TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of industrial detection, in particular to a flaw detection system and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the global manufacturing industry accelerating towards high precision and intelligentization, the machining quality of precision parts has become a core indicator to measure the performance of high-end equipment. Especially in the field of mechanical manufacturing and processing, cylindrical parts as the key carriers of transmission structure (such as automobile engine accumulator, gear shaft sleeve, hydraulic piston ring, etc.), the inner wall geometric precision directly affects the sealing, wear resistance and transmission efficiency of the power system. Taking the automobile industry as an example, if the roundness error of the piston ring of the internal combustion engine increases by 1 micrometer, the fuel consumption rate may increase by 0.3%-0.5%; if the inner wall roughness of the ring-shaped part of the gear box exceeds the standard, it may cause high-frequency vibration, resulting in a 15%-20% reduction in the service life of the transmission system. Similarly, the inner wall precision error of cylindrical parts such as high-pressure fuel pipelines in the aerospace field and micro-implant cannulas in the medical device field is directly related to the safety and reliability of the equipment. These needs have driven the precision manufacturing industry to have an urgent need for micron-level detection technology, but the limitations of existing detection methods have seriously hindered the upgrading of the industry.
[0003] The current industry mainly relies on two methods for quality detection of cylindrical parts, but the technical bottlenecks are increasingly prominent:
[0004] I. Limitations of traditional detection technology
[0005] 1. Manual measurement method: 1) The operator uses contact tools such as calipers, plug gauges, and pneumatic gauges for manual measurement, which is still dominant in small and medium-sized enterprises, but its defects are significant: uncontrollable human error: the difference between repeated measurements can reach 2-5 microns due to problems such as measurement angle deviation and uneven touch pressure, while the tolerance band of precision parts usually requires to be controlled within ±3 microns; 2) Insufficient equipment precision: the resolution of mechanical gauges (such as vernier calipers) is generally 10-50 microns, which cannot meet the detection needs of super-precision parts; 3) Efficiency and cost issues: manual detection of a single piece takes 10-15 minutes, and the gauge needs to be calibrated frequently.
[0006] 2. Large-scale automated detection equipment: High-end equipment represented by coordinate measuring machines (CMM) and laser scanners can achieve non-contact measurement, but its application limitations are outstanding: 1) Poor spatial adaptability: CMM equipment usually occupies an area of more than 5 square meters, requiring independent detection stations, and is difficult to integrate into a compact assembly line; 2) Detection accuracy and curvature adaptability contradiction: Traditional laser triangulation method has 10-20 microns of edge distortion when measuring high-curvature inner walls (deep holes with a diameter of less than 30mm); 3) Economic barriers: The procurement cost of imported CMM is more than 1.5 million yuan, and the annual maintenance cost accounts for 25%-30%. Small and medium-sized enterprises cannot afford it, resulting in a technology penetration rate of less than 20%. In addition, such equipment has strict requirements for the positioning fixture of the workpiece, and the changeover debugging time is as long as 2-4 hours, which seriously restricts the multi-variety and small-batch production mode.
[0007] II. Special technical challenges of cylindrical part detection
[0008] The geometric characteristics of cylindrical parts and the complexity of industrial scenarios further exacerbate the detection difficulty: 1) Inner wall accessibility barrier: tubular structures with a depth-diameter ratio of more than 10:1 (such as hydraulic valve bodies and fuel injection pipes) are difficult to achieve full circumferential coverage detection, and the existing equipment probe bending radius is limited, resulting in a blind area ratio of more than 30%; 2) Multi-parameter coupling: Inner diameter, roundness, cylindricity, surface roughness, etc. need to be measured simultaneously, while traditional equipment mostly uses a step-by-step detection mode.
[0009] However, the current market mainstream equipment does not fully meet the above needs. Manual detection method is limited by the precision and efficiency ceiling, and large-scale equipment is difficult to popularize due to cost and adaptability problems. In order to realize high-precision automated detection of parts with cylindrical inner walls, the present application provides an OCT-based cylindrical inner wall flaw detection system and method, which can realize micron-level, high-automation inner wall trace detection.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without making creative efforts should belong to the scope of protection of the present application.
[0058] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second" and the like in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-described drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily indicate a specific order or a chronological sequence. It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product or device including a series of steps or units does not necessarily have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but can include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.
[0059] The present application utilizes SD-OCT and other optical path point technologies and introduces a MEMS galvanometer to control the equal optical path point of the SD-OCT unit on the surface of the cylindrical inner wall. When the inner wall has a minimum precision of micron-level indentation or protrusion damage, the system automatically records the defect position image. The system is not affected by ambient light, and provides a high-precision and high-automation flaw detection system and method.
[0060] A flaw detection system comprises: a stepping module 1, a rotation detection module 2, a detection module 3, a mounting clamp 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 transceiving and control unit 10, and an image processing and display unit 11.
[0061] Referring to Figure 1a ), the stepping module 1 is composed of a first servo motor 101, a single-shaft driver 102, a photoelectric limit switch 103, and a baffle 104, and functions to realize accurate movement of a sliding block 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 driving of the integrated encoder driver 7.
[0063] The single-shaft driver 102 is a sliding block guide rail, which comprises a motor fixing base 1021, a U-shaped groove 1022, a screw rod 1023, the sliding block 1024, and a tailstock 1025. The first servo motor 101 is installed at the motor fixing base 1021, which is bolted to the U-shaped groove 1022 and the screw rod 1023. The first servo motor 101 converts the rotary motion into reciprocating motion by means of a shaft coupling. The U-shaped groove 1022 is bolted to the motor fixing base 1021 and the tailstock 1025, and is used to clamp both sides of the sliding block 1024, so that the sliding block 1024 moves in parallel reciprocating motion according to the direction of the screw rod 1023. The screw rod 1023 provides a linear reciprocating motion path for the sliding block 1024. The sliding block 1024 is installed in threaded cooperation with the external threads of the screw rod 1023 through internal threads, and is clamped by the U-shaped groove 1022 on both sides of the sliding block 1024, so that the sliding block 1024 moves in parallel reciprocating motion. The tailstock 1025 is bolted to the screw rod 1023 and the U-shaped groove 1022, and fixes one end of the screw rod 1023.
[0064] Referring to Figure 1b ), the photoelectric limit switch 103 is a pair of U-shaped groove type photoelectric switches, which are bolted to one side of the U-shaped groove 1022 and electrically connected to the integrated encoder driver 7.
[0065] The baffle 104 is bolted to one side of the sliding block 1024 and the same side as the photoelectric limit switch 103, and forms a limit system with the photoelectric limit switch 103. The photoelectric limit switch 103 is U-shaped, and the two sides of the U-shaped groove are used as the transmitting and receiving ends of the optical signal. When the optical signal is blocked by the baffle 104, the photoelectric limit switch 103 sends an electrical signal to the integrated encoder driver 7, and then the integrated encoder driver 7 sends a stop rotating signal to the first servo motor 101, thereby realizing the limiting function.
[0066] The light-electric limit switch 103 and the baffle 104 mounted to the slider 1024 form a limit system to limit the linear reciprocating motion range of the slider 1024, so that the probe 201 is prevented from colliding with the bottom end of the cylindrical inner wall part 5 and deforming due to the motion of the slider 1024 beyond the input value caused by the failure of the brake system or the encoding system between the single-axis driver 102 and the integrated encoding driver 7.
[0067] Referring to Figure 2a )、 Figure 2b )、 Figure 2c The rotation detection module 2 includes a probe 201, a MEMS mirror 202, a bearing seat fixing member 203, a bearing 204, a bearing seat 205, a clamping ring 206, a conductive slip ring 207, and a transmission wheel 208. The probe 201 is a cylindrical probe having a coaxial cylindrical boss in the middle for abutting the bearing 204. The probe 201 is coaxially installed in the order of the bearing 204, the bearing seat 205, the bearing 204, the clamping ring 206, the conductive slip ring 207, and the transmission wheel 208, wherein the bearing seat 205 is coaxially installed with the cylindrical gap of the bearing seat fixing member 203, and the clamping ring 206, the conductive slip ring 207, and the transmission wheel 208 are all locked by screw connection from one side through a locking screw.
[0068] The diameter of the probe 201 is greater than the required space diameter for installing the MEMS mirror 202 and less than the inner diameter of the cylindrical inner wall part 5.
[0069] The MEMS mirror 202 is a one-dimensional MEMS mirror module, which is fixed to the probe 201 through the gap of the probe 201 by bolt connection and is electrically connected with the conductive slip ring 207 and the SD-OCT unit 8. The MEMS mirror 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 mirror 202 will swing and scan under the control of the SD-OCT unit 8 to realize one-dimensional data acquisition. At this time, the rotation of the probe 201 and the reciprocating motion of the slider 1024 are coordinated to realize the scanning of the inner wall surface of the cylindrical inner wall part 5.
[0070] The bearing seat fixing member 203 is bolted with the slider 1024 and the bearing seat 205, and the reciprocating motion of the rotation detection module 2 is realized through the connection.
[0071] The bearing 204 is installed at both ends of the bearing seat 205, and the probe 201, the bearing 204, the bearing seat 205, and the bearing 204 are pressed tightly by the clamping ring 206 to fix the probe 201 and the bearing seat 205, so that the probe 201 rotates around the central axis of the bearing 204.
[0072] The bearing housing 205 is bolted to the bearing housing fastener 203, providing a coaxial mounting structure for the bearing 204.
[0073] The clamping ring 206 is a metal ring with a pin hole. It is connected to the probe 201 by a set screw to fix the position of the probe 201, bearing 204, bearing seat 205, and bearing 204, preventing the four components from sliding back and forth around the bearing seat and allowing the probe 201 to rotate under the action of the bearing 204.
[0074] The conductive slip ring 207 is electrically connected to the power supply 6 and the SD-OCT unit 8, and is spatially adjacent to the clamping ring 206. 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 acquired signals through the conductive slip ring 207.
[0075] The transmission wheel 208 is a ring with a pin hole, which is screwed to the probe 201 by a set screw to fix the conductive slip ring 207 and is connected to the keyway of the synchronous belt 304. The second servo motor 302 rotates to drive the transmission wheel 303, and the probe 201 rotates 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 component 305, and a lens 306. The detection module 3 is bolted to the slider 1024 and coincides with the central axis of the probe 201 and the cylindrical inner wall part 5.
[0077] The transmission base 301 is bolted to the rotation detection module 2, the second servo motor 302 and the slider 1024. Its function is to synchronize the detection module 3 installed on the slider 1024 and the slider 1024 to perform reciprocating motion.
[0078] The position where the rotation detection module 2 is installed on the transmission base 301 must satisfy the requirement that the central axis of the probe 201 of the rotation detection module 2 is parallel to the lead screw 1023.
[0079] The second servo motor 302 is an integrated closed-loop stepper servo motor, which is electrically connected to the integrated encoder driver 7 and rotates according to the drive of the integrated encoder driver 7. The second servo motor 302 is fixed to the transmission base 301 by bolts. The transmission wheel 303 on the rotating shaft of the second servo motor 302 is screwed and connected by set screws. The installation of the second servo motor 302 makes the transmission wheel 303 and the transmission wheel 208 flush.
[0080] The transmission wheel 303 is a ring with a pin hole, and is screwed to the second servo motor 302 through a set screw. The transmission wheel 303 is connected to the transmission wheel 208 through a key groove of a synchronous belt 304, and the three work together to synchronize the rotating movement of the second servo motor 302 to the probe 201 of the rotating detection module 2.
[0081] The synchronous belt 304 is connected to the transmission wheel 208 and the transmission wheel 303 through a key groove, and drives the probe 201 to rotate.
[0082] The lens fixing part 305 is screwed to the transmission base 301, so that the central axis of the lens 306 coincides with the central axis of the probe 201.
