The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and the detailed description.
The invention provides a laser texturing system, which comprises laser texturing equipment, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, wherein the laser texturing equipment comprises a control system 1, a laser 2 and a turning mirror system 3, wherein:
the control system 1 is respectively connected with the laser 2 and the rotating mirror system 3 through a communication system, is internally provided with a laser texturing method and respectively controls the working states of the laser 2 and the rotating mirror system 3 according to a preset control method; the communication system comprises an optical fiber transmission system and a control signal transmission system, and realizes communication connection in a signal connection or electric connection mode;
the laser 2 receives a control instruction of the control system 1, starts and shuts down, and emits laser with preset parameters according to the control instruction; in the present embodiment, the laser 2 is a high-power pulse laser; furthermore, the laser 2 provided by the invention further comprises a laser head and other actuating mechanisms, which are conventional techniques and are not described in detail;
the rotating mirror system 3 comprises a polygon mirror 31, as shown in fig. 1, the polygon side surface of the polygon mirror 31 faces the direction of the laser 2, laser is incident on the side surface of the polygon mirror 31, the polygon mirror 31 is controlled to rotate by the control system 1, the incident angle of the laser on the polygon mirror 31 is changed, and after refraction, an X-direction cleaning texturing path is formed on the surface of the workpiece 5.
Further, a focusing mirror 32 is further arranged between the polygon mirror 31 and the laser head, the laser beam 4 is focused and then transmitted to the polygon mirror 31, a collimator 35 and a reflecting mirror 33 are further arranged between the laser head and the focusing mirror 32, the collimator 35 adjusts laser, and the reflecting mirror 33 adjusts the laser transmission direction; a lens 34 is provided between the light emitting direction of the polygon mirror 31 and the workpiece 5, and the lens 34 is a planar lens, which protects the entire rotary mirror system 3.
In this embodiment, the rotating polygon mirror 31 is used as the scanning mechanism instead of the conventional galvanometer system, the focusing mirror 32 is moved back and forth to dynamically adjust the focusing height of the laser beam 4, when the position of the focusing mirror 32 is fixed, the focal length of the focusing mirror 32 is fixed, the distance from the lens 34 to the surface of the workpiece 5 changes during the rotation process of the polygon mirror 31, that is, during the scanning process, as shown in fig. 2, a path 1 and a path 2 can be formed, and the focusing mirror 32 is adjusted back and forth to focus the laser beam 4, so that the total path of the laser beam 4 reaching the surface of the workpiece 5 through the focusing mirror 32 is equal to the focal length, the problem that the focal length of the laser beam acting on the surface of the workpiece 5 during the scanning process is uniform, and the problem that the roughening points are uneven due to the focal length change of the dynamic adjustment center region and the edge region is ensured, thereby ensuring that the uniform roughening effect is achieved during the roughening of the curved surface structure.
The movement amplitude of the focusing mirror 32 is correlated with the scanning amplitude, and the movement speed of the focusing mirror 31 is correlated with the polygon mirror rotation speed. In practical applications, the specific values of the laser parameters can be used to determine whether the collimator 35, the reflector 33, and the lens 34 need to be used, and the specific positions during the use process according to the cleaning and texturing requirements.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a focusing mirror 32 is disposed between the polygon mirror 31 and the reflecting mirror 33, and the setting angle of the reflecting mirror 33 is determined according to the degree of the included angle of the polygon mirror 31, so that the laser light is emitted to the working surface of the workpiece 5 at a preset angle after being continuously reflected by the reflecting mirror 33 and the polygon mirror 31. In practical applications, the focusing mirror 32 may also be disposed between the polygon mirror 31 and the workpiece 5, such as between the polygon mirror 31 and the lens 34, and between the lens 34 and the workpiece 5, and further, the focusing mirror 32 may also be integrated with the lens 34. The laser focal length can be adjusted by moving the position and the amplitude.
In the present embodiment, an obvious effect of using the turning mirror system 3 instead of the conventional galvanometer is that the scanning width of the laser is greatly expanded, and the working efficiency of laser texturing can be greatly improved. Taking an octahedral prism as an example, as shown in fig. 3, the prism rotates by an angle of 360 ° -8=45°, and the laser scans by an angle 2 times the rotation angle of the prism, that is, 45 ° -x2=90°, every time one reflecting surface is rotated. Considering the laser power and the optical path in combination, as shown in fig. 4, the theoretical linewidth of the laser scan is 800mm when the distance from the octahedral prism to the workpiece is 400 mm. The actual measured scan line width was 700mm, considering that the laser needs to be turned off (with some advance) at the corner angle.
Another obvious effect is to greatly increase the scanning speed, taking line width of 700mm as an example, setting the rotating speed of the high-speed motor driving the octahedral mirror to 1000r/min, the number of planes rotating within 1s to 8×1000/60=133 planes, and the scanning speed to 700mm×133/1 s=93 m/s.
Further, the laser texturing device provided in this embodiment may be widely used in texturing operations of various structural surfaces, and is particularly suitable for texturing operations of curved workpieces based on planar structures, and is matched with a corresponding mechanical arm 11 to implement automatic texturing operations.
The curved surface workpiece based on the planar structure, that is, the planar structure is used as a main body, curved surfaces are locally arranged, such as the roof, the side wall and the roof and the side wall connecting parts of the vehicle body, the middle part is a plane, the two sides are arc curved surfaces or corrugated plates, and adjacent corrugations are connected by planes, when the curved surface workpiece based on the planar structure is cleaned and roughened, the distances between the planar part and the curved surface part and the polyhedral prism 31 are different, the distance between the focusing mirror 32 and the polyhedral prism 31 is required to be adjusted to adjust the focal length, and the uniform roughening is carried out on the surface of the workpiece 5, so that the problem that the roughening is not in place or excessive due to the height difference is avoided.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, the ranging system includes two ranging sensors 6 perpendicular to the machining direction, and are separately disposed on two sides of the laser head and on the same horizontal plane, and respectively detect the height (the distance between the ranging sensor 6 and the corresponding surface of the workpiece 5) of the predetermined distance before and after (the scanning direction, the X direction in fig. 1) the roughened point on the surface of the workpiece 5 and/or the roughened point before and after, and set up a partition board on two sides of the ranging sensor 6 to isolate the signal interference of the laser beam 4 on the ranging system, so that the data measured by the ranging system is more accurate.
Considering that in this embodiment, the turning mirror system 3 is disposed between the laser head and the workpiece 5, the light emitting direction of the laser head is not necessarily perpendicular to the surface of the workpiece 5, and is different from the actual laser direction and position, in practical application, the installation position of the ranging system is set according to the specific configuration of the device, including but not limited to the lens 34 and the installation support of the polygon prism 31, so that the height of the front and rear positions of the texturing point can be achieved, the corresponding functions can be achieved without limitation and requirement, and the distance between the front and rear detection points and the texturing point is equal, so as to ensure the accuracy of the subsequent adjustment data, and improve the cleaning texturing efficiency.
The distance measuring system is connected with the control system 1 through a communication system, detection data are transmitted to the control system 1, the control system 1 judges whether the current working surface of the workpiece 5 is a curved surface or not according to a preset program related to a laser texturing method, namely, whether a height difference exists between the current texturing point and the next texturing point or not, and the focal length is adjusted according to the preset program.
When the laser 2 starts to work to perform roughening and the two distance measuring sensors 6 start to work at the same time, when the heights measured by the two distance measuring sensors 6 are the same (the allowable error is less than or equal to 0.5 mm), detection data are fed back to the control system 1, the control system 1 determines that the surface being roughened is a plane, and the control system 2 maintains the current laser working parameters and maintains the relative positions of all components in the rotary mirror system 3 and the rotation speed of the rotary mirror;
when the two ranging sensors 6 detect that the height difference exists between the front and rear positions of the texturing point and the height difference is larger than a preset value, the surface to be cleaned and textured currently is considered to be a curved surface, or the next texturing point enters a curved surface structure, the control system 1 selects corresponding laser parameters from a database of pre-stored height differences and laser parameters (including focal lengths) in the system according to specific data of the height difference, and controls the laser 2 and the rotating mirror system 3 to perform corresponding adjustment, including but not limited to adjusting focal lengths of laser beams, so that uniform cleaning and texturing operation is performed on the surface of the workpiece 5.
Specifically, the preset height difference value can be set to be 0.5mm, and the preset height difference value is the same as the detection error allowed by the system, so that error data and smaller camber data can be effectively removed, and the laser parameters and the control and adjustment laser 2 and the turning mirror system 3 are prevented from being frequently adjusted when smaller machining defects exist on the surface of the workpiece 5.
When the difference delta h I of the heights detected by the two distance measuring sensors 6 is larger than or equal to 0.5mm, the surface being roughened is a curved surface, and further, when the difference delta h I of the heights is larger than or equal to 0.5mm, as shown in 9, the control system 1 controls the laser head to adjust the focal moment to the delta h/2 height, and the database specific roughening parameters are called according to the degree of the curved surface to clean and roughen. The database classifies the height difference into a plurality of intervals, and each interval corresponds to different laser parameters and can specifically comprise:
when the delta h < 0.5mm is less than or equal to 0, the plane workpiece is regarded as a plane workpiece, default parameters are adopted, the average power of laser is 3000W-5000W, and the single-pass scanning width is 500 mm-700 mm;
when the delta h < 0.5 is less than 1.5mm, the curvature is considered to be smaller, the average power of the laser is 5000W-7000W, and the single-pass scanning width is 300 mm-500 mm;
when the delta h < 1.5mm is less than or equal to 3mm, the curvature is considered to be larger, the average power of the laser is 7000W-9000W, and the single-pass scanning width is 200 mm-300 mm;
When the delta h < 3mm is less than 4mm, the curvature is considered to be large, the average power of laser is 9000W-12000W, and the single-pass scanning width is 100 mm-200 mm;
when 4mm < Δh| indicates that the boundary has been reached, the laser stops the roughening operation and/or the control system 1 controls the laser 2 to return to the start of the next roughening path.
In this embodiment, by detecting the height difference between two predetermined points before and after the texturing point to determine whether the surface of the workpiece 5 being textured is a curved surface and/or is about to enter the curved surface, and controlling and adjusting the laser parameters according to the section to which the height difference belongs, and adjusting the focal length according to the height difference, as described above, the focal length of the texturing operation of the next texturing point can be changed to h+Δh/2 based on the current focal length H, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, or the focal length can be adaptively corrected according to the surface morphology parameters of the workpiece 5 according to other methods.
When judging whether the curved surface structure and/or the next texturing is curved, as shown in fig. 8, in the proceeding direction of texturing, two texturing points (which may be the next texturing point and the completed previous texturing point) before and after the texturing point or a height difference Δh=h1-H2 between a point at a certain distance before and after the texturing point and the distance measuring sensor is a negative value, which represents that the height of the next texturing point increases, the height difference is a negative value, which indicates that the height of the next texturing point decreases, and according to a preset program, the focal length is correspondingly shortened or stretched, for example, the focal length of the laser when determining the next texturing point is h+Δh/2, wherein H is the focal length of the current texturing point, and the focal length of the next texturing point can be determined according to other modes, wherein H1 is the distance between the adjacent texturing operation point which is finished before the current texturing point and the distance sensor, H2 is the distance between the operation point which is about to be textured and the distance sensor, or H1 is the height between the point which is a certain distance before the current texturing point and the distance sensor, and H2 is the height between the point which is a certain distance after the current texturing point and the distance sensor.
In the texturing operation, the polygon mirror 31 is controlled to keep stationary, that is, laser is continuously output at the same position on the surface of the workpiece 5, and texturing points are formed at the same position on the surface of the workpiece 5, thereby realizing laser texturing. The polygon prism rotates to realize continuous scanning texturing operation, a plurality of continuous texturing points are punched on the surface of the workpiece, the distance between adjacent texturing points is related to the pulse frequency and the rotation speed of the polygon prism 31, and the distance between adjacent texturing points can be adjusted by adjusting the pulse frequency and the rotation speed, so that the roughness of the surface of the workpiece 5 is adjusted. The control of the texturing spot size and distance is achieved by adjusting the stopping time, the rotating speed and the time of the polygon mirror 31.
In order to avoid the problem that the internal temperature of the rotating mirror system is too high due to diffuse reflection generated by the laser beam 4 passing through the corner of the polygon prism 3, in the embodiment, in the laser texturing process, the dynamic control technology is adopted to coordinate and correlate the pulse frequency of laser with the rotation of the rotating mirror, so that the purpose of closing the laser when the laser irradiates the corner of the rotating mirror system 3 and opening the laser after passing through the corner is realized, and the problem that the optical device is damaged due to the fact that the internal temperature of the rotating mirror system is too high due to the diffuse reflection of the laser is avoided. Meanwhile, the adjustment and control of the roughening degree, the size and the interval distribution of the roughening points can be realized by controlling the pulse frequency of laser and the rotating speed of the rotating mirror.
When the polygon prism 31 is adopted for scanning, the problem that the laser beam 4 is diffusely reflected by the corner is inevitably encountered, at the moment, the laser beam is irradiated on two turning mirror surfaces of the polygon prism 31 at the same time, the laser beam on one surface can normally scan the surface of a workpiece, the laser beam on the other surface can be scattered and enter a cavity of the laser texturing head, the cavity of the laser texturing head is operated for a long time or irradiated by a high-power laser source, and the optical device of the laser texturing head is extremely damaged. For this reason, when the polygon mirror 31 is turned to the corner, the laser 2 is controlled to stop emitting laser light, and after the corner is turned, the laser light emission is resumed.
Since the rotational speed of the polygon mirror 31 is extremely fast, the prism is crossed 1000 times per second, the interval between two times of prism crossing is less than 1 millisecond, the detection, judgment, transmission and response signals must be performed within a short 1 millisecond time, and finally the instantaneous dynamic control of the laser is realized. In order to realize the laser over-edge control, a sensing device capable of controlling the laser to be turned on and off when scanning to the edge angle of the polygon prism 31 is designed, such as a photoelectric sensor 7, and then the high-frequency on-off of the laser is controlled by detecting the edge angle signal, so that the laser beam avoids the edge angle of the polygon prism 31, and the instantaneous dynamic cooperative control effect of the laser space-time distribution is realized as shown in fig. 5.
The invention provides a sensing device for realizing laser over-edge control, which is shown in fig. 6, and comprises a photoelectric sensor 7, wherein an antenna 8 protruding from a mirror surface is arranged at each angular position of a polyhedral prism 31, the distance between the antenna 8 and the angular position is related to the rotation speed of the polyhedral prism 31, and the position of the antenna 8 does not influence the reflection of laser in the scanning process, namely, the laser does not irradiate the antenna 8, so that the texturing effect is influenced.
The antenna 8 is any one of a sheet-like, strip-like, and rope-like structure, has a bottom fixed to the corner and/or the position in front of the corner, and has a top inclined in the rotation direction and protruding from the top surface of the polygon prism 31. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the antenna 8 is provided on a fixed plate above any one of the top surfaces (mirror surfaces other than the laser scanning) of the polygon mirror 31, and the shape, size, and setting angle of the fixed plate are the same as those of the top surface of the polygon mirror 31, and are parallel to the top surface of the polygon mirror 31 and keep synchronous operation.
The bottom of the antenna 8 is fixed with the side of the fixed plate facing the photoelectric sensor, and is fixed at the corner (corresponding to the corner angle of the polygon prism 31) of the fixed plate, the antenna 8 is arranged slightly inclined, the top faces the rotation direction, or the antenna 8 is arranged in front of the rotation direction of the corner (corresponding to the corner angle of the polygon prism 31). The inclination angle of the antenna 8 is related to the length of the antenna 8 and the rotational speed. The antenna 8 may be arranged perpendicular to the fixed plate with the tip facing the photosensor, considering that the over-edge time is extremely short. The lead of the over-edge closing laser is formed by the diameter (width) of the antenna 8.
A certain distance is reserved between the fixing plate and the top surface of the polygon prism 31, and the distance is close to the photoelectric sensor, so that on one hand, the fixing plate can be prevented from influencing the rotation and laser scanning of the polygon prism 31, and on the other hand, the distance between the fixing plate and the photoelectric sensor 7 is closer, and the scanning time and the final response time of the photoelectric sensor 7 are reduced.
When the antenna 8 passes through the photoelectric sensor 7, the photoelectric sensor 7 detects that laser is about to scan into an edge angle, the control system 1 controls the laser 2 to turn off light, after a preset time, when the edge angle rotates through a laser scanning area, the antenna 8 leaves the detection range of the photoelectric sensor, the control system 1 controls the laser 2 to continue the scanning process, and the preset time is determined according to the rotation speed of the rotating mirror and the distance between the antenna 8 and the edge angle.
The antenna 8 is obliquely arranged and/or arranged in front of the corner, the top of the antenna 8 is detected by the photoelectric sensor, the antenna 8 at the corner is arranged in front of the corner, the antenna 8 is sensed to pass through when the corner is scanned, and the control system 1 controls the laser 2 to turn off light.
Further, as shown in fig. 7, the antenna 8 is located before the corner, the center point of the antenna 8 is located at the position of the center point of a light spot before the corner, the laser is turned off at the position, and correspondingly, the laser is turned on after turning over the distance of one light spot diameter of the corner, that is, when the corner is crossed, the laser is turned off, and the polyhedral corner is turned over the distance of one light spot diameter.
Further, as shown in fig. 3 and 12, in the present embodiment, the photosensor 7 includes a red light generator 71, a red light receiver 73, and a red light reflecting mirror 72, the red light generator 71 emits red light to the polygon mirror 31, the red light receiver 73 receives the red light continuously reflected by the polygon mirror 31 and the red light reflecting mirror 72, the red light receiver 73 is connected to the controller, and the received signal is sent to the controller.
When the red light receiver 73 receives the continuously reflected red light signal, the laser is normally reflected by the polygon prism 31, when the polygon prism 31 rotates to the angular position, the antenna 8 is arranged before the angular position, before the antenna passes, the antenna 8 reaches the point position of the red light on the polygon prism 31, after the red light is emitted onto the antenna 8, the red light is not reflected any more, the red light receiver 73 and the controller cannot receive the red light signal, the controller controls the laser to stop emitting the laser, when the red light receiver 73 receives the red light reflected signal again, the antenna passes, and the controller controls the laser to emit the laser again.
