Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a quality detection method for steel pipe production, in particular to a method for measuring the wall thickness of a pipe end of a steel pipe.
Background
The pipe end wall thickness of the steel pipe refers to the radial thickness between the inner circle and the outer circle of a part of steel pipe or a pipe section within the specified length range of the two end heads of the steel pipe, the pipe end wall thickness is one of the most important control parameters in the production of the steel pipe, and is also an important index of the quality of the steel pipe product, and the pipe end wall thickness has definite technical requirements at home and abroad. Different standards have different specifications for the length range of pipe ends, such as those set forth in the American Petroleum Institute (API) standards for pipeline steel: the length range of the pipe end is the length range of each end of the steel pipe 100mm (4.0 in) away from the end.
With the continuous progress of the pipeline on-site welding construction technology, the quality requirement on the steel pipe is continuously improved, and particularly the requirement on the wall thickness of the pipe end is extremely strict. When two steel pipes are welded in the field or in the sea, if the wall thickness of the pipe end meets the requirement, the welding can be smoothly finished; on the contrary, the butt welding of the two pipes is difficult, and even if the two pipes can be welded together, a large residual stress can be generated, so that the mechanical performance of the welding seam is reduced, and the safety of the pipeline is reduced. Due to the limitation of the production process, the steel pipes with unqualified pipe end wall thickness still exist, and qualified steel pipes need to be strictly screened out.
The measurement of the wall thickness of a pipe end is actually the measurement of the distance between the inner wall and the outer wall of the cross section of the pipe end of a steel pipe, the measurement methods in the prior art mainly comprise measurement means such as a ray method, a magnetic leakage method, a vortex method, ultrasonic thickness measurement and the like, and production and measurement cannot be effectively matched due to the influence of the state of a production line, the production rhythm and the like. Therefore, the measurement of the wall thickness of the pipe end in actual production still depends on manual measurement, the manual measurement generally adopts a wall thickness micrometer and a go-no go gauge which are used for manual measurement, but is greatly influenced by factors such as production environment, measuring tool accuracy, operator experience and the like, the measurement accuracy is low, the speed is low, the efficiency is low, the labor intensity of workers is high, and the measurement data points are limited, so that the real condition of the wall thickness of the pipe end cannot be fully reflected.
The chinese patent application CN202011593379.3 discloses a method for measuring the inner and outer walls and the wall thickness of a steel pipe based on a visual micrometer, and specifically discloses: firstly, for the same batch of steel pipes, adjusting the spatial position of a visual micrometer to enable the center of a view field of the visual micrometer, the surface of an entity or a virtual scale and the central plane of the steel pipe to be in the same plane, wherein the steel pipe is not a complete rotating body due to ovality and the edge of the outer wall of the steel pipe is vertical to the scale; determining a lens used, the magnification factor and the depth of field of the lens, and adjusting the working distance of the lens; measuring the distance between the whole visual micrometer and the end face of the steel pipe before measuring the wall thickness and the inner and outer diameters of the steel pipe each time by using the laser displacement sensor, and controlling the visual micrometer to move to a scale in the system and the distance between the front surface of the base to meet the working conditions of a camera and a lens; step four, the visual micrometer moves under the control of the driving motor, the camera simultaneously acquires images in the moving process, the images are processed in the image processing unit, and the visual micrometer stops moving when the edge position of the steel pipe is identified; step five, the image processing unit processes the acquired image; and step six, calculating the ovality of the end face of the steel pipe. The method can be only used for measuring the wall thickness of the end face of the steel pipe, can only be used for quality inspection of common steel pipe products, but cannot be used for measuring the wall thickness of the interior of the end face of the steel pipe, namely the wall thickness of the interior of the end face of the steel pipe within a certain distance range from the end face, and the wall thickness of the steel pipe detected by the method cannot meet the requirements of API (application program interface) standards or national standards on the wall thickness of the end of the steel pipe. When the method is used in actual applications such as welding of steel pipes, if the welding of the steel pipes does not meet the requirements, the pipe ends of the welded parts need to be sawn off and welded again, but the method cannot determine whether the wall thickness of the end faces of the steel pipes after sawing meets the standard requirements, and the steel pipes can not be used. Meanwhile, due to the influence of a plurality of factors such as ambient light, the edge positions of the inner wall and the outer wall of the steel pipe cannot be accurately distinguished and analyzed in the image collected by the camera, the measurement precision cannot be guaranteed, and the method is not suitable for detection of steel pipe products with high precision requirements.

The first distance sensor 81 and the second distance sensor 82 can use a laser sensor in the prior art to measure the distance between the first distance sensor and the wall of the steel pipe 2 at a certain sampling frequency. The wall thickness calculation unit 11 may employ computer equipment of the prior art and be integrated with the relevant data calculation model.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the method for measuring the wall thickness of the pipe end of the steel pipe comprises the following steps:
step 1: the wall thickness calculation unit 11 obtains steel pipe parameters.
Step 1.1: and arranging an in-place signal detector 9 on a measuring station of the steel pipe 2, wherein the in-place signal detector 9 judges whether the steel pipe 2 reaches the station, namely the steel pipe 2 is placed on the V-shaped support 1, if so, executing the step 1.2, and if not, continuing to wait for the steel pipe 2. Preferably, the in-place signal detector 9 can be arranged among a plurality of V-shaped brackets 1 of a certain station and used for detecting whether a steel pipe 2 exists on the station.
Step 1.2: the input end of the wall thickness calculating unit 11 is connected with the output end of the process signal interface unit 10, the input end of the process signal interface unit 10 is connected to a control system of the steel pipe production line, and the wall thickness calculating unit 11 obtains steel pipe parameters from the control system of the steel pipe production line through the process signal interface unit 10. The specification and model of the process signal interface unit 10 should be matched with the control system of the steel pipe production line to ensure reliable transmission of the steel pipe parameter information.
The steel pipe parameters comprise the specification size and the detection standard of the steel pipe 2. The specification and size of the steel tube 2 are used for determining the height position of the central axis of the steel tube 2 when the steel tube 2 is placed on the measuring station, so that the lifting adjusting distance of the up-down lifting mechanism 4 is determined. The detection standard comprises the length range of the measured section of the steel pipe 2, the detection precision, the requirements and the like.
And 2, step: the rotating arm is a Y-shaped structure formed by connecting a straight rod 51 and a bending rod 52, and a first distance sensor 81 and a second distance sensor 82 which are oppositely arranged are respectively arranged on the straight rod 51 and the bending rod 52. The wall thickness calculating unit 11 calculates the lifting distance of the lifting mechanism 4 according to the steel pipe parameters, controls the lifting mechanism 4 to lift up and down according to the lifting distance, and controls the horizontal moving mechanism 3 to move horizontally, so that the first distance sensor 81 is positioned inside the measuring section of the steel pipe 2, and the second distance sensor 82 is positioned outside the measuring section of the steel pipe 2.
Preferably, the first distance sensor 81 is located on the central axis of the steel pipe 2.
And step 3: the wall thickness calculation means 11 calculates the rotational angular velocity w of the rotating arm of the rotation control mechanism 5 and the translational velocity v of the horizontal movement mechanism 3 from the steel pipe parameters.
The rotational angular velocity w and the translational velocity v are determined according to the length of the measuring section of the steel pipe 2, the pipe diameter of the steel pipe 2, the detection precision and requirements and the like, the inner diameters of the steel pipes 2 with different specifications are different, the detection standards and requirements are also different, and in order to ensure the measurement precision and consistency, the measuring points on the radial direction of the steel pipe 2 need to be uniformly distributed, namely the included angle between the two measuring points, namely delta theta, is equal, and meanwhile, a sufficient number of measuring data points need to be provided. Under the condition that the measuring frequency of the first distance sensor 81 and the second distance sensor 82 is constant, the included angle between the two measuring points is determined by the rotation angular velocity w of the rotating arm, so the required number of measuring points and the included angle between the measuring points are determined according to different specifications and detection standard requirements of the steel pipe 2, and the rotation angular velocity w is calculated.
And 4, step 4: the sampling period Δ θ is set, and step 5 and step 6 are performed simultaneously. The sampling period Δ θ means that the first distance sensor 81 and the second distance sensor 82 acquire distance data once every time the rotary arm rotates by the angle θ. The sampling period delta theta is determined by the rotation angular velocity w, the higher the detection standard and requirement of the steel pipe 2 are, the smaller the rotation angular velocity w is, and the smaller the sampling period delta theta is; as the specification of the steel pipe 2 is larger, the rotational angular velocity w is smaller and the sampling period Δ θ is also smaller in order to ensure the measurement accuracy.
Referring to fig. 3, in fig. 3, a solid line indicates a position of the rotating arm at a certain time, and a dotted line indicates a position of the rotating arm at a certain time after rotating by a certain angle.
And 5: the wall thickness calculating unit 11 controls the rotation arm to rotate around the axial direction of the steel pipe 2 at a rotation angular velocity w (as shown by an arc arrow in fig. 3), and controls the horizontal movement mechanism 3 to translate parallel to the axial direction of the steel pipe 2 at a translation velocity v (as shown by a straight arrow in fig. 3), so that the first distance sensor 81 and the second distance sensor 82 move spirally from one end of the measurement section (i.e. the measurement start position) to the other end of the measurement section (i.e. the measurement end position), and the measurement range is ensured to cover the length range of the measurement section, i.e. the pipe end, of the steel pipe 2.
And 6: the wall thickness calculation unit 11 acquires 360n/Δ θ sets of wall thickness data through the distance sensor 6 and the angle sensor 7, and calculates the average wall thickness of the measured section of the steel pipe 2 according to the 360n/Δ θ sets of wall thickness data, wherein the average wall thickness is the pipe end wall thickness of the steel pipe 2. Wherein n is the number of rotation turns of the rotating arm.
Please refer to fig. 4, step 6.1: each set of wall thickness data includes (s, θ, r1, r 2).
Wherein s is the translation distance of the horizontal moving mechanism 3 at the current moment, and is acquired by the distance sensor 6, and s is more than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to the length of the measuring section;
theta is the rotation angle of the rotating arm at the current moment and is collected by an angle sensor 7;
r1 is the distance between the first distance sensor 81 and the inner wall of the steel pipe 2 at the current moment, and is acquired by the first distance sensor 81;
r2 is the distance between the second distance sensor 82 and the outer wall of the steel pipe 2 at the present moment, and is collected by the second distance sensor 82.
Step 6.2: and calculating the wall thickness D of each group of wall thickness data, wherein the calculation formula is as follows:
d = L-r1-r2 formula (1).
Where L is the distance between the first distance sensor 81 and the second distance sensor 82.
Step 6.3: the maximum wall thickness Dmax and the minimum wall thickness Dmin in the 360 n/[ Delta ] theta set of wall thickness data are recorded, and the average wall thickness Davg in the 360 n/[ Delta ] theta set of data is calculated.
Step 6.4: and judging the stability and consistency of the wall thickness data, setting a judgment parameter p and a judgment threshold p, determining the design requirements of steel pipes with different grades, and preferably, setting the value range of the judgment threshold p to be 5-10%.
The calculation formula of the evaluation parameter p is as follows: p = (Dmax-Dmin)/Davg formula (2).
When p is less than or equal to p, the stability and consistency of the wall thickness data are good, and the average wall thickness Davg is used as the wall thickness of the pipe end of the steel pipe 2; when p > p, the stability and consistency of the wall thickness data is poor, and the wall thickness data is re-measured.
The method for re-measuring the wall thickness data comprises the following steps:
step 6.4.1: the wall thickness calculating unit 11 controls the rotating arm and the horizontal moving mechanism 3 to perform a reverse return movement corresponding to the rotation and translation in step 5, i.e. returning from the measurement ending position to the measurement starting position, wherein the rotating angular velocity w and the translation velocity v of the straight rod 51 are consistent in magnitude and opposite in direction to the advancing time, so that the first distance sensor 81 and the second distance sensor 82 spirally return to one end of the measurement section from the other end of the measurement section, and the wall thickness data at the positions of the maximum wall thickness Dmax and the minimum wall thickness Dmin are measured again in the return movement. The location of the maximum wall thickness Dmax and the location of the minimum wall thickness Dmin may be determined from s and θ of the set of wall thickness data.
Step 6.4.2: the new maximum wall thickness Dmax1, the new minimum wall thickness Dmin1 and the new average wall thickness Davg1 are recalculated from the re-measured wall thickness data.
Step 6.4.3: calculating a new judgment parameter p1 according to the new maximum wall thickness Dmax1, the new minimum wall thickness Dmin1 and the new average wall thickness Davg1, and judging the stability and consistency of wall thickness data, wherein the calculation formula of the new judgment parameter p1 is as follows:
p1= (Dmax 1-Dmin 1)/Davg formula (3).
When p1 is not more than p, the stability and consistency of wall thickness data are good, and the average wall thickness Davg is used as the wall thickness of the pipe end of the steel pipe 2; when p1 is greater than p, the stability and consistency of the wall thickness data are poor, a new maximum wall thickness Dmax1, a new minimum wall thickness Dmin1 and a new average wall thickness Davg1 are recorded, and an alarm signal is output.
And 7: the wall thickness calculating unit 11 judges whether the measurement is finished, if so, the measurement is finished, and the next steel pipe 2 is waited for; if not, returning to the step 1, and according to the requirement of detection precision, repeatedly measuring some steel pipes 2 for multiple times, and realizing circular measurement by returning to the step 1. The data acquisition precision and parameter setting for repeated measurements may be different, so that when returning to step 1, the wall thickness calculation unit 11 controls the horizontal movement mechanism 3, the up-down lifting mechanism 4 and the rotation control mechanism 5 to synchronously return to the initial state before detection.
Example 1:
the steel pipe 2 to be detected is horizontally placed on the measuring station, the in-place signal detector 9 detects that the steel pipe 2 arrives at the station, and the steel pipe end wall thickness measuring device is started. The wall thickness calculation unit 11 acquires the steel pipe parameters such as the specification size and the detection standard of the steel pipe 2 on the current station to be detected through the process signal interface 10.
The wall thickness calculating unit 11 controls the vertical lifting mechanism 4 to lift up and down according to the specification and size information of the measured steel pipe 2, and adjusts the height of the straight rod 51 of the rotating arm, so that the central line of the straight rod 51 and the central axis of the current measured steel pipe 2 are at the same height. After the up-down position adjustment is completed, the wall thickness calculating unit 11 controls the horizontal moving mechanism 3 to drive the up-down lifting mechanism 4 and the rotation control mechanism 5 to move towards the pipe end of the steel pipe 2, so that the first distance sensor 81 and the second distance sensor 82 completely enter the end area of the steel pipe 2, the two distance sensors are guaranteed to be over against a certain section of the end of the steel pipe 2, the first distance sensor 81 is located inside the steel pipe 2 and used for measuring the distance between the inner wall of the steel pipe 2, and the second distance sensor 82 is located outside the steel pipe 2 and used for measuring the distance between the outer wall of the steel pipe 2.
The pipe end of the steel pipe 2 to be measured is within a length range of 100mm from the end face of the steel pipe 2 in the length direction of the steel pipe 2, that is, the length of the measurement section is 100mm, and the pipe diameter of the steel pipe 2 to be measured is 120mm. The thickness calculating means 11 calculates the rotational angular velocity w of the rotary arm to be 90 °/s, the translational velocity v of the horizontal movement mechanism 3 to be 20mm, s, and Δ θ =0.5 °. The wall thickness calculating unit 11 controls the rotation of the rotary arm and the horizontal movement of the horizontal movement mechanism 3, so that the first distance sensor 81 and the second distance sensor 82 move spirally from the outer end to the inner end of the measuring section.
The first distance sensor 81 and the second distance sensor 82 collect a set of wall thickness data every time when rotating for 0.5 degrees in the moving process, 720 sets of wall thickness data (s, theta, r1 and r 2) are collected every time when the straight rod 51 rotates for one circle, and all the wall thickness data are sent to the wall thickness calculating unit 11. The wall thickness calculation unit 11 calculates the wall thickness D at each measurement point according to the formula (1), calculates an average wall thickness Davg =5.5mm from all the wall thicknesses D, and counts a maximum wall thickness Dmax =5.61mm and a minimum wall thickness Dmin =5.42mm.
Setting a judgment threshold p × =10%, calculating a judgment parameter p =0.034 according to formula (2), namely 3.4% < 10%, and the wall thickness data has high consistency. The average wall thickness Davg was defined as the pipe end wall thickness of the steel pipe 2.
