[0001] This invention relates to the field of tunnel engineering inspection applications, and in particular to an inspection device and method for testing the quality of tunnel lining. Background Technology
[0002] As a support structure, the quality of tunnel lining directly affects tunnel safety and service life. Currently, the industry commonly uses methods such as ground-penetrating radar (GPR), percussion testing, and core drilling for inspection. GPR detects internal defects through electromagnetic wave reflection imaging, but is limited by high equipment costs and complex operation; percussion testing relies on manual experience to determine hollow areas, resulting in low efficiency and high subjectivity; while core drilling provides accurate results, it is a destructive method and cannot comprehensively cover the inspection area. In recent years, with the expansion of tunnel construction, the demand for efficient, accurate, and non-destructive inspection technologies has become increasingly urgent.
[0003] Common methods for inspecting tunnel lining quality cannot balance efficiency, accuracy, and economy. In particular, there is a lack of portable equipment suitable for confined spaces (such as subway shield tunnels), and most technologies are difficult to achieve real-time data feedback and automated analysis. Furthermore, destructive testing can easily lead to damage to the lining structure, which cannot meet the working requirements of tunnel engineering inspection applications. Therefore, a testing device and method for tunnel lining quality are proposed. Summary of the Invention

Simultaneously, it uses a deep learning defect identification algorithm to intelligently analyze the fused data and automatically identify and classify the defect types of the tunnel lining. S5 Results Display and Report Generation: The host computer displays the analysis results as a 3D model on the monitor and generates a detailed inspection report based on the defect identification results.

[0014] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a detection device and method for tunnel lining quality, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention enables ultrasonic testing of tunnel lining structures using an added ultrasonic sensor. The signal generator and data acquisition card inside the control unit process the data collected by the ultrasonic sensor, and the thickness calculation algorithm and defect identification model inside the processing unit further process the data to obtain the final test data. This avoids destructive damage to the lining structure, solves the structural damage problem caused by traditional core drilling, ensures the integrity of the tunnel support system, and, through multi-probe collaborative scanning and surface adaptive fitting algorithm, can accurately measure the lining thickness and identify internal defects. This overcomes the shortcomings of manual tapping method, which is highly subjective and has large errors, and the test results are more objective and reliable. The added control unit and processing unit can process ultrasonic signals in real time and automatically generate thickness calculation and defect classification results through the data analysis module, avoiding the lag of traditional methods that rely on manual interpretation, and realizing intelligent and real-time testing. 2. This invention uses a motor to drive the rotation of the transmission rod and the insertion rod, which in turn drives the transmission frame and the sector teeth to swing through the transmission groove. This, in turn, drives the T-shaped swing arm to swing left and right through the gears. This swinging motion allows the ultrasonic sensor to form a sector-shaped scanning surface during ultrasonic sensor detection. A single swing can cover the transverse cross-section of the tunnel lining, reducing the number of device movements. Furthermore, the swinging motion allows the ultrasonic sensor to scan the lining surface at different angles, enabling the acquisition of more comprehensive reflected signal data. Combined with multi-probe collaborative work, it can effectively reduce detection blind spots and improve the accuracy of identifying defects such as voids and cracks. At the same time, the swinging ultrasonic sensor can better conform to the curved shape of the tunnel lining, ensuring that the ultrasonic signal is incident perpendicularly, reducing signal attenuation or misjudgment, and improving the reliability of thickness measurement.

[0025] Please see Figure 7 This invention provides a method for using a tunnel lining quality testing device. Based on the above-mentioned testing device suitable for tunnel lining quality, the method includes the following steps: S1 device preparation: The device is moved to the designated detection position using the casters 6 at the bottom of the base 1; S2 pre-test calibration: The control host 5 and processing host 7 are started to perform system self-test, confirming that the signal generator, data acquisition card, data analysis module and display 8 are working properly. Then, the ultrasonic sensor 16 is started to perform calibration scan. After the control host 5 and processing host 7 complete the system self-test, a multi-level verification mechanism is used to perform benchmark calibration on a standard test block of known thickness to establish the correspondence between ultrasonic propagation time and thickness. Then, 3-5 positions are selected on the surface of the tunnel lining to be tested for local calibration. Finally, the self-diagnostic program built into the control host 5 is used to verify each channel of the ultrasonic sensor 16. S3 testing operation and data acquisition: The motor 20 is started, which drives the ultrasonic sensor 16 on the T-shaped swing arm 14 to reciprocate and scan through the transmission rod 23 and the transmission frame 24. The host 5 collects ultrasonic signals in real time and performs preliminary processing through the data acquisition card. The processing host 7 further processes the collected data through the data analysis module, including thickness calculation and defect identification. S4 Data Analysis: The processing host 7 integrates ultrasonic detection data with tunnel lining design drawings and construction record data through a multimodal data fusion module. It also automatically fits the inner surface shape of the tunnel lining based on the ultrasonic detection data using a surface adaptive fitting algorithm. At the same time, it uses a deep learning defect recognition algorithm to intelligently analyze the fused data and automatically identify and classify the defect types of the tunnel lining. Multimodal data fusion employs spatiotemporal alignment technology. This technology matches real-time acquired ultrasonic data with the spatial coordinate system of the design drawings and eliminates measurement errors through a feature point registration algorithm. In the spatial benchmark establishment stage, the system first loads the original design drawing data of the tunnel lining. These drawings contain the planar coordinates and elevation information of the tunnel axis, as well as detailed geometric parameters of the lining cross-section. The processing host 7 uses a built-in coordinate transformation module to convert the two-dimensional CAD coordinate system of the design drawings into a three-dimensional engineering coordinate system suitable for on-site inspection. Simultaneously, the system establishes a correspondence between the ultrasonic sensor array 16 and the tunnel mileage markers based on the initial positioning information of the detection device. During this process, the system intelligently identifies key features of the tunnel, such as construction joints and expansion joints, as reference points for subsequent data matching. The time series synchronization stage mainly addresses the time dimension alignment of the detection data. The system uses a high-precision clock synchronization mechanism to ensure that the timestamps of the ultrasonic acquisition data strictly correspond to the device's motion trajectory records. When the motor 20 drives the T-shaped swing arm 14 to perform reciprocating scanning, the system records the precise moment of each ultrasonic pulse emission in real time and establishes a correlation with the angular displacement sensor data of the transmission mechanism. This spatiotemporal correlation mechanism ensures that each set of detection data accurately corresponds to the specific spatial location of the tunnel lining, laying the foundation for subsequent multi-source data fusion. Feature point matching and calibration is the core of this technology. The system first extracts significant feature points from the ultrasonic detection data, such as obvious reflective interfaces on the lining surface and points of abrupt changes in material properties. These feature points are intelligently matched with key structural nodes in the design drawings. During the matching process, the system employs an adaptive search algorithm to find the optimal spatial correspondence while considering allowable errors in tunnel construction. For important structural parts, the system performs multiple verifications to ensure the reliability of the matching results. This feature point registration effectively eliminates spatial position deviations caused by construction deviations, equipment installation errors, and other factors. The error compensation optimization process further improves the accuracy of data fusion. The system establishes a dynamic error compensation model, calculating the error distribution pattern of the entire detection area based on the known deviations of the matching points. For minor deviations in local areas, the system uses a smooth interpolation method for correction; for systematic deviations, it performs overall adjustment through coordinate transformation. Simultaneously, the system combines actual measurement data from construction records to make necessary corrections to the theoretical coordinates of the design drawings, achieving the best fusion effect for the multi-source data. The entire fusion process achieved millimeter-level spatial alignment accuracy, providing a reliable data foundation for subsequent defect identification; The adaptive surface fitting algorithm includes curvature continuity optimization processing. This involves reconstructing the microscopic geometry of the lining's inner surface by analyzing the time delay characteristics of the ultrasonic reflection signal. For areas with incomplete detection data, a physical constraint-based interpolation algorithm is used for estimation. In the raw data preprocessing stage, the system first extracts the time delay features of the acquired ultrasonic reflection signals. After digital filtering, the reflected signals received by each ultrasonic sensor 16 accurately identify the reflection interface positions of each medium layer. By calculating the time difference between ultrasonic wave transmission and reception, and combining this with the material's sound velocity characteristics, the system constructs a preliminary ranging data point cloud. These data points record the spatial location information of each detection point on the lining's inner surface. During preprocessing, the system removes outliers, eliminating erroneous ranging data caused by signal interference or equipment noise, ensuring the data quality for subsequent reconstruction. Curvature continuity optimization reconstruction is the core of this algorithm. The system employs a progressive surface generation strategy, gradually constructing a complete lining inner surface model starting from the initial detection points. During reconstruction, the system pays particular attention to maintaining the geometric continuity of the surface, using intelligent algorithms to ensure smooth transitions between adjacent areas. For areas with significant curvature variations, such as the tunnel arch, the system automatically increases sampling density to improve reconstruction accuracy. Simultaneously, the algorithm references the theoretical surface shape in the design drawings, optimizing the reconstructed surface while ensuring the accuracy of the measured data. This dual constraint based on measured data and engineering experience ensures that the final reconstructed surface conforms to both the actual detection results and the structural rationality requirements. For areas with incomplete detection data, the system employs an intelligent compensation mechanism based on physical constraints. When data loss due to occlusion or signal attenuation is detected in certain areas, the system first analyzes the distribution characteristics of surrounding valid data and establishes a local geometric trend model. Then, based on the mechanical properties and material properties of the tunnel structure, reasonable physical constraints are applied, such as maximum allowable curvature and minimum structural thickness. Under these constraints, the system uses an adaptive interpolation algorithm to infer the surface morphology of the missing areas. For critical structural components, the system provides a data reliability assessment, alerting engineers to potential uncertainties. The deep learning defect identification algorithm adopts a multi-scale feature extraction architecture, that is, it processes the original waveform, spectral features and time-frequency analysis results through parallel convolutional neural networks, and then fuses the feature representations at different levels through an attention mechanism. The specific process of the above method is as follows: Original waveform processing branch: This branch of the network receives the original ultrasonic signal as input and extracts local and global features from the signal through a series of convolutional layers, pooling layers and activation functions. The convolutional layers are responsible for capturing local patterns in the signal, the pooling layers reduce the dimensionality of the features, and the activation functions introduce nonlinearity to enhance the network's expressive power. Spectral Feature Processing Branch: This branch network receives the spectral features of the ultrasonic signal as input. The spectral features are extracted from the original signal using methods such as Fourier transform, reflecting the signal's characteristics in the frequency domain. Similarly, through convolutional layers, pooling layers, and activation functions, useful information in the spectral features is extracted. This branch network can capture specific patterns of the signal in the frequency domain, playing an important role in identifying certain types of defects. Time-frequency analysis result processing branch: This branch network receives the time-frequency analysis results of the ultrasonic signal as input. The time-frequency analysis results are obtained through methods such as wavelet transform, and simultaneously reflect the characteristics of the signal in the time and frequency domains. Through convolutional layers, pooling layers, and activation functions, multi-scale features in the time-frequency analysis results are extracted. This branch network can capture the joint features of the signal in the time and frequency domains, which is of great significance for identifying complex and variable defect patterns. After the parallel convolutional neural network processes the features of the three branches, the algorithm fuses these feature representations from different levels through an attention mechanism. The attention mechanism dynamically weights inputs from different features or different time steps to highlight important information and suppress noise and redundant information. The algorithm first calculates the attention weight for each feature branch. These weights reflect the importance of different feature branches in defect identification. Then, the features of the three branches are weighted and fused according to the attention weights to obtain a comprehensive feature representation. This step can effectively integrate feature information at different levels and scales, improving the accuracy and robustness of defect identification. Finally, the algorithm inputs the fused feature representation into a fully connected layer and a classifier to achieve automatic defect identification and classification. The fully connected layer further integrates and transforms the fused features to obtain a high-dimensional feature vector. The classifier then outputs the defect type and confidence level based on this feature vector. The classifier can use methods such as the soft maximum function to implement multi-classification tasks. S5 Results Display and Report Generation: The host computer 7 displays the analysis results as a three-dimensional model on the monitor 8, and generates a detailed inspection report based on the defect identification results.
[0026] This solution utilizes an added ultrasonic sensor 16 to perform ultrasonic testing on the tunnel lining structure. The signal generator and data acquisition card inside the control host 5 process the data collected by the ultrasonic sensor 16, and the thickness calculation algorithm and defect identification model inside the processing host 7 further process the data to obtain the final test data. This avoids destructive damage to the lining structure, solves the structural damage problem caused by traditional core drilling methods, and ensures the integrity of the tunnel support system. Furthermore, through multi-probe collaborative scanning and surface adaptive fitting algorithms, the lining thickness can be accurately measured and internal defects can be identified, overcoming the subjectivity and large error of manual tapping methods. The test results are more objective and reliable. The added control host 5 and processing host 7 can process ultrasonic signals in real time and automatically generate thickness calculation and defect classification results through the data analysis module, avoiding the lag of traditional methods that rely on manual interpretation, and realizing intelligent and real-time testing.
[0027] This solution uses a motor 20 to drive the rotation of the transmission rod 23 and the insertion rod 26, which in turn drives the transmission frame 24 and the sector tooth 22 to swing through the transmission groove 25. This, in turn, drives the T-shaped swing arm 14 to swing back and forth through the gear 15. This swinging motion allows the ultrasonic sensor 16 to form a sector scanning surface during detection. A single swing can cover the transverse cross-section of the tunnel lining, reducing the number of device movements. Furthermore, the swinging motion allows the ultrasonic sensor 16 to scan the lining surface at different angles, enabling the acquisition of more comprehensive reflected signal data. Combined with the collaborative work of multiple probes, this effectively reduces blind spots and improves the accuracy of identifying defects such as voids and cracks. At the same time, the swinging ultrasonic sensor 16 can better conform to the curved shape of the tunnel lining, ensuring that the ultrasonic signal is incident perpendicularly, reducing signal attenuation or misjudgment, and improving the reliability of thickness measurement.
