TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of detection, and in particular to a valve quality detection method and a detection system thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Valve quality detection refers to various tests and evaluations on valves. Through detection and evaluation, the quality of the valve can be ensured to meet the design and manufacturing standards, so that the reliability, stability and safety of the valve in the use process can be ensured, installation problems can be found and corrected as soon as possible, and production stoppage and equipment damage caused by valve failure can be avoided.
[0003] A patent application with the publication number CN118641631B discloses a valve quality detection method and a detection system thereof, which is used to solve the problem of high labor and financial cost caused by overall replacement of the valve when the valve rod is stuck. The method includes the following steps: screening out the valve sub-blocks prone to corrosion, detecting the corrosion degree of the surface of the screened valve sub-blocks in real time, calculating the average corrosion coefficient, calculating the crack characteristic coefficient of each valve rod sub-region, clustering the crack characteristic coefficient, calculating the surface damage coefficient of the valve rod according to the clustering result, collecting the repair cost and the replacement cost of the valve, calculating the replacement cost coefficient, comprehensively evaluating the valve replacement index, and judging whether to replace or repair the valve. The progress speed of the project is effectively improved, the replacement and repair of the valve can be judged in time according to the valve condition when the valve rod is damaged, and the project cost is effectively saved.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned scheme still has some problems in actual application. The corrosion detection of the above-mentioned scheme has limitations. The corrosion degree formula used only depends on the thickness change, but in actual corrosion, it will show local forms such as pitting and stress corrosion cracking. The ultrasonic thickness measurement is difficult to accurately capture such non-uniform corrosion, and the crack characteristic coefficient formula used only calculates the area ratio of the surface crack, ignoring the crack depth, which will directly affect the remaining strength of the valve rod. The visual detection is also easily blocked by the complex structure such as the valve rod thread and the groove, resulting in missed detection.
[0005] Therefore, an innovative valve quality detection method and a detection system thereof are needed. SUMMARY

[0014] Further, the active scanning module is built-in with an anti-shake mechanism, which includes a gyroscope to detect vibration amplitude in real time and a piezoelectric ceramic driver to dynamically compensate for optical path deviation.
[0015] Further, the data analysis module deploys a transfer learning model to identify corrosion-crack coupling failure modes through a pre-trained crack feature library, the transfer learning model uses ResNet34 as a backbone network, is pre-trained on an ImageNet dataset, fine-tunes the fully connected layer using 100,000 valve crack images, and outputs a corrosion-crack coupling failure probability P, which triggers an alarm when P>0.9.

[0023] Further, the collection of environmental parameters uses a multi-parameter sensor array built into the valve flow channel.
[0024] Further, the laser scanning is driven by a rotating mechanism to rotate the laser displacement meter 360° around the valve stem axis at a scanning speed of 10 rpm.
[0025] Further, the rotating mechanism includes an adaptive positioning clamp that can dynamically adjust the scanning radius according to the diameter of the valve stem.
[0026] Further, the crack depth detection uses a triangulation method, in which the laser displacement meter emits a linear laser to the surface of the valve stem, and the deformed laser stripe is captured by a CCD sensor, and the depth D_i is calculated based on the stripe distortion. It should be noted that the formula for calculating the depth is D_i=Δx×f / M×sinθ, where Δx is the spot displacement, f is the lens focal length, M is the magnification, and θ=45°±2° is the laser incidence angle.
[0027] Further, the fusion process in S5 includes establishing a health index HI = (DC^w1 × CV^w2) ^ [1 / (w1+w2)], where the weights w1 and w2 are determined by the valve material type, and when HI≥0.15, output a replacement suggestion. It should be noted that the weights w1 and w2 are called from the material database, and the transfer learning model uses a ResNet34 backbone network, which is pre-trained on ImageNet and fine-tuned on 100,000 crack images.
[0028] A valve quality detection system, comprising: A multi-modal sensor module 1 for collecting valve thickness, pitting and environmental parameters; An active scanning module 2 physically integrated with the multi-modal sensor module 1 for performing three-dimensional scanning of the valve stem; A data analysis module 3 electrically connected to the multi-modal sensor module 1 and the active scanning module 2 for performing comprehensive corrosion coefficient and crack volume density calculation; A decision output module 4 electrically connected to the data analysis module 3 for generating a visual health index report.
[0029] Further, the active scanning module 2 is built-in with an anti-shake mechanism, which includes a gyroscope to detect the vibration amplitude in real time and a piezoelectric ceramic driver to dynamically compensate for the optical path offset.
[0030] Further, the data analysis module 3 deploys a transfer learning model to identify corrosion-crack coupling failure modes through a pre-trained crack feature library.
[0031] Working principle: This method first divides the valve structure into n regular sub-blocks according to the valve structure. Through the integrated composite sensing module of ultrasonic probe, eddy current sensor and multi-parameter environmental probe, the thickness data, pitting signal and environmental parameters such as medium temperature, pH value and Cl - concentration of each block are synchronously collected. Among them, the ultrasonic thickness measurement module uses a 5MHz probe to obtain the current thickness h, and combines the initial thickness h0 and the minimum safe thickness h_c of the material to calculate the basic corrosion amount; the eddy current sensor detects the pitting area A_p through a 10kHz alternating magnetic field to quantify the degree of local corrosion; after the environmental parameters are collected by the built-in sensor array in real time, the corrosion promoting factor E_env = k1T + k2pH + k3C_Cl - is constructed, where k1, k2, k3 are environmental influence coefficients based on NACE standard fitting.
[0032] In the damage quantification link, the method generates a comprehensive corrosion coefficient DC = [(h-h_c) / ( h0-h_c) + α×(A_p / A0)]×(1+β×E_env), where α and β are calibration coefficients calibrated according to the corrosion resistance of the material, realizing the joint evaluation of uniform corrosion and local corrosion. For valve rod detection, a 650nm laser displacement meter is used to cooperate with a rotating mechanism for 360° three-dimensional scanning, and the crack depth D_i is calculated by triangulation method (D_i = Δx × f / M × sinθ), combined with point cloud data to extract crack length L_i and width W_i, and then the volume density CV = Σ(L_i × W_i × D_i) / V_total is obtained, breaking through the limitations of traditional two-dimensional features on strength evaluation.
[0033] In the health assessment stage, the system fuses the damage indicators based on HI = (DC^w1 × CV^w2)^[1 / (w1+w2)], where w1 and w2 are automatically retrieved from the database according to the valve material type (such as 316L stainless steel or ductile cast iron), and a replacement suggestion is triggered when HI≥0.15. The detection system includes four modules: the multi-modal sensor module 1 synchronously collects multi-source signals through time division multiplexing technology; the active scanning module 2 uses a motor-driven rotating bracket (scanning speed 10rpm) combined with a gyroscope-piezoelectric ceramic anti-shake mechanism (accuracy ±0.05mm) to realize full coverage of complex structures; the data analysis module 3 deploys a pre-trained ResNet34 transfer learning model to recognize corrosion-crack coupling failure modes through fine-tuning of 100,000 crack images; the decision output module 4 generates a visual report containing a three-dimensional damage cloud map.
