[0032] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a schematic flowchart of an ultrasonic flaw detection method for a ground wire provided in an embodiment of this application. The flowchart mainly includes the following steps: S101 to S106.

[0034] Step S101, in response to a flaw detection operation on a target ground wire, obtain flaw detection evaluation data of the target ground wire by ultrasonic waves.

[0035] Specifically, when the user performs a flaw detection operation on the target ground wire, a high-sensitivity ultrasonic guided wave sensor is used to emit ultrasonic waves, and flaw detection evaluation data of the target ground wire is obtained. The target ground wire is the ground wire selected by the user for the flaw detection operation, and can be any one of all the ground wires that need to be subjected to the flaw detection operation. When selecting a high-sensitivity ultrasonic guided wave sensor, it is necessary to ensure that its frequency band matches the material characteristics and structural dimensions of the target ground wire, and moreover, the signal power of the ultrasonic wave also needs to be adjusted according to the length, material, and defect sensitivity requirements of the target ground wire. The selection of the guided wave mode in the high-sensitivity ultrasonic guided wave sensor also needs to be determined according to the structural characteristics, and the structural characteristics include but are not limited to diameter, wall thickness, etc., and a guided wave mode with low attenuation and long propagation distance can be preferentially selected. Through the above screening and setting of the high-sensitivity ultrasonic guided wave sensor, the flaw detection evaluation data of the target ground wire obtained by ultrasonic waves is made more accurate and error-free, and meets the requirements of the current flaw detection operation.

[0036] Step S102, through a preprocessing operation, obtain the flaw detection evaluation features corresponding to the target ground wire according to the flaw detection evaluation data.

[0037] Specifically, through the preprocessing operation, the flaw detection evaluation data is converted into flaw detection evaluation features that can characterize the damage characteristics of the target ground wire. The preprocessing operation performs signal extraction, feature quantization, and normalization processing on the obtained raw data, so as to provide an accurate quantitative description of the damage state by comprehensively extracting and integrating the multi-dimensional features of the target ground wire.

[0038] In a possible implementation manner, step S102 further includes: obtaining the original waveform data, echo signal data, modal data, and phase data corresponding to the target ground wire in the flaw detection evaluation data; according to the original waveform data and the echo signal data, obtaining the signal features corresponding to the target ground wire, and the signal features include time domain features and frequency domain features; according to the modal data, obtaining the modal propagation features corresponding to the target ground wire, and the modal propagation features include scattering features and attenuation features; according to the phase data, obtaining the defect position features corresponding to the target ground wire; and taking the signal features, the modal propagation features, and the defect position features as the flaw detection evaluation features

[0039] Specifically, the following four types of data are extracted from the flaw detection evaluation data: Raw waveform data: Records the complete ultrasonic signal waveform obtained during the guided wave flaw detection process; Echo signal data: Extracts the key information in the reflected signal for identifying crack or other damage characteristics; Modal data: Includes characteristics such as the propagation mode, wave velocity, and amplitude attenuation of the guided wave; Phase data: Reflects the phase change of the guided wave signal during propagation and is used to locate defects. Based on the above data, the following features are extracted: Signal features: Time-domain features: Obtains information such as signal amplitude, waveform envelope, and time delay through time-domain analysis; Frequency-domain features: Extracts the spectral distribution, main frequency component, and harmonic characteristics of the signal through Fourier transform. Modal propagation features: Scattering features: Describes the scattering behavior of ultrasonic guided waves in the damaged area, such as the energy reflection coefficient; Attenuation features: Represents the energy loss of the guided wave signal during propagation and quantifies the impact of damage on signal propagation. Defect location features: Based on the phase data, calculates the phase difference of the guided wave signal at the defect, and locates the position and range of the defect through the time difference method or beamforming technology. Feature combination and normalization: Integrates the extracted signal features, modal propagation features, and defect location features into multi-dimensional flaw detection evaluation features. The above steps perform normalization processing on the flaw detection evaluation data to ensure the dimensional consistency of each dimension feature and improve the adaptability and calculation stability of the subsequent model.

[0040] Step S103: Obtain the damage type to be confirmed corresponding to the target ground wire according to the flaw detection evaluation features.

[0041] Specifically, by analyzing the flaw detection evaluation features extracted in step S102, the damage type of the target ground wire is identified. This process combines the signal, modal propagation, and spatial distribution information in the feature data to comprehensively judge the possible damage conditions of the ground wire. By analyzing the feature patterns and matching them with the preset discrimination methods, the damage type to be confirmed can be effectively determined, providing a basis for subsequent health status evaluation and repair strategies.

[0042] In a possible implementation manner, step S103 further includes: Identifying the signal change pattern of the target ground wire according to the time-domain features and frequency-domain features in the signal features; Analyzing the abnormal energy propagation area in the target ground wire according to the scattering features and attenuation features in the modal propagation features; Determining the spatial distribution of the signal abnormal area in the target ground wire according to the defect location features; Combining the signal change pattern, the abnormal energy propagation area, and the spatial distribution of the signal abnormal area, and identifying the damage type to be confirmed corresponding to the target ground wire based on the preset damage type discrimination method. The damage type to be confirmed includes crack damage type, broken wire damage type, pitting damage type, and corrosion damage type.

[0043] Specifically, by analyzing the flaw detection and evaluation features, the damage types to be confirmed of the target ground wire are identified, and the specific steps are as follows: First, according to the time-domain features and frequency-domain features in the signal features, the signal change pattern of the target ground wire is extracted. In the time domain, the sudden change of signal amplitude, abnormal envelope distribution, and signal delay characteristics are mainly analyzed; in the frequency domain, the main frequency components of the signal, harmonic structure, and energy change in a specific frequency band are checked to identify the characteristic response behavior of the ground wire under different damage types. At the same time, combining the scattering feature and attenuation feature in the modal propagation feature, the energy propagation of the target ground wire is analyzed. By quantifying the reflection intensity, scattering direction distribution, and attenuation characteristics of the signal at a specific position, the distribution area of abnormal energy propagation is depicted, and the possible damaged parts are speculated. In addition, according to the defect position feature, using the phase difference in the phase data, combined with the time difference method to calculate the specific position of the abnormal signal, and determining the spatial range and geometric distribution characteristics of the abnormal area through beamforming technology, so as to clarify the geometric position and range of the signal abnormal area. Finally, combining the signal change pattern, the abnormal area of energy propagation, and the spatial distribution information of the signal abnormal area, a comprehensive analysis is carried out based on the preset damage type discrimination method to determine the damage type to be confirmed of the target ground wire.

[0044] In the embodiments of the present application, the discrimination method includes but is not limited to the following characteristics. For example: crack damage is manifested as concentrated scattered energy and prominent local attenuation; broken wire damage is mainly manifested as the attenuation of the main frequency in the frequency spectrum structure and the abnormality of local scattering intensity; the typical feature of pitting damage is the uniform attenuation of signal energy, with a low attenuation intensity but a wide distribution range; corrosion damage is manifested as the continuous weakening of the time-domain signal envelope and the offset of the frequency-domain energy density distribution. Through these discrimination methods, the comprehensive flaw detection and evaluation features can accurately identify the damage types of the target ground wire, providing a solid basis for subsequent health status evaluation. It should be noted that the above description of the discrimination method is only an example given by the present application for the convenience of explanation. The discrimination method needs to be set manually according to different damage types, and the present application does not limit this setting method.

[0045] Step S104, obtain the target flaw detection model corresponding to the damage type to be confirmed in the preset flaw detection model database, and the preset flaw detection model database is used to store the correspondence between the damage type to be confirmed and the target flaw detection model.

[0046] Specifically, according to the type of damage to be confirmed, the corresponding target flaw detection model is obtained from the preset flaw detection model database to accurately detect the target ground wire. The preset flaw detection model database stores the correspondence between the type of damage to be confirmed and the target flaw detection model, and is a key resource library in the flaw detection process. In practical applications, to ensure the adaptability of the flaw detection model, it is usually necessary to construct corresponding flaw detection models for all known damage types in advance and establish the mapping relationship between the damage type and the model. In this way, the type of damage to be confirmed can be quickly matched with the corresponding detection model to achieve efficient flaw detection.

[0047] In a possible implementation manner, step S104 further includes: obtaining the historical flaw detection evaluation features corresponding to multiple confirmed damage types respectively, where one confirmed damage type corresponds to one or more historical flaw detection evaluation features; based on the historical flaw detection evaluation features, constructing multiple flaw detection models corresponding to the multiple confirmed damage types, and the target flaw detection model is any one of the multiple flaw detection models; constructing the correspondence between the multiple confirmed damage types and the multiple flaw detection models, where one confirmed damage type corresponds to one flaw detection model, and the multiple flaw detection models include a crack flaw detection model, a broken wire flaw detection model, a pitting flaw detection model, and a corrosion flaw detection model; storing the multiple confirmed damage types, the multiple flaw detection models, and the correspondence in the preset flaw detection model database.

[0048] Specifically, taking the construction of a flaw detection model for each of all known confirmed damage types as an example, and taking any one of the damage types and constructing the corresponding target flaw detection model, the construction steps are as follows: First, for a certain confirmed damage type, extract the signal features related to it from the historical flaw detection evaluation data, including time-domain features (including but not limited to the change rate of signal amplitude, peak duration, etc.), frequency-domain features (including but not limited to the main frequency component, frequency band energy distribution, etc.), modal propagation features (including but not limited to scattering intensity, energy attenuation ratio, etc.), and defect location features (including but not limited to the center point and range of the abnormal signal spatial distribution, etc.). Then, use feature engineering methods to screen and reduce the dimension of the extracted features to reduce feature redundancy and improve the generalization ability of the model. Subsequently, adopt classification algorithms (including but not limited to support vector machines, random forests, or neural network models, etc.) to train the flaw detection model, adjust the parameters to optimize the classification performance, and verify the accuracy and robustness of the model on the test data set. Finally, establish the mapping relationship between the flaw detection model and the corresponding damage type and store it in the preset flaw detection model database.

[0049] The above process is repeated until detection models and their mapping relationships corresponding to all known damage types are stored in the preset flaw detection model database. In this way, the flaw detection model library covers a rich variety of damage types and detection models. When it is necessary to determine the health status based on the flaw detection evaluation features of the target ground wire, the target flaw detection model matching the damage type to be confirmed can be quickly retrieved from the preset flaw detection model database, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of flaw detection.

[0050] In addition, the preset flaw detection model database also supports data updates. When the user sets a new damage type, the new damage type and its corresponding flaw detection model are added as new entries to the preset flaw detection model database, and the mapping relationship between the damage types and detection models in the preset flaw detection model database is updated. The preset flaw detection model database also supports version management of the stored data to facilitate tracing or optimizing existing flaw detection models when needed.

[0051] Step S105: Calculate the health status index of the target ground wire based on the flaw detection evaluation features and according to the target flaw detection model.

[0052] Specifically, based on the flaw detection evaluation features of the target ground wire, combined with the corresponding flaw detection model, the health status index is calculated through quantitative analysis and feature fusion. The index can accurately reflect the damaged degree of the target ground wire and provide guidance for subsequent maintenance decisions. Under different flaw detection models, the calculation methods of the health status index are different.

[0053] In a possible implementation manner, step S105 further includes: when the target flaw detection model is a crack flaw detection model, based on the flaw detection evaluation features, obtain the key parameters for crack flaw detection. The key parameters for crack flaw detection include crack length parameter, crack depth parameter, crack width parameter, crack shape parameter, and crack position parameter; through modal analysis, and calculate the dynamic response influence values according to the crack length parameter, crack depth parameter, crack shape parameter, and crack width parameter. The multiple dynamic response influence values include vibration frequency offset influence value, energy dissipation rate influence value, and signal attenuation coefficient influence value; calculate the crack damage assessment factor according to the dynamic response influence values; and calculate the health status index through multi-factor fusion according to the crack damage assessment factor and the crack position parameter.

[0054] Specifically, when the target flaw detection model is a crack flaw detection model, the specific calculation steps are as follows: First, according to the flaw detection evaluation characteristics of the target ground wire, key parameters for crack flaw detection are extracted, including crack length parameters, crack depth parameters, crack width parameters, crack shape parameters, and crack position parameters. Subsequently, based on modal analysis technology and combined with crack length, depth, shape, and width parameters, the influence value of the crack on the dynamic response of the ground wire is calculated. The dynamic response influence value includes the influence value of vibration frequency offset, the influence value of energy dissipation rate, and the influence value of signal attenuation coefficient. Then, by comprehensively evaluating these dynamic response influence values, a crack damage evaluation factor is calculated, which can reflect the degree of influence of the crack on the overall structural performance of the ground wire. Finally, by combining the crack damage evaluation factor with the crack position parameter, the health status index of the target ground wire is calculated through a multi-factor fusion algorithm. This health status index quantitatively evaluates the spatial distribution of crack damage and its comprehensive influence on mechanical properties.

[0055] When the target flaw detection model is a crack flaw detection model, the health status index is calculated according to the following formula:

[0056]

[0057] where H c is the health status index, λ1 and λ2 are adjustment parameters, S c is the crack damage evaluation factor, P c is the crack position parameter, P critical is the preset dangerous reference position, L is the total length of the ground wire, L c is the crack length parameter, D c is the crack depth parameter, W c is the crack width parameter, L max is the maximum reference value of the crack length, D max is the maximum reference value of the crack depth, W max is the maximum reference value of the crack width, E d is the influence value of energy dissipation rate, γ s is the influence value of signal attenuation coefficient, Δf is the influence value of vibration frequency offset, f0 is the reference vibration frequency of the target ground wire in the undamaged state, α1 to α6 are all weight coefficients, and satisfy F s is the crack shape parameter, k1 to k3 are all material-related constants, and T is the tension of the ground wire.

[0058] For other types of flaw detection models, such as broken wire flaw detection models, pitting flaw detection models, and corrosion flaw detection models, the calculation methods of health status indicators have their own characteristics. For example, in the broken wire flaw detection model, it is necessary to extract the quantity parameter, distribution density parameter, and position parameter of the broken wire, and evaluate its impact on the tension and stability of the ground wire through a mechanical damage analysis model. In the pitting flaw detection model, the health status indicators are mainly calculated based on the area parameter, depth parameter, and their distribution characteristics of the pitting through electromagnetic wave scattering analysis and material property degradation models. In the corrosion flaw detection model, the corrosion depth parameter, coverage area parameter, and electrochemical reaction rate parameter are extracted, and the comprehensive impact on the durability of the ground wire is evaluated in combination with the corrosion propagation model.

[0059] Step S106: Output the flaw detection result corresponding to the target ground wire according to the health status indicator.

[0060] Specifically, according to the health status indicator, output the flaw detection result of the target ground wire to clarify the current damage condition and health status of the target ground wire, and ensure the readability and operability of the detection information. The output methods of the flaw detection result include but are not limited to direct status description, generation of a detailed evaluation report, graphical presentation of damage distribution, health status trend, etc., so that users can take subsequent measures based on the detection result.

[0061] In a possible implementation manner, step S106 further includes: determining whether the health status indicator is greater than a first threshold; if the health status indicator is greater than or equal to the first threshold, output the flaw detection result as excellent health status; if the health status indicator is less than the first threshold, output the flaw detection result as having crack damage.

[0062] Specifically, according to the quantified value of the health status indicator, determine whether it is greater than or equal to a preset first threshold. The first threshold is the reference value of the health status of the target ground wire, reflecting the lowest standard for it to meet the normal working requirements. If the health status indicator is greater than or equal to the first threshold, determine that the flaw detection result of the target ground wire is excellent health status, and output the corresponding detection result, indicating that there is no obvious damage to the ground wire at present and it has the ability to operate normally; if the health status indicator is less than the first threshold, further analyze its damage type, and output the specific flaw detection result according to the previously determined damage type to be confirmed, such as marked as "having crack damage", "having broken wire damage", or "having corrosion damage", etc., and clearly describe the key characteristics of the damage in the report, including the spatial distribution of the damage, the severity of the damage, and the possible failure risk level.

[0063] It should be noted that when there are multiple damage types to be confirmed in the target ground wire, that is, when comprehensive evaluation needs to be carried out through multiple flaw detection models, first, the corresponding health status indicators are calculated respectively through each flaw detection model, and then the judgment in step S106 is carried out on each health status indicator respectively, so as to effectively identify each damage type, and then a comprehensive flaw detection operation is carried out on the target ground wire.

[0064] By adopting the above method, when performing the flaw detection operation on the target ground wire, the flaw detection evaluation data of the target ground wire is obtained through ultrasonic waves, and through the preprocessing operation, the flaw detection evaluation features corresponding to the target ground wire are obtained according to the flaw detection evaluation data, so as to obtain the damage type to be confirmed corresponding to the target ground wire according to the flaw detection evaluation features. Then, the target flaw detection model corresponding to the damage type to be confirmed is obtained in the preset flaw detection model database. Through the flaw detection evaluation features and according to the target flaw detection model, the health status indicator of the target ground wire is calculated, and according to the health status indicator, the flaw detection result is output, so as to accurately identify various damage types such as cracks, broken wires, pitting corrosion and general corrosion in the ground wire. Moreover, the ultrasonic technology is used to quickly obtain the flaw detection evaluation data of the target ground wire, and through automatic feature extraction and model matching, the manual intervention and analysis time are reduced, and the flaw detection efficiency is significantly improved.
