Background technology
Ultrasonic phase array focus deflection theory shows, as long as exciting one group by relatively independent piezoelectricity according to certain rule
The ultrasonic phase array sensor array of chip composition, it is real with regard to the wave beam that each array element is launched can be made superposition, deflection and other effects occur
Focusing of the existing sound wave at any point;Thus ultrasonic phase array focus deflection method can be such that acoustic energy assembles in certain area, press down
Decay of the sound wave processed in communication process.
Fig. 1 is focusing ultrasonic wave schematic diagram, and one group of probe is first excited according to two ends, and the time sequencing excited behind centre swashs
One group of ultrasonic wave is encouraged out, then the situation of superposition occurs in the ultrasonic wave that each probe is motivated during propagating forward, makes
Wave surface it is less and less, energy is increasingly concentrated, and is finally focused on a bit, that is, realizes the focusing of ultrasonic wave.
Fig. 2 is that ultrasonic wave deflects schematic diagram, one group of probe is first excited according to left end, the time sequencing excited after right-hand member swashs
One group of ultrasonic wave is encouraged out, then the situation of superposition occurs in the ultrasonic wave that each probe is motivated during propagating forward, makes
Wave surface is less and less, energy is increasingly concentrated, and wave surface can be deflected to certain direction, finally be focused on a bit, i.e.,
Realize the deflection focusing of ultrasonic wave.
Time reversal acoustic theory shows, defect in propagation process of sound wave similar one new passive wave source to sensor
The initial sonic waves of excitation are reflected, while producing new conversion mode, are carried out by the echo-signal received to sensor
Time reversal processing, and it is loaded into transmitting in model using the signal after processing as new wave source, you can realize sound wave in defect
The self-focusing at place.
In simple terms, i.e., one group of ultrasonic wave is motivated simultaneously with one group of ultrasonic probe, according to Huygen's principle, works as ultrasound
Ripple pops one's head in the ultrasonic wave launched as the ultrasonic source of active when reaching defect in flat board, defect can be considered as one it is passive
Ultrasonic source outwards launches ultrasonic wave, and this is that our imaginations there may be a video camera, records the super of defect transmitting
Sound wave reaches the process of each ultrasonic probe, and this process is referred to as the ultrasonic signal with defect information by ultrasonic probe
The process of reception.Then we turn the image recorded around projection, i.e., shown from piece Caudad head, at this moment we can see
The process for emitting and being focused in fault location to one group of ultrasonic signal from probe, and first receive the probe of ultrasonic wave after the meeting
Motivate ultrasonic wave, after receive the probe of ultrasonic wave and can first motivate ultrasonic wave, i.e., after the arriving first of so-called signal hair and after arrive
First send out, this process is referred to as process of the ultrasonic wave in fault location self-focusing.And the process for turning image around projection is to visiting
The echo-signal that head is received carries out the process of time reversal processing.
Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram of time reversal, and solid line represents the ultrasound sent from ultrasonic probe as active wave source in figure
Ripple reaches the process of defect, and this group of sound wave is to encourage simultaneously;Dotted line represents the ultrasound that defect is launched as passive wave source in figure
The process that ripple echo-signal is received by ultrasonic probe;Figure chain lines represent to carry out ultrasonic echo signal (dotted line is represented)
It is re-loaded in ultrasonic probe and is launched after time reversal, in the process of fault location self-focusing.
Because ultrasonic wave is decayed comparatively fast in communication process, therefore the defect time reversal imaging technique of comparative maturity at present
It is many that mode is laid using circular workpiece formula sensor array as shown in Figure 3;But this sensor lays mode and there is following office
Limit:
(1) number of sensors of arrangement is more, data processing complex;
(2) because sensor array column wrap workpiece is arranged, therefore the size of detection workpiece is limited, is not suitable for large-scale workpiece
Detection.
At present, using more laid around workpiece formula sensor array the flat-panel defect time reversal imaging technique of comparative maturity
Mode.This sensor array lays mode can only be with being detected, to big in certain thickness and the significant structural member of defect
The detection of type component can only be realized by a series of scanning, thus can not realize the efficient quick detection to large-scale plate.

The ultrasonic phase array sensor array is classified as linear array transducer, there is N+1 array element, if acoustic beam is F in depth,
Deflection angle completes focus deflection for θ position, then the focusing delay time t needed for sensor iiFor:
Wherein, d is array element spacing,For the velocity of sound, θ is deflection angle.
It is that the focusing to any point P (x, y) in detection object can be achieved using above-mentioned formula, sensor array element 0, sensing
Device array element N and focus point P (x, y) constitute a triangle, and the triangle encloses region and is considered as effective detection area.
If wanting to realize the complete detection to large area sheet material, only need to suitably choose multiple focus points is focused.Such as
The power of fruit ultrasonic array is sufficiently large, and focus point P can be with chosen distance ultrasonic array unlimited distance, therefore our law theory
On can realize the quick detection to unlimited large-area sheet material.If existing defects in effective detection zone, due to each sensor
It is different from the distance of defect, thus from excitation ultrasonic wave to the time received needed for the echo-signal comprising defect information also not phase
Together.
Time reversal refers to sensor after echo-signal is received, and carries out time reversal processing to it, is then made
It is loaded into model and launches for new wave source, realizes and sent out after the arriving first of signal, it is rear to first sending out.
