Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of magnetic flux leakage detection technology, and in particular to a magnetic flux leakage probe structure and a detector inside a pipeline. Background Technology

[0002] Magnetic flux leakage (MFL) testing technology is widely used for defect detection in metal pipes due to its high efficiency and reliability. Existing MFL testing technologies generally consist of a magnet and a MFL sensor, with the sensor detecting the magnetic field generated by the magnet. During pipe defect detection, if a defect is present in the pipe, the magnetic field generated by the magnet will change; for example, the magnetic permeability will decrease. However, existing MFL probe structures are not precise or comprehensive enough for detecting pipe defects, and their ability to detect pipes with greater thickness is limited. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a magnetic flux leakage probe structure and an in-pipe detector to address the problems that existing magnetic flux leakage probe structures are not accurate or comprehensive enough in detecting pipeline defects and that their detection capability is limited for pipelines with larger thicknesses.

[0004] A magnetic flux leakage probe structure includes: a support assembly extending along its length; a magnetically conductive assembly disposed on the support assembly and surrounding the support assembly; a magnet assembly disposed on the magnetically conductive assembly and surrounding the support assembly, the magnet assembly being used to generate a magnetic field; and a magnetic flux leakage probe assembly disposed on the support assembly and / or the magnetically conductive assembly, the magnetic flux leakage probe assembly surrounding the support assembly, the magnetic flux leakage probe assembly being used to collect the magnetic field generated by the magnet assembly.

[0005] The first aspect of this application discloses a magnetic flux leakage probe structure. Through the combined design of a magnetically conductive component and a surrounding magnet component, the distribution of the magnetic field circumferentially in the pipe is enhanced, improving the detection coverage of defects. This design effectively increases the magnetic field coverage, enabling 360-degree detection of the pipe without blind spots, achieving comprehensive and accurate detection of pipe defects. Its detection capability is not significantly limited even when inspecting pipes with greater thickness. The magnetically conductive component facilitates magnetic field diffusion, optimizing diffusion efficiency and ensuring effective penetration of the pipe wall while reducing magnetic signal attenuation. The magnetic flux leakage probe component collects the magnetic field signal generated by the magnet, processes it through a series of signal steps such as amplification and filtering, and then transmits it to a computer for subsequent analysis, thereby enabling the identification and analysis of defects within the tested pipe. For example, a decrease in magnetic permeability indicates a defect at the corresponding location in the pipe. The supporting component integrates the magnetically conductive component, magnet component, and probe component, forming a compact surrounding layout, ensuring simultaneous magnetic field signal acquisition and structural stability.

[0006] In one embodiment, there are multiple magnetically conductive components, each disposed on the support component and arranged sequentially along the length of the support component. There are also multiple magnet components, the number of which is the same as the number of magnetically conductive components, and each magnet component is correspondingly disposed on a magnetically conductive component. The arrangement of multiple magnetically conductive and magnet components increases the coverage of the magnetic field along the pipe axis, reduces detection blind spots, and improves the ability to identify long-distance defects, effectively enhancing defect detection performance. The collaborative work of multiple sets of magnet and magnetically conductive components improves the density and continuity of magnetic field signal acquisition, providing more complete data for defect localization.

[0007] In one embodiment, the magnetic flux leakage probe assembly is located among the plurality of magnet assemblies. By positioning the magnetic flux leakage probe assembly among the plurality of magnet assemblies, the magnetic field signal of the superimposed or transitional region between two adjacent magnet assemblies can be directly acquired, improving the magnetic field acquisition effect and facilitating the timely detection of pipeline defects through changes in the magnetic field, resulting in more comprehensive and accurate identification of pipeline defects.

[0008] In one embodiment, multiple magnetically conductive components are arranged opposite to each other. This arrangement improves the uniformity of the circumferential magnetic field around the pipe and reduces blind spots in detection. The opposite arrangement also helps maintain the overall balance of the product, ensuring stability during movement within the pipe.

[0009] In one embodiment, a plurality of the magnetically conductive components are sleeved on the support component. By sleeved on the support component, the magnetically conductive components and the support component form a tight fit, ensuring that the relative positions of each component are fixed during the detection process and avoiding displacement caused by vibration or movement.

[0010] In one embodiment, there are two magnetic conductive components and two magnet components, with each magnet component corresponding to the magnetic conductive component. The magnetic leakage probe component is located between the two magnet components. By positioning the magnetic leakage probe between the two magnets, magnetic signals can be collected more effectively, enhancing the ability to identify pipeline defects.

[0011] In one embodiment, the magnetic flux leakage probe assembly includes multiple magnetic flux leakage probe units, all of which are disposed on the support assembly and spaced circumferentially along the support assembly. Each of the multiple magnetic flux leakage probe units is used to collect the magnetic field generated by the magnet assembly. By arranging multiple magnetic flux leakage probe units circumferentially along the support assembly, such as multiple magnetic flux leakage probes being evenly distributed circumferentially, 360-degree detection of the pipe's inner wall is achieved, avoiding missed detections and making the detection more comprehensive and accurate. This design increases the density of circumferential magnetic flux leakage probe units, allowing for the acquisition of finer magnetic field distribution data and improving the ability to identify small-sized defects. Moreover, the collaborative operation of multiple probe units ensures that basic detection functions are maintained even if a single unit fails, enhancing system reliability.

[0012] In one embodiment, the magnetic flux leakage probe unit includes a support structure, a triaxial Hall sensor, an eddy current sensor, and a microcontroller. The support structure is mounted on the support assembly, and the triaxial Hall sensor, eddy current sensor, and microcontroller are all mounted on the support structure. Both the triaxial Hall sensor and the eddy current sensor are electrically connected to the microcontroller. Through the coordinated operation of the triaxial Hall sensor and the eddy current sensor, magnetic field strength and eddy current signals are simultaneously acquired, enabling a multi-dimensional comprehensive judgment of pipeline defects. The electrical connection between the triaxial Hall sensor and the eddy current sensor and the microcontroller enables real-time signal processing and transmission, resulting in a fast response speed. A single microcontroller can acquire and transmit data from multiple Hall sensor chips.

[0013] In one embodiment, the number of triaxial Hall sensors is 4-8, all of which are electrically connected to the microcontroller. By using 4-8 triaxial Hall sensors, each electrically connected to the microcontroller, one microcontroller can collect and transmit data from 4-8 Hall sensor chips. Furthermore, using multiple triaxial Hall sensors effectively improves the ability to collect magnetic fields, making the detection of pipeline defects more comprehensive and accurate.

[0014] In one embodiment, the support structure includes a support base, a first support block, a second support block, an elastic element, and a support housing. The support base is disposed on the support assembly. The first and second support blocks are both disposed on the support base and are rotatable relative to the support base. The first and second support blocks are arranged adjacent to each other. The two ends of the elastic element are respectively connected to the first and second support blocks. The support housing is disposed on the first and / or second support blocks. The triaxial Hall sensor, the eddy current sensor, and the microcontroller are all disposed on the support housing. The first and second support blocks provide stable support for the support housing. The sensor and microcontroller are centrally mounted in the support housing, forming a compact functional unit that facilitates maintenance and replacement. The first and second support blocks can rotate relative to the support base, thus adapting to the inspection of pipes of different sizes.

[0015] In one embodiment, the magnet assembly includes multiple magnet units, each disposed on the magnetically conductive assembly. The multiple magnet units are spaced circumferentially along the magnetically conductive assembly and surround the support assembly. By arranging multiple magnet units circumferentially along the magnetically conductive assembly, the magnetic field coverage becomes more comprehensive, resulting in more complete and accurate detection of pipeline defects.

[0016] In one embodiment, the magnetically conductive assembly includes a first support plate, a second support plate, and a magnetically conductive brush. The first support plate is disposed on the support assembly, and the magnet assembly is disposed on the first support plate and / or the second support plate, with the magnet assembly located between the first and second support plates. The magnetically conductive brush is disposed on the second support plate. The magnet assembly's location between the first and second support plates improves its stability and reliability. The magnetically conductive brush facilitates magnetic circuit transmission, which is beneficial for detecting pipeline defects.

[0017] In one embodiment, a hub assembly is further included, disposed on the support assembly and adjacent to the magnetic flux leakage probe assembly. The magnetic flux leakage probe assembly includes multiple magnetic flux leakage probe units, all disposed on the support assembly, and each probe unit is electrically connected to the hub assembly. The hub assembly allows the wires of multiple probe units to be integrated, avoiding wiring clutter. This design enables the magnetic flux leakage probe assembly to detect magnetic flux leakage signals and transmit them through the hub assembly, improving data transmission efficiency.

[0018] In one embodiment, the hub assembly includes multiple hub modules, each disposed on the support assembly and spaced circumferentially along the support assembly. Each hub module is electrically connected to one or more magnetic flux leakage probe units. By distributing multiple hub modules circumferentially along the support assembly, the wires of one or more magnetic flux leakage probe units can be integrated and managed separately, avoiding wiring chaos and improving the maintainability of the overall structure. Furthermore, the arrangement of multiple hub modules ensures that even if a single module fails, the remaining modules can still maintain some detection functionality, improving system reliability.

[0019] In one embodiment, the magnetic flux leakage probe unit includes a microcontroller electrically connected to the hub assembly. Through this connection, the sensor data acquired by the microcontroller can be promptly transmitted to the hub assembly and then from there to other components such as circuit boards.

[0020] In one embodiment, a circuit board is also included, which is electrically connected to the hub assembly. This electrical connection between the circuit board and the hub assembly allows data collected by the hub assembly to be promptly transmitted to the circuit board for further processing and transmission.

[0021] A pipe detector includes the above-described magnetic flux leakage probe structure.

[0022] The second aspect of this application discloses an in-pipe detector that enhances the distribution of the magnetic field circumferentially in the pipe through the combined design of a magnetically conductive component and a surrounding magnet component, thereby improving the detection coverage of defects. This design effectively improves the magnetic field coverage, enabling 360-degree detection of the pipe without blind spots, achieving comprehensive and accurate detection of pipe defects. By incorporating the aforementioned magnetic leakage probe structure, it fully inherits all the functions of magnetic field generation, magnetic field signal acquisition, and pipe defect identification.

Its detection capability is not significantly limited even when inspecting pipes with greater thickness. The placement of the magnetic conductive component 2 facilitates magnetic field diffusion, optimizes magnetic field diffusion efficiency, ensures effective penetration of the pipe wall, and reduces magnetic signal attenuation. The placement of the magnetic flux leakage probe component 4 allows for the acquisition of the magnetic field signal generated by the magnet. After a series of signal processing steps, such as amplification and filtering, the signal is transmitted to a computer for subsequent analysis, thereby enabling the identification and analysis of defects within the tested pipe. For example, a decrease in the magnetic permeability of the magnetic field can indicate a defect at the corresponding location in the pipe. The supporting component 1 integrates the magnetic conductive component 2, the magnet component 3, and the probe component, forming a compact surrounding layout, ensuring that magnetic field signal acquisition and structural stability are achieved simultaneously.
