Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a thermal excitation device, belonging to the technical field of nondestructive testing. Background Art

[0002] Infrared nondestructive testing technology refers to the technology that uses the principle that substances emit infrared light when thermally excited and that materials with internal defects have different infrared characteristics compared to the defect-free state. Without damaging or affecting the service performance of the object to be detected, it can detect whether there are defects or non-uniformities in the object to be detected and give information such as the size, location, nature, and quantity of the defects. Currently, there are various means to heat the object to be measured, such as optoelectronic heating, eddy current heating, laser ultrasonic heating, etc. Optoelectronic heating, that is, the heating method using elements with high photothermal conversion efficiency such as halogen lamps, has the advantages of high reliability, stable thermal excitation, and low cost.

[0003] Detection equipment using halogen lamps as the heating means has been widely used in the material defect detection work of various industries. However, in the field of infrared scanning, due to the poor heat concentration of the lamp tube type excitation source, it has a great limitation on the scanning effect. For example, traditional infrared nondestructive testing uses LEDs or halogen lamps as the excitation source, conducts infrared excitation to the material surface, and uses the difference in thermal conductivity caused by different internal structures of the material to extract and identify defect features. For example: the publication number is CN219245419U, and the invention creation name is a small modular halogen lamp heating unit. Although its technical solution has achieved a good cost-effectiveness ratio in terms of lightweight and modularity, there are certain defects in the excitation quality, excitation width adjustment, and increase or decrease of excitation power. During the scanning process, the surface temperature change of the scanned area of the excited area is collected by an infrared camera, saved and sorted out, and the complete scanning result of the large-size structural member is finally obtained through image reconstruction. When the excitation effect of the excitation source is not concentrated, the heat in the defect area is not concentrated, and the defect feature signal is not significant; in addition, when it is necessary to adjust the thermal excitation spot width and excitation power for different types of structures, although the two modular excitation structures can expand the excitation area by means of multiple groups in series, the problem of low reflection efficiency of the reflector of these two excitation units itself has not been solved.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a modular line-scanning thermal excitation device to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Utility Model
