Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nondestructive testing, and in particular to a movable infrared nondestructive testing device for equipment defects based on multi-pole electric pulse thermal excitation. Background Art

[0002] Process industry equipment plays a vital role in national economic and social development. As the global energy structure transitions to a green and low-carbon one, ammonia hydrogen, as an efficient and clean energy carrier, is increasingly being used in its storage and transportation equipment. However, equipment and pipelines in new energy storage and transportation environments have long faced failure problems due to defects such as hydrogen embrittlement, stress corrosion cracking, and hydrogen-induced cracking. In particular, in liquid ammonia storage tanks, hydrogen pipelines, and ammonia decomposition reactors, hydrogen atoms penetrate into the metal lattice under high pressure or corrosive conditions, causing permanent damage to the material, a decrease in plasticity and strength, and even sudden failure, seriously threatening the safe operation of the equipment. In addition to new energy storage and transportation equipment, chemical equipment also faces defects and failures arising from long-term service. Conventional detection methods may increase operation and maintenance costs and safety risks due to equipment downtime and disassembly. Therefore, the development of a fast, non-contact, and efficient non-destructive testing technology is crucial to ensuring the safety and reliability of new energy storage and transportation and chemical equipment.

[0003] Infrared thermal imaging nondestructive testing technology is an emerging nondestructive testing technology that has emerged with the development of infrared thermal imaging technology. It identifies internal defects by capturing the temperature signal differences on the surface of an object.

[0004] However, traditional infrared thermal imaging technology is significantly affected by the environment and still has shortcomings in detection accuracy and defect recognition capabilities, especially when it comes to inspecting complex structures and detecting tiny defects. For example, using traditional laser point thermal imaging excitation methods has low detection efficiency and requires high detection conditions, increasing system complexity and cost even after optimization. Using strong pulse discharge devices offers good detection results, but the devices are bulky and heavy, and pose a high risk of operation. Summary of the Invention

The infrared thermal imager 3 is connected to the storage system 11 to store the captured images on the storage system 11. The storage system 11 is connected to the server 9 through the network transmission system 10 to transmit the stored images to the server 9 for processing. The server 9 is installed with defect image enhancement recognition software for image analysis and defect recognition.

[0032] During operation, the infrared thermal imager, test fixtures, cables, etc. are moved to the vicinity of the equipment to be tested via the movable test box 14 to prepare for the initial non-destructive testing. The six-axis robotic arm 2 of the movable test box controls the infrared thermal imager 3 to the required inspection location of the equipment to be tested, and clamps the series of test fixtures 12 to the inspection location. The series of test fixtures 12 are set on one side of the movable test box 14.

Based on the multi-pole electric pulse thermal excitation in the subsequent experimental process, the zoom lens can recapture the defects of the test piece and refocus, and feed back the clear defect image to the defect image processing and recognition system.

[0034] The infrared thermal imager 3 is connected to the server 9 of the terminal computing center through a cable bundle in a movable detection box, and sends the collected data image back to the processing and recognition system; the defect image enhancement and recognition software can perform image preprocessing, image feature extraction and defect enhancement processing on the image obtained after multi-polar electric pulse thermal excitation.

[0035] The server 9 of the terminal computing center connects the data output port of the movable detection box with the data input port of the terminal computing center, and transmits the data detected by the infrared thermal imager 3 to the storage system 11 through the network transmission system 10. The obtained data is further uploaded to the server 9 of the terminal computing center according to the detection requirements, and is processed by the defect image enhancement recognition software to obtain the detection results.

[0036] This embodiment also provides a method for infrared nondestructive detection of device defects based on multi-pole electric pulse thermal excitation, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Move the movable inspection box so that the movable inspection platform is near the equipment to be inspected, and adjust the six-axis robotic arm so that the infrared thermal imager is facing the required inspection position of the equipment to be inspected.

[0037] Step 2: Select a suitable test fixture and pulse current application method based on the specific structure and working conditions of the test area of the equipment to be tested. Connect it to the cable harness in the movable test box and then fix the test fixture to the test area, ensuring a stable connection and easy assembly and disassembly.

[0038] Figure 6 This is a flow chart of the device defect recognition method based on infrared thermal imaging in this embodiment. Figure 6 As shown, the implementation process of this method is as follows: 1) The pulse current from the pulse galvanometer array is applied to the inspection site. The current density at the crack increases regularly under the action of the pulse current, generating high temperatures through the Joule heating effect. Different excitation methods cause the temperature at the defect to be higher than that of the surrounding intact area, releasing infrared radiation.

[0039] 2) The infrared thermal imager uses a highly sensitive infrared detector to receive and convert the infrared radiation emitted by the inspection site into an electrical signal, obtain the surface temperature distribution data of the inspection site, and generate raw infrared data.

[0040] 3) After the infrared thermal imager collects data images and sends them back to the computing center, they enter the preprocessing unit: a convolutional neural network is used for denoising to improve image recognition accuracy; image cropping focuses on the main part to reduce the calculation area; and image subtraction is used to enhance contrast and highlight defect information.

[0041] 4) After preprocessing, the image is converted into a single-channel grayscale image through the radiation temperature-grayscale value conversion model, and grayscale processing is performed to reduce the data dimension and retain the original temperature distribution information.

[0042] 5) The pre-processed and grayscale-processed defect feature image set is input into a preset hybrid algorithm model that combines deep learning with a thermodynamic model to perform cross-modal data fusion. Based on the improved U-Net structure, spatial features such as the shape, size, and location of the defect area are extracted. The regression model predicts parameters such as damage degree and depth. The data is then compared with historical defect detection data for correlation analysis.

[0043] 6) Obtain the detection results of equipment defects.

Any person skilled in the art may utilize the above-disclosed technical content to modify or modify the present invention into equivalent embodiments. However, any simple modifications, equivalent variations, and modifications to the above embodiments that do not depart from the technical content of the present invention and are based on the technical essence of the present invention remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
