Detailed Description
The following describes the embodiments of the present invention further with reference to the drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, the rapier transfer mechanism includes a plurality of sets of rapiers 1 arranged in the transfer direction and an endless transfer mechanism 5, and the rapiers 1 are uniformly distributed on the endless transfer mechanism 5. Each group of rapier 1 comprises a plurality of support structures 2 which are arranged in a row, each support structure 2 is provided with two support points 3, and suction cups are arranged on the support points 3 and used for sucking steel plates. Each support structure 2 is provided with a motor 4 for driving the two support points 3 in 360 degrees rotation in the horizontal direction. The magnetic grating ruler 6 is attached to the chain surface on both sides of the annular conveying mechanism 5, and the magnetic grating ruler 6 is located between the laser cutting areas a-b of the mechanism 5.
Based on the above structure, the application discloses a dynamic pre-adjustment method of a rapier conveying mechanism, as shown in fig. 2, comprising the following steps:
Step 1: typesetting the cutting pattern on a steel plate with a preset length by using trepanning software, and determining the cutting track of the machine tool.
As shown in fig. 3, a is a contour line of a known cutting pattern, that is, a cutting track of a workpiece to be processed, and is an irregular pattern; and B1-Bn are sets of supporting structures 2 on a plurality of groups of rapier 1 positioned in a cutting pattern, D1-D2n are supporting points 3 on the supporting structures 2, each B1-Bn is controlled by a corresponding motor respectively, so that D1-D2n can rotate clockwise and anticlockwise in 360 degrees and horizontally, and the position distribution of the supporting points 3 is adjusted, wherein n is the number of the supporting structures 2 positioned in a single cutting pattern, and n=5 in the application.
Step 2: n groups of initial populations are randomly generated, wherein each group of initial populations comprises N angle variables, and the angle variables are encoded.
Wherein the angle variable is an included angle between the connecting line of the two supporting points 3 in each supporting structure 2 and the set initial position, the included angle ranges from 0 degrees to 360 degrees, and N angle variables are respectively given to B1-Bn, namely, each supporting structure corresponds to N angle variables. In the present application, the initial position is set according to the actual situation, for example, the initial position of the connection of the two supporting points 3 is horizontal to the steel sheet conveying direction, that is, the connection position of the supporting points 3 as shown in fig. 1 (a).
Encoding the angle variable specifically includes: for each angle variable, a random binary number is generated within the threshold value to form a chromosome, namely, the value of the gene on the chromosome is randomly selected from 0 and 1, and the value is required to be between 0 and 360 DEG after being converted into decimal.
Step 3: the fitness value of each initial population is calculated based on the predetermined target condition.
In the application, the angle variable combination of B1-Bn is set as a solution set, and the optimal angle adjusted by the rapier support point 3 is calculated offline by using a genetic algorithm so as to meet the following two preset target conditions:
(1) The contour A of the single cutting pattern does not coincide with each supporting point Di located therein;
(2) Each supporting point Di in the single cutting pattern is uniformly distributed, so that each workpiece cut along the cutting track is uniformly stressed.
In the application, as the arrangement of the supporting points Di on the multiple groups of rapier is determined by the angles of the supporting points and the cutting track are both of known quantity, aiming at the problem of the visual image of the computer, the opencv library of PYTHON is called, so that the information of the coincident points can be calculated, and how the supporting points are distributed is more reasonable.
Step 3 specifically comprises the following sub-steps:
For each initial population:
Step 31: if the contour A of the single cutting pattern is coincident with the supporting point Di located in the contour A, the first fitness score of the supporting structure Bi corresponding to the supporting point Di is recorded as: f1 (B i) =x, where B i represents the ith support structure, x takes a constant value well above 1, such as x takes 1000 or more, in order to distinguish from the scoring of the non-coincident points. As shown in fig. 3, the first fitness score of the support structure B4 corresponding to the support point D5 is recorded as: f1 (B 4) =1000.
Otherwise, the first fitness score of the support structure Bi corresponding to the misaligned support point Di is recorded as: f1 (B i) =1.
Step 32: acquiring coordinate components (Xi, yi) of two supporting points Di of each supporting structure Bi under the current mechanism XY coordinate system; comparing whether Xi and Yi of all supporting points Di in the cutting graph are the same or not respectively, if the same Xi or Yi exists, the first part scores of the second fitness of the two groups of supporting structures with the same coordinate components are recorded as follows if at least two groups of supporting structures are in the same X or Y direction and do not accord with the condition of uniform distribution: f1 (B i) =y, where y takes a constant value well above 1, such as y takes 1000; otherwise scoring a first portion of the second fitness of the support structure for the different coordinate components as: f1 (B i) =1.
Step 33: for two adjacent supporting structures and two supporting structures at the head and the tail, respectively calculating the shortest linear distance between two supporting points of the front supporting structure and two supporting points of the rear supporting structure, taking the minimum value of the two supporting structures as Li and marking the second part score of the second fitness as: Where Ls is the circumference of the individual cut pattern, a smaller sum of Li indicates a denser distribution of the support points Di, deviating from the ideal effect, whereas a uniform dispersion of the support points Di indicates a closer to the ideal effect. For example, as shown in fig. 3, for adjacent B1, B2, four support points D1-D4 thereon share four distance combinations: D1-D3, D1-D4, D2-D3 and D2-D4, wherein the shortest distance is recorded as L1, the shortest distance between the B2 and the B3 support points is recorded as L2, and the shortest distance between the B5 and the B1 support points is recorded as L5.
The overall score for the second fitness of the support structure is then:
step 34: the fitness scores of all the support structures in the single cutting graph under the current coding angle are as follows:
wherein f j represents the fitness score of the jth initial population, the smaller the value, the higher the fitness; k 1、k2 is a weight coefficient, and 0.5 is taken.
Step 4: and selecting a group of populations with the smallest fitness value to directly inherit to the next generation population, and sequentially performing selection, crossing and mutation operations on the remaining populations according to the set probability to form the next generation population. Wherein:
(1) The selection operation of the residual population is carried out according to the set probability, and the selection operation comprises the following steps:
and selecting several groups of populations with small fitness values from the N-1 populations as next generation populations. That is, a new chromosome is generated by adopting a roulette selection mode, and the smaller the chromosome fitness value is, the larger the probability of being selected is.
(2) The remaining population performs cross operation according to the set probability, including:
and selecting a Pc, N/2 group population as a parent population according to the set crossover probability Pc from the remaining populations after the selection operation is performed. The two binary digits of each chromosome in the ancestor population are randomly swapped to generate a new chromosome.
(3) The residual population carries out mutation operation according to the set probability, which comprises the following steps:
and selecting a Pm-N group population as a parent population according to the set variation probability Pm in the remaining population after the crossover operation is performed. Inverting the value of one binary digit of each chromosome in the parent population to generate a new chromosome.
Step 5: after the operations of reservation, selection, crossing and mutation, a second generation population is formed, the steps 3 and 4 are re-executed until the set iteration times are reached, and the optimal angles which are uniformly distributed and avoid the cutting track of the machine tool for each supporting point within the preset length are output.
In the present application, the population size n=20, pc=0.60, pm=0.001, and the iteration number t=20 are set. The simulation result is shown in fig. 4, the drawing comprises the nesting condition of the workpiece shape on the steel plate, namely the laser cutting track and the distribution condition of the supporting points on the sword grating, the cutting track of each workpiece is not interfered with the supporting points, and the distribution of the supporting points is scientific and reasonable within the contour range of each workpiece, so that the steel plate is uniformly stressed, and the project requirement is met.
Step 6: before the rapier enters the laser cutting area, the motors at the corresponding positions are controlled to adjust the supporting structure according to the corresponding optimal angles.
Through the optimization calculation of the genetic algorithm, the angle value of each supporting point of each group of rapier on the steel plate within a certain distance (the constant value is between 20 meters and 50 meters) can be obtained, and the angle value is transmitted to a control system for pre-adjusting the angle of the supporting point in the cutting process. As shown in fig. 5, the schematic diagram is a top view of fig. 1 (c), and the dynamic adjustment process of the rapier support structure is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagram.
Step 61: the rapier is numbered from the starting position a of the laser cutting area according to the transmission direction.
In the application, 36 groups of rapier are numbered from 1 to 36, when in processing, the annular conveying mechanism 5 rotates infinitely in the clockwise direction, a is the processing initial position, b is the processing end position, the numbers are increased from 1 to 36 in the clockwise direction, and 1-2- … -36-1-2- … are circularly reciprocated.
Step 62: and a magnetic grating ruler reading head is arranged on the rapier with the preset number, and the real-time position distribution of all rapier on the annular conveying mechanism 5 is deduced according to the position of the magnetic grating ruler reading head on the magnetic grating ruler.
The selected number ensures that at least one reading head is positioned in the laser cutting area a-b at any moment, and if two reading heads are positioned in the laser cutting area, the reading heads with small numbers are used as the reference.
In the application, the number 1, 18 and 36 rapier with magnetic scale reading heads are set. According to the principle of the magnetic grating ruler, if the reading head is positioned on the magnetic strip between a and b, the distance between the two points of the grating distances a and b of the reading head can be calculated, so that the real-time distribution of 36 groups of the gratings on the annular conveying mechanism 5 is deduced, and the real-time distribution is also the basis and the premise of dynamic adjustment of the gratings.
Step 63: setting corresponding optimal angles for the supporting structures of each group of rapier according to a numbering circulation sequence, wherein the numbering circulation sequence refers to that after all rapier are sequenced from small to large, sequencing is continued from small to large, namely 1-2- … -36-1-2- …. Because the number of optimal angles output by the genetic algorithm is more than the number of rapier gates, repeated assignment exists.
Step 64: when the first cycle starts, the motors of the 6 groups of continuous rapier grids positioned at the left side of the starting position a of the laser cutting area are controlled to adjust the supporting structure in advance according to the optimal angle corresponding to the number, and the steel plate is conveyed by the starting mechanism 5.
Step 65: and when any rapier enters the adjusting area c-d in the transmission process, the motor is controlled to adjust the supporting structure in advance according to the optimal angle corresponding to the number.
Step 66: after the last cutting pattern of the steel plate with the preset length is finished, when the rapier closest to the starting position a reaches the position and meets the starting condition of the next group of circulation, setting the corresponding optimal angle for the supporting structure of each group of rapier according to the serial number circulation sequence from the position of the rapier, and starting the next group of circulation until the steel plate with the complete coil is cut.
Because the calculation time of the genetic algorithm is related to the number of cutting patterns, in actual industrial application, the number of the cut steel coils is mainly 500 meters, 800 meters and 1000 meters, if the adjustment angles of the rapier gates are calculated by the length of the whole steel coil, the calculation amount is huge, the time consumption is long, the output angle value is extremely huge, and in actual project application, if the midway fault cutting is interrupted, how to connect again is difficult to process, therefore, the preset length is set to be 50 meters, and the genetic algorithm only outputs the optimal angle set of each group of the rapier gates within the length of 50 meters, thereby better ensuring the quality and efficiency of cutting. The practical application result shows that if the cutting length is within 50 meters, the optimal result is obtained in 100 times of genetic iteration numbers, and the optimal result is good, so that the genetic algorithm can be applied to the design of the sword grid supporting point pre-control.
The method for pre-adjusting the angle of the supporting point of the rapier conveying mechanism not only avoids the error cutting of the rapier by laser, but also balances the center of gravity of a workpiece to be cut by the total weight of the supporting structure, so that the steel plate is uniformly stressed, and the method has the greatest benefit that the processing speed (linear motor structure, X Y shaft maximum speed of 120 m/min) of a machine tool is not limited by the steel plate conveying speed, the two are matched with each other, and the blanking efficiency is maximized, which is incomparable with the blanking line of the belt conveying structure.
The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and the present application is not limited to the above examples. It is to be understood that other modifications and variations which may be directly derived or contemplated by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and concepts of the present application are deemed to be included within the scope of the present application.
