Diagnosis device for joint of sheet metal and method of diagnosing defect of joint of sheet metal using the same
View Patent ↗There is provided a diagnosis device of a joint of sheet metal, including: a detector that irradiates an ultrasonic wave to a diagnosis object including a first medium and a second medium having a joint, and senses a reflection signal reflected from the joint and a reflection signal reflected from the joint and thereafter, reflected toward the joint on an inner surface of the first medium; a delay material positioned between the detector and the diagnosis object to delay the reflection signal; and a diagnoser that calculates and displays a signal ratio by receiving the reflection signals sensed by the detector.
1. A diagnosis device of a joint of sheet metal, the device comprising:
a detector that irradiates an ultrasonic wave to a diagnosis object including a first medium and a second medium having a joint, and senses a first reflection signal reflected from the joint and a second reflection signal reflected from the joint and thereafter, reflected toward the joint on an inner surface of the first medium;
a delay material positioned between the detector and the diagnosis object to delay the first reflection signal and the second reflection signal; and
a diagnoser that calculates and displays a signal ratio of the first reflection signal and the second reflection signal by receiving the reflection signals sensed by the detector.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein:
the delay material is configured to distinguish an additional reflection signal of the surface of the first medium, and the first reflection signal and the second reflection signal of the joint by delaying a time required for the ultrasonic wave irradiated from the detector to reach the diagnosis object.
3. The device of claim 2 , wherein:
the diagnoser displays a calculation value F corresponding to the signal ratio of the first and second reflection signals sequentially reflected from the joint by a numerical value or as part of a distribution diagram.
4. The device of claim 3 , wherein:
the calculation value F has a relationship equation of Rb (a joint reflection coefficient in which the ultrasonic wave transmits the first medium and thereafter, is reflected from the joint)×Rs (a first medium inner surface reflection coefficient in which the ultrasonic wave is reflected on the inner surface of the first medium and irradiated to the joint).
5. A method of diagnosing a defect of a joint of sheet metal, the method comprising:
a device preparation step of preparing a sheet metal joint diagnosis device including a detector that irradiates an ultrasonic wave to a diagnosis object including a first medium and a second medium having a joint, and senses a first reflection signal reflected from the joint and a second reflection signal reflected from the joint and thereafter, reflected toward the joint on an inner surface of the first medium, a delay material positioned between the detector and the diagnosis object to delay the first reflection signal and the second reflection signal, and a diagnoser that calculates and displays a signal ratio of the first reflection signal and the second reflection signal by receiving the first and second reflection signals sensed by the detector;
an ultrasonic wave irradiating step of irradiating the ultrasonic wave to the diagnosis object; and
a joint diagnosis step of displaying a calculation value F corresponding to the signal ratio of the first and second reflection signals sequentially reflected from the joint by a numerical value or as part of a distribution diagram.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein:
in the joint diagnosis step,
the calculation value F has a relationship equation of Rb (a joint reflection coefficient in which the ultrasonic wave transmits the first medium and thereafter, is reflected from the joint)×Rs (a first medium inner surface reflection coefficient in which the ultrasonic wave is reflected on the inner surface of the first medium and irradiated to the joint).
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein:
in the joint diagnosis step,
the delay material distinguishes an additional reflection signal of the surface of the first medium, and the first reflection signal and the second reflection signal of the joint by delaying a time required for the ultrasonic wave irradiated from the detector to reach the diagnosis object.
