Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional stress-based crack detection methods are used, then the detection process is simple, but the detection accuracy is low and efficiency is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The detection process is divided into four independent detection modules: frequency amplitude detection, fall-of-potential detection, free mode detection, and pressure mode detection. Each module targets specific detection objectives, allowing parallel processing and improving overall efficiency while maintaining comprehensive detection accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The detection device integrates multiple detection functions into a single system that can perform frequency amplitude detection, fall-of-potential detection, free mode detection, and pressure mode detection. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate detection equipment and improves both accuracy and efficiency.
2Measurement precision
If fall-of-potential method is used alone, then the detection process is simple, but large errors occur due to closed crack state
Solution Approach 1:
The detection process is divided into four independent detection modules: frequency amplitude detection, fall-of-potential detection, free mode detection, and pressure mode detection. Each module targets specific detection objectives, allowing parallel processing and improving overall efficiency while maintaining comprehensive detection accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system detects electrical parameters under varying conditions (stress and vibration) to reveal crack characteristics. By changing the operational state from static to dynamic, the system overcomes the limitation of closed cracks not conducting electricity in the normal state.
3Productivity
If ultrasonic vibration is applied to the cutter, then the cutter performs cutting function, but micro-cracks may extend and cause fracture
Solution Approach 1:
The detection system performs comprehensive inspection before the cutter is put into service. By conducting frequency amplitude detection, fall-of-potential detection, free mode detection, and pressure mode detection in advance, the system identifies potential cracks or defects before they can propagate during actual cutting operations, ensuring reliability while maintaining productivity.

AI summary
An ultrasonic cutter detection method and device, the method comprises the following steps: preliminary detection: frequency amplitude detection and fall-of-potential detection, if the ultrasonic cutter fails the above two detection solutions in the preliminary detection, repeating the two detections; if the ultrasonic cutter still fails the above two detection solutions, the ultrasonic cutter is judged to be unqualified; and reinspection: free modal detection and pressure modal detection. Using differences of the ultrasonic cutters surface in micro-crack directions that result in different degrees of sensitivity of crack to different ultrasonic vibration modes, combined with the fall-of-potential method and frequency amplitude detection method, a detection rate and a detection velocity of an unqualified ultrasonic cutter can be improved.
