[0037] The present application provides an embodiment of a testing device for a heating element. Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The schematic structure diagram of a heating element testing device provided by the present application is shown. The heating element testing device includes at least a controller 100 and a circulating water cooling system 200, wherein the controller 100 is configured to perform: In response to receiving a heating test instruction, the heating element is controlled to heat up from an initial temperature value to a predetermined temperature value; in response to receiving a water cooling test instruction, the circulating water cooling system is controlled to spray cool the surface of all or part of the heating element, and / or immerse the heating element in cooling; first performance information of the heating element monitored during the heating test phase and second performance information of the heating element monitored during the water cooling test phase are obtained; and third performance information of the heating element is output based on the first performance information and the second performance information.

[0038] In some embodiments, the controller may be, but is not limited to, a programmable logic controller (PLC) or an industrial computer, etc. The controller may be communicatively connected to the heating element to be tested, and may also be communicatively connected to the circulating water cooling system and other components in the test equipment.

[0039] In some embodiments, the circulating water cooling system includes a water pump, a heat exchanger, a refrigeration unit, a spray head array and a water cooling tank (immersion tank). The water flow path is controlled by an electric valve, and two cooling treatment modes of spray cooling and immersion cooling can be achieved for the heating element.

[0040] In some embodiments, the heating unit is pre-connected to an external controllable power supply (such as a high-frequency induction power supply or a PWM adjustable power supply), which is connected to the heating element through a potential clamp and supplies power. For example, the output power of the controllable power supply can be adjusted in the range of 0-10kW.

[0041] In some optional embodiments, after receiving a heating test instruction (for example, the user clicks a test start button, or the user turns on a power switch of a controllable power supply, etc.), the controller controls the heating element to heat up from an initial temperature value to a predetermined temperature value. For example, the heating element is controlled to heat up rapidly at a power of 5kW in the initial stage (such as the stage before heating to 300°C), and is reduced to 2kW to maintain a constant temperature during the maintenance stage (such as heating to close to the target temperature of 400°C).

[0042] In some optional embodiments, during the heating test of the heating element, the controller can control the temperature monitoring sensor to monitor the real-time temperature value of the heating element, and then calculate the temperature change rate during the heating test stage / period (such as the sudden rise rate ≥ 40°C / s); it can also control the electrical parameter monitoring sensor to monitor the leakage current value, insulation performance change rate, etc. of the heating element; it can also control the morphology monitoring sensor to capture the surface cracks (such as the crack initiation and expansion process) and internal porosity of the heating element; it can also control the leakage current detector, insulation resistance tester and other electrical parameter monitoring sensors, which are respectively used to detect the leakage current value and insulation resistance change rate of the heating element.

[0043] In some optional embodiments, after the heating element reaches a predetermined temperature and stabilizes (e.g., maintaining the predetermined temperature for a predetermined period of time), the controller receives a water cooling test instruction and first controls the circulating water cooling system to activate a spray mode, spraying the heating element. For example, the circulating water cooling system's array of sprinkler heads can be controlled to activate in a predetermined sequence / timeline (e.g., top → middle → bottom) to spray water onto the heating element. For another example, the set water temperature of the sprinkler head array can be controlled within a range of 10-30°C, and the set flow rate of the sprinkler head array can be controlled within an adjustable range of 0.5-5 L / min.

[0044] In some optional embodiments, after the heating element is sprayed for 10-30 seconds, the controller can control the guide rail motor to drive the heating element (located directly above the water cooling tank) to slide vertically downward until the heating element is completely immersed in the coolant (e.g., water) in the water cooling tank to perform immersion cooling treatment on the heating element. For example, the immersion cooling treatment can be, but is not limited to, lasting for 20-60 seconds.

[0045] In some optional embodiments, during the water cooling test of the heating element, the controller can control the temperature monitoring sensor to monitor the real-time temperature value of the heating element, and then calculate the temperature change rate during the water cooling test stage / period (such as the sudden drop rate ≥ 50°C / s). It can also control the electrical parameter monitoring sensor to monitor the leakage current value, insulation performance change rate, etc. of the heating element; it can also control the morphology monitoring sensor to capture the surface cracks (such as the crack initiation and expansion process) and internal porosity of the heating element; it can also control the leakage current detector, insulation resistance tester and other electrical parameter monitoring sensors to detect the leakage current value and insulation resistance change rate of the heating element, respectively.

[0046] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned testing equipment may further include a temperature monitoring sensor such as an infrared thermal imager and a thermocouple for collecting the real-time temperature value of the heating element, for example, the surface temperature field distribution of the heating element.

[0047] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned testing equipment may further include electrical parameter monitoring sensors such as a leakage current detector and an insulation resistance tester, which are used to detect the leakage current value and the insulation resistance change rate of the heating element respectively.

[0048] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned testing equipment may also include high-speed industrial cameras (for example, frame rate ≥ 200fps), ultrasonic flaw detectors and other morphology monitoring sensors to monitor or collect surface cracks and internal porosity of the heating element respectively.

[0049] In some embodiments, the controller obtains first performance information of the heating test phase (for example, including at least one of the real-time temperature value, temperature change rate, leakage current value, surface morphology information, and internal porosity) from the above-mentioned sensors, and second performance information of the water cooling test phase (for example, including at least one of the real-time temperature value, insulation resistance change rate, temperature change rate, leakage current value, surface morphology information (such as micro-deformation caused by thermal expansion), and internal porosity).

[0050] In some embodiments, the controller performs data coupling analysis on the first and second performance information to achieve a quantitative assessment of the comprehensive performance of the heating element. For example, this may include, but is not limited to, determining the heating element's temperature field fluctuation curve, insulation failure risk index, crack propagation path, and porosity variation trend. In some embodiments, the controller may also perform a weighted calculation on the aforementioned multiple parameters based on a preset performance evaluation model (e.g., temperature stability 40%, insulation reliability 30%, and structural integrity 30%) to determine and output third performance information for the heating element. For example, this may include a comprehensive performance evaluation report that includes information such as a grade rating (A, B, C, D), failure risk warning, and process optimization recommendations.

[0051] For example, the controller can correlate the peak temperature of the heating element during the heating test phase with the temperature change rate of the heating element during the water cooling test phase, analyze the thermal stress concentration area of ​​the heating element, and obtain a temperature field fluctuation curve. For another example, the controller can also combine the leakage current value of the heating element with the insulation resistance change rate for analysis to quantify the insulation failure risk of the heating element. For another example, the controller obtains a surface image of the heating element taken by an industrial camera, processes the surface image using an edge detection algorithm to identify microcracks on the surface of the heating element (with an accuracy of 0.01mm), and uses an ultrasonic flaw detector to emit X-rays to detect changes in porosity inside the heating element. Taking the above-mentioned heating element as a heating tube (such as a thick film heating tube, a quartz glass thick film heating tube, etc.) as an example, after a certain heating tube undergoes a water cooling test, the surface of the heating tube has no cracks and the internal porosity has not increased.

[0052] The heating element testing equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application controls the heating element under test and the circulating water cooling system through a controller, thereby realizing a full-process automated test of the heating element, from thermal shock simulation to rapid water cooling simulation, and then to performance quantitative evaluation. This improves the consistency between the temperature changes of the simulated test conditions and the actual conditions (rapid heating and cooling) of the heating element, thereby enabling a comprehensive and accurate evaluation of the reliability of the heating element. This solves the problem of the inaccurate test conditions of traditional testing schemes leading to the inability to comprehensively evaluate the reliability of the heating element, and provides support for the industrial upgrading of heating elements.

[0053] Through the above optional implementation methods, the testing equipment provided by the embodiment of the present invention can break through the limitations of traditional single parameter testing schemes, and by comprehensively evaluating the performance information of heating elements, thereby improving the product qualification rate of heating elements and effectively improving the reliability and production efficiency of heating elements.

[0054] In one possible implementation, the controller is further configured to execute: In response to receiving a heating test instruction, the controllable power supply is controlled to supply power to the heating element at a constant power or a gradient power; the heating rate of the heating element is determined according to the constant power or the gradient power; and the heating element is controlled to heat up from an initial temperature value to a predetermined temperature value according to the heating rate.

[0055] In some embodiments, after receiving the heating test instruction, the controller can select the power mode and configure the parameters. The controller retrieves the corresponding power control mode (constant power or gradient power) and related parameters from the stored parameter library according to the preset test conditions. For example, if a basic performance test is performed on a heating element, a constant power mode can be selected, and the power value range can be set to 1-5kW (which can be adjusted according to the specifications of the heating element); if the heating element is tested under simulated actual working conditions, a gradient power mode can be used, such as rapidly increasing the temperature at maximum power in the initial stage (such as 5kW), and reducing the power (such as 2kW) when approaching the target temperature to avoid overshoot.

[0056] Afterwards, the controller controls the infrared thermal imager to collect the current temperature value of the heating element in real time, for example, the surface temperature value of the heating element (predetermined sampling frequency ≥ 10Hz), and then calculates the ratio of the temperature difference between adjacent time points to the time interval to obtain the instantaneous heating rate of the heating element. For example, when the current temperature value of the heating element changes from When the heating rate is calculated, the formula is: .

[0057] In some optional embodiments, in constant power mode, the controller controls the controllable power supply to maintain a set power output while monitoring whether the heating element's heating rate is stable within a desired range (e.g., 100-300°C / min). If the measured heating element's heating rate is lower than the target rate within the desired range, the output power of the controllable power supply is fine-tuned. If the measured current temperature of the heating element is close to a predetermined temperature value (e.g., a deviation of ≤10°C), a PID algorithm is activated to precisely control the output power of the controllable power supply to reduce temperature fluctuations.

[0058] In some optional embodiments, in gradient power mode, the controller can dynamically adjust the output power of the controllable power supply according to a preset power-temperature curve. For example, in the initial stage (current temperature < 60% of the target temperature), the controllable power supply is controlled to output at maximum power to allow the heating element to heat up quickly. In the intermediate stage (current temperature reaches 60%-90% of the target temperature), the output power of the controllable power supply is reduced according to a linear gradient to slow the heating element's heating rate. In the final stage (current temperature exceeds 90% of the target temperature), the controllable power supply is maintained at a low power output to achieve precise temperature control.

[0059] During this process, the controller can also continuously compare the measured heating rate with the theoretical heating rate, and use the proportional integral differential algorithm to correct the power output of the controllable power supply in real time to ensure the uniformity of the temperature field distribution of the heating element (such as radial temperature difference ≤15°C).

[0060] Finally, when the current temperature of the heating element reaches the predetermined value and stabilizes within the target range (e.g., fluctuation ≤ ±2°C for 5 minutes), the controller determines that the heating test phase is complete and automatically triggers the subsequent water cooling test process. Simultaneously, the first performance information of the heating element collected by each sensor during the heating test is stored in the database for subsequent analysis coupled with the water cooling test data.

[0061] Through the above implementation, the heating process of the heating element can be accurately controlled, solving the problems of temperature overshoot and uncontrollable heating rate in traditional testing methods, and effectively improving test efficiency and data accuracy.

[0062] In one possible implementation, Figure 2 As shown, the heating element test equipment further includes: an infrared thermal imager 300, a leakage current detector 400, an industrial camera 500, and an ultrasonic flaw detector 600, which are respectively connected to the controller 100; during the heating test phase and the water cooling test phase, the controller is further configured to perform at least one of the following: Control the infrared thermal imager to detect the real-time temperature value of the heating element.

[0063] The leakage current detector is controlled to detect the leakage current value of the heating element.

[0064] The insulation resistance tester is controlled to detect the insulation resistance change rate of the heating element.

[0065] Control the industrial camera to capture the surface morphology information of the heating element.

[0066] The ultrasonic flaw detector is controlled to detect at least one of the internal porosities of the heating element.

[0067] The temperature change rate of the heating element is determined according to the real-time temperature value of the heating element.

[0068] In some embodiments, the testing equipment for the heating element of the present application is further equipped with monitoring sensors such as an infrared thermal imager, a leakage current detector, an industrial camera, and an ultrasonic flaw detector on the basis of a controller and a circulating water cooling system to form a closed-loop control system.

[0069] like Figure 3As shown, the heating element 301 is suspended above the water cooling tank 305 through a support rod 302 (slidably arranged on a guide rail 303) and a potential clamp 304. The infrared thermal imager 300 and the industrial camera 500 are symmetrically arranged (as shown in the attached figure). Figure 3 A, B, and C test steps in the test); the thermocouple 306 is used to collect the real-time temperature value of the heating element 301 in real time, and the leakage current detector 400 collects the electrical signal of the heating element 301 through the potential clamp 304; the ultrasonic flaw detector 600 is attached to the outside of the water-cooling tank 305 and penetrates to detect the internal pores of the heating element 301.

[0070] In some embodiments, the controller controls an infrared thermal imager to scan the surface of the heating element in real time (such as in test step A, the infrared thermal imager measures the temperature of the suspended heating tube), detects the current temperature value of the heating element point by point, and obtains the temperature change rate (such as the temperature difference per unit time / time interval) through algorithm fitting calculation; controls an industrial camera (such as the high-speed industrial camera in test step A) to capture the surface morphology of the heating element during the heating process (such as whether micro-deformation caused by thermal expansion occurs); controls an ultrasonic flaw detector to emit ultrasonic waves, receive echoes after penetrating the heating element, and analyze the internal porosity of the heating element.

[0071] In some embodiments, the controller drives a circulating water cooling system (such as in the A→B→C test steps, the heating element moves downward along a scaled guide motor, first spray-cooled and then immersed in cooling), and simultaneously controls the infrared thermal imager to continuously monitor the surface temperature of the heating element (such as in the B test step and the C test step, tracking the temperature drop rate of the water cooling process), and updates the temperature change rate data; controls the leakage current detector to collect the leakage current value under the water cooling environment (humidity, sudden temperature change) (compared with the heating test stage to determine the change in insulation performance); controls the industrial camera to capture the surface morphology under water cooling shock (such as in the B→C state, whether cracks are generated due to thermal shock); and controls the ultrasonic flaw detector to re-detect the internal porosity of the heating element (compared before heating / before water cooling to determine whether the heat-water coupling stress causes pore expansion).

[0072] Combined with attachment Figure 3 The control process of mid-suspension (heating test) → lowering → immersion (water cooling test) (the guide motor with a scale accurately controls the immersion depth / speed of the heating element), infrared thermal imaging, electrical testing, image recognition, ultrasonic flaw detection and other simultaneous dynamic monitoring truly reproduce the "heating-quenching-humidification" cycle of the heating element in actual use, solving the problem of disconnection between traditional test conditions and actual conditions.

[0073] The embodiments of this application break through the limitations of traditional single-parameter testing through cross-physical domain testing of infrared (temperature), electrical (leakage current), optical (surface morphology), and acoustic (internal porosity), and completely restore the performance degradation path under thermal-water coupling conditions (such as internal porosity first generated by thermal stress, then expanded into surface cracks due to water cooling shock, and ultimately causing leakage current to exceed the standard). By linking monitoring data in stages and across multiple devices, the root cause of failure of the heating element can be located (such as whether surface cracks are caused by thermal stress from uneven heating or mechanical stress from water cooling shock), providing a quantitative basis for process optimization of the heating element (such as adjusting the thickness of the dielectric layer and improving the water cooling flow rate), which can in turn support the improvement of the product reliability of the heating element.

[0074] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned infrared thermal imager can be, but is not limited to, a high-precision non-contact infrared thermal imager with a wavelength of 8-14 μm, a temperature measurement range of -20°C to 1500°C, and an accuracy of ±0.5°C (the specific values ​​in the embodiments of this application are only achievable embodiments and are not specifically limited. They can be set or modified according to actual test requirements, subject to the ability to implement the test solution provided in this application).

[0075] Optionally, the infrared thermal imager can be pre-fixed with a bracket directly above the heating element, with the monitoring area covering ≥95% of the surface of the heating element. Optionally, the infrared thermal imager is connected to the controller via a USB3.0 interface, with a sampling frequency ≥10Hz.

[0076] In some embodiments, the leakage current detector can use a microcurrent measurement module with a range of 0-10mA and a resolution of 0.01μA, which is connected in series with the ground terminal of the heating element and transmits data to the controller through a 4-20mA analog interface for real-time monitoring of the leakage current changes of the heating element.

[0077] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned industrial camera can be an industrial high-speed industrial camera with a frame rate ≥200fps and a resolution ≥1920×1080. For example, it can be installed on the side of the heating element, equipped with LED light source, and connected to the controller through a Gigabit Ethernet interface to capture the surface crack expansion process of the heating element.

[0078] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic flaw detector can be a multi-channel ultrasonic flaw detector with a frequency range of 2-10 MHz, using an ultrasonic probe array (disposed on the bottom and sides of the heating element) for non-contact testing. For example, the ultrasonic flaw detector is connected to a controller via a PCIe interface to detect changes in the internal porosity of the heating element.

[0079] In some embodiments, while controlling the heating element to heat up, the controller simultaneously starts the infrared thermal imager to collect the current surface temperature value of the heating element at a frequency of 10 Hz. It also controls the leakage current detector to monitor the current value of the heating element in real time through the potential clamp. When abnormal current fluctuations are detected (such as a rate of change > 5% / second), the controller triggers the early warning mechanism and records the corresponding temperature point. It also controls the industrial camera (such as at a frame rate of 50fps) to record the surface morphology changes of the heating element during the heating process, and identifies micro-deformations caused by thermal expansion through an image difference algorithm (accuracy ≥ 0.01mm). It also controls the ultrasonic flaw detector to emit an ultrasonic pulse to the heating element every 5 seconds, and calculates the internal porosity of the heating element by analyzing the attenuation degree of the echo signal.

[0080] In some embodiments, during the water cooling test phase, the controller can control the infrared thermal imager to switch to a 20Hz high-frequency sampling mode, focusing on monitoring the temperature drop rate during the water cooling process (e.g., target value ≥ 50°C / s) and calculating the consistency of the temperature change rate. The leakage current detector can also be controlled to continuously monitor current changes. When a current surge is detected (e.g., growth rate > 200%), the current temperature value and temperature change rate at the corresponding moment are synchronously recorded. The industrial camera can also be controlled to switch to a 200fps ultra-high-speed mode to capture the crack initiation process at the moment of spraying, and identify the crack starting position and expansion direction of the heating element through an edge detection algorithm. The ultrasonic flaw detector performs a secondary inspection after the heating element is immersed in cooling, compares the echo signals before and after heating, and calculates the porosity change multiple of the heating element.

[0081] In some embodiments, the controller calculates the temperature change rate using a time difference algorithm based on the current temperature value collected by the infrared thermal imager: Where T(t) is the current temperature, T(t-1) is the previous temperature, and Δt is the sampling interval (0.1 seconds during the heating test phase and 0.05 seconds during the water-cooling test phase). The controller compares the temperature change rate with the preset curve in real time (for example, a target rate of 100-300°C / min during the heating test phase and a target rate of ≥50°C / s during the water-cooling test phase) and dynamically adjusts the heating power or water-cooling parameters using a PID algorithm.

[0082] In one possible implementation, the controller is further configured to execute: In response to receiving a water cooling test instruction, the guide rail motor is controlled to slide the support rod to a first predetermined position, wherein the support rod is slidably arranged on the guide rail motor, and at least one heating element to be tested is fixed on the support rod; after the guide rail motor is controlled to slide the support rod to the first predetermined position, the circulating water cooling system is controlled to spray-cool the surface of all or part of the heating element; after the spray cooling treatment is completed, the guide rail motor is controlled to slide the support rod to a second predetermined position; after the guide rail motor is controlled to slide the support rod to the second predetermined position, the circulating water cooling system is controlled to immerse the heating element.

[0083] In some embodiments, in the test equipment, a scaled guide motor is mounted parallel to the water cooling tank, and a support rod is slidably connected to the guide motor via a slider (e.g. Figure 3 In the test steps A, B, and C shown, the support rod changes position with the displacement of the guide motor). The heating element is fixed to the support rod by a potential clamp (single or multiple testing is possible).

[0084] When the controller receives the water cooling test instruction, the controller controls the guide rail motor to drive the support rod to slide from the initial hanging position (such as in test step A, the heating tube is suspended above the water cooling tank) to the first predetermined position (the distance between the bottom of the heating element and the liquid level of the water cooling tank is ≤ the spray coverage height, such as 5-10cm, to ensure that the spray water curtain can cover the surface of the heating tube), such as test step A → test step B, and the support rod moves vertically.

[0085] After detecting that the support rod reaches the first predetermined position, the controller triggers the spray head array of the circulating water cooling system (such as multiple spray heads arranged above and / or on the side of the water cooling tank), and continuously sprays the surface of the heating element for a set time (such as 10-30 seconds) at a set flow rate (such as 0.5-2L / min) and a predetermined water temperature (such as 5-30°C).

[0086] After the spray cooling process is complete, the controller again controls the guide motor to drive the support rod to a second predetermined position (so that the heating element is fully aligned with the water cooling tank opening and the liquid level covers the heating tube after immersion). As in test step C, the heating element moves vertically downward to directly above the water cooling tank. During this movement, the ultrasonic flaw detector can be triggered in advance to pre-scan the changes in the heating element's internal pores after the spray (for example, to determine whether the thermal stress caused by the spray has caused pore expansion).

[0087] The controller controls the guide rail motor to drive the support rod to move downward in the vertical direction (or to move the water cooling tank upward and downward in a linked manner). After the support rod reaches the second predetermined position, the heating element is completely immersed in the water cooling tank (such as in test step C, the heating tube is completely immersed in the water cooling tank), and the cooling is continued for a set time (such as 20-60 seconds).

[0088] By controlling the spatial displacement of the heating element in hovering, spraying, and immersion through the guide rail motor, the complex scenarios of exposure, water spraying, and immersion in actual applications are realistically simulated, solving the problem of the disconnection between traditional static water cooling testing and actual working conditions. In addition, the test equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application can also support differentiated testing of single / multiple heating elements (such as fixing multiple heating elements on a support rod, partially spraying, partially immersed, etc.). By comparing the performance data of different test positions and different water cooling processes, it provides an optimization basis for the production process of the heating element (such as the uniformity of the dielectric layer coating and the design of the waterproof structure).

[0089] In one possible implementation, the controller is further configured to execute: The heating element is controlled to slide toward the circulating water cooling system; in the process of the heating element sliding toward the circulating water cooling system, the circulating water cooling system is controlled to spray cooling treatment on the surface of all or part of the heating element, and after the heating element has completely slid into the circulating water cooling system, the circulating water cooling system is controlled to immerse cooling treatment on the heating element.

[0090] In one possible implementation, during the process of the heating element sliding toward the circulating water cooling system, the circulating water cooling system is controlled to perform spray cooling treatment on the surface of all or part of the heating element, including: during the process of the heating element sliding toward the circulating water cooling system, predetermined spray control parameters are obtained, wherein the predetermined spray control parameters include at least one of a predetermined water temperature and a predetermined flow rate; according to the predetermined spray control parameters, the circulating water cooling system is controlled to perform spray cooling treatment on the surface of all or part of the heating element.

[0091] In some embodiments, the controller can retrieve predetermined spray control parameters corresponding to the test conditions from a preset database, for example: standard test conditions: predetermined water temperature 20℃±0.5℃, predetermined flow rate 2L / min±0.1L / min; extreme thermal shock conditions: predetermined water temperature 10℃±0.5℃, predetermined flow rate 4L / min±0.1L / min; the above values ​​are all embodiments, but are not limited to this.

[0092] In some embodiments, the water cooling tank of the circulating water cooling system is located at the end of the guide rail motor, the depth of the water cooling tank is ≥ 1.2 times the height of the heating element, and a built-in circulating water pump and temperature sensor are connected to an external water source through the water inlet and drained through the water outlet.

[0093] When the control controller controls the guide rail motor and the support rod drives the heating element to the bottom of the spray head array of the circulating water cooling system, the corresponding spray head is controlled to open, and the surface of part of the heating element is sprayed and cooled according to the predetermined water temperature of 20°C and the predetermined flow rate of 2L / min. As the heating element continues to slide, the corresponding spray heads are opened in sequence (such as at a time interval of 0.2 seconds) to spray and cool the surfaces of all the heating elements.

[0094] When the support rod drives the heating element to slide completely into the water cooling tank of the circulating water cooling system, that is, the heating element is completely immersed in the coolant in the water cooling tank, the circulating water pump in the water cooling tank runs at a flow rate of 30L / min to ensure uniform coolant temperature; after the immersion cooling process continues for a predetermined period of time (such as 30s), the controller controls the guide rail motor to drive the heating element on the support rod to rise to the initial suspension height, completing the cooling process.

[0095] With this implementation, the controller coordinates the mechanical movement of the heating element with the multi-stage cooling action of the circulating water cooling system to achieve continuous, gradient cooling of the heating element, realizes a gradient transition from rapid surface cooling to deep internal cooling, and realizes dynamic and precise control of the cooling process of the heating element, avoiding the thermal stress concentration problem caused by direct immersion cooling of the heating element in traditional testing schemes.

[0096] In one possible implementation, the controller is further configured to perform: coupling analysis of the real-time temperature value and temperature change rate in the first performance information and the temperature change rate in the second performance information to obtain the temperature field fluctuation curve of the heating element; performing time-series comparison of the leakage current value and insulation resistance change rate in the first performance information with the corresponding parameters in the second performance information to determine the insulation failure risk index of the heating element under thermal-water coupling stress; based on the surface morphology information and internal porosity in the first performance information and the second performance information, extracting the crack propagation path and porosity change trend of the heating element through an image recognition algorithm; according to a preset performance evaluation model, performing weighted calculation on the temperature field fluctuation curve, insulation failure risk index, crack propagation path and porosity change trend to generate a comprehensive performance evaluation report of the heating element as the third performance information.

[0097] In some embodiments, after obtaining the first performance information (test data from the heating test phase) and the second performance information (test data from the water cooling test phase), the controller performs the following steps to implement a comprehensive performance evaluation of the heating element: First, the controller aligns the real-time temperature values ​​during the heating test phase with the temperature change rate during the water-cooling test phase, generating a continuous temperature field fluctuation curve using an interpolation algorithm. The specific process involves synchronizing the temperature data collected by the infrared thermal imager during the heating test phase (e.g., with a sampling rate of 10 Hz) with the temperature change rate data during the water-cooling test phase (e.g., with a sampling rate of 20 Hz), using timestamps as indexes. The ratio of the temperature difference between adjacent time points to the time interval is calculated to obtain the instantaneous temperature change rate. After smoothing using a sliding window, a complete temperature field fluctuation curve is generated, from which characteristic parameters such as the peak temperature point, the fluctuation range of the constant temperature section, the maximum temperature change rate (e.g., a sudden drop rate ≥ 50°C / s), and its duration are extracted.

[0098] Next, the controller compares the leakage current values ​​during the heating test phase with the rate of change of insulation resistance during the water-cooling test phase to construct a risk index model. Specifically, the controller calculates the growth rate of the leakage current after water-cooling compared to before heating (e.g., growth rate = [(current after water-cooling - current before heating) / current before heating] × 100%) and analyzes the insulation resistance decay slope over time (e.g., rate of decrease per unit time). This is combined with preset thresholds (e.g., leakage current > 1mA, insulation resistance < 50MΩ) and the peak temperature point in the temperature field fluctuation curve (e.g., the insulation risk factor doubles at temperatures > 350°C) to generate an insulation failure risk index. For example, a high-risk condition is determined when the leakage current growth rate exceeds 200% and the insulation resistance decay slope is greater than 0.5MΩ / s.

[0099] Furthermore, the controller uses image recognition algorithms to extract crack propagation paths and porosity trends based on surface topography and internal porosity data from the heating and water-cooling phases. This is achieved by preprocessing the surface images captured by the industrial camera (e.g., Gaussian filtering and edge enhancement), identifying the crack initiation location (typically in the area with the maximum temperature gradient) using the frame difference method, and calculating the crack length and propagation direction using the Hough transform. Simultaneously, the ultrasonic grayscale image is thresholded, the porosity region is extracted, and its area percentage is calculated. Time series comparison is then used to quantify the porosity change from the initial value (e.g., 0.8%) to the post-water-cooling value.

[0100] Finally, based on a pre-set performance evaluation model, the controller weights the temperature field fluctuation curve, insulation failure risk index, crack propagation path, and porosity variation trend (e.g., 40% for temperature stability, 30% for insulation reliability, and 30% for structural integrity). This generates a comprehensive score, categorized as A, B, C, or D. The evaluation report includes: 1) a summary of core performance indicators (temperature response, insulation parameters, and structural defects); 2) a failure risk warning (with weak areas and potential failure modes highlighted); 3) test optimization recommendations (e.g., adjusting the heating power curve or improving the water cooling flow rate); and 4) data visualization charts (temperature field cloud diagram, insulation parameter time series diagram, and dynamic evolution diagram of the crack propagation path).

[0101] Through the above implementation method, a full-process automated evaluation from multi-dimensional data collection to failure mechanism analysis is achieved, which solves the problem that traditional testing methods only focus on a single test parameter and cannot reproduce actual working conditions, and effectively improves the test reliability and production efficiency of heating components.

[0102] In one possible implementation, the controller is further configured to perform: cross-validation of the real-time temperature value in the first performance information and the temperature change rate in the second performance information to obtain the temperature response time of the heating element during the thermal shock process; time-series comparison of the leakage current value and the insulation resistance change rate in the first performance information with the corresponding parameters in the second performance information to determine the insulation failure risk index of the heating element under thermal-water coupling stress; based on the surface morphology information and internal porosity in the first performance information and the second performance information, extracting the crack propagation path and porosity change trend of the heating element through an image recognition algorithm; according to a preset performance evaluation model, weighted calculation is performed based on the temperature response time, insulation failure risk index, crack propagation path and porosity change trend to generate a comprehensive performance evaluation report of the heating element as the third performance information.

[0103] In some embodiments, the controller performs a deep coupling analysis of the first performance information during the heating test phase and the second performance information during the water cooling test phase to achieve a quantitative evaluation of the comprehensive performance of the heating element: During the data acquisition phase, the first performance information is collected during the heating test phase. An infrared thermal imager captures the surface temperature distribution of the heating element in real time, and the temperature change rate is calculated using a differential algorithm. A leakage current detector simultaneously monitors the current value in the power-on state. An industrial camera captures surface topography changes during the heating process (such as micro-deformations caused by thermal expansion). An ultrasonic flaw detector detects the initial state of internal porosity. Secondary performance information is collected simultaneously during the water cooling test phase. This includes the temperature change rate monitored by the infrared thermal imager, the resistance decay trend recorded by the insulation resistance tester, the crack initiation process captured by the industrial camera, and the pore expansion detected by the ultrasonic flaw detector.

[0104] In some embodiments, the controller performs data coupling analysis on the first and second performance information, aligning the real-time temperature values ​​during the heating test phase with the temperature change rate during the water-cooling test phase. Using an interpolation algorithm, the controller generates a continuous temperature field fluctuation curve, extracting characteristic parameters such as the peak temperature point, the fluctuation range of the constant temperature section, and the maximum temperature change rate (e.g., a sudden drop rate ≥ 50°C / s). Simultaneously, the controller performs a correlation analysis between the leakage current value during the heating test phase and the insulation resistance change rate during the water-cooling test phase, calculating the correlation between the current growth rate of the heating element and the insulation resistance change rate (e.g., when the leakage current growth rate exceeds 200%, the insulation resistance attenuation slope increases simultaneously).

[0105] In some embodiments, the controller can also use image recognition algorithms to perform frame difference analysis on the surface topography of the heating element before and after the heating test and during the water cooling process, identifying the initiation location of cracks in the heating element (typically in the area with the maximum temperature gradient) and calculating the propagation rate. Ultrasonic grayscale image comparison algorithms can also be used to quantify the change in the internal porosity of the heating element from the initial value to the post-water cooling process. For example, if a 0.05mm microcrack is detected on the surface, the temperature field distribution and porosity change in the corresponding area are simultaneously analyzed.

[0106] In some embodiments, the controller may also normalize the aforementioned characteristic parameters based on a preset weighting system (e.g., 40% for temperature stability, 30% for insulation reliability, and 30% for structural integrity), then perform a weighted calculation to determine a comprehensive score and evaluation report for the heating element. The controller may also categorize the heating element into Grade A, Grade B, Grade C, or Grade D based on the comprehensive score. In some embodiments, the evaluation report may include visual data such as temperature field cloud maps, insulation parameter time series diagrams, and crack propagation path dynamic evolution diagrams, and automatically generate decision recommendations for different grades of heating element products: for example, direct release may be recommended for Grade A products, adjustment of the heating power gradient or water cooling flow rate parameters may be recommended for Grade C products, and direct determination of unqualified products for Grade D products with traceability of production process parameters.

[0107] Through the above-mentioned implementation mode, the present invention realizes the full-process automated evaluation from multi-dimensional data collection to failure mechanism analysis, solves the problem that traditional testing methods only focus on a single test parameter and cannot reproduce actual working conditions, and effectively improves the product qualification rate and service life of heating elements.

[0108] The present application provides an embodiment of a method for testing a heating element. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The following is a schematic flow chart of a method for testing a heating element provided by the present application. As an example and not a limitation, the method can be applied to or run in a heating element testing device. The method includes: S401 , in response to receiving a heating test instruction, controlling a heating element to heat up from an initial temperature value to a predetermined temperature value.

[0109] S402 , in response to receiving the water cooling test instruction, controlling the circulating water cooling system to perform spray cooling treatment on the surface of all or part of the heating elements, and / or performing immersion cooling treatment on the heating elements.

[0110] S403 : Acquire first performance information of the heating element monitored during the heating test phase, and second performance information of the heating element monitored during the water cooling test phase.

[0111] S404: Output third performance information of the heating element according to the first performance information and the second performance information.

[0112] In some embodiments, the controller may be, but is not limited to, a programmable logic controller (PLC) or an industrial computer, etc. The controller may be communicatively connected to the heating element to be tested, and may also be communicatively connected to the circulating water cooling system and other components in the test equipment.

[0113] In some embodiments, the circulating water cooling system includes a water pump, a heat exchanger, a refrigeration unit, a spray head array and a water cooling tank (immersion tank). The water flow path is controlled by an electric valve, and two cooling treatment modes of spray cooling and immersion cooling can be achieved for the heating element.

[0114] In some embodiments, the heating unit is pre-connected to an external controllable power supply (such as a high-frequency induction power supply or a PWM adjustable power supply), which is connected to the heating element through a potential clamp and supplies power. For example, the output power of the controllable power supply can be adjusted in the range of 0-10kW.

[0115] In some optional embodiments, after receiving a heating test instruction (for example, the user clicks a test start button, or the user turns on a power switch of a controllable power supply, etc.), the controller controls the heating element to heat up from an initial temperature value to a predetermined temperature value. For example, the heating element is controlled to heat up rapidly at a power of 5kW in the initial stage (such as the stage before heating to 300°C), and is reduced to 2kW to maintain a constant temperature during the maintenance stage (such as heating to close to the target temperature of 400°C).

[0116] In some optional embodiments, during the heating test of the heating element, the controller can control the temperature monitoring sensor to monitor the real-time temperature value of the heating element, and then calculate the temperature change rate during the heating test stage / period (such as the sudden rise rate ≥ 40°C / s); it can also control the electrical parameter monitoring sensor to monitor the leakage current value, insulation performance change rate, etc. of the heating element; it can also control the morphology monitoring sensor to capture the surface cracks (such as the crack initiation and expansion process) and internal porosity of the heating element; it can also control the leakage current detector, insulation resistance tester and other electrical parameter monitoring sensors, which are respectively used to detect the leakage current value and insulation resistance change rate of the heating element.

[0117] In some optional embodiments, after the heating element reaches a predetermined temperature and stabilizes (e.g., maintaining the predetermined temperature for a predetermined period of time), the controller receives a water cooling test instruction and first controls the circulating water cooling system to activate a spray mode, spraying the heating element. For example, the circulating water cooling system's array of sprinkler heads can be controlled to activate in a predetermined sequence / timeline (e.g., top → middle → bottom) to spray water onto the heating element. For another example, the set water temperature of the sprinkler head array can be controlled within a range of 10-30°C, and the set flow rate of the sprinkler head array can be controlled within an adjustable range of 0.5-5 L / min.

[0118] In some optional embodiments, after the heating element is sprayed for 10-30 seconds, the controller can control the guide rail motor to drive the heating element (located directly above the water cooling tank) to slide vertically downward until the heating element is completely immersed in the coolant (water) in the water cooling tank to perform immersion cooling treatment on the heating element. For example, the immersion cooling treatment can be but is not limited to lasting for 20-60 seconds.

[0119] In some optional embodiments, during the water cooling test of the heating element, the controller can control the temperature monitoring sensor to monitor the real-time temperature value of the heating element, and then calculate the temperature change rate during the water cooling test stage / period (such as the sudden drop rate ≥ 50°C / s). It can also control the electrical parameter monitoring sensor to monitor the leakage current value, insulation performance change rate, etc. of the heating element; it can also control the morphology monitoring sensor to capture the surface cracks (such as the crack initiation and expansion process) and internal porosity of the heating element; it can also control the leakage current detector, insulation resistance tester and other electrical parameter monitoring sensors to detect the leakage current value and insulation resistance change rate of the heating element, respectively.

[0120] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned testing equipment may further include a temperature monitoring sensor such as an infrared thermal imager and a thermocouple for collecting the real-time temperature value of the heating element, for example, the surface temperature field distribution of the heating element.

[0121] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned testing equipment may further include electrical parameter monitoring sensors such as a leakage current detector and an insulation resistance tester, which are used to detect the leakage current value and the insulation resistance change rate of the heating element respectively.

[0122] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned testing equipment may also include high-speed industrial cameras (for example, frame rate ≥ 200fps), ultrasonic flaw detectors and other morphology monitoring sensors to monitor or collect surface cracks and internal porosity of the heating element respectively.

[0123] In some embodiments, the controller obtains first performance information of the heating test phase (for example, including at least one of the real-time temperature value, temperature change rate, leakage current value, surface morphology information, and internal porosity) from the above-mentioned sensors, and second performance information of the water cooling test phase (for example, including at least one of the real-time temperature value, insulation resistance change rate, temperature change rate, leakage current value, surface morphology information (such as micro-deformation caused by thermal expansion), and internal porosity).

[0124] In some embodiments, the controller performs data coupling analysis on the first and second performance information to achieve a quantitative assessment of the comprehensive performance of the heating element. For example, this may include, but is not limited to, determining the heating element's temperature field fluctuation curve, insulation failure risk index, crack propagation path, and porosity variation trend. In some embodiments, the controller may also perform a weighted calculation on the above parameters based on a preset performance evaluation model (e.g., temperature stability 40%, insulation reliability 30%, and structural integrity 30%) to determine and output third performance information for the heating element. For example, this may include a comprehensive performance evaluation report that includes information such as a grade rating (A, B, C, D), failure risk warning, and process optimization recommendations.

[0125] For example, the controller can correlate the peak temperature of the heating element during the heating test phase with the temperature change rate of the heating element during the water cooling test phase, analyze the thermal stress concentration area of ​​the heating element, and obtain a temperature field fluctuation curve. For another example, the controller can also combine the leakage current value of the heating element with the insulation resistance change rate for analysis to quantify the insulation failure risk of the heating element. For another example, the controller obtains a surface image of the heating element taken by an industrial camera, processes the surface image using an edge detection algorithm to identify microcracks on the surface of the heating element (with an accuracy of 0.01mm), and uses an ultrasonic flaw detector to emit X-rays to detect changes in porosity inside the heating element. Taking the above-mentioned heating element as a heating tube (such as a thick film heating tube, a quartz glass thick film heating tube, etc.) as an example, after a certain heating tube undergoes a water cooling test, the surface of the heating tube has no cracks and the internal porosity has not increased.

[0126] The test equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application controls the heating element under test and the circulating water cooling system through a controller, thereby realizing a full-process automated test of the heating element, from thermal shock simulation to rapid water cooling simulation, and then to performance quantitative evaluation. This improves the consistency between the temperature changes of the simulated test conditions and the actual conditions (rapid heating and cooling) of the heating element, thereby enabling a comprehensive and accurate evaluation of the reliability of the heating element. This solves the problem of inaccurate test conditions in traditional testing schemes that makes it impossible to comprehensively evaluate the reliability of the heating element, and provides support for the industrial upgrading of heating elements.

[0127] Through the above optional implementation methods, the testing equipment provided by the embodiment of the present invention can break through the limitations of traditional single parameter testing schemes, and by comprehensively evaluating the performance information of heating elements, thereby improving the product qualification rate of heating elements and effectively improving the reliability and production efficiency of heating elements.

[0128] In one possible implementation, during the heating test phase and the water cooling test phase, the method further includes at least one of the following: Control the infrared thermal imager to detect the real-time temperature value of the heating element; controlling a leakage current detector to detect a leakage current value of the heating element; controlling the insulation resistance tester to detect the insulation resistance change rate of the heating element; Control the industrial camera to capture the surface morphology information of the heating element; controlling the ultrasonic flaw detector to detect at least one of the internal porosity of the heating element; The temperature change rate of the heating element is determined according to the real-time temperature value of the heating element.

[0129] In some embodiments, the testing equipment for the heating element of the present application is further equipped with monitoring sensors such as an infrared thermal imager, a leakage current detector, an industrial camera, and an ultrasonic flaw detector on the basis of a controller and a circulating water cooling system to form a closed-loop control system.

[0130] Still Figure 3 As shown, the heating element is suspended above the water cooling tank through a support rod (slidably arranged on the guide rail) and a potential clamp. The infrared thermal imager and industrial camera are symmetrically arranged (as shown in the attached figure). Figure 3 In test steps A, B, and C, the infrared thermal imager fixedly monitors the surface temperature of the heating element; the leakage current detector collects the electrical signal of the heating element through the potential clamp; and the ultrasonic flaw detector is attached to the outside of the water cooling tank and penetrates to detect the internal pores of the heating element.

[0131] In some embodiments, the controller controls an infrared thermal imager to scan the surface of the heating element in real time (such as in test step A, the infrared thermal imager measures the temperature of the suspended heating tube), detects the current temperature value of the heating element point by point, and obtains the temperature change rate (such as the temperature difference per unit time / time interval) through algorithm fitting calculation; controls an industrial camera (such as the high-speed industrial camera in test step A) to capture the surface morphology of the heating element during the heating process (such as whether micro-deformation caused by thermal expansion occurs); controls an ultrasonic flaw detector to emit ultrasonic waves, receive echoes after penetrating the heating element, and analyze the internal porosity of the heating element.

[0132] In some embodiments, the controller drives a circulating water cooling system (such as in the A→B→C test steps, the heating element moves downward along a motor with a scaled guide rail, first spray-cooled and then immersed in cooling), and simultaneously controls the infrared thermal imager to continuously monitor the surface temperature of the heating element (such as in the B test step and the C test step, tracking the temperature drop rate of the water cooling process), and updates the temperature change rate data; controls the leakage current detector to collect the leakage current value under the water cooling environment (humidity, sudden temperature change) (compared with the heating test stage to determine the change in insulation performance); controls the industrial camera to capture the surface morphology under water cooling shock (such as in the B→C state, whether cracks are generated due to thermal shock); and controls the ultrasonic flaw detector to re-detect the internal porosity of the heating element (compared before heating / before water cooling to determine whether the heat-water coupling stress causes pore expansion).

[0133] Combining the control process of suspension (heating test) → lowering → immersion (water cooling test) (with a scaled guide motor to precisely control the immersion depth / speed of the heating element), infrared thermal imaging, electrical testing, image recognition, ultrasonic flaw detection and other simultaneous dynamic monitoring, the "heating-quenching-humidification" cycle of the heating element in actual use is truly reproduced, solving the problem of disconnection between traditional test conditions and actual working conditions.

[0134] The embodiments of this application break through the limitations of traditional single-parameter testing through cross-physical domain testing of infrared (temperature), electrical (leakage current), optical (surface morphology), and acoustic (internal porosity), and completely restore the performance degradation path under thermal-water coupling conditions (such as internal porosity first generated by thermal stress, then expanded into surface cracks due to water cooling shock, and ultimately causing leakage current to exceed the standard). By linking monitoring data in stages and across multiple devices, the root cause of failure of the heating element can be located (such as whether surface cracks are caused by thermal stress from uneven heating or mechanical stress from water cooling shock), providing a quantitative basis for process optimization of the heating element (such as adjusting the thickness of the dielectric layer and improving the water cooling flow rate), which can in turn support the improvement of the product reliability of the heating element.

[0135] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned infrared thermal imager can be, but is not limited to, a high-precision non-contact infrared thermal imager with a wavelength of 8-14 μm, a temperature measurement range of -20°C to 1500°C, and an accuracy of ±0.5°C (the specific values ​​in the embodiments of this application are only achievable embodiments and are not specifically limited. They can be set or modified according to actual test requirements, subject to the ability to implement the test solution provided in this application).

[0136] Optionally, the infrared thermal imager can be pre-fixed with a bracket directly above the heating element, with the monitoring area covering ≥95% of the surface of the heating element. Optionally, the infrared thermal imager is connected to the controller via a USB3.0 interface, with a sampling frequency ≥10Hz.

[0137] In some embodiments, the leakage current detector can use a microcurrent measurement module with a range of 0-10mA and a resolution of 0.01μA, which is connected in series with the ground terminal of the heating element and transmits data to the controller through a 4-20mA analog interface for real-time monitoring of the leakage current changes of the heating element.

[0138] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned industrial camera can be an industrial high-speed industrial camera with a frame rate ≥200fps and a resolution ≥1920×1080. For example, it can be installed on the side of the heating element, equipped with LED light source, and connected to the controller through a Gigabit Ethernet interface to capture the surface crack expansion process of the heating element.

[0139] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic flaw detector can be a multi-channel ultrasonic flaw detector with a frequency range of 2-10 MHz, using an ultrasonic probe array (disposed on the bottom and sides of the heating element) for non-contact testing. For example, the ultrasonic flaw detector is connected to a controller via a PCIe interface to detect changes in the internal porosity of the heating element.

[0140] In some embodiments, while controlling the heating element to heat up, the controller simultaneously starts the infrared thermal imager to collect the current surface temperature value of the heating element at a frequency of 10 Hz. It also controls the leakage current detector to monitor the current value of the heating element in real time through the potential clamp. When abnormal current fluctuations are detected (such as a rate of change > 5% / second), the controller triggers the early warning mechanism and records the corresponding temperature point. It also controls the industrial camera (such as at a frame rate of 50fps) to record the surface morphology changes of the heating element during the heating process, and identifies micro-deformations caused by thermal expansion through an image difference algorithm (accuracy ≥ 0.01mm). It also controls the ultrasonic flaw detector to emit an ultrasonic pulse to the heating element every 5 seconds, and calculates the internal porosity of the heating element by analyzing the attenuation degree of the echo signal.

[0141] In some embodiments, during the water cooling test phase, the controller can control the infrared thermal imager to switch to a 20Hz high-frequency sampling mode, focusing on monitoring the temperature drop rate during the water cooling process (e.g., target value ≥ 50°C / s) and calculating the consistency of the temperature change rate. The leakage current detector can also be controlled to continuously monitor current changes. When a current surge is detected (e.g., growth rate > 200%), the current temperature value and temperature change rate at the corresponding moment are synchronously recorded. The industrial camera can also be controlled to switch to a 200fps ultra-high-speed mode to capture the crack initiation process at the moment of spraying, and identify the crack starting position and expansion direction of the heating element through an edge detection algorithm. The ultrasonic flaw detector performs a secondary inspection after the heating element is immersed in cooling, compares the echo signals before and after heating, and calculates the porosity change multiple of the heating element.

[0142] In some embodiments, the controller calculates the temperature change rate using a time difference algorithm based on the current temperature value collected by the infrared thermal imager: Where T(t) is the current temperature, T(t-1) is the previous temperature, and Δt is the sampling interval (0.1 seconds during the heating test phase and 0.05 seconds during the water-cooling test phase). The controller compares the temperature change rate with the preset curve in real time (for example, a target rate of 100-300°C / min during the heating test phase and a target rate of ≥50°C / s during the water-cooling test phase) and dynamically adjusts the heating power or water-cooling parameters using a PID algorithm.

[0143] In one possible implementation, in response to receiving a heating test instruction, controlling the heating element to heat up from an initial temperature value to a predetermined temperature value includes: S501 , in response to receiving a heating test instruction, controlling a controllable power supply to supply power to a heating element at a constant power or a gradient power.

[0144] S502: Determine the heating rate of the heating element according to the constant power or the gradient power.

[0145] S503, controlling the heating element to heat up from an initial temperature value to a predetermined temperature value according to a heating rate.

[0146] In some embodiments, after receiving the heating test instruction, the controller can select the power mode and configure the parameters. The controller retrieves the corresponding power control mode (constant power or gradient power) and related parameters from the stored parameter library according to the preset test conditions. For example, if a basic performance test is performed on a heating element, a constant power mode can be selected, and the power value range can be set to 1-5kW (which can be adjusted according to the specifications of the heating element); if the heating element is tested under simulated actual working conditions, a gradient power mode can be used, such as rapidly increasing the temperature at maximum power in the initial stage (such as 5kW), and reducing the power (such as 2kW) when approaching the target temperature to avoid overshoot.

[0147] Afterwards, the controller controls the infrared thermal imager to collect the current temperature value of the heating element in real time, for example, the surface temperature value of the heating element (predetermined sampling frequency ≥ 10Hz), and then calculates the ratio of the temperature difference between adjacent time points to the time interval to obtain the instantaneous heating rate of the heating element. For example, when the current temperature value of the heating element changes from When the heating rate is calculated, the formula is: .

[0148] In some optional embodiments, in constant power mode, the controller controls the controllable power supply to maintain a set power output while monitoring whether the heating element's heating rate is stable within a desired range (e.g., 100-300°C / min). If the measured heating element's heating rate is lower than the target rate within the desired range, the output power of the controllable power supply is fine-tuned. If the measured current temperature of the heating element is close to a predetermined temperature value (e.g., a deviation of ≤10°C), a PID algorithm is activated to precisely control the output power of the controllable power supply to reduce temperature fluctuations.

[0149] In some optional embodiments, in gradient power mode, the controller can dynamically adjust the output power of the controllable power supply according to a preset power-temperature curve. For example, in the initial stage (current temperature < 60% of the target temperature), the controllable power supply is controlled to output at maximum power to allow the heating element to heat up quickly. In the intermediate stage (current temperature reaches 60%-90% of the target temperature), the output power of the controllable power supply is reduced according to a linear gradient to slow the heating element's heating rate. In the final stage (current temperature exceeds 90% of the target temperature), the controllable power supply is maintained at a low power output to achieve precise temperature control.

[0150] During this process, the controller can also continuously compare the measured heating rate with the theoretical heating rate, and use the proportional integral differential algorithm to correct the power output of the controllable power supply in real time to ensure the uniformity of the temperature field distribution of the heating element (such as radial temperature difference ≤15°C).

[0151] Finally, when the current temperature of the heating element reaches the predetermined value and stabilizes within the target range (e.g., fluctuation ≤ ±2°C for 5 minutes), the controller determines that the heating test phase is complete and automatically triggers the subsequent water cooling test process. Simultaneously, the first performance information of the heating element collected by each sensor during the heating test is stored in the database for subsequent analysis coupled with the water cooling test data.

[0152] Through the above implementation, the heating process of the heating element can be accurately controlled, solving the problems of temperature overshoot and uncontrollable heating rate in traditional testing methods, and effectively improving test efficiency and data accuracy.

[0153] In one possible implementation, after controlling the heating element to heat up from an initial temperature value to a predetermined temperature value, the method further includes: controlling the heating element to maintain the predetermined temperature value within a predetermined time; after the predetermined time ends, responding to a water cooling test instruction and entering a water cooling test phase.

[0154] During the heating test phase, the controller first raises the heating element from its initial temperature to a predetermined temperature (e.g., 300°C), then maintains it at that temperature for a fixed period (e.g., 5 minutes) to ensure thermal stability. After the constant temperature period, if a water cooling test command is received, the system switches to the water cooling phase, activating the circulating water cooling system to spray or immerse the heating element. This simulates the rapid cooling scenario after sustained high temperatures in actual operating conditions and comprehensively evaluates the heating element's thermal shock resistance.

[0155] In one possible implementation, in response to receiving a water cooling test instruction, controlling the circulating water cooling system to perform a spray cooling process on the surface of all or part of the heating element and an immersion cooling process on the heating element includes: S601, in response to receiving a water cooling test instruction, controlling the guide rail motor to slide the support rod to a first predetermined position, wherein the support rod is slidably disposed on the guide rail motor, and at least one heating element to be tested is fixed on the support rod.

[0156] S602, after controlling the guide rail motor to slide the support rod to the first predetermined position, controlling the circulating water cooling system to spray and cool the surfaces of all or part of the heating elements.

[0157] S603: After the spray cooling process is completed, the guide rail motor is controlled to slide the support rod to a second predetermined position.

[0158] S604, after controlling the guide rail motor to slide the support rod to the second predetermined position, controlling the circulating water cooling system to perform immersion cooling on the heating element.

[0159] In some embodiments, in the test equipment, a scaled guide motor is mounted parallel to the water cooling tank, and a support rod is slidably connected to the guide motor via a slider (e.g. Figure 3 In the test steps A, B, and C shown, the support rod changes position with the displacement of the guide motor). The heating element is fixed to the support rod by a potential clamp (single or multiple testing is possible).

[0160] When the controller receives the water cooling test instruction, the controller controls the guide rail motor to drive the support rod to slide from the initial hanging position (such as in test step A, the heating tube is suspended above the water cooling tank) to the first predetermined position (the distance between the bottom of the heating element and the liquid level of the water cooling tank is ≤ the spray coverage height, such as 5-10cm, to ensure that the spray water curtain can cover the surface of the heating tube), such as test step A → test step B, and the support rod moves vertically.

[0161] After detecting that the support rod reaches the first predetermined position, the controller triggers the spray head array of the circulating water cooling system (such as multiple spray heads arranged above and / or on the side of the water cooling tank), and continuously sprays the surface of the heating element for a set time (such as 10-30 seconds) at a set flow rate (such as 0.5-2L / min) and a predetermined water temperature (such as 5-30°C).

[0162] After the spray cooling process is complete, the controller again controls the guide motor to drive the support rod to a second predetermined position (so that the heating element is fully aligned with the water cooling tank opening and the liquid level covers the heating tube after immersion). As in test step C, the heating element moves vertically downward to directly above the water cooling tank. During this movement, the ultrasonic flaw detector can be triggered in advance to pre-scan the changes in the heating element's internal pores after the spray (for example, to determine whether the thermal stress caused by the spray has caused pore expansion).

[0163] The controller controls the guide rail motor to drive the support rod to move downward in the vertical direction (or to move the water cooling tank upward and downward in a linked manner). After the support rod reaches the second predetermined position, the heating element is completely immersed in the water cooling tank (such as in test step C, the heating tube is completely immersed in the water cooling tank), and the cooling is continued for a set time (such as 20-60 seconds).

[0164] By controlling the spatial displacement of the heating element in hovering, spraying, and immersion through the guide rail motor, the complex scenarios of exposure, water spraying, and immersion in actual applications are realistically simulated, solving the problem of the disconnection between traditional static water cooling testing and actual working conditions. In addition, the test equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application can also support differentiated testing of single / multiple heating elements (such as fixing multiple heating elements on a support rod, partially spraying, partially immersed, etc.). By comparing the performance data of different test positions and different water cooling processes, it provides an optimization basis for the production process of the heating element (such as the uniformity of the dielectric layer coating and the design of the waterproof structure).

[0165] In one possible implementation, controlling the circulating water cooling system to spray cooling on the surface of all or part of the heating element and immersing the heating element in cooling includes: S701, controlling the heating element to slide toward the circulating water cooling system.

[0166] S702, when the heating element slides toward the circulating water cooling system, controlling the circulating water cooling system to spray and cool the surface of all or part of the heating element, and S703: After the heating element has completely slid into the circulating water cooling system, the circulating water cooling system is controlled to perform immersion cooling on the heating element.

[0167] In one possible implementation, during the process of the heating element sliding toward the circulating water cooling system, the circulating water cooling system is controlled to perform spray cooling treatment on the surface of all or part of the heating element, including: during the process of the heating element sliding toward the circulating water cooling system, predetermined spray control parameters are obtained, wherein the predetermined spray control parameters include at least one of a predetermined water temperature and a predetermined flow rate; according to the predetermined spray control parameters, the circulating water cooling system is controlled to perform spray cooling treatment on the surface of all or part of the heating element.

[0168] In some embodiments, the controller can retrieve predetermined spray control parameters corresponding to the test conditions from a preset database, for example: standard test conditions: predetermined water temperature 20℃±0.5℃, predetermined flow rate 2L / min±0.1L / min; extreme thermal shock conditions: predetermined water temperature 10℃±0.5℃, predetermined flow rate 4L / min±0.1L / min; the above values ​​are all embodiments, but are not limited to this.

[0169] In some embodiments, the water cooling tank of the circulating water cooling system is located at the end of the guide rail motor, the depth of the water cooling tank is ≥ 1.2 times the height of the heating element, and a built-in circulating water pump and temperature sensor are connected to an external water source through the water inlet and drained through the water outlet.

[0170] When the control controller controls the guide rail motor and the support rod drives the heating element to the bottom of the spray head array of the circulating water cooling system, the corresponding spray head is controlled to open, and the surface of part of the heating element is sprayed and cooled according to the predetermined water temperature of 20°C and the predetermined flow rate of 2L / min. As the heating element continues to slide, the corresponding spray heads are opened in sequence (time interval of 0.2 seconds) to spray and cool the surfaces of all heating elements.

[0171] When the support rod drives the heating element to slide completely into the water cooling tank of the circulating water cooling system, that is, the heating element is completely immersed in the coolant in the water cooling tank, the circulating water pump in the water cooling tank runs at a flow rate of 30L / min to ensure uniform coolant temperature; after the immersion cooling process continues for a predetermined period of time (such as 30s), the controller controls the guide rail motor to drive the heating element on the support rod to rise to the initial suspension height, completing the cooling process.

[0172] With this implementation, the controller coordinates the mechanical movement of the heating element with the multi-stage cooling action of the circulating water cooling system to achieve continuous, gradient cooling of the heating element, realizes a gradient transition from rapid surface cooling to deep internal cooling, and realizes dynamic and precise control of the cooling process of the heating element, avoiding the thermal stress concentration problem caused by direct immersion cooling of the heating element in traditional testing schemes.

[0173] In one possible implementation, while the heating element is driven by the support rod to slide toward the circulating water cooling system, controlling the circulating water cooling system to spray cooling on all or part of the surface of the heating element includes: When the heating element is driven by the support rod to slide toward the circulating water cooling system, a predetermined spray control parameter is obtained, wherein the predetermined spray control parameter includes at least one of a predetermined water temperature and a predetermined flow rate.

[0174] According to the predetermined spray control parameters, the circulating water cooling system is controlled to spray and cool the surfaces of all or part of the heating elements.

[0175] In some embodiments, the controller can retrieve the predetermined spray control parameters corresponding to the test conditions from a preset database, for example: standard test conditions: predetermined water temperature 20℃±0.5℃, predetermined flow rate 2L / min±0.1L / min; extreme thermal shock conditions: predetermined water temperature 10℃±0.5℃, predetermined flow rate 4L / min±0.1L / min; the above values ​​are all embodiments, but are not limited to this embodiment.

[0176] In some embodiments, the water cooling tank of the circulating water cooling system is located at the end of the guide rail motor, the depth of the water cooling tank is ≥ 1.2 times the height of the heating element, and a built-in circulating water pump and temperature sensor are connected to an external water source through the water inlet and drained through the water outlet.

[0177] When the heating element reaches the bottom of the spray head array driven by the support rod, the corresponding spray head opens and sprays and cools the surface of part of the heating element according to the predetermined water temperature of 20°C and the predetermined flow rate of 2L / min. As the heating element continues to slide, the corresponding subsequent spray heads open in sequence (time interval of 0.2 seconds) to spray and cool the surface of all heating elements.

[0178] When the heating element slides completely into the water cooling tank and is immersed in the coolant in the water cooling tank, the circulating water pump in the water cooling tank of the circulating water cooling system runs at a flow rate of 30L / min to ensure uniform coolant temperature; after the immersion cooling process continues for a predetermined period of time (such as 30s), the controller controls the guide rail motor to drive the heating element on the support rod to lift to the initial suspension height, completing the cooling process.

[0179] With this implementation, the controller controls the guide rail motor to drive the movement of the heating element on the support rod and the multi-stage cooling action of the circulating water cooling system, thereby providing continuous and gradient cooling treatment for the heating element, with a gradient transition from rapid surface cooling to deep internal cooling. This achieves dynamic and precise control of the cooling process of the heating element, avoiding the thermal stress concentration problem caused by direct immersion cooling of the heating element in traditional testing schemes.

[0180] In a possible implementation, outputting third performance information of the heating element according to the first performance information and the second performance information includes: S801 , performing coupled analysis on the real-time temperature value and the temperature change rate in the first performance information and the temperature change rate in the second performance information to obtain a temperature field fluctuation curve of the heating element.

[0181] S802 , performing a time series comparison between the leakage current value and the insulation resistance change rate in the first performance information and the corresponding parameters in the second performance information to determine an insulation failure risk index of the heating element under thermal-water coupling stress.

[0182] S803 , based on the surface morphology information and internal porosity in the first performance information and the second performance information, extract the crack propagation path and porosity variation trend of the heating element through an image recognition algorithm.

[0183] S804: Based on a preset performance evaluation model, a weighted calculation is performed on the temperature field fluctuation curve, the insulation failure risk index, the crack propagation path, and the porosity change trend to generate a comprehensive performance evaluation report of the heating element as the third performance information.

[0184] In some embodiments, after obtaining the first performance information (test data from the heating test phase) and the second performance information (test data from the water cooling test phase), the controller performs the following steps to implement a comprehensive performance evaluation of the heating element: First, the controller aligns the real-time temperature values ​​during the heating test phase with the temperature change rate during the water-cooling test phase, generating a continuous temperature field fluctuation curve using an interpolation algorithm. The specific process involves synchronizing the temperature data collected by the infrared thermal imager during the heating test phase (e.g., with a sampling rate of 10 Hz) with the temperature change rate data during the water-cooling test phase (e.g., with a sampling rate of 20 Hz), using timestamps as indexes. The ratio of the temperature difference between adjacent time points to the time interval is calculated to obtain the instantaneous temperature change rate. After smoothing using a sliding window, a complete temperature field fluctuation curve is generated, from which characteristic parameters such as the peak temperature point, the fluctuation range of the constant temperature section, the maximum temperature change rate (e.g., a sudden drop rate ≥ 50°C / s), and its duration are extracted.

[0185] Next, the controller compares the leakage current values ​​during the heating test phase with the rate of change of insulation resistance during the water-cooling test phase to construct a risk index model. Specifically, the controller calculates the growth rate of the leakage current after water-cooling compared to before heating (e.g., growth rate = [(current after water-cooling - current before heating) / current before heating] × 100%) and analyzes the insulation resistance decay slope over time (e.g., rate of decrease per unit time). This is combined with preset thresholds (e.g., leakage current > 1mA, insulation resistance < 50MΩ) and the peak temperature point in the temperature field fluctuation curve (e.g., the insulation risk factor doubles at temperatures > 350°C) to generate an insulation failure risk index. For example, a high-risk condition is determined when the leakage current growth rate exceeds 200% and the insulation resistance decay slope is greater than 0.5MΩ / s.

[0186] Furthermore, the controller uses image recognition algorithms to extract crack propagation paths and porosity trends based on surface topography and internal porosity data from the heating and water-cooling phases. This is achieved by preprocessing the surface images captured by the industrial camera (e.g., Gaussian filtering and edge enhancement), identifying the crack initiation location (typically in the area with the maximum temperature gradient) using the frame difference method, and calculating the crack length and propagation direction using the Hough transform. Simultaneously, the ultrasonic grayscale image is thresholded, the porosity region is extracted, and its area percentage is calculated. Time series comparison is then used to quantify the porosity change from the initial value (e.g., 0.8%) to the post-water-cooling value.

[0187] Finally, based on a pre-set performance evaluation model, the controller weights the temperature field fluctuation curve, insulation failure risk index, crack propagation path, and porosity variation trend (e.g., 40% for temperature stability, 30% for insulation reliability, and 30% for structural integrity). This generates a comprehensive score, categorized as A, B, C, or D. The evaluation report includes: 1) a summary of core performance indicators (temperature response, insulation parameters, and structural defects); 2) a failure risk warning (with weak areas and potential failure modes highlighted); 3) test optimization recommendations (e.g., adjusting the heating power curve or improving the water cooling flow rate); and 4) data visualization charts (temperature field cloud diagram, insulation parameter time series diagram, and dynamic evolution diagram of the crack propagation path).

[0188] Through the above implementation method, a full-process automated evaluation from multi-dimensional data collection to failure mechanism analysis is achieved, which solves the problem that traditional testing methods only focus on a single test parameter and cannot reproduce actual working conditions, and effectively improves the test reliability and production efficiency of heating components.

[0189] In a possible implementation, outputting third performance information of the heating element according to the first performance information and the second performance information includes: S901 , cross-validating the real-time temperature value in the first performance information and the temperature change rate in the second performance information to obtain a temperature response time of the heating element during a thermal shock process.

[0190] S902 , performing a time series comparison between the leakage current value and the insulation resistance change rate in the first performance information and the corresponding parameters in the second performance information to determine an insulation failure risk index of the heating element under thermal-water coupling stress.

[0191] S903 , based on the surface morphology information and internal porosity in the first performance information and the second performance information, extract the crack propagation path and porosity variation trend of the heating element through an image recognition algorithm.

[0192] S904, based on a preset performance evaluation model, weighted calculation is performed according to the temperature response time, insulation failure risk index, crack propagation path and porosity change trend to generate a comprehensive performance evaluation report of the heating element as the third performance information.

[0193] In some embodiments, the controller performs a deep coupling analysis of the first performance information during the heating test phase and the second performance information during the water cooling test phase to achieve a quantitative evaluation of the comprehensive performance of the heating element: During the data acquisition phase, the first performance information is collected during the heating test phase. An infrared thermal imager captures the surface temperature distribution of the heating element in real time, and the temperature change rate is calculated using a differential algorithm. A leakage current detector simultaneously monitors the current value in the power-on state. An industrial camera captures surface topography changes during the heating process (such as micro-deformations caused by thermal expansion). An ultrasonic flaw detector detects the initial state of internal porosity. Secondary performance information is collected simultaneously during the water cooling test phase. This includes the temperature change rate monitored by the infrared thermal imager, the resistance decay trend recorded by the insulation resistance tester, the crack initiation process captured by the industrial camera, and the pore expansion detected by the ultrasonic flaw detector.

[0194] In some embodiments, the controller performs data coupling analysis on the first and second performance information, aligning the real-time temperature values ​​during the heating test phase with the temperature change rate during the water-cooling test phase. Using an interpolation algorithm, the controller generates a continuous temperature field fluctuation curve, extracting characteristic parameters such as the peak temperature point, the fluctuation range of the constant temperature section, and the maximum temperature change rate (e.g., a sudden drop rate ≥ 50°C / s). Simultaneously, the controller performs a correlation analysis between the leakage current value during the heating test phase and the insulation resistance change rate during the water-cooling test phase, calculating the correlation between the current growth rate of the heating element and the insulation resistance change rate (e.g., when the leakage current growth rate exceeds 200%, the insulation resistance attenuation slope increases simultaneously).

[0195] In some embodiments, the controller can also use image recognition algorithms to perform frame difference analysis on the surface topography of the heating element before and after the heating test and during the water cooling process, identifying the initiation location of cracks in the heating element (typically in the area with the maximum temperature gradient) and calculating the propagation rate. Ultrasonic grayscale image comparison algorithms can also be used to quantify the change in the internal porosity of the heating element from the initial value to the post-water cooling process. For example, if a 0.05mm microcrack is detected on the surface, the temperature field distribution and porosity change in the corresponding area are simultaneously analyzed.

[0196] In some embodiments, the controller may also normalize the aforementioned characteristic parameters based on a preset weighting system (e.g., 40% for temperature stability, 30% for insulation reliability, and 30% for structural integrity), then perform a weighted calculation to determine a comprehensive score and evaluation report for the heating element. The controller may also categorize the heating element into Grade A, Grade B, Grade C, or Grade D based on the comprehensive score. In some embodiments, the evaluation report may include visual data such as temperature field cloud maps, insulation parameter time series diagrams, and crack propagation path dynamic evolution diagrams, and automatically generate decision recommendations for different grades of heating element products: for example, direct release may be recommended for Grade A products, adjustment of the heating power gradient or water cooling flow rate parameters may be recommended for Grade C products, and direct determination of unqualified products for Grade D products with traceability of production process parameters.

[0197] Through the above-mentioned implementation mode, the present invention realizes the full-process automated evaluation from multi-dimensional data collection to failure mechanism analysis, solves the problem that traditional testing methods only focus on a single test parameter and cannot reproduce actual working conditions, and effectively improves the product qualification rate and service life of heating elements.
