The quality of the stainless seamless pipe directly affects the safe operation of rail transit.

[0003] Currently, common flaw detection methods for stainless seamless pipe include ultrasonic flaw detection, eddy current flaw detection, magnetic powder flaw detection, etc. However, the existing flaw detection technology and system have many shortcomings.

[0028] Wherein, the positioning guide assembly is composed of a positioning device and a conveying device: Conveying device: composed of a conveying roller driven by a motor, the conveying speed can be accurately adjusted according to the detection requirements. The conveying roller surface adopts special rubber material, which can not only ensure the stable conveying of stainless steel seamless pipe, but also avoid damaging the surface of the steel pipe.
[0029] Positioning device: a plurality of high-precision photoelectric sensors and position encoders are arranged on the conveying roller, which are used to monitor the position and attitude of the stainless steel seamless pipe in real time. When the steel pipe is conveyed to the detection position, the positioning device can quickly and accurately fix the steel pipe, ensuring the stability of the steel pipe during detection.
[0030] 1. Parameter acquisition module Used for acquiring the stainless steel seamless steel pipe to be detected and acquiring initial parameters. The parameter acquisition module includes: 1.1 Parameter setting unit Used for acquiring the stainless steel seamless steel pipe to be detected and inputting the conveying positioning parameters and detection parameters on the man-machine interaction interface; wherein, the conveying positioning parameters include start-stop threshold, speed curve and positioning accuracy, the detection parameters include small hole imaging scanning strategy, eddy current and probe distance, and metal magnetic memory scanning path and threshold, and the emission frequency of ultrasonic flaw detection can also be selected.
[0031] 1.2 Equipment state confirmation unit Used for equipment self-checking, equipment initial state confirmation and steel pipe basic information recording, and outputting initial parameters.
[0032] For example, the detection module is reset, the power system voltage / air pressure meets the standard, and the safety interlock is closed. Record the basic information such as steel pipe specifications, production batch, etc. for subsequent traceability.
[0033] 2. Automatic conveying module Used for conveying, speed adjustment, stop control and abnormal detection of the seamless steel pipe to be detected based on the conveying device and the positioning device. The automatic conveying module includes: 2.1 Start control unit The workpiece presence signal is sent by a sensor at the entrance of the feeding area, and the stainless steel seamless pipe to be detected is fed to the detection area at a preset initial speed, such as 0.5 m / s, for more than 50 ms, and the positioning deviation is less than or equal to ±1 mm.
[0034] 2.2 Speed adjustment unit The speed deviation of the stainless steel seamless pipe to be detected is judged by a position encoder and a displacement sensor. If the speed deviation exceeds 5%, the motor frequency of the feeding device is adjusted, and whether the stainless steel seamless pipe to be detected deviates from the detection area by more than 0.5 mm is judged. If yes, the positioning motor of the positioning device is adjusted.
[0035] The feeding device is a motor-driven feeding roller, and the roller surface is made of special rubber material to ensure smooth feeding without damaging the surface. The feeding speed can be accurately adjusted, such as a feeding speed of 0.1-3 m / s, a coarse positioning speed of 50-200 mm / s, and a fine positioning speed of 5-50 mm / s. The positioning accuracy is ±0.1 mm.
[0036] The positioning device monitors the position and posture of the steel pipe in real time through a photoelectric sensor and a position encoder to quickly fix the steel pipe after positioning and ensure the stability of detection.

If yes, the emergency stop function is triggered and an audible and visual alarm is sounded.
[0038] Cyclic operation: automatic reset after single piece to wait for the next entrance trigger, without manual intervention throughout the process.
[0039] 3. Multi-modal detection module The steel pipe defect detection is performed by means of small hole imaging, eddy current flaw detection, and metal magnetic memory flaw detection, and multi-source detection raw data is obtained. The multi-modal detection module comprises: 3.1 Small hole imaging unit The light source emission and receiving angle is controlled based on a photoelectric sensor and a phased array electronic scanning, and an optical image is formed according to the straight-line propagation of light and the defect shielding. Whether there is a steel pipe defect is judged by the optical image.
[0040] When there is no defect, the imaging surface is a uniform spot or a normal image matching the cross section; when there is a defect, a dark area (shadow) corresponding to the defect shape / position appears.
[0041] 3.2 Eddy current flaw detection unit The present application is used for exciting eddy current on the surface and near surface of the stainless steel seamless pipe by using multi-frequency parallel alternating magnetic field, and judging whether there is pipe defect by the change of the eddy current.
[0042] The defect changes the eddy current distribution and phase, resulting in abnormal coil impedance / induced voltage. Multi-frequency parallel is used to consider different depth and type defects, and facilitate quantitative analysis.
[0043] 3.3 Metal magnetic memory detection unit The present application is used for detecting stress concentration or early micro-defect of the pipe based on the magnetic memory effect under the geomagnetic field, so as to locate the early damage of the pipe.
[0044] Based on the "magnetic memory effect" of irreversible orientation of metal magnetic domain under the geomagnetic field; without pre-magnetization, the magnetic sensitive sensor scans the normal component of the leakage magnetic field along the surface. The abnormal mutation such as zero point and gradient peak at the stress concentration or defect can quickly locate the early damage.
[0045] 3.4 Data processing unit The present application is used for acquiring and integrating the detection signals of the small hole imaging unit, the eddy current detection unit and the metal magnetic memory detection unit by using the data acquisition card, and linking the signal sampling frequency and the pipe conveying speed to obtain multi-source detection raw data; the multi-source detection raw data includes optical image data, eddy current impedance data and magnetic memory leakage magnetic field data.

[0047] Finding abnormality: comparing the current collected detection image and the standard defect-free image (such as the cross-sectional image of the intact pipe, the uniform light spot diagram), finding the different dark area (shadow), which is probably formed by the defect blocking the light.
[0048] Identifying type: judging the defect type according to the shape of the shadow, if the shadow is a long strip, it may be a crack, linear defect; if the shadow is blocky / pointy, it may be impurities, pores and other blocky defects.
[0049] Positioning + Severity Assessment: Look at the coordinates of the shadow in the image to determine the specific location of the defect on the steel pipe, such as 10 cm from the left end and 30° in the circumferential direction.

[0051] 4.3 Magnetic Memory Processing Unit For curve anomaly analysis based on the magnetic memory leakage field data, locate the zero point and gradient peak to obtain the stress concentration or early defect position, and evaluate the severity of the defect or stress according to the signal strength and gradient. That is, look at the signal strength of the curve mutation point (the higher the peak, the more concentrated the stress / the more obvious the defect) and the gradient change (the steeper the curve inflection, the more prominent the problem), and then evaluate the severity of the defect / stress according to the standard.
[0052] 4.4 Feature Output Unit For integrating the abnormal shadow, the defect type, the defect position, the defect degree, the defect attribute, and the severity to obtain a defect feature set.
[0053] 5.

[0071] In summary, the detection process of the present application is: Preparation before detection: First, according to the specifications of the rail transit stainless steel seamless pipe to be detected, set the corresponding detection parameters in the human-computer interaction interface of the intelligent control system, such as detection speed, ultrasonic wave emission frequency, eddy current detection frequency, etc. At the same time, check whether the connection of each module of the flaw detection system is normal, and whether the equipment is in the initial state.
[0072] Detection process: Place the stainless steel seamless pipe on the conveying roller of the automatic conveying and positioning module, and start the conveying device. The steel pipe is moved to the detection area under the drive of the conveying roller. When the steel pipe reaches the detection position, the positioning device quickly fixes the steel pipe according to the feedback signals of the photoelectric sensor and the position encoder. At this time, the multi-modal detection module starts to work, and the ultrasonic flaw detection unit, the eddy current flaw detection unit and the magnetic memory flaw detection unit simultaneously detect the steel pipe. During the detection process, the data acquisition and processing module collects the detection signals in real time and processes and analyzes them. The intelligent control system monitors and adjusts the entire detection process according to the preset program and parameters.
[0073] Detection result processing: After the detection is completed, the data acquisition and processing module transmits the analyzed defect information to the intelligent control system. The intelligent control system judges whether the steel pipe is qualified according to the type, position and size of the defect information. If the steel pipe is qualified, the conveying device will convey it to the qualified product area; if the steel pipe is unqualified, the intelligent control system will issue an alarm information through the human-computer interaction interface and display the detailed information of the defect. At the same time, the detection results and related data are stored in the database of the data storage and management module for subsequent query and analysis.
[0074] Data management and analysis: The operator can query and analyze the detection data at any time through the data analysis software of the data storage and management module. For example, generate a defect statistical report to understand the frequency and distribution of different types of defects; draw a quality trend chart to observe the change trend of product quality. Through in-depth analysis of the detection data, the production enterprise can timely find out the problems existing in the production process, take corresponding improvement measures, and improve the product quality.
