If "first," "second," etc., are used in the description, they are only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a method for detecting flaws in wind turbine blades, applied to wind turbine blades, including: Step S100: Obtain the size data of the wind turbine blades; Step S200: Emit ultrasonic waves at a certain detection position along a preset scanning route and receive the ultrasonic echoes from the wind turbine blades. Step S300: Determine whether there is damage to the wind turbine blades based on ultrasonic waves and ultrasonic echoes; If so, proceed to step S400: determine the damage type based on the ultrasonic echo, and determine the damage location based on the detection location and size data; continue to emit ultrasonic waves to the wind turbine blades at the next detection location along the preset scanning route; If not, continue to emit ultrasonic waves at the next detection position along the preset scanning route.
[0022] This invention first scans the wind turbine blades using a preset scanning route. Based on the scanning results, i.e., the ultrasonic echo, the damage status of the wind turbine blades is determined. If damage is found, the damage type is determined based on the ultrasonic echo, and the damage location is determined based on the current detection position. This completes the automatic flaw detection process, which facilitates timely early warning and emergency operations, greatly reducing the risk of serious damage to the wind turbine blades and ensuring the safety of wind turbine operators and equipment.
[0023] It is easy to understand that this method is executed in real time after scanning a scanned surface, rather than performing flaw detection after the scan is completed.
[0024] In one embodiment, in step S100, the dimensional data of the wind turbine blades include: length, width, thickness, density, and Young's modulus.
[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, in step S200, transmitting ultrasonic waves at a certain detection position along a preset scanning route and receiving the ultrasonic echoes from the wind turbine blades includes: Establish a coordinate system with the center of the central circle at the root of the wind turbine blade as the origin; Starting from the root of the wind turbine blade, ultrasonic waves are emitted along the centerline of the wind turbine blade towards the blade tip, maintaining a preset distance and height between the ultrasonic waves and the wind turbine blade in the vertical direction.

If not, then the fan blade is determined to be damaged; if so, then there is no damage.
[0028] In one embodiment, in step S300, determining whether there is damage to the wind turbine blades based on ultrasonic waves and ultrasonic echoes further includes: After determining that the difference between the peak height of the ultrasonic wave and the peak height of the ultrasonic echo is not less than a preset peak height threshold, the ultrasonic echo is filtered and the waveform duration of the ultrasonic echo is determined. Determine whether the difference between the duration of the ultrasonic wave waveform and the duration of the ultrasonic echo waveform is less than a preset time difference threshold.

The distance height is defined as the peak height of the ultrasonic wave; The peak height of the ultrasonic echo is determined based on the wavelength duration, longitudinal wave velocity, and distance altitude of the ultrasonic echo.
[0030] It is easy to understand that the peak height of the ultrasonic wave and the peak height of the ultrasonic echo determined in the above embodiments are only roughly determined whether the two are approximately equal, and a preliminary judgment is made that damage exists; while in this embodiment, the accurate values of the peak height of the ultrasonic wave and the peak height of the ultrasonic echo are determined, laying the foundation for subsequent determination of the damage type.

[0033] in, For longitudinal wave velocity, The duration of the ultrasonic echo. This represents the distance and height.
[0034] In one embodiment, determining the damage type based on the ultrasonic echo in step S400 includes: After confirming that the wind turbine blades are damaged, a first ultrasonic wave and a second ultrasonic wave are emitted again at the detection location towards the wind turbine blades, and a first ultrasonic echo corresponding to the first ultrasonic wave and a second ultrasonic echo corresponding to the second ultrasonic wave are received respectively; wherein, the ultrasonic wave with the first emission frequency is the first ultrasonic echo, and the ultrasonic wave with the second emission frequency is the second ultrasonic wave. The peak heights of the first and second ultrasonic echoes were determined respectively. The type of damage is determined based on the peak height of the ultrasonic echo, the peak height of the first ultrasonic echo, and the peak height of the second ultrasonic echo.
[0035] It should be noted that when defects exist on the blade, the transmission frequency of the ultrasonic flaw detector should be adjusted to... and And the damaged areas of the blades were re-inspected; among them, = , = C is a preset constant. The emission frequency for the initial ultrasonic wave emission; The steps and methods for determining the peak height of the first and second ultrasonic echoes are similar to those described above for determining the peak height of the ultrasonic echoes.
[0036] In one embodiment, determining the damage type based on the peak height of the ultrasonic echo, the peak height of the first ultrasonic echo, and the peak height of the second ultrasonic echo includes: The ratios of the peak heights of the ultrasonic echo, the first ultrasonic echo, and the second ultrasonic echo to their respective ultrasonic emission frequencies are determined. The ratios include: an initial ratio, a first ratio, and a second ratio. If the initial ratio is greater than the first ratio and less than the second ratio, the damage type is determined to be blade swelling damage; if both the first ratio and the second ratio are greater than the initial ratio, the damage type is determined to be blade breakage damage.
[0037] It should be noted that the expression for the initial ratio is as follows: = ,in, The initial ratio, This is the emission frequency of the ultrasound wave. The peak height of the ultrasonic echo; The expression for the first ratio is as follows: = ,in, The first ratio, The emission frequency of the first ultrasonic wave. The peak height of the first ultrasonic echo; The expression for the second ratio is as follows: = ,,in, The second ratio, This is the emission frequency of the second ultrasonic wave. The peak height of the second ultrasonic echo; This is the ratio of the wave peak to the emission frequency of the ultrasonic flaw detector on the blade. This is the ratio of wave crest height to frequency when the blade is defect-free. and This is the ratio of wave crest height to frequency when the blade has defects; and , The values are compared separately, if < and < If so, the blade defect type is determined to be a blade swelling defect; if > and If so, the blade defect type is determined to be a blade breakage defect.

[0039] It is easy to understand that the detection and flaw detection between the first detection position and the second detection position is also to determine whether there is damage to the wind turbine blades.
[0040] In one embodiment, the coordinates of the first trigger of the blade defect alarm, i.e., the first detection position, are ( , , The final coordinates that trigger the blade defect alarm, i.e., the second detection location, are ( , , Then, the surface area S and volume V of the blade defect can be calculated, as follows: The formula for calculating the surface area of blade defects is: =( - )×( - ); The formula for calculating the volume of blade defects is: =( - )×( - )×( - ).
[0041] In one embodiment, determining the degree of damage based on the damaged surface area and volume includes: If the damage type is leaf swelling damage, 0 < S < 15 or 0 < V < 60 If it is determined to be general damage, maintenance personnel should be reminded to strengthen the observation of blade operation; if 15 ≤S<30 Or 60 ≤V<120 If it is determined to be severely damaged, the blade deload operation strategy will be automatically executed. If 30 ≤S or 120 If the value is less than or equal to V, it is determined to be an emergency damage, and the unit blade shutdown strategy is automatically executed. If the damage type is blade breakage, 0 < S < 10 Or 0 < V < 40 If so, it is determined to be general damage. Maintenance personnel are reminded to strengthen observation of blade operation. If 10 ≤S<20 Or 40 ≤V<80 If it is determined to be severely damaged, the blade deload operation strategy will be automatically executed. If 20 ≤S or 80 If the value is less than or equal to V, it is determined to be an emergency damage, and the unit blade shutdown strategy will be automatically executed.
