TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ultrasonic detection systems, and more particularly to an ultrasonic water immersion focusing detection system, a leveling object carrying system and a leveling method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The ultrasonic water immersion focusing detection technology plays an important role in the field of flat plate material detection. During detection, the flat plate material is usually completely immersed in water, and water is used as a coupling medium to allow ultrasonic waves to propagate more efficiently to the material. The ultrasonic wave beams emitted by the detection equipment are often focused on a specific area, thereby significantly improving the detection sensitivity and resolution, and providing a comprehensive and accurate assessment of the internal quality and structural integrity of the flat plate material, thereby ensuring the quality and safety of the flat plate material. After water immersion scanning detection, the echo amplitude at a certain depth is selected for imaging according to the gate, and the defects are distinguished by observing the differences in the image.
[0003] However, when the plate material is directly placed in the water tank for detection, if the acoustic impedance of the plate bottom and the tank bottom interface is similar to the acoustic impedance of the plate itself, it will have a certain negative impact on the bottom echo of the plate material ultrasonic detection area, resulting in inaccurate detection results. In addition, if the workpiece is not leveled, the selected depth during detection is uneven, which can easily lead to inaccurate defect positioning.

[0065] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the object table comprises a plurality of sets of slide rail assemblies 1, the output ends of the plurality of sets of slide rail assemblies 1 are provided with corresponding support seat assemblies 2 for driving the support seat assemblies 2 to move along the first direction and the second direction.
[0066] Reference Figure 1 It is explained that the object table is composed of a plurality of sets of slide rail assemblies 1, the number of the slide rail assemblies 1 is the same as the number of the object table, in other words, the support seat assemblies 2 are installed one by one corresponding to the slide rail assemblies 1, and the support seat assemblies 2 are connected to the top of the corresponding slide rail assemblies 1, so as to be driven by the slide rail assemblies 1 to move along the X or Y direction, so that the object table has assemblies corresponding to the object table.
[0067] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the slide rail assembly 1 comprises a first slide rail 11 and a second slide rail 12; in the same set of slide rail assemblies 1, the first slide rail 11 is connected to the second slide rail 12 for driving the second slide rail 12 to move along the first direction; the second slide rail 12 is connected to the corresponding support seat assembly 2 for driving the support seat assembly 2 to move along the second direction.
[0068] Reference Figure 1It is explained that, in order to move the support seat assembly 2 along the X direction and the Y direction, the base 21 of the second slide rail 12 is used as the slider of the first slide rail 11 or is connected to the slider of the first slide rail 11, and the first slide rail 11 is arranged along the X direction, so that the second slide rail 12 can be pushed to move along the X direction by the first slide rail 11. In cooperation, the base 21 of the support seat assembly 2 is used as the slider of the second slide rail 12 or is connected to the slider of the second slide rail 12, and the second slide rail 12 is arranged along the Y direction, so that the support seat assembly 2 can be pushed to move along the Y direction by the second slide rail 12.
[0069] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, a plurality of first position acquisition devices 3 and a plurality of second position acquisition devices 4 are further included, the first position acquisition devices 3 are used to acquire the coordinates of the corresponding support seat assembly 2 along the X direction, and the second position acquisition devices 4 are used to acquire the coordinates of the corresponding support seat assembly 2 along the Y direction. It needs to be explained that the first position acquisition devices 3 directly acquire the coordinates of the second slide rail 12 along the X direction, so as to determine the coordinates of the support seat assembly 2 along the X direction which is carried on the second slide rail 12.
[0070] When in use, the X direction coordinates of the support seat assembly 2 acquired by the first position acquisition devices 3 are combined with the Y direction coordinates of the support seat assembly 2 acquired by the second position acquisition devices 4, so as to determine the position coordinates (X, Y) of the support point of the workpiece. Based on the position coordinates of the support point of the workpiece, it is convenient to emit ultrasonic pulses at the fixed point for detection.
[0071] It needs to be explained that the types of the first position acquisition devices 3 and the second position acquisition devices 4 are not limited, as long as the position acquisition requirement can be met. For example, in some embodiments, the first position acquisition devices 3 and the second position acquisition devices 4 can all adopt the sub-controllers, and the signals thereof are connected to the sensors for detecting the positions of the corresponding support seat assemblies 2, so as to realize the acquisition of the X direction coordinates and the Y direction coordinates of the support seat assemblies 2.
[0072] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the first position acquisition devices 3 are arranged on the first slide rail 11, the second position acquisition devices 4 are arranged on the second slide rail 12, and the first position acquisition devices 3 and the second position acquisition devices 4 are all infrared distance meters.
[0073] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 It is explained that the first position acquisition devices 3 and the second position acquisition devices 4 are respectively arranged at one end of the first slide rail 11 and the second slide rail 12, and the first position acquisition devices 3 and the second position acquisition devices 4 all face the other end of the slide rails where they are arranged, so as to correspondingly detect in real time during the movement of the second slide rail 12 and the support seat assembly 2, and accurately determine the positions thereof.
[0074] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the end of the first slide rail 11 and the second slide rail 12 is provided with a safety limiting piece 5 for buffering the support seat assembly 2.
[0075] Reference Figure 3 And Figure 4 It is described that the safety limiting piece 5 is provided at least at one end of the first slide rail 11 and the second slide rail 12, so that when the support seat assembly 2 moves to the limit position of the stroke, the safety limiting piece 5 can achieve the anti-collision of the support seat assembly 2 through its own deformation. The safety limiting piece 5 can be a spring or a rubber block, etc. In particular, the end of the first slide rail 11 and the second slide rail 12 corresponding to the first position acquirer 3 and the second position acquirer 4 is provided with the safety limiting piece 5, and the safety limiting piece 5 protrudes from the corresponding first position acquirer 3 and the second position acquirer 4 when it is at the expansion limit position or the contraction limit position. That is, the safety limiting piece 5 provided on the first slide rail 11 protrudes from the first position acquirer 3 provided at the same end of the first slide rail 11. Similarly, the safety limiting piece 5 provided on the second slide rail 12 protrudes from the second position acquirer 4 provided at the same end of the second slide rail 12.
[0076] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, a controller is further included. The controller is signal connected to the first position acquirer 3 and the second position acquirer 4 for acquiring the position coordinates of the support points of the workpiece. The support point is the contact point between the workpiece and the output end of the support seat assembly 2. The controller is signal connected to the support seat assembly 2 for controlling the height of the output end of the support seat assembly 2.
[0077] In use, the position signal output by the first position acquirer 3 and the second position acquirer 4 is received by the controller, and then the position coordinates of the support points of the workpiece are determined, so that the control system of the ultrasonic water immersion focusing detection system is matched or directly used as the system of the ultrasonic water immersion focusing detection system, so that the accurate sending of the ultrasonic pulse at the support point of the workpiece is realized, and then the height of each support point of the workpiece is determined, and then the lifting displacement d (the height difference compared with the support point as the reference) received by the controller or determined by the controller is directly used to judge, and the calculation method for the judgment process is as follows: ; In the formula, K is a calculation coefficient, and , is the ultrasonic wave propagation speed in the workpiece, is the ultrasonic wave propagation speed in water; S is the wave sound path of the bottom surface of the workpiece; is the sound path at the support point as the reference of the workpiece; and then the output end of the telescopic piece 22 is controlled to be raised or lowered according to the determined lifting displacement d, so that the automatic leveling of the workpiece is realized.
[0078] It should be noted that the output end lifting scheme of the telescopic members 22 in each group of support seat assemblies 2 controlled by the controller according to the height determination result is not limited, as long as the workpiece leveling can be achieved. For example, in some embodiments, the one with the lowest output end position in each group of support seat assemblies 2 can be taken as a reference to determine the height difference or lifting displacement, and then the telescopic members 22 with high output end positions can be retracted to achieve the leveling of the workpiece. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the one with the highest output end position in each group of support seat assemblies 2 can be taken as a reference to determine the height difference or lifting displacement, and then the telescopic members 22 with low output end positions can be extended to achieve the leveling of the workpiece. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the one with an intermediate output end position in each group of support seat assemblies 2 can be taken as a reference to determine the height difference or lifting displacement, and then the telescopic members 22 with high or low output end positions can be retracted or extended correspondingly to achieve the leveling of the workpiece.
[0079] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the first slide rail 11 and the second slide rail 12 each include a guide rail 101, a lead screw 102, and a power member; the lead screw 102 is rotatably arranged on the guide rail 101, and the output end of the power member is connected to the end of the lead screw 102 for driving the lead screw 102 to rotate; the support seat assembly 2 has a threaded connection hole, the lead screw 102 of the second slide rail 12 passes through the threaded connection hole of the corresponding support seat assembly 2 and is threadedly connected with the support seat assembly 2; the guide rail 101 of the second slide rail 12 has a threaded connection hole, and the lead screw 102 of the first slide rail 11 passes through the threaded connection hole of the second slide rail 12 in the same group and is threadedly connected with the second slide rail 12.

The middle position of the length of the lead screw 102 is threadedly connected with the to-be-moved component, and the to-be-moved component is slidably arranged on the guide rail 101, i.e. is limited to move along the length direction of the guide rail 101, so that when the lead screw 102 is started to rotate by the power member, the to-be-moved component can be pushed to move along the length direction of the lead screw 102 and the guide rail 101. Such arrangement is beneficial to improve the position accuracy of the movement of the support seat assembly 2.
[0081] Specifically, the guide rail 101 and lead screw 102 in the first slide rail 11 are both arranged to extend along the X direction. When the movable part of the first slide rail 11 is the guide rail 101 of the second slide rail 12, the power component of the first slide rail 11 can carry the second slide rail 12 to move along the X direction after it is started.

The base 21 in the support seat assembly 2 is provided with a hydraulic assembly 23. The outlet of the hydraulic assembly 23 is communicated with the inlet of the telescopic member 22, and the outlet of the telescopic member 22 is communicated with the return port of the hydraulic assembly 23.

[0099] In addition to the leveling and loading system described above, this application also provides an ultrasonic water immersion focusing detection system that includes the leveling and loading system disclosed in the above embodiments. The structure of the other parts of the ultrasonic water immersion focusing detection system can be found in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0100] In some embodiments, the controller signal is connected to the ultrasonic detection probe to control the ultrasonic detection probe to emit ultrasonic pulses, and in particular, to control the ultrasonic detection probe to emit ultrasonic pulses toward the location of the support.
[0101] In addition to the ultrasonic water immersion focusing detection system and its leveling carrier system described above, this application also provides a leveling method applied to the leveling carrier system and ultrasonic water immersion focusing detection system disclosed in the above embodiments. The leveling method includes the following steps:
[0102] Step S1: After placing the workpiece in place, obtain the position coordinates of several support points of the workpiece. The support points are the contact points between the workpiece and the output end of the support base assembly 2.
[0103] Understandably, step S1 is a preparatory step for determining the location before performing ultrasonic ranging.
[0104] Step S2: Adjust the ultrasonic probe to the position coordinates of the target support point, and then control the ultrasonic probe to emit ultrasonic pulses towards the workpiece; obtain the bottom wave sound path S at the position coordinates corresponding to several support points, and take one of the bottom wave sound path S as the reference point sound path. Based on the bottom wave path S and the reference point path The lifting and lowering displacement of the output ends of several support base components 2 are determined.
[0105] It is understandable that step S2 is the complete process of ultrasonic ranging, which involves first transmitting an ultrasonic pulse at a fixed point, and then using the data fed back after detection (i.e., the sound path at the reference point) to determine the distance. The process is performed to finally determine the lifting and lowering displacement of the output ends of several support base components 2. It should be noted that the absolute value of the lifting and lowering displacement of the output ends of the target support base component 2 is equal to the height difference between the target support point and the support point used as the reference. Furthermore, the lifting and lowering displacement of the output ends of the support base component 2 is the displacement that the support base component 2 needs to raise or lower to achieve leveling.
[0106] Specifically, the bottom wave path S corresponding to a selected support point is taken as the reference point path. Using the data of the bottom wave path S and the reference point path After calculation, the lifting displacement of the output end of the corresponding support assembly 2 can be determined, wherein the lifting displacement of the support point as the reference is equal to 0.
[0107] Step S3: According to the lifting displacement of the output end of each support seat assembly 2, control the lifting of the output end of each support seat assembly 2.
[0108] It can be understood that step S3 is to control the lifting of the output end of each support seat assembly 2 according to the lifting displacement of the output end of each support seat assembly 2 determined in step S2, that is, the height difference of the target support point compared with the reference support point, so as to realize the alignment of the workpiece.
[0109] Further, on the basis of the above embodiment, after step S3, it further includes:
[0110] Step S4: Control the ultrasonic probe to emit ultrasonic pulses to the workpiece again; obtain the bottom surface wave sound path S corresponding to each support point, and determine whether the workpiece is successfully aligned according to the re-obtained bottom surface wave sound path S; if all the re-obtained bottom surface wave sound paths S are equal, the workpiece is successfully aligned, otherwise, the workpiece is not successfully aligned.
[0111] It can be understood that step S4 is used to verify whether the workpiece is aligned.
[0112] On the basis of the above embodiment, the reference point sound path is the lowest one of the bottom surface wave sound paths S; it can be understood that after emitting ultrasonic pulses, the bottom surface wave sound path S at the position of each support seat assembly 2 is detected and obtained, and after comparing each bottom surface wave sound path S, the minimum value is determined as the reference point sound path Based on this, in step S3, only the output end of the support seat assembly 2 at the remaining support points except the reference point needs to be lifted.
[0113] On the basis of the above embodiment, the calculation method of the lifting displacement of the output end of the support seat assembly 2 is: ; in the formula, K is a calculation coefficient, and , is the ultrasonic wave propagation speed in the workpiece, is the ultrasonic wave propagation speed in water.
[0114] It can be understood that the ultrasonic wave propagation speed in the workpiece, the ultrasonic wave propagation speed in water, the bottom surface wave sound path S, and the reference point sound path are used to calculate to determine the lifting displacement of the output end of the support seat assembly 2, wherein the ultrasonic wave propagation speed in the workpiece and the ultrasonic wave propagation speed in water are determined by the material itself, so they are determined values, which can be input externally or can be data provided by the system program and can be called, and the bottom surface wave sound path S and the reference point sound path is acquired in step S2, and the reference point sound path The one corresponding to the lowest support point is adopted.
