Description

用于焊接系统的基于传感器的电力控制
背景技术
本发明概括地涉及焊接系统，更具体地涉及用于使用运动传感器控制焊接系统的电力供应器或附件的感测系统。
焊接是在针对多种类型的应用的各种行业中已变得无所不在的工艺。例如，在诸如造船、航空器修理、建筑等应用中经常执行焊接。焊接系统通常包括可产生电力供焊接工艺期间消耗的电源。然而，即使在由于焊炬不工作而不需要电力时，这些电源也可产生电力。此外，如果电源不工作或正产生减少的电力，直到需求事件(例如，按压了触发器)，可能存在时间段在其间电力是需要的但不可得到的。
发明内容
在第一实施例中，一种焊接系统包括电源和焊炬运动感测系统，所述焊炬运动感测系统与焊炬相关联且被配置以感测焊炬定向或移动。所述焊接系统还包括与所述焊炬运动感测系统通信耦连的处理系统。所述处理系统被配置以在来自所述焊炬的焊接需求前确定所述焊炬的移动，且向电源发送指示以在足以操作所述焊炬的产生电平下提供电力。
在另一实施例中，一种方法包括经由焊炬运动感测系统感测焊炬的初始定向，和经由所述焊炬运动感测系统感测所述焊炬的后续定向。所述方法还包括如果与所述焊炬相关联的电源被关断且所述后续定向与所述初始定向不同，那么启动所述电源。此外，所述方法包括如果所述电源处于低电力状态中且所述后续定向与所述初始定向不同，那么启动所述电源的较高电力状态。
在另一实施例中，一种被配置成与焊炬耦连的翻新套件包括焊炬运动感测系统，其被配置以确定所述焊炬的定向或移动。此外，所述翻新套件包括处理器，其被配置成响应于所述焊炬的移动或所述焊炬定向的改变向所述焊炬的电力供应器发送指示以提供电力。

图6为可用于图1的焊接系统中的焊炬100的实施例的立体图。
具体实施方式
如以下将详细地描述，本文中提供系统和方法，该系统和方法用于使用焊炬中的运动(例如，惯性)传感器以在实际需求前确定电力需求的可能性从而减少电力可用性的延迟和/或产生的电力的浪费。通过确定正在移动焊炬，即使在明确的请求(例如，按压焊炬上的触发器)前，焊接系统也可确定需求可能即将来临，且应当启动较高电平电力产生状态。当焊炬确定需求可能即将来临时发电允许电源较早地提升电力，由此减少或消除在初始需求时可用电力的不足。
现谈及附图，图1为根据本技术的焊接系统10的实施例的框图。焊接系统10被设计成产生用于工件14(例如，管)的焊弧12。焊弧12可由任一类型的焊接系统或工艺产生，且可以任何期望的方式定向。例如，此类焊接系统可包括气体保护金属极电弧焊(GMAW)系统，且可利用各种编程的波形和设定。焊接系统10包括电力供应器16(例如，在一些实施例中，发动机驱动的发电机)，其通常被耦连到电源18，例如，电网、发动机或其组合(例如，混合动力)。当然，可利用其他电源，包括发电机等。在图示的实施例中，送丝器20耦连到气体源22和电源18，且将焊丝24供应到焊炬26。焊炬26被配置以在焊炬26与工件14之间产生焊弧12。将焊丝24经由焊炬26馈送到焊弧12，由焊弧12熔融，且沉积于工件14上。
送丝器20通常包括送丝器控制电路系统28，其尤其调节焊丝24从线轴29的馈送，且命令电力供应器16的输出。类似地，电力供应器16可包括用于控制某些焊接参数和起弧参数的电力供应器控制电路系统30。在某些实施例中，送丝器控制电路系统28或电力供应器控制电路系统30可包括软件、硬件或其组合。例如，在某些实施例中，送丝器控制电路系统28和/或电力供应器控制电路系统30可包括处理器和被配置以存储待由处理器执行的指令的存储器。在一些实施例中，送丝器控制电路系统28可与电力供应器控制电路系统30通过焊接电缆31通信，该焊接电缆31也用以将电力提供到送丝器20。送丝器20的线轴29可以包含在焊接操作期间消耗的焊丝24的长度。焊丝24由焊丝驱动组合件32推进，通常通过在控制电路系统28的控制下使用电动机。此外，工件14由连接到工作电缆36的夹钳34耦连到电力供应器16从而当在焊炬26与工件14之间建立焊弧12时使电路完整。
将焊炬26置于最接近工件14的位置处允许由电力供应器16提供且被导引到焊炬26的电流从焊炬26到工件14成弧。如上所述，此成弧使包括电力供应器16、焊炬26、工件14和工作电缆36的电路完整。具体地，在操作中，电流从电力供应器16传送到焊炬26，到工件14，工件14通常经由工作电缆36连接回到电力供应器16。弧产生相对大量的热量，这使工件14的部分和焊丝24的填料金属转变到使材料熔合的熔融状态，从而形成焊接件。
在某些实施例中，为了保护焊接区域在焊接期间不被氧化或污染，为了增强电弧性能，且为了改善所得焊接件，焊接系统10也可将惰性屏蔽气体从气体源22馈送到焊炬26。然而，值得注意地，除了惰性屏蔽气体之外，或代替惰性屏蔽气体，还可使用用于保护焊接位置的各种屏蔽材料，包括活性气体和颗粒固体。此外，在其他焊接工艺中，可不使用此类气体，而本文中公开的技术同等地可适用。
虽然图1说明GMAW系统，但目前公开的技术可类似地在其他类型的焊接系统(其中包括气体钨电弧焊(GTAW)系统和屏蔽金属电弧焊(SMAW)系统等)上应用。因此，取决于实施具体考虑因素，基于传感器的电力供应器控制的实施例可供包括送丝器20和气体源22的焊接系统利用，或供不包括送丝器20和/或气体源22的系统利用(例如，焊炬26直接耦连到电力供应器16的实施例)。
目前公开的实施例涉及电力供应器16的基于传感器的控制。在一些实施例中，送丝器控制电路系统28和/或电力供应器控制电路系统30可基于至少使用位于焊炬26中、上或与焊炬26相关联的加速度计38、陀螺仪传感器40和/或磁力计41(共同地被称作传感器)导出的惯性数据来控制电力供应器16。例如，在一些实施例中，传感器可位于可安装到焊炬26的翻新套件中。此外，在一些实施例中，电路系统30可至少部分基于传感器反馈来个别地控制由电力供应器16供应的焊接电力。在某些实施例中，电路系统28可至少部分基于传感器反馈来个别地调整焊丝馈送速度。在其他实施例中，电路系统(28或30)中的任一个可执行其控制且将控制信号发送到另一个，使得另一个可在另外其他实施例中执行其控制。
在某些实施例中，加速度计38可包括能够测量动态运动(例如，焊接编织(weldweaving))的单一三轴加速度计。在其他实施例中，加速度计38可包括一或多个定向传感器(例如，加速度计)以确定在一或多个维度上的焊炬26定向的改变。例如，可基于两个加速度计，相对于与重力的方向平行的平面计算二维位置。使用加速度计38，电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28可确定焊炬26处于工作状态(例如，竖直位置)还是非工作状态中。例如，当在指示闲置的位置中(例如，侧放、倒置或焊炬26面向下放置)在一段时间内保持实质上不动时，可将焊炬26视为非工作中。
在一些实施例中，陀螺仪传感器40可包括一或多个陀螺仪传感器，例如，单个三轴陀螺仪传感器。电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28可使用陀螺仪传感器40补充来自加速度计38的数据以测量低值移动，例如，在某些焊接工艺(例如，TIG)中使用的振荡运动。
在某些实施例中，磁力计41可包括一或多个陀螺仪传感器，例如，单个三轴磁力计。电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28可使用磁力计41确定磁场的改变，例如，焊炬26或焊接区域中的其他物体的移动。
使用来自一或多个所述传感器的数据，电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28可控制电力供应器16以确保当操作员开始使用焊炬26时产生足够的电力。在某些实施例中，电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28可通过实施电力控制过程50(如图2中所示)来控制电力供应器16。在一些实施例中，电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28可经由存储于非暂时性计算机可读介质(例如，存储器)中且由处理器执行的指令来实施过程50。电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28接收指示活动的数据(块52)。在一些实施例中，可从焊炬26接收指示活动的数据，作为指示焊炬26已移动或某一其他物体(例如，经由磁力计41)已在焊接区域内移动的数据。如以下将论述，可经由位于焊炬26内的发射器将数据传输到电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28。
在接收到这些活动指示时，电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28确定有可能使用焊炬26(例如，可能即将按下焊炬26的触发器以启动焊弧)。因此，电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28通过确定电源是否在工作中且产生足够的电力来确定是否应增加电力(块54)。例如，电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28确定发动机是否正产生足够的能量或AC线路电力是否足够用于焊接。由于在一些实施例中，电力供应器16可超出操作员的视觉或听力，如果电力供应器16在工作中且产生期望的能量，那么焊接系统10可指示足够的电力可用(块56)。如下所论述，可经由通过焊炬26、电焊帽或外部反馈装置对操作员的触觉、视觉或音频反馈(指示焊接系统10准备好提供所要的电力电平)来指示可用的电力。然而，如果电力供应器16不在工作中或未准备好提供期望的电力电平(例如，电力供应器16正闲置)，那么电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28可使电力供应器16接通或增加来自输入线路电力的电力消耗(块58)或来自发动机的电力产生。一旦达成足够的电力消耗，那么可经由触觉、视觉或音频反馈对操作员指示可用的电力。
此外，在一些情形中，可能需要在非工作的周期期间减少电力。例如，如果电力供应器16包括发动机，那么当接收到非工作的指示时，电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28可使发动机能够闲置或关停，由此基于感测到的缺少需求来减少电力产生。闲置状态的一个典型形式为将到用于输出的主电力转换器的输入电力断开连接，但允许控制为了通信而连接到运动传感器的电力和重新连接主电力。主要电力转换器的一个典型电力消耗为使主变压器的电流磁化。通过消除主变压器的电力消耗，当焊炬26不在工作中时，浪费较少电力。此外，当电力供应器16包括发动机时，当焊接或刨削工具不在使用中时，发动机可完全关停。电力供应器控制可由电池供电以在操作员捡拾起焊炬准备焊接时与运动传感器通信和启动发动机。替代方案为使发动机在只用于控制但不足以提供焊接电力的低速下运转，但当在无移动的周期后焊炬由操作员捡拾或移动时，增加到高速。通常对于粘结焊接，在初始的数百毫秒内其需要初始高电力以用于电弧点燃，因此运动传感器可触发发动机而变为高速以启动电弧，接着下降到较低速度以用于焊接的其余部分。此外，使用发动机的增加的能量消耗可涉及增加的燃料消耗、发动机磨损和噪音产生，由此减少能量消耗可减少燃料消耗、发动机磨损、噪音产生等等。
还可以以针对具体工具的功率电平标记不同的运动传感器。例如，电弧刨削使用比电弧焊接高得多的功率。当将发动机从睡眠状态(关停)唤醒时，刨削工具的移动可以触发足够用于刨削的较高发动机速度，且焊接工具的移动可以触发足够用于焊接的较低发动机速度。
因此，图3说明可由电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28实施的电力控制过程60。电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28可接收非活动的指示(块62)。例如，如果电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28确定焊炬26已在给定时间段内保持实质上不动或在指示闲置的位置中(例如，侧放、倒置或焊炬26面向下地放置)。如果电力供应器16在工作中或正产生电力(块64)，那么电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28确定电力减少持续时间是否已过去(块66)。换句话说，在一些实施例中，电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28可允许某一闲置量(例如，少于一分钟)，而不控制电力产生。在一些实施例中，可使用多于一个持续时间。例如，在一些实施例中，电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28可在超过第一非活动阈值(例如，5分钟)后使发动机闲置，且当超过第二阈值(例如，10分钟)时使发动机关断。
当确定焊炬26不在工作中达某一周期且电力供应器16正产生未使用的电力时，电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28减少电力产生(块68)。否则，电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28不调整电力产生。如上所论述，在一些实施例中，电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28可在一或多个步骤中减少电力。例如，电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28可在各种非活动间隔处降低电力产生电平，且在另一非活动的持续时间后关停电力产生。
图4说明可用以实施以上论述的电力控制过程50和60的电力供应器16和焊炬26的实施例的框图。焊炬26可包括磁力计41、加速度计38和陀螺仪40中的至少一个。在具有一或多个所述传感器的一些实施例中，数据融合单元70可接收来自磁力计41、加速度计38和陀螺仪40的测量结果，且可融合所述数据以便经由发射器72发射。例如，磁力计41可检测磁场的改变，而加速度计38可检测移动。数据融合单元70可通过使用来自两个传感器的数据而将数据融合到焊炬移动的准确模型。在一些实施例中，数据融合单元70可融合来自在焊炬26外部的传感器(例如，在焊接区域中的光传感器)与内部传感器的数据。在其他实施例中，在不融合数据或不具有数据融合单元70之时，可依赖于仅一个所述传感器。在一些实施例中，来自所述传感器的数据可在不首先加以融合的情况下由发射器72发射，使得电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28可以分别地接收数据，且分析所述信息。在一些实施例中，数据融合单元70可包括硬件、软件或其某一组合(例如，处理器或存储指令的存储器)。
用以将信息从焊炬26发射到电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28的发射器72可包括有线或无线连接。例如，在图示的实施例中，发射器72使用用以对焊炬26供电的焊接电缆31将传感器数据发射到电力供应器控制电路系统30的接收器74。在某些实施例中，送丝器20也可包括发射器、接收器或收发器。在一些实施例中，发射器72可使用与焊接电缆31分开的数据线将传感器数据发射到接收器74。在一些实施例中，发射器72和接收器74可包括被配置以无线方式发射和接收数据的无线通信无线电。例如，在一些实施例中，发射器72和接收器74可包括被配置以经由802.11(WiFi)、802.15.4、802.15.1、蓝牙、蜂窝式机器对机器(M2M)技术通信的收发器。
在一些实施例中，焊炬26包括焊炬电力存储装置76(例如，化学电池或电容器)，其可用以提供用于操作传感器、数据融合单元70和/或发射器72的电力。在一些实施例中，当电力供应器16正产生电力时，传感器、数据融合单元70和/或发射器72可至少部分地由电力供应器16供电。然而，在某些实施例中，焊炬26也可包括能量采集器78，其可用以在焊炬26的操作期间对焊炬电力存储装置76补充能量。能量采集器78捕获来自紧邻环境的动力(例如，电、热、磁场等)以对传感器提供动力。例如，能量采集器78的电感单元可从焊接电缆31中的波动电流提取少量能量以对焊炬电力存储装置76充电。
在一些实施例中，反馈单元80可用以对操作员报警，正产生某一电力电平以使操作员能够确定是否有足够的电力可用于使用焊炬26。在一些实施例中，反馈单元80可包括一或多个LED、一或多个声音发射单元(例如，扬声器)、一或多个触觉反馈单元、拨盘、仪表、适用于指示电力可用性的其他单元或其某一组合。本实施例将反馈单元80说明为焊炬26的部分。在一些实施例中，反馈单元80可位于电焊帽内、与在焊接区域中的操作员分开、在焊炬26上或其某一组合。
在一些实施例中，传感器可用以确定运动的存在等多个方面。在一些实施例中，可使用传感器确定针对焊接工艺的改变的各种姿势。例如，图5说明可用以控制焊接系统10的姿势控制过程90的流程图。焊接系统10接收辨认的姿势(块92)。在一些实施例中，各种姿势可被预先编程到电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28内，或稍后使用焊炬26获悉。例如，姿势可包括水平挥动(例如，左或右)、垂直挥动(例如，上或下)、圆周运动(例如，顺时针或逆时针环圈)、扭转(例如，焊炬26的顺时针或逆时针旋转)或可由传感器辨认的其他姿势。换句话说，可分析由传感器产生的原始数据以确定操作员处于某些姿势使用焊炬26的时间。在一些实施例中，姿势可在传达到电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28前由预处理器(例如，在某些实施例中，数据融合单元70)分析。换句话说，在此类实施例中，原始数据可由数据融合单元70分析，且数据融合单元70将辨认的姿势发射到电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28。在其他实施例中，电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28可分析来自传感器的原始数据以辨认姿势。
在接收到辨认的姿势时，电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28改变对应的焊接工艺参数(块94)。例如，如果辨认出迅速的左或右挥动，那么电力供应器控制电路系统30和/或送丝器控制电路系统28可减小或增大对应的焊接参数，例如，用于MIG焊接的电压或用于屏蔽金属电弧焊(SMAW)和钨惰性气体(TIG)焊接的电流。另外或替代地，焊接参数可包括用于碳弧刨削(CAG)工艺、等离子切割或焊接工艺的电流，或用于电源的工具断电辅助输出(例如，研磨机或泵)的电流。在一些实施例中，辨认的姿势可使电力供应器经由多个状态展开进度。
另外或替代地，如果辨认出顺时针圆周运动或顺时针扭转，那么可接通电力供应器16的发动机，而对应的逆时针运动可关断电力供应器发动机。此类姿势和相关联的动作仅仅为示例性，且并不意在限制性。也可以使用其他姿势和所得动作。
图6说明可在图1的焊接系统10中使用的焊炬100的实施例的立体图。焊炬100包括用于焊接操作员在执行焊接时握持的柄102。在第一端104，柄102耦连到电缆106，其中将焊接消耗品供应到焊接件。焊接消耗品通常行进通过柄102，且在与第一端104相对的第二端108处退出。焊炬100包括延伸出端部108的颈部110。因而，颈部110耦连于柄102与喷嘴112之间。应注意到，当按压或致动触发器111时，焊丝行进通过电缆106、柄102、颈部110和喷嘴112，使得焊丝延伸出喷嘴112的端部114(即，焊炬尖端)。
如所说明，经由紧固件116和118将柄102紧固到颈部110，且经由紧固件120和122将柄102紧固到电缆106。示出了喷嘴112，去除喷嘴112的一部分以展示延伸出导引或接触尖端126(或其他导引装置)的焊丝124。导引尖端126用以将焊丝124导引出焊炬100的端部114。虽然图示说明一种类型的焊炬100，但任何合适类型的焊炬可包括指示器128。例如，具有指示器128的焊炬可被配置用于屏蔽金属电弧焊(SMAW)、气体钨电弧焊(GTAW)、气体金属电弧焊(GMAW)等等。
焊炬100也可包括可检测焊炬100的或在焊炬100附近的运动的一或多个运动传感器130(例如，加速度计)。如上所述，通过检测经由焊炬100的运动，焊接系统10可接收活动或非活动的指示以控制对应的电力管理过程。换句话说，通过依赖于传感器130，焊接系统10可在实际需求(例如，触发器111的致动)前通过增加电力产生在需要时产生电力，由此使焊接系统10能够在非活动期间减少电力，而无在电力需求与电力的可用性之间的显著滞后。例如，当传感器130检测到运动时，电力供应器16可预料到触发器111的按下而提供电力。
虽然前述论述主要论述用于焊炬的运动感测，但一些实施例可包括用于其他工具或附件的运动感测。例如，可将运动感测用于与焊接型工艺相关联的任何焊接型工具或附件。在本文中使用时，焊接型指与焊接有关的任何工艺，例如，焊接、切割或刨削。此外，焊接型工具或附件可为在此类工艺中使用的任一工具或附件。例如，焊接型工具可包括焊炬、电极夹持器、机械加工工具或可在焊接型工艺中使用的其他类似工具。此外，焊接型附件可包括头盔、外套、手套或可在焊接型工艺中使用的其他设备。
虽然已在本文中仅说明和描述了本发明的某些特征，但所属领域的技术人员可想到许多修改和改变。因此，应理解，所附权利要求书旨在涵盖属于本发明的真实精神内的所有此类修改和改变。
