The magnetic structure component is composed of an armature 14, a permanent magnet 18, pole shoes 16, a side wing fixing plate 6, a walking caster 7 and a walking caster support shaft 15 which form a magnetic bridge structure (wherein the armature 14 is a curved surface structure which conforms to a certain specific curvature, and the two pole shoes are respectively fixed at the front end and the rear end of the armature through permanent magnets to form a bridge structure), the whole magnetic bridge structure is fixed on the side wing fixing plate 6 (the bottom edge of the side wing fixing plate is preferably the same as the curvature of a tank body to be detected), and walking is realized through the walking caster 7 which is sleeved on the support shaft 15 (as shown in figure 1; the walking casters in the magnetizing structure assembly and the driving casters in the traction driving assembly are internally tangent to the inner surface (preferably, a 2450 mm-diameter cylinder) of the storage tank body to be detected, so that the device can move circumferentially along the inner surface of the cylindrical underground storage tank body, and the curvature radius of the magnetic bridge structure can be changed as required to adapt to circumferential detection of the inner surfaces of storage tanks or tank cars with different specifications.
The magnetic-electric signal conversion and positioning component comprises a sensor array group 17 positioned on the armature through a height adjusting component, a transmission joint used for deriving detection data of the sensor array group and an encoder positioning component used for determining a detection position; the detected defect leakage magnetic field is converted into an electric signal which can be processed by a computer through the sensor array group, and the electric signal is transmitted to an external processing terminal through the transmission joint and the data transmission line to be analyzed and processed.
The magnetic sensor adopted by the sensor array group is a Hall sensor which is horizontally arranged relative to the detection surface and used for detecting a magnetic leakage signal; the interval of the Hall sensor array arrangement is 5mm-7mm, and the plurality of Hall sensors form the array length of a magnetic sensor group (namely a sensor array group); these are all of conventional configuration.
The height adjusting assembly is structurally characterized in that: the two adjusting screws 23 are respectively sleeved with the height adjusting springs 19, the bottom ends of the two adjusting screws are fixed on the back of the sensor array group mounting plate, and the top ends of the two adjusting screws penetrate through the armature upwards and are then respectively screwed and fixed with the two height adjusting nuts 12 one by one.

Because the magnetizing structure assembly has a certain curvature, certain magnetic field nonuniformity exists in the horizontal distribution of the magnetic sensor array, and therefore, the calibration curve of all the sensors is determined to have large error by using the traditional one-time calibration. In order to reduce the error, the magnetic sensor group is uniformly divided into a left group, a middle group and a right group for respective calibration, and in order to rapidly calibrate the three groups of sensors at one time, a calibration plate with three groups of defects is adopted for calibration. The three groups of defects are spaced at intervals in the horizontal and vertical directions in consideration of interference between the defects to signals. During calibration, the middle position of the magnetic sensor array set is aligned with the middle set of defects. After calibration, characteristic signal values of 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% of four defects corresponding to each sensor can be obtained, and respective detection calibration curves and fitted curve slopes are formed. And setting the final detection calibration curve of each sensor in the left, middle and right three groups of magnetic sensors as the calibration curve with the maximum curve slope of each group.

The magnetic sensor group is uniformly divided into a left group, a middle group and a right group for respective calibration, and the middle position of the magnetic sensor array group is aligned to the group of defects in the middle of the calibration plate during calibration. After calibration, characteristic signal values of four defects of 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% on a calibration plate corresponding to each sensor can be obtained, and according to grouping of three groups of sensors, the sensor with the largest characteristic signal value in each group is taken as a characteristic sensor, so that three characteristic sensors are determined. The detection calibration curve of each characteristic sensor can be obtained according to linear fitting of the characteristic signal values of the four defects of each characteristic sensor, which are obtained from the calibration plate. And assigning the detection calibration curve of each group of characteristic sensors to other sensors in the group to finally obtain the detection calibration curve of each magnetic sensor.

And obtaining the equivalent of the corrosion defect of the detected storage tank through the detection calibration curve of the magnetic sensor.
The signal processing steps are as follows:
(1) performing first-order difference processing on the signal y1(n) ═ x (n) -x (n-1);
(2) performing low-pass digital filtering processing on the signal y2(n) ═ y1(n) × h1 (n);
(3) inverse processing of the signal y3(N) ═ y2(N-1-N)
(4) Performing high-pass digital filtering processing on the signal y4(n) ═ y3(n) × h2 (n);
