所显示的焊接熔池基于使用者的焊接技术以及所选择的焊接过程和参数来表征将被形成在现实世界中的焊接熔池。通过观察熔池(例如,形状、颜色、熔渣、尺寸、堆叠币状体),使用者可以修改他的焊接技术来完成良好焊缝并且确定正在被进行的焊接的类型。熔池的形状是响应于焊枪或焊条的移动的。
如本文中关于虚拟现实或仿真环境所使用的术语“实时”,意思是在虚拟或仿真环境中以与使用者将在现实世界的焊接情景中感知和体验的相同方式来及时地感知和体验。此外,焊接熔池是响应于物理环境的影响(包括重力),允许使用者以各种姿态(包括仰焊)和各种管道焊接角度(例如,1G、2G、5G、6G)来现实地练习焊接。
在虚拟或仿真焊接情景期间,显示在HUD156上的可以对焊接学员有用的信息可以是以文本、图像或图表的形式。这样的信息可以包括(例如)电弧焊接过程、焊接工具行进角度、焊接工具行进速度、导电嘴到工件距离、设定的焊丝送进速度、设定的焊接极性、仿真输出电压水平、设定的输出电流水平、仿真电弧长度、币状体间距、摆动时间、熔池时间、交织宽度、交织间距、公差范围、数字得分和焊接定序步骤。依照其他实施方案,其他信息也可以被显示。

按照另一个实施例,焊接软件应用程序的实施方案可以提供焊接定序能力。随着焊接者结束要求多个焊缝的焊接试样上的当前仿真焊缝,焊接者可以给出“下一焊缝”的声音命令。结果,焊接软件应用程序可以在HUD 156上向焊接者显示提供要被执行的下一个焊缝的位置的图像或图表。焊缝的类型以及与焊缝相关联的其他信息也可以被显示。如本文所讨论的,依照其中计算机化眼部佩戴装置150正在被空间追踪的实施方案,焊接软件应用程序可以在HUD上显示图表,以致图表在下一要被焊接的位置被重叠到焊接试样上。依照其他实施方案,与计算机化眼部佩戴装置操作的其他类型的焊接软件应用程序也是可能的。
计算机化眼部佩戴装置150可以被配置来与依照其他实施方案的其他焊接仿真系统系统一起使用。例如,在个人电脑(PC)或台式计算机上执行的焊接仿真可以与计算机化眼部佩戴装置150通信地和功能性地集成来辅助焊接学员学习如何焊接。在一些仿真和/或虚拟焊接环境中,焊接学员可以不佩戴任何种类的焊接头盔。相反,计算机化眼部佩戴装置可以是所佩戴的仅有的头部器具。计算机化眼部佩戴装置的一个可选实施方案可以提供触敏使用者界面(TSUI)161,焊接学员可以以不是声音激活的命令或者除声音激活命令以外的命令的方式来使用触敏使用者界面161。例如当不佩戴焊接头盔时,这样的TSUI对焊接学员将是可使用的。依照实施方案,TSUI 161可操作地连接到控制和通信电路157。
总的来说,辅助焊接者和焊接学员的方法被提供。系统可以包括与具有平视显示器(HUD)的计算机化眼部佩戴装置一起的现实世界电弧焊接系统或虚拟现实电弧焊接系统。计算机化眼部佩戴装置可以按照佩戴眼镜的方式由使用者佩戴在常规焊接头盔下,并且可以与现实世界的电弧焊接系统的焊接电源或虚拟现实电弧焊接系统的基于可编程处理器的子系统无线地通信。
