[0040] Figure 1 It is a structure diagram of a double piezoelectric acoustic emission sensor with self-checking function;

[0041] A double piezoelectric acoustic emission sensor with self-checking function, comprising the following steps:

[0042] The sealed shell is made of aluminum alloy;

[0043] A backing layer 1 is arranged at the bottom of the sealed shell to reduce the influence of excess vibration and effectively reduce the bottom noise detected by the sensor;

[0044] A first layer of support is arranged above the backing layer 1 for mounting a first piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3;

[0045] The first piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3 is used as a transmitting end of a self-checking signal;

[0046] A first matching layer 2 is arranged above the first layer of support for stable transmission of the vibration generated by the first piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3 during the self-checking process, maximizing the utilization rate of vibration energy;

[0047] A second layer of support is arranged above the first matching layer 2 for mounting a second piezoelectric ceramic sheet 5;

[0048] The second piezoelectric ceramic sheet 5 is used as a receiving end of a vibration signal to detect the self-checking signal emitted by the first piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3 and the vibration signal generated when the detected object breaks;

[0049] A second matching layer 4 is arranged above the second layer of support for contact with the detected object, acoustic impedance matching, and transmission of the vibration signal generated when the detected object breaks to the second piezoelectric ceramic sheet 5.

[0050] The first layer of support and the second layer of support are both stepped double-layer supports, which include a first support and a second support arranged in parallel. The height difference between the first support and the second support is 10mm;

[0051] The stepped double-layer support structure ensures that the first piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3 at the transmitting end and the second piezoelectric ceramic sheet 5 at the receiving end are strictly aligned to ensure stable transmission of the signal.

[0052] The second support is filled with a mixture of glass beads and epoxy resin to reduce impedance mismatch, improve signal coupling efficiency, and improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the received signal. The first support is part of the sealed shell;

[0053] The backing layer 1 is made of a mixture of epoxy resin and tungsten powder to reduce signal reflection;

[0054] The first matching layer 2 and the second matching layer 4 are both made of a mixture of epoxy resin and glass beads.

[0055] The first matching layer 2 adopts an epoxy resin and glass bead mixed material to ensure effective transmission of vibration energy, complete acoustic impedance matching of the transmitting end and the receiving end, and maximize the utilization rate of vibration energy.

[0056] The second matching layer 4 adopts a glass bead and epoxy resin mixture as a material to perform acoustic impedance matching on the second piezoelectric ceramic sheet 5 of the receiving end and the object to be measured, optimize the vibration characteristics, and further improve the detection sensitivity and reliability of the sensor.

[0057] The second matching layer 4 is used for vibration signal coupling,

[0058] The sensor of the present application is suitable for detecting bridge and steel cable fracture signals.

[0059] The double piezoelectric ceramic sheet sensor of the present application adopts the same specification piezoelectric ceramic sheet for the first piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3 and the second piezoelectric ceramic sheet 5, utilizes the positive piezoelectric effect and inverse piezoelectric effect of the piezoelectric ceramic, applies an excitation signal to the first piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3 to generate vibration, transmits the vibration to the receiving end piezoelectric ceramic sheet through the first matching layer 2, and when the excitation signal frequency is equal to the resonance frequency of the first piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3, the vibration amplitude reaches the maximum value. Since the piezoelectric ceramic sheets are of the same specification, the response of the receiving end (second piezoelectric ceramic sheet 5) to the generated vibration also reaches the maximum value.

[0060] A signal generation module 6 is used to apply a series of alternating signals of different frequencies to the transmitting end first piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3, and an oscilloscope is used to observe the voltage change of the receiving end piezoelectric ceramic sheet, so as to find the maximum response frequency (i.e. the resonance frequency). According to the expected working frequency range of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet, the start frequency, end frequency and frequency step value of the signal generation module 6 are set. The output frequency of the signal generator is gradually changed at the set frequency step value, and the response of the receiving end piezoelectric ceramic sheet at each frequency is recorded. The recorded data is analyzed to find the resonance frequency of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet.

[0061] The determination process of the resonance frequency of the first piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3 is as follows:

[0062] The resonance frequency of the transmitting end first piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3 is measured to ensure that the excitation signal matches the optimal working frequency.

[0063] A sinusoidal excitation signal of different frequencies is applied to the first piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3 of the packaged double piezoelectric acoustic sensor, and the output signal amplitude of the second piezoelectric ceramic sheet 5 is monitored; the frequency of the input signal is gradually scanned, and the change of the receiving signal amplitude is recorded.

[0064] When the signal amplitude of the second piezoelectric ceramic sheet 5 reaches the maximum value, the sensor is in a resonant state, and the corresponding excitation frequency is the resonance frequency of the first piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3.

[0065] The matching layer of the present application is the first matching layer 2 between the transmitting piezoelectric ceramic and the receiving piezoelectric ceramic and the second matching layer 4 between the receiving second piezoelectric ceramic 5 and the object to be measured. According to the acoustic impedance matching characteristics, the composite structure of epoxy resin and glass beads is adopted to ensure efficient transmission of signals. The acoustic impedance calculation formula of the matching layer is as follows:

[0066] wherein, Zm is the acoustic impedance of the matching layer, Zp is the acoustic impedance of the piezoelectric ceramic, Zt is the acoustic impedance of the transmission medium (such as air or water). In order to optimize the matching layer characteristics, reduce the acoustic impedance mismatch, and improve the energy coupling efficiency. According to the target acoustic impedance of the matching layer , the volume fraction of glass beads can be determined by the following formula :

[0067] wherein, Zr is the acoustic impedance of the epoxy resin, Zb is the acoustic impedance of the glass beads. The optimal amount of glass beads is calculated to ensure the performance of the matching layer.

[0068] The present application adopts epoxy resin and tungsten powder mixed material as the backing layer 1, which is filled between the transmitting piezoelectric ceramic and the shell to effectively enhance the back energy absorption, reduce signal reflection, and improve detection sensitivity. The attenuation coefficient of the backing layer 1 is calculated as follows:

[0069] wherein, a is the attenuation coefficient, f is the driving frequency (100 kHz), v is the propagation speed of the acoustic wave in the backing material (about 5000-6000 m / s), Q is the internal friction factor of the material (about 0.001-0.005). In order to optimize the performance of the backing layer 1, the proportion of tungsten powder added is calculated based on the density of the composite material as follows:

[0070]

[0071] wherein, D is the density after mixing, D1 is the density of the epoxy resin, D2 is the density of the tungsten powder, V is the volume fraction of the tungsten powder. By adjusting the value of , the density and damping characteristics of the backing layer 1 can be controlled to optimize the acoustic wave attenuation effect.

[0072] Figure 2 ​It is a schematic diagram of a double piezoelectric acoustic emission sensor system with self-checking function.

[0073] According to any one of the detection systems of the double piezoelectric acoustic emission sensor with self-checking function, comprising:

[0074] The signal generation module 6 is used to generate alternating signals of different frequencies.

[0075] The signal generation module 6 comprises a DAC module for converting digital signals into analog signals.

[0076] The double piezoelectric acoustic emission sensor 7 is used to receive the vibration signals generated by the signal generation module 6 and the vibration signals generated by the object, and convert the vibration signals into electrical signals for transmission.

[0077] The pre-signal conditioning module 8 is used to amplify and filter the signals transmitted by the double piezoelectric acoustic emission sensor 7.

[0078] The signal acquisition module 9 is used to receive the amplified and filtered signals transmitted by the pre-signal conditioning module 8 for acquisition.

[0079] The signal acquisition module 9 comprises an ADC conversion module for acquiring the amplified and filtered vibration signals.

[0080] The main control module 10 is used to drive the signal generation module 6 to generate alternating signals of different frequencies, and simultaneously process the signals transmitted by the signal acquisition module 9 in time domain and frequency domain, and judge whether the detection object has an abnormality and whether the double piezoelectric acoustic emission sensor 7 is in working state based on the processed time domain and frequency domain information.

[0081] The abnormal conditions include bridge and steel cable rupture, etc.

[0082] The signal generation module 6 generates a sinusoidal signal matching the resonance frequency of the first ceramic sheet at the transmitting end, which is converted by DAC and amplified to drive the first piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3 at the transmitting end to vibrate. The physical vibration is transmitted to the second piezoelectric ceramic sheet 5 at the receiving end through the first matching layer 2, and the second piezoelectric ceramic sheet 5 at the receiving end converts the mechanical vibration into an electrical signal. The electrical signal is transmitted to the acquisition module after the pre-signal conditioning module 8, and is converted by ADC to enter the main control module 10 for time domain analysis and frequency domain analysis to obtain the time domain characteristics and maximum frequency value of the received signal. The characteristics are matched with the signal generated by the signal generation module 6. If they do not match, it is determined that the sensor is damaged, an alarm signal is sent, online self-checking is realized, and the reliability of the sensor is ensured.

[0083] The main control module 10 drives the signal generation module to generate digital sine wave signal data, and then generates an analog sine signal through a DAC module. After power amplification, the analog sine signal is input into the transmitting end first piezoelectric ceramic piece 3 in the dual piezoelectric acoustic emission sensor 7 to generate mechanical vibration, thereby causing the receiving end piezoelectric ceramic piece to vibrate to generate an electric signal. The sensor self-checking is completed by collecting and analyzing the signal of the receiving end second piezoelectric ceramic piece 5.

[0084] The frequency calculation formula of the signal generation module 6 generating a sine wave signal is as follows:

[0085] wherein is a system clock frequency (50 MHz in this case), is a frequency control word, is the number of phase accumulator bits (32 in this case).

[0086] First, the time domain analysis and frequency domain analysis of the environmental noise received by the receiving end second piezoelectric ceramic piece 5 are performed to obtain the time energy integral and the frequency energy integral of the signal of the receiving end piezoelectric ceramic piece under normal working conditions. The time interval is set to ten minutes for self-checking once. When the self-checking starts, the self-checking signal flag bit is pulled high. During this period, the signal duration of 500 ms is set to high level 1, and the signal duration of 500 ms is set to low level 0. The self-checking signal is set to 11011011. After the excitation signal is sent out, the main control module 10 performs time domain analysis and frequency domain analysis on the signal of the receiving end second piezoelectric ceramic piece 5, and the time energy integral and the frequency energy integral are obtained within a time interval of 500 ms. The time energy integral and the frequency energy integral are obtained, and the main frequency of the collected signal is obtained. The time energy integral and the frequency energy integral are compared. If , the main frequency is consistent with the signal frequency of the signal generation module 6, and if the signal of the receiving end second piezoelectric ceramic piece 5 is consistent with the time domain signal and the frequency domain signal of the transmitting end first piezoelectric ceramic piece 3, and the main frequency is consistent, it is determined that the dual piezoelectric acoustic emission sensor 7 is intact.

[0087] If , the sensor is damaged.

[0088] If the signal of the second piezoelectric ceramic piece 5 is inconsistent with the time domain signal or the frequency domain signal of the first piezoelectric ceramic piece 3, the dual piezoelectric acoustic emission sensor is damaged.

[0089] The main control module 10 drives the signal generating module 6, and processes the output signal of the receiving end piezoelectric ceramic piece after the pre-signal conditioning module 8 in time and frequency domains, so as to realize effective judgment on the fracture condition of the bridge structure.

[0090] The process of processing the electric signal in time and frequency domains is as follows:

[0091] The time domain energy integral and the frequency domain energy integral of the first window signal are obtained by processing the electric signal in time and frequency domains in a sliding window manner and The time domain energy integral and the frequency domain energy integral of the second window signal are obtained by processing the electric signal in time and frequency domains in a sliding window manner and The first window signal and the second window signal are adjacent signal segments.

[0092] The process of judging whether the detected object is abnormal and whether the dual piezoelectric acoustic emission sensor 7 is in a working state based on the processed time domain and frequency domain information is as follows:

[0093] The time domain energy integral and the frequency domain energy integral of the first window signal and the second window signal are compared respectively, and the time domain energy change value and the frequency domain energy change value of the first window signal and the second window signal are obtained.

[0094] The time domain energy integral and the frequency domain energy integral of the second window signal and the third window signal are compared respectively, and the time domain energy change value and the frequency domain energy change value of the second window signal and the third window signal are obtained.

[0095] When and , is a jump alarm threshold value, it is judged that the dual piezoelectric acoustic emission sensor 7 has a large energy fluctuation, and an alarm signal is sent.

[0096] After sending the self-check signal, the signal of the receiving end second piezoelectric ceramic piece 5 is analyzed, if , and whether the main frequency of the collected signal is consistent with the signal frequency sent by the signal generating module, if the time domain and frequency domain signals of the receiving end second piezoelectric ceramic piece 5 and the transmitting end first piezoelectric ceramic piece 3 are consistent, and the main frequency of the collected signal is consistent with the signal frequency sent by the signal generating module, it is judged that the dual piezoelectric acoustic emission sensor is intact, otherwise the dual piezoelectric acoustic emission sensor is damaged.
