Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cranes, in particular to a measuring device and method for detecting nonlinear coefficient and attenuation coefficient of surface wave of a girder. BACKGROUND

[0002] A crane is an important cargo handling tool, which repeatedly completes the lifting and unloading process of heavy objects in work, so that the metal structure of the crane bears alternating load. It is estimated that more than 70% of the failure cases of metal structures under alternating load are caused by fatigue damage. Fatigue failure is sudden, and once the crane occurs fatigue failure during lifting heavy objects, it will lead to heavy objects falling off, even the whole crane overturning, which may cause significant economic losses and casualties. The girder is an important stressed component of the crane, therefore, reasonable evaluation and fatigue life prediction of the fatigue damage state of the crane girder can effectively reduce the risk of crane fatigue failure, reduce the occurrence of crane safety accidents, and improve the safety of the crane.

[0003] In the existing detection method of crane fatigue damage, the ultrasonic method is the preferred method for evaluating the fatigue damage of the crane due to its strong penetration, good directivity and easy implementation of online measurement. Influenced by factors such as surface roughness and stress concentration, the initiation of fatigue cracks of the girder is generally from the surface or near the surface. The ultrasonic surface wave is a kind of ultrasonic wave mainly propagating on the surface of solid medium, which is suitable for detecting the fatigue damage state of the girder. The nonlinear coefficient of the surface wave is sensitive to the early fatigue of the material, which is an important parameter for characterizing the early fatigue damage of the crane girder. The attenuation coefficient of the surface wave is sensitive to the middle and late fatigue of the material, which is an important parameter for characterizing the middle and late fatigue damage of the crane girder. The commonly used materials of the crane girder are Q235B and Q355B, and in the process of measuring the fatigue damage state evaluation parameters, the electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer is convenient for fixing the sensor, but the electromagnetic ultrasonic transducer has low efficiency, which is 20-40dB lower than the piezoelectric transducer. The excitation process and receiving process of the traditional piezoelectric transducer both need to use coupling agent, and the amplitude of the surface wave measured is unstable due to the influence of the coupling state, which directly affects the measurement result of the attenuation coefficient, and at the same time, it is not convenient for fixing the sensor. At present, most of the piezoelectric transducers in China are based on the imported RAM-5000 SNAP nonlinear high-energy ultrasonic test system, which has large volume and high price, and it is difficult to realize the online measurement of the fatigue damage state evaluation parameters of the crane girder.

[0064] Further, in a preferred embodiment, the long screw rod 110 is connected with the magnet 101 through the hole support rod 103, so that the surface wave excitation device 1 can be adsorbed on the crane girder steel plate as a whole. The guide plate 102 has two installation holes for passing through the hole support rod 103, and the guide plate 102 is closely attached to the piezoelectric surface wave transducer 104, so as to ensure that the propagation direction of the surface wave is fixed during the measurement. The screw rod 108 can drive the cylindrical pressing block 105 to move up and down as a whole through the interaction with the threaded hole of the support plate 109, and press the piezoelectric surface wave transducer 104, so as to ensure that the position of the piezoelectric surface wave transducer 104 is fixed during the measurement.
