processing module of the torsional waveguide control device 2 obtains the excitation frequency and propagation speed of the torsional waveguide from the dispersion curve database of the parallel steel wire rope 5 according to the number of sinusoidal waveform signal pulses and the diameter of the parallel steel wire rope 5 in the user-set working parameters, converts the excitation frequency of the torsional waveguide into a frequency selection signal and sends it to the waveguide excitation module. The waveguide excitation module generates an excitation signal of a corresponding frequency according to the frequency selection signal; the sensor connection module distributes the excitation signal generated by the waveguide excitation module to the torsional waveguide excitation sensor 3 according to the electrical signal.

[0066] S3, the torsional waveguide excitation sensor 3 excites the torsional waveguide on the parallel steel wire rope 5 to detect the parallel steel wire rope 5. The torsional waveguide propagates on the parallel steel wire rope 5 and generates a torsional waveguide echo signal, which is received by the torsional waveguide receiving sensor 4 and transmitted to the waveguide receiving module via the sensor connection module of the torsional waveguide control device 2. The torsional waveguide echo signal is transmitted to the central processing module of the torsional waveguide control device 2 after undergoing the digital steps of amplification and filtering in the waveguide receiving module.

[0067] S4, the central processing module performs waveguide signal data processing on the digitized torsional waveguide echo signal obtained in step S3 after amplification and filtering steps and the torsional waveguide excitation signal sent in step S2.

[0068] S5, performing amplitude difference calculation on the torsional waveguide echo signal and the torsional waveguide excitation signal after data processing to obtain the amplitude difference between the two signals.

[0069] S6, judging whether the torsional waveguide echo signal obtained by the torsional waveguide receiving sensor 4 is the broken wire defect echo signal 8 of the parallel steel wire rope 5. When the amplitude difference between the torsional waveguide echo signal and the torsional waveguide excitation signal is greater than or equal to 1, it means that the torsional waveguide echo signal belongs to the broken wire defect echo signal 8 of the parallel steel wire rope 5; when the amplitude difference between the torsional waveguide echo signal and the torsional waveguide excitation signal is less than 1, it means that the torsional waveguide echo signal belongs to the non-broken wire defect echo signal 9.

[0070] S7, based on the determination in step S6 that the torsional guided wave echo signal obtained is a broken wire defect echo signal 8, the number of broken wire defects 6 is counted. The time difference between the torsional guided wave excitation signal and the received broken wire defect echo signal 8 during the detection process is multiplied by the propagation speed of the torsional guided wave to obtain the distance from the broken wire defect 6 to the excitation sensor arrangement point and the receiving sensor arrangement point, and locate the specific position of the broken wire defect 6 on the parallel steel wire rope 5.

[0071] S8, displaying the number of broken wire defects 6 of the parallel steel wire rope 5 obtained in step S7 and the specific positions of the broken wire defects 6 on the portable control terminal 1.

[0072] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a portable control terminal 1, a torsional waveguide control device 2, a torsional waveguide excitation sensor 3 and a torsional waveguide receiving sensor 4 are included. The portable control terminal 1 is connected to the torsional waveguide control device 2, the torsional waveguide control device 2 is connected to the torsional waveguide excitation sensor 3 and the torsional waveguide receiving sensor 4, and the torsional waveguide excitation sensor 3 and the torsional waveguide receiving sensor 4 are respectively installed on the surface of the parallel steel wire 5 at intervals.

[0073] First, the torsional waveguide excitation sensor 3 and the torsional waveguide receiving sensor 4 are respectively arranged on the parallel steel wire rope 5; the torsional waveguide control device 2 and the portable control terminal 1 are mutually connected through a cable; the torsional waveguide excitation sensor 3 and the torsional waveguide receiving sensor 4 are respectively mutually connected with the torsional waveguide control device 2 through a cable.

[0074] The user inputs working parameters on the portable control terminal 1, and the input working parameters include the number of sinusoidal waveform signal pulses and the diameter of the parallel steel wire rope 5. The portable control terminal 1 transmits the number of sinusoidal waveform signal pulses and the diameter parameters of the parallel steel wire rope 5 input by the user to the central processing module of the torsional waveguide control device 2.

[0075] The central processing module of the torsional waveguide control device 2 matches the pre-stored dispersion curve of the parallel steel wire rope 5 in the module according to the number of sinusoidal waveform signal pulses and the diameter of the parallel steel wire rope 5, and matches the corresponding torsional waveguide excitation frequency and waveguide propagation speed. The central processing module generates a corresponding frequency selection signal according to the torsional waveguide excitation frequency and transmits it to the waveguide excitation module.

[0076] The waveguide excitation module generates a waveguide excitation signal according to the frequency selection signal transmitted by the central processing module and transmits it to the sensor connection module. The sensor connection module transmits the waveguide excitation signal transmitted by the waveguide excitation module to the connected torsion waveguide excitation sensor 3 through a synchronous pulse. At the same time, the sensor connection module generates a pulse electrical signal and establishes a sensor management network with the torsion waveguide excitation sensor 3 and the torsion waveguide receiving sensor 4 to ensure that the torsion waveguide excitation sensor 3 is in the state of exciting the waveguide and the torsion waveguide receiving sensor 4 is in the normal working state of receiving the waveguide.

[0077] The torsional waveguide excitation sensor 3 generates torsional waveguides in the parallel steel wire rope 5, and generates torsional waveguide echo signals after encountering broken wire defects 6 and non-broken wire defects 7. After receiving the torsional waveguide echo signals, the torsional waveguide receiving sensor 4 transmits them to the waveguide receiving module through the sensor connection module of the torsional waveguide control device 2, and undergoes digital processing processes such as amplification and filtering in the waveguide receiving module. The digitally processed signals are then transmitted to the central processing module.

[0078] The central processing module processes the torsional waveguide echo signal and the torsional waveguide excitation signal, calculates the amplitude difference between the torsional waveguide echo signal and the torsional waveguide excitation signal, and discriminates the torsional waveguide echo signal according to the calculation result. If the amplitude difference between the torsional waveguide excitation signal and the torsional waveguide echo signal is greater than or equal to 1, it means that the torsional waveguide echo signal is a broken wire defect echo signal 8; if the amplitude difference between the torsional waveguide excitation signal and the torsional waveguide echo signal is less than 1, it means that the torsional waveguide echo signal is a non-broken wire defect echo signal 9. Among them, the broken wire defect echo signal 8 is an echo signal with a broken wire area greater than or equal to 5% of the cross-sectional area of ​​the parallel steel wire rope 5.

[0079] On the basis of judging that the torsional waveguide echo signal is the broken wire defect echo signal 8, the central processing module counts the number of broken wire defect echo signals 8 that meet the conditions, multiplies the time difference between the torsional waveguide excitation signal and the received broken wire defect echo signal 8 during the detection process by the propagation speed of the torsional waveguide, and obtains the distance from the broken wire defect 6 to the arrangement point of the torsional waveguide excitation sensor 3 and the arrangement point of the torsional waveguide receiving sensor 4, thereby locating the specific position of the broken wire defect 6 in the parallel steel wire rope 5.

[0080] Finally, the central processing module of the torsional waveguide control device 2 transmits the number of broken wire defects 6 in the parallel steel wire rope 5 and the specific location information of the broken wire defects 6 to the display screen of the portable control terminal 1.

[0081] The embodiments described above are only descriptions of the preferred modes of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should all fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
