Description

一种基于聚磁桥路的钢管壁厚电磁超声测量装置An electromagnetic and ultrasonic measuring device for steel pipe wall thickness based on a magnetic bridge circuit

技术领域technical field

本发明属于电磁超声测厚技术领域,更具体地,涉及一种基于聚磁桥路的钢管壁厚电磁超声测量装置。The invention belongs to the technical field of electromagnetic ultrasonic thickness measurement, and more particularly relates to an electromagnetic ultrasonic measurement device for steel pipe wall thickness based on a magnetic gathering bridge.

背景技术Background technique

钢管壁厚是各钢管厂在生产过程中必须检测的重要参数之一。传统的手工测量方法采用卡规或者便携式超声波测厚仪来完成,其存在效率低、人工成本高、误差大等缺陷。为此,国内外一些研究机构开始采用水浸式自动化超声测厚方式,然而耦合剂的使用、测量精度不高以及难于运用于自动测厚和高温实时测厚这些因素,制约了该方法在钢管壁厚测量过程的广泛使用。Steel pipe wall thickness is one of the important parameters that every steel pipe factory must detect in the production process. The traditional manual measurement method is completed by a caliper or a portable ultrasonic thickness gauge, which has defects such as low efficiency, high labor cost, and large error. For this reason, some research institutions at home and abroad have begun to use water immersion automatic ultrasonic thickness measurement. However, the use of coupling agent, low measurement accuracy and difficulty in applying automatic thickness measurement and high temperature real-time thickness measurement restrict the application of this method in steel pipes. Extensive use of wall thickness measurement processes.

近年发展起来的电磁超声测厚方式不需要耦合剂,能够方便实现快速测量。影响电磁超声测厚探头性能的一个主要环节是探头检测线圈正下方待测工件趋肤层内的法向磁场强度,该磁场越强回波信号越稳定、测量的可靠性和精度越高。国内外一直采用永久磁铁提供这一磁场,因不容易断磁,吸力大,探头磨损快,且工作一段时间后吸附大量的铁屑难以清理,因此会影响测量精度;另一方面,由于永久磁铁的磁力有限,强力磁化场的提供受到制约。针对以上技术问题,CN101706266A中公开了一种用于电磁超声换能器的脉冲电磁铁,其中采用脉冲电磁铁建立强磁场,然而,其在自动化连续测量中仍然难以获得稳定的信号,相应直接影响到测量精度,尤其在高速测量环境下。因此,对于钢管在线快速自动测厚过程如何提供稳恒的强磁场,对电磁超声测厚原理的实施尤为重要。The electromagnetic ultrasonic thickness measurement method developed in recent years does not require couplant and can facilitate rapid measurement. One of the main links affecting the performance of the electromagnetic ultrasonic thickness measuring probe is the normal magnetic field strength in the skin layer of the workpiece to be measured directly under the probe detection coil. The stronger the magnetic field, the more stable the echo signal, and the higher the reliability and accuracy of the measurement. Permanent magnets have been used at home and abroad to provide this magnetic field. Because it is not easy to break the magnetism, the suction force is large, the probe wears quickly, and after a period of work, a large amount of iron filings are absorbed and difficult to clean, which will affect the measurement accuracy; on the other hand, due to the permanent magnet The magnetic force is limited, and the provision of a strong magnetizing field is restricted. Aiming at the above technical problems, CN101706266A discloses a pulsed electromagnet for electromagnetic ultrasonic transducers, wherein a pulsed electromagnet is used to establish a strong magnetic field, however, it is still difficult to obtain a stable signal in automated continuous measurement, which directly affects the To the measurement accuracy, especially in the high-speed measurement environment. Therefore, it is particularly important to implement the principle of electromagnetic ultrasonic thickness measurement for how to provide a stable and constant strong magnetic field during the online rapid and automatic thickness measurement process of steel pipes.

具体实施方式Detailed ways

为了使本发明的目的、技术方案及优点更加清楚明白,以下结合附图及实施例,对本发明进行进一步详细说明。应当理解,此处所描述的具体实施例仅仅用以解释本发明,并不用于限定本发明。此外,下面所描述的本发明各个实施方式中所涉及到的技术特征只要彼此之间未构成冲突就可以相互组合。In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, not to limit the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not constitute a conflict with each other.

图1是按照本发明一种构造形式的钢管壁厚电磁超声测量装置的结构示意图。如图1中所示,按照本发明的钢管壁厚电磁超声测量装置主要包括穿过式磁化线圈1、导磁元件2、聚磁元件3以及电磁超声检测线圈4。穿过式磁化线圈1与待检测钢管6同心地布置并将钢管套设其中,当通以直流电时即对钢管产生沿其轴向分布的较强磁场。由于磁场总是聚集在磁阻最小的路径上,因此可以考虑通过设置导磁元件2和聚磁元件3来共同形成封闭的磁桥回路。在本实施方式中,导磁元件2呈板状结构对称设置在穿过式磁化线圈1的两个外侧,用于使该磁化线圈所产生的磁场改变方向以沿着待检测钢管6的法线方向分布;聚磁元件3譬如呈上端截面积大、下端截面积小的臂状结构并分别设置在各个导磁元件2上,其下端贴近待检测钢管6的外表面并保持例如不小于3mm的间隙。这样,由高导磁材料制成的导磁元件2和聚磁元件3可以将分散到周围空气中的磁场进行收集,并连同钢管一起形成如图1所示封闭的磁桥回路,并且在聚磁元件下端端面与钢管外表面之间形成沿着钢管径向分布的法向聚集稳恒强磁场。Fig. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of an electromagnetic ultrasonic measuring device for steel pipe wall thickness according to a construction form of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the electromagnetic ultrasonic measuring device for steel pipe wall thickness according to the present invention mainly includes a through-type magnetizing coil 1 , a magnetic conducting element 2 , a magnetic collecting element 3 and an electromagnetic ultrasonic detection coil 4 . The penetrating magnetizing coil 1 is arranged concentrically with the steel pipe 6 to be detected and the steel pipe is sheathed therein. When a direct current is applied to the steel pipe, a strong magnetic field distributed along its axial direction is generated. Since the magnetic field always gathers on the path with the least reluctance, it can be considered to form a closed magnetic bridge circuit by setting the magnetic conducting element 2 and the magnetic concentrating element 3 together. In this embodiment, the magnetic permeable element 2 is symmetrically arranged on the two outer sides of the penetrating magnetizing coil 1 in a plate-like structure, and is used to change the direction of the magnetic field generated by the magnetizing coil so as to follow the normal line of the steel pipe 6 to be detected. direction distribution; the magnetic gathering element 3 is, for example, an arm-shaped structure with a large upper end cross-sectional area and a small lower end cross-sectional area and is respectively arranged on each magnetic conduction element 2, and its lower end is close to the outer surface of the steel pipe 6 to be detected and maintained for example not less than 3mm gap. In this way, the magnetic conduction element 2 and the magnetic concentration element 3 made of high magnetic permeability material can collect the magnetic field scattered into the surrounding air, and form a closed magnetic bridge circuit together with the steel pipe as shown in Figure 1, and in the concentration Between the lower end face of the magnetic element and the outer surface of the steel pipe, a normal concentrated magnetic field of constant intensity distributed along the radial direction of the steel pipe is formed.

电磁超声检测线圈4安装在聚磁元件3的下端与待检测钢管6外表面之间的间隙中,并在通以高频电流时利用该处的稳恒强磁场,在待检测钢管6的趋肤层产生感应涡流并在聚集磁场环境下激发剪切式横波,由此实现对钢管壁厚的电磁超声测量功能。The electromagnetic ultrasonic detection coil 4 is installed in the gap between the lower end of the magnetic gathering element 3 and the outer surface of the steel pipe 6 to be detected, and when the high-frequency current is passed through, the stable and strong magnetic field there is used to detect the direction of the steel pipe 6 to be detected. The skin layer generates induced eddy currents and excites shear shear waves in a concentrated magnetic field environment, thereby realizing the electromagnetic ultrasonic measurement function of the steel pipe wall thickness.

图2是按照本发明另一构造形式的钢管壁厚电磁超声测量装置的结构示意图。图2中所示结构与图1中的主要区别之处在于:导磁元件2呈筒状结构将穿过式磁化线圈1套设其中,相应地,多个臂状结构的聚磁元件3沿着该导磁元件2的周向方向分别对称其上,并且其下端贴近待检测钢管6的外表面并保持间隙。通过以上构造,能够沿着待检测钢管的圆周方向对称布置多个磁桥回路,便于实现在钢管全周向建立多个独立强磁场同时消除对钢管的吸力,从而有助于进一步提高测量的稳定性,并增强实际测量时的操作便利性。Fig. 2 is a structural schematic diagram of an electromagnetic-ultrasonic measuring device for steel pipe wall thickness according to another configuration form of the present invention. The main difference between the structure shown in FIG. 2 and that in FIG. 1 is that the magnetic permeable element 2 is in a cylindrical structure and the through-type magnetizing coil 1 is sheathed therein. The circumferential direction of the magnetic permeable element 2 is respectively symmetrical to the upper part, and its lower end is close to the outer surface of the steel pipe 6 to be detected and maintains a gap. Through the above structure, multiple magnetic bridge circuits can be symmetrically arranged along the circumferential direction of the steel pipe to be tested, which facilitates the establishment of multiple independent strong magnetic fields in the entire circumferential direction of the steel pipe while eliminating the suction force on the steel pipe, thereby helping to further improve the stability of the measurement and enhance the convenience of operation during actual measurement.

如图2中具体所示,根据待检测钢管6的外径大小以及检测速度等方面的要求,聚磁元件3相对于待检测钢管可沿其径向方向上调节,由此适用于不同管径的待检测钢管。此外,聚磁元件3的剖面结构为一端截面积相对较大、另外一端截面积相对较小的类似梯形结构,并且截面积相对较小的一端靠近于待检测钢管6的外表面,从而可以将磁场更好地聚集在电磁超声检测线圈4的作用范围。As specifically shown in Figure 2, according to the requirements of the outer diameter of the steel pipe 6 to be detected and the detection speed, the magnetic gathering element 3 can be adjusted along its radial direction relative to the steel pipe to be detected, thus being applicable to different pipe diameters. of steel pipes to be tested. In addition, the cross-sectional structure of the magnetic gathering element 3 is a similar trapezoidal structure with a relatively large cross-sectional area at one end and a relatively small cross-sectional area at the other end, and the end with a relatively small cross-sectional area is close to the outer surface of the steel pipe 6 to be detected, so that the The magnetic field is better concentrated in the action range of the electromagnetic ultrasonic detection coil 4 .
