Specific embodiment
In order to preferably express technical solution of the present invention and beneficial achievement, with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples to the present invention It is described in further detail.
A kind of embodiment 1: the system work of seam tracking system and method based on dot laser range sensor of the invention Make schematic diagram as shown in Figure 1, the problems such as it mainly solves seam tracking system, structure is complicated, locating effect is poor, feature exists In: the system include the source of welding current, dot laser range sensor, acceleration transducer, linear guide, sliding block, welding gun, at signal Manage device, arithmetic unit, controller, protector for sensor, wire-feed motor, driver.In conjunction with Fig. 2, it can be seen that acceleration transducer Above the survey of sliding block, be conducive to the transverse movement for incuding sliding block, signal processor, arithmetic unit clearly can be calculated quickly The distance of sliding block sliding;In the dot laser range sensor that the side-lower of sliding block is small power single pulse, as shown in Fig. 2, point swashs Luminous energy measures laser emission point to the vertical range of workpiece surface, and two sensors are by being fixed on sliding block, with sliding block straight It moves reciprocatingly on line guide rail, realizes and workpiece surface is scanned, extract weld seam deviation.The present invention is on original laser sensor In conjunction with acceleration transducer, keep weld joint tracking effect more acurrate, system structure is more simple and efficient.
Embodiment 2: as shown in Figure 3,4, posture of welding torch correction process is illustrated.
When groove morphological rules, if Fig. 3 (a), DE are linear guide, when sliding block moves back and forth at a high speed in linear guide When, by laser distance measuring principle can calculate sensor to workpiece grooves surface distance, as seen from the figure, dot laser range sensor Distance to workpiece surface is presented from left to right: first being gradually become smaller, is gradually increased again after reaching A point, reaches C point and reach maximum Value is then gradually become smaller again with given pace, is reached B point and is gradually become smaller again with another rate.Signal processor is according to survey Changing rule out can extract the distance value of each characteristic point, i.e. distance value at point A, B, C, D, E, in addition, point O leads for straight line The central point of rail and the characteristic point in the present invention.
When welding gun is in (a) state in Fig. 3, welding gun center, that is, linear guide midpoint O laser distance is | OO ' |, this When slide block movement to C ' point when laser distance | CC ' | to be most worth, identification calculates welding gun under the action of processor, arithmetic unit Left-right deviation, this situation welding gun right avertence, right avertence difference is | OC ' |,
If sliding block, from the end linear guide E setting in motion, sliding block is with initial velocity for 0, and acceleration is that a does uniform variable motion, then | OC ' |=| EC ' |-| EO |=1/2at1-1/2at0=1/2a (t1-t0), slide block movement time, acceleration respectively by controller and Acceleration transducer induction obtains.
Meanwhile can recognize and calculating the upper lower deviation of welding gun according to the distance of sensor at characteristic point C, O to workpiece, because Wire feed length is constant when for robot automatic welding, can judge that welding gun is according to the distance that dot laser range sensor is measured It is no that there are upper lower deviations.In this case, | CC ' | with | OO ' | distance difference be welding gun upper lower deviation, on welding gun partially.System The distance signal of welding gun is inputted letter by the distance that system is measured according to sensor, dot laser range sensor combination acceleration transducer Signal is carried out identifying processing by number processor, processor, and arithmetic unit calculates characteristic point distance value and simultaneously calculates weld seam deviation, such as schemes Shown in 3, the deviation signal that controller will acquire is handled, and control driver drives welding gun to automatically track weld seam center, i.e., (a) →(b)。
It as shown in Fig. 3 (b), is entangled partially by Butt welding gun pose, welding gun center is to positive Weld pipe mill at this time, in order to realize weldering Seam precisely tracks and reaches actual welding effect, and the influence that welding gun work angle-butt weld is seamed into type is most important, before the present invention passes through The geometrical model that face is established realizes that welding gun operating angle entangles partially based on antitrigonometric function and reaches weld joint tracking effect.In Fig. 3 (b), square In shape AFC ' A ' and BGC ' B ', | AF |=| A ' C ' |, | BG |=| B ' C ' |, can be measured by acceleration transducer | A ' C ' | and | C ' B ' | distance value;By the laser distance value of characteristic point A, B, C | AA ' |, | BB ' |, | CC ' | available | FC |=| CC '-AA ' |, | GC |=| CC '-BB ' |, it can be obtained in right angled triangle △ FAC, △ BGC according to arcsin function:
∠ α=arctan (| AF |/| GC |),
∠ β=arctan (| BG |/| GC |),
According to actual welding appearance of weld situation, as ∠ α=∠ β, welding gun operating angle at this time is best, appearance of weld effect Fruit is best.Arithmetic unit carries out operation according to the distance value Butt welding gun operating angle that sensor measures, and angle of welding gun deviation is inputted and is controlled Device processed, controller passes through control driver again drives welding gun to adjust posture, reaches weld seam and precisely tracks, is i.e. (b) → (c).
Can similarly obtain, when groove pattern is irregular, as shown in figure 4, controller action sliding block move, dot laser away from Workpiece surface is scanned from sensor, identical as situation when groove morphological rules, system handles characteristic point, with The left and right of welding gun, upper lower deviation are obtained afterwards, and driver drives welding gun real-time deviation correcting posture, i.e., | OO ' |=| CC ' |, make welding gun pair Middle Weld pipe mill.Welding gun and groove angle ∠ α=arctan (| AF |/| GC |), ∠ β=arctan (| BG |/| GC |), ∠ α When ≠ ∠ β, two corners illustrate that the operating angle deviation of welding gun, system will rectify a deviation according to the deviation of two angles with the presence of deviation, from And realize accurate weld joint tracking, i.e. (d) → (e) → (f).
Embodiment 3: as shown in figure 5, L-t indicates the Laser emission when welding gun carries out weld joint tracking at linear guide center The functional picture that the distance of point to groove changes over time, α/β-t indicate the linear guide center when welding gun carries out weld joint tracking The functional picture that angle between the laser and groove two sides at place changes over time, X-t are indicated when welding gun carries out weld joint tracking The functional picture that the distance of laser to longest laser at linear guide center changes over time, actually welding gun weld seam with Posture of welding torch changes with time functional picture when track, can intuitively reflect the correction process of welding gun, welding gun can be monitored in real time Deviation signal, so that the automatic Butt welding gun of system is adjusted.
