The invention discloses a crane steel
wire rope flaw detection device and a flaw detection method, and belongs to the technical field of nondestructive flaw detection. The device comprises a
magnetic memory flaw detection module and a wheel type
rope climbing
robot device for driving the
magnetic memory flaw detection module to move along a crane steel
wire rope, the
magnetic memory flaw detection module comprises a hollow flaw detection shell, the flaw detection shell is longitudinally provided with a central through hole for a crane steel
wire rope to penetrate through, and a plurality of giant
magneto-impedance effect magnetic sensors are evenly arranged in the flaw detection shell in the circumferential direction of the central through hole. Therefore, a
sensor array used for detecting the leakage
magnetic field intensity of the crane steel wire
rope is formed, and the giant
magneto-impedance effect magnetic sensors are arranged in a coplanar mode. The device is mainly based on the giant
magneto-impedance effect magnetic sensor and the
metal magnetic memory principle, extremely weak magnetic
nondestructive testing is conducted on the crane steel wire
rope, and the device is convenient to use, high in detection precision, simple in structure and suitable for various steel wire rope detection environments.
