Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of elevator safety inspection, and in particular to an elevator wire rope inspection device and its inspection method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, various elevator wire rope testing devices have appeared on the market. These devices typically use weak magnetic detection technology as their core. They collect magnetic field signals of the wire rope after it has been magnetized by setting up magnetic sensors, and then analyze the signals to determine whether the wire rope has defects such as broken wires or wear.

[0003] However, in actual testing, elevator wire ropes exhibit inconsistent initial magnetic fields due to variations in material, model, and service life. This difference in initial magnetic field causes drift in the reference magnetic field during subsequent testing, making it difficult for the detection system to accurately distinguish between normal and defective magnetic field signals. This leads to misjudgments or missed detections of wire rope defects. Furthermore, in actual elevator wire ropes, defects such as broken wires, wear, corrosion, and fatigue are often not isolated but intertwined. The weak magnetic field characteristic signals generated by these different types of defects are spatially very similar, sometimes even overlapping. Existing detection methods can only make an overall judgment on the presence of defects in the wire rope, unable to quantify the severity of each defect or effectively distinguish between different types of defects, thus exhibiting significant limitations in the accuracy and detail of defect detection.

[0004] The reason for this problem is that existing detection devices do not specifically treat the initial magnetic field of the wire rope before detection. They directly magnetize the wire rope with a fixed intensity, resulting in wire ropes with large differences in initial magnetic field that cannot form a uniform and stable reference magnetic field after magnetization, which has limitations. In addition, the sensors used in existing detection devices are mostly single-type magnetic sensors, which can only collect magnetic field signals in a single dimension. It is difficult to fully capture the unique magnetic field characteristics of different defects. Furthermore, they can only perform basic filtering and amplification on the collected raw signals, lacking multi-dimensional in-depth analysis of the signals in the time domain, frequency domain, and spatial domain. They cannot extract the feature information corresponding to different defects from overlapping signals, ultimately making it impossible to effectively distinguish and quantitatively evaluate different types of defects. Summary of the Invention

[0093] In this embodiment, the initial magnetic field distribution data is first obtained by pre-scanning the steel wire rope using an initial magnetic field sensor array. Then, based on this data, the steel wire rope is differentially magnetized using multi-stage adjustable electromagnets to eliminate the initial magnetic field differences. Next, the magnetic field after magnetization is monitored by a reference magnetic field sensor array, compared with the target value, and the current is adjusted to ensure the stability of the reference magnetic field. Afterward, defect signals are simultaneously acquired using eddy current, fluxgate, and three-dimensional leakage magnetic field sensors.

The multi-task learning model weights the features through an attention weight matrix to highlight key features. Finally, through the various branches of the output layer, defects such as wire breakage, corrosion, and fatigue damage are quantitatively evaluated to achieve accurate detection.

[0102] S8. Final Result Output: The output layer of the multi-task learning model compares the feature vectors with the database to determine the specific defects of the wire rope and outputs the results.

[0103] The calculation formula in S1 is as follows:

[0104]

[0105] This represents the initial residual magnetic field; These represent the axial, circumferential, and normal magnetic field components, respectively.

[0106] The calculation formula for S2 is as follows:

[0107]

[0108] The magnetization intensity; Current intensity; denoted as the magnetization coefficient of the electromagnet.

[0109] The formula for the magnetization control loop in S3 is as follows:

[0112] In order to be in The output excitation current value;

[0113] exist The control deviation value measured at each moment is calculated using the following formula;

[0114]

[0116] This is the proportional gain coefficient; This is the integral gain coefficient; The differential gain coefficient;

[0117] For deviation From time 0 to the present The integral at any given moment represents the cumulative sum of all historical deviations; For deviation At the present moment The derivative represents the instantaneous rate of change of the deviation.

[0118] In this embodiment, the magnetic memory planning component 2 contains, from left to right, an initial magnetic field sensor, a multi-level adjustable electromagnet, and a reference magnetic field sensor array, while the weak magnetic field detection component 3 contains a processor, an eddy current sensor, a fluxgate sensor, and a three-dimensional leakage magnetic field sensor.

[0119] When the wire rope enters from the left entrance of the magnetic memory planning component 2, it first passes through the initial magnetic field sensor. This sensor uses high-sensitivity Hall elements, with six sensors evenly arranged along the circumference of the wire rope at 60° intervals. It collects the residual magnetic field strength data on the surface of the wire rope in real time and transmits the data to the processor of the weak magnetic field detection component 3. The processor generates an initial magnetic field distribution map based on the data and analyzes the magnetic field differences at different locations on the wire rope. Subsequently, the wire rope enters the multi-stage adjustable electromagnet region. This component contains four independent electromagnets, each with a core made of high-permeability silicon steel sheets stacked together, and the coil has 800 turns. Based on the initial magnetic field difference, the processor sends instructions to the current controller of each electromagnet to adjust the input current, gradually offsetting the influence of the initial magnetic field unevenness through differentiated magnetization. Finally, the magnetized wire rope passes through a reference magnetic field sensor array, which has the same structure as the initial magnetic field sensor. This array collects the magnetic field data after magnetization in real time and feeds it back to the processor for comparison with the target magnetic field value. If the difference exceeds the allowable error range, the processor immediately adjusts the current of the multi-stage adjustable electromagnets to form a closed-loop control. Ultimately, when the wire rope leaves the magnetic memory planning component 2, the surface magnetic field uniformity reaches more than 98%, providing a stable benchmark for subsequent weak magnetic field detection.

[0120] When the wire rope, after being regulated by the magnetic memory planning component 2, enters the weak magnetic field detection component 3, the eddy current sensor is first triggered. This sensor emits a 1MHz high-frequency sinusoidal excitation signal, inducing eddy currents on the surface of the wire rope. If there are defects such as rust or microcracks, the eddy current path will be distorted, causing the phase shift of the eddy current reflection signal received by the sensor. The processor calculates the rust depth or crack length by analyzing the phase shift. Next, the fluxgate sensor detects the overall magnetic field change of the wire rope. When the wire rope has broken wires or fatigue damage, the internal magnetic domains are disordered, causing abnormal fluctuations in the magnetic field strength. The processor captures the fluctuation signal and outputs the data. Finally, the three-dimensional leakage magnetic field sensor collects the leakage magnetic field signals in the X, Y, and Z directions at the defect location at a sampling rate of 2kHz. The three-dimensional coordinates and morphological characteristics of the defect are determined through spatial domain analysis. The processor performs multi-domain feature extraction and weighted focusing calculation on the signals collected by the three sensors and transmits them to the external terminal device through the data module.

[0121] The processor is an industrial-grade microcontroller chip. Combined with the data transmission module, the processor forms a complete data processing and transmission link: First, the processor receives raw data collected by various sensors and performs multi-domain feature extraction, feature weighting and focusing, and other algorithmic processing. Then, the processed feature data is uploaded to the cloud server through the data transmission module. The cloud uses more powerful computing resources to run a deep-trained multi-task model to complete defect type judgment and quantitative evaluation. Finally, the cloud sends the judgment results back to the processor through the data transmission module. The processor integrates the results and generates a specific defect detection report, which is then transmitted to the user terminal.
