This invention discloses a
laser phased array ultrasonic composite detection
system and method for internal interface defects in GIS insulator
metal inserts. The
system includes a
pulsed laser, an ultrasonic array probe, a control computer equipped with ultrasonic
signal acquisition and
processing software, and a two-dimensional
laser scanning
galvanometer. The detection method utilizes a
pulsed laser to generate ultrasonic
waves on the
metal insert side. When the ultrasonic
waves propagate to the interface, they are differentiated by the physical mechanism that internal defects completely reflect the ultrasonic
waves, while defect-free areas allow ultrasonic waves to pass through. The ultrasonic array probe acquires the ultrasonic
signal at the inner wall surface. The computer-controlled two-dimensional
laser scanning
galvanometer rapidly scans the entire interface of the
epoxy resin-
metal insert to obtain
full matrix data. After the overall scan is completed, the corresponding ultrasonic array probe element is selected, and the computer, with a fixed rotation angle, uses a full-focusing
algorithm to perform high-resolution imaging of the interface, thus detecting internal interface defects. This invention reduces the cost of detection equipment while improving the evaluation efficiency of internal defects in the
epoxy resin-
metal insert interface of GIS insulators.
