Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a pulse eddy current nondestructive testing technology, which is suitable for nondestructive testing of a reaction tube body of an in-service ultra-high pressure tubular reactor, and particularly relates to a visualized array imaging near-field pulse eddy current scanning device. Background Art

[0002] Ultra-high pressure tubular reactors are key core equipment in my country's million-ton ethylene production units, and are commonly found in LDPE and EVA production units. Since most of my country's ultra-high pressure tubular reactors were put into use, few non-destructive tests have been carried out on the reactor tube (i.e., inner tube) parts. The main reason is that the reactor tube parts are subjected to working pressures of 300MPa and above during in-service operation, and it is not easy to conduct shutdown inspections. In addition, the current Technical Supervision Regulations for Safety of Fixed Pressure Vessels (TSG21-2016) stipulate that ultra-high pressure tubular reactors only need to meet the general principles, materials, design, and manufacturing requirements of the regulations. For ultra-high pressure tubular reactors, especially regular inspections and regular inspections of the reactor tube parts, there are no longer mandatory requirements. Therefore, the reactor tube parts of ultra-high pressure tubular reactors are basically in the regulatory blind spot. Since ultra-high pressure tubular reactors are subjected to ultra-high pressure stresses of more than 100MPa, the inner tube parts of the reactors have undergone self-strengthening treatment to better cope with the harsh environment of ultra-high pressure bearing. However, as the reactor is put into use for a longer time, the self-enhanced stress inside the reaction tube gradually decreases. When the self-enhanced stress drops to zero, the possibility of cracking in the reaction tube will greatly increase. In addition, the raw materials used in the process of producing ethylene in some devices contain acetic acid, which will increase the possibility of local corrosion on the inner wall of the reaction tube during long-term operation. In view of this, it is very important to conduct regular and comprehensive inspections of the reaction tube parts of the ultra-high pressure tubular reactor.

[0003] The commonly used non-destructive testing methods for the inner tube of ultra-high pressure tubular reactors are endoscopic inspection or rotating eddy current testing technology. The above two methods can only detect surface defects of the inner tube, so it is difficult to meet the actual testing needs of most owners.

[0004] Pulsed eddy current testing is a branch of eddy current testing technology, which is different from conventional eddy current testing. Pulsed eddy current testing uses square wave signals as the excitation source, which has very strong penetration for ferromagnetic materials. The rich spectrum information of square wave signals can obtain more defect information, so pulsed eddy current testing technology can distinguish whether the defects of the reaction tube are located on the inner wall or the outer wall.

[0005] In the past, the pulse eddy current detection of the reaction tube of the ultra-high pressure tubular reactor mainly adopted the methods of near-field pulse eddy current and far-field pulse eddy current single probe detection, and the detection probes used were mainly conventional single-function internal penetration probes, which mainly identified defects by signal amplitude identification. Conventional internal penetration probes are generally composed of stainless steel or aluminum alloy shells and built-in detection coils. The inspector first places the detection probe into the reactor tube, and guides the probe to move in the reactor tube by pulling the protective sleeve to scan the structural integrity of the reaction tube. This is likely to cause mechanical damage to the inner wall of the reaction tube, and also easily cause damage to the probe shell, which will further destroy the structure of the coil; in addition, the single-function single-probe detection mode, once a defect is found, needs to add an endoscope to confirm the position repeatedly, which is inefficient. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a visualized array imaging near-field pulsed eddy current scanning device, so that the scanning device can pass through the reaction tube quickly and continuously, greatly reducing the probability of mechanical damage caused by wear and tear of the scanning device shell and the inner tube. At the same time, the use of array pulsed eddy current imaging technology combined with 360° visualization technology effectively makes up for the shortcomings of conventional near-field pulsed eddy current and far-field pulsed eddy current probes, which can greatly improve the sensitivity of defect detection, quickly identify defect locations and achieve defect quantification.

[0008] Furthermore, the supporting wheel is connected to the inner wall of the reaction tube.

[0009] Furthermore, the ladder seats corresponding to the docking ports of the front section and the rear section of the device body are docked by bolts and installed on the outer side surfaces of the two opposite surfaces of the device body.

[0010] Furthermore, the traction protection sleeve is a PU steel wire reinforced hose.

[0011] Furthermore, a line connecting the front and rear corresponding supports on the outer periphery of the device body is parallel to the axis of the device body.

[0012] Furthermore, the receiving coil is composed of a circular frame and a cylindrical magnetic shielding cover shell, and the linear distance between the centers of two adjacent receiving coils is 10-15 mm.

[0013] Furthermore, there are eight receiving coil placement slots, which are evenly distributed on the array coil placement slot plate at the periphery of the excitation coil placement slot.

[0014] Furthermore, the video recording device is spherical in shape, and eight cameras are evenly distributed on the periphery.

[0015] During the detection process of the utility model, the detection personnel can guide the scanning device to move and scan inside the reaction tube by pulling the protective sleeve.
