Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrodynamic ultrasound transducer according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Electrodynamic ultrasonic transducers are mainly used in the field of non-destructive testing of workpieces.
  • Such electrodynamic ultrasonic transducers consist of magnetic systems that introduce magnetic field lines into the workpiece to be tested.
  • a coil system arranged in the vicinity of the workpiece surface is subjected to high-frequency alternating voltage and in this way generates eddy eddy currents in the workpiece surface.
  • Such an electrodynamic ultrasonic transducer of the generic type is known from German published patent application DE 32 34 424.
  • the electrodynamic ultrasound transducer consists of a magnet arrangement, in which magnets with the same polarities are arranged facing one another via ferrite parts located between them.
  • the dimensions of the ferrite parts in this known embodiment parallel to the pole faces are at least as large as the cross-sectional area of the pole faces themselves.
  • magnetic field lines are concentrated on the area of the ferrite part, but only partially magnetic Draw conclusions about the workpiece to be tested. In other words, magnetic field lines also occur laterally, i.e. not directly towards the workpiece surface and make a conclusion about the air.
  • the disadvantage is that only part of the total available magnetic field can be used for ultrasonic testing.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to develop an electrodynamic ultrasonic transducer of the generic type in such a way that, with little effort, a substantial increase in the magnetic field density that can be used for ultrasonic testing can be generated on the workpiece surface to be tested.
  • the object is achieved according to the invention in that the cross-sectional area of the concentrator body parallel to the pole faces of the permanent magnets is made smaller than each of the pole faces of the permanent magnets and that the concentrator body is arranged displaced towards the workpiece surface and the space remaining between the pole faces around the concentrator body is filled with a correspondingly shaped non-ferromagnetic body.
  • the task of increasing the magnetic field density to be introduced into the workpiece is solved in a very simple and yet very effective manner.
  • the proposal according to the invention to make the cross-sectional area of the concentrator body smaller than each of the pole faces of the permanent magnets leads to a constriction or collectivization of all magnetic field lines in the direction of the concentrator Concentrator body. Lateral emergence of magnetic field lines on the other sides not facing the surface to be tested is prevented in a very simple manner in this way.
  • the proposal according to the invention to arrange the concentrator body thus configured also shifted towards the workpiece surface has the advantage that most of the magnetic field density can be directed onto the surface and then preferably forms the inference there, and can thus be used for ultrasound generation .
  • the concentrator body advantageously consists of a soft magnetic powder composite.
  • the invention enables advantageous use of permanent magnets.
  • the use of a concentrator body made of a soft magnetic powder composite material leads to an efficient use of the magnetic field for the ultrasound generation. This is due to the fact that soft magnetic powder composite materials conduct magnetic field lines, but are electrically high-resistance. The result of these properties is that the magnetic field is brought to the surface of the workpiece without weakening, but that no ultrasound is generated in the concentrator body itself. This has the advantage that the entire energy available for generating ultrasound in the workpiece itself can be used.
  • the concentrator body is provided with a bulge on the side facing the workpiece surface. This bulge causes the magnetic field lines to be concentrated in a particularly simple manner on or in the workpiece to be tested.
  • the non-ferromagnetic body is made of plastic. This advantageously results in simple workability and handling.
  • a plurality of magnet arrangements are strung together to form a test ruler. This results in a simple and compact test facility.
  • the non-ferromagnetic body is provided with a through hole which is arranged perpendicular to the workpiece surface to be tested and at a distance from the concentrator body.
  • the outward-facing pole faces of the magnets are connected in a magnetically conductive manner to a yoke body, and the yoke body is provided with contact surfaces that can be placed on the workpiece surface to be tested. It follows there is advantageously a good inference effect with regard to the magnetic field lines.
  • Figure 1 shows the arrangement of the permanent magnets 1, 2 with pole faces 1 '; 2 'opposite polarity.
  • the concentrator body 3 is inserted, which is then held by the partially encompassing non-ferromagnetic body 4.
  • the non-ferromagnetic body 4 is designed so that it is flush with the outer contours of the permanent magnets 1, 2.
  • Figure 2 shows the concentrator body 3 and the partially encompassing non-ferromagnetic body 4 in section along the line AA.
  • the non-ferromagnetic body 4 essentially describes the cross-sectional contour of the pole faces 1 ', 2' of the permanent magnets 1, 2, in which the concentrator body 3 is then displaced in a predetermined position relative to the workpiece surface 6. It is clear here that the cross section of the concentrator body 3 is considerably smaller than the cross sectional area of the pole faces 1 ', 2'.
  • the bulge 3 'of the concentrator body 3, which points towards the surface, projects somewhat beyond the boundary line of the cross-sectional contour of the magnets 1, 2 and the non-ferromagnetic body 4 to the workpiece surface there. Between this bulge 3 'and the workpiece surface 6, the transducer coil 5 is arranged, to which a high-frequency transmission pulse is applied, whereby the ultrasound is generated in the workpiece 6 to be tested.
  • Figure 3 shows the magnet arrangement in side view with the use of a yoke body 8.
  • the yoke body 8 is magnetically conductive on the outward-facing pole ends of the magnets 1 and 2. Via the contact surfaces 9 and 10 attached to the yoke body 8, it is possible to apply the yoke body 8 to the workpiece surface 6 to be tested. Hereby the conclusion, d. H. the return of the magnetic field lines and thus enables the creation of a closed magnetic circuit.
  • the contact surfaces 9 and 10 are dimensioned such that, together with them, the transducer coil 5 is placed in a suitable position on the workpiece surface.
  • the yoke body 8 consists of a ferromagnetic material.
  • the cross-sectional area of the concentrator body cannot be reduced as desired. Care must be taken that the cross section of the concentrator body is sufficient to absorb the magnetic field density present. This ability depends on the one hand on the permeability, the induction of saturation and thus on the material, and on the other hand it depends on the energy product on the spatial dimensions of the magnets. In this way, depending on the material used and depending on the magnetic field strength of the magnets, there are minimum spatial dimensions of the concentrator body. These are then to be considered depending on the magnetic material and spatial dimensions as well as on the choice of the material of the concentrator body.
