Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aging detection, and in particular to a method, device and equipment for detecting the thermal aging state of insulating silicone rubber based on cable accessories. Background Art

[0002] With the high-quality development of the economy and society and the in-depth advancement of urbanization, power cables are gradually replacing overhead lines and becoming the main power supply method for urban power grids due to their low operation and maintenance costs and low operation failure rate. Cable accessories, as an important part of power cables, play a role of connection and transition in power transmission, and their reliability is the key to the safe operation of power systems. Silicone rubber is widely used as the main insulating material for cable accessories due to its excellent mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. During the actual operation of the cable, the temperature at the conductor of the intermediate cable accessories is much higher than the temperature at the conductor of the cable body, and long-term high temperature environment will accelerate the aging of silicone rubber, resulting in a decline in its various performances, and ultimately causing cable line operation failures.

[0003] At present, the evaluation methods for aging damage of silicone rubber insulation include sample analysis method and non-destructive testing method. Sample analysis method includes tensile test method, dielectric property test method, Fourier infrared spectroscopy test method, etc. The sample analysis method requires extracting some materials from the sample for analysis, which is a destructive test and will cause irreversible damage to the test sample. Non-destructive testing methods include ultrasonic testing technology, X-ray testing technology, etc. Among them, compared with other non-destructive testing methods that can be applied to non-metallic materials, ultrasonic testing technology is harmless to the human body and does not pollute the surface of the test sample. It is used in defect detection of electrical insulation materials to a certain extent.

[0004] Traditional ultrasonic nondestructive testing technology is mainly based on the principle of linear reflection and scattering when sound waves propagate in materials. Although traditional ultrasonic nondestructive testing technology can detect some defects, it can usually only detect linear defects in materials, such as cracks, delamination, etc. In addition, traditional ultrasonic nondestructive testing technology has high requirements on the surface state of the material. If there is roughness or oxide layer on the surface of the material, it may affect the propagation and reflection of ultrasonic waves, thereby affecting the accuracy of the test results. For specimens with complex shapes or irregular shapes, traditional ultrasonic nondestructive testing technology may encounter difficulties during detection, such as because the propagation path of the ultrasonic wave may be affected by the shape of the specimen, resulting in the inability to accurately obtain defect information.

[0042] This patent application term:

[0043] Commonly used coupling agents for ultrasonic flaw detection include the following:

[0044] Water: It is easy to obtain and cheap, and is suitable for situations where the requirements are not strict or for temporary emergencies. However, it has high fluidity, poor wetting properties, is easy to evaporate, and is prone to errors. It has requirements for the workpiece being tested, and some workpieces need to be rust-proofed after testing.

[0045] Engine oil: The most widely used coupling agent, usually No. 20 to No. 40 engine oil. Engine oil has strong viscosity, high wettability, and strong fluidity. It is harmless to the inspector's body and non-corrosive to the workpiece. However, it is sensitive to acoustic contact pressure, and temperature changes will affect its viscosity, which requires high operating skills of the operator.

[0046] Lubricating oil: including compressor lubricating oil, steam engine lubricating oil, industrial vaseline, butter, grease, etc. It is suitable for workpieces with rough surfaces and for overhead or vertical probes. The disadvantage is that it has poor fluidity, is easy to mix with impurities, and wears the workpiece and probe surface.

[0047] Glycerin: It has good sound transmission effect and is insensitive to acoustic contact pressure. It is suitable for workpieces with high surface finish. However, it is expensive and has strong water absorption. It is easy to change the concentration due to the absorption of moisture in the air, which affects the performance consistency. The workpiece to be tested needs to be cleaned in time to prevent rust.

[0048] Water glass (sodium silicate): It has good sound transmission effect and is relatively cheap. However, it has strong water absorption and its concentration changes easily due to the absorption of moisture in the air. It is necessary to test and adjust the concentration regularly to maintain the best coupling effect.

[0049] In addition, there are some high-performance coupling agent products, such as Ultragel II, Sonotrace, Echogel, UT-XPowder and Soundsafe, which are suitable for different detection needs and environmental conditions.

[0050] Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is an algorithm for efficiently calculating Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and its inverse transform. DFT is a mathematical operation that converts a complex sequence (usually discrete samples of a real signal) into another complex sequence, while FFT is a fast implementation of DFT. It uses the symmetry, periodicity and redundancy of DFT to reduce the computational complexity from O(N) to ^2) Reduced to O(NlogN).

[0051] Nonlinear ultrasonic testing equipment is an instrument that uses the nonlinear effect generated by the interaction between ultrasonic waves and material micro-defects to detect and evaluate material properties. It emits high-energy single-frequency ultrasonic waves, which interact with tiny defects (such as microcracks, pores, etc.) in the test piece to produce nonlinear effects, thereby realizing the detection of micro-defects and the evaluation of material properties. For example, the electromagnetic ultrasonic nonlinear tester is a special testing instrument used in the fields of material science, electronics and communication technology.

[0052] The embodiment of the present application provides a method, device and equipment for detecting the thermal aging state of insulating silicone rubber based on cable accessories, which solves the technical problem that the traditional ultrasonic nondestructive testing technology performs insulation aging damage tests on materials, and the ultrasonic wave is affected by the surface of the material, resulting in inaccurate detection results. The method, device and equipment for detecting the thermal aging state of insulating silicone rubber based on cable accessories obtains data through nonlinear ultrasonic detection technology, and utilizes the nonlinear effect generated by the interaction between the sound wave and the microstructure of the sample to be detected (such as silicone rubber insulating material) during the propagation process. By transmitting and receiving ultrasonic signals and processing them, the relative nonlinear coefficient of the ultrasonic wave is obtained, and the correlation model is constructed based on the fitting curve between the relative nonlinear coefficient and the degree of thermal aging. The thermal aging state of the sample to be detected can be detected and evaluated based on the relative nonlinear coefficient on the correlation model. The method, device and equipment for detecting the thermal aging state of insulating silicone rubber based on cable accessories are less restricted by the shape and surface state of the sample to be detected.

[0053] Embodiment 1:

[0054] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the steps of the method for detecting the thermal aging state of insulating silicone rubber based on cable accessories described in an embodiment of the present application.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for detecting the thermal aging state of insulating silicone rubber based on cable accessories, comprising the following steps:

[0056] S1. Obtain a correlation model between the relative nonlinear coefficient and the degree of thermal aging and the sample to be tested.

[0057] It should be noted that step S1 is to obtain a correlation model for evaluating the thermal aging state of the sample to be tested (such as silicone rubber insulation material); and to obtain the sample to be tested. In this embodiment, the correlation model obtained in step S1 and the sample to be tested provide a basis for subsequent steps. Among them, the sample to be tested can be the silicone rubber insulation material of the cable.

[0058] S2. Transmit ultrasonic waves to the sample to be tested for aging test, and obtain a time domain signal of an echo consisting of a reflected ultrasonic signal.

[0059] It should be noted that step S2 is to perform nonlinear ultrasonic testing on the sample to be tested, and obtain a time domain signal of a primary echo consisting of a detection reflected ultrasonic signal. In this embodiment, the thermal aging state detection method of insulating silicone rubber based on cable accessories uses a nonlinear ultrasonic testing device to transmit ultrasonic waves to the sample to be tested for aging testing, and obtains a time domain signal of a primary echo consisting of a reflected ultrasonic signal. Among them, the nonlinear ultrasonic testing device uses a pulse reflection method and transmits ultrasonic waves to the sample to be tested through a probe, and both the probe and the sample to be tested are coated with an ultrasonic flaw detection coupling agent.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, the nonlinear ultrasonic detection equipment mainly utilizes the high-order harmonic signals generated when ultrasonic waves interact with microscopic damage in the material to evaluate the degree of damage inside the material.

[0061] It should be noted that the pulse reflection method is a measurement method. The ultrasonic testing coupling agent is evenly applied between the probe and the sample to be tested to reduce the energy attenuation of the sound wave and the nonlinear effect introduced by the air gap at the coupling point. The nonlinear ultrasonic detection equipment uses the pulse reflection method to transmit ultrasonic waves to the sample to be tested, and the nonlinear ultrasonic detection equipment receives the reflected ultrasonic signal to obtain a single echo time domain signal. In this embodiment, in order to reduce the detection error, the nonlinear ultrasonic detection equipment uses the pulse reflection method to transmit ultrasonic waves close to the center of the sample to be tested.

[0062] S3. Process the time domain signal of the primary echo to obtain a spectrum diagram including a fundamental frequency band and a second harmonic frequency band, and extract the fundamental amplitude and the second harmonic amplitude from the spectrum diagram.

[0063] It should be noted that in step S3, the first echo time domain signal obtained in step S2 is processed to obtain a corresponding spectrum diagram, and the fundamental wave amplitude and the second harmonic amplitude are extracted from the spectrum diagram. In this embodiment, the insulating silicone rubber thermal aging state detection method based on cable accessories processes the first echo time domain signal using fast Fourier transform to obtain a spectrum diagram containing a fundamental wave frequency band and a second harmonic frequency band.

[0064] S4. Calculate the relative nonlinear coefficient based on the fundamental wave amplitude and the second harmonic amplitude.

[0065] It should be noted that step S4 is to calculate the relative nonlinear coefficient β' of the sample to be tested based on the fundamental amplitude A1 and the second harmonic amplitude A2 obtained in step S3. In this embodiment, the thermal aging state detection method of insulating silicone rubber based on cable accessories characterizes the thermal aging state of the sample to be tested by the relative nonlinear coefficient. Compared with the traditional nondestructive testing technology for the thermal aging state of insulating silicone rubber for cable accessories, the thermal aging state detection method of insulating silicone rubber based on cable accessories is less restricted by the shape, appearance and surface state of the sample to be tested, and can be widely used in thermal aging state detection of different types of samples to be tested (such as insulating silicone rubber for cable accessories).

[0066] S5. Input the relative nonlinear coefficient into the correlation model for analysis to obtain the degree of thermal aging corresponding to the sample to be tested.

[0067] It should be noted that, in step S5, the relative nonlinear coefficient obtained in step S4 is input into the correlation model to evaluate the thermal aging state of the sample to be tested. The thermal aging degree is used to evaluate the thermal aging state of the sample to be tested. In this embodiment, for the same sample to be tested (such as silicone rubber insulation material), the larger the relative nonlinear coefficient β' is, the deeper the thermal aging degree of the sample to be tested (such as silicone rubber insulation material) is.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present application, before the relative nonlinear coefficient is input into the correlation model, the insulating silicone rubber thermal aging state detection method based on cable accessories includes: normalizing the relative nonlinear coefficient to obtain coefficient fitting data.

[0069] It should be noted that the relative nonlinear coefficient can be obtained by performing nonlinear ultrasonic testing on the sample to be tested using the insulation silicone rubber thermal aging state detection method based on cable accessories. The thermal aging state of the sample to be tested can be evaluated by substituting the coefficient fitting data of the normalized relative nonlinear coefficient into the corresponding fitting curve.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, the insulating silicone rubber thermal aging state detection method based on cable accessories transmits and receives ultrasonic waves to the sample to be detected by a nonlinear ultrasonic detection device to obtain a time-domain echo signal, and the relative nonlinear coefficient of the ultrasonic wave is obtained by processing the time-domain echo signal, and the relative nonlinear coefficient is input into the correlation model to analyze and evaluate the degree of thermal aging of the thermal aging state of the sample to be detected. The insulating silicone rubber thermal aging state detection method based on cable accessories can sensitively and accurately capture the microstructural changes caused by thermal aging of the sample to be detected, thereby achieving an accurate evaluation of the thermal aging state.

[0071] The present application provides a method for detecting the thermal aging state of insulating silicone rubber based on cable accessories, comprising obtaining a correlation model between a relative nonlinear coefficient and a degree of thermal aging and a sample to be detected; transmitting ultrasonic waves to the sample to be detected for aging test, and obtaining a first echo time domain signal composed of a reflected ultrasonic wave signal; processing the first echo time domain signal to obtain a spectrum diagram including a fundamental frequency band and a second harmonic frequency band, and extracting the fundamental amplitude and the second harmonic amplitude from the spectrum diagram; calculating according to the fundamental amplitude and the second harmonic amplitude to obtain a relative nonlinear coefficient; inputting the relative nonlinear coefficient into the correlation model for analysis to obtain the degree of thermal aging corresponding to the sample to be detected. The thermal aging state detection method of insulating silicone rubber based on cable accessories obtains a time-domain echo signal by transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves to the sample to be detected, and then processes the time-domain echo signal to obtain a relative nonlinear coefficient of the ultrasonic wave. The relative nonlinear coefficient is input into a correlation model to analyze and evaluate the degree of thermal aging of the sample to be detected to identify the thermal aging state. The method can sensitively and accurately capture the microstructural changes of the sample to be detected caused by thermal aging, thereby achieving an accurate evaluation of the thermal aging state. The method solves the technical problem of inaccurate detection results caused by the influence of the material surface on the insulation aging damage test of the material by the traditional ultrasonic nondestructive testing technology.

[0072] In one embodiment of the present application, obtaining the relative nonlinear coefficient according to the fundamental wave amplitude and the second harmonic amplitude includes: calculating the fundamental wave amplitude to obtain first data; and calculating the second harmonic amplitude and the first data to obtain the relative nonlinear coefficient.

[0073] It should be noted that the thermal aging state detection method of insulating silicone rubber based on cable accessories can calculate the relative nonlinear coefficient using the coefficient calculation formula according to the fundamental wave amplitude and the second harmonic amplitude. The coefficient calculation formula is:

[0074]

[0075] In the formula, A1 2 is the first data.

[0076] In an embodiment of the present application, the step of obtaining a coefficient calculation formula of the insulating silicone rubber thermal aging state detection method based on cable accessories includes:

[0077] A. When large-amplitude ultrasonic waves are used for detection, the nonlinear stress-strain constitutive relationship of the solid medium is used for description. The nonlinear stress-strain constitutive relationship is: , where is stress, E is the elastic modulus of the material (a physical quantity describing the stiffness of the material), ε is the strain (the relative change in length of the material after being subjected to force), and β is the second-order nonlinear coefficient of the degree of nonlinear effect;

[0078] B. A one-dimensional longitudinal wave propagates along the x direction in a solid medium, and its operating equation is:

[0079]

[0080] Where ρ is the material density, u is the displacement of the particle in the x direction, t is the propagation time, and x is the propagation distance of the sound wave.

[0081] C. According to the nonlinear stress-strain constitutive relationship and the operating equation, the wave equation of the longitudinal wave is obtained:

[0082]

[0083] D. Using the perturbation method, a series of single-frequency sinusoidal ultrasonic longitudinal waves with amplitude A1, angular frequency ω, and wave number k enter the solid medium, and the expression of the second-order nonlinear coefficient is obtained. The expression of the second-order nonlinear coefficient is:

[0084]

[0085] Where A1 and A2 are the amplitude of the fundamental wave and the amplitude of the second harmonic respectively.

[0086] E. From the expression of the second-order nonlinear coefficient, it can be seen that, without changing the wave number k and the sound wave propagation distance x, β is only related to the fundamental wave amplitude and the second harmonic amplitude. Therefore, according to the expression of the second-order nonlinear coefficient, the coefficient calculation formula for calculating the relative nonlinear coefficient β' is obtained.

[0087] It should be noted that by measuring the amplitude of the fundamental wave and the second harmonic amplitude, the degree of nonlinear effect of the material sample to be tested can be characterized, reflecting the microstructural changes inside the material, thereby evaluating the thermal aging damage of the material.

[0088] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of a fitting curve in the method for detecting the thermal aging state of insulating silicone rubber based on cable accessories described in an embodiment of the present application.

[0089] In one embodiment of the present application, obtaining a correlation model between the relative nonlinear coefficient and the degree of thermal aging includes:

[0090] Obtain specimens with different degrees of thermal aging;

[0091] Each sample is processed by steps S2 to S4 to obtain a relative nonlinear coefficient of each sample;

[0092] The relative nonlinear coefficients of all samples were normalized to obtain the corresponding fitting data;

[0093] An error bar scatter plot is constructed based on all the fitting data and the corresponding thermal aging degree. A linear fit is performed on all the fitting data on the error bar scatter plot to obtain a fitting curve, and the fitting curve is used as the correlation model.

[0094] It should be noted that if the sample to be tested is a silicone rubber insulation material for cable accessories, a section of the insulating silicone rubber sample can be cut from the cable accessories to be tested as an insulating silicone rubber sample to ensure its representativeness. Perform necessary pretreatment on the insulating silicone rubber sample, such as cleaning and drying. Perform heat aging on all insulating silicone rubber samples. For example, 200°C is selected as the accelerated heat aging test temperature, and the insulating silicone rubber sample is heat aged at a heat aging time of 0 to obtain a specimen. The insulating silicone rubber sample is heat aged at a heat aging time of 72 to obtain another specimen. It can be inferred that the insulating silicone rubber samples are heat aged at heat aging times of 168, 336, 504, 672, 840, 1008h, etc., and specimens with corresponding heat aging degrees are obtained. Thus, specimens with different heat aging degrees can be obtained. Then, all the samples are processed according to step S2 to step S4 to calculate the relative nonlinear coefficients of the samples with different heat aging times, and the relative nonlinear coefficients of all the samples are normalized to obtain the corresponding fitting data. According to all the fitting data and the corresponding heat aging degrees, the error bar scatter plots of different heat aging degrees and the corresponding fitting data are drawn, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 By performing linear fitting on all the fitting data in the error bar scatter plot, a fitting curve between the fitting data and the degree of thermal aging can be obtained.

[0095] Embodiment 2:

[0098] A model and sample acquisition module 10 is used to obtain a correlation model between the relative nonlinear coefficient and the degree of thermal aging and a sample to be tested;

[0099] The test module 20 is used to transmit ultrasonic waves to the sample to be tested to perform an aging test and obtain a primary echo time domain signal composed of a reflected ultrasonic signal;

[0100] The signal processing module 30 is used to process the time domain signal of the primary echo to obtain a spectrum diagram including a fundamental frequency band and a second harmonic frequency band, and extract the fundamental amplitude and the second harmonic amplitude from the spectrum diagram;

[0101] A calculation module 40, used for calculating the relative nonlinear coefficient according to the fundamental wave amplitude and the second harmonic amplitude;

[0102] The analysis module 50 is used to input the relative nonlinear coefficient into the correlation model for analysis to obtain the thermal aging degree corresponding to the sample to be tested.

[0103] It should be noted that the contents of the modules in the device of Example 2 have been described in the contents of the steps in the method of Example 1, and the contents of the modules of the device for detecting thermal aging of insulating silicone rubber based on cable accessories will not be repeated in this embodiment.
