Description

Technical Field

[0002] The basic idea of ​​phased ultrasonic testing comes from radar electromagnetic wave phased array technology. Phased array radar is composed of many radiating units arranged in an array. By controlling the amplitude and phase of each unit in the array antenna, the radiation direction of the electromagnetic wave is adjusted to synthesize a flexible and fast focused scanning radar beam within a certain spatial range. The detection principle of the phased ultrasonic testing device is basically the same.

[0003] In the implementation, it is necessary to perform ultrasonic testing on the pipeline to understand whether there are crack defects in the pipeline. There are at least the following problems in the detection process: when the existing phased array ultrasonic detection device detects pipeline cracks, it needs to be driven to move along the axial direction of the pipeline, and the forward direction of the device can only be controlled manually, which is prone to large swings, thereby affecting the detection results.
