Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nondestructive testing technology, specifically a device for automatic scanning of large plates, and more particularly a negative pressure triaxial automatic moving nondestructive testing device and method based on the principle of negative pressure adsorption and alternating stepping. Background Technology
[0002] Composite material panels and large metal plates (such as steel plates and titanium alloy plates) may develop internal defects during manufacturing and in-service use. To ensure safety and reliability, comprehensive non-destructive testing is required. Currently, automated ultrasonic testing for such large plates mainly faces the following technical approaches and their inherent limitations:
[0003] The first category is large gantry or gate-type automated testing equipment. This type of equipment usually has high precision and good stability, but it is bulky, expensive to manufacture, requires a dedicated installation foundation and working space, and is difficult to move. It is mainly suitable for testing on production lines with fixed workstations and cannot be used in the field or in situations with limited space.
[0004] The second type is the magnetic crawling inspection cart. This type of device uses magnetic wheels to adhere to the surface of ferromagnetic workpieces for movement, making it relatively portable. However, it has significant drawbacks: First, its movement relies on continuous friction between the wheels and the workpiece surface, which can easily lead to a loss of positioning accuracy when turning or slipping, affecting the accuracy of the scanning data; second, prolonged friction can easily scratch or wear down the protective coating on the workpiece surface; and third, its adsorption method limits its application to ferromagnetic materials, making it unsuitable for non-magnetic materials such as composite materials, austenitic stainless steel, and titanium alloys.
[0005] The third category consists of scanners that require auxiliary tracks or reference standards. Some devices guide their movement by attaching flexible rack tracks, magnetic guides, or laser reference plates to the workpiece being inspected. While this method can improve the accuracy of linear or circular motion, it requires tedious track installation, calibration, and fixing before each inspection, significantly reducing inspection efficiency and increasing labor costs. Installing tracks on curved or vertical surfaces is particularly difficult. Furthermore, the installation accuracy and stability of the track itself directly limit the final scanning accuracy.
[0006] In particular, existing technologies face even greater challenges for vertically placed large plates and in-service equipment using non-magnetic materials. Large automated equipment cannot be used, magnetic attraction solutions fail, and solutions relying on auxiliary tracks suffer from inconvenient installation, poor stability, and easy damage to the workpiece surface. Currently, for such scenarios, a large amount of manual handheld probe scanning is still required, which has disadvantages such as low efficiency, high labor intensity, susceptibility of inspection quality to personnel experience, and poor data repeatability.
[0007] Therefore, the industry urgently needs an automated inspection device that combines portability, high precision, strong adaptability, and surface friendliness. An ideal device should be able to stably adhere to workpieces of various materials (including non-magnetic materials) in horizontal, vertical, and even upward orientations without relying on external tracks or damaging the workpiece surface. It should also achieve efficient and accurate two-dimensional full-coverage scanning to significantly improve inspection efficiency and reliability while reducing reliance on manual labor. Summary of the Invention

[0035] Batteries are used for power supply.
[0036] This invention also proposes a negative pressure triaxial automatic moving non-destructive testing method, comprising the following steps:
[0037] Step 1: Initial Positioning

[0039] Step 2: X-axis stepping scan:
[0040] 21) The control system controls the two adsorption components belonging to the Y-axis to adsorb onto the detection plane and remain stationary, and controls the two adsorption components belonging to the X-axis to release adsorption;
[0041] 22) Control the probe assembly to move from one end of the scanning arm to the other end to perform a linear scan of the detection plane;
[0042] 23) The control system controls the X-axis drive component to start, driving the X-axis to move a set first distance along the stepping direction;
[0043] 24) Repeat steps 22) to 23), if the end of the X-axis opposite to the stepping direction has moved to the end of its stroke relative to the mounting base, and:
[0044] If the probe assembly does not reach the edge of the detection plane located at the other end of the stepping direction, proceed to step three;
[0045] If the probe assembly reaches the edge of the detection plane located at the other end of the stepping direction, then it is determined whether the probe assembly has reached the second edge of the detection plane in the Y direction: if yes, then the full plane scan of the detection plane is completed and the scan ends; if no, then proceed to step four.
[0046] Step 3: X-axis transposition:
[0047] The control system controls the two adsorption components belonging to the Y-axis to release adsorption, and controls the two adsorption components belonging to the X-axis to adsorb onto the detection plane and remain stationary; the control system controls the X-axis drive component to start, and the Y-axis and the power component move as a whole along the X-direction a set second distance; the X-axis stepping direction is set to be the same as before the transposition, and step two is executed;

[0051] Set the X-axis stepping direction to be opposite to the direction before performing the Y-axis movement and then execute step two.
[0052] Furthermore, in step 22), the control system controls the two adsorption components belonging to the Y-axis and the two adsorption components belonging to the X-axis to adsorb onto the detection plane and remain stationary, and then performs a linear scan on the detection plane.
[0053] This invention also proposes a negative pressure triaxial automatic moving non-destructive testing method, comprising the following steps:
[0054] Step 1: Initial Positioning
[0055] 11) The host computer is used to divide the detection plane into several square scanning areas, and the coordinates of each square scanning area are sent to the control system;
[0056] 12) Place the negative pressure triaxial automatic moving non-destructive testing device in one of the square scanning areas of the testing plane, and position the probe assembly at one end edge of the square scanning area in the X direction and the first end edge in the Y direction; position the probe assembly at one end of the scanning arm; set the stepping direction of the X axis;
[0057] Step 2: X-axis stepping scan:
[0058] 21) The control system controls the two adsorption components belonging to the Y-axis to adsorb onto the detection plane and remain stationary, and controls the two adsorption components belonging to the X-axis to release adsorption;
[0059] 22) Control the probe assembly to move from one end of the scanning arm to the other end to perform a linear scan of the detection plane;
[0060] 23) The control system controls the X-axis drive component to start, driving the X-axis to move a set first distance along the stepping direction;
[0061] 24) Repeat steps 22) to 23), if the end of the X-axis opposite to the stepping direction has moved to the end of its stroke relative to the mounting base, and:
[0062] If the probe assembly does not reach the edge of the square scanning area at the other end of the stepping direction, proceed to step three;
[0063] If the probe assembly reaches the other end edge of the square scanning area in the stepping direction, then determine whether the probe assembly has reached the second end edge of the square scanning area in the Y direction: if yes, then complete the scanning of the square scanning area, upload the scanning data and the current area scanning end status to the host computer, and execute step five; if no, then execute step four.
[0064] Step 3: X-axis transposition:
[0065] The control system controls the two adsorption components belonging to the Y-axis to release adsorption, and controls the two adsorption components belonging to the X-axis to adsorb onto the detection plane and remain stationary; the control system controls the X-axis drive component to start, and the Y-axis and the power component move as a whole along the X-direction a set second distance; the X-axis stepping direction is set to be the same as before the transposition, and step two is executed;
[0066] Step 4: Y-axis transposition:
[0067] The control system controls the two adsorption components belonging to the Y-axis to release adsorption, and controls the two adsorption components belonging to the X-axis to adsorb onto the detection plane and remain stationary; the control system also controls the Y-axis drive component to start, moving the Y-axis a predetermined third distance along the Y-direction; and / or,

[0071] Furthermore, in step 22), the control system controls the two adsorption components belonging to the Y-axis and the two adsorption components belonging to the X-axis to adsorb onto the detection plane and remain stationary, and then performs a linear scan on the detection plane.
[0072] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0073] The negative pressure triaxial automatic moving non-destructive testing device of the present invention achieves significant technical effects by constructing a unique motion system consisting of independently adsorbable X-axis, Y-axis and power components, and equipped with specific control logic:
[0074] (1) Realize true trackless adaptive two-dimensional motion: This invention eliminates all external physical tracks or reference benchmarks. By controlling the alternating adsorption and release of the X-axis and Y-axis adsorption components and driving the corresponding axes to move, it can autonomously step on the detection plane, realizing adaptive two-dimensional full-coverage scanning without the need for any pre-installed auxiliary guiding mechanism, which greatly improves the convenience and efficiency of on-site applications.
[0075] (2) Fundamentally protect the workpiece surface and improve positioning accuracy: During the movement, one of the X-axis and Y-axis is a moving axis and the other is a fixed axis; taking the X-axis as the moving axis and the Y-axis as the fixed axis as an example, the adsorption component of the X-axis first releases the adsorption and detaches from the surface, and then moves under the constraint of the corresponding X-axis guide rail, and re-adsorbs after reaching the position; this non-sliding stepping mode of "pick up-move-put down" completely avoids the scratches or wear caused to the workpiece surface coating by continuous friction of traditional wheel or slider scanners; at the same time, the adsorption plane of the adsorption component of the fixed axis (such as the Y-axis) provides a stable moving reference, effectively preventing the accumulation of positioning errors caused by slippage, and ensuring the high accuracy of the scanning path;
[0076] (3) Breaking through material limitations and having a wide range of applications: The use of negative pressure adsorption instead of magnetic adsorption enables the device of this invention to act stably on non-ferromagnetic materials such as stainless steel, titanium alloy, and composite materials, solving the key bottleneck that magnetic adsorption equipment cannot be applied to such materials; combined with its trackless characteristics, it is particularly suitable for the detection of vertical surfaces, high-altitude work surfaces and in-service equipment.
[0077] (4) Self-consistent structure and optimized control logic: The scanning component is integrated on the XY moving component, so that the Z-axis moving component of the adsorption component works in coordination with the planar movement (X and Y axes) of the device; the control system achieves fully automatic, zigzag or similar path efficient scanning by coordinating adsorption, driving and scanning actions, which greatly reduces the intensity of manual operation and technical requirements.
[0078] In summary, this invention integrates the advantages of "no external track", "non-contact stepping", "universal material compatibility" and "automatic control", effectively solving the technical pain points of existing large-scale plate automated inspection equipment such as bulky equipment, workpiece damage, material limitations, and reliance on tooling, and has achieved positive and significant technical results.

However, the embodiments described are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0108] I. Negative pressure triaxial automatic moving non-destructive testing device.
[0109] like Figure 1 As shown, the negative pressure triaxial automatic moving non-destructive testing device of this embodiment includes a control system 1, an XY moving component 2, and a scanning component 3.
[0110] (1) Regarding the XY moving component 2.
[0111] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the XY movement component 2 is the core of the device to realize planar motion, and it includes an X-axis 38, a Y-axis 39 and a power component 5.
[0112] Specifically, the power assembly 5 includes a mounting base 19, on which an X-axis drive assembly and a Y-axis drive assembly are mounted. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the X-axis drive assembly specifically includes an X-axis drive motor 20, an X-axis pulley 24 driven by the output shaft of the X-axis drive motor 20, an X-axis belt 18 adapted to the X-axis pulley 24, and an X-axis belt tensioner 25 for tensioning the X-axis belt 18. Similarly, the Y-axis drive assembly includes a Y-axis drive motor 21, a Y-axis pulley 23 driven by the output shaft of the Y-axis drive motor 21, a Y-axis belt 16 adapted to the Y-axis pulley 23, and a Y-axis belt tensioner 22 for tensioning the Y-axis belt 16.
[0113] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the X-axis 38 consists of an X-axis guide rail 17 and two adsorption components 4 fixed at both ends. The mounting base 19 is slidably engaged with the X-axis guide rail 17 via a slider. The two ends of the X-axis belt 18 are respectively fixed to the power docking seats 6 of the two adsorption components 4 located at both ends of the X-axis guide rail 17, so that the X-axis drive motor 20 can drive the mounting base 19 to move along the X-axis guide rail 17 via belt transmission. Specifically, the power docking seat 6 is provided with belt clamps 7, and the two ends of the X-axis belt 18 are respectively fixedly connected to the power docking seat 6 via corresponding belt clamps 7.
[0114] Similarly, such as Figure 5As shown, the Y-axis 39 consists of a Y-axis guide rail 15 and two adsorption components 4 fixed at both ends. The mounting base 19 is slidably engaged with the Y-axis guide rail 15 via a slider. The two ends of the Y-axis belt 16 are respectively fixed to the power docking seats 6 of the two adsorption components 4 located at both ends of the Y-axis guide rail 15, so that the Y-axis drive motor 21 can drive the mounting base 19 to move along the Y-axis guide rail 15 via belt transmission. Specifically, the power docking seat 6 is provided with belt clamps 7, and the two ends of the Y-axis belt 16 are respectively fixedly connected to the power docking seat 6 via corresponding belt clamps 7.
[0115] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, each adsorption component 4 includes a power docking seat 6, a suction cup mounting seat 10, and a Z-axis moving component located between the two. The power docking seat 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the corresponding guide rail (17 or 15). The Z-axis moving component includes a linear guide rail 11 and a push cylinder 12. The power docking seat 6 and the suction cup mounting seat 10 are slidably connected through the linear guide rail 11. The cylinder body of the push cylinder 12 is fixed on the power docking seat 6, and the end of its piston rod is connected to the suction cup mounting seat 10. Multiple vacuum suction cups 9 are installed at the bottom of the suction cup mounting seat 10. In this embodiment, five vacuum suction cups 9 are installed at the bottom of each suction cup mounting seat 10. By controlling the extension and retraction of the push cylinder 12, the suction cup mounting seat 10 and the vacuum suction cups 9 on it can be driven to approach or move away from the detection plane, thereby achieving adsorption contact or detachment release. To ensure the stable operation of the push cylinder 12, a limiting seat 14 is also provided on the power docking seat 6 to limit the swing of the push cylinder 12. In addition, the power docking seat 6 is provided with a limit switch sensing seat 8 for installing a limit switch. The limit switch is used to detect the position distance of the corresponding adsorption component 4 relative to the mounting seat 19, so as to determine the movement limit position of the corresponding X-axis 38 or Y-axis relative to the mounting seat 19.
[0116] (2) Regarding scanning component 3.
[0117] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the scanning component 3 is mounted on the X-axis 38 or Y-axis 39 via the docking seat 26. In this embodiment, the scanning component 3 is mounted on the X-axis 38. Specifically, the scanning component 3 includes a scanning arm 27 and a probe assembly that can move linearly along the scanning arm 27. In this embodiment, the scanning arm 27 is parallel to the Y-axis 39. The probe assembly includes a probe clamping bracket 29, a probe 30 mounted on the bracket, and an encoder assembly 28 for recording the movement position. The probe 30 can be various types of ultrasonic probes to meet the detection requirements of different materials.
[0118] In this embodiment, the encoder assembly 28 includes an encoder and a direction switching mechanism, which is used to switch the encoder direction. Specifically, when the encoder direction is switched to the X direction, it is used to detect the stepping distance of the X-axis 38 and the movement distance of the Y-axis 39 and the power assembly 5 as a whole along the X direction; when the encoder direction is switched to the Y direction, it is used to detect the scanning position of the probe 30 along the scanning arm 27 and the movement distance of the Y-axis 39 or the movement distance of the X-axis 38 and the power assembly 5 as a whole along the Y direction.
[0119] (3) Regarding the control system 1.
[0120] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the control system 1 includes a main housing 36, which integrates a control box 32, a battery 33, a vacuum pump 34, solenoid valves 35, and a communication module.

[0121] II. Negative Pressure Triaxial Automatic Moving Non-destructive Testing Method
[0122] The following detailed description, using the aforementioned negative pressure triaxial automatic moving non-destructive testing device as an example, illustrates the specific implementation of the negative pressure triaxial automatic moving non-destructive testing method of the present invention. Specifically, as shown... Figure 9-16 As shown, this is the process of performing full-coverage inspection on the inspection plane 37 of a large sheet metal workpiece. This process is completely executed automatically by the control system 1.
[0123] (1) The detection plane is scanned in one go.
[0124] The negative pressure triaxial automatic moving non-destructive testing method in this embodiment includes the following steps.
[0125] Step 1: Initial Positioning: Place the negative pressure triaxial automatic moving non-destructive testing device on the surface of the testing plane 37. For example... Figure 9As shown, the probe assembly is located at one end edge of the detection plane 37 in the X direction and the first end edge (left end) in the Y direction, and the probe 30 is located at the left end of the scanning arm 27. The initial stepping direction of the X-axis is set.
[0126] Step 2: X-axis stepping scan.
[0127] 21) Control the two adsorption components 4 of the Y-axis 39 to adsorb onto the detection plane 37 and keep them stationary by the control system 1, and control the two adsorption components 4 of the X-axis 38 to release adsorption.
[0128] 22) Switch the encoder direction to the Y direction, and control the probe assembly to move from one end of the scanning arm 27 to the other end to perform a linear scan of the detection plane. During this process, the Y-axis 39 remains fixed in place, providing a stable reference for the scan. Specifically, since the probe 30 is initially positioned at the left end of the scanning arm 27, during the first linear scan, the control system 1 controls the probe 30 to move along the scanning arm 27 from left to right to complete one line of detection, such as... Figure 9-10 As shown.
[0129] 23) X-axis stepping: After performing one linear scan, the encoder direction is switched to the X-axis, and the control system 1 controls the X-axis drive motor 20 to start. Since the Y-axis 39 is fixed in place, the adsorption component 4 of the X-axis 38 is in a released state, so the power component 5 remains stationary, and the X-axis 38 moves a set distance relative to the detection plane 37. After the X-axis completes the stepping movement, another linear scan is performed. At this time, the probe 30 is located on the right side of the scanning arm 27. Therefore, the control system 1 controls the probe 30 to move along the scanning arm 27 from right to left, completing one line of detection, such as... Figure 11-12 As shown.
[0130] 24) Repeat steps 22) to 23). If the end of the X-axis 38 facing away from the stepping direction (rear end) moves to the end of its stroke relative to the mounting base 19, and:
[0131] If the probe assembly does not reach the edge of the detection plane 37 located at the other end of the stepping direction, proceed to step three;
[0132] If the probe assembly reaches the edge of the detection plane 37 at the other end of the stepping direction, then it is determined whether the probe assembly has reached the second (right) edge of the detection plane 37 in the Y direction: if so, the full-plane scan of the detection plane is completed, the scan data is uploaded to the host computer, and the scan ends. Figure 17 If not, proceed to step four.
[0133] Step 3: X-axis translation: When the X-axis 38 reaches the end of its travel but has not yet scanned to the edge of the detection plane 37 on the other side of the stepping direction, X-axis translation is required. Figure 13 As shown. Control system 1 switches the adsorption state: the two adsorption components 4 on X-axis 38 are fixed in place, while the two adsorption components 4 on Y-axis 39 are released. Then, the X-axis drive motor 20 is started. At this time, X-axis 38 serves as a fixed reference, and Y-axis 39 and the power assembly 5 move the entire assembly along the X-direction (stepping direction) by a large, predetermined second distance. The X-axis stepping direction remains unchanged, as shown. Figure 14 As shown. Then, step two is executed repeatedly, continuing to scan the uncovered areas along the stepping direction.
[0134] Step 4: Y-axis movement and repositioning: When the probe 30 scans to the edge of the detection plane 37 at the other end of the stepping direction, but has not yet reached the second end (right end) edge of the detection plane 37 in the Y direction, Y-axis movement and repositioning are required.
[0135] The first method involves controlling the two adsorption components 4 on the X-axis 38 to adhere and fix the components, while releasing the two adsorption components on the Y-axis 39. The Y-axis drive motor 21 is then activated, causing the entire Y-axis 39 to move a set third distance along the Y direction (from left to right). Figure 12 As shown.
[0136] The second method involves controlling the two adsorption components 4 on the X-axis 38 to adhere and fix the components, while releasing the two adsorption components on the Y-axis 39. The X-axis drive motor 20 is then activated, causing the Y-axis 39 and the power component 5 to move as a whole along the Y direction by a predetermined fourth distance.
[0137] like Figure 15-16 The diagram illustrates the structure after the X-axis and power component have undergone Y-axis movement and repositioning using the second method, followed by Y-axis movement and repositioning using the first method. In this embodiment, the first and second methods can be executed independently or in combination.
[0138] After the line break is completed, control system 1 reverses the X-axis stepping direction and then repeats step two. Specifically, in this embodiment, the scanning trajectory for scanning the detection plane is as follows: Figure 18 As shown.
[0139] In a preferred embodiment of this example, in step 22), the control system 1 controls the two adsorption components 4 belonging to the Y-axis 39 and the two adsorption components 4 belonging to the X-axis 38 to adsorb onto the detection plane and remain stationary before performing a linear scan on the detection plane. This further improves the stability during the scanning process.
[0140] (2) Scan the plane in sections.
[0141] The negative pressure triaxial automatic moving non-destructive testing method of this embodiment includes the following steps.
[0142] Step 1: Initial positioning.
[0143] 11) The host computer is used to divide the detection plane 37 into several square scanning areas, and the coordinates of each square scanning area are sent to the control system 1.
[0144] 12) Place the negative pressure triaxial automatic moving non-destructive testing device in one of the square scanning areas of the testing plane, and position the probe assembly at one end edge of the square scanning area in the X direction and the first end edge (left end) in the Y direction; position the probe assembly at one end of the scanning arm 27; set the stepping direction of the X axis (forward).
[0145] Step 2: X-axis stepping scan.
[0146] 21) Control the two adsorption components 4 of the Y-axis 39 to adsorb onto the detection plane 37 and keep them stationary by the control system 1, and control the two adsorption components 4 of the X-axis 38 to release adsorption.
[0147] 22) Switch the encoder direction to the Y direction, and control the probe assembly to move from one end of the scanning arm 27 to the other end to perform a linear scan on the detection plane. During this process, the Y-axis 39 remains fixed in place, providing a stable reference for the scan. Specifically, since the probe 30 is located at the left end of the scanning arm 27 during initial positioning, the control system 1 controls the probe 30 to move from left to right along the scanning arm 27 during the first linear scan to complete one line of detection.
[0148] 23) X-axis stepping: After performing one linear scan, the encoder direction is switched to the X-axis, and the control system 1 controls the X-axis drive motor 20 to start. Since the Y-axis 39 is fixed by adsorption, the adsorption component 4 of the X-axis 38 is in a released state, so the power component 5 remains stationary, and the X-axis 38 moves a set distance relative to the detection plane 37 along the X-axis in a stepping motion. After the X-axis completes the stepping motion, another linear scan is performed. At this time, the probe 30 is located on the right side of the scanning arm 27. Therefore, the control system 1 controls the probe 30 to move along the scanning arm 27 from right to left to complete one line of detection.
[0149] 24) Repeat steps 22) to 23). If the end of the X-axis 38 facing away from the stepping direction (rear end) moves to the end of its stroke relative to the mounting base 19, and:
[0150] If the probe assembly does not reach the edge of the square scanning area at the other end of the stepping direction, proceed to step three;
[0151] If the probe assembly reaches the edge of the square scanning area at the other end of the stepping movement direction, then determine whether the probe assembly has reached the second (right) edge of the square scanning area in the Y direction: if yes, then complete the scanning of the square scanning area, upload the scanning data and the current area's end scanning status to the host computer, and execute step five; if no, then execute step four.
[0152] Step 3: X-axis repositioning: When X-axis 38 reaches the end of its stroke but has not scanned the square scanning area at the other edge of the stepping direction, X-axis repositioning is required. Control system 1 switches the adsorption state: the two adsorption components 4 of X-axis 38 are fixed in place, and the two adsorption components 4 of Y-axis 39 are released. Then, the X-axis drive motor 20 is started. At this time, X-axis 38 serves as a fixed reference, and Y-axis 39 and the power component 5 will move as a whole along the X-direction (stepping direction) by a large, pre-set second distance, while the X-axis stepping direction remains unchanged. Then, step 2 is repeated to continue scanning the uncovered area along the stepping direction.
[0153] Step 4: Y-axis movement and transposition: When the probe 30 scans to the edge of the square scanning area at the other end of the stepping direction, but has not yet reached the second end (right end) edge of the square scanning area in the Y direction, Y-axis movement and transposition are required.
[0154] The first method involves controlling the two adsorption components 4 on the X-axis 38 to adsorb and fix the components, while releasing the two adsorption components on the Y-axis 39. The Y-axis drive motor 21 is then activated, causing the entire Y-axis 39 to move a set third distance along the Y direction (from left to right).
[0155] The second method involves controlling the two adsorption components 4 on the X-axis 38 to adhere and fix the components, while releasing the two adsorption components on the Y-axis 39. The X-axis drive motor 20 is then activated, causing the Y-axis 39 and the power component 5 to move as a whole along the Y direction by a predetermined fourth distance.
[0156] In this embodiment, the first method and the second method can be executed independently or in combination.
[0157] After the line break is completed, control system 1 reverses the stepping direction of the X-axis and then repeats step two.
[0158] Step 5: Determine if all square scanning areas have been scanned: If yes, complete the full-plane scanning of the detection plane, the scanning ends, and the host computer combines the scanning images of all square scanning areas into a full-plane scanning image of the detection plane; if no, control the negative pressure triaxial automatic moving non-destructive testing device to move to one of the unscanned square scanning areas, upload the coordinates of the square scanning area and the current scanning start status of the area; and ensure that: the probe assembly is located at one end edge of the square scanning area in the X direction and the first end edge in the Y direction; the probe assembly is located at one end of the scanning arm 27; set the stepping direction of the X-axis, and execute Step 2.
[0159] In a preferred embodiment of this example, in step 22), the control system 1 controls the two adsorption components 4 belonging to the Y-axis 39 and the two adsorption components 4 belonging to the X-axis 38 to adsorb onto the detection plane and remain stationary before performing a linear scan on the detection plane. This further improves the stability during the scanning process.
[0160] Specifically, because the probe assembly generates a large amount of cache during the scanning process, if the scanning area of the detection plane 37 is too large, it will lead to insufficient cache space, causing the device to lag or even resulting in abnormal imaging. By dividing the detection plane 37 into several square scanning areas, and uploading the scanning data and clearing the cache after each square scanning area is completed, memory overflow can be effectively avoided. In this way, the host computer can obtain a complete large-area scanning image by stitching the scanning images of each square scanning area according to coordinates.

Equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
