Detailed Description
The double-station cooperation hybrid welding production line comprises a coordination motion monitoring system, wherein the coordination motion monitoring system is communicated with an integrated controller through a USB port to complete detection of state information of the double-welding robots 1 and 2, and according to the motion state of the double-welding robots, the coordination motion monitoring system makes control instructions for coordinating the motion of the double-welding robots so as to enable the double-welding robots to move synchronously or asynchronously. The coordinated motion monitoring system also acquires and processes external sensor signals and controls the motion pose of the double-welding robot in real time, such as the laser sensor is used for tracking the welding seam and controlling the arc length. In addition, the coordinated motion monitoring system receives external control quantity and outputs a certain analog quantity to the robot to manually adjust the motion poses of the double-welding robot, and the main manual control box 4 and the secondary manual control box 5 are utilized to finish manual control of the start, the emergency stop and the pose adjustment in the motion process of the main welding robot 1 and the secondary welding robot 2.
For the double-side hybrid welding process of the double-station hybrid welding robot, the coordination control of the movement between the two welding robots is very critical. Therefore, a constraint relation of the coordinated movement of the double welding robots needs to be established, the constraint relation can be a constraint relation of the double welding robots which are symmetrical relative to the workpiece 3 or mirror images of the welding directions, and the constraint relation is applied to the end manipulator of the double welding robots, so that the positions and postures of the coordinated movement of the double welding robots are obtained. The double-welding robot adopts a primary and secondary coordination control strategy, the main robot 1 is stud welding, the front end of a mechanical arm of the main robot is provided with a stud welding gun 14 and is primary welding, the secondary robot 2 is suspension spot welding, the front end of the mechanical arm of the secondary robot is provided with a suspension spot welding tongs 15 and is secondary welding, a model of the system for coordinated motion is established, a motion path point of the tail end of the suspension spot welding tongs of the secondary robot 2 is deduced through kinematic coordinate transformation by taking a workpiece reference plane as a symmetric plane according to the position and the posture of the tail end of the stud welding gun of the main robot, so that the secondary robot is controlled to move along with the main robot in a coordination mode, and the double-station hybrid welding robot welding process is realized.
For the interaction and safety of the operator and the machine: the workpiece holder 6 is provided with a pressure sensor 7 which is able to obtain the pressure with which the workpiece 3 is placed on the holder by the operator, and when the pressure exceeds a certain threshold, it is verified that the workpiece has been fixed and a start signal is automatically emitted to the robot, and the twin welding robot starts the hybrid welding process. After the welding, operating personnel takes off the work piece, and pressure sensor acquires pressure and is zero this moment, then two welding robot resume initial condition, prepare to wait to carry out welding process to the next work piece 8 of installing, consequently, the production beat does not influence whole play beat, has realized man-machine zero clearance interdynamic, has fully shown the technical effect of the man-machine of robot weldment work station cooperation of assisting each other, very big promotion production efficiency, has mastered the production beat.
Still be provided with safe grating 9 before welding production line operating personnel: the safety grating 9 is a field sensing device, the safety grating is composed of an independent transmitter and an independent receiver, an infrared grating which cannot be seen on one side is formed between the transmitter and the receiver, and the safety grating is a non-contact safety function. During welding, the safety light barrier works normally, and if any part of the operator body covers the light curtain, the safety light barrier is detected by the system. When the safety grating is shielded, the movement of the robot is immediately stopped and a malfunction alarm signal is generated. And after confirming that no interference object exists in the protected area, clearing the alarm signal and continuing the welding process. This applies to situations where the welding process is not complete, but still needs to be stopped.
Correction for synchronous or asynchronous movement of the twin welding robots: each robot is provided with actuators 10 and 11 each including at least one position indicator 12 and 13 periodically indicating a position, and a cooperation error of the twin welding robot can be detected. The position indicator may be a simple indicator that periodically indicates the time when the robotic arm of the twin welding robot has reached a certain sensor. For example, the time when the tweezers of each of the twin welding robots pass the emitter of a certain predetermined position can be detected by using optical or capacitive sensors (the positions of the sensors and the emitter are not shown in the figure, and the appropriate position can be selected for setting according to actual production needs), and if the time difference between the two predetermined position indications of the passing tweezers of the two robots is sufficiently accurate, the position/movement of the actuator can be continuously tracked and controlled. If there is an error in the time difference between the times at which the position indicator is detected to pass the position of its sensor, the rotational speed of the motor of at least one of the drives can be controlled to accelerate or decelerate based on the time difference and the error through calculation by the controller, so that the positions of the two drives can be controlled to move accurately synchronously or asynchronously. The controller comprises an error calculation module and a communication module, wherein the error calculation module is used for calculating an error value adjusting reference by comparing the time difference detected by the position indicator with a preset standard time difference, and providing the speed reference of the driver of the main robot for the driver of the secondary robot through the communication module, so that the driver of the secondary robot is controlled to drive at a higher speed, the error value is supplemented, and the normal driving speed is recovered.
