[0018] Additional aspects and advantages of the present application will be given in part in the following description, become apparent in part from the following description, or be learned through the practice of the present application. Description of the Drawings

[0024] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions from beginning to end. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, but should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0025] Currently, during each A / B-class maintenance of a water turbine unit, non-destructive testing needs to be carried out on the bearing to detect defects such as bearing wear and delamination of the composite layer in a timely manner and eliminate potential safety hazards of the equipment. Appearance inspection and penetrant testing methods can be used for bearing wear or delamination at the edge of the composite layer, but ultrasonic testing can only be used for delamination of the internal composite layer.

[0026] There is no ultrasonic detection standard for the inspection of the delamination of the overlay layer of the bearing bush of a hydro-generating unit, and only the standard for a thermal power generating unit can be referred to. However, this standard mainly targets the high-temperature bearing bushes of thermal power generating units, and the overlay layer is made of alloy materials such as Babbitt alloy and tungsten-lead alloy. In contrast, the temperature of the hydro-generating unit is relatively low, and the overlay layer mostly uses polymer materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene and polyamide. Since the acoustic properties of alloy materials and polymer materials differ greatly, the reflected echo differences between them are significant. If the ultrasonic detection standard for the bearing bushes of thermal power generating units with an alloy material overlay layer is used to detect the bearing bushes of hydro-generating units with a polymer material overlay layer, it will inevitably cause missed detection or misjudgment of defects, affecting the safe operation of the unit.

[0027] The following describes the ultrasonic detection method, device, electronic device, storage medium, and program for the delamination defect of the overlay layer of the bearing bush of a hydro-generating unit according to the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Specifically, Figure 1 It is a schematic flowchart of an ultrasonic detection method for the delamination defect of the overlay layer of the bearing bush of a hydro-generating unit provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0029] As Figure 1 shown, the ultrasonic detection method for the delamination defect of the overlay layer of the bearing bush of a hydro-generating unit includes the following steps:

[0030] In step S101, ultrasonic data reflected by the base layer and the overlay layer of the comparison test block of the bearing bush of the hydro-generating unit are obtained.

[0031] It can be understood that the embodiments of the present application can obtain the ultrasonic data reflected by the base layer and the overlay layer of the comparison test block of the bearing bush of the hydro-generating unit, so as to calculate the first reflectivity between the interface of the base layer and the overlay layer and the second reflectivity between the interface of the overlay layer and the air interface in the subsequent calculation of the ultrasonic data.

[0032] It should be noted that before obtaining the ultrasonic data reflected by the base layer and the overlay layer of the comparison test block of the bearing bush of the hydro-generating unit, a comparison test block with the same matrix material (such as alloy steel) and overlay layer material (such as polytetrafluoroethylene) as the actual bearing bush, the same test block thickness, and a good combination of the interface between the matrix and the overlay layer without delamination or bubbles needs to be made to avoid acoustic parameter deviation.

[0033] In step S102, the first reflectivity between the interface of the base layer and the overlay layer and the second reflectivity between the interface of the overlay layer and the air interface are calculated based on the ultrasonic data.

[0034] It can be understood that the embodiments of the present application can calculate the first reflectivity between the interface of the base layer and the overlay layer and the second reflectivity between the interface of the overlay layer and the air interface based on the ultrasonic data, so as to calculate the echo height difference in the subsequent calculation.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, calculating the first reflectivity between the matrix layer interface and the composite layer interface and the second reflectivity between the composite layer interface and the air interface according to the ultrasonic data includes: obtaining the density and sound velocity of the bearing bush matrix and the composite layer material of the hydro-generator unit from the ultrasonic data; calculating the corresponding acoustic impedances of the bearing bush matrix and the composite layer material according to the density and sound velocity respectively; calculating the first reflectivity between the matrix layer interface and the composite layer interface according to the acoustic impedances of the bearing bush matrix and the composite layer material, and calculating the second reflectivity between the composite layer interface and the air interface according to the acoustic impedance of the composite layer material and the acoustic impedance of air.

[0036] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the acoustic impedances of the bearing bush matrix and the composite layer material of the hydro-generator unit can be calculated according to the density and sound velocity of the bearing bush matrix and the composite layer material, and the first reflectivity between the matrix layer interface and the composite layer interface and the second reflectivity between the composite layer interface and the air interface can be calculated respectively according to the acoustic impedances, so as to improve the accuracy of subsequent detection.

[0037] Specifically, measuring the density and sound velocity of the bearing bush matrix and the composite layer material to calculate the acoustic impedance, specifically: Z = ρc, where Z is the acoustic impedance, ρ is the density, and c is the sound velocity.

[0038] Specifically, when measuring the acoustic characteristics of the bearing bush matrix and the composite layer material, the sound velocities of the bearing bush matrix and the composite layer can be measured by using an ultrasonic detector to measure two mutually parallel large flat bottom surfaces of the matrix and the composite layer, and calculated by using the first and second bottom surface echoes of the large flat bottom surface, or obtained from the Mth and Nth bottom waves, and the average value is taken after measuring 3 times to reduce errors; the density is obtained by the ratio of weight to volume, the weight is measured by the weighing method, and the volume of the irregular object is measured by the liquid immersion drainage method.

[0039] In step S103, calculating the echo height difference according to the first reflectivity and the second reflectivity, where the echo height difference is the echo height difference between the echo heights of the matrix layer interface and the composite layer interface and the echo height of the composite layer interface and the air interface.

[0040] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the echo height difference can be calculated according to the first reflectivity and the second reflectivity. By the direct correlation between the reflectivity and the echo height difference, replacing the manual experience judgment, and calculating the echo height difference based on the reflectivity, it provides a standardized and high-precision detection basis for the defect of the composite layer peeling off the bearing bush of the hydro-generator unit, and improves the reliability and efficiency of defect identification.

[0041] It should be noted that the echo heights of the matrix layer interface and the composite layer interface represent the echo heights in the normal bonding state; the echo height of the composite layer interface and the air interface represents the theoretical echo height in the completely peeled-off state.

[0042] Specifically, the interface reflectivity and the echo height difference ΔH are calculated based on acoustic parameters, specifically:

[0043] Reflectivity of the substrate - composite layer:

[0044] Reflectivity of the composite layer - air:

[0045] Echo height difference:

[0046] Wherein, R 基-覆 is the sound pressure reflectivity of the interface between the base layer and the composite layer; Z 基 is the acoustic impedance of the substrate; Z 覆 is the acoustic impedance of the composite layer, R 空-覆 is the sound pressure reflectivity of the interface between air and the composite layer; Z 空 is the acoustic impedance of air, ΔH is the difference between the echo height of the interface between the base layer and the composite layer and the echo height of the interface between the composite layer and air; H 基-覆 is the echo height of the interface between the base layer and the composite layer; H 空-覆 is the echo height of the interface between the composite layer and air; P0 is the sound pressure at the probe.

[0047] In step S104, phased array probes are selected according to the echo height and the echo height difference to perform ultrasonic detection on the composite layer of the actual hydro - generator bearing bush to generate the detection result of the delamination defect.

[0048] It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, phased array probes can be selected according to the echo height and the echo height difference to perform ultrasonic detection on the composite layer of the actual hydro - generator bearing bush to generate the detection result of the delamination defect. By selecting phased array probes based on the echo height and the echo height difference, combined with real - time imaging and automated analysis, the present invention realizes high - precision and high - efficiency detection of the delamination defect of the composite layer of the hydro - generator bearing bush.

[0049] In the embodiments of the present application, before phased array probes are selected according to the echo height and the echo height difference to perform ultrasonic detection on the composite layer of the actual hydro - generator bearing bush to generate the detection result of the delamination defect, it includes: calibrating the phased array process parameters of the phased array ultrasonic device by using the ultrasonic data of the reference block; wherein, the phased array process parameters include probe parameters, instrument setting parameters and scanning parameters. Among them, the probe parameters include probe type, frequency, probe diameter, aperture, number of wafers, size and arrangement mode, and the scanning parameters include scanning mode and encoder parameters; the instrument setting parameters are the detection thresholds for delamination defects, including the complete bonding threshold, partial delamination threshold and complete delamination threshold, and corresponding display colors are set according to different detection thresholds for delamination defects.

[0050] It can be understood that the embodiments of the present application can use the ultrasonic data of the reference block to correct the phased array process parameters of the phased array ultrasonic device, so as to improve the detection efficiency and accuracy.

[0051] It should be noted that the instrument parameters and focusing rules are adjusted according to the reference block, the sensitivity is calibrated, and three equivalent thresholds are set: the fully bonded area, the partially debonded area, and the debonded area.

[0052] In the embodiments of the present application, before screening the phased array probe according to the echo height and the echo height difference to perform ultrasonic detection on the actual water turbine bearing overlay layer to generate a debonding defect detection result, it further includes: obtaining the echo waveform, the projection imaging view of the actual water turbine bearing overlay layer, and the scanning path recorded by the two-dimensional encoder; generating the ultrasonic data of the actual water turbine bearing overlay layer according to the amplitude and time of the echo waveform, the projection imaging view, and the scanning path; generating the debonding defect detection result according to the ultrasonic data, the echo height, and the echo height difference.

[0053] It can be understood that the embodiments of the present application can generate a debonding defect detection result by integrating the echo waveform, the projection imaging, and the scanning path data, and combining the dynamic threshold determination rule, which improves the accuracy of generating the debonding defect detection result.

[0054] It should be noted that the present application can select real-time A-type wave amplitude display and C-type projection imaging display, add an encoder, and record the scanning path and the position and area of the debonding defect.

[0055] In the embodiments of the present application, generating the debonding defect detection result according to the ultrasonic data, the echo height, and the echo height difference includes: if the echo height of the matrix layer interface and the overlay layer interface of the actual water turbine bearing in the ultrasonic data is less than or equal to the echo height of the matrix layer and the overlay layer interface of the reference block, the current matrix and overlay layer interface is the fully bonded area; if the echo height of the matrix layer interface and the overlay layer interface of the actual water turbine bearing in the ultrasonic data is greater than the echo height of the matrix layer and the overlay layer interface of the reference block, and less than the sum of the echo height of the matrix layer and the overlay layer interface of the reference block and the echo height difference, the current matrix and overlay layer interface is the partially debonded area; if the echo height of the matrix layer interface and the overlay layer interface of the actual water turbine bearing in the ultrasonic data is greater than or equal to the sum of the echo height of the matrix layer and the overlay layer interface of the reference block and the echo height difference, the current matrix and overlay layer interface is the debonded area.

[0056] It can be understood that the embodiments of the present application can accurately identify the classification result of the debonding defect based on the threshold determination method calibrated by the reference block, and achieve high-precision, high-efficiency, and high-reliability detection of the debonding defect of the water turbine bearing overlay layer.

[0057] Specifically, for the complete bonding area: the equivalent of the reflected echo display ≤ the equivalent of the echo at the interface between the matrix and the clad layer of the reference block; for the partial delamination area: the equivalent of the echo at the interface between the matrix and the clad layer of the reference block < the equivalent of the reflected echo display < the equivalent of the echo at the interface between the clad layer and air (i.e., the equivalent of the echo at the interface between the matrix and the clad layer of the reference block + ΔH); for the delamination area: the equivalent of the reflected echo display ≥ the equivalent of the echo at the interface between the clad layer and air (i.e., the equivalent of the echo at the interface between the matrix and the clad layer of the reference block + ΔH).

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, after generating the delamination defect detection result based on the ultrasonic data, echo height, and echo height difference, it further includes: analyzing the bonding state of the global interface of the actual hydro-generator bearing bush according to the amplitude of the echo waveform and the projection imaging view; calculating the defect depth according to the time of the echo waveform, and determining the defect position coordinates according to the scanning path; generating the delamination defect detection result based on the interface bonding state, defect depth, and defect position coordinates.

[0059] It can be understood that the embodiment of the present application can analyze the bonding state, defect depth, and defect position coordinates of the global interface of the actual hydro-generator bearing bush by fusing the echo amplitude, time, imaging, and position data, and realizes the standardized, intelligent, and high-precision detection of the delamination defect of the clad layer of the hydro-generator bearing bush.

[0060] Specifically, when discriminating the phased array interface echo imaging display, the wave height values within three threshold ranges are marked with different colors for distinction to identify the defect imaging display and the interface inherent echo display. The wave amplitude equivalent and area of the incomplete delamination area and the delamination area are respectively measured, and the results are comprehensively evaluated according to the design requirements.

[0061] According to the ultrasonic detection method for the delamination defect of the clad layer of the hydro-generator bearing bush proposed in the embodiment of the present application, the first reflectivity between the matrix layer interface and the clad layer interface and the second reflectivity between the clad layer interface and the air interface are calculated by using the ultrasonic data reflected by the base layer and the clad layer of the hydro-generator bearing bush reference block respectively; the echo height difference is calculated according to the first reflectivity and the second reflectivity, where the echo height difference is the difference between the echo heights of the matrix layer interface and the clad layer interface and the echo height of the clad layer interface and the air interface; the phased array probe is selected according to the echo height and the echo height difference to perform ultrasonic detection on the clad layer of the actual hydro-generator bearing bush to generate the delamination defect detection result. Through the calibration of the reference block, the calculation of acoustic parameters, and the integration of phased array technology, the high-precision and high-efficiency detection of the delamination defect of the clad layer of the hydro-generator bearing bush is realized.

[0062] Next, it will be combined with Figure 2 The ultrasonic detection method for the delamination defect of the clad layer of the hydro-generator bearing bush of the present application will be elaborated in detail as follows:

[0063] 1. Measure the acoustic properties of the bearing bush base and the cladding layer materials: The sound velocities of the bearing bush base and the cladding layer can be measured by using an ultrasonic detector to measure the two mutually parallel large flat bottom surfaces of the base and the cladding layer, and calculated by using the first and second bottom echoes of the large flat bottom surface; it can also be obtained by the Mth and Nth bottom waves. Measure 3 times and take the average value to reduce errors. The density is determined by the ratio of weight to volume. The weight is measured by the weighing method, and the volume of irregular objects is measured by the liquid immersion drainage method.

[0064] Calculate the acoustic impedance Z = ρc of the base and cladding layer materials, where ρ is the density of the bearing bush base and cladding layer materials, and c is the sound velocity.

[0065] 2. Calculate the interface reflectivity and the echo height difference between the base and the cladding layer materials: According to the measured acoustic properties of the base and the cladding layer, calculate the interface reflectivity (R base-clad) between the base and the cladding layer, the reflectivity (R air-clad) between the cladding layer and the air interface, and the interface reflection echo height between the base and the cladding layer and the echo height difference (ΔH) between the cladding layer and the air interface.

[0066] Calculate the interface reflectivity and the echo height difference ΔH based on the acoustic parameters. Specifically:

[0067] Reflectivity of the base - cladding layer:

[0068] Reflectivity of the cladding layer - air:

[0069] Echo height difference:

[0070] Among them, R 基-覆 is the sound pressure reflectivity of the interface between the base layer and the cladding layer; Z 基 is the acoustic impedance of the base; Z 覆 is the acoustic impedance of the cladding layer, R 空-覆 is the sound pressure reflectivity of the interface between the air and the cladding layer; Z 空 is the acoustic impedance of the air, ΔH is the difference between the echo height of the interface between the base layer and the cladding layer and the echo height of the interface between the cladding layer and the air; H 基-覆 is the echo height of the interface between the base layer and the cladding layer; H 空-覆 is the echo height of the interface between the cladding layer and the air; P0 is the sound pressure at the probe.

[0071] 3. Manufacture a bearing bush comparison test block: Select the remaining materials for manufacturing the bearing bush or the base and cladding layer of the same material, acoustic performance, and specifications to process the bearing bush comparison test block, ensuring that the base and cladding layer of the comparison test block are well combined and there is no delamination.

[0072] 4. Select a phased array probe: Select the probe frequency range according to the acoustic attenuation and sound field characteristics of the bearing bush base layer and the composite layer; select the probe model according to the shape of the bearing bush to ensure good coupling between the probe and the detection surface of the bearing bush, and determine the probe size; according to the thickness of the bearing bush base body and the composite layer, select to place the probe on the base body side or the composite layer side as the detection surface to avoid the composite layer thickness being small and within the blind area of the probe initial wave.

[0073] 5. Adjust parameters and set thresholds: Place the probe on the well-bonded area of the base body and the composite layer of the bearing bush comparison test block to make the interface echo reach 80% of the full screen, and increase the gain by 3 dB as coupling compensation. Set 3 equivalent thresholds: fully bonded area (≤80% wave height), partially debonded area (80% wave height - 80% wave height + ΔH), debonded area (≥80% wave height + ΔH). Select A-type amplitude display and C-type projection real-time imaging display, and connect a two-dimensional encoder to record the probe scanning path, defect position and area.

[0074] 6. Identify the phased array interface echo imaging display: Mark the wave height values within the 3 threshold ranges with different colors for distinction. Mark the debonded area, partially debonded area and intact area with red, yellow and green respectively to achieve visual and rapid discrimination, and identify the interface debonded area, incompletely debonded area and interface inherent echo imaging display.

[0075] 7. Evaluate the debonding defects of the base layer and the composite layer: Based on the measurement of the reflected echo height and defect area at the interface between the base body and the composite layer, comprehensively evaluate the echo height and area of the incompletely bonded area and the debonded area at the interface between the base body and the composite layer.

[0076] In summary, in this application, the composite layer of the bearing bush of the hydropower unit uses polymer materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene and polyamide, which have great differences in acoustic properties from the alloy materials such as babbit alloy and tungsten-lead alloy used in thermal power units. There is no standard to rely on for the ultrasonic detection of the bearing bush of the hydropower unit, and relying on the thermal power bearing bush detection standard is likely to cause missed detection or misjudgment of defects. Conventional ultrasonic detection is manually drawn when measuring the defect area. The defect area is extremely irregular and difficult to accurately measure, and the boundaries of the debonded area and the incompletely bonded area are not easy to define, making it difficult to comprehensively evaluate the quality of the bearing bush. The present invention adopts the phased array ultrasonic multi-channel technology, sets 3 interface echo height thresholds according to the calculated height difference of the interface echo of different materials, images and displays the 3 echo height situations and assigns different color marks, and cooperates with the encoder to record the scanning path, which is convenient for identifying different regions, defining boundaries, measuring the area of various situations, and thus comprehensively evaluating. Compared with the conventional method, the detection speed is increased by more than 50%, the measurement error of the defect area is <5%, and it can be adapted to the detection of composite layers with different thicknesses (1 - 50 mm) and materials (such as polytetrafluoroethylene and polyamide), with fast detection speed, high efficiency and high precision.
