Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of industrial inspection, and in particular, to a flaw detection system and method. Background Art
[0002] With the accelerating transformation of the global manufacturing industry towards high precision and intelligence, the processing quality of precision components has become the core indicator for measuring the performance of high-end equipment. Especially in the field of mechanical manufacturing and processing, cylindrical parts, as the key carriers of transmission structures (such as automotive engine accumulators, gear shaft sleeves, hydraulic piston rings, etc.), the geometric accuracy of their inner walls directly affects the sealing performance, wear resistance, and transmission efficiency of the power system. Taking the automotive industry as an example, for every 1-micron increase in the roundness error of an internal combustion engine piston ring, the fuel consumption rate may increase by 0.3% - 0.5%; if the inner wall roughness of the annular parts in a gearbox exceeds the standard, it may cause high-frequency vibration, resulting in a 15% - 20% reduction in the service life of the transmission system. Similarly, for cylindrical components such as high-pressure fuel pipelines in the aerospace field and micro-implant cannulas in the medical device field, the accuracy error of their inner walls is directly related to the safety and reliability of the equipment. These demands have driven the urgent need for micron-level detection technology in the precision manufacturing industry, but the limitations of existing detection methods have severely restricted the technological upgrading of the industry.
[0003] Currently, the quality inspection of cylindrical parts in the industry mainly relies on two types of methods, but their technical bottlenecks are becoming increasingly prominent:
[0004] I. Analysis of the Limitations of Traditional Detection Techniques
[0005] 1. Manual measurement method: 1) The operator uses contact tools such as calipers, plug gauges, and pneumatic gauges for manual measurement. This method still dominates in small and medium-sized enterprises, but its defects are significant: Uncontrollable human error: Problems such as measurement angle deviation and uneven contact pressure can result in a difference of 2 - 5 microns in repeated measurements, while the tolerance band of precision parts usually requires control within ±3 microns; 2) Insufficient equipment accuracy: The resolution of mechanical measuring tools (such as vernier calipers) is generally 10 - 50 microns, which cannot meet the detection requirements of ultra-precision machined parts; 3) Efficiency and cost issues: Manual inspection of a single piece takes up to 10 - 15 minutes, and the measuring tools need to be calibrated frequently.
[0006] 2. Large-scale automated inspection equipment: High-end equipment represented by coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and laser scanners can achieve non-contact measurement, but their application limitations are prominent: 1) Poor spatial adaptability: The floor area of CMM equipment usually exceeds 5 square meters, requiring an independent inspection station and being difficult to integrate into a compact production line; 2) Contradiction between inspection accuracy and curvature adaptability: In the measurement of the inner wall with high curvature (deep holes with a diameter < 30 mm) by the traditional laser triangulation method, edge distortion of 10 - 20 microns is generated due to beam scattering; 3) Economic barriers: The procurement cost of imported coordinate measuring machines exceeds 1.5 million yuan, and the annual maintenance cost accounts for 25% - 30%. It is difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises to bear, resulting in a technology penetration rate of less than 20%. In addition, such equipment has strict requirements for the positioning fixtures of workpieces, and the changeover and debugging take up to 2 - 4 hours, severely restricting the multi-variety and small-batch production mode.
[0007] II. Special technical challenges in the inspection of cylindrical parts
[0008] The geometric features of cylindrical parts and the complexity of industrial scenarios further exacerbate the inspection difficulty: 1) Barrier to inner wall accessibility: Tubular structures with a depth-to-diameter ratio > 10:1 (such as hydraulic valve bodies and fuel injection pipes) are difficult to achieve full circumferential coverage inspection. The bending radius of the existing equipment probe is limited, resulting in a blind area ratio of more than 30%; 2) Multi-parameter coupling: Parameters such as inner diameter, roundness, cylindricity, and surface roughness need to be measured synchronously, while traditional equipment mostly adopts a step-by-step inspection mode.
[0009] However, the current mainstream equipment in the market does not fully meet the above requirements. The manual inspection method is restricted by the ceiling of accuracy and efficiency, while large-scale equipment is difficult to popularize due to cost and adaptability issues. In order to achieve high-precision automated inspection of parts with cylindrical inner walls, the present invention provides an OCT-based cylindrical inner wall flaw detection system and method, which can achieve micron-level and highly automated inner wall trace detection. Summary of the Invention
[0010] The embodiments of the present invention provide a flaw detection system and method to solve the technical problems of low measurement accuracy and low automation degree of the existing flaw detection system.
[0011] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a flaw detection system is provided, including: a stepping module, a rotation detection module, a detection module, a cylindrical inner wall part, an integrated encoder driver, an SD-OCT unit, an optical fiber, a signal transceiver and control unit, and an image processing and display unit; wherein:
[0012] Input the detection requirement signal into the signal transceiver and control unit. At this time, the signal transceiver and control unit sends corresponding rotation parameters to the first servo motor of the stepping module and the second servo motor of the detection module according to the detection requirement signal, and sends an imaging instruction to the SD-OCT unit;
[0013] After receiving the imaging instruction, the SD-OCT unit controls the light source to emit laser light. The laser light reaches the lens of the detection module through an optical fiber and is incident on the inner surface of the cylindrical inner wall part in the form of free-space light propagation, where it reflects and scatters with the scratches on the inner wall of the inner wall part. Part of the light returns to the SD-OCT unit along the original path.
[0014] When the laser light is incident on the inner surface of the inner wall part, the signal transceiver and control unit sends an electrical signal to the integrated coding driver according to the input detection requirement signal, controlling the first servo motor and the second servo motor to rotate. While the first servo motor moves back and forth, the second servo motor rotates synchronously to perform an overall scan of the inner wall of the inner wall part.
[0015] The signal transceiver and control unit integrates the electrical signals collected by the SD-OCT unit and the digital signals corresponding to the input detection requirement signals, and then uniformly converts them into digital signals and sends them to the image processing and display unit. The image processing and display unit processes the digital signals and displays the relevant information about the scratches inside the inner wall part.
[0016] Further, the stepping module consists of a first servo motor, a single-axis driver, an optoelectronic limit switch, and a baffle.

The first servo motor is installed at the motor fixing seat, and the motor fixing seat is connected to the U-shaped groove and the lead screw. The first servo motor converts the rotational motion into a reciprocating motion through the lead screw; the U-shaped groove is connected to the motor fixing seat and the tailstock, and is used to clamp both sides of the slider, enabling the slider to perform a parallel reciprocating motion in the direction indicated by the lead screw; the lead screw provides a path for the linear reciprocating motion of the slider; the slider is clamped on both sides by the U-shaped groove, enabling the slider to perform a parallel reciprocating motion; the tailstock is connected to the lead screw and the U-shaped groove to fix one end of the lead screw.
[0019] The optoelectronic limit switch is connected to one side of the U-shaped groove and is electrically connected to the integrated coding driver.
[0020] The baffle is connected to one side of the slider and on the same side as the optoelectronic limit switch; the optoelectronic limit switch uses both sides of the U-shaped groove as the transmitting and receiving ends of the optical signal. When the optical signal is blocked by the baffle, the optoelectronic limit switch sends an electrical signal to the integrated coding driver, and then the integrated coding driver sends a stop rotation signal to the first servo motor to achieve the limiting function.
[0021] Further, the rotation detection module includes a probe, a MEMS galvanometer, a bearing seat fixing part, bearings, a bearing seat, a clamping ring, a conductive slip ring, and a transmission wheel;
[0022] The probe is coaxially installed in the order of bearings, bearing seat, bearings, clamping ring, conductive slip ring, and transmission wheel. Among them, the bearing seat is coaxially installed with the cylindrical notch of the bearing seat fixing part, and the clamping ring, conductive slip ring, and transmission wheel are all connected and locked from one side;
[0023] The MEMS galvanometer is electrically connected to the conductive slip ring and the SD-OCT unit. The MEMS galvanometer is powered by the power supply through the conductive slip ring and is controlled by the SD-OCT unit. The MEMS galvanometer will perform swing scanning under the control of the SD-OCT unit to realize the acquisition of one-dimensional data. At this time, combined with the rotation of the probe and the reciprocating movement of the slider, the inner wall surface of the cylindrical inner wall part is scanned;
[0024] The bearing seat fixing part is connected to the slider and the bearing seat, and the reciprocating movement of the rotation detection module is realized through this connection; The bearings are installed at both ends of the bearing seat, and the probe, bearings, bearing seat, and bearings are pressed tightly by the clamping ring; The bearing seat is connected to the bearing seat fixing part; The clamping ring is connected to the probe to fix the positions of the probe, bearings, bearing seat, and bearings;
[0025] The conductive slip ring is electrically connected to the power supply and the SD-OCT unit, and is adjacent to the clamping ring in terms of spatial position. The power supply supplies power to the MEMS galvanometer through the conductive slip ring, and the SD-OCT unit controls the MEMS galvanometer to receive the collected signals through the conductive slip ring;
[0026] The transmission wheel is connected to the probe, fixes the conductive slip ring, and is connected to the synchronous belt keyway. The rotation of the second servo motor drives the transmission wheel, and the probe is driven to rotate through the synchronous belt and the transmission wheel.
[0027] Further, the detection module includes a transmission base, a second servo motor, a transmission wheel, a synchronous belt, a lens fixing part, and a lens;
[0028] The detection module is bolt-connected to the slider and coincides with the central axes of the probe and the cylindrical inner wall part;
[0029] The transmission base is connected to the rotation detection module, the second servo motor, and the slider, and synchronously performs reciprocating movement of the detection module installed on the slider and the slider;
[0030] The second servo motor is electrically connected to the integrated encoder driver and rotates according to the drive of the integrated encoder driver. The second servo motor is connected to the transmission base, and the installation of the second servo motor makes the transmission wheel of the rotation detection module and the transmission wheel of the detection module in a flush position;
[0031] The driving wheel of the detection module is connected to the second servo motor. The driving wheel of the rotation detection module and the driving wheel of the detection module are connected through a synchronous belt keyway. The three work together to synchronize the rotational motion of the second servo motor to the probe of the rotation detection module. The synchronous belt is connected to the driving wheels of the rotation detection module and the detection module through keyways, driving the probe to rotate.
[0032] The lens fixing part is connected to the transmission base, making the central axis of the lens coincide with the central axis of the probe.
[0033] The lens is connected to the lens holder and is connected to the SD-OCT unit through an optical fiber. The outgoing light of the SD-OCT unit is incident parallel to the MEMS galvanometer through the characteristics of free space propagation of light. The outgoing light is reflected by the MEMS galvanometer to the surface of the cylindrical inner wall part through the way of free space propagation of light, and then returns to the MEMS galvanometer, lens, optical fiber, and SD-OCT unit along the original path in turn. And the optical axis of the outgoing light coincides with the central axes of the lens and the probe.
[0034] Furthermore, the installation fixture is bolted to the tailstock and is connected and cooperated with the cylindrical inner wall part. The central axis of the cylindrical inner wall part installed on the installation fixture coincides with the central axis of the probe.
[0035] Furthermore, the integrated encoder driver is electrically connected to the photoelectric limit switch, the first servo motor, the second servo motor, the power supply, and the signal transceiver and control unit. It supplies the direct current of the power supply to the photoelectric limit switch, the first servo motor, and the second servo motor, controls the rotation of the first servo motor and the second servo motor according to the control instructions issued by the signal transceiver and control unit, receives the electrical signal of the photoelectric limit switch, judges whether the first servo motor reaches the limit, and if it reaches the limit, it will send an instruction to the signal transceiver and control unit. The signal transceiver and control unit stops the rotation of the first servo motor according to the feedback adjustment.
[0036] Furthermore, the SD-OCT unit acquires the image information within the depth range of the preset detection plane by controlling the light output of the light source and the cooperation scanning of the MEMS galvanometer. The SD-OCT unit is electrically connected to the power supply, the MEMS galvanometer, and the signal transceiver and control unit and is controlled by the signal transceiver and control unit.
[0037] Further, the signal transceiver and control unit is electrically connected to the integrated coding driver and the SD-OCT unit, sends an electrical signal to the integrated coding driver to control the rotation parameters of the first servo motor and the second servo motor, and sends the rotation parameters and the digital signal collected by the SD-OCT unit to the image processing and display unit, receives the signal returned by the photoelectric limit switch via the integrated coding driver, determines whether the first servo motor reaches the limit. If the first servo motor reaches the limit at this time, the signal transceiver and control unit will send an electrical signal to the integrated coding driver and control the first servo motor to stop moving.
[0038] Further, the image processing and display unit is electrically connected to the signal transceiver and control unit, reconstructs the three-dimensional inner surface image of the cylindrical inner wall part according to the rotation parameters sent by the signal transceiver and control unit and the digital signal collected by the SD-OCT unit, obtains the scratch information inside the cylindrical inner wall part, calculates the depth, width, and position information of the scratch according to this information, and stores it locally in the form of tables and pictures.
[0039] According to another embodiment of the present invention, a flaw detection method is provided, including the following steps:

[0041] After receiving the imaging instruction, the SD-OCT unit controls the light source to emit laser light.

[0042] When the laser light is incident on the inner surface of the inner wall part, the signal transceiver and control unit sends an electrical signal to the integrated coding driver according to the input detection requirement signal, controls the first servo motor and the second servo motor to rotate. While the first servo motor moves back and forth, the second servo motor rotates synchronously to perform an overall scan of the inner wall of the inner wall part;
[0043] The signal transceiver and control unit integrates the electrical signal collected by the SD-OCT unit and the digital signal corresponding to the input detection requirement signal, uniformly converts them into digital signals and sends them to the image processing and display unit. The image processing and display unit processes the digital signals and displays the relevant information of the scratches inside the inner wall part.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present invention described here can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units does not necessarily have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.
[0059] The present invention utilizes optical path point technologies such as SD-OCT and introduces a MEMS galvanometer to control the equal optical path points of the SD-OCT unit on the surface of the cylindrical inner wall. When there are scars with a minimum precision of micron-level depressions or protrusions on the inner wall, the system automatically records the defect position image. This system is not affected by ambient light and provides a flaw detection system and method with high measurement accuracy and high automation.
[0060] A flaw detection system includes: a stepping module 1, a rotation detection module 2, a detection module 3, a mounting fixture 4, a cylindrical inner wall part 5, a power supply 6, an integrated encoder driver 7, an SD-OCT unit 8, an optical fiber 9, a signal transceiver and control unit 10, and an image processing and display unit 11.
[0061] See Figure 1a ), the stepping module 1 is composed of a first servo motor 101, a single-axis driver 102, an optoelectronic limit switch 103, and a baffle 104, and its function is to achieve precise movement of the slider 1024.
[0062] The first servo motor 101 is an integrated closed-loop stepping servo motor, which is electrically connected to the integrated encoder driver 7 and rotates according to the drive of the integrated encoder driver 7.
[0063] The single-axis driver 102 is a slider guide rail, including a motor fixing seat 1021, a U-shaped groove 1022, a lead screw 1023, a slider 1024, and a tailstock 1025. The first servo motor 101 is installed at the motor fixing seat 1021. The motor fixing seat 1021 is bolted to the U-shaped groove 1022 and the lead screw 1023. The first servo motor 101 converts the rotational motion into a reciprocating motion by means of a coupling connection through the lead screw 202; the U-shaped groove 1022 is bolted to the motor fixing seat 1021 and the tailstock 1025, and is used to clamp both sides of the slider 1024, so that the slider 1024 makes a parallel reciprocating motion along the direction pointed by the lead screw 1023; the lead screw 1023 provides a path for the linear reciprocating motion of the slider 1024; the slider 1024 is installed by means of a threaded fit between the internal internal thread and the external thread of the lead screw 1023, and is clamped by the U-shaped groove 1022 on both sides of the slider 1024, so that the slider 1024 makes a parallel reciprocating motion; the tailstock 1025 is bolted to the lead screw 1023 and the U-shaped groove 1022 to fix one end of the lead screw 1023.
[0064] See Figure 1b ), the optoelectronic limit switch 103 is a pair of U-groove optoelectronic switches, which are bolted to one side 202 of the U-shaped groove and are electrically connected to the integrated encoder driver 7.
[0065] The baffle 104 is bolted to one side of the slider 1024 and on the same side as the optoelectronic limit switch 103, and forms a limit system with the optoelectronic limit switch 103. The optoelectronic limit switch 103 is U-shaped, and the two sides of the U-shape are used as the light signal emission and reception ends. When the light signal is blocked by the baffle 104, the optoelectronic limit switch 103 sends an electrical signal to the integrated encoder driver 7, and then the integrated encoder driver 7 sends a stop rotation signal to the first servo motor 101 to achieve the limit function.
[0066] Among them, the limit system composed of the photoelectric limit switch 103 and the baffle 104 installed on the slider 1024 restricts the range of the linear reciprocating motion of the slider 1024, avoiding the situation where due to failures in the braking system or the coding system between the single-axis driver 102 and the integrated coding driver 7, the slider 1024 moves beyond the input value and exceeds the motion range, and can prevent the probe 201 from hitting the bottom end of the cylindrical inner wall part 5, resulting in deformation of the probe 201.

[0068] Among them, the diameter of the probe 201 is larger than the diameter of the space required for installing the MEMS galvanometer 202 and smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical inner wall part 5.
[0069] Among them, the MEMS galvanometer 202 is a one-dimensional MEMS galvanometer module. The MEMS galvanometer 202 is fixed to the probe 201 through the notch of the probe 201 by bolt connection and is electrically connected to the conductive slip ring 207 and the SD-OCT unit 8. The MEMS galvanometer 202 is powered by the power supply 6 through the conductive slip ring 207 and is controlled by the SD-OCT unit 8. The MEMS galvanometer 202 will perform swing scanning under the control of the SD-OCT unit 8 to realize the acquisition of one-dimensional data. At this time, combined with the rotation of the probe 201 and the reciprocating motion of the slider 1024, the inner wall surface of the cylindrical inner wall part 5 is scanned.
[0070] Among them, the bearing seat fixing part 203 is bolted to the slider 1024 and the bearing seat 205, and the reciprocating motion of the rotation detection module 2 is realized through this connection.

[0074] Among them, the conductive slip ring 207 is electrically connected to the power supply 6 and the SD-OCT unit 8, and is adjacent to the clamping ring 206 in the spatial position. The power supply 6 supplies power to the MEMS galvanometer 202 through the conductive slip ring 207, and the SD-OCT unit 8 controls the MEMS galvanometer 202 to receive the collected signals through the conductive slip ring 207.
[0075] Among them, the transmission wheel 208 is a ring with pin holes, and is screw-connected to the probe 201 through set screws to fix the conductive slip ring 207, and is keyway-connected to the synchronous belt 304. The rotation of the second servo motor 302 drives the transmission wheel 303, and drives the probe 201 to rotate through the synchronous belt 304 and the transmission wheel 208.
[0076] See Figure 3a )、 Figure 3b ), the detection module 3 includes a transmission base 301, a second servo motor 302, a transmission wheel 303, a synchronous belt 304, a lens fixing part 305 and a lens 306. The detection module 3 is bolted to the slider 1024 and coincides with the central axes of the probe 201 and the cylindrical inner wall part 5.
[0077] Among them, the transmission base 301 is bolted to the rotation detection module 2, the second servo motor 302 and the slider 1024, and its function is to move the detection module 3 installed on the slider 1024 and the slider 1024 back and forth synchronously.
[0078] Among them, the position where the rotation detection module 2 is installed on the transmission base 301 needs to satisfy that the central axis of the probe 201 of the rotation detection module 2 is parallel to the lead screw 1023.
[0079] Among them, the second servo motor 302 is an integrated closed-loop stepping servo motor, which is electrically connected to the integrated encoder driver 7 and rotates according to the drive of the integrated encoder driver 7.
