[0024] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for testing rubber and metal riveted pipes according to one embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps: Step S110: In response to the pipeline inspection request information, obtain the cross-sectional projection data of the target pipe fitting;

[0025] In step S110, after receiving the pipeline inspection request information, the detection system automatically or manually places the target pipe at the center of the industrial CT scanning equipment. A microfocus X-ray source is used for scanning, which has extremely high resolution, ensuring the scan results are accurate to the micrometer level, with a resolution ≤5μm. During the scan, the X-ray source and detector perform a 360° spiral motion around the pipe, ensuring that every angle and every layer of the pipe structure is accurately captured, thereby obtaining comprehensive tomographic projection data.

[0026] Step S120: Based on the cross-sectional projection data of the target pipe fitting, determine the crimping section information. The crimping section information includes at least: the diameter of the metal crimping sleeve, the diameter of the internal rigid pipe, and the thickness of the sidewalls of multiple rubber tubes.

[0027] In step S20, the tomographic projection data obtained from industrial CT scans is processed using a three-dimensional filtered back projection (FBP) reconstruction algorithm. This algorithm effectively removes noise and improves image quality. During reconstruction, the algorithm considers projection information from all directions and comprehensively calculates the three-dimensional density distribution of the internal structure of the pipe fitting. The result is a high-resolution three-dimensional model of the rubber-metal interface, with an accuracy down to the micrometer level, providing a detailed data foundation for subsequent analysis.

[0028] Based on the reconstructed 3D model of the rubber-metal interface, an image segmentation algorithm is then used. The goal of image segmentation is to separate and distinguish different materials in the model according to their physical properties. This process can clearly define the contact interface between the metal clamping sleeve and the rubber tube, as well as their respective independent geometric shapes.

[0029] Image segmentation is used to obtain the rubber-metal crimping interface. A specific algorithm is then used to determine the location and dimensions of at least one crimping section. The crimping section data is determined by selecting sections in the 3D model aligned with the manufacturing direction. These sections will be used for subsequent detailed analysis and include at least the diameter of the metal crimping sleeve, the diameter of the internal rigid tube, and the thickness of the sidewalls of multiple rubber tubes. With the specific crimping section data, further analysis and extraction of key crimping section information are possible. This includes the diameter of the metal crimping sleeve, the actual diameter of the internal rigid tube, and the sidewall thickness of the rubber tubes at different locations.

[0030] Step S140: Determine the test result based on the crimping section information;

[0031] In step S140, firstly, the diameter of the metal crimping sleeve and the diameter of the internal rigid tube are extracted from the crimping section information. Then, the ratio of their diameters, i.e., the ratio of the metal crimping sleeve diameter to the internal rigid tube diameter, is calculated. This ratio reflects the degree of crimping of the internal rigid tube by the metal crimping sleeve and is a key parameter for evaluating the crimping dimensional status.

[0032] Ratio Error Judgment: Using a first preset threshold in the benchmark database, the comparison value is compared with the ideal ratio to calculate the ratio error. The ideal ratio is determined through preliminary experiments and analysis and serves as a reference value to ensure the quality of pipe crimping. If the ratio error is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, the crimping size is considered acceptable; conversely, if the ratio error is greater than the second preset threshold, it indicates that the crimping size is unacceptable.

[0033] After confirming that the crimping dimensions are acceptable, the compression of the rubber tube sidewall is further analyzed. This is determined by comparing the sidewall thickness before and after crimping. The sidewall thickness of the rubber tube is measured in multiple directions, and the compression in each direction is calculated to obtain a set of rubber tube sidewall compression data.

[0034] The specific formula for calculating the compression amount is as follows: Li = (1-A / a)*100% (2);

[0035] Where a is the original thickness of the rubber tube sidewall before compression in the i-th direction, A is the thickness of the rubber tube sidewall after compression in the i-th direction, and Li is the amount of compression of the rubber tube sidewall in the i-th direction.

[0036] Based on the third preset threshold in the benchmark database, the compression amount of the rubber tube sidewall in each direction is judged individually. If the compression amount in any direction exceeds the second preset threshold, the crimping uniformity is immediately determined to be unqualified. If the compression amount in all directions does not exceed the second preset threshold, the thickness uniformity of the rubber tube sidewall will continue to be calculated.

[0037] The thickness uniformity is calculated by comparing the deviation of the rubber tube sidewall thickness in each direction from the average thickness. If the thickness uniformity is less than or equal to the fourth preset threshold, the compression uniformity of the rubber tube sidewall is considered good, and the crimping uniformity is qualified; if the thickness uniformity is greater than the thickness uniformity, the crimping uniformity is unqualified.

[0038] The specific formula for calculating the thickness uniformity is as follows: λ=(Li-L0) / L0(2;

[0039] Where λ is the thickness uniformity and L0 is the average value of the compression in multiple directions.

[0040] After analyzing the dimensional and uniformity information, the final test result is determined based on the crimping uniformity information. If the crimping uniformity information indicates that the test result is acceptable, the target fitting is considered acceptable; conversely, if the uniformity is unacceptable, the test result is unacceptable regardless of the dimensional status, because uniformity is crucial for the reliability and lifespan of the pipeline.

[0041] Step S160: Based on the detection results, a control instruction set is generated. The control instruction set is used to control the alarm system to output early warning information. The early warning information includes at least one of the following: information that the target pipe fitting is a qualified product, or information that the target pipe fitting is a non-qualified product.

[0042] In step S160, after inspecting the rubber-metal riveted pipe, the system determines whether the pipe meets the set quality standards based on the obtained data. If the inspection results show that the pipe meets the specifications, the system will generate a control command set, instructing the alarm system to output a warning message indicating that the target pipe is a qualified product. Conversely, if the inspection results show that the pipe has a quality problem, the system will also generate a control command set, but this time the command set will instruct the alarm system to output a warning message indicating that the target pipe is a non-qualified product. This mechanism ensures immediate quality feedback, which helps to quickly identify and handle non-conforming products.

[0043] For pipe fittings deemed unqualified, i.e., failed fittings, the system further utilizes the Euclidean distance algorithm to calculate the deviation between their crimping section information and benchmark data. This deviation is specifically measured by quantifying the differences in key parameters such as the diameter of the metal crimping sleeve, the diameter of the internal rigid tube, and the thickness of the rubber tube sidewall of the failed fitting, to determine the degree of deviation from the standard process.

[0044] Deviation analysis helps to accurately pinpoint abnormalities in the process flow, such as mold deformation, inaccurate pressure settings, or material defects, providing direct data support for subsequent process improvements. By comparing the differences in key parameters between failed parts and benchmark data, it is possible to determine which steps or parameters need optimization, thereby reducing the generation of defective products.

[0045] After the alarm system outputs a warning message, the detection system records the status information of each target pipe fitting, including whether the fitting is qualified or unqualified. This recording process provides basic data for subsequent quality control and data analysis.

[0046] Based on the status information of the pipe fittings, the system generates a second set of control instructions to control the inspection system to execute a cyclical strategy. The cyclical strategy includes at least one of the following: upon detecting a defective product, immediately remove the current pipe fitting and automatically initiate the inspection process for the next target pipe fitting, ensuring that defective products do not continue to circulate on the production line while maintaining the continuity and efficiency of the inspection process.

[0047] Based on the inspection results, the alarm system is linked to control the command set to output real-time warnings of whether the pipe fittings are qualified or not. For unqualified pipe fittings, the deviation of their process parameters from benchmark data is calculated using the Euclidean distance algorithm to pinpoint the specific process anomaly. The system automatically records the status information of each pipe fitting and generates a second control command set based on this information. This sets the loop strategy of the inspection system, rejecting unqualified products and continuing to inspect the next pipe fitting on the production line.

[0048] Based on steps S110 to S160 above, in this embodiment of the invention, the cross-sectional projection data of the pipe fitting is obtained, and the parameters of the crimping section are accurately analyzed using three-dimensional modeling technology, including the diameter of the metal crimping sleeve, the diameter of the internal rigid pipe, and the thickness and uniformity of the rubber tube sidewall. This significantly improves the detection accuracy and efficiency, accurately identifies and locates potential defects inside the pipeline, effectively avoids irreversible damage to the pipeline caused by traditional detection methods, and can instantly obtain the qualified status information of the pipe fitting, generate control command sets in a timely manner, and link the alarm system to output early warning information, ensuring the instant screening and processing of non-conforming products on the production line, greatly reducing the defect rate, and solving the technical problem in the prior art that it is impossible to achieve high-precision internal defect detection of rubber and metal riveted pipes under non-destructive conditions.

[0049] The method for detecting rubber-metal riveted pipes according to embodiments of the present invention determines the crimping section information based on the cross-sectional projection data of the target pipe fitting. The method includes: establishing a three-dimensional model of the rubber-metal interface using a three-dimensional filtered back-projection reconstruction algorithm based on the cross-sectional projection data of the target pipe fitting; determining at least one crimping section data using an image segmentation algorithm based on the three-dimensional model of the rubber-metal interface; and determining the crimping section information based on the crimping section data. By applying the three-dimensional filtered back-projection reconstruction algorithm and image segmentation technology, the present invention can accurately establish a three-dimensional model of the rubber-metal interface, thereby determining at least one crimping section data and accurately extracting the crimping section information. The advantage of this method is that it greatly improves the accuracy and reliability of the detection, revealing the complex internal structure and defects of the pipe fitting at a micron-level resolution. Compared with traditional detection methods, it enables non-destructive testing while ensuring a comprehensive analysis of key parameters of the crimping process. This provides a scientific basis for the quality control and process optimization of rubber-metal riveted pipes, significantly improving production efficiency and product consistency.

[0050] Furthermore, based on the crimping cross-section information, the test results are determined, including: determining the crimping dimensional status information based on the crimping cross-section information; determining the crimping uniformity status information based on the crimping dimensional status information; and determining the test results based on the crimping uniformity status information. Through multi-level analysis based on crimping cross-section information, the test method proposed in this invention can meticulously evaluate the crimping dimensional status and uniformity status of rubber and metal riveted pipes, thereby ensuring the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the test results. The advantage of this method is that it can effectively identify and quantify minor deviations in the pipe manufacturing process, promptly detect potential hazards that may affect product quality and performance, such as improper crimping pressure, dimensional mismatch, or non-uniformity, and thus quickly provide a judgment on whether it is qualified or not. This provides strong support for real-time monitoring and quality control of the production line, helps improve product consistency and reliability, and also provides precise data guidance for process improvement.

[0051] In this embodiment, the crimping dimension status information is determined based on the crimping cross-section information, including: determining the diameter ratio of the metal crimping sleeve and the internal rigid tube based on the diameter of the metal crimping sleeve and the internal rigid tube in the crimping cross-section information; determining the ratio error based on the diameter ratio using a first preset threshold in the benchmark database; judging the ratio error based on a second preset threshold in the benchmark database to obtain a first judgment result; responding to the first judgment result that the ratio error is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, the crimping dimension status information is in a qualified state; responding to the first judgment result that the ratio error is greater than the second preset threshold, the crimping dimension status information is in a non-qualified state. Through multi-level analysis of the crimping cross-section information, the precise identification and quantification of minute deviations in the manufacturing process of rubber and metal riveted pipes are achieved, enabling rapid and accurate evaluation of the crimping dimension status and uniformity status, ensuring the comprehensiveness and reliability of the test results. This method significantly improves the quality control efficiency on the production line and helps to promptly identify potential problems affecting product quality and performance.

[0052] In an exemplary embodiment, determining the crimping uniformity status information based on the crimping dimension status information includes: determining multiple rubber tube sidewall compression amounts based on the multiple rubber tube sidewall thicknesses in the crimping cross-section information, based on the crimping dimension status information indicating a qualified crimping dimension status; judging the multiple rubber tube sidewall compression amounts based on a third preset threshold in a benchmark database to obtain multiple second judgment results; responding to at least one of the multiple second judgment results being the third preset threshold for rubber tube sidewall compression, the crimping uniformity status information is in a unqualified crimping uniformity status; responding to all multiple second judgment results being less than the third preset threshold for rubber tube sidewall compression... The uniformity of the rubber tube sidewall thickness is determined based on the compression of multiple rubber tube sidewalls, equal to the third preset threshold. Based on the fourth preset threshold in the benchmark database, the uniformity of the rubber tube sidewall thickness is judged to obtain a third judgment result. If the third judgment result indicates that the uniformity of the rubber tube sidewall thickness is less than or equal to the fourth preset threshold, the crimping uniformity status information is in a qualified state. If the third judgment result indicates that the uniformity of the rubber tube sidewall thickness is greater than the fourth preset threshold, the crimping uniformity status information is in a substandard state. Based on the crimping dimension status information indicating a qualified state, the crimping uniformity status information is determined to be substandard.

[0053] This embodiment utilizes precise assessment of crimping uniformity based on crimping dimension status information. Its advantage lies in its ability to systematically analyze the thickness variations of the rubber tube sidewalls, thereby quantifying the uniformity during the crimping process. By comparing multiple rubber tube sidewall compression values ​​with preset thresholds, it can quickly identify any localized non-uniformities exceeding the allowable range and further calculate the overall thickness uniformity of the rubber tube sidewalls, ensuring consistency across the entire crimping interface. This refined inspection process, combined with guidance from a benchmark database, not only instantly determines whether the pipe crimping uniformity is up to standard but also effectively prevents product failures caused by uneven crimping, significantly improving product quality and production efficiency.

[0054] In this embodiment, the test result is determined based on the crimping uniformity status information, including: if the crimping uniformity status information indicates an unqualified crimping uniformity state, the test result is determined to be an unqualified target pipe fitting; if the crimping uniformity status information indicates a qualified crimping uniformity state, the test result is determined to be a qualified target pipe fitting. By directly linking the crimping uniformity status information with the final test result, the quality assessment of rubber and metal riveted pipes is simplified and standardized. The advantage of this method is that it can quickly and accurately transform the complex crimping interface uniformity analysis into an intuitive qualified / unqualified judgment, avoiding the subjectivity and time consumption of manual interpretation, ensuring that every product undergoes rigorous quality screening, and significantly improving production efficiency and product consistency.

[0055] In an exemplary embodiment, the detection method further includes: determining the deviation between the failed component and benchmark data based on the crimping section information using an Euclidean distance algorithm. This deviation is used to identify any abnormal process steps in the target pipe fitting's manufacturing process. By introducing the Euclidean distance algorithm to quantify the deviation between the crimping section information and benchmark data, this technique offers the advantage of objectively and accurately identifying specific abnormal process steps in the rubber-metal riveting process of the target pipe fitting. Using Euclidean distance as a metric not only allows for a detailed assessment of the discrepancies between each manufacturing detail and the ideal state but also enables rapid identification of the root causes of crimping uniformity or dimensional defects, such as insufficient mold precision or inaccurate pressure control. This provides a basis for timely adjustment of process parameters and optimization of the production process.

[0056] In an exemplary embodiment, the detection method further includes: after the alarm system outputs a warning message, recording the status information of the target pipe fitting, wherein the status information includes at least one of the following: qualified status, unqualified status; and generating a second control instruction set based on the status information, the second control instruction set being used to control the detection system to execute a cyclic strategy, wherein the cyclic strategy includes at least one of the following: a strategy of eliminating the current target pipe fitting and detecting the next target pipe fitting.

[0057] This embodiment significantly enhances the real-time feedback and automated processing capabilities of production quality control by integrating the alarm system and status information recording mechanism. Once a quality problem is detected in a target pipe fitting, triggering an early warning, the system immediately records its qualified or unqualified status and then automatically generates a second set of control instructions. The instructions then command the detection system to execute a cyclical strategy, such as automatically rejecting unqualified pipe fittings and seamlessly connecting to the next product to be inspected. This mechanism not only reduces the need for manual intervention and avoids the subsequent circulation of unqualified products, but also speeds up the entire inspection and production process, improving the continuity and efficiency of workshop operations.

[0058] Figure 2 This is another method for testing rubber and metal riveted pipes according to one embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps: Step 201: In response to the pipeline inspection request information, obtain the cross-sectional projection data of the target pipe fitting; Step 202: Determine the crimping section information based on the target pipe fitting tomographic projection data; Step 203: Based on the diameter of the metal crimp sleeve and the diameter of the internal rigid tube in the crimp cross section information, determine the diameter ratio of the metal crimp sleeve and the internal rigid tube. Step 204: Based on the diameter ratio, determine the ratio error using the first preset threshold in the benchmark database; Step 205: Based on the second preset threshold in the benchmark database, the error of the comparison value is judged to obtain the first judgment result; Step 206: In response to the first judgment result that the ratio error is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, the buckling size status information is that the buckling size is qualified. Step 207: In response to the first judgment result that the ratio error is greater than the second preset threshold, the crimping size status information is that the crimping size is unqualified. Step 208: Based on the crimping dimension status information, which indicates that the crimping dimension is in a qualified state, and based on the multiple rubber tube sidewall thicknesses in the crimping cross-section information, determine the compression amount of multiple rubber tube sidewalls. Step 209: Based on the third preset threshold in the benchmark database, the compression amount of multiple rubber tube sidewalls is judged to obtain multiple second judgment results; Step 210: In response to at least one of the multiple second judgment results being a third preset threshold for the compression amount of the rubber tube sidewall, the buckling uniformity status information is a buckling uniformity unqualified state. Step 211: In response to multiple second judgment results being that the rubber tube sidewall compression is less than or equal to a third preset threshold, determine the uniformity of the rubber tube sidewall thickness based on multiple rubber tube sidewall compression values. Step 212: Based on the fourth preset threshold in the benchmark database, the uniformity of the rubber tube sidewall thickness is judged to obtain the third judgment result; Step 213: In response to the third judgment result that the uniformity of the rubber tube sidewall thickness is less than or equal to the fourth preset threshold, the buckling uniformity status information is in the qualified state of buckling uniformity. Step 214: In response to the third judgment result that the uniformity of the rubber tube sidewall thickness is greater than the fourth preset threshold, the buckling uniformity status information is a buckling uniformity unqualified state. Step 215: Based on the fact that the crimping dimension status information is in the qualified state of the non-crimped dimension, the crimping uniformity status information is determined to be in the unqualified state of crimping uniformity. Step 216: Based on the information that the crimping uniformity is unqualified, the test result is determined to be that the target fitting is unqualified.

[0059] Step 217: Based on the crimping uniformity status information, which indicates that the crimping uniformity is qualified, the test result is determined to be qualified for the target pipe fitting.
