Description

Three-dimensional visual tracking welding robot and control method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of welding, in particular to a three-dimensional visual tracking welding robot and a control method thereof.
Background
Welding is a comprehensive processing process combining light, electricity, heat and force, the heat generated in the welding process can cause a welding workpiece to generate larger thermal deformation, so that welding position deviation is generated, and in order to overcome the influence of the deviation, two modes are mainly used at present, and one mode adopts a high-precision clamp for positioning. Another method of weld seam tracking using sensors has been found by comparison to be much more economical than using precision clamps.
The welding seam tracking system is divided into arc sensing, contact sensing, ultrasonic sensing and visual sensing due to the difference of the sensors, wherein the visual sensing is far away from an arc strong light hot area, so that the amount of collected information is large, and people favor the welding seam tracking system. The vision sensor is used for converting optical images into electric signals, namely, converting light intensity information (such as visible light, laser, X-ray, infrared ray, ultraviolet ray or electron bombardment and the like) which is emitted by a person to a photosensitive surface of the sensor and is distributed according to space into electric signals which are output in series according to time sequence, namely, converting the electric signals into video signals.
At present, a vision sensor widely applied in welding is a CCD camera which is divided into a linear array and an area array, wherein the linear array CCD can shoot a one-dimensional image, and the area array CCD can shoot a two-dimensional plane image. The image picked up by the vision sensor is converted into a gray matrix after space sampling and analog-to-digital conversion, and the gray matrix is sent into a computer memory to generate a digital image. When the CCD works, signal congestion occurs when the data size is large, so that the requirement of high-speed reading of high-definition data during welding cannot be met. In addition, one-dimensional and two-dimensional plane images need to be judged and read manually by professionals, so that the welding production management cost is increased, and large-area continuous automatic operation is not facilitated. In addition, in the process of shooting, the existing visual sensor is limited by various conditions and interfered by random factors, image transformation, enhancement or recovery and other preprocessing are often carried out on the visual sensor, a three-dimensional welding seam is converted into an operable one-dimensional and two-dimensional model, so that phenomena such as noise filtration, gray scale correction, distortion and the like are caused, control variable parameters need to be added, and then the three-dimensional welding seam is sent to an execution mechanism to avoid interference, so that tracking control on the welding seam is realized. This results in problems of slow processing speed, false appearance, etc. in the actual operation of the vision sensor. In addition, the existing welding device has a single welding path, and is difficult to realize a complex welding path track.
The invention provides a three-dimensional visual tracking welding robot and a control method thereof, wherein a simulation system is adopted to set standard welding seam parameters, a basic welding seam path is generated according to detection signals of a focus module and a welding seam module and is compared with the standard welding seam set by the simulation system, welding can be carried out in a high-precision state, welding seam deviation and three-dimensional conversion errors existing in the traditional one-dimensional and two-dimensional modes are overcome, and the three-dimensional visual tracking welding robot is displayed by a three-dimensional digital model and is convenient to use.
