DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the present disclosure embodiments, each embodiment can be referred to, individually or collectively, by the term "application" merely for convenience and without intending to voluntarily limit the ambit of this application to any single application or inventive concept if more than one is, in fact, disclosed. In the present disclosure embodiments, the term "relationship" such as first and second is used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another without requiring or implying any actual relationship or order between such entities or operations. Also, the terms "comprises", "comprising", or any other variation thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but can also include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. An element proceeded by "comprises... a" does not, without more constraints, exclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element. The disclosure embodiments are described in a progressive manner, each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments, and the same or similar parts between embodiments are cross-referenced. For the methods, products, and the like disclosed in the embodiments, since they correspond to the method part of the embodiments, the description is relatively simple, and the relevant part is referred to the method part.
[0020] The existing modal test system has many disadvantages. The system structure is complex, the equipment cost is high, the operation process is cumbersome, and professional technical personnel are needed for operation and maintenance, which is difficult to meet the efficient and low-cost detection needs in actual application, especially for the quality consistency inspection of batch-produced nozzle products.
[0021] In order to solve the problems in the related art, the present disclosure embodiments provide a nozzle modal consistency detection system and method to solve the problems of complex and cumbersome modal test of nozzles in the prior art.
[0022] In combination with Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the nozzle modal consistency detection system comprises: A test system for simulating the free state of a nozzle, comprising a ceiling, a suspension system and a nozzle, the suspension system comprising a plurality of ropes and an intelligent adjustment suspension device, the intelligent adjustment suspension device integrating a micro motor, a displacement sensor and a controller, the displacement sensor being used to monitor the attitude change of the nozzle, and the controller being used to control the micro motor to adjust the length and tension of the suspension rope according to the monitoring result of the displacement sensor.
[0023] An excitation device for applying an external excitation to the nozzle to obtain a dynamic response.
[0024] A response data generation system, comprising a response sensor used to measure the stress distribution of a specific part of the nozzle and a data acquisition system used to acquire the data of the response sensor and transmit the data to a consistency analysis system.
[0025] A consistency analysis system used to analyze the consistency of the nozzle through the response sensor data.
[0026] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the application of a test system. The test system is used to simulate the free state of a nozzle. The ceiling 1 adopts a high-strength steel beam structure and is fixed stably above the test site to provide reliable support for the suspension system. The suspension system is composed of a plurality of ropes and an intelligent adjustment suspension device. Among them, the ropes include suspension ropes 2 and balance ropes 3. The intelligent adjustment suspension device integrates a micro motor, a displacement sensor and a controller.
[0027] In the intelligent adjustment suspension device, the displacement sensor serves as a feedback element and continuously monitors the attitude change data of the nozzle. When the nozzle tilts or the center of gravity deviates, the attitude change data becomes a deviation signal. The proportional link adjusts the output according to the size of the current deviation, so that the length and tension of the suspension rope change quickly; the integral link accumulates the deviation over a period of time to eliminate the steady-state error of the system and ensure that the nozzle can accurately return to the ideal position; the derivative link predicts the trend of future deviation according to the rate of change of the deviation and adjusts the control quantity in advance to make the adjustment process faster and smoother. Through the cooperative work of the three links, the PID control algorithm can accurately calculate the parameters of the micro motor to adjust the length and tension of the suspension rope 2 according to the feedback of the displacement sensor, so that the nozzle can maintain a stable simulated free state.
[0028] At the same time, in order to reduce the influence of additional mass on the test results, it is stipulated that the total mass of the additional connecting parts installed on the nozzle shall not exceed 2% of the mass of the nozzle. The additional connecting parts can be rubber ropes and the like. In addition, protective cotton cloth is laid on the ground of the test site to prevent the test piece from being damaged during operation.
[0029] Lay protective cotton sheeting on the ground and suspend the product with thin rope approximately 20 mm above the protective sheeting. Select three or four bolt holes as suspension points, spaced evenly apart, depending on the number of bolt holes. Use soft carbon wire with a diameter of 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm and a length of at least 1.5 m for the rope. Preliminary experiments have shown that too few or too many suspension points can lead to significant errors in the response mode.
[0030] The excitation device utilizes a variety of excitation methods, including one or more of an excitation hammer assembly, electromagnetic vibrator, electrodynamic shaker, and hydraulic vibrator. For example, the excitation hammer assembly comprises an excitation hammer and a dynamometer. The choice of the excitation hammer is determined by the characteristics of the response data generation system and the test requirements, and is precisely calibrated. The excitation device applies external excitation to the nozzle, generating a dynamic response and providing data for subsequent measurements. Conduct a preliminary experiment using the excitation hammer to determine the appropriate excitation point. Create a test, begin acquisition, and simultaneously apply excitation using the excitation hammer.
[0031] The response data generation system consists of response sensors and a data acquisition system. Response sensors are placed in stress concentration areas or structural connections within the nozzle to measure stress distribution at specific locations. The data acquisition system collects data from the response sensors and transmits it to the consistency analysis system for subsequent analysis.
[0032] Specifically, see Figure 3 Figure 2 shows the locations of the excitation and measurement points. Use beeswax to bond the measuring end of the response sensor to the product's response output measurement point 6, located 10 to 20 mm from the bottom edge of the product. Preliminary experiments have shown that the distance from the bottom edge of the product can lead to significant errors in modal test results. The excitation point is the impact point of the excitation hammer.
[0033] The consistency analysis system analyzes the nozzle consistency by receiving response sensor data transmitted by the response data generation system. The system performs in-depth processing and analysis on the collected data to determine whether there are any quality issues with the nozzle.
[0034] For corresponding reference, see Figure 4 , applied to the above-mentioned nozzle modal consistency detection system, the nozzle modal consistency detection method includes: S10, the rope suspends the test piece below the ceiling through the intelligent adjustment suspension device, and the intelligent adjustment suspension device is adjusted to put the test piece in a free state.
[0035] It should be understood that the test piece is suspended below the ceiling using a rope through an intelligent adjustable suspension device, and the intelligent adjustable suspension device is carefully adjusted to place the test piece in a free state, simulating its stress environment in actual work.
[0036] S20, the test piece is stimulated multiple times, and the response data generation system collects response data of the test piece under different stimulations in real time.
[0037] It should be understood that S20 is used to comprehensively obtain dynamic performance information of the test piece under various excitation conditions.
[0038] S30, analyze the modal consistency of the test piece through the response data.
[0039] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, analyzing the modal consistency of the test piece using the response data in S30 includes: S31, obtaining sample modal data.
[0040] It should be understood that the modal parameters of different nozzle models are obtained from the test. A specific example is obtaining the natural frequencies of the nozzle models XXX-A-1, XXX-B-1, and XXX-C-1. It should be noted that each model has 30 products, and the test results for each product show the average natural frequency.
[0041] See the XXX-A-1 model nozzle natural frequency test data, the XXX-B-1 model nozzle natural frequency test data, and the XXX-C-1 model nozzle natural frequency test data, which are shown in Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3, respectively.
[0042] Table 1
[0043] Table 2
[0044] Table 3
[0045] S32, sample response data corresponding to the test sample modal data.
[0046] It should be understood that in order to fully understand the modal characteristics of the nozzle, representative sample response data is collected. Multiple samples are selected from nozzles manufactured from different batches and different production processes for testing. During the test, the response sensor in the response data generation system is used. The response sensor includes one or more of an acceleration sensor, an optical fiber sensor, and a strain gauge sensor. Sample response data is collected under multiple excitation conditions, including any one or more information of acceleration, displacement, stress distribution, and small strain changes. It should be noted that as many sample response data as possible are collected. In this way, the acquired data covers the response data of the nozzle in different states, which can more comprehensively reflect the diversity of the nozzle modal characteristics.
[0047] Specifically, acceleration is used as sample response data. During the test, the response sensor is an accelerometer, which collects and calculates the average time-domain amplitude value of acceleration for each product. The response data is collected by the accelerometer and transmitted to the consistency analysis system via the data acquisition system. See Tables 4, 5, and 6 for the typical acceleration response values of the XXX-A-1 nozzle natural frequency test, the typical acceleration response values of the XXX-B-1 nozzle natural frequency test, and the typical acceleration response values of the XXX-C-1 nozzle natural frequency test, respectively.

[0051] S33, using the sample response data and the sample modal data to train a modal data neural network model, wherein the modal data neural network model is used to train the sample modal data according to the input sample response data.
[0052] It should be understood that a modal data neural network model, such as a convolutional neural network (CNN) or a recurrent neural network (RNN), is constructed. The previously acquired sample response data is used as input, and the corresponding sample modal data is used as the training target to train the model. During the training process, the model will automatically learn the mapping relationship between the sample response data and the sample modal data. As the training progresses, the model continuously adjusts its own parameters to improve the ability to extract and predict modal features. After training with a large amount of data, the model can gradually and accurately output the corresponding sample modal data based on the input sample response data, providing reliable model support for the subsequent modal analysis of the test nozzle.
[0053] S34, obtaining test nozzle response data.
[0054] It should be understood that when testing the nozzle under test, the same response data generation system and excitation method used to obtain the sample response data should be used to collect the test nozzle response data under the same or similar test conditions. Ensure that the collection process for the test nozzle response data is consistent with the collection process for the sample response data to ensure the accuracy and comparability of subsequent analysis results.
[0055] S35, inputting the test nozzle response data into the modal data neural network model to generate test nozzle modal data.
[0056] It should be understood that the acquired test nozzle response data is input into a trained modal data neural network model. Based on the previously learned mapping relationships, the model processes and analyzes the test nozzle response data and outputs the corresponding test nozzle modal data, including parameters such as natural frequency and mode shape. This test nozzle modal data is compared with the modal data of a standard sample. If the deviation is within the allowable range, the test nozzle is deemed to be of qualified quality and has good modal consistency. If the deviation exceeds the allowable range, it indicates that the test nozzle may have structural defects or quality issues, requiring further analysis and treatment.
