Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

Example 1:

as shown in fig. 1, the water immersion full-focus detection system in the embodiment of the present invention includes a water tank, a curved surface part to be detected, a linear ultrasonic phased array probe, an ultrasonic phased array detector, and a computer, wherein the computer is installed with ultrasonic detection software. The ultrasonic detection software mainly executes a phased array curved surface full-focusing imaging optimization method for sound field threshold segmentation.

The phased array curved surface full-focusing imaging optimization method for sound field threshold segmentation mainly comprises the following steps:

step (1): determining detection parameters such as probe frequency f, array element number N, array element width d, array element interval p and water layer height h according to the curved surface part material to be detected and curved surface curvature;

step (2): immersing the curved surface part to be detected into water, placing an ultrasonic phased array probe according to the detection parameters, detecting the positions of a convex surface and a concave surface respectively, acquiring full matrix data, sequentially exciting N array elements for the linear ultrasonic phased array probe of the N array elements, and obtaining N multiplied by N array data in total, wherein a signal S is a signal_ijTransmitting signals for the ith array element and receiving signals for the jth array element;

and (3): dividing a detection area into a convex area and a concave area according to the cross section geometric shape of the curved surface part to be detected, and performing array element sound field simulation respectively aiming at the convex and concave geometric parameters and the probe parameters;

and (4): according to a certain proportion (such as 1/8-1/2, the invention prefers 1/4) of the maximum value of the sound field intensity of each array element as a threshold, carrying out threshold segmentation on the imaging area of each array element to generate an effective area coefficient matrix;

and (5): imaging the grid points in the effective area of each array element of the curved surface part to be detected one by one, realizing the full-focusing optimized imaging of the effective area of the array elements and obtaining the full-focusing optimized imaging result of the curved surface of the part;

and (6): and (5) analyzing the sizes and positions of the defects of the convex and concave to-be-detected areas of the curved part to be detected according to the full-focus optimized image of the part obtained in the step (5), and completing detection and imaging of the curved part.

The ultrasonic phased array full focusing algorithm is to combine all transmitting-receiving array elements of full matrix data at the sound pressure amplitude of the focusing point for superposition, and is the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

As a preferred scheme of the invention, in the step (1), the design method of the full-focusing curved surface probe parameters and the detection parameters is as follows:

the phased array probe parameter selection needs to determine the probe frequency f and the array element interval p according to a material to be detected and a detection depth range, a low-frequency probe is adopted for detecting a coarse crystal material and a thick-wall part, and a high-frequency probe is selected for a thin-wall part; for high detection precision, the array element interval p needs to be selected to be smaller.

The invention adopts a complete water immersion type full focus detection method, utilizes the longitudinal wave signal to calculate the focus point amplitude, because the ultrasonic wave has different incident angles on the curved surface interface, when the incident angle is smaller than a first critical angle, the ultrasonic wave can generate refracted longitudinal wave and transverse wave, and when the incident angle is larger than the first critical angle, the ultrasonic wave only generates refracted transverse wave. In order to ensure the detection precision of the full-focusing curved surface and reduce the interference of the transverse waves of invalid array elements, each array element of the phased array probe needs to generate refracted longitudinal waves at a curved surface interface, and the longitudinal waves with enough energy are ensured to be injected into curved surface parts.

Therefore, the parameters and detection parameters of the phased array probe for curved surface full-focus detection need to satisfy the following conditions:

a. in order to ensure that each array element can obtain effective detection signals in the region to be detected, the longitudinal wave emission blind area of each array element in the concave surface needs to be smaller than 1/4 of the region to be detected.

As shown in fig. 2, the method for calculating the longitudinal wave emission blind area of each array element in the concave surface is as follows: suppose the ith array element M_i(x_1i,y_1i) Incident angle at the workpiece interface is alpha_iThe intersection point of the ultrasonic wave transmitted by the ith array element on the interface is Q_i(x_2i,y_2i) Assuming the concave arc equation as:the center coordinate of the concave surface is O_A(0, h-R), straight line Q_iO_ASlope K_1iComprises the following steps:

intersection Q of ith array element center and interface_iThe slope of the equation of the straight line can be obtained by coordinates of two points:

therefore, the incident angle of the ith array element in the curved surface medium is:

the first critical angle of the ultrasonic wave incident from the coupling agent to the concave surface isWhen the incident angle alpha of the ith array element_i＝α₁Substituting the equation above yields the interface intersection Q_i(x_2i,y_2i) Coordinates, so that the detection blind area of the array element in the concave surface is Q in figure 2_iThe area to the right of the point requires 1/4 which is smaller than the area to be measured.

b. In order to ensure that each array element effectively injects sound wave energy into the curved surface, the maximum sound beam diffusion angle of longitudinal wave incidence of each array element needs to be smaller than a half diffusion angle, and the half diffusion angle in the array direction of the array elements is as follows:

wherein lambda is the wavelength of the ultrasonic wave and d is the width of the array element. When the incident angle of the ith array element on the curved surface interface is a first critical angle, the sound beam spread angle of the array element is as follows:

when the acoustic beam spread angle of the array element is larger than the half spread angle gamma₀The energy of the sound wave is greatly reduced, so that gamma is required_i<γ₀。

c. Because the convex surface detection has no emission blind area, the width (N-1) p of the probe array used for the convex surface detection is only required to be larger than the width range of the region to be detected.

As a preferred scheme of the present invention, in step (3), the curved surface array element sound field simulation method is as follows:

in the existing literature, a sound field simulation method of an ultrasonic transducer in a plane medium is given, but a sound field calculation method of a curved medium is not given yet. The invention deduces a calculation method of a linear array element curved surface sound field according to a double-medium plane line source piston integral model and an interface ray theory. As shown in fig. 3, according to the acoustic theory, a double-medium plane line source model sound pressure calculation formula can be obtained:

wherein v is₀(ω) is the average velocity of the spatial distribution of the array elements along their width, i.e.: -e<x<e, e is the width of the array element, delta is the included angle between the mass point and the central axis of the transducer,k is the wave number, p₁Is the density of the medium, c₁Is sound in waterVelocity, r, is the mass point to the transducer center point (x)₀Distance of 0), T_pIs the plane wave interface transmission coefficient calculated based on the pressure ratio. L is_1iFor transmitting the propagation path of the acoustic wave in the first medium for the array element, L_2iIs the path of the sound wave in the second medium. According to the interface ray theory, the ith array element transmits ultrasonic waves at a refraction point F of a second medium_iThe sound pressure of can be regarded as a virtual sound source M_iIs propagated in a straight line to F_iPoint, the distance from the virtual sound source to the incident point is:

wherein alpha is_iIs the angle of incidence of the acoustic interface, beta_iIs the acoustic interface refraction angle; assuming that the curved surface y is f (x) at Q_iThe slope of the tangent line of the point is y '═ f' (x)_2i) Wherein Q is_i(x_2i,y_2i) The coordinates of (a) can be obtained by the Fermat principle, and then the incident angle of the ith array element in the curved surface medium is as follows:

wherein, K_1iIs the interface intersection point is Q_iThe slope of the normal line at (a),K_2iis the intersection Q of the ith array element center and the interface_iThe slope of the equation of the straight line where the line is located,angle of refraction can be determined from snell's lawSubstituting into equation (7) to obtain distance L_1i' and substituting the equation (6) to obtain the calculated sound pressure value of the line source model in the curved surface.

As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the step (4), the method for determining the effective imaging area inside the curved surface by using array element sound field threshold segmentation is as follows:

through the simulation calculation of the curved surface full focusing sound field, the sound pressure distribution and the sound wave energy concentration area of each array element in the curved surface can be determined. Through setting up reasonable threshold value, can screen each array element and carry out the full focus imaging operation in the effective area that the curved surface internal energy is stronger, when guaranteeing the imaging quality, can avoid the clutter interference in each array element invalid area, improve full focus imaging operation efficiency. Determining the threshold of the sound field of the effective area according to the conventional ultrasonic defect detection quantitative method, and adopting a-12 dB method to take 1/4 of the maximum value of the sound field intensity of all array elements as the threshold, namely

And dividing the sound field area of each array element according to a threshold value to generate an effective area coefficient matrix, carrying out amplitude superposition on the focus point in the effective area according to a full focus algorithm, and defining the amplitude of the focus point outside the effective area as 0. The traditional full-focusing imaging method is to combine all transmitting-receiving array elements at the focus points in the imaging area to sequentially perform the superposition of sound pressure amplitude, namely the superposition amplitude of a certain focus point is as follows:

in the formula, t_ij(x, y) is an array element M_i(x_1i0) transmitting ultrasonic wave to a focus point F (x, y), and then transmitting the ultrasonic wave to an array element M_j(x_1jAnd 0) propagation time of the received ultrasonic wave. Therefore, the full-focus imaging algorithm after the effective area optimization is as follows:

in the formula, C_i(x, y) is a coefficient matrix of the effective area, generated by the sound field simulation result and threshold value screening, wherein the focusing point system in the threshold value rangeThe number is defined as 1 and the invalid region coefficient outside the threshold range is defined as 0.

and (5): amplitude superposition calculation is performed on the focus points in the effective area by each array element, and an effective area optimized full-focus imaging result is obtained, as shown in fig. 8.

And (6): analyzing the full-focus imaging optimization result, detecting all defects, greatly improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the defect image, and calculating the signal-to-noise ratio of each defect image to obtain that the signal-to-noise ratio of the convex defect is improved to 48.43dB from 40.05dB relative to the original imaging result; compared with the original imaging result, the signal-to-noise ratio of the concave surface 0.5mm defect is improved to 22.9dB from 10.1dB, the imaging signal-to-noise ratio of the concave surface 1.0mm defect is improved to 40.78dB from 26.41dB, and the imaging signal-to-noise ratio of the concave surface 1.5mm defect is improved to 34.16dB from 19.12 dB.

By comparing the original result of the full-focusing imaging with the optimized result of the effective area imaging, the noise spots of the optimized image are obviously reduced, and the defect amplitude is almost unchanged.
