Abstract

The invention relates to a measuring arrangement for determining cracks, in which the optical fibres, which are inserted in plastics parts, are tested for their passage of light.

Description

Meßanordnung zum Feststellen von Rissen Measuring arrangement for the detection of cracks

Meßanordnung zum Feststellen von Rissen in Prüflinge,l mit einem zur Auslösung einer Rißanzeige dienenden und am Prüfling angebrachten Rißdetektor, der nach Patent...(Patentanmeldung P 31 11 858.5) aus am Prüfling angebrachten und über einen Lichteinkoppler mit Licht versorgten Lichtleitfasern besteht.Measuring arrangement for the detection of cracks in test objects, l with a for Triggering of a crack indicator serving and attached to the test specimen, the crack detector according to patent ... (patent application P 31 11 858.5) from attached to the test item and over a light coupler with optical fibers supplied with light.

Bei der Meßanordnung des zuvor angegebenen Haupipatentes (Hauptpatentanmeldung) besteht der Rißdetektor aus Lichtleitfasern, welche auf den jeweils zu untersuchenden Prüfling aufgeklebt werden. Mittels eines Lichteinkopplers wird diesen Lichtleitfasern Licht zugeführt, deren Transmission an den anderen Enden mit einem Lichtdetektor überwacht wird. Ein in einer Lichtleitfaser aufgrund eines Risses entstandener Bruch reduziert die Lichttransemission in dieser Faser sehr stark und hat daher zur Folge, daß der Lichtdetektor hierauf anspricht und ein Signal zur Auslösung einer Rißanzeige erzeugt. Von besonderem Vorteil ist dabei die Tatsache, daß durch den unmittelbaren Kontakt der Lichtleitfasern mit der Bauteiloberfläche sich eine hohe Nachweisempfindlichkeit ergibt, und daß Korrosionsprobleme nicht auftreten können.With the measuring arrangement of the main patent specified above (main patent application) the crack detector consists of optical fibers, which point to the respective to be examined Test specimen are glued on. By means of a light coupler these optical fibers light fed, the transmission of which is monitored at the other ends with a light detector will. A break in an optical fiber due to a crack is reduced the light transmission in this fiber is very strong and therefore has the consequence that the Light detector responds to this and generates a signal to trigger a crack display. Of particular advantage is the fact that through direct contact the optical fibers with the component surface have a high detection sensitivity results, and that corrosion problems can not occur.

Rißdetektoren dieser Art haben den Vorteil, daß eine einmal ausgelöste Rißanzeige irreversibel ist, so daß ein entstandener Riß auch nach Entlastung des Prüflings angezeigt wird. Die vorliegende Erfindung geht von dem Hauptpatent aus und zeigt eine Weiterentwicklung. Diese Weiterentwicklung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß in einen aus Kunststoff bestehenden Prüfling Lichtleitfasern eingelegt sind. Die Lichtleitfasern können dabei auch anstelle einzelner zur Verstärkung dienender Fasern in die Kunststoffteile eingesetzt sein.Crack detectors of this type have the advantage that once triggered Crack indication is irreversible, so that a crack that has occurred even after the load is removed Is displayed. The present invention is based on the main patent and shows a further development. This further development is characterized by that optical fibers are inserted into a test piece made of plastic. The optical fibers can also be used for reinforcement instead of individual ones Fibers used in the plastic parts.

Die erfindungsgemäße Weiterentwicklung zeigt eine vorteilhafte Anwendung für aus Kunststoffteilen bestehende und zu überwachende Prüflinge. Das in die Lichtleitfasern auf einer Seite eingekoppelte Licht wird dabei auf seinen Durchgang auf der anderen Seite überprüft. Fehlender Lichtdurchgang ist dabei das Kriterium für einen aufgetretenen Riß, welcher auf die im Hauptpatent beschriebene Weise ermittelt wird. Bei einem Prüfling kann es sich um eine Kunststoffschicht, und zwar ein sogenanntes Laminat oder ein beliebiges, aus Kunststoff bestehendes und zu überwachendes Teil handeln Der besondere Vorteil ergibt sich hier durch das bei der Herstellung vorzunehmende Einsetzen der Lichtleitfasern, so daß später keine derartigen Fasern auf die Prüflinge aufzubringen sind.The further development according to the invention shows an advantageous application for test objects consisting of plastic parts and to be monitored. That into the optical fibers Light coupled in on one side is thereby restricted to its passage on the other Page checked. A lack of light transmission is the criterion for one that has occurred Crack, which is determined in the manner described in the main patent. At a The test item can be a plastic layer, a so-called laminate or any part made of plastic that is to be monitored The particular advantage here results from what has to be done during manufacture Insertion of the optical fibers so that later no such fibers on the test specimens are to be raised.
