The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of the invention. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, not all of the structures.
Example one
Fig. 1A is a flowchart of a positioning method for a welding gun according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the embodiment is applicable to positioning a welding gun at a slope, the method may be executed by a positioning device for a welding gun according to an embodiment of the present invention, the positioning device may be implemented by software and/or hardware, and may be integrated on a welding gun, and the method specifically includes the following steps:
s110, acquiring a first target position point and a second target position point which are respectively positioned at two sides of the groove; the first target position point is located on the first side end face, and the second target position point is located on the second side end face.
The welding gun is a part for executing welding operation in the welding process, and in the embodiment of the disclosure, the welding gun comprises an electric welding gun which generates heat through high current and high voltage of the welding machine and collects the heat at a terminal to melt the welding wire, the melted welding wire penetrates into a part to be welded, and the welded parts in the weldment are firmly connected into a whole after cooling; the groove is formed by processing and assembling the part to be welded of the weldment and has a groove with a certain geometric shape, and the groove has the function of ensuring the welding quality, for example, as shown in fig. 1B, a top view structure diagram and a bottom view structure diagram of the groove are shown; as shown in fig. 1C, the first target position point and the second target position point are respectively located at two sides of the groove, that is, on the first side end surface and the second side end surface, and both the first target position point and the second target position point can be represented by coordinates, for example, a coordinate system is established on the upper surface of the weldment, and each point on the upper surface of the weldment can be represented by a unique coordinate.
Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the obtaining a first target position point and a second target position point respectively located at two sides of the groove includes: controlling a welding gun to move to the position above the first side end face, and controlling the welding gun to vertically move downwards until a welding wire is in contact with the first side end face, wherein a contact point of the welding wire and the first side end face is used as a first target position point; and controlling the welding gun to move to the position above the second side end face and vertically move downwards until the welding wire is in contact with the second side end face, and taking the contact point of the welding wire and the second side end face as a second target position point. The welding wire is positioned on the welding gun and at the lowest end of the welding gun, and when the welding gun is controlled to move vertically downwards, once the welding wire is bent, the welding wire is indicated to be in contact with the surface of a weldment. Specifically, the method further includes, after taking a contact point of the welding wire with the first side end surface as a first target position point: moving the welding gun vertically upwards to a safe position; and/or after taking the contact point of the welding wire and the second side end surface as a second target position point, the welding wire further comprises: moving the welding gun vertically upwards to a safe position. In the moving process of the welding gun, the welding gun can be lifted and away from the weldment in order to avoid friction and scratch between the welding gun and the weldment after the first target position point is obtained and the second target position point is obtained, so that the safety of the moving process of the welding gun is ensured.
Judge whether welding wire and weldment surface contact, can also detect through the mode of weak current feedback, it is specific, control welder and remove to the top of first side end face to control welder moves the back perpendicularly downwards, still include: if the voltage value of the welding wire is detected to be larger than a first preset threshold value, the welding wire is determined to be in contact with the first side end face; after controlling the welding gun to move to the position above the second side end face and controlling the welding gun to vertically move downwards, the method further comprises the following steps: and if the voltage value of the welding wire is detected to be larger than a second preset threshold value, determining that the welding wire is in contact with the second side end face. The welding wire and the weldment are made of metal materials, when the welding wire is in contact with the surface of the weldment, the welding wire and the weldment form a conductive loop, the current on the welding wire is obviously increased, and a voltage value generated due to current surge can be accurately detected through a voltage detection device on the welding gun, so that when the voltage value of the welding wire is detected to be increased and changed, the fact that the welding wire is in contact with the surface of the weldment can be confirmed. Particularly, since different metal materials have different conductivities, if the second side end surface and the first side end surface are different metal materials, the first preset threshold value and the second preset threshold value can be set to different values, so that accurate voltage change values can be obtained according to different metal materials; if the second side end face and the first side end face are made of the same metal material, the first preset threshold value and the second preset threshold value can be set to be the same numerical value, meanwhile, in the moving process of the welding gun, the phenomenon of mistaken contact such as scratch and the like can occur, and further, the mistaken detection voltage with a smaller numerical value is generated, and the setting of the first preset threshold value and the second preset threshold value can avoid the mistaken detection voltage with a smaller numerical value as the contact voltage with the first side end face or the second side end face; in addition, both the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold may be set to 0, that is, when the voltage value is greater than 0, it is determined that the welding gun has contacted the base material, and when the voltage value is equal to 0, it is determined that the welding gun has not contacted the base material.
And S120, emitting laser beams along a connecting line of the first target position point and the second target position point through a laser emitter, and acquiring a weld groove image through a laser camera.
The laser emitter can be installed on the welding gun or installed near the welding gun, for example, on a connecting rod driving the welding gun to move, and is installed near the welding gun, and is used for emitting a laser beam to the upper surface of the welding part from above the welding part, the laser emitter emits laser along a connecting line of a first target position point and a second target position point, because the first target position point and the second target position point are respectively located at two sides of a groove, the laser beam emitted by the laser emitter can certainly pass through the groove, when the laser beam irradiates on the surface of the welding part, a clear laser path can be displayed in a welding groove image acquired by a laser camera, but at the groove position, due to the depression of the groove, the groove position does not present a welding groove image, as shown in fig. 1D, and a middle broken welding groove image can be acquired.
S130, determining a target central point of the groove according to the weld groove image, and controlling the welding gun to move to the target central point.
As shown in fig. 1D, an end point a and an end point B in the weld groove image are intersection points of the laser beam path and the groove edge, a midpoint of a connection line between the end point a and the end point B is a point on the groove center line, and then the welding gun is controlled to move to the target center point according to coordinates of the point, and a welding operation is performed from the target center point, so that it is ensured that a welding track is at the center line position of the groove, the melted welding wires are uniformly distributed on both sides of the groove center line, and then a desired weld is obtained after cooling, and welding requirements of the welding process are met.

When the welding gun performs a welding task, the welding wire has a certain length requirement, for example, the length of the welding wire needs to reach 15 mm, and the depth of the groove is 20 mm, at this time, the welding gun needs to be controlled to move downwards by 5 mm through a longitudinal sliding mechanism, so that the welding wire contacts the bottom end of the groove. The depth information of the groove can be obtained by directly obtaining the thickness information of the weldment, and further the depth information of the groove is determined according to the thickness information of the weldment, for example, the depth of the groove is equal to the thickness of the weldment, and the depth of the groove is two thirds of the thickness of the weldment; the depth information of the groove can be measured and obtained through a laser measurement scale.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 1E, since the target center point is only determined to be located on the groove center line, the position of the target center point on the groove center line may be at any position of an upper end (e.g., point C), a middle end (e.g., point D), a lower end (e.g., point E), and the welding gun performs a welding operation by reciprocating motion during welding, when the welding gun reaches the boundary of the groove after welding up or down from the target center point, the welding operation is performed in a reverse direction, for example, the target center point is point C in fig. 1E, the welding gun performs welding down from point C along the groove center line, when the welding gun reaches the lower boundary of the groove, the welding operation is performed in a reverse direction again until the upper boundary of the groove, and then performs welding in a reverse direction down until the position of the welding gun returns to the point C and stops, that.
Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the controlling the welding gun to move to the target central point includes: and controlling the welding gun to move to the target central point through a ball screw. The ball screw cylinder rod is a transmission device for converting rotary motion into linear motion, has the characteristics of high precision, reversibility, high efficiency, small friction resistance and the like, and in the embodiment of the invention, kinetic energy generated by the rotary motion of balls in a ball screw is used for dragging a welding gun to move along the vertical direction; the ball screw may include a screw, a nut, a steel ball, a pre-pressing sheet, a reverser, a dust catcher, etc., and in the embodiment of the present invention, the constituent components of the ball screw are not particularly limited.
