Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of detection, in particular to a leak detection system of a steel drum automatic production line. BACKGROUND

[0002] The process means used in steel drum production is very wide, which can be basically divided into three categories, namely machining process, welding process and coating process. The existing leak detection technology on the steel drum production line mainly relies on a single detection means (such as pressure decay method, ultrasonic detection method, machine vision, etc.). The existing system uses the same detection method for all steel drums, and does not dynamically adjust the detection scheme according to the actual state of the drum body (such as the degree of surface defect, the risk level of leakage), resulting in low detection efficiency or high cost.

[0003] Chinese patent application No. CN202211380752.6 discloses a high-definition steel drum impurity detection method, which comprises the following steps: pre-filtering and diluting the diluent to improve the purity of the diluent; pouring the pre-filtered diluent into the steel drum to be detected; closing the barrel mouth of the steel drum, fully shaking the barrel body, and cleaning the barrel; cutting and folding the filter cloth to form a funnel shape, pouring the cleaned diluent in the steel drum through the funnel-shaped filter cloth; maintaining the funnel-shaped filter cloth, immersing the funnel-shaped filter cloth in the container containing the diluent, and then lifting it, completing the immersion and lifting process at least twice, so that the sediment in the filter cloth is concentrated at the bottom of the lower corner of the filter cloth; cutting a section of the sediment area of the funnel-shaped filter cloth, flattening the cut part, and placing it between two glass slides; observing the glass slide and comparing it with the standard piece to determine whether it is qualified. The present application can quickly clean and detect the impurities in the steel drum, and ensure the cleanliness of the paint in the barrel.

[0004] However, the existing technology still has the following problems: The same detection method is used for all steel drums, and the detection scheme is not dynamically adjusted according to the actual state of the drum body (such as the degree of surface defect, the risk level of leakage), resulting in low detection efficiency or high cost. SUMMARY

[0005] Therefore, the present application provides a leak detection system of a steel drum automatic production line to overcome the problem in the prior art that the same detection method is used for all steel drums, and the detection scheme is not dynamically adjusted according to the actual state of the drum body (such as the degree of surface defect, the risk level of leakage), resulting in low detection efficiency or high cost.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present application provides a leak detection system of a steel drum automatic production line. It comprises:

[0007] An image acquisition module is used to acquire image information of the outside of the steel drum; a feature extraction module connected with the image acquisition module, configured to extract abnormal features and dynamic leakage tendency features from the image information; a type determination module connected with the feature extraction module, configured to determine the leakage tendency type of the steel drum according to the number of the extracted abnormal features; a data analysis module connected with the image acquisition module, the feature extraction module and the type determination module respectively, configured to determine the leakage detection method for the steel drum based on the leakage tendency type of the steel drum, comprising: adopting the pressure decay method to perform leakage detection on the steel drum; or, determining whether to adopt the cooperative detection method based on the dynamic leakage tendency features of the steel drum, and calculating the time node of pressure micro-fluctuation and the time interval between the time when the ultrasonic sensor captures the corresponding leakage point signal under the condition of adopting the cooperative detection method, so as to determine the temperature compensation mechanism based on the time interval.

[0008] Further, the type determination module is configured to determine the leakage tendency type of the steel drum according to the number of the extracted abnormal features, comprising: if the number of abnormal features is greater than or equal to a preset number, the type determination module determines that the leakage tendency type of the steel drum is strong leakage tendency; if the number of abnormal features is less than the preset number, the type determination module determines that the leakage tendency type of the steel drum is weak leakage tendency.

[0009] Further, the data analysis module is configured to determine the leakage detection method for the steel drum based on the leakage tendency type of the steel drum, comprising: if the leakage tendency type of the steel drum is strong leakage tendency, the data analysis module determines to adopt the pressure decay method to perform leakage detection on the steel drum; if the leakage tendency type of the steel drum is weak leakage tendency, the data analysis module determines to determine whether to adopt the cooperative detection method based on the dynamic leakage tendency features of the steel drum, and calculates the time node of pressure micro-fluctuation and the time interval between the time when the ultrasonic sensor captures the corresponding leakage point signal under the condition of adopting the cooperative detection method, so as to determine the temperature compensation mechanism based on the time interval.

[0010] Further, the abnormal features of the image information extracted by the feature extraction module include: holes, pits, scratches, and features of tearing, wear and aging cracking of the rubber ring.

[0011] Further, the dynamic leakage tendency features of the image information extracted by the feature extraction module include: features of the expansion tendency of cracks or damage, features of the deformation of the rubber ring with time, the aggravation of aging, or the decline of the fit degree of the rubber ring and the sealing surface due to the micro-deformation of the drum body.

[0012] Furthermore, the data analysis module is used to determine whether to adopt a collaborative detection method based on the dynamic leakage trend characteristics of the steel bucket, including: If the steel bucket exhibits a dynamic leakage tendency, the data analysis module determines to use a collaborative detection method. If the steel bucket does not exhibit dynamic leakage characteristics, the data analysis module determines that the steel bucket should be leak-tested using the vacuum chamber static pressure difference precision measurement method.

[0013] Furthermore, the data analysis module is used to determine a temperature compensation mechanism based on the time interval, including: If the time interval is greater than the first preset time interval and less than or equal to the second preset time interval, the data analysis module determines to adopt the overall temperature compensation mechanism. If the time interval is greater than the second preset time interval, the data analysis module determines to adopt the partition temperature compensation mechanism.

[0014] Furthermore, the data analysis module performs overall temperature compensation based on the overall internal temperature of the steel bucket and the gas state equation, calculating the temperature-pressure correction coefficient.

[0015] Furthermore, the data analysis module divides the steel bucket into several regions, and calculates pressure correction values ​​based on real-time temperature data of several regions, and obtains correction coefficients by weighted summation.

[0016] Furthermore, the collaborative detection method involves using a vacuum chamber static pressure difference precision measurement method and an ultrasonic detection method to perform leak detection on the steel bucket.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: In the present invention, abnormal features such as tearing of sealing rings are locked by image recognition, and the actual leakage is verified by pressure attenuation method or collaborative detection. This avoids the omission of potential leakage by single visual detection or the misjudgment of single pressure detection due to temperature interference. A targeted temperature compensation mechanism is introduced. Through the dynamic adaptation compensation strategy of pressure and ultrasonic signal time interval, the influence of ambient temperature fluctuation on pressure detection is effectively eliminated. Especially in scenarios with multiple leak points and large temperature gradients, the detection accuracy is greatly improved.

[0018] Furthermore, in this invention, a quantitative correlation between the "number of abnormal features" and the "actual leakage probability" is established through historical data statistics, making the setting of the preset quantity more scientific rather than subjective experience. Considering that the quality requirements of different production lines (such as chemical drums and ordinary packaging drums) are different, the preset quantity can be customized through historical data to match the classification of leakage tendency types with the risk level of product use (such as a lower preset quantity for chemical drums, which triggers the strong leakage tendency judgment earlier).

[0019] Furthermore, in this invention, for steel buckets with a strong tendency to leak (such as those with multiple holes, severe tearing of the rubber ring, or other high-frequency abnormal features), the pressure attenuation method is directly adopted. This method is simple to operate and has a fast response, and can verify whether there is obvious leakage (such as a rapid drop in pressure) in a short time. It is suitable for rapid screening in high-risk scenarios and avoids delays in the production line due to complex testing procedures. For steel buckets with a weak tendency to leak (such as only 1-2 minor scratches or slight wear of the rubber ring), the testing method is determined by combining dynamic leakage trend characteristics (such as whether the crack is expanding or whether the rubber ring fit is decreasing). When there is no dynamic trend, the vacuum chamber static pressure difference precision measurement method is adopted, which focuses on the accurate identification of minute leaks. When there is a dynamic trend, collaborative detection is enabled and temperature compensation is optimized through time intervals. This ensures the detection accuracy while avoiding the overuse of high-end equipment for low-risk buckets, thus balancing the detection cost and reliability.

[0020] Furthermore, in this invention, for steel buckets exhibiting dynamic leakage tendencies, a collaborative detection method is employed. This method combines the high precision of the vacuum chamber static pressure difference measurement method (capable of identifying minute leaks) with the location capability of ultrasonic detection (locking the leak point location), along with a temperature compensation mechanism to eliminate environmental interference. This ensures accurate assessment of "developing risks" and avoids missed detections due to insufficient detection methods (e.g., using only the static pressure difference method may overlook instantaneous leaks caused by crack propagation). For steel buckets without dynamic leakage tendencies (e.g., stable abnormal characteristics, no propagation, or accelerated aging trend), the lower-cost and simpler-to-operate vacuum chamber static pressure difference measurement method can meet the requirements, reducing detection costs while ensuring detection accuracy.

[0021] Furthermore, in this invention, for statically placed steel buckets without significant temperature gradients (such as weakly inclined buckets without dynamic leakage tendency characteristics), overall temperature compensation does not require partitioned calculations. Correction can be completed solely through a single volume and overall temperature, which is suitable for the real-time detection needs of automated production lines. This avoids complex algorithms slowing down the detection pace. The system automatically selects the compensation method based on the time interval between the pressure and ultrasonic signals. When the time interval is short (few leakage points, small temperature gradient), overall compensation is used (efficient), while when the time interval is long (many leakage points, large gradient), partitioned compensation is used (accurate). This ensures both the detection speed in simple scenarios and the accuracy requirements in complex scenarios. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, Figure 1 This is a structural block diagram of the leak detection system for the automatic steel bucket production line of the present invention. Figure 2 Flowchart for determining the leakage tendency type of the steel bucket; Figure 3A flowchart for determining the leakage detection method for steel buckets; Figure 4 A flowchart for determining whether to use a collaborative detection method.

[0029] The leak detection system for the automated steel bucket production line provided in this embodiment includes: The image acquisition module is used to acquire image information of the exterior of the steel bucket; A feature extraction module, which is connected to the image acquisition module, is used to extract abnormal features and dynamic leakage trend features from the image information; A type determination module, which is connected to the feature extraction module, is used to determine the leakage tendency type of the steel bucket based on the number of extracted abnormal features; A data analysis module, connected to the image acquisition module, the feature extraction module, and the type determination module, is used to determine the leak detection method for the steel bucket based on its leakage tendency type, including: Leakage testing of the steel bucket was performed using the pressure attenuation method. Alternatively, based on the dynamic leakage trend characteristics of the steel bucket, determine whether to adopt a collaborative detection method. If a collaborative detection method is adopted, calculate the time interval between the time node of the pressure micro-fluctuation and the time interval between the ultrasonic sensor capturing the corresponding leak signal, and determine the temperature compensation mechanism based on the time interval.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, the specific structure of the image acquisition module is not limited, as long as it can achieve the corresponding function, and an industrial camera or an infrared thermal imaging camera can be used.

[0031] Specifically, there are no restrictions on the specific structure of the feature extraction module, the type determination module, and the data analysis module. They can be composed of logical components, including field-programmable processors, computers, and microprocessors in computers.

[0032] In this invention, abnormal features such as tearing of the sealing ring are identified by image recognition, and the actual leakage is verified by pressure attenuation method or collaborative detection. This avoids the omission of potential leakage by single visual detection or the misjudgment of single pressure detection due to temperature interference. A targeted temperature compensation mechanism is introduced. Through a dynamic adaptation compensation strategy of pressure and ultrasonic signal time interval, the influence of ambient temperature fluctuation on pressure detection is effectively eliminated. Especially in scenarios with multiple leaks and large temperature gradients, the detection accuracy is greatly improved.

[0033] Specifically, the type determination module is used to determine the leakage tendency type of the steel bucket based on the number of extracted abnormal features, including: If the number of abnormal features is greater than or equal to the preset number, the type determination module determines that the leakage tendency type of the steel bucket is a strong leakage tendency. If the number of abnormal features is less than the preset number, the type determination module determines that the leakage tendency type of the steel bucket is weak leakage tendency.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the preset quantity can be determined in the following way: by analyzing historical detection data of the production line, the correlation between the "number of abnormal features" and the "actual leakage probability" is statistically analyzed. If the data shows that "when the number of abnormal features is ≥3, the actual leakage probability of the steel bucket exceeds 90%", then the preset quantity can be set to 3; if "when the number of abnormal features is <2, the actual leakage probability is less than 5%", then the preset quantity can be set to 2 to reduce misjudgment.

[0035] In this invention, a quantitative correlation between the "number of abnormal features" and the "actual leakage probability" is established through historical data statistics, making the setting of the preset quantity more scientific rather than subjective experience. Considering that the quality requirements of different production lines (such as chemical drums and ordinary packaging drums) are different, the preset quantity can be customized through historical data to match the classification of leakage tendency types with the risk level of product use (such as a lower preset quantity for chemical drums, which triggers the strong leakage tendency judgment earlier).

[0036] Specifically, the data analysis module is used to determine the leak detection method for the steel bucket based on its leakage tendency type, including: If the leakage tendency of the steel bucket is strong, the data analysis module determines that the pressure decay method should be used to detect the leakage of the steel bucket. If the leakage tendency type of the steel bucket is weak leakage tendency, the data analysis module determines whether to adopt a collaborative detection method based on the dynamic leakage tendency characteristics of the steel bucket. Under the condition of adopting the collaborative detection method, the time interval between the time node of the pressure micro-fluctuation and the time interval between the ultrasonic sensor capturing the corresponding leak point signal is calculated, so as to determine the temperature compensation mechanism based on the time interval.

[0037] Specifically, the abnormal features extracted from the image information by the feature extraction module include: holes, pits, scratches, and features of tearing, wear, aging and cracking of the rubber ring.

[0038] In this invention, for steel buckets with a strong tendency to leak (such as those with multiple holes, severe tearing of the rubber ring, and other high-frequency abnormal features), the pressure attenuation method is directly adopted. This method is simple to operate and has a fast response, and can verify whether there is obvious leakage (such as a rapid drop in pressure) in a short time. It is suitable for rapid screening in high-risk scenarios and avoids delays in the production line due to complex testing procedures. For steel buckets with a weak tendency to leak (such as only 1-2 minor scratches or slight wear of the rubber ring), the testing method is determined by combining dynamic leakage trend characteristics (such as whether the crack is expanding or whether the rubber ring fit is decreasing). When there is no dynamic trend, the vacuum chamber static pressure difference precision measurement method is used to focus on the accurate identification of minute leaks. When there is a dynamic trend, collaborative detection is enabled and temperature compensation is optimized through time intervals. This ensures detection accuracy while avoiding the overuse of high-end equipment for low-risk buckets, thus balancing detection cost and reliability.

[0039] Specifically, the dynamic leakage trend features extracted by the feature extraction module in the image information include: the expansion trend of cracks or damage, and the features of the sealing ring deforming over time, aging, or the decrease in the fit between the sealing ring and the sealing surface due to micro-deformation of the barrel.

[0040] Specifically, the data analysis module is used to determine whether to adopt a collaborative detection method based on the dynamic leakage trend characteristics of the steel bucket, including: If the steel bucket exhibits a dynamic leakage tendency, the data analysis module determines to use a collaborative detection method. If the steel bucket does not exhibit dynamic leakage characteristics, the data analysis module determines that the steel bucket should be leak-tested using the vacuum chamber static pressure difference precision measurement method.

[0041] In this invention, for steel buckets exhibiting dynamic leakage tendencies, a collaborative detection method is employed. This method combines the high precision of the vacuum chamber static pressure difference measurement method (capable of identifying minute leaks) with the location capability of ultrasonic detection (locking the leak point location), along with a temperature compensation mechanism to eliminate environmental interference. This ensures accurate assessment of "developing risks" and avoids missed detections due to insufficient detection methods (e.g., using only the static pressure difference method may overlook instantaneous leaks caused by crack propagation). For steel buckets without dynamic leakage tendencies (e.g., stable abnormal characteristics, no propagation, or accelerated aging trend), the lower-cost and simpler-to-operate vacuum chamber static pressure difference measurement method can meet the requirements, reducing detection costs while ensuring detection accuracy.

[0042] Specifically, the data analysis module is used to determine a temperature compensation mechanism based on the time interval, including: If the time interval is greater than the first preset time interval and less than or equal to the second preset time interval, the data analysis module determines to adopt the overall temperature compensation mechanism. If the time interval is greater than the second preset time interval, the data analysis module determines to adopt the partition temperature compensation mechanism.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first preset time interval and the second preset time interval can be determined in the following ways: pressure sensor response time: tp = 10ms (the delay from the occurrence of pressure fluctuation to the sensor detecting the signal), ultrasonic sensor response time: tu = 1ms (the delay from the generation of the leak signal to the sensor capturing it), and the system's inherent minimum time interval (excluding equipment error): tmin = tp - tu = 9ms. Through steel bucket tests under different leakage scenarios, the following statistical results were obtained: for a single leak point under normal temperature conditions, the typical time interval is 10ms ≤ Δt ≤ 50ms, and the number of leak points is 1-2; for multiple leak points under conditions of uneven local temperature, the typical time interval is Δt > 50ms, and the number of leak points is greater than or equal to 3. Taking the upper limit of the system's inherent minimum time interval to ensure that the influence of equipment error is excluded, the first preset time interval is set to 10ms. Based on the critical time difference between "single leak point and multiple leak points" in the experimental data, the second preset time interval is set to 50ms.

[0044] Specifically, the data analysis module performs overall temperature compensation based on the overall internal temperature of the steel bucket and the gas state equation to calculate the temperature-pressure correction coefficient.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, combining the gas law (ideal gas law), taking the overall temperature compensation mechanism of the data analysis module as an example, the parameters of the steel bucket are: volume 20L (i.e., 0.02³), and the initial sealed gas inside the bucket is air (which can be approximated as an ideal gas); the detection environment is: a collaborative detection method (vacuum chamber static pressure difference precision measurement method + ultrasonic detection method) is adopted, with a pressure sensor accuracy of ±0.1kPa and a temperature sensor accuracy of ±0.05℃; the baseline state is: at the initial detection, the overall internal temperature of the steel bucket T0 = 293K (20℃), and the initial pressure inside the bucket P0 = 100kPa (standard atmospheric pressure). At this time, it is confirmed that there is no leakage, and it is recorded as the baseline parameter; real-time detection data is: during the detection process, due to the fluctuation of the ambient temperature, the real-time overall temperature inside the bucket T1 = 303K (30℃), and the real-time reading of the pressure sensor P1 = 103kPa; based on the ideal gas law PV = nRT (where n is the amount of gaseous substance, R is the gas constant, and V is the internal volume of the bucket), when there is no leakage, n, V, and R are constants, and the pressure is proportional to the temperature: ,in, This is the theoretical pressure value under leak-free conditions after temperature change; substitute the known data: The correction factor k is defined as the ratio of theoretical pressure to real-time pressure, used to eliminate the effect of temperature on pressure. If the detection objective is "to determine whether there is a leak," then the real-time pressure is converted to the equivalent pressure at the reference temperature using a correction factor. ,at this time, This indicates that the pressure change was caused solely by temperature, and there was no leakage; if The difference is the actual pressure change caused by the leakage.

[0046] In this invention, for statically placed steel buckets without significant temperature gradients (such as weakly inclined buckets without dynamic leakage tendency characteristics), overall temperature compensation does not require partitioned calculations. Correction can be completed solely through a single volume and overall temperature, which is suitable for the real-time detection needs of automated production lines. This avoids complex algorithms slowing down the detection pace. The system automatically selects the compensation method based on the time interval between the pressure and ultrasonic signals. When the time interval is short (few leakage points, small temperature gradient), overall compensation is used (efficient), while when the time interval is long (many leakage points, large gradient), partitioned compensation is used (accurate). This ensures both the detection speed in simple scenarios and the accuracy requirements in complex scenarios.

[0047] Specifically, the data analysis module divides the steel bucket into several regions, calculates pressure correction values ​​based on real-time temperature data of the several regions, and obtains correction coefficients by weighted summation.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, when dividing the area, the parts that are prone to defects during the processing are divided into separate areas, and the weighting coefficient can be determined based on the historical leakage frequency of that location.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, based on the parts of the steel bucket that are prone to defects during processing (combined with historical leakage data), they are divided into 5 key areas. The criteria for dividing each area and the weight coefficient (reflecting the historical leakage frequency) are as follows: Area 1: Bucket opening sealing ring (classification criteria: installation deviation, aging or wear of the sealing ring, a high-frequency leakage point), historical leakage frequency is 35%, weight coefficient is 0.35; Area 2: Longitudinal weld seam of the bucket body (classification criteria: prone to incomplete fusion and porosity during welding, a major structural defect), historical leakage frequency... The historical leakage frequency of Area 1 is 25%, with a weighting coefficient of 0.25; Area 2: Bottom circumferential weld (classification basis: the connection between the bottom and the body of the barrel, which is prone to micro-cracks under stress), with a historical leakage frequency of 20%, and a weighting coefficient of 0.2; Area 3: Bottom circumferential weld (classification basis: the connection between the bottom and the body of the barrel, which is prone to micro-cracks under stress), with a historical leakage frequency of 15%, and a weighting coefficient of 0.15; Area 4: Top handle weld (classification basis: the welding stress is concentrated during the installation of the handle, which is prone to incomplete welds), with a historical leakage frequency of 15%, and a weighting coefficient of 0.15; Area 5: Side wall of the barrel (classification basis: scratches may occur during rolling or handling, but the leakage frequency is low), with a historical leakage frequency of 5%, and a weighting coefficient of 0.05. Using distributed temperature sensors (two measuring points per area, average value taken), the real-time temperature Ti of each area is collected. The reference temperature T0 at the initial moment (no leakage state) is detected to be 293K, or 20℃, as follows: Area 1, real-time temperature 295K (22℃), difference from the reference temperature is +2K; Area 2, real-time temperature 294K (21℃), difference from the reference temperature is +1K; Area 3, 296K (23℃), difference from the reference temperature is +3K; Area 4, 293K (20℃), difference from the reference temperature is 0K; Area 5, 292K (19℃), difference from the reference temperature is -1K. Based on the ideal gas law, the pressure correction value Ki for each area is the ratio of the real-time temperature to the reference temperature (reflecting the influence coefficient of temperature on pressure). The pressure correction values ​​for each region are calculated as follows: Region 1, pressure correction value is 295 / 293≈1.0068; Region 2, pressure correction value is 294 / 293≈1.0034; Region 3, pressure correction value is 296 / 293≈1.0102; Region 4, pressure correction value is 293 / 293=1.0000; Region 5, pressure correction value is 292 / 293≈0.9966; The total correction coefficient (K) is the weighted sum of the pressure correction value of each region and the corresponding weight coefficient, and the formula is as follows: Substituting the data, the calculation is as follows: K = (0.35 × 1.0068) + (0.25 × 1.0034) + (0.20 × 1.0102) + (0.15 × 1.0000) + (0.05 × 0.9966) ≈ 1.0051; The total correction coefficient K ≈ 1.0051 is used to correct the overall pressure measurement value of the steel bucket. For example, if the real-time pressure inside the bucket is detected to be 100 kPa, then the corrected equivalent pressure (eliminating the influence of temperature gradient) is 100 × 1.0051 = 100.51 kPa.

[0050] Specifically, the collaborative detection method involves using a vacuum chamber static pressure difference precision measurement method and an ultrasonic detection method to perform leak detection on the steel bucket.
