Detailed Description
The following description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments herein without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the present application.
Example 1
Referring to fig. 1-12, for one embodiment of the present invention, an ultrasonic multiple measurement system is provided, comprising a host module connected to a probe module;
the probe module is used for transmitting ultrasonic pulse signals and receiving ultrasonic feedback signals, the ultrasonic feedback signals are input into the host module and then converted into A scanning waveform data to be displayed, and the probe module comprises one probe or a plurality of probes.
In some embodiments, the host module, when used alone, is directly electrically connected to a probe. At the moment, the host module directly transmits a high-voltage pulse signal to the probe, the high-voltage pulse signal is excited to the piezoelectric wafer, the piezoelectric wafer vibrates to generate an ultrasonic pulse signal, the ultrasonic pulse signal is transmitted through the probe, the host module receives multiple ultrasonic feedback signals returned by a single probe, and a plurality of A scanning waveform data are displayed after being processed by the host module.
When the host module transmits a single high-voltage pulse signal to excite the probe, one A scanning waveform data is returned, the same waveform is used for each layer, the range, translation, noise reduction, echo noise reduction, gate, polarity 1, polarity 2, type, phase and multiple of waveform adjustment parameters can be independently adjusted in each layer to adapt to different testing conditions, but the gain is required to be the same for each layer, because the same waveform is used in a single high-voltage pulse signal mode, and the amplification amplitude of the same waveform cannot be different. When the host module transmits high-voltage pulse signals for exciting the probe for a plurality of times, different waveforms are used for each layer, so that all waveform adjustment parameters including gain are independently adjustable for each layer, and the problems in some multi-layer measurement applications can be solved. Specifically, the block steel plate with the paint layer on the bottom surface has high echo of the bottom surface of the coating and relatively low echo of the bottom surface of the base material when the thickness of the paint layer and the thickness of the steel plate are measured simultaneously. When the high-voltage pulse signal mode is used for a plurality of times, the gain of each layer is required to be consistent, the gain needs to be reduced when the coating layer is used for measuring the coating layer, the echo of the substrate is too low to obtain a reading when the substrate layer is switched to the substrate layer for measuring the substrate after the gain is reduced, and the coating layer cannot be accurately measured because the gain is too high after the substrate layer is used for increasing the gain. When the high-voltage pulse signals are excited for a plurality of times, each layer has independent A scanning waveform data, and the gain of each layer is independently adjustable, so that the problem can be well solved. Multilayer measurements can be used to measure and display the thickness of each layer simultaneously on a workpiece with a coating on the surface and a workpiece made of a multilayer composite material. The A scanning waveform data of each layer can be displayed independently, waveform adjustment parameters are independently adjustable, and partial configuration parameters are independently adjustable. If the automobile body that the multilayer sprays paint is measured, can show the paint thickness of each layer respectively to and the thickness of metal automobile body, the paint layer is very thin, can use unit um to show thickness, and the metal automobile body is thicker, can use mm to show thickness, and the independent adjustable of parameter lets the measurement become very nimble.

The multi-point (multi-channel) measurement scene can only be excited by using multiple high-voltage pulse signals, the multi-point (multi-channel) measurement scene is characterized in that a host module transmits multiple high-voltage pulse signal excitation, the high-voltage pulse signal excitation is transmitted to a multi-channel expansion module through a single-core shielded signal wire, after each channel of the multi-channel expansion module receives one single high-voltage pulse signal excitation signal excited by the multiple high-voltage pulse signal excitation, a probe connected to the channel is excited, each probe transmits an ultrasonic pulse signal, the ultrasonic pulse signal is transmitted to the bottom surface of a workpiece to generate reflection, a piezoelectric wafer in the probe receives the reflected ultrasonic wave to generate inverse piezoelectric effect, the ultrasonic wave is converted into an electric signal, and the electric signal is received by the host module and processed into A-scanning waveform data and displayed.
In some embodiments, the application scenarios of the multiple measurement method are divided into three types, namely single-point single-layer measurement, single-point multi-layer measurement and multi-point (multi-channel) measurement;
the single-point single-layer measurement is specifically as follows: only one probe needs to be equipped with the host module, and when the host module transmits a single high-voltage pulse signal to excite the probe, one piece of A scanning waveform data is returned, which is a conventional measurement method. When the host module transmits high-voltage pulse signals for multiple times to excite the probe, a plurality of A scanning waveform data are returned, and because waveform adjustment parameters of each waveform are independently adjustable, the single-point single-layer thickness accuracy can be verified by setting different observation ranges for each A scanning waveform data, and realizing regional amplified observation of single-point measurement and using different measurement modes for a plurality of waveforms.
The single-point multilayer measurement is specifically: when the host module transmits a single high-voltage pulse signal to excite the probe, the probe returns an A scanning waveform data, each layer uses the same waveform, and the range, translation, silencing, echo silencing, gate, polarity 1, polarity 2, type, phase and multiple of waveform adjusting parameters can be independently adjusted in each layer to adapt to different testing conditions, but the gain is the same in each layer, because the same waveform is used in the single high-voltage pulse signal mode, and the amplification amplitude of the same waveform cannot be different. Using multiple high voltage pulse signal patterns, each layer uses a different waveform, so all waveform adjustment parameters, including gain, are independently adjustable for each layer, which can solve the problems in some multi-layer measurement applications. Specifically, the block steel plate with the paint layer on the bottom surface has high echo of the bottom surface of the coating and relatively low echo of the bottom surface of the base material when the thickness of the paint layer and the thickness of the steel plate are measured simultaneously. When the high-voltage pulse signal mode is used for a plurality of times, the gain of each layer is required to be consistent, the gain needs to be reduced when the coating layer is used for measuring the coating layer, the echo of the substrate is too low to obtain a reading when the substrate layer is switched to the substrate layer for measuring the substrate after the gain is reduced, and the coating layer cannot be accurately measured because the gain is too high after the substrate layer is used for increasing the gain. When the high-voltage pulse signals are excited for a plurality of times, each layer has independent A scanning waveform data, and the gain of each layer is independently adjustable, so that the problem can be well solved. Multilayer measurements can be used to measure and display the thickness of each layer simultaneously on a workpiece with a coating on the surface and a workpiece made of a multilayer composite material. The A scanning waveform data of each layer can be displayed independently, waveform adjustment parameters are independently adjustable, and partial configuration parameters are independently adjustable. If the automobile body that the multilayer sprays paint is measured, can show the paint thickness of each layer respectively to and the thickness of metal automobile body, the paint layer is very thin, can use unit um to show thickness, and the metal automobile body is thicker, can use mm to show thickness, and the independent adjustable of parameter lets the measurement become very nimble.
The multipoint (multichannel) measurement is specifically: the multi-channel expansion module is connected with a plurality of probes, and the probes are used for measuring a plurality of points. It should be noted that the multipoint measurement can only be excited by using a plurality of high-voltage pulse signals, and the working procedure is as follows: the host module transmits multiple high-voltage pulse signals, the multiple high-voltage pulse signals are transmitted to the multi-channel expansion module through a single-core shielded radio frequency signal line, after each channel of the multi-channel expansion module receives one single high-voltage pulse signal excitation signal of the multiple high-voltage pulse signals, a probe connected to the channel is excited, each probe returns an ultrasonic signal, and each channel generates a piece of A scanning waveform data. Because the multi-point (multi-channel) measurement adopts multiple high-voltage pulse signal excitation, each channel has independent A scanning waveform data, and all waveform adjustment parameters are independently adjustable. Multipoint (multichannel) measurement is widely applied, for example, the measurement of the thickness of a pipeline at multiple points is needed to be respectively carried out at the positions of 12 points, 3 points, 6 points and 9 points of the pipeline. If the common thickness gauge is required to realize the measurement of four points at the same time, four instruments are required to be used, or 1 instrument is used for respectively measuring the four points, so that the application of simultaneous measurement cannot be realized. The method can realize multi-point simultaneous measurement of multiple probes by using only one instrument, which is equivalent to the operation of multiple independent instruments. The cost is greatly saved.
