Description

The supersonic guide-wave device and method of long range sensing rail flange of rail defective
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of device and method of surveying rail flange of rail defective, relate in particular to a kind of device and method of long range sensing rail flange of rail defective.
Background technology
The countries in the world railway track mainly adopts rail ultrasonic automatic flaw detecting car and hand propelled rail flaw ultrasonic detection dolly to detect at present.The technology of rail flaw ultrasonic detection car is to adopt 0 degree longitudinal wave probe and 37 degree, 45 degree, the equal angular shear wave probe combination of 70 degree that the rail head of rail web of the rail is surveyed, and what adopt technically is the ultrasonic wave detecting method in length and breadth that belongs to bulk wave mode.The circuit rail acts on orbiting end plate through snap-on, metallic gasket and is fixed on the sleeper, and orbiting end plate is very near apart from railway ballast, covers at some remote highway section rail orbiting end plates even by railway ballast and sandy soil.Existing rail flaw ultrasonic detection car can't detect rail flange of rail defective such as flange of rail transversal crack, nuclear wound etc.Therefore, the China railways standard is only required rail head of rail, the web of the rail and the web of the rail is carried out ultrasonography in the flange of rail trigonum of extension downwards, does not do requirement for flange of rail edge, only after the discovery hurt is inspected the road in manual work, carries out manual ultrasonic inspection.Along with deepening continuously of China railways speed and heavy load strategy; The heavy duty rapid constantly increases the impact of rail; The generation of flange of rail transversal crack constantly increases, and rail flange of rail transversal crack has become a key factor that causes rail fracture, causes serious threat to safety of railway traffic.
For many years, to the quick detection of rail flange of rail transversal crack with differentiate never ripe defects detecting technology, how fast and effeciently to find rail flange of rail transversal crack and in time handle, become the main difficult problem of circuit rail flaw ultrasonic detection work.
Different with shear wave with ultrasonic bulk wave such as compressional wave in the solid, supersonic guide-wave is meant one type of elastic wave in certain-length, the waveguide of arbitrary section solid-borne noise, propagating.Supersonic guide-wave has frequency dispersion and two principal features of multi-mode.Frequency dispersion shows that mainly guided wave is with the increase of propagation distance, and echo ripple bag enlarges gradually, the phenomenon that amplitude reduces gradually; Multi-mode refers in acoustic duct, have the ripple of a more than pattern propagating.Supersonic guide-wave in the common and classical elastic solid (Hookean body) has the guided wave in the plate also to become Lamb wave, and the guided wave in the pipe.
The ripple detection technique is different in length and breadth with the ultrasonic body of routine, and ultrasonic guided wave detection technology has a place and excites, and therefore large tracts of land and the advantage of propagating on a large scale are suitable for long apart from fast detecting.The ultrasonic guided wave detection technology application of in the Non-Destructive Testing of sheet material and pipeline, succeeding.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of device and method of long range sensing rail flange of rail defective, thereby the flange of rail that solves present circuit rail can't carry out the problem that quick nondestructive detects.
The present invention realizes like this; It comprises computing machine, data collecting card, detection signal amplifier, AWG, and power amplifier, switch, guided wave array probe is characterized in that computing machine connects data collecting card and AWG; Data collecting card joint detection signal amplifier; AWG connects power amplifier, and power amplifier connects switch, and switch connects guided wave array probe and detection signal amplifier.
The supersonic guide-wave method of long range sensing rail flange of rail defective, method step is:
1) according to rail model and orbiting end plate physical dimension, calculate the group velocity dispersion curve of rail flange of rail beam mode guided wave, confirm that in 50 ~ 80kHz frequency range excitation frequency detects;
2) with selected detection frequency values input computing machine; It is the single audio signal in 3 ~ 7 cycles of selected detection frequency that the computer control AWG produces same centre frequency; After this signal is delivered to the power amplifier amplification; Transfer to the guided wave array probe that is attached thereto by switch again, excitation vertical curve pattern supersonic guide-wave in the rail flange of rail;
3) if zero defect does not then have any defect reflection echo and exists, show that detect and finish, removable guided wave array probe continues the detection of next long distance by array probe position rail flange of rail zero defect in last segment distance (≤20 meters); If defectiveness exists, then receive the defect reflection echoed signal by the guided wave array probe, this signal transfers to the detection signal amplifier through switch, and signal is delivered to data collecting card after amplifying, and send Computer Processing and demonstration;
4) read wherein field wave bag, flaw echo ripple bag through the detection of echoes waveform; Confirm the time interval t between flaw echo and the field wave bag by the crest position; Multiply by the velocity of sound v of vertical beam mode guided wave under selected detection frequency that obtains by dispersion curve, can obtain the distance of defective distance arrays guided wave probe: l=v * t/2.According to the relation curve of flaw echo crest amplitude and artificial defect reflection echo peak value, can obtain the equivalent size of defective.
Technique effect of the present invention is: can be quick and the ultrasonic guide wave flaw detection that carries out rail flange of rail defective of long distance, the equivalent size of defective is accurately judged.
