The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the steps of a microwave scanning-based joint defect type detection method in the first embodiment of this application, aimed at accurately determining the defect type of the joint to be detected. The method includes: Step 101: Perform a 360° microwave scan on the standard cable terminal joint to obtain the average voltage amplitude and average phase of the first microwave reflection signal during the microwave scan; the standard cable terminal joint is a defect-free cable terminal joint. Step 102: Perform a 360° microwave scan on the cable terminal joint to be tested, and obtain the first voltage amplitude and first phase of the second microwave reflection signal when the cable terminal joint to be tested is microwave scanned; Step 103: Detect the joint defect type of the cable terminal joint to be tested based on the average voltage amplitude, the average phase, the first voltage amplitude, and the first phase.

[0024] Specifically, firstly, a 360° omnidirectional microwave scan is performed on the standard cable terminal joint (in a defect-free state) to obtain the average voltage amplitude and average phase of the first microwave reflected signal, establishing a defect-free benchmark and eliminating signal fluctuations caused by differences in joint structure symmetry, material uniformity, and scanning angle. The same scanning operation is then performed on the cable terminal joint to be inspected to obtain the first voltage amplitude and first phase of the second microwave reflected signal. During the scanning process, it is necessary to ensure that the frequency, power, and scanning step size of the microwave excitation signal are consistent with those of the standard cable terminal joint to guarantee data comparability. Based on the average voltage amplitude, average phase, first voltage amplitude, and first phase, the cable terminal joint to be inspected is then used to detect the type of defect.

[0025] The method in this embodiment uses a 360° microwave scan of a standard cable terminal joint to obtain the average voltage amplitude and average phase of the first microwave reflected signal as a reference. Then, the same scan is performed on the cable terminal joint to be tested to obtain the first voltage amplitude and first phase of the second microwave reflected signal.

By comparing the average voltage amplitude and average phase with the first voltage amplitude and first phase, the defect type of the joint to be tested can be accurately determined.

[0027] Specifically, the spiral scanning trajectory can cover the axial and radial areas of the cable terminal joint. During the scanning process, the microwave probe moves along the joint axis in fixed steps, and rotates by a preset angle (e.g., 10°) after each step, forming a spiral scanning path. This trajectory design ensures comprehensive acquisition of reflected signals from all locations of the joint, avoiding missed defects due to local scanning omissions. At each scanning point, the second voltage amplitude and second phase of the first microwave reflected signal are acquired. For example, if the axial length of the joint is 100mm, the step distance is 2mm, and the rotation angle is 10°, then a total of (100 / 2)×(360 / 10)=1800 sets of data need to be acquired. Through high-density sampling, signal changes in minute areas of the joint can be captured, providing detailed data support for subsequent analysis. The arithmetic mean of all second voltage amplitudes is taken to obtain the average voltage amplitude; the arithmetic mean of all second phases is taken to obtain the average phase. This averaging process can effectively eliminate random noise and signal fluctuations caused by minor unevenness on the joint surface, establishing a stable defect-free benchmark.

[0028] In a specific embodiment, the preset spiral scanning trajectory is obtained using the following formula:

[0029] in, Let be the radial displacement function of the scanning probe in polar coordinates. This is the axial displacement function of the scanning probe in polar coordinates. This represents the initial offset of the scanning probe from the axis of the cable terminal connector. To control the preset growth rate of the helix radius as the angle changes, This is the preset amplitude scaling factor. To adjust the angular frequency of the radial wave density, The number of cycles in the radial plane is the number of the spiral's expansion. The preset exponential attenuation coefficient is used to offset the effects of mechanical backlash. This is the preset sensitivity of the exponential decay term to changes in angle. To establish the reference height for the starting end face of the scan, To control the movement speed of the probe along the axial direction of the cable terminal joint, This represents the number of cycles of the spiral winding along the axial direction of the cable terminal joint. To superimpose the fluctuation amplitude of the axial micro-oscillation, The angular frequency of the axial oscillation. The preset phase adjustment amount is used to eliminate mechanical resonance. The angle is the rotation angle.

[0030] Specifically, by superimposing sinusoidal fluctuations with exponential decay, the risk of mechanical resonance is reduced while ensuring coverage. Automatic compensation for radial offset caused by fixture clearance improves actual measurement positioning accuracy. Axial oscillation term. The three-dimensional interwoven scanning with radial ripples results in a smaller blind area compared to traditional methods.

[0033] In a specific embodiment, the relative value of the voltage amplitude difference is obtained using the following formula:

[0034] in, For the first i The relative value of the voltage amplitude difference at each scan point For the first i The first voltage amplitude at each scan point The average voltage amplitude, The voltage amplitude error, This is the preset temperature correction factor. This is the preset humidity correction factor. This is the preset signal-to-noise ratio correction factor.

[0035] Specifically, this embodiment introduces a temperature correction coefficient. Humidity correction factor and signal-to-noise ratio correction factor This effectively eliminates the influence of environmental interference (such as temperature and humidity changes) and signal noise on the detection results. For example, changes in the dielectric constant of insulating materials at high temperatures may cause a shift in the reflected signal. After correction, environmental interference and actual defects can be accurately distinguished, avoiding misjudgment.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, the relative value of the phase transformation amount is obtained using the following formula:

[0038] In a specific embodiment, the step of detecting the defect type of the cable terminal joint under test based on the relative value of the voltage amplitude difference and the relative value of the phase transformation includes: if the relative value of the voltage amplitude difference is greater than a second threshold and the relative value of the phase transformation is greater than a first threshold, then the defect type of the cable terminal joint under test is a conductive impurity defect; if the relative value of the voltage amplitude difference is greater than a third threshold and less than or equal to the second threshold, and the relative value of the phase transformation is greater than the third threshold and less than or equal to the second threshold, then the defect type of the cable terminal joint under test is a main insulation scratch defect; if the relative value of the voltage amplitude difference is less than 0 and the absolute value of the relative value of the voltage amplitude difference is greater than the third threshold, and the relative value of the phase transformation is greater than the second threshold and less than the first threshold, then the defect type of the cable terminal joint under test is a moisture defect; the first threshold is greater than the second threshold, and the second threshold is greater than the third threshold.

[0039] Specifically, if the relative value of the voltage amplitude difference is greater than 200% and the phase is reversed, and the relative value of the phase change is greater than 500%, it is determined to be a conductive impurity defect; if the relative value of the voltage amplitude difference is less than 200% but greater than 100%, the phase is lagging, and the relative value of the phase change is less than 200% but greater than 100%, it is determined to be a main insulation scratch defect; if the relative value of the voltage amplitude difference is negative and the absolute value is greater than 100%, the phase is leading, and the relative value of the phase change is greater than 200%, it is determined to be a moisture defect.

However, the phase of the defect containing conductive impurities is reversed. The relative value of the phase shift of the defect containing conductive impurities... The relative value of the reflected voltage difference is approximately -900%, with main insulation scratch defects at 191% and moisture defects at approximately -251%. The absolute values ​​of all of them are greater than 100%.

[0044] if When it exceeds 200%, and the phase is reversed, If the absolute value is greater than 500%, it is determined to be a conductive impurity defect; if When the percentage is less than 200% or greater than 100%, there is phase lag. If the absolute value is less than 200% and greater than 100%, it is determined to be a primary insulation scratch defect; if When the value is negative and its absolute value is greater than 100%, the phase is leading. If the percentage is greater than 200%, it is determined to be a moisture defect.
