In addition, in the periodic swinging process of the laser beam, the solidified melt can be remelted, and the effect of refining weld joint structure grains can be achieved.

The welding seam control method provided by the invention realizes real-time tracking of the welding seam generation path, corrects the path deviation of the laser welding module in time, ensures that the laser welding module moves according to the preset welding seam direction, and prevents welding deviation. The tracking principle is as follows:
after excitation current signals are introduced into the excitation coil, the excitation coil generates an alternating magnetic field in the surrounding space, and the surface of the welding seam induces the alternating current field due to the existence of skin effect. Before soldering, since the materials of the first solder and the second solder are the same, the resistivity in the solder joint region is almost the same everywhere, and thus, the electric field lines in the alternating current field are parallel and uniformly distributed to each other. When the welding seam is welded, a welding joint is formed at the welding seam, the resistivity at the edge of the welding seam is obviously larger than that of surrounding areas, the alternating current field is distorted due to the change of the resistivity, the uniform distribution of the electric field lines is destroyed, the electric field lines can be converged and deflected at the edge of the welding seam, the current density at the edge of the welding seam is reduced, the distribution of the electric field lines at the edge of the welding seam is looser, and the density distribution of the alternating magnetic field generated by the exciting coil is correspondingly changed. The induction electromotive force generated by the change of the density distribution of the alternating magnetic field can be obtained by measuring the magnetic flux change of the induction coil, the induction coil converts the induction electromotive force into an induction current signal, and the welding control module compares the excitation current signal with the induction current signal to obtain the path information of the welding seam.

In the invention, the induction magnetic field generated by the exciting coil can be used for tracking a welding seam, and can also be used for simultaneously carrying out electromagnetic stirring on the melt in the molten pool, so that the solder melt in the molten pool forms vortex, the interaction between the vortex and the magnetic field generates Lorentz force and magnetic pressure, the strength of the magnetic field is far greater than the dynamic pressure of the solder melt, so that the solder melt generates strong vibration, the welding pool is promoted to be fully stirred, and the stirring vibration has the effects that:
(1) The supercooling degree in the solidification of the melt is increased, and the nucleation rate is improved, so that the crystallization condition of the solder melt in a welding pool is improved, and the welding solidification process and the temperature field distribution are changed;
(2) Forced convection is caused in the melt by magnetic stirring vibration, so that the growth process of dendrites in the solidification process is inhibited, or broken dendrite fragments are formed, and broken dendrite particles are dissociated in the melt at the front of crystallization to become new nucleation centers, so that the equiaxed crystal proportion is increased, coarse dendrites are reduced, the crystallization orientation is improved, and finally, the tissue refinement is realized;
(3) And air holes in the solder melt are discharged through electromagnetic stirring, so that the welding defect rate is reduced, and the toughness of the welding seam is improved.
Because the welding process of the CT tube and the titanium window has extremely strict requirements on the welding tightness, the structure grains at the welding seam are required to be thinned as far as possible, so that the structure grains are uniform, and the phenomenon of stress concentration is prevented from occurring, thereby causing the cracking at the welding seam. Therefore, in order to ensure the welding requirement, the invention is applied to the narrow gap welding process of the CT tube and the titanium window in a mode of combining the laser beam space spiral swing mode and the pulsed magnetic field vortex disturbance, and realizes the refinement of the narrow gap weld joint structure grains of the CT tube and the titanium window on the premise of ensuring the welding quality, so that the impact toughness of a welding joint between the CT tube and the titanium window is greatly improved by about 50 percent compared with a base metal.
As a preferable technical scheme of the invention, the appearance detection unit comprises an industrial camera, a laser transmitter, a collimating lens, a vibrating mirror and a driving motor, wherein the vibrating mirror is close to the transmitting end of the laser transmitter, the collimating lens is arranged between the vibrating mirror and the laser transmitter, and the driving motor drives the vibrating mirror to rotate;

The reflection surface of the vibrating mirror is driven by the driving motor to reciprocally rotate at a preset frequency within a preset angle, so that grating stripes reciprocally move at a weld groove, and different positions of the weld groove are projected;

Filtering the reduced grating image by using a Gaussian-Laplace operator, and removing the reflected light interference of the grating at the weld groove to obtain a grating image with clear stripes;

In the present invention, the grating image obtained by the structured light needs to be subjected to noise reduction processing, and noise can be classified into stationary noise and non-stationary noise according to statistical characteristics, the stationary noise being non-time-varying, and the non-stationary noise being time-varying. In the weld control method provided by the invention, electromagnetic wave interference generated by the exciting coil and the induction coil is stable noise, and noise generated by splash, arc light, weldment reflection and the like is non-stable noise. In order to filter stationary noise and non-stationary noise simultaneously, the invention adopts a Gaussian-Laplacian operator for filtering, and the filtering method has maximum response at the center point of the grating stripe, and can separate the grating stripe from interference noise such as electromagnetic wave interference, splash interference, arc light interference, weldment reflection and the like.
In the invention, the width of the grating stripe at the weld groove is 5 pixels, and the grating stripe is positioned at the maximum response value of the Gaussian-Laplacian operator. Therefore, in the raster image, noises such as arc light, spatter, smoke dust, and weldment reflection, which have a pixel width of more than 5 pixels, are suppressed. After being processed by a Gaussian-Laplace operator, the grating has uniform stripe width, and the stripe strength is inhibited in a wider stripe area; in the area where the stripes are narrower, the stripe strength is enhanced. The processed grating image has clear and sharp edges, no noise interference such as electromagnetic waves, arc lights, splashes, smoke dust, weldment reflection and the like, and various dimension parameters of a welding groove can be more accurately calculated according to the grating image, so that the follow-up accurate adjustment of the welding parameters is facilitated.
In addition, as the welding line between the CT tube and the titanium window is a curve, the invention is preferably provided with the industrial cameras on two sides of the welding line respectively, and the two industrial cameras shoot grating images of the welding line surface from different sides, so that the curvature calculation of the curve welding line can be realized, the curve welding line is used for predicting the trend of the welding line, reliable data is provided for the posture adjustment and the path adjustment of the laser welding module, and the accurate control capability of the movement track of the laser welding module is improved.
In step (4), the welding control module calculates a path offset according to the real-time path of the laser welding module and the weld target path acquired by the path tracking unit, and controls the moving path of the laser welding module, and specifically includes the following steps:
inputting a target path parameter consisting of a target x coordinate and a target y coordinate into the welding control module, wherein the target x coordinate is arranged along the welding line direction, and the target y coordinate is arranged along the direction perpendicular to the welding line direction;
the path tracking unit acquires real-time x coordinates and real-time y coordinates of real-time path parameters and inputs the real-time x coordinates and the real-time y coordinates into the welding control module;
The welding control module calculates welding path offset delta x in the x direction according to the target x coordinate and the real-time x coordinate, and calculates welding path offset delta y in the y direction according to the target y coordinate and the real-time y coordinate;
and the welding control module controls the moving path of the laser welding module according to the welding path offset delta x and delta y.
As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the step (5), the adjusting process of the laser welding parameter includes:
t < th > at the time of welding n At moment, acquiring the weld groove morphology parameters at the current moment through the morphology detection unit comprises the following steps: the total height M of the first solder and the second solder n A gap height N between the first solder and the second solder n Gap width S between the first solder and the second solder n The bevel angle alpha between the first solder and the second solder n

In the welding method provided by the embodiment, the laser beam emitted by the laser welding module 4 periodically swings in the welding molten pool according to different moving tracks, so that a larger gradient temperature change is formed in the molten pool, and the surface tension of the molten pool is affected, so that the effect of refining welding structure grains is realized. In addition, during the periodic oscillation of the laser beam, the solidified melt can be remelted, and the effect of refining the structural grains of the weld joint 7 can be achieved.
In some embodiments, the weld monitoring module includes a path tracking unit 5 and a profile detection unit 6 electrically connected to the welding control module 14, respectively; in the welding process, the path tracking unit 5 and the profile detection unit 6 synchronously move along with the laser welding module 4 so as to track the moving path of the laser welding module 4 and the profile of the groove of the welding line 7 in real time.
The appearance detection unit 6 is located at the front end of the laser welding module 4, and in the welding process, the appearance detection unit 6 enters the to-be-welded area before the laser welding module 4, and the appearance detection unit 6 scans the groove appearance of the welding seam 7 before the to-be-welded area is not welded so as to determine the operation parameters of the to-be-welded area during welding.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the path tracing unit 5 includes an exciting coil 15, an induction coil 16, an exciting power supply 13, a power amplifying circuit 20, a shaping filter circuit 17, an operational amplifying circuit 18, and an analog-to-digital conversion circuit 19.
The exciting power supply 13 has a first output end and a second output end, and the first output end is electrically connected with the exciting coil 15 through the power amplifying circuit 20; the second output end is electrically connected with the welding control module 14; the excitation power source 13 simultaneously sends excitation current signals to the excitation coil 15 and the welding control module 14 through the first output terminal and the second output terminal.
The output end of the induction coil 16 is electrically connected with the shaping filter circuit 17, the operational amplifier circuit 18 and the analog-to-digital conversion circuit 19 in sequence, and the output end of the analog-to-digital conversion circuit 19 is electrically connected with the welding control module 14.
An induction coil 16 is located above the weld 7 and an excitation coil 15 is located above the induction coil 16.
In step (3), the real-time tracking process of the moving path of the laser welding module 4 includes:
the excitation power supply 13 outputs an excitation current signal with a sine waveform, the excitation current signal drives the excitation coil 15 through the power amplification circuit 20, and the excitation coil 15 generates an induction magnetic field;
the induction coil 16 converts the induction magnetic field generated by the exciting coil 15 into an induction current signal, and the induction current signal is processed by the shaping and filtering circuit 17, the operational amplification circuit 18 and the analog-to-digital conversion circuit 19 and then is input to the welding control module 14 in synchronization with the excitation current signal output by the excitation power supply 13.
The conductivity at the center of the welding line 7 is different from that at the vicinity of the groove of the welding line 7, when the center of the welding line 7 deflects, the normal magnetic field component at the center of the welding line 7 changes, so that the waveform of the induced current signal is influenced, and the welding control module 14 calculates the deflection displacement of the welding line 7 according to the waveform of the induced current signal, so that the real-time moving path of the laser welding module 4 is obtained.
The control method for the welding seam 7 provided by the embodiment realizes real-time tracking of the generation path of the welding seam 7, corrects the path deviation of the laser welding module 4 in time, ensures that the laser welding module 4 moves along the preset direction of the welding seam 7, and prevents the welding deviation. The tracking principle is as follows:
After excitation current signals are introduced into the excitation coil 15, the excitation coil 15 generates an alternating magnetic field in the surrounding space, and the surface of the welding line 7 induces the alternating current field due to the existence of skin effect. Before soldering, since the materials of the first solder 1 and the second solder 2 are the same, the resistivity in the region of the solder joint 7 is almost the same everywhere, and thus, the electric field lines in the alternating current field are parallel to each other and uniformly distributed. When the welding seam 7 is welded, a welding joint is formed at the welding seam 7, the resistivity at the edge of the welding seam 7 is obviously larger than that of surrounding areas, the alternating current field is distorted due to the change of the resistivity, the uniform distribution of the electric field lines is destroyed, the electric field lines can be converged and deflected at the edge of the welding seam 7, the current density at the edge of the welding seam 7 is reduced, the distribution of the electric field lines at the edge of the welding seam 7 is looser, and the density distribution of the alternating magnetic field generated by the exciting coil 15 is correspondingly changed. By measuring the magnetic flux change of the induction coil 16, the induced electromotive force generated by the change of the density distribution of the alternating magnetic field can be obtained, the induction coil 16 converts the induced electromotive force into an induced current signal, and the welding control module 14 compares the excited current signal with the induced current signal, so that the path information of the welding seam 7 can be obtained.
In some embodiments, step (2) further comprises:
in the welding process, excitation current signals are introduced into the excitation coil 15 through the excitation power supply 13, so that an induction magnetic field is generated around the excitation coil 15, and the induction magnetic field carries out electromagnetic stirring on the solder melt in the molten pool so as to refine the structure of the welding seam 7.
The peak value of the exciting current signal output by the exciting power supply 13 is 100-200A, the frequency of the exciting current signal output by the exciting power supply 13 is 20-30Hz, and the duty ratio of the exciting current signal output by the exciting power supply 13 is 0.2-0.5.
In this embodiment, the induced magnetic field generated by the exciting coil 15 may be used to track the weld 7, and also may be used to simultaneously perform electromagnetic stirring on the melt in the molten pool, so that the solder melt in the molten pool forms an eddy current, the eddy current and the magnetic field interact to generate lorentz force and magnetic pressure, the strength of the lorentz force and the magnetic pressure is far greater than the dynamic pressure of the solder melt, so that the solder melt generates strong vibration, and the welding molten pool is caused to be sufficiently stirred, where the stirring vibration has the effects that:
(1) The supercooling degree in the solidification of the melt is increased, and the nucleation rate is improved, so that the crystallization condition of the solder melt in a welding pool is improved, and the welding solidification process and the temperature field distribution are changed;
(2) Forced convection is caused in the melt by magnetic stirring vibration, so that the growth process of dendrites in the solidification process is inhibited, or broken dendrite fragments are formed, and broken dendrite particles are dissociated in the melt at the front of crystallization to become new nucleation centers, so that the equiaxed crystal proportion is increased, coarse dendrites are reduced, the crystallization orientation is improved, and finally, the tissue refinement is realized;
(3) And air holes in the solder melt are discharged through electromagnetic stirring, so that the welding defect rate is reduced, and the toughness of the welding seam 7 is improved.
Because the welding process of the CT tube and the titanium window has extremely strict requirements on the welding tightness, the structure grains at the welding seam 7 are required to be thinned as far as possible, so that the structure grains are uniform, and the phenomenon of stress concentration is prevented from occurring, thereby causing the cracking at the welding seam 7. Therefore, in order to ensure the welding requirement, the method of combining the laser beam space spiral swing mode and the pulsed magnetic field vortex disturbance is applied to the narrow gap welding process of the CT tube and the titanium window, and on the premise of ensuring the welding quality, the structure grain refinement of the narrow gap welding seam 7 of the CT tube and the titanium window is realized, so that the impact toughness of a welding joint between the CT tube and the titanium window is greatly improved, and the impact toughness is improved by about 50% compared with a base metal.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the morphology detection unit 6 includes an industrial camera 8, a laser transmitter 9, a collimating lens 10, a vibrating mirror 11 and a driving motor 12, the vibrating mirror 11 is close to the transmitting end of the laser transmitter 9, the collimating lens 10 is arranged between the vibrating mirror 11 and the laser transmitter 9, and the driving motor 12 drives the vibrating mirror 11 to rotate.
In the step (3), the process of monitoring the groove morphology of the weld 7 in real time comprises the following steps:
the laser emitter 9 emits scanning laser, the scanning laser forms structural light with grating stripes after being reflected by the reflecting surface of the vibrating mirror 11 and projects the structural light to the groove of the welding line 7 at the non-welded position, and the curved grating stripes are formed at the groove of the welding line 7;
the reflecting surface of the vibrating mirror 11 is driven by a driving motor 12 to reciprocally rotate at a preset frequency within a preset angle, so that grating stripes reciprocally move at the groove of the welding seam 7, and different positions of the groove of the welding seam 7 are projected;
the industrial camera 8 shoots a grating image formed at the groove of the welding line 7 and transmits the grating image to the welding control module 14, and the welding control module 14 processes the grating image to obtain the morphological parameters of the groove of the welding line 7.
The processing process of the grating image comprises the following steps:
the welding control module 14 windows the original raster image according to the history information, reducing the pixel size of the original raster image by 90-95%.
And filtering the reduced grating image by adopting a Gaussian-Laplacian operator, and removing the reflected light interference of the grating at the groove of the welding line 7 to obtain the grating image with clear stripes.
Calculating the dimension parameters of the shape of the groove of the welding line 7 according to the processed grating image, wherein the dimension parameters comprise: the total height of the first solder 1 and the second solder 2, the height of the gap between the first solder 1 and the second solder 2, the width of the gap between the first solder 1 and the second solder 2, and the bevel angle between the first solder 1 and the second solder 2.
In this embodiment, the grating image obtained by the structured light needs to be subjected to noise reduction processing, and noise can be classified into stationary noise and non-stationary noise according to statistical characteristics, the stationary noise being non-time-varying, and the non-stationary noise being time-varying. In the control method of the weld joint 7 provided in the present embodiment, electromagnetic wave interference generated by the exciting coil 15 and the induction coil 16 is stationary noise, and noise generated by spatter, arc light, weldment reflection, and the like is non-stationary noise. In order to filter stationary noise and non-stationary noise simultaneously, the present embodiment uses a gaussian-laplace operator for filtering, and the filtering method has the maximum response at the center point of the grating stripe, and can separate the grating stripe from interference noise such as electromagnetic wave interference, splash interference, arc interference, weldment reflection, and the like.
In this embodiment, the width of the grating stripe at the groove of the weld 7 is 5 pixels, which is at the maximum response value of the gaussian-laplace operator. Therefore, in the raster image, noises such as arc light, spatter, smoke dust, and weldment reflection, which have a pixel width of more than 5 pixels, are suppressed. After being processed by a Gaussian-Laplace operator, the grating has uniform stripe width, and the stripe strength is inhibited in a wider stripe area; in the area where the stripes are narrower, the stripe strength is enhanced. The processed grating image has clear and sharp edges, no noise interference such as electromagnetic waves, arc light, splashes, smoke dust, weldment reflection and the like, and various size parameters of the groove of the welding line 7 can be more accurately calculated according to the grating image, so that the follow-up accurate adjustment of the welding parameters is facilitated.
In addition, since the weld 7 between the CT tube and the titanium window in the present embodiment is a curve, in the present embodiment, one industrial camera 8 is preferably disposed on each of two sides of the weld 7, and the two industrial cameras 8 shoot the grating images of the surface of the weld 7 from different sides, so that curvature calculation of the curve weld 7 can be implemented, which is used for predicting the trend of the weld 7, reliable data is provided for posture adjustment and path adjustment of the laser welding module 4, and the precise control capability of the movement track of the laser welding module 4 is improved.
In some embodiments, in step (4), the welding control module 14 calculates the path offset according to the real-time path of the laser welding module 4 and the target path of the weld 7 acquired by the path tracking unit 5, and controls the moving path of the laser welding module 4, and specifically includes the following steps:
inputting a target path parameter consisting of a target x coordinate and a target y coordinate into the welding control module 14, wherein the target x coordinate is arranged along the direction of the welding line 7, and the target y coordinate is arranged along the direction perpendicular to the direction of the welding line 7;
the path tracking unit 5 acquires a real-time x coordinate and a real-time y coordinate of the real-time path parameter and inputs the real-time x coordinate and the real-time y coordinate into the welding control module 14;
the welding control module 14 calculates a welding path offset deltax in the x-direction from the target x-coordinate and the real-time x-coordinate, and calculates a welding path offset deltay in the y-direction from the target y-coordinate and the real-time y-coordinate;
the welding control module 14 controls the movement path of the laser welding module 4 according to the welding path offsets deltax and deltay.
In some embodiments, in step (5), the adjusting of the laser welding parameters includes:
t < th > at the time of welding n At moment, the morphology parameters of the groove 7 of the welding line at the current moment are obtained through the morphology detection unit 6, and the method comprises the following steps: total height M of first solder 1 and second solder 2 n Gap height N between first solder 1 and second solder 2 n Gap width S between first solder 1 and second solder 2 n The bevel angle alpha between the first solder 1 and the second solder 2 n
T < th > at the time of welding n+1 At moment, the morphology parameters of the groove 7 of the welding line at the current moment are obtained through the morphology detection unit 6, and the method comprises the following steps: total height M of first solder 1 and second solder 2 n+1 Gap height N between first solder 1 and second solder 2 n+1 Gap width S between first solder 1 and second solder 2 n+1 The bevel angle alpha between the first solder 1 and the second solder 2 n+1

formula (4);
The laser welding module 4 emits a laser beam to the welding region according to the corrected welding current and welding power.
Because the control method of the welding seam 7 provided by the embodiment aims at the welding process of the CT tube and the titanium window, the welding seam between the CT tube and the titanium window is a curved surface, the morphology of the groove of the welding seam 7 changes along with the advancing time of the welding process, and if the same welding parameters are adopted, the welding seam is penetrated or the welding seam cannot be completely melted, so that the welding performance is affected. Therefore, the embodiment utilizes the groove morphology of the welding seam 7 detected by the groove morphology unit to adjust the welding parameters in real time, realizes the dynamic adjustment of the welding parameters, calculates the corresponding welding current and welding power under the current groove morphology condition in real time according to the size parameters such as the solder height, the gap width, the groove angle and the like acquired by the groove morphology unit, controls the laser welding module 4 to adjust the welding current and the welding power in time through the welding control module 14, can solve the problem of weld defect caused by groove morphology change and unmatched heat input, simultaneously reduces the cost of labor materials, shortens the production period and improves the welding efficiency.
