Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of insulator testing technology, and in particular to a laser-ultrasound-based method for detecting internal defects in post porcelain insulators, which is suitable for on-site, precise quantitative detection of internal defects such as cracks and bubbles in post porcelain insulators of substations. Background Technology
[0002] Post porcelain insulators are key components in power systems, widely used in substation facilities, and perform the dual functions of support and insulation. Their performance stability directly affects the safety of power transmission. During long-term operation, under the combined effects of electrical stress, mechanical stress, thermal stress, and complex environmental factors, post porcelain insulators are prone to internal defects such as cracks. The continued development of these defects may lead to a decline in insulation performance, a reduction in mechanical strength, and even power accidents.
[0003] Traditional contact ultrasonic testing methods require direct contact between the equipment and the surface of the post insulator, which is cumbersome and prone to damaging the insulator. Especially in high-altitude or special installation scenarios, complex testing platforms are needed, resulting in high costs and low efficiency. While laser ultrasonic testing technology offers advantages such as non-contact and high resolution, in practical applications, external electromagnetic interference and mechanical vibration can severely affect the quality of the detection signal. In unshielded outdoor environments, the signal-to-noise ratio is typically below 20dB, leading to a missed detection rate of over 40% for microcracks ≤1mm. Furthermore, existing devices are mostly fixed, making them unsuitable for mobile testing in complex outdoor environments. More importantly, existing defect identification methods often rely on single time-domain or frequency-domain features, resulting in insufficient accuracy in identifying minute defects. The false positive rate for cracks and bubbles is as high as 25%, and they cannot output defect size parameters, failing to meet the power industry's requirements for quantitative defect assessment. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a laser-ultrasound-based method for detecting internal defects in post porcelain insulators, aiming to solve the problems in the background technology.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for detecting internal defects in post porcelain insulators based on laser ultrasound, comprising the following steps:
[0006] Step S1: Deploy an anti-interference laser ultrasonic testing device around the perimeter of the post porcelain insulator to create an anti-interference environment for testing the post porcelain insulator;
[0007] Step S2: In an anti-interference environment, configure the parameters of the anti-interference laser ultrasonic testing device, and obtain the original signal of the support porcelain insulator based on the configured parameters of the testing device;
[0008] Step S3: Preprocess the original signal, including Butterworth coarse denoising, wavelet threshold denoising, adaptive weight fusion, and detrending processing;
[0009] Step S4: Perform multi-domain feature extraction on the preprocessed original signal to form a 6-dimensional feature vector;
[0010] Step S5: Input the 6-dimensional feature vector into the BP neural network for defect detection and output the predicted probability of internal defects in the insulator.
[0011] Furthermore, the anti-interference laser ultrasonic testing device includes an openable shielded cabin, an electric guide rail, a high-energy pulsed laser, a filter, a laser interferometer, a retractable robotic arm, a mobile platform, and a computer. The bottom of the openable shielded cabin is fixedly connected to the end effector of the retractable robotic arm via a flange. The base of the retractable robotic arm is bolted to the table surface of the mobile platform. The electric guide rail is fixed to the top of the inner wall of the openable shielded cabin via a bracket. The high-energy pulsed laser is slidably connected to the electric guide rail via a slider to ensure rotational freedom.
[0012] Furthermore, the specific process of step S1 is as follows: Start the mobile platform equipped with the AGV autonomous navigation system, and use the lidar to enable the mobile platform to autonomously navigate to the front of the post porcelain insulator to be tested; control the extension of the telescopic robotic arm to adjust the position of the openable shielded cabin so that the center of the openable shielded cabin door is aligned with the central axis of the post porcelain insulator; open the openable shielded cabin door, and the telescopic robotic arm drives the cabin to move forward so that the post porcelain insulator is in the central area of the cabin and maintains a preset distance from the cabin wall; close the cabin door to form an anti-interference environment for testing the post porcelain insulator.
[0013] Furthermore, in step S2, the parameters of the anti-interference laser ultrasonic testing device are configured as follows: output wavelength, pulse width, single pulse energy, laser spot diameter, and repetition frequency; the electric guide rail fixed on the top support of the inner wall of the openable shielded cabin is controlled to generate a circular scanning path, the scanning step size and axial scanning range are set, and the total number of scanning points is determined; after the detection is started, the high-energy pulsed laser emits laser to excite the Lamb wave in the ceramic insulator of the support column, and the acoustic wave signal is collected simultaneously, converting the Lamb wave into an electrical signal time series, i.e., the original signal.

[0024] Furthermore, the BP neural network adopts a three-layer architecture of "6 input layers - 12 hidden layers - 3 output layers". The hidden layers use the ReLU activation function, and the output layer uses the Softmax function. During network training, the cross-entropy loss function is used to calculate the loss value, and an adaptive learning rate optimizer is introduced.
[0025] Furthermore, after the BP neural network outputs the predicted probabilities of three types of defects—no defects, cracks, and bubbles—it determines the outcome according to the following logic:
[0026] If the maximum predicted probability value is greater than or equal to the third preset threshold, it is directly determined to be the corresponding defect type; if the maximum predicted probability value is within the preset range, it is combined with the 6-dimensional feature vector. A second verification is performed; if the maximum predicted probability value is less than the fourth preset threshold, the electric guide rail is controlled to perform a dense scan of the corresponding area. After collecting the signal 5 times, steps S3-S4 are repeated to re-extract the features, which are then input into the BP neural network for classification. Finally, the defect type and size parameters are output.

It calculates the correlation between features and defect categories through mutual information and assigns differentiated attention weights to avoid feature redundancy. It is paired with a BP neural network with a specific architecture and uses the corresponding activation function to solve the gradient vanishing problem and realize the defect probability output. An optimizer is introduced during the training process to avoid model overfitting, effectively reducing the risk of defect misjudgment and accurately distinguishing between microcracks and bubbles.
