This invention discloses a double-layer mutually inducted coupled planar
eddy current detection sensor. First, an external excitation source provides
AC power input to the detection coil layer, causing the
LC resonator, composed of the detection coil and a parallel
resonant capacitor, to resonate, generating a
sinusoidal current and forming a primary
magnetic field. When the test piece is in the primary
magnetic field, eddy currents are generated on its surface, creating a mutual
inductance effect with the sensing coil. Changes in lift-off or disturbances in the flow direction of eddy currents at defects lead to changes in the mutual
inductance coefficient, causing a change in the equivalent
inductance of the sensing coil and a change in the resonant frequency. Finally, the resonant frequency is detected and extracted to obtain the detection
signal. Similarly, a set of detection signals is also extracted from the reference coil. By comparing the changes in the signals detected by the reference coil and the detection coil, lift-off and defect signals are separated to obtain defect information.
