[0024] The present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings: The first object of the present invention is to provide a method for detecting defects in wind turbines based on phased array ultrasound. Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included: Determine the key components of the wind turbine to be inspected and their inspection areas; According to the geometric characteristics of the detection area, the scanning path, focusing law and sound beam deflection angle of the phased array ultrasonic probe are configured; Coupling the phased array ultrasonic probe to the surface of the component and moving it along the scanning path, while emitting ultrasonic waves and receiving corresponding echo signals according to the focusing law and the acoustic beam deflection angle; generating an ultrasonic image of the detection area according to the echo signal; The ultrasound images are analyzed to identify, locate, and assess the size and nature of the defect.
[0025] The present invention provides a wind turbine defect detection method based on phased array ultrasound, which lays a good foundation for implementing targeted non-destructive testing by determining key components and their specific detection areas, effectively avoiding missed detection and blind scanning, and improving the pertinence and efficiency of detection; further, the scanning path, focusing law and sound beam deflection angle of the phased array probe are accurately configured according to the geometric characteristics of the detection area, which can significantly improve the coverage and resolution of the ultrasonic beam for complex contours and internal structures, ensure that the sound energy is effectively concentrated in the target area, and enhance the strength and signal-to-noise ratio of the defect signal; by coupling the probe and moving it along a predetermined path, and according to the set parameters The emission and reception of ultrasonic waves enables efficient, automated and full-coverage scanning of the inspection area, greatly improving the consistency and repeatability of inspections and reducing the impact of human operational differences on the results; high-quality ultrasonic images are generated based on the received echo signals, converting abstract ultrasonic signals into intuitive image information, providing a reliable data basis for subsequent analysis; ultimately, through intelligent analysis of images, accurate identification, spatial positioning and quantitative assessment of size and properties of defects are achieved, comprehensively improving the accuracy, reliability and intelligence level of defect detection, and providing strong technical support for the safe operation and maintenance of key components of wind turbines.
[0026] Key wind turbine components include the main shaft, gearbox, blades, tower, and generator rotor shaft. These components are subject to complex alternating loads and are prone to fatigue cracking, corrosion, delamination, and other damage, impacting the safety and lifespan of the turbine. The inspection area is a strip-shaped or regional surface and near-surface area extending along the surface of a component, centered on a key feature structure that may harbor defects or stress concentrations.
[0027] Exemplarily, according to the type of the detection area, the step of configuring the scanning path, the focusing law, and the beam deflection angle of the phased array ultrasound probe includes: For planar inspection areas, a linear scanning path is configured, dynamic depth focusing is adopted, and the beam deflection angle is set to 0~50°. This configuration enables high-speed, full-coverage scanning of flat areas. Dynamic depth focusing ensures that the beam energy is concentrated at different depths, significantly improving resolution and signal-to-noise ratio, and effectively identifying tiny defects. At the same time, the combination of linear scanning and controllable angle takes into account both inspection efficiency and accuracy.
[0028] For curved inspection areas, such as blades or towers, a sector-shaped scanning path is configured, using a curved adaptive focusing principle. Dynamic compensation for beam deflection is calculated based on real-time surface curvature data. This approach ensures the beam is always incident perpendicular to the component surface, effectively overcoming acoustic energy scattering and coupling losses caused by curved surfaces. This ensures the accuracy and consistency of acoustic wave propagation within complex structures, significantly improving defect detection rates and positioning accuracy. This approach is particularly suitable for the precise nondestructive evaluation of components with complex geometries.
[0029] Among them, the method for determining the type of detection area is: obtaining high-precision surface three-dimensional morphology data of the detection area of the component to be inspected through three-dimensional laser scanning or structured light measurement technology; calculating its curvature distribution characteristics based on the data, and setting the curvature threshold according to the actual detection accuracy requirements; determining the area with continuous curvature values that are all lower than the set threshold as a planar detection area, and determining the area with curvature values that are continuously higher than or equal to the set threshold as a curved surface detection area.
[0030] Exemplarily, the step of generating an ultrasonic image of the detection area according to the echo signal includes: The received echo signals are preprocessed, mainly including signal gain adjustment, noise filtering, and time-domain noise reduction, to effectively suppress clutter and electromagnetic interference, and improve signal clarity and signal-to-noise ratio. Subsequently, based on the pre-configured scanning path, focusing law, and beam deflection angle, the preprocessed multi-channel echo signals are aligned and synthesized according to their corresponding spatial positions to ensure that the signals accurately correspond to the physical location of the detection area. Finally, delay-and-sum beamforming (DAS) or other adaptive beamforming algorithms are used to spatially reconstruct the synthesized signals to generate an ultrasound image representing the detection area.
[0031] Exemplarily, the steps of analyzing the ultrasound image to identify, locate, and assess the size and nature of the defect include: Extract abnormal feature areas from ultrasound images, analyze the amplitude intensity, time domain characteristics (such as arrival time, pulse width) and spatial distribution characteristics (such as aggregation and directionality) of echo signals, and combine adaptive threshold segmentation and morphological processing to identify suspected defect areas and effectively distinguish real defects from noise or clutter interference; Based on the correspondence between the pixel size obtained by calibration of the ultrasonic imaging system and the actual physical size, the identified defects are accurately located. The depth from the component surface is determined by calculating the echo propagation time and the material sound velocity. Based on the mapping of the scanning path and the probe position, the two-dimensional or three-dimensional spatial coordinates of the defect within the inspection area are determined, achieving a quantitative description of the defect location. Based on the geometric parameters of the defect displayed in the ultrasound image, such as length, height, and area, compensation calculations are performed in combination with the diffusion characteristics of the ultrasonic beam in the material and the probe frequency to correct measurement deviations caused by beam diffusion and detection principles, thereby accurately assessing the actual size of the defect. Based on the morphological characteristics of the defect (such as shape and edge regularity), echo signal characteristics (such as amplitude distribution and spectral characteristics) and its location information on the component, it is matched and compared with the pre-stored defect feature database to comprehensively evaluate the nature of the defect (such as cracks, pores, inclusions, etc.) and output qualitative and quantitative analysis results.
[0032] The method for constructing the pre-stored defect feature database is as follows: A standard test block with known defects is tested, its ultrasonic image features and signal features are extracted, and the features are associated with the corresponding defect types and size parameters to construct the defect feature database.
[0033] The database supports rapid and consistent determination of defect properties in actual inspections, significantly improving the accuracy and efficiency of defect assessments, reducing the results' dependence on human subjective experience, and enhancing the objectivity and engineering applicability of inspection methods.
