[0018] In addition to the embodiments described below, other embodiments or ways of practicing the application are possible. Therefore, it is to be understood that the application is not limited to the particular details described or illustrated in the specification and any drawings. When only one embodiment is introduced herein, the claims are not limited to this embodiment.
[0019] As shown in the drawings, a sound emission source simulation device in high temperature environment comprises a cooling transition structure 1, a mechanical pencil 2, and a support 3. The mechanical pencil 2 comprises a lead core which is located in a lead core conveying pipe and is in the central axis of the mechanical pencil. The lead core enters the lead core conveying pipe of the cooling transition structure by pressing the lead feeding button at the rear end of the mechanical pencil, and the lead core extends out. The cooling transition structure is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet, and the lead core conveying pipe forms a cooling water circulation cavity. The support is a rubber pad which applies corresponding force at the force point to complete the upward movement of the device and to make the lead core at the end of the cooling transition structure break, thereby generating sound emission signals in the high temperature region of the structure. Figure 1
[0020] Firstly, the installation size L of the combined device and the height H of the support are determined according to the positions of the high temperature region and the non-high temperature region to be calibrated.
[0021] Secondly, high temperature materials are selected as the materials of the cooling transition structure according to the temperature of the high temperature environment, and the cooling water flow speed is determined by calculation. The material of the rubber pad at the support is selected according to the H and L determined in the first step, and the deformation amount thereof is calculated to ensure that it can achieve a suitable deformation amount.
[0022] Finally, the cooling transition structure 1 and the used mechanical pencil 2 and the support 3 are combined into a sound emission source signal simulation device. According to the need, corresponding force is applied at the force point to complete the upward movement of the device and to make the lead core at the end of the cooling transition structure break, thereby generating sound emission signals in the high temperature region of the structure.
[0023] Firstly, the installation size L of the combined device and the height H of the support are determined according to the positions of the high temperature region and the non-high temperature region to be calibrated.
[0024] Secondly, high temperature materials are selected as the materials of the cooling transition structure according to the temperature of the high temperature environment, and the cooling water flow speed is determined by calculation. The material of the rubber pad at the support is selected according to the H and L determined in the first step, and the deformation amount thereof is calculated to ensure that it can achieve a suitable deformation amount.
[0025] Finally, the cooling transition structure and the used mechanical pencil and the support are combined into a sound emission source signal simulation device. According to the need, corresponding force is applied at the force point to complete the upward movement of the device and to make the lead core at the end of the cooling transition structure break, thereby generating sound emission signals in the high temperature region of the structure.
[0026] The specific implementation method is as follows:
[0027] Determine the installation distance L of the acoustic emission source simulation device based on the location where the acoustic emission source simulation signal is generated and the installation location in a non-high-temperature area.
[0028] According to acoustic emission principles, when a lead breaks, the pen body should form a 30° angle with the structural surface. Figure 1 In the combined structure shown, the support height H can be calculated from L determined in the first step:
[0029]
[0030] Based on the ambient temperature at the acoustic emission source simulation device, appropriate structural materials are selected through calculation, generally high-temperature resistant alloy materials.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, L1 and the lead output pipe in the cooling transition structure form a cooling water circulation cavity. It should be ensured that the temperature of the mechanical pencil does not exceed its tolerance level during normal operation; the length of L1 is determined through calculation. Mechanical pencils are made of materials such as plastic, and during operation, the temperature is reduced by the cooling system, and its temperature should be below its heat distortion temperature.
[0032] Selection of the lead delivery tube diameter. The internal diameter of the lead delivery tube should be selected and determined according to the requirements of acoustic emission standards, generally 0.5mm or 0.7mm, and should be consistent with the diameter of the mechanical pencil lead.
[0033] L2 is defined in the cooling transition structure. The length of L2 should allow 2 / 3 of the mechanical pencil body to be inserted into the cooling transition structure, ensuring stability and reliability.
[0034] The diameter D of the cooling transition structure is determined. The inner wall diameter of the cooling transition structure should not be less than the maximum diameter of the mechanical pencil body.
[0035] exist Figure 1 In the assembly, the mechanical pencil is connected to the support via a clamp and can rotate freely between the clamp and the support.
[0036] Requirements for the rubber pad between the mechanical pencil and its base: The rubber pad should have sufficient elasticity to generate a certain amount of compression when compressed, ensuring that both the cooling transition structure and the mechanical pencil will break the lead under stress. Simultaneously, it should also ensure that after the lead-breaking action is complete, the lowest point of the cooling structure does not touch the surface of the structural component.
[0037] By squeezing the lead feed button at the rear of the mechanical pencil, the lead enters the lead delivery tube of the cooling transition structure, with the lead extending 3mm from its lowest point.
[0038] exist Figure 1An upward force is applied to the force application point in the device assembly, causing the cooling transition structure and the mechanical pencil as a whole to rotate around the connection between the clamp and the support, thereby causing the lead to break and completing the stress fluctuation of the acoustic emission source in the structure.
[0039] Operating Procedure: Before the test, the cooling structure is assembled with the mechanical pencil as a single unit, connected to the support via clamps and rubber pads. The lead extension button is pressed, allowing the lead to extend approximately 3mm, ensuring the assembled structure forms a 30° ±5° angle with the surface of the test structure. The water inlet and outlet pipes are connected, and the water flow rate is adjusted to ensure the assembled structure's temperature does not exceed its heat distortion temperature. An upward force is applied to the tail of the mechanical pencil, causing the lead at the front to break off.
