Abstract:In order to solve the problems, such as low axial resolution of the sensor reconstruction image and weak acquisition signal, existing in the small diameter oil-air lubrication ECT system, a three-dimensional structure optimization model of the ECT capacitive sensor of the system is established. The initial values range of the spacing of capacitor plate, the length of single-layer capacitor plate and the thickness of capacitor plate are determined. Three important structural parameters mentioned above is optimized by the orthogonal experiment method. The research results show that the image accuracy coefficient of the optimized sensor is increased by 131.20%.
