4. A method for detecting an actual pressing position in a robot spot welding process is characterized by comprising the following steps:
step S10, obtaining teaching welding point position data and initial electrode image data, wherein the initial electrode image data comprises: the specific process of this step will be described in detail below with the image data of the initial electrode of the spot welding test piece and the image data of the initial electrode of the non-spot welding test piece:
and calibrating the actual size represented by each pixel in the image shot by the camera assembly by using a scale such as a steel plate ruler. The spot welding electrodes are ground and other teaching preparation work is done as required by the spot welding robot (e.g., adjusting spot welding electrode centering, and some brand robots may require the use of entirely new electrode teachings, so it may be necessary to check the electrode status and replace new spot welding electrodes before teaching). The camera assembly captures an image and transmits it to the control system 300. The electrode diameter is input in the control system 300, which in this embodiment is 16 mm.
The specific steps when there is the spot welding test piece 400 are as follows:
step 1, spot welding the test piece 400 on the test piece clamping mechanism 201, wherein the spot welding test piece 400 can be a single-layer test piece or a double-layer test piece. The thickness T of the spot welding test piece 400 is input to the control system 201, and in this example, the thickness T is 1.0 mm.
Step 2, as shown in fig. 2, operating the spot welding robot to keep the static electrode axis 124 perpendicular to the surface of the spot welding test piece 400, moving the movable electrode end surface 111 and the static electrode end surface 121 to a short distance from the two sides of the welding point on the test piece, and inserting a command for moving to the posture into the robot program in the image shot by the camera where the movable electrode 110, the static electrode 120 and the spot welding test piece 400 are not overlapped with each other.

Keeping the static electrode axis 124 perpendicular to the spot welding test piece 400 teaches a spot weld on the test piece and ensures that the spot weld is near the center of the captured image.
The procedure when there is no spot welding test piece 400 is as follows:
step 1, operating a spot welding robot, moving an end face 121 of a static electrode to be close to the center of an image of a camera, keeping the three-dimensional position and the posture of the static electrode 120, and only adjusting a movable electrode 110 to enable the end face 111 of the movable electrode to be a short distance away from the end face 121 of the static electrode;
step 2, the camera 202 shoots an image containing the static electrode 120 and the dynamic electrode 110 as initial electrode image data of the spot-welding-free test piece and transmits the shot image to the control system 300.
And 3, recording welding point positions in the robot program by taking the three-dimensional position of the static electrode 120 as a reference, and recording the welding point positions according to the thickness T of the welding point which is 0mm or the minimum value which can be accepted by the robot system if the thickness T of the welding point is required to be input in the robot program.
Step S20, obtaining spot welding command data by teaching spot welding position data, executing the spot welding command data to obtain image data of the total process of spot welding and image time of the total process of spot welding, and the specific process of this step will be described in detail below:
the control system 300 continuously detects the spot welding command starting and pressurizing ending signals sent by the robot control cabinet or the spot welding controller and records the time when the signals are received.
Depending on the purpose of the test, mode 1, mode 2, or both mode 1 and mode 2 are selected from the following modes.
1) Changing parameters such as electrode pressure;
2) and replacing or waiting for the spot welding electrode to wear for a certain length. At the moment, the spot welding electrode needs to be ground, and an electrode length detection program such as plate beating is operated according to a robot spot welding electrode length compensation strategy.
Continuously shooting images from the start of the spot welding command to the completion of the pressurization of the spot welding electrode, respectively obtaining the image data of the total spot welding process and the image time of the total spot welding process from the images shot when a spot welding test piece 400 exists and the images shot when no spot welding test piece 400 exists, and transmitting the image data of the total spot welding process and the image time of the total spot welding process to the control system 300, wherein the image data of the total spot welding process comprises the image data of the total spot welding process of the spot welding test piece and the image data of the total spot welding process of the spot welding test piece, and the image time of the total spot welding process comprises the image time of the total spot welding process of the spot welding test piece and the image time of the total spot welding process of the spot welding test piece.
Step S30, obtaining total electrode position data and total electrode front image data by spot welding the total process image data and the initial electrode image data, and obtaining a total target pressing position by the total electrode position data, where the total target pressing position is a total spot welding joint position, and the specific process of this step will be described in detail below:
the initial electrode image data and the total spot welding process image data are combined to obtain an image in which only the movable electrode 110, the static electrode 120 and the test piece 300 (when there is a spot welding test piece) remain, the obtained image is shown in fig. 4, the total spot welding process image data with the background removed is binarized to obtain an image shown in fig. 6, and the image is subjected to edge extraction to obtain an image shown in fig. 6. Obtaining the total moving electrode axis 114 of the moving electrode 110 and the total moving electrode axis 124 of the moving electrode 120 through the graph shown in fig. 6, and obtaining the total moving electrode end face vertex 112 as the intersection point of the total moving electrode axis 114 and the moving electrode 110, wherein the direction of the total moving electrode axis 124 is taken as the direction perpendicular to the surface of the workpiece at the welding point; the intersection of static electrode axis 124 and static electrode 120 is found to be total static electrode end face vertex 122, and thus the static electrode end face vertex 122 position is found.
The method comprises the following steps:
when no spot welding test piece exists: the position of the total static electrode end surface vertex 122 is set as the total target pressurizing position of the non-spot-welding test piece and the total spot-welding joint position of the non-spot-welding test piece.
When the spot welding test piece exists:
two intersection points of the connecting line of the total electrode end surface vertex 112 and the total static electrode end surface vertex 122 and the spot welding test piece 400 are obtained, and the obtained positions are used as the total target pressurizing position of the spot welding test piece and the total spot welding joint position of the spot welding test piece.
As shown in fig. 7, the coordinates of the inner contour line of the general electrode front region a10, the general electrode end face vertex 112 and the general electrode axis 114 are recorded as the geometrical and dimensional characteristic data of the dynamic electrode; the coordinates of the inner contour of total static electrode front area a20, total static electrode end face apex 122, and total static electrode axis 124 are recorded as static electrode geometry, dimensional characteristic data.
As shown in fig. 8, in order to avoid the feature shape and size on the spot welding electrode being occluded or coincident with other contour lines during subsequent shape matching,
selecting data in the total electrode front region a10 except for the portion of the contour near the electrode end face 111 to obtain a total electrode region a 10' including the contour of the electrode side 113, the total electrode axis 114, and the coordinates of the total electrode end face apex 112;
the data in total static electrode front region a20, excluding the portion of the contour near the dynamic electrode end face 121, is selected to yield a total static electrode region a 20' including the contour of total static electrode side 123, total dynamic electrode axis 124, and the coordinates of total dynamic electrode end face apex 122.
Step S40, obtaining vertex position data of each frame of electrode and capturing time data of each frame of image from the total electrode position data and the total electrode front image data, where the vertex position data of each frame of electrode includes: each frame of moving electrode vertex position data and each frame of static electrode vertex position data specifically comprise the following steps:
and analyzing the total electrode position data and the total electrode front image data frame by frame to obtain the positions of the dynamic electrode end surface vertex 112 and the static electrode end surface vertex 122 in each frame of image. The process is as follows:
it is assumed that a certain frame image is photographed as shown in fig. 9, and an image obtained by binarizing fig. 9 and extracting edges is shown in fig. 10. Images in a certain range on both sides of the middle of the image in the Y-axis direction as shown in fig. 10 are deleted regardless of the presence or absence of the work, resulting in the image shown in fig. 11. Solving equations of the static electrode axis 114 and the dynamic electrode axis 124; as shown in fig. 12, the pattern in the total electrode area a 10' is "copied" into fig. 11 as an image block that can be moved and rotated as a whole, and shape matching is performed: with the movable electrode axis in the total movable electrode region a10 ' guaranteed to coincide with the movable electrode axis of fig. 11, the position of the pattern in the total movable electrode region a10 ' is moved stepwise along the movable electrode axis and the sum of the dot pitches of the same portion of the pattern on the movable electrode of fig. 12, the Y-axis coordinate of which is the same as the total movable electrode region a10 ', is calculated. The shape of the dynamic electrode in the total dynamic electrode region a10 'is considered to completely match a portion of the dynamic electrode in fig. 12 when the sum of the point distances attains a minimum, and the position of the dynamic electrode end face apex 112 in the total dynamic electrode region a 10' in fig. 12 at that time is taken as the position of the dynamic electrode end face apex 112 in fig. 12. Similarly, the coordinates of the stationary-electrode end-face apex 122 in fig. 11 are obtained.
Step S50, obtaining each frame of actual pressurizing position through each frame of electrode vertex position data, and obtaining actual pressurizing position relative time curve data through each frame of actual pressurizing position and each frame of image shooting time data, wherein the method specifically comprises the following steps:
when no spot welding test piece is present:
the distance between the moving electrode end surface vertex 112 and the static electrode end surface vertex 122 is calculated frame by frame, and when the distance is less than 0.2mm, the electrode is considered to be in contact with the electrode, and the control system 300 takes the time when the pressurizing end signal sent by the robot control cabinet or the spot welding controller is detected as the pressurizing completion time. The position where the electrode and the workpiece start to contact the apex 122 of the end face of the stationary electrode during the completion of pressing is set as the position of the actual pressing position, and a curve of the actual pressing position with respect to time is obtained.
When there is a spot welding test piece:
calculating the distance between the vertex 112 of the end face of the moving electrode and the top of the spot welding test piece 400 frame by frame, and when the distance is less than 0.2mm, considering that the moving electrode and the workpiece start to contact; calculating the distance between the vertex 122 of the end surface of the static electrode and the bottom of the spot welding test piece 400 frame by frame, and when the distance is less than 0.2mm, considering that the static electrode and the workpiece start to contact; the control system 300 sets the time when the pressurizing end signal from the robot control cabinet or the spot welding controller is detected as the pressurizing completion time. Calculating the position of the electrode and the workpiece from frame to frame in the actual pressurizing position after the electrode and the workpiece are in contact with each other according to the following rule: when two spot welding electrodes are contacted with a workpiece, the actual pressurizing position is the middle point on the connecting line of the moving electrode end face vertex 112 and the static electrode end face vertex 122; when only 1 electrode is in contact with the workpiece, the actual pressing position is a position where the electrode end surface apex of the electrode in contact with the workpiece is shifted by 0.5T, 0.5mm in this embodiment, toward the inside of the spot welded joint.
In addition, when the backlight assembly 203 is a backlight assembly that can emit light under the control of an external signal, the backlight may be turned on before each shot and turned off after each shot. The input electrode diameter may be used as a calibration reference in the control system 300: the control system 300 compares the measured diameter of the electrode cap from the image with the actual dimension represented by each pixel in the image captured by the calibration camera assembly 202 using a scale such as a steel plate ruler to correct the measured actual compression position.
