Abstract:Under the complex operating conditions of high dynamics and strong electromagnetic interference in elevator traction systems, early non-destructive testing of broken wires in steel wire ropes has long faced bottlenecks such as uneven spatial distribution of the excitation magnetic field, feature aliasing caused by asynchronous acquisition of multi-source signals, and difficulties in quantitative decoupling of clustered and internal broken wires due to the attenuation and superposition effects of leakage magnetic fields. To address these issues, a non-destructive testing system for broken wires in elevator steel wire ropes based on Hall sensors is designed. By constructing a circumferential eight-loop permanent magnet excitation structure, uniform deep magnetization of the steel wire rope cross-section is achieved. A distributed Senis 3-axis Hall sensor array and a USB2884 synchronous acquisition card are employed to accomplish high-precision synchronous acquisition and fusion of multi-physical field signals, including leakage magnetic fields and vibrations. The leakage magnetic field of broken wires is equivalent to a magnetic dipole pair. By introducing a penetration correction factor and constraints on the effective detection area of the sensor, a quantitative mapping model between magnetic induction intensity and Hall potential is established, enabling precise identification and classification of clustered and internal broken wires. Experimental results demonstrate that the system achieves a detection sensitivity of 140×10?? T for the magnetic induction intensity of surface broken wires. Under various defect morphologies, including single, adjacent, multiple circumferential, and internal broken wires, the number of peak values of leakage magnetic flux and signal characteristics are consistent with the theoretical model, validating the system"s high sensitivity, strong anti-interference capability, and good integration performance in complex environments.
