- control unit 134 functions as the determination unit 134a. Based on the vibration information received from the pulsar receiver 132, the determination unit 134a determines a bonding failure (whether there is a scratch) on the inspection surface (bonding surface S).
- the ultrasonic flaw detector 100 transmits an ultrasonic beam to the inspection surface (joint surface S) of the inspection object (structure 50). Then, the ultrasonic flaw detector 100 receives and analyzes the ultrasonic waves reflected (or diffracted and scattered) within the inspectable range. Thereby, the ultrasonic flaw detection apparatus 100 performs flaw detection in the inspectable range. More specifically, ultrasonic waves have a characteristic that they are reflected at the boundary between substances having different densities. For this reason, when a defect such as a scratch exists in the inspectable range, the ultrasonic wave is reflected at the boundary between the defect and the surrounding portion. Therefore, the ultrasonic flaw detection apparatus 100 can grasp the presence / absence of a defect, the position of the defect, the shape of the defect, and the like by receiving and analyzing the reflected ultrasonic wave.
- the inspectable range is a range on the inspection surface where the ultrasonic beam irradiated from the transmission probe 110 is incident and the reflected ultrasonic wave reaches the reception probe 120.
- FIG. 3A is a diagram for explaining an inspectable range and a necessary inspection range in the conventional ultrasonic flaw detector 10.
- FIG. 3B is a diagram for explaining an inspectable range and a necessary inspection range in the ultrasonic flaw detector 100.
- the flow path 52 is shown in gray, and the ultrasonic beam and the reflected ultrasonic wave are shown in hatching.
- the conventional ultrasonic flaw detector 10 is provided with a transmission window 22 on the opposing surface portion 20 a of the transmission probe 20.
- the ultrasonic beam transmitted through the transmission window 22 goes straight in the incident direction (transmission direction) while widening the beam width (in FIG. 3A, the edges of the ultrasonic beam are indicated by arrows a1 and a2).
- the vibrator that transmits ultrasonic waves has a certain size. For this reason, the beam width of the ultrasonic beam is increased to some extent. Therefore, when the required inspection range (joint surface S) is as narrow as about 5 mm, the required inspection range is narrower than the inspectable range.
- the reception probe 30 indicates the ultrasonic waves reflected outside the inspection required range (a range larger than the outer edge of the inspection required range) (in FIG. 3A, the reflected ultrasonic edges are indicated by arrows b1 and b2). ) Is also received (pick up).
- the angle of the transmission window 118 with respect to the inspection surface and the angle of the reception window 128 with respect to the inspection surface are such that the ultrasonic waves reflected outside the inspection required range do not reach the reception window 128.
- a transmission probe 110 and a reception probe 120 are arranged.
- the transmission window 118 is provided on the side surface portion 112b erected at a right angle from the facing surface portion 112a (surface facing the inspection surface).
- the receiving window 128 is provided in the side part 122b erected at right angles from the opposing surface part 122a (surface facing an inspection surface).
- the transmission probe 110 and the reception probe 120 are set so that the distance between the transmission window 118 and the reception window 128 is slightly larger than the width of the inspection required range (the width in the X-axis direction in FIG. 3). Is arranged.
- the incident direction of the edge portion A1 on the transmission probe 110 side of the ultrasonic beam transmitted from the transmission window 118 is limited by the side surface portion 112b. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the ultrasonic beam is incident on the facing surface portion 112a side from the side surface portion 112b. Further, the edge A1 of the ultrasonic beam reaches inside the edge FS on the transmission probe 110 side in the inspection required range. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which a reflected wave is generated in the flow path 52 located below the facing surface portion 112a.
- the edge A2 on the reception probe 120 side of the ultrasonic beam transmitted from the transmission window 118 has no obstacle that restricts the incident direction. For this reason, the ultrasonic beam transmitted from the transmission window 118 enters the reception probe 120 side (outside) from the inspection required range. Therefore, a reflected wave is generated in the range (beam width range) from the edge A1 to the edge A2 of the ultrasonic beam. That is, a reflected wave is generated not only in the inspection required range but also in the flow path 52 on the reception probe 120 side.
- the receiving window 128 of the present embodiment is provided not on the facing surface portion 122a but on the side surface portion 122b. Therefore, the reception window 128 does not receive the reflected wave (indicated by N in FIG. 3B) that reaches the facing surface portion 122a of the reception probe 120. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the reflected wave generated in the flow path 52 on the reception probe 120 side reaches the reception window 128. Thereby, it is possible to remove noise derived from the flow path 52. In this way, only the reflected wave generated within the inspection required range reaches the reception window 128, and it is possible to detect the inspection required range with high accuracy.
- FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the processing flow of the ultrasonic flaw detection method.
- the ultrasonic wave reflected from the inspection window (bonding surface S) and the angle of the transmission window 118 with respect to the inspection surface (bonding surface S) and the angle of the reception window 128 with respect to the inspection surface (bonding surface S) is reflected by the reception window.
- the transmission probe 110 and the reception probe 120 are installed so that the relationship does not reach 128 (installation step S110).
- control unit 134 controls the pulsar receiver 132 to cause the transmission probe 110 to transmit an ultrasonic beam from the transmission window 118 toward the inspection required range (transmission step S120).
- the ultrasonic beam is incident on the inspection object, and a reflected wave (or diffracted wave, scattered wave) is generated in the inspection required range.
- the reception probe 120 converts the vibration based on the ultrasonic wave received through the reception window 128 into an electric signal and outputs it to the pulser receiver 132 (reception step S130).
- the pulsar receiver 132 converts the electrical signal input from the reception probe 120 into vibration information and transmits the vibration information to the control unit 134.
- the determination part 134a of the control part 134 determines the presence or absence of the damage

That is, the ultrasonic flaw detector 100 may detect the joint surface S by bringing the facing surface portion 112a and the facing surface portion 122a into contact with the bottom surface 62a of the partition wall 60.

Description
図1(a)は、超音波探傷装置100の使用形態を説明するための第1の図である。図1(b)は、超音波探傷装置100の使用形態を説明するための第2の図である。図1(c)は、超音波探傷装置100の使用形態を説明するための第3の図である。本実施形態の図1(a)をはじめ以下の図では、垂直に交わるX軸(水平方向)、Y軸(水平方向)、Z軸(鉛直方向)を図示の通り定義している。また、本実施形態では、超音波探傷装置100の検査対象物として構造物50(例えば、リアクタ)を例に挙げて説明する。
続いて、超音波探傷装置100を用いた超音波探傷方法の処理の流れを説明する。図4は、超音波探傷方法の処理の流れを説明するフローチャートである。図4に示すように、まず、検査面(接合面S)に対する送信窓118の角度および検査面(接合面S)に対する受信窓128の角度が、検査必要範囲外で反射した超音波が受信窓128に到達しない関係となるように、送信探触子110および受信探触子120が設置される(設置工程S110)。そして、制御部134は、パルサレシーバ132を制御して、送信探触子110に送信窓118から検査必要範囲に向けて超音波ビームを送信させる(送信工程S120)。こうして、超音波ビームが検査対象物に入射され、検査必要範囲において反射波(または、回折波、散乱波)が生じる。
図5は、第1の変形例の超音波探傷装置100を説明する図である。なお、図5中、理解を容易にするために、溝部66をグレーの塗りつぶしで示し、超音波ビームおよび反射した超音波をハッチングで示す。
図6(a)は、第2の変形例の超音波探傷装置200を説明する第1の図である。図6(b)は、第2の変形例の超音波探傷装置200を説明する第2の図である。なお、図6(a)、図6(b)中、理解を容易にするために、流路52をグレーの塗りつぶしで示し、超音波ビームおよび反射した超音波をハッチングで示す。
