Definitions

- a thin steel strip 10 is guided to the outer peripheral surface of the hollow hole 1 of the magnetic detector.
- a pair of guide rolls 14a and 14b are provided.
- one end of the fixed shaft 2 penetrates through the center of the hollow roll 1 made of a non-magnetic material.
- the other end of the fixed shaft 2 is fixed to the horizontal arm 12.
- the fixed shaft 2 is supported by the inner peripheral surfaces at both ends of the hollow roll 1 so that the fixed shaft 2 is positioned on the center axis of the hollow roll 1 —a pair of rolling bearings 3a and 3b. Therefore, the hollow roll 1 freely rotates about the fixed shaft 2 as the center of rotation.
- a magnetized iron core 4c having a substantially U-shaped cross section is fixed in the hollow roll 1 via the support member 5 in such a manner that the magnetic poles 4a and 4b are close to the inner peripheral surface of the hollow roll 1.
- a magnetizing coil 6 is wound around the magnetized iron core 4c. Therefore, the magnetizer 4 is composed of the magnetized iron core 4 c and the magnetized coil 6.
- a magnetic sensor group 7 in which a plurality of magnetic sensors 7a are linearly arranged in the axial direction between the magnetic poles 4a and 4b of the magnetized iron core 4c is fixed to the fixed shaft 2.
- a power cable 8 for supplying an exciting current to the magnetizing coil 6 and a signal cable 9 for extracting the output signal of each magnetic sensor 7a of the magnetic sensor group 7 are led out through the fixed shaft 2 to the outside. I have. Therefore, the positions of the magnetizer 4 and the magnetic sensor group 7 are fixed, and the hollow roll 1 rotates around the outer periphery of the magnetizer 4 and the magnetic sensor group 7 with a small gap.
- a closed magnetic path is formed by the magnetic poles 4a and 4b of the magnetized iron core 4c and the running thin steel strip 10. Is done. If there is a defect inside or on the surface of the thin steel strip 10, the magnetic resistance in the thin steel strip 10 changes, and a leakage magnetic flux is generated. This leakage magnetic flux is detected by the magnetic sensor 7 a facing the corresponding defect position constituting the magnetic sensor group 7. Then, a signal indicating the presence of the corresponding defect is output from the magnetic sensor 7a.
- the signal level corresponds to the size of the defect inside or on the surface of the steel strip 10
- the signal level inside or on the surface of the steel strip 10 is measured. The location and size of existing defects in the width direction can be grasped.o
- each magnetic sensor 7a is disposed at the center of each magnetic pole 4a, 4b.
- the reason for arranging it at this central position is as follows.
- FIG. 47 is a diagram schematically depicting a main part of the magnetic detection device shown in FIGS. 46A and 46B.
- This magnetic detecting device is arranged opposite to each of the magnetic poles 4a and 4b in a state where the thin steel strip 10 having no defect is stationary. Then, the magnetization coil 6 is DC-excited. Then, a magnetic field is generated near the magnetic poles 4a and 4b. As shown in the figure, this magnetic field has a sinusoidal vertical magnetic field distribution characteristic D showing the maximum and minimum values at the positions of the magnetic poles 4a and 4b, and It has a horizontal magnetic field distribution characteristic F in the shape of a chevron that shows the maximum value at the center position of each of the magnetic poles 4a and 4b.
- a vertical magnetic sensor 7a whose magnetic sensing direction is set in the vertical direction is located at the center position of the distance W between the magnetic poles 4a and 4b whose vertical magnetic field distribution characteristic D crosses the 0 level line. If provided, the effect of the magnetic field can be eliminated.
- a horizontal magnetic sensor whose magnetic response direction is set to the horizontal direction is arranged, and the output signal of the horizontal magnetic sensor is differentiated. Then, near the center position between the magnetic poles, the output signal waveform approximates the perpendicular magnetic field distribution characteristic D. Therefore, the output signal after the differentiation crosses the 0 level line at the center position. Therefore, similarly to the vertical magnetic sensor 7a, the influence of the magnetic field can be removed. However, it is preferable to use a vertical magnetic sensor rather than a horizontal magnetic sensor.
- a horizontal magnetic sensor exhibits a large value of the stray magnetic flux in a healthy base material portion, and a sensor having a wide dynamic range is required.
- the output of the horizontal magnetic sensor must be once processed by a differentiating circuit, which complicates the entire device.
- the ratio (f s Z f ⁇ ) ⁇ between the frequency f N of the frequency f s and a noise component of the signal components due to magnetic anomalies in the horizontal type magnetic sensor the ratio of the vertical magnetic sensor (Fc ⁇ f N ) Smaller than ⁇ .
- a vertical magnetic sensor it is better to use a vertical magnetic sensor. It becomes easier to remove noise contained in the signal. Therefore, in order to simplify the actual device, a vertical magnetic sensor is preferable. However, without a vertical magnetic sensor, it is not impossible to detect magnetic abnormalities.
- the fixed bias voltage output from the bias voltage generator 16 is adjusted to the voltages V ov and V oh.
- the voltage V ov (V oh) is subtracted from the output signal of the magnetic sensor 7 a by the subtractor 15.
- the perpendicular magnetic field distribution characteristic D shown in FIG. 47 is a characteristic in a state where the thin steel strip 10 having no defect is stationary with respect to the magnetic poles 4a and 4b.
- the thin steel strip 10 moves in one direction at the speed V.
- the thin steel strip 10 is magnetized by the magnetic pole 4a, and due to the speed effect of the thin steel strip 10, which is the subject moving in the excitation magnetic field, the magnetic flux distribution apparently changes in the moving direction of the subject. Bias. That is, when the conductor, which is a conductor, is moving in the magnetic field, an eddy current is generated in the subject.
- the center position (X-0) between the magnetic poles of the magnetic poles 4a and 4b does not become the 0 level position in the vertical magnetic field distribution characteristic E after the movement. Therefore, a stray magnetic flux exists at the center position.
- the floating magnetic flux is a magnetic flux that is detected around the object, apart from the leakage magnetic flux generated due to magnetic abnormalities such as surface defects, internal defects, and welds in the object.
- the floating magnetic flux is emitted to the surroundings mainly from the subject as a bulk or from the magnetized core member of the magnetizer. Therefore, this stray magnetic flux has distribution characteristics corresponding to the respective magnetic field distribution characteristics shown in FIG.
- FIG. 9 is an actual measurement diagram showing each relative value of the output voltage of the sensor 7.
- the respective characteristics in FIG. 50 are characteristics when the exciting current I of the magnetized coil 6 is changed in the order of 0.25 A, 0.50 A, 0.75 A.

- FIG. 51 is an actual measurement diagram showing the relationship between the moving speed V of the thin copper strip 10 having no defect described above and the relative value of the output voltage of the magnetic sensor 7a.
- the exciting current I is 0.2 A
- the output signal caused by the stray magnetic flux is saturated when the traveling speed V of the thin steel strip 10 is about 600 m / min.
- each magnetic sensor 7a is often required to have high detection sensitivity to leakage magnetic flux due to defects.
- the leakage magnetic flux from a minute defect is a very small value of about several Omm Gauss. Therefore, it is necessary to greatly increase the magnetic detection sensitivity of each magnetic sensor 7a.
- Fig. 52 shows the output voltage value of the magnetic sensor 7a when the intensity of the magnetic flux crossing the magnetic sensor 7a is changed, for example, in the magnetic sensor 7a having a high detection sensitivity of 1 V at 1 Gauss.
- FIG. As can be understood from this measurement diagram, when the detection sensitivity of the magnetic sensor 7a is increased, the output voltage value is saturated when the cross magnetic flux is about 6 gauss.
- FIG. 53 is an actual measurement diagram showing the relationship between the output of the magnetic sensor 7a and the exciting current I when a defect was detected in the thin steel strip 10 on which an artificial defect having a diameter of 0.6 mm was formed. is there.
- the moving speed V of the thin steel strip 10 was increased,
- the excitation current I of the magnetizer 4 is increased to increase the defect detection sensitivity, the output of the magnetic sensor 7a not only saturates when the excitation current I exceeds a certain current, but also conversely. descend.
- the objective cannot be achieved even if the sensitivity of the magnetic sensor 7a is increased.
- the intensity of the stray magnetic flux when there is no defect is much higher than the intensity of the leakage magnetic flux caused by the small-scale defect described above. Therefore, when the detection sensitivity of the magnetic sensor 7a is increased, the output signal is saturated with the stray magnetic flux. As a result, there is a problem that small defects cannot be detected accurately.
- Such a problem is not a special phenomenon seen only in a device using a hollow roll as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 63-107949.
- the decrease in defect detection accuracy caused by stray magnetic flux is a phenomenon generally seen in so-called magnetic detection technology in which a magnetically abnormal portion is detected using a magnetizer.
- the magnetization characteristics of the thin steel strip 10 as an object change according to the moving speed V.
- the moving speed V of the thin steel strip 10 increases, the magnetizing force of the thin steel strip 10 decreases due to the speed effect as described above.
- the defect size is the same, if the moving speed V of the thin steel strip 10 changes, it is detected as a defect of a different size.
- a first object of the present invention is included in an output signal of a magnetic sensor for detecting a leakage magnetic flux generated due to a magnetically abnormal part of a subject.
- a magnetic detection method and a magnetic detection device that can remove low frequency signal components caused by stray magnetic flux, increase the S / N of the output signal of the magnetic sensor, and greatly improve the sensitivity and accuracy of detecting abnormal magnetic parts To provide.

- a magnetic detection method and a magnetic measurement device provide a magnetic detection method for detecting a leakage magnetic flux caused by a magnetically abnormal portion of a test object moving in a magnetic field.
- the low-frequency signal component included in the sensor output signal is extracted by a low-pass filter.
- the extracted low frequency signal component is amplified and applied to the acquisition coil.
- the magnetic flux generated by the compensation coil cancels the stray magnetic flux crossing the magnetic sensor.
- the time variation (frequency) of the stray magnetic flux that occurs even in the healthy part of the subject is much lower than the frequency of the leakage magnetic flux caused by the magnetically abnormal part of the subject moving in the magnetic field. Therefore, the signal component of the stray magnetic flux contained in the output signal of the magnetic sensor can be extracted by the one-pass filter. If the low-frequency signal component is applied to the compensation coil with, for example, the opposite polarity, a magnetic flux is generated by the compensation coil in a direction to cancel the stray magnetic flux. As a result, the stray magnetic flux crossing the magnetic sensor is canceled by the magnetic flux generated by the compensation coil. Therefore, a signal component caused by the stray magnetic flux is removed from the output signal of the magnetic sensor.
- a magnetic abnormality included in an output signal of a magnetic sensor that detects a leakage magnetic flux caused by a magnetically abnormal portion of a subject is provided.
- the signal generated by the section is extracted by a specific signal extraction filter composed of, for example, a high-pass filter or a band-pass filter.
- the output amplifier widens the output signal of the specific signal extraction filter and outputs it as a defect signal.
- another magnetic sensor for detecting a component of the magnetic flux parallel to the surface of the subject is provided near the magnetic sensor for detecting the leakage magnetic flux. Then, the amplification factor of the output amplifier is controlled by the output signal of the magnetic sensor.
- the vertical magnetic field distribution characteristic D has a sinusoidal shape, but the horizontal magnetic field distribution characteristic F has a chevron shape.
- the strength of the magnetic field inside and through the object is measured.
- the intensity of the magnetic field changes according to the moving speed of the subject.
- the horizontal component of the magnetic field intensity also changes due to the change of the magnetizing force due to the change. Therefore, if the horizontal magnetic sensor detects the amount of change in the magnetic field due to the change in the moving speed and controls the amplification of the output amplifier, the defect with the correct signal level whose speed has been corrected from the output amplifier can be obtained. A signal is output.

- Vertical magnetic sensor 104 are provided.
- the output signal of the magnetic sensor 104 is converted into an output signal 106 corresponding to the intensity of the magnetic flux crossing the magnetic sensor 104 in the magnetic detection circuit 105.
- the output signal 106 is input to a mouth-pass filter 107 and a high-pass filter 108 serving as a specific signal extraction filter.
