Thus, a feature defining "a first" or "a second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" means at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless specifically defined otherwise.
In the present invention, unless specifically stated and limited otherwise, the terms "connected," "affixed," and the like are to be construed broadly, and for example, "affixed" may be a fixed connection, a removable connection, or an integral body; can be mechanically or electrically connected; either directly or indirectly, through intermediaries, or both, may be in communication with each other or in interaction with each other, unless expressly defined otherwise. The specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art according to the specific circumstances.
The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, and the technical solutions of the present invention are further described with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, there is provided a cutting apparatus including a frame 1 provided with a cutting deck 2 and two beams 3, and a cutting head 4 mounted on the beams 3, wherein the beams 3 are reciprocally and horizontally movable in a feeding direction of the cutting deck 2.
And a motion control board (not shown in the figure) is arranged on the frame 1, a multi-cutting head cutting path control method is arranged in the motion control board, and one motion control board can control the cutting actions of at least two cutting heads to complete the cutting of the same pattern.
A plurality of sets of cutting head control programs can be arranged in a motion control board, and each set of cutting head control program can control the operation of one cutting head. In the operation of the cutting equipment, the motion control board can select the number of cutting head control program sets to be started according to the number of cutting heads to be put into, and combines a multi-cutting head cutting path control method, so that the cutting control of any number of cutting heads is realized.
Further, as shown in fig. 2, the multi-cutting-head cutting path control method includes the steps of:
s1, generating cutting paths according to the number of cutting heads, distributing the cutting paths to the cutting heads, wherein the cutting paths corresponding to the cutting heads comprise a plurality of sections of cutter paths;
s2, judging the positions of other cutting heads before cutting according to the current cutting path when the current cutting path of any one cutting head and the current cutting paths of the other cutting heads have an intersection point, so as to ensure that a plurality of cutting heads cannot simultaneously run to the intersection point.
To complete cutting of the same pattern with a plurality of cutting heads, it is necessary to plan the cutting path of each cutting head, thereby improving the cutting efficiency.
In path planning, it is first determined which part of the pattern each cutting head needs to cut, so as to form a cutting path corresponding to each cutting head. Since the pattern may change during the cutting process, the pattern to be cut needs to be acquired by means of an image sensor or the like. Then, the cutting line of the cutting part required by the pattern is determined according to the pattern in the acquired image.
One way of determining the cutting path according to the pattern cutting line is shown in fig. 3, which determines the image center point according to the pattern to be cut, and determines the cutting path on the pattern according to a straight line passing through the image center point.
The center point may be determined by the length and width dimensions of the image, and then dividing the pattern into a plurality of regions by drawing a straight line through the center point, each of the region cutting lines being the cutting path to be performed by the respective cutting head.
And then the motion control acquisition card can establish a coordinate axis by taking the image center point as an origin, convert the cutting path into track coordinate data on the coordinate axis, and the cutting head can cut according to the distributed track coordinate data.
The second way of determining the cutting path according to the pattern cutting line is shown in fig. 4, and after the pattern cutting line is obtained by the above method, a closed area in the pattern to be cut is searched, and the cutting path of each cutting head is generated according to the outline of the closed area.
The regions A, B, C, D, which overlap in paths that define the enclosed regions, may still be considered as relatively independent enclosed regions, where each region may be assigned to a different cutting head to perform a cutting action to determine the cutting path to be performed by each cutting head.
Because no special point is utilized in the path determination mode, the motion control acquisition card establishes a coordinate axis with any point in the pattern to be cut, preferably the intersection point where a plurality of cutting lines coincide, as a coordinate origin, converts the cutting path into track coordinate data on the coordinate axis, and the cutting head can cut according to the allocated track coordinate data.
The embodiment also provides a third mode of determining a cutting path according to the pattern cutting line, after the cutting line of the pattern is obtained by the method, the method searches for a closed area in the pattern to be cut, determines an image center point in the pattern to be cut, then uses a straight line passing through the image center point as a partition line, and divides the closed area in the image to be cut into an area as far as possible by setting the partition line, so that the closed area can be distributed to the same cutting machine head to execute cutting action, and cutting efficiency is improved.
After the path distribution of each cutting head is determined, the problems that each cutting head cannot collide in the cutting process and the like are solved, so that the normal operation of the equipment is affected.
In the invention, before the cutting head performs cutting of each cutter path along the cutting path, the track coordinate data of the cutter path is compared with the track coordinate data of other cutter paths which are performing cutting, and when the track coordinate data has a coincidence point, the current cutter path cutting action to be performed by the cutting head is paused.
As shown in fig. 4, assuming that the first cutting head performs the cutting action of the closed a area starting at point c ', the second cutting head needs to perform the cutting of the paths of sections a ' to c '. Before the second cutting head needs to execute the current cutting path, the motion control acquisition card can compare the track coordinate data of the cutting path which the second cutting head needs to execute with the track coordinate data of the cutting action which the first cutting head is executing, if the track of the second cutting head passes through the point c ' in a future period of time, the cutting of the paths from the section a ' to the section c ' which the second cutting head needs to execute is paused, the cutting of the next path is executed first, and the judgment is carried out before the cutting of the next path is executed.
Therefore, two or more than two cutting heads in one motion control acquisition card can execute cutting action to prevent a plurality of cutting heads from collision in an asynchronous cutting process, so that the working efficiency of the whole cutting is improved.
The specific embodiments described herein are offered by way of example only to illustrate the spirit of the invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the described embodiments or substitutions thereof without departing from the spirit of the invention or exceeding the scope of the invention as defined in the accompanying claims.
