Detailed Implementation

[0021] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0022] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes a pressure equipment full-area wall thickness detection system and method according to embodiments of this application. Addressing the technical problems mentioned in the background art, such as insufficient detection coverage, delayed response, difficulty in accurately obtaining defect location information when defects are detected, difficulty in timely remediation, significant safety hazards, and poor economic efficiency, this application provides a pressure equipment full-area wall thickness detection method. In this system, a full-area scanning robot can scan the global wall thickness data of the target pressure equipment to achieve global scanning, reducing safety hazards caused by spot checks. A modeling module constructs a three-dimensional model of the target pressure equipment based on the global wall thickness data. An early warning module tracks the data changes in the global wall thickness data, calculates the wall thickness change rate of the target pressure equipment, and thus confirms the defect location to match the corresponding early warning action. Finally, the rendering effect of the three-dimensional model is optimized based on the early warning action to highlight areas of the target pressure equipment that do not meet the preset wall thickness conditions, achieving defect location and facilitating timely remediation without long-term downtime, thus ensuring economic efficiency. This solves the technical problems in related technologies, such as insufficient detection coverage, delayed response, difficulty in accurately obtaining defect location information when defects are detected, difficulty in timely remediation, significant safety hazards, and poor economic efficiency.

[0023] Specifically, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a pressure equipment full-area wall thickness detection system provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the pressure equipment full-area wall thickness detection system 10 includes: a full-area scanning robot 100, a modeling module 200, an early warning module 300, and a display module 400.

[0025] Specifically, the global scanning robot 100 is used to scan the global wall thickness data of the target pressure-bearing equipment.

[0026] Among them, pressure-bearing equipment can refer to equipment and containers that bear internal pressure (such as gas or liquid pressure); global wall thickness data can refer to a dense and continuous set of wall thickness measurements obtained after scanning a large area or the entire surface of the equipment.

[0027] In actual implementation, the embodiments of this application can utilize the global scanning robot 100 as a dynamic data acquisition core unit, which can autonomously move on the surface of the pressure-bearing equipment and perform scanning tasks.

[0028] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the global scanning robot 100 includes: a laser scanner, an electromagnetic ultrasonic array sensor, and a magnetic adsorption mobile platform.

[0029] Among them, the laser scanner is used to scan the surrounding environment with a laser to obtain the contour features of the area around the global scanning robot, so as to determine the current position of the global scanning robot 100.

[0030] An electromagnetic ultrasonic array sensor is used to calculate the local wall thickness data corresponding to the current location using electromagnetic ultrasonic waves, so as to obtain the global wall thickness data after the global scanning robot 100 completes the global scanning.

[0031] The magnetic adsorption mobile platform is used to carry electromagnetic ultrasonic array sensors and laser scanners, and to adsorb onto the surface of the target pressure equipment, and move on the surface according to preset detection instructions.

[0032] Among them, the laser scanner measures distance by emitting laser beams and receiving reflected light, serving as the "eyes" of the global scanning robot 100 for simultaneous localization and map building. It determines the robot's precise location (current position) by scanning the contours of the surrounding environment and provides geometric shape data for subsequent 3D modeling.

[0033] Electromagnetic ultrasonic array sensors are the core of non-destructive testing technology. When ultrasonic waves propagate in a material, they are reflected back at interfaces (such as the opposite surface or defects). By calculating the round-trip time of the sound waves, the wall thickness can be accurately measured. Electromagnetic ultrasound can directly generate ultrasonic waves in metallic materials through electromagnetic effects, realizing non-contact (or dry coupling) detection, suitable for automated scanning, and eliminating the need to clean surface coupling agents. Array sensors are composed of multiple ultrasonic crystals arranged in a certain pattern, enabling electronic scanning. They can cover a certain area without moving the sensor itself, greatly improving detection efficiency.

[0034] The magnetic adsorption mobile platform can be attached to the surface of pressure-bearing equipment made of steel (including the top and vertical walls) and move according to preset path instructions, carrying electromagnetic ultrasonic array sensors and laser scanners to complete full-area scanning.

[0035] Among them, when performing full-domain scanning with the robot 100, high-precision point cloud data and full-domain wall thickness data can be obtained.

[0036] High-precision point cloud data can be acquired by a laser scanner mounted on a magnetically adsorbed mobile platform, obtaining the precise geometric shape of the device surface, with a point cloud density of up to 5876 points / m². 2 (e.g., at the bend).

[0037] The global wall thickness data can be synchronously acquired by the 16-channel EMAT ultrasonic array mounted on the global scanning robot 100. Each thickness measurement point carries spatial position information (x_r, y_r, z_r) and thickness value δ in the robot coordinate system.

[0038] The global scanning robot 100 can use a greedy algorithm to achieve a full-coverage trajectory during scanning. The spiral path planning parameters involved may include: (Polar coordinate equation) Constraints: (Overlap rate) The greedy algorithm discretizes the surface to be scanned into a grid map. The global scanning robot 100 evaluates all candidate directions at each decision point and selects the direction that covers the largest unscanned area as the movement path. To achieve seamless data stitching and compensate for positioning errors, a 3.8% overlap rate is set for the path. This parameter has been experimentally verified to ensure 100% coverage while improving scanning efficiency by 36 times. The algorithm's operation flow is as follows: Step S1: Rasterize the scan area; Step S2: Starting from the starting point, generate candidate movement directions; Step S3: Calculate the profit value in each direction. ;in, To cover the new number of grid cells, For steering angle, These are the weighting coefficients.

[0039] Step S4: Select the direction with the highest profit and move accordingly; Step S5, repeat steps S3-S4 until full coverage.

[0040] The electromagnetic ultrasonic array sensor mounted on the global scanning robot 100, used for measuring wall thickness, can sample from a 16-channel EMAT array (5MHz center frequency) and a laser scanner (accuracy ±0.1mm). The sensor measurement model is as follows: Ultrasonic array: f EMAT =5MHz.

[0041] LiDAR: X min =0.1mm.

[0042] In this system equation, the material property M=Inconel718 is used as a constant parameter.

[0043] To ensure uninterrupted scanning by the full-area scanning robot 100, its outer shell can be made of Inconel 718 alloy (350℃ operating condition). This ensures that the full-area scanning robot 100 can operate stably at 350℃. The Inconel 718 shell acts as a high-temperature protective cover, creating a normal working environment for the interior, which is the basis for realizing online detection and avoiding long-term downtime.

[0044] Modeling module 200 is used to construct a three-dimensional model of the target pressure-bearing equipment based on global wall thickness data.

[0045] The modeling module 200 can combine the massive, discrete wall thickness data points collected by the full-domain scanning robot 100 with the geometric shape of the equipment to construct a three-dimensional digital model with wall thickness attributes.

[0046] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the modeling module 200 is further configured to perform non-uniform rational B-spline surface reconstruction using wall thickness data, wherein the reconstruction expression is: , The meaning of the above parameters may include: The parametric coordinates on the surface are The position (3D coordinates) of the point; Represents surface parameters, typically taken from... , used to locate a point on a curved surface; Indicates the control point grid in and Maximum index in direction (number of control points) ); Indicates the first i 1, number of times p The B-spline basis functions in the parameters u The value at; Indicates the first j 1, number of times q The B-spline basis functions in the parameters v The value at; Represents the first control point in the grid. The coordinates of each control point (usually a 3D point, which can be bound to a thickness value).

[0047] Wherein, basis functions : Composed of node vectors and exponents The decision is used to determine the impact of weighted control points; control points To form the "skeleton" of the surface, the shape of the surface can be changed by adjusting the control points; number of iterations The polynomial degree of the B-spline basis function is indicated; the higher the degree, the smoother the surface. Non-uniform means that the node spacing in the node vector can be non-uniform, which is suitable for complex geometric shapes. Rational means that if the control points are weighted, it is called a rational B-spline (NURBS), which can accurately represent conic sections, etc.

[0048] In the embodiments of this application: control point It also binds real-time thickness values ​​for color mapping in 3D visualization.

[0049] The 3D dynamic modeling process in this embodiment is not a simple offline reconstruction, but a continuously updated dynamic process based on data fusion of "mobile scanning + fixed sensing". Its core lies in utilizing the processing power of an edge computing gateway to unify multi-source heterogeneous data in the same 3D space and generate a lightweight digital twin model that can be bound to real-time monitoring data. The entire process includes the following steps: Step S1: Multi-source data collection and uploading.

[0050] Step S2, edge-side data fusion and registration (executed in the edge computing gateway) to preprocess the data to facilitate the construction of an accurate 3D model.

[0051] Coordinate System 1 (Point Cloud-Thickness Data Registration): Point cloud coordinates P collected by the robot cloud Coordinates of thickness measurement point P thickness Although data is acquired synchronously, it is in different sensor coordinate systems. The edge computing gateway uses the ICP (Iterative Closest Point) algorithm to solve for the optimal rotation matrix R and translation vector t, minimizing the following objective function: .

[0052] in, Belongs to P thickness , It is P cloud The nearest point in the model is determined. Through iterative calculation, all thickness measurement points are precisely mapped onto a high-precision point cloud model, achieving accurate binding between "thickness value" and "spatial location".

[0053] Fusion with fixed sensor data: The installation location of the fixed sensor is known on the device (it can be imported from CAD drawings or marked in the initial scan). The gateway associates the sensor's time-series data δs(t) with its fixed location node in the 3D model, assigning dynamically changing attributes to that node.

[0054] Step S3, NURBS surface reconstruction and lightweighting (performed in the edge computing gateway).

[0055] To facilitate network transmission and real-time rendering on the web, massive point cloud data needs to be converted into lightweight surface models.

[0056] This application embodiment can use the Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) method to perform surface fitting on the registered point cloud (with thickness values ​​already bound) for surface reconstruction. Its expression is: .

[0057] Among them, control points It not only includes three-dimensional coordinate information but also thickness attributes. This means that the reconstructed surface model has an inherently unified geometry and wall thickness.

[0058] The embodiments of this application can convert the reconstructed NURBS surface model into a Web-friendly 3D format such as glTF or Draco compression format, which greatly reduces the amount of model data, achieves model lightweighting, and lays the foundation for real-time visualization.

[0059] Step S4, Cloud Dynamic Rendering and Update (executed in the cloud early warning platform).

[0060] The lightweight model is uploaded to the cloud-based early warning platform for final dynamic presentation.

[0061] The cloud-based early warning platform can load and display the device's 3D model using a WebGL-based 3D rendering engine (such as Three.js). The platform can receive real-time data streams from edge gateways and fixed sensors. Based on pre-defined rules, the model surface is dynamically colored.

[0062] Step S5: Visual interaction and early warning.

[0063] Users can freely rotate, scale, and section the 3D model on the platform interface. For example, by hovering the mouse over any location, users can view the real-time thickness value, historical variation curve, and predicted remaining lifespan of that point.

[0064] After receiving the aforementioned warning signals, the cloud-based early warning platform drives the dynamic rendering of the 3D model, mapping different equipment status signals to different color indicators (e.g., safe - green, warning - yellow, danger - red and flashing). This visualization method allows operators to intuitively and quickly perceive and understand the spatial distribution differences and degradation trends of equipment wall thickness, significantly improving monitoring efficiency and serving as a key human-computer interaction element in achieving the technical effect of "3D visualization early warning." When the system determines that the thinning of a certain area exceeds the limit based on the corrosion rate model, that area will be highlighted in red and flashing on the 3D model, and the platform will simultaneously trigger multi-level alarm mechanisms such as sound and light, SMS, and work orders.

[0065] Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, the wall thickness ratio ratio = δ can be calculated by an edge computing gateway based on real-time monitoring data and the wall thickness designed for the device. current / δ design Based on the following technical criteria, it automatically generates equipment status warning signals of different levels: When ratio ≥ 0.9, a safe operating status signal is generated; When 0.7 ≤ ratio < 0.9, an early warning monitoring status signal is generated; When ratio < 0.7, a danger alarm status signal is generated and the system's automatic alarm mechanism is triggered.

[0066] After each periodic scan, updated model differential data is generated. The platform only updates the changed areas, enabling model version iteration. Sensor data is pushed to the platform at a higher frequency (e.g., every minute), driving real-time changes in the color of the corresponding nodes, as if the data is "breathing" on the 3D model, intuitively displaying the corrosion process.

[0067] The early warning module 300 is used to track the data change of global wall thickness data, calculate the wall thickness change rate of the target pressure-bearing equipment based on the data change, and match the corresponding early warning action according to the wall thickness change rate.

[0068] The early warning module 300 can analyze data trends and provide predictive early warnings. It calculates the wall thickness change rate through the wall thickness degradation rate model and provides corresponding early warnings.

[0069] The wall thickness degradation rate model can be:

[0070] in, ρ For the density of the medium, V For flow rate, k This is a material constant (calibrated through corrosion testing).

[0071] Display module 400 is used to optimize the rendering effect of the 3D model based on the early warning action, so as to highlight the area of ​​the target pressure equipment that does not meet the preset wall thickness conditions.

[0072] The display module 400, serving as an interactive module, can intuitively present the analysis results and enable rapid location of abnormal areas. Through color mapping (e.g., green for safety, yellow for warning, and red for danger), operators can instantly identify problem areas on complex equipment models, significantly shortening analysis time and preventing omissions.

[0073] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the pressure equipment full-area wall thickness detection system 10 further includes: a static acquisition module and a transmission module.

[0074] Among them, multiple static acquisition modules are set at the target detection points of the target pressure-bearing equipment to collect static wall thickness data of the target detection points at preset intervals.

[0075] The transmission module is used to transmit static wall thickness data and the corresponding target detection point location data to the early warning module.

[0076] In addition to dynamic data acquisition, this application embodiment can also achieve static data acquisition by setting a static acquisition module, such as an implantable MEMS sensor. The structure of the implantable MEMS sensor can be as shown in Table 1.

[0077] Table 1

[0078] During static data acquisition, fixed-point time-series thickness data can be collected by an embedded MEMS sensor array. Long-term thickness data δs(t) at specific key points are provided for calculating corrosion rates. Environmental data, including temperature, can be monitored simultaneously by sensors for compensation. The data stream can then be wirelessly transmitted via LoRa to an edge computing gateway in the field.

[0079] The embodiments of this application can install fixed sensors at some key or high-risk locations for long-term uninterrupted monitoring. By combining with the global scanning robot 100, a three-dimensional monitoring network of global periodic inspection and fixed-point continuous monitoring is formed.

[0080] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the early warning module 300 includes: an acquisition unit, a first calculation unit, a correction unit, and a second calculation unit.

[0081] The acquisition unit is used to acquire the measured temperature and preset reference temperature of the target pressure equipment.

[0082] The first calculation unit is used to calculate the temperature difference between the measured temperature and the preset reference temperature.

[0083] The correction unit is used to input global wall thickness data, static wall thickness data and temperature difference into a pre-built temperature compensation model to obtain temperature-corrected global wall thickness correction data and static wall thickness correction data.

[0084] The second calculation unit is used to calculate the wall thickness change rate using global wall thickness correction data and static wall thickness correction data.

[0085] Furthermore, based on the data collected by the global scanning robot 100 and the static acquisition module, this embodiment of the application can use a temperature compensation model to correct the data in order to obtain more accurate wall thickness data.

[0086] The temperature compensation model can be:

[0087] in, =2.3 10 5 (Temperature coefficient of 316L steel) = -25℃.

[0088] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, the pressure equipment full-area wall thickness detection system 10 further includes: a judgment module, an enhancement module, and an alarm module.

[0089] The judgment module is used to determine whether the target pressure equipment is in a preset corrosive environment based on the gas environment data of the target pressure equipment.

[0090] The enhancement module is used to predict the wall thickness risk of target pressure equipment under preset corrosive environments by combining a pre-built enhancement degradation model and wall thickness change rate.

[0091] The alarm module is used to execute corresponding alarm actions based on wall thickness risk.

[0092] Among them, the gas environment data is provided by additional gas sensors, which are the chemical composition of the environment around the equipment (such as H2S, CO2 concentration, humidity, etc.), which are key factors leading to corrosion.

[0093] This application embodiment can determine whether the target pressure equipment is in a corrosive environment based on the gas environment. Then, in a corrosive environment, combined with an enhanced degradation model, it can predict the future wall thickness degradation of the equipment in harsh environments. Based on the prediction results, this application embodiment can issue corresponding alarms, such as screen pop-ups, audible and visual alarms, and SMS / email notifications to maintenance personnel.

[0094] Combination Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the working principle of the pressure equipment full-area wall thickness detection system of this application embodiment is described in detail with an example.

[0095] For example, the device parameters in this application embodiment may be: material: SA-210C carbon steel, design wall thickness: 4.5mm, and operating temperature: 280℃.

[0096] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, embodiments of this application may include the following steps: Step S1, scanning stage: In this embodiment, a magnetic adsorption moving platform can be set up, equipped with an electromagnetic ultrasonic array sensor and a laser scanner.

The magnetic adsorption force is ≥150N, and it is equipped with a permanent magnet wheel (0.5mm gap) and a brushless motor (2.5N·m torque). The moving platform path planning uses a greedy algorithm to achieve a full-coverage scanning path with an overlap rate of 3.8%. It is equipped with an inertial navigation unit (302), integrating IMU and visual SLAM technology, with a positioning error ≤0.15mm.

[0097] The implantable MEMS sensor assembly includes a piezoelectric sensing unit and a LoRa / BLE dual-mode wireless transmission module.

[0101] The dynamic rendering rules are as follows: green is displayed when the thickness ratio is ≥0.9; yellow is displayed when the thickness ratio is 0.7≤thickness ratio<0.9; and red is displayed and an alarm is triggered when the thickness ratio is <0.7.

[0102] Step S3: This embodiment of the application can realize dynamic rendering of the 3D model and alarm record management. For example, early warning events: 2025-03-15 14:23: Thinning rate of 0.12mm / month detected; 2025-03-15 14:25: Triggering a level 3 alarm (SMS + pop-up); 2025-03-16 09:10: Inspection confirms actual thinning of 1.8mm. As another example, when v>0.05mm / month, a level 3 alarm mechanism is activated: Level 1 alarm: Platform pop-up warning; Level 2 alarm: SMS notification to the responsible person; Level 3 alarm: Automatic generation of a maintenance work order.

[0103] For nuclear power plant steam generators, the embodiments of this application can collect wall thickness data in both dynamic and static ways, and then correct the measured values ​​based on a compensation model to calculate the wall thickness reduction rate.

[0104] In this embodiment, temperature correction can be performed as shown in Table 3.

[0105] Table 3

[0106] For chemical reactors, the embodiments of this application can use sampling enhancement degradation models to predict wall thickness in corrosive environments.

[0107] In particular, the embodiments of this application can provide corrosion early warning and enhance the corrosion model:

[0108] ( Chloride ion concentration, ppm).

[0109] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application can be configured with explosion-proof structures in chemical application scenarios. During data acquisition, the embodiments of this application can also add a temperature compensation circuit to the sensor group used for data acquisition, so that the accuracy is maintained at ±0.1mm in an environment of 300℃.

[0110] Based on the above process, as shown in Table 4, the embodiments of this application can achieve improved technical performance.

[0112] The resulting economic benefits can be as follows Figure 5 As shown.

[0113] The pressure equipment full-area wall thickness detection system proposed in this application can scan the global wall thickness data of the target pressure equipment using a full-area scanning robot, achieving global scanning and reducing safety hazards caused by spot checks. A modeling module constructs a 3D model of the target pressure equipment based on the global wall thickness data. An early warning module tracks the data changes in the global wall thickness, calculates the wall thickness change rate of the target pressure equipment, and thus confirms the defect location to match the corresponding early warning action. Finally, the rendering effect of the 3D model is optimized based on the early warning action to highlight areas of the target pressure equipment that do not meet the preset wall thickness conditions, achieving defect location and facilitating timely remediation without long-term downtime, thus ensuring economic efficiency. This solves the technical problems in related technologies, such as insufficient detection coverage, delayed response, difficulty in accurately obtaining defect location information when defects are detected, difficulty in timely remediation, significant safety hazards, and poor economic efficiency.

[0114] Next, referring to the accompanying drawings, a pressure equipment full-area wall thickness detection device according to an embodiment of this application is described.

[0116] like Figure 6 As shown, the method for detecting the full-area wall thickness of this pressure-bearing equipment includes the following steps: In step S601, the global wall thickness data of the target pressure-bearing equipment is scanned.

[0117] In step S602, a three-dimensional model of the target pressure-bearing device is constructed based on the global wall thickness data.

[0118] In step S603, the data change amount of the global wall thickness data is tracked, and the wall thickness change rate of the target pressure-bearing equipment is calculated based on the data change amount. The corresponding early warning action is matched according to the wall thickness change rate.

[0119] In step S604, the rendering effect of the three-dimensional model is optimized based on the warning action to highlight the area where the target pressure-bearing equipment does not meet the preset wall thickness condition.

[0120] It should be noted that the foregoing explanation of the embodiment of the pressure equipment full-area wall thickness detection system also applies to the pressure equipment full-area wall thickness detection method of this embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0121] The pressure equipment full-area wall thickness detection method proposed in this application can scan the global wall thickness data of the target pressure equipment using a full-area scanning robot, achieving global scanning and reducing safety hazards caused by spot checks. A modeling module constructs a 3D model of the target pressure equipment based on the global wall thickness data. An early warning module tracks the data changes in the global wall thickness, calculates the wall thickness change rate of the target pressure equipment, and thus confirms the defect location to match the corresponding early warning action. Finally, the rendering effect of the 3D model is optimized based on the early warning action to highlight areas of the target pressure equipment that do not meet the preset wall thickness conditions, achieving defect location and facilitating timely remediation without long-term downtime, thus ensuring economic efficiency. This solves the technical problems in related technologies, such as insufficient detection coverage, delayed response, difficulty in accurately obtaining defect location information when defects are detected, difficulty in timely remediation, significant safety hazards, and poor economic efficiency.
