Description

金屬腐蝕監測系統及方法 Metal corrosion monitoring system and method

本發明是有關於一種金屬腐蝕監測系統與金屬腐蝕的監測方法,且特別是有關於一種使用脈衝訊號進行主動式防蝕監測的金屬腐蝕監測系統與金屬腐蝕的監測方法。 The invention relates to a metal corrosion monitoring system and a metal corrosion monitoring method, and in particular to a metal corrosion monitoring system and a metal corrosion monitoring method using a pulse signal for active corrosion monitoring.

為得知物件(地下埋管、海上工作平台、風力發電機、橋梁鋼構或船體)在腐蝕環境中的腐蝕情況,需使用人眼進行觀察。然而,若是位於海底的物件(例如海上工作平台的鋼構等),勢必需要派人員潛水至海底進行探查作業,對潛水人員的風險較高且費用昂貴。金屬腐蝕監測常應用於在容易腐蝕的環境(例如海中或地面下)中,監測各種物件的腐蝕狀況,以即時在物件嚴重破損前進行更換。 In order to know the corrosion of objects (underground pipes, offshore working platforms, wind turbines, bridge steel structures or hulls) in corrosive environments, it is necessary to observe them with the human eye. However, if the object is located on the seabed (such as the steel structure of the offshore work platform, etc.), it is necessary to send personnel to the seabed for exploration, which is more risky and expensive for the diver. Metal corrosion monitoring is often used to monitor the corrosion of various objects in a highly corrosive environment (such as in the sea or under the ground) to instantly replace the object before it is severely damaged.

目前有一種裝置,其是以一金屬件包覆金屬管線的外部塗層,金屬件和金屬管線的外部塗層分別與導線連接。將金屬件做為電極,利用此二導線測量金屬件和金屬管線的外部塗層之間的阻抗值變化,以了解金屬管線的外部塗層是否有破損。然而,上述方法的缺點在於須對金屬管線施加些微電壓,倘若金屬管線內為易燃流體,則容易產生氣 爆。此外,施加些微電壓也可能加速對金屬管線的腐蝕。再者,倘若金屬管線的形狀非圓柱體時,則此金屬件的施工並不容易。 There is currently a device that coats the outer coating of a metal line with a metal piece, the outer coating of the metal piece and the metal line being respectively connected to the wire. The metal member is used as an electrode, and the two wires are used to measure the change in the impedance value between the metal member and the outer coating of the metal line to understand whether the external coating of the metal line is damaged. However, the above method has the disadvantage of applying a slight voltage to the metal line, and if the metal line is a flammable fluid, it is easy to generate gas. burst. In addition, the application of some micro voltage may also accelerate the corrosion of metal lines. Furthermore, if the shape of the metal pipe is not cylindrical, the construction of the metal member is not easy.

目前有另一種防蝕裝置,其是對欲防蝕的物件提供一適當的電壓,以抑制物件的腐蝕。然而,上述防蝕裝置的缺點上述裝置僅提供防蝕,但無法監測物件的腐蝕狀態。若物件表面已經產生腐蝕或有生物寄生,其無法校正基準值。再者,對物件提供電壓也可能加速對物件的腐蝕。 There is currently another anti-corrosion device that provides an appropriate voltage to the object to be protected to inhibit corrosion of the article. However, the above-mentioned corrosion preventing device has the disadvantage that the above device only provides corrosion protection, but cannot monitor the corrosion state of the object. If the surface of the object has been corroded or has biological parasitics, it cannot correct the reference value. Furthermore, providing voltage to an object may also accelerate corrosion of the object.

尚有另一種防蝕裝置,其是藉由以混凝土包覆欲防蝕的物件,並在混凝土外加設輔助陽極,以使施予物件的電壓降低,並產生較少的電解氣體。然而,上述裝置的包覆成本過高且施工不易,且雖然利用電壓防蝕但無法得知物件的腐蝕狀態。再者,仍無法克服須對物件施予電壓而造成加速腐蝕的缺點。 There is another anti-corrosion device which coats the object to be ablated with concrete and adds an auxiliary anode to the concrete to lower the voltage of the applied object and generate less electrolysis gas. However, the coating cost of the above apparatus is too high and the construction is not easy, and although the corrosion state of the object is not known by the voltage corrosion prevention. Moreover, it is still impossible to overcome the disadvantage of requiring accelerated voltage corrosion by applying a voltage to the object.

因此,根據上述的種種缺點,目前亟需提出一種金屬腐蝕監測系統及金屬腐蝕的監測方法,其不須對監測物件施予電壓或電流,並可在各種環境下,即時觀察監測物件的腐蝕狀況。 Therefore, according to the above various shortcomings, it is urgent to propose a metal corrosion monitoring system and a metal corrosion monitoring method, which do not need to apply voltage or current to the monitoring object, and can observe the corrosion state of the monitored object in real time under various environments. .

因此,本發明的一態樣在於提供一種金屬腐蝕監測系統,其不與監測物件電性連接,以避免加速腐蝕,但可即時觀察監測物件的腐蝕狀況。 Accordingly, an aspect of the present invention is to provide a metal corrosion monitoring system that is not electrically connected to a monitoring object to avoid accelerated corrosion, but can immediately observe the corrosion condition of the monitored object.

本發明的各種態樣在於提供一種金屬腐蝕監測系統和金屬腐蝕的監測方法。上述系統包含具有可產生脈衝訊號的晶片以及金屬材料之監測單元,其中金屬材料具有與監測物件相同的材料,且金屬材料的表面暴露於可能造成腐蝕之環境(後稱腐蝕環境)。所述的監測方法主要是藉由上述晶片對金屬材料的表面施加脈衝訊號,以獲得金屬材料的表面形貌資訊。進一步藉由比對事先建立的資料庫模組中與表面形貌相關的脈衝訊號資料,即可判定設置在腐蝕環境的金屬材料(與相同材料的監測物件)的腐蝕狀態。 Various aspects of the present invention are directed to providing a metal corrosion monitoring system and a method of monitoring metal corrosion. The above system comprises a wafer having a pulse signal and a monitoring unit for the metal material, wherein the metal material has the same material as the monitoring object, and the surface of the metal material is exposed to an environment which may cause corrosion (hereinafter referred to as a corrosive environment). The monitoring method mainly applies a pulse signal to the surface of the metal material by using the wafer to obtain surface topography information of the metal material. Further, by comparing the pulse signal data related to the surface topography in the previously established database module, the corrosion state of the metal material (the monitoring object with the same material) disposed in a corrosive environment can be determined.

本發明此處所稱之監測物件可例如為海上工作平台的鋼筋結構、地下埋管、船體、風力發電裝置、橋梁鋼筋結構等。 The monitoring object referred to in the present invention may be, for example, a steel structure of an offshore working platform, a buried pipe, a hull, a wind power generation device, a bridge steel structure, or the like.

本發明此處所稱之腐蝕環境可例如為海水、潮間帶、海濱地區、土壤中、風蝕環境或易發生生物附著的環境。 The corrosive environment referred to herein as "corrosion environment" may be, for example, seawater, intertidal zone, coastal area, soil, wind erosion environment or an environment susceptible to biological attachment.

本發明此處所稱之脈衝訊號是以波的形式在所述金屬材料的表面傳遞,而非電性訊號(例如電壓或電流)。利用脈衝訊號傳遞的優點在於不會因所施加的電流或電壓而對金屬材料或監測物件本身造成加速腐蝕,可更準確地觀察監測物件的腐蝕狀況,並不造成監測物件額外的損害。 The pulse signal referred to herein as a wave is transmitted in the form of a wave on the surface of the metal material, rather than an electrical signal (such as voltage or current). The advantage of using pulse signal transmission is that it does not cause accelerated corrosion of the metal material or the monitoring object itself due to the applied current or voltage, and can more accurately observe the corrosion condition of the monitored object without causing additional damage to the monitored object.

以下利用圖1至圖3說明本發明的金屬腐蝕監測系統。圖1為根據本發明的一些實施例繪示的金屬腐蝕監測系統的部分示意圖。圖2為根據本發明的另一些實施例繪示的金屬腐蝕監測系統的部分示意圖。而圖3為根據本發明的又一些實施例繪示的包含監測物件之金屬腐蝕監測系統的示意圖。 The metal corrosion monitoring system of the present invention will be described below using Figs. 1 is a partial schematic view of a metal corrosion monitoring system in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention. 2 is a partial schematic view of a metal corrosion monitoring system in accordance with further embodiments of the present invention. 3 is a schematic diagram of a metal corrosion monitoring system including a monitoring object according to still further embodiments of the present invention.

首先請先參考圖1,金屬腐蝕監測系統100可包含監測單元110、主控器120和監測物件(未繪示於圖1,請參圖3之監測物件330)。監測單元110進一步包含金屬材料111、脈衝訊號產生晶片113和包覆材115。金屬材料111具有第一表面111A和相對的第二表面111B,第一表面111A具有相對的第一端112和第二端114,且第一表面111A具有一表面形態。脈衝訊號產生晶片113設在第二表面111B上,且脈衝訊號產生晶片113包含訊號輸出端116與訊號輸入端118,訊號輸出端116與第一端112電性連接,且訊號輸入端118與第二端114電性連接。在一些實施 例中,脈衝訊號產生晶片113可包含但不限於任何市售或已知的單晶片、DSP晶片或其他種類的晶片。 Referring first to FIG. 1, the metal corrosion monitoring system 100 can include a monitoring unit 110, a main controller 120, and a monitoring object (not shown in FIG. 1, please refer to the monitoring object 330 of FIG. 3). The monitoring unit 110 further includes a metal material 111, a pulse signal generating wafer 113, and a cladding material 115. The metal material 111 has a first surface 111A and an opposite second surface 111B, the first surface 111A having opposite first and second ends 112, 114, and the first surface 111A having a surface morphology. The pulse signal generating chip 113 is disposed on the second surface 111B, and the pulse signal generating chip 113 includes a signal output end 116 and a signal input end 118. The signal output end 116 is electrically connected to the first end 112, and the signal input end 118 and the first The two ends 114 are electrically connected. In some implementations In one example, the pulse signal generating wafer 113 can include, but is not limited to, any commercially available or known single wafer, DSP wafer, or other type of wafer.

包覆材115包覆脈衝訊號產生晶片113。在一些實施例中,包覆材115包含高分子材料或金屬蓋。例如,包覆材115可使用環氧樹脂等常見的絕緣材料。包覆材115用於保護脈衝訊號產生晶片113不受外在腐蝕環境的影響,增加金屬腐蝕監測系統100的準確性並延長金屬腐蝕監測系統100的使用壽命。在一些實施例中,監測單元110是藉由包覆材115設置於監測物件(例如監測物件330)上。換言之,監測單元110的包覆材一側接觸並固定於監測物件的表面。 The cladding material 115 covers the pulse signal generating wafer 113. In some embodiments, the cladding material 115 comprises a polymeric material or a metal cover. For example, the covering member 115 may use a common insulating material such as an epoxy resin. The cladding material 115 is used to protect the pulse signal generating wafer 113 from the external corrosive environment, increase the accuracy of the metal corrosion monitoring system 100 and extend the service life of the metal corrosion monitoring system 100. In some embodiments, the monitoring unit 110 is disposed on the monitoring item (eg, the monitoring item 330) by the cladding material 115. In other words, the side of the cladding material of the monitoring unit 110 is in contact with and fixed to the surface of the monitoring article.

上述主控器120包含訊號放大器121和電腦123,其中電腦123與訊號放大器121電性連接。所述訊號放大器121和訊號輸入端118電性連接。在一些實施例中,訊號放大器121可用於將脈衝訊號轉換成電性訊號。在一些例子中,所述電性訊號可例如為電壓數值、電流數值或電阻數值。特別說明的是,本發明的金屬腐蝕監測系統在脈衝訊號傳送至訊號放大器時,才進行轉換,而非直接施予電壓或電流,從而可避免電壓或電流對金屬材料或監測物件的加速腐蝕。在一些實施例中,所述電腦123可包含資料庫模組122。資料庫模組122包含複數個脈衝訊號資料,且此些脈衝訊號資料可對應金屬材料111之表面形貌。 The main controller 120 includes a signal amplifier 121 and a computer 123. The computer 123 is electrically connected to the signal amplifier 121. The signal amplifier 121 and the signal input terminal 118 are electrically connected. In some embodiments, the signal amplifier 121 can be used to convert a pulse signal into an electrical signal. In some examples, the electrical signal can be, for example, a voltage value, a current value, or a resistance value. In particular, the metal corrosion monitoring system of the present invention performs the conversion when the pulse signal is transmitted to the signal amplifier, instead of directly applying the voltage or current, thereby avoiding accelerated corrosion of the metal material or the monitoring object by the voltage or current.

接著說明本發明之金屬腐蝕的監測方法。在一些實施例中,金屬腐蝕的監測方法可例如使用如上述的金屬腐蝕監測系統100、金屬腐蝕監測系統200或金屬腐蝕監測 系統300來進行。以下利用圖1至圖4說明本發明的監測方法,其中圖4為根據本發明的一些實施例繪示金屬腐蝕的監測方法400的示意流程圖。 Next, the method of monitoring metal corrosion of the present invention will be described. In some embodiments, the method of monitoring metal corrosion can be performed, for example, using metal corrosion monitoring system 100, metal corrosion monitoring system 200, or metal corrosion monitoring as described above. System 300 proceeds. The monitoring method of the present invention will now be described with reference to Figs. 1 through 4, wherein Fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart showing a method 400 of monitoring metal corrosion in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention.

為清楚說明監測方法400,此處僅以圖1的金屬腐蝕監測系統100及圖3的監測物件330進行說明。然而,於本技術領域具有通常知識者可了解,也可使用圖2的金屬腐蝕監測系統200來進行下述的監測方法400。 To clarify the monitoring method 400, only the metal corrosion monitoring system 100 of FIG. 1 and the monitoring object 330 of FIG. 3 are described herein. However, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the metal corrosion monitoring system 200 of FIG. 2 can also be used to perform the monitoring method 400 described below.

如圖4的步驟410所示,監測方法400首先將至少一監測單元110、固設於監測物件330上。接著,如步驟420所示,脈衝訊號產生晶片113產生第一脈衝訊號,並沿金屬材料111的第一表面111A傳遞,以形成第二脈衝訊號。具體而言,脈衝訊號產生晶片113是從訊號輸出端116對金屬材料111的第一端112施予第一脈衝訊號並傳遞至金屬材料111的第二端114,再由訊號輸入端118接收上述的第二脈衝訊號。 As shown in step 410 of FIG. 4, the monitoring method 400 first fixes at least one monitoring unit 110 to the monitoring object 330. Next, as shown in step 420, the pulse signal generating wafer 113 generates a first pulse signal and transmits it along the first surface 111A of the metal material 111 to form a second pulse signal. Specifically, the pulse signal generating chip 113 applies a first pulse signal to the first end 112 of the metal material 111 from the signal output end 116 and transmits the first pulse signal to the second end 114 of the metal material 111, and then receives the above by the signal input terminal 118.

然後,如步驟430所示,計算上述第一脈衝訊號和第二脈衝訊號之間的差值。在使用如圖1的監測單元110的實施例中,上述計算差值的步驟可於微處理器119中進行。在此實施例中,可在計算完差值後,經由訊號輸入端118將結果傳送至訊號放大器121中,再利用訊號放大器121將上述差值轉換為電性訊號,並傳輸至電腦123中。 Then, as shown in step 430, the difference between the first pulse signal and the second pulse signal is calculated.

In this embodiment, after the difference is calculated, the result is transmitted to the signal amplifier 121 via the signal input terminal 118, and the difference is converted into an electrical signal by the signal amplifier 121 and transmitted to the computer 123.

在另一些實施例中,可例如使用如圖2的監測單元210,則上述計算差值的步驟可於電腦223中進行。在此實施例中,第一脈衝訊號經由訊號輸出端216、而第二脈衝 訊號經由訊號輸入端218分別傳送至訊號放大器221中,將第一脈衝訊號和第二脈衝訊號分別轉換成電性訊號並傳送至電腦223中,才由電腦223進行差值的計算。前述之電性訊號可包含電流數值、電壓數值或電阻數值。 In other embodiments, the monitoring unit 210 of FIG. 2 can be used, for example, and the step of calculating the difference can be performed in the computer 223.

The aforementioned electrical signals may include current values, voltage values or resistance values.

接下來,如步驟440所示,將差值與資料庫模組中的複數個脈衝訊號資料進行比對,其中此些脈衝訊號資料可對應金屬材料111的表面形貌。在一些實施例中,資料庫模組包含於上述電腦123中。 Next, as shown in step 440, the difference is compared with a plurality of pulse signal data in the database module, wherein the pulse signal data can correspond to the surface topography of the metal material 111. In some embodiments, the database module is included in the computer 123 described above.

在一些實施例中,本發明的監測方法更包含建立上述資料庫模組中的脈衝訊號資料。首先,建立相當於前述腐蝕環境的環境因子模型,所述環境因子可例如為海水濃度、海水溫度、海水導電度、海洋生物種類、流速、漂砂量、海風及大型天災頻率等。在一實施例中,上述環境因子模型可在實驗室規模下進行,以便於資料的收集及記錄。請參考圖5A至圖5C,其為在上述環境因子的腐蝕環境中本發明之監測單元的金屬材料的各種表面形貌的示意圖。在上述環境中使用監測單元510持續紀錄金屬材料511的表面變化,其中監測單元510的各部件與監測單元110或監測單元210相同,此處不另贅述。監測單元510放入上述環境中後,以特定時間間隔對金屬材料511施予脈衝訊號(如前述步驟420),以獲得對應在特定環境因子中,隨時間改變的金屬材料511表面形貌所對應的脈衝訊號資料。 In some embodiments, the monitoring method of the present invention further includes establishing pulse signal data in the database module. First, an environmental factor model corresponding to the aforementioned corrosive environment is established, and the environmental factors may be, for example, seawater concentration, seawater temperature, seawater conductivity, marine species, flow rate, amount of sand drift, sea breeze, and large natural disaster frequency. In one embodiment, the environmental factor model described above can be performed on a laboratory scale to facilitate data collection and recording. Please refer to FIG. 5A to FIG. 5C, which are schematic diagrams showing various surface topography of the metal material of the monitoring unit of the present invention in the corrosive environment of the above environmental factors. The monitoring unit 510 is used to continuously record the surface change of the metal material 511 in the above environment, wherein the components of the monitoring unit 510 are the same as the monitoring unit 110 or the monitoring unit 210, and are not described herein. After the monitoring unit 510 is placed in the above environment, the metal material 511 is pulsed at a specific time interval (step 420 as described above) to obtain a surface topography corresponding to the metal material 511 that changes with time in a specific environmental factor. Pulse signal data.

以下利用圖5A至圖5C說明利用表面形貌改變來建立資料庫模組的脈衝訊號資料的方法。具體而言,如圖 5A所示,剛放入腐蝕環境的金屬材料511具有平整的表面形貌520,此時表面形貌520可對應脈衝訊號資料(即上述的差值)V0。接著,隨放置時間的增加,經上述腐蝕環境的腐蝕,產生金屬材料511的表面形貌530,如圖5B所示,此時表面形貌530可對應脈衝訊號資料V1。然後,繼續放置金屬材料511於腐蝕環境中,則形成如圖5C所示的表面形貌540,此時表面形貌540可對應脈衝訊號資料V2。本發明此處雖只舉三組脈衝訊號資料,然依照腐蝕環境及腐蝕程度的不同需求,可增加更多組的脈衝訊號資料。在一些實施例中,上述資料庫的建立可利用類神經網路等之方式進行自主學習,以便於更大量的資料收集。 The method of establishing the pulse signal data of the database module by using the surface topography change will be described below using FIG. 5A to FIG. 5C. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5A, the metal material 511 just placed in a corrosive environment has a flat surface topography 520, and the surface topography 520 can correspond to the pulse signal data (ie, the difference described above) V 0 . Then, with increasing time of placement, by etching said corrosive environment, resulting in surface topography 530 of the metal material 511, as shown in FIG. 5B, at this time the surface topography data pulse signal 530 may correspond to V 1. Then, the metal material 511 is continuously placed in a corrosive environment to form a surface topography 540 as shown in FIG. 5C, and the surface topography 540 may correspond to the pulse signal data V 2 . Although the invention only refers to three sets of pulse signal data, according to the different requirements of the corrosive environment and the degree of corrosion, more groups of pulse signal data can be added. In some embodiments, the establishment of the above-mentioned database can be autonomously learned by means of a neural network, etc., to facilitate a larger amount of data collection.

本發明之監測方法400更包含定義表面形貌的基準值,此基準值代表金屬材料511腐蝕程度的極限值(意即,當達到此腐蝕程度(或表面形貌)時,需由系統進行通知以更換/維修監測物件)。 The monitoring method 400 of the present invention further includes a reference value defining a surface topography, which represents a limit value of the degree of corrosion of the metal material 511 (that is, when the degree of corrosion (or surface topography) is reached, the system needs to notify To replace/maintain monitoring objects).

如步驟450所示,在進行比對後,判斷監測物件330的腐蝕程度。具體而言,上述腐蝕程度的判斷是藉由判斷差值是否達到上述基準值來進行。在一些實施例中,以圖5C的表面形貌540做為上述的基準值,當監測單元110的金屬材料111所測量到的差值與脈衝訊號資料V2相同或接近時,則需進行監測物件330的維修更換。 As shown in step 450, after the comparison is made, the degree of corrosion of the monitored article 330 is determined. Specifically, the determination of the degree of corrosion is performed by determining whether the difference reaches the above reference value. In some embodiments, the surface topography 540 of FIG. 5C is used as the above reference value. When the difference measured by the metal material 111 of the monitoring unit 110 is the same as or close to the pulse signal data V 2 , monitoring is required. Repair and replacement of the object 330.

應用本發明的金屬腐蝕監測系統與金屬腐蝕的監測方法,藉由對參考用的金屬材料的表面而非監測物件本身施予以波形式傳遞的脈衝訊號,量測金屬材料的表面形貌 並將此表面形貌對應到事先建立的資料庫模組中的多組脈衝訊號資料,從而可即時得知參考用的金屬材料的表面形貌。當上述表面形貌達到資料庫模組中定義的需更換維修監測物件的基準值時,則由系統發出通知,從而可達成主動式防蝕監測。 The metal corrosion monitoring system and the metal corrosion monitoring method of the present invention are used to measure the surface topography of the metal material by applying a pulse signal to the surface of the reference metal material instead of the monitoring object itself. The surface topography is matched to a plurality of sets of pulse signal data in a previously established database module, so that the surface topography of the reference metal material can be instantly known. When the surface topography reaches the reference value of the maintenance monitoring object defined in the database module, the system issues a notification, so that active corrosion monitoring can be achieved.

本發明的優點在於,使用脈衝訊號搭配參考用的金屬材料,可不直接對監測物件施予電流或電壓等,從而可避免對監測物件的加速腐蝕。此外,主動式防蝕監測可降低監測物件的維護成本,具備線上即時了解結構現況及預知保養的功能,從而可降低監測費用及監測物件更換人員的危險性。再者,使用脈衝訊號的監測方式使得本發明的監測系統可適用於各種環境(導電、不導電、易燃等環境)。 The invention has the advantages that the pulse signal is matched with the reference metal material, and the current or voltage is not directly applied to the monitoring object, so that the accelerated corrosion of the monitoring object can be avoided. In addition, active anti-corrosion monitoring can reduce the maintenance cost of monitored objects, and provide online real-time understanding of the structure and predictive maintenance functions, thereby reducing monitoring costs and monitoring the risk of object replacement personnel. Moreover, the monitoring method using the pulse signal makes the monitoring system of the present invention applicable to various environments (conducting, non-conductive, flammable, etc.).
