펄스유도자속을 이용한 배관감육 탐상장치 및 탐상방법{Apparatus and Method for detecting the wall thinning of pipeline using pulse magnetic field}Apparatus and Method for detecting the wall thinning of pipeline using pulse magnetic field}

본 발명은 배관감육 탐상장치로서, 절연재로 감싸진 발전소 배관의 감육을, 절연재를 해체하지 않고 비파괴적으로 검출할 수 있는 펄스유도자속을 이용한 배관감육 탐상장치 및 탐상방법에 관한 것이다.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pipe thinning flaw detector and a flaw detection method using a pulse induction magnetic flux that can non-destructively detect thinning of power plant piping wrapped with an insulating material without disassembling the insulating material.

현재의 기술은 배관의 감육측정에 초음파를 이용하거나 배관 내부에 보빈형 탐촉자를 삽입하여 펄스와전류로 감육을 측정하는 기술이 고안되었으나, 초음파 기술을 적용하기 위하여는 배관 표면의 보온재를 해체하여 배관 표면에 직접 탐촉자를 부착하여야 한다.Current technology has been devised to measure thinning by pulse and current by using ultrasonic wave to measure the thinning of pipe or by inserting bobbin-type transducer inside the pipe. The transducers shall be attached directly to them.

즉, 기존의 초음파를 이용한 감육평가기술은 열손실을 방지하기 위하여 배관의 표면을 둘러싸고 있는 보온재를 해체한 후, 배관 표면에 직접 탐촉자를 부착하여야 한다.
In other words, conventional thinning evaluation technology using ultrasonic waves has to remove the insulation surrounding the surface of the pipe to prevent heat loss, and then attach the transducer directly to the pipe surface.

In addition, the bobbin-type pulse eddy current described in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2006-0010114 should insert a bobbin into a pipe.

도면을 참조하면, 본 발명은 도 5에서와 같이 컴퓨터가 연결되어, 펄스유도자속을 이용한 배관감육 탐상장치의 작동 및 탐상결과를 그 화면에 디스플레이 하면서, 여러 가지에 대한 탐상결과치를 그래프로 나타낼 수 있다.
Referring to the drawings, the present invention can be connected to a computer as shown in Figure 5, while displaying the results of the screening results for various screens while operating and inspecting the results of the pipe thinning flaw detection apparatus using the pulse induction flux on the screen have.

상기와 같이 구성되는 본 발명은 피검체(1)의 감육 또는 두께변화의 검사가 상기 피검체(1)를 감싸는 절연재(2) 외부에서 가능하도록 한다.
The present invention configured as described above allows the inspection of the thickness or thickness change of the inspected object 1 to be possible from the outside of the insulating material 2 surrounding the inspected object 1.

한편, 본 발명에 의한 배관감육 탐상방법을 살펴보기로 한다.On the other hand, the pipe thinning inspection method according to the present invention will be described.

먼저, 자화요크(42)에 권취된 코일부(44)에 펄스전원을 공급하여 펄스자기장을 형성시킨다.First, pulse power is supplied to the coil unit 44 wound around the magnetizing yoke 42 to form a pulse magnetic field.

이어서, 상기 펄스자기장에 의해 피검체(1)에 유도된 펄스유도자속을 자기센서(46)로 탐지한다.
Subsequently, the magnetic sensor 46 detects the pulse induction flux induced in the subject 1 by the pulse magnetic field.

그런 다음, 상기 피검체(1)의 두께차이에 의하여 상기 펄스유도자속에서 변화가 발생되는 경우, 자기센서(46)가 측정신호를 발생한다.Then, when a change occurs in the pulse induction flux due to the thickness difference of the subject 1, the magnetic sensor 46 generates a measurement signal.

다음으로, 증폭회로(60)에 의해 측정신호를 증폭 및 필터링 한다.Next, the amplification circuit 60 amplifies and filters the measurement signal.

마지막으로, 신호처리부(80)가 증폭 및 필터링된 상기 측정신호를 처리하여 피검체(1)의 감육 또는 두께변화를 검출한다.
Finally, the signal processing unit 80 processes the amplified and filtered measurement signal to detect the thickness or thickness change of the subject 1.

이에 더하여, 상기 증폭 및 필터링된 측정신호를 신호처리기법에 의해 푸리에 변환하여 피검체(1)의 감육 또는 두께변화를 평가할 수 있다.
In addition, the amplified and filtered measurement signals may be Fourier transformed by a signal processing technique to evaluate the thickness or thickness change of the subject 1.

결과적으로, 본 발명은 절연재(2)로 감싸진 발전소 배관의 감육을, 절연재(2)를 해체하지 않고 비파괴적으로 평가할 수 있다.As a result, the present invention can non-destructively evaluate the thinning of power plant piping wrapped with the insulating material 2 without dismantling the insulating material 2.

이는 펄스폭이 짧은 펄스전류를 코일부(44)에 인가하여 발생하는 펄스자기장을 밀폐형 자화요크(42)를 사용하여 누설을 최소화하면서, 금속인 배관에 펄스유도자속을 유도되게하여, 상기 펄스유도자속을 자기센서(46)를 이용하여 측정함으로써, 배관의 두께변화와 결함을 디스플레이기 등을 통해 영상화할 수 있다.
This causes the pulse magnetic field generated by applying a pulse current having a short pulse width to the coil unit 44 to induce a pulse induced magnetic flux in a metal pipe while minimizing leakage using the sealed magnetization yoke 42, thereby inducing the pulse induction. By measuring the magnetic flux using the magnetic sensor 46, it is possible to image the thickness change and defects of the pipe through a display or the like.

이상과 같이, 본 발명은 비록 한정된 실시예와 도면에 의해 설명되었으나, 본 발명은 이것에 의해 한정되지 않으며 본 발명이 속하는 기술분야에서 통상의 지식을 가진 자에 의해 본 발명의 기술사상과 아래에 기재될 특허청구범위의 균등범위 내에서 다양한 수정 및 변형 가능함은 물론이다.

It is to be understood that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the appended claims.
