Abstract

An attitude for first mode switching and an attitude for second mode switching are registered in a remote control device, the attitude for the first mode switching corresponding to a switch mode for adjusting the weld current, and the attitude for the second mode switching corresponding to a switch mode for adjusting the weld voltage. When the attitude of the remote control device is the attitude for the first mode switching, the switch mode for adjusting the weld current is set. When the attitude of the remote control device is the attitude for the second mode switching, the switch mode for adjusting the weld voltage is set. The welding conditions can be modified when the switch mode for adjusting the weld current or the switch mode for adjusting the weld voltage is set.

　従来、溶接電源において材質や溶接姿勢、目的等の変化により溶接パラメータの調整を行う際には、溶接電源の操作部での調整や遠隔制御装置を用いて調整を行う。特に溶接する対象物が大型の場合、溶接電源を移動させず、溶接作業者のみが移動することがある。従って、溶接作業者と溶接電源が離れてしまう場合がある。そこで、溶接作業者がパラメータの調整を行う際における移動時間短縮を目的として、遠隔制御装置を溶接作業者の手元に置き、パラメータの調整を行うことができる技術が開示されている（例えば特許文献１）。 Conventionally, when the welding parameters are adjusted by changing the material, welding posture, purpose, etc. in the welding power source, the adjustment is performed by using the operation unit of the welding power source or the remote control device. In particular, when the object to be welded is large, only the welding operator may move without moving the welding power source. Therefore, the welding operator and the welding power source may be separated. Therefore, for the purpose of shortening the movement time when the welding operator adjusts the parameters, a technique is disclosed in which the remote control device can be placed at the hand of the welding operator and the parameters can be adjusted (for example, Patent Documents). 1).

　本開示の実施の形態の説明に先立ち、従来の問題点を簡単に説明する。 Prior to the description of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the conventional problems will be briefly described.
　上述した特許文献１が示すような無線式の遠隔制御装置を用いる場合、溶接作業者は溶接前に遠隔制御装置の操作面や表示を見ながら溶接パラメータの調整を行い、溶接作業を行う。溶接作業中は溶接作業者が遮光用の溶接面を着用しているために、遠隔制御装置の操作面や表示を見ることができず、調整を行うことが困難である。 When using a wireless remote control device as shown in Patent Document 1 described above, the welding operator adjusts the welding parameters while looking at the operation surface and display of the remote control device before welding to perform the welding operation. During the welding operation, since the welding operator wears a light shielding welding surface, the operation surface and display of the remote control device cannot be seen and adjustment is difficult.
　しかし、溶接作業中に溶接パラメータを連続的に調整したいという要望が高まっている。従来、溶接作業中に溶接パラメータの調整を行う場合、遠隔制御装置をトーチとは反対の手に持ちながら手さぐりでスイッチを探して調整を行っていたが、遠隔制御装置にボリュームまたはスイッチ等が複数個存在する場合、ボリュームまたはスイッチ等の位置がどこにあるのか認識できない。更に、ボリュームまたはスイッチ等を探しているうちに、意図せず別のボリュームやスイッチに触れてしまい、誤った設定をしてしまうなどの問題が起こる。 However, there is a growing demand for continuous adjustment of welding parameters during welding operations. Conventionally, when adjusting the welding parameters during welding work, the remote control device was held in the opposite hand to the torch while searching for the switch by hand, but the remote control device has multiple volumes or switches. If there are two, the position of the volume or switch cannot be recognized. Furthermore, while searching for a volume or a switch, a problem arises that an unintentionally touching another volume or switch causes an incorrect setting.
　つまり、遠隔制御装置のボリュームやスイッチ等の個数が増えるほど誤った設定をしてしまいやすく、使用するには作業者の慣れが必要である。 In other words, as the number of volumes and switches of the remote control device increases, incorrect settings are likely to be made and the operator needs to be used to use them.
　さらに、高電流を用いる作業者は厚手の手袋を着用していることが多く、手の感覚が鈍り、ボリュームまたはスイッチに触れていることを認識するのに時間がかかり、所望の設定を行うのは一層困難であった。 In addition, workers using high currents often wear thick gloves, and it takes time to recognize that the hand feels dull and is touching the volume or switch, making the desired settings. Was even more difficult.
　また、遠隔制御装置には設定項目が複数あることが多く、仮にボリュームまたはスイッチの位置が分かったとしても、遮光用の溶接面を頭部に装着している等の理由により表示部が見えない場合が多い。よって作業者がどの設定項目を変更しているのか分かりづらく、何を調整しているのかを溶接状態の変化を確認するまで判断することができないという問題があった。 In addition, there are many setting items in the remote control device, and even if the position of the volume or switch is known, the display unit cannot be seen because the light-shielding welding surface is mounted on the head. There are many cases. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to understand which setting item the operator is changing, and it is impossible to determine what is being adjusted until the change in the welding state is confirmed.
　上記理由により、連続的な溶接が好ましい場合であっても、安定的に溶接ができるよう、一度溶接作業を中断し遮光用の溶接面を外して（遮光状態を開放して）ボリュームまたはスイッチを調整し再度溶接を行う必要がある。 For the above reasons, even if continuous welding is preferable, interrupt the welding operation once and remove the light shielding welding surface (open the light shielding state) so that stable welding can be performed. It is necessary to adjust and weld again.
　また、別の方法として、作業者とは別の第三者がボリュームまたはスイッチを調整する方法がある。 Also, as another method, there is a method in which a third party different from the worker adjusts the volume or switch.
　本開示は、溶接パラメータの調整を作業者単独で、簡単に所望の設定が可能である。 In the present disclosure, a desired setting can be easily made by an operator alone for adjustment of a welding parameter.
　（実施の形態）
　以下、本開示の実施の形態について図面を参照しながら詳細に説明する。 (Embodiment)
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
　図１に示すように、溶接システムは、溶接電源２、送給装置３、トーチ４と、を有する。溶接電源２と送給装置３が、パワーケーブル５１で接続され、溶接電源２とトーチ４が、パワーケーブル５２で接続されている。さらに、無線方式等で溶接電源２を遠隔操作できる遠隔制御装置１（溶接条件設定装置）は溶接電源２から離れた位置に配置される。 As shown in FIG. 1, the welding system includes a welding power source 2, a feeding device 3, and a torch 4. The welding power source 2 and the feeding device 3 are connected by a power cable 51, and the welding power source 2 and the torch 4 are connected by a power cable 52. Furthermore, a remote control device 1 (welding condition setting device) capable of remotely operating the welding power source 2 by a wireless method or the like is disposed at a position away from the welding power source 2.
　溶接電源２は溶接のために必要な電力を変換しトーチ４に供給する。溶接電源２は、操作部２１、記憶部２２、制御部２４、無線通信部２６、出力部２８と、を有する。 The welding power source 2 converts electric power necessary for welding and supplies it to the torch 4. The welding power source 2 includes an operation unit 21, a storage unit 22, a control unit 24, a wireless communication unit 26, and an output unit 28.
　制御部２４は溶接電源２のパラメータを制御する。記憶部２２は各パラメータ等を記憶する。無線通信部２６は無線通信用のアンテナ２７を介して遠隔制御装置１との送受信を行う。出力部２８は制御部２４の設定に対応する電力を送給装置３およびトーチ４に出力する。 The control unit 24 controls the parameters of the welding power source 2. The storage unit 22 stores parameters and the like. The wireless communication unit 26 performs transmission / reception with the remote control device 1 via an antenna 27 for wireless communication. The output unit 28 outputs power corresponding to the setting of the control unit 24 to the feeding device 3 and the torch 4.
　また、遠隔制御装置１は、操作部１１、記憶部１２、測定部１３、制御部１４、表示部１５、無線通信部１６およびアンテナ１７を有する。 Further, the remote control device 1 includes an operation unit 11, a storage unit 12, a measurement unit 13, a control unit 14, a display unit 15, a wireless communication unit 16, and an antenna 17.
　作業者は遠隔制御装置１に操作部１１から手入力できる。測定部１３は加速度を測定することができる。表示部１５には、制御部１４からの信号が表示される。記憶部１２には、溶接パラメータ情報と通信パラメータ情報が記憶される。溶接電源２と遠隔制御装置１との間では、無線信号を送受信する。遠隔制御装置１においては、無線通信部１６およびアンテナ１７で、無線信号の送受信が行われる。制御部１４が無線通信部１６およびアンテナ１７による無線信号の送受信を制御する。 The operator can manually input to the remote control device 1 from the operation unit 11. The measurement unit 13 can measure acceleration. The display unit 15 displays a signal from the control unit 14. The storage unit 12 stores welding parameter information and communication parameter information. Radio signals are transmitted and received between the welding power source 2 and the remote control device 1. In the remote control device 1, wireless signals are transmitted and received by the wireless communication unit 16 and the antenna 17. The control unit 14 controls transmission / reception of radio signals by the radio communication unit 16 and the antenna 17.
　遠隔制御装置１は測定部１３に加速度センサ１８を有する。加速度センサ１８の出力値を用いて、制御部１４は、遠隔制御装置１のモード切替の姿勢を判断するための演算を行う。 The remote control device 1 has an acceleration sensor 18 in the measurement unit 13. Using the output value of the acceleration sensor 18, the control unit 14 performs a calculation for determining the mode switching posture of the remote control device 1.
　ここで、スイッチモードの切替について説明する。 Here, switching of the switch mode will be described.
　予め遠隔制御装置１には、溶接電流のスイッチモードに対応するモード切替の姿勢と、溶接電圧のスイッチモードに対応するモード切替の姿勢が登録されている。 The remote control device 1 is registered in advance with a mode switching attitude corresponding to the welding current switch mode and a mode switching attitude corresponding to the welding voltage switch mode.
　そして、制御部１４では、測定部１３からの出力値を用いて、演算処理が行われ、予め設定された期間以上、遠隔制御装置１がモード切替の姿勢になっていると判断されると、対応するスイッチモード（溶接電流のスイッチモードまたは溶接電圧のスイッチモード）に切替わる。 And in the control part 14, when it calculates that the arithmetic processing is performed using the output value from the measurement part 13 and the remote control device 1 is in the mode switching posture for a preset period or longer, Switch to the corresponding switch mode (switching mode for welding current or switch mode for welding voltage).
　つまり、遠隔制御装置１は、重力方向と遠隔制御装置１の姿勢との位置関係を検知することにより、遠隔制御装置１の姿勢に対応するスイッチモード（溶接電流のスイッチモードまたは溶接電圧のスイッチモード）に切替わる。 That is, the remote control device 1 detects the positional relationship between the direction of gravity and the posture of the remote control device 1 to thereby detect a switch mode (a welding current switch mode or a welding voltage switch mode) corresponding to the posture of the remote control device 1. ).
　そしてスイッチモード（溶接電流のスイッチモードまたは溶接電圧のスイッチモード）が切替わった後、操作部１１からの入力により溶接条件（電流値または電圧値）が変更される。その溶接条件の変更結果が、無線通信部１６およびアンテナ１７を介して溶接電源２に送信される。 Then, after the switch mode (the welding current switch mode or the welding voltage switch mode) is switched, the welding condition (current value or voltage value) is changed by an input from the operation unit 11. The welding condition change result is transmitted to the welding power source 2 via the wireless communication unit 16 and the antenna 17.
　なお、本実施形態では、遠隔制御装置１と溶接電源２と間の通信方式は無線方式で行っているが、比較的近距離で操作し、配線を気にしなくてよい場合は、遠隔制御装置１と溶接電源２との間の通信方式は有線方式で行っても良い。 In this embodiment, the communication method between the remote control device 1 and the welding power source 2 is a wireless method. However, if the remote control device 1 is operated at a relatively short distance and the wiring is not required, the remote control device The communication system between 1 and the welding power source 2 may be a wired system.
　次に遠隔制御装置１（溶接条件設定装置）の形状について、図２Ａ～図２Ｃを参照しながら説明する。 Next, the shape of the remote control device 1 (welding condition setting device) will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A to 2C.
　遠隔制御装置１は、作業者の胸ポケット等に収納可能な大きさであって、長方形状である。遠隔制御装置１の表面側の上部には、表示部１５が配置されている。遠隔制御装置１の表面側の下部には、凸状の操作スイッチ（上スイッチ６１）および凸状の操作スイッチ（下スイッチ６２）が形成されている。このような構成により、作業者は、遠隔制御装置１を片手で、裏面側および側面側を保持することができる。 The remote control device 1 is of a size that can be stored in an operator's breast pocket or the like and has a rectangular shape. A display unit 15 is disposed on the upper surface side of the remote control device 1. A convex operation switch (upper switch 61) and a convex operation switch (lower switch 62) are formed in the lower part on the surface side of the remote control device 1. With such a configuration, the operator can hold the remote control device 1 with one hand and hold the back side and the side.
　図２Ａ～図２Ｃに示す遠隔制御装置１は、上スイッチ６１、下スイッチ６２の少なくとも２つのスイッチと、表示部１５とを有する。作業者が遠隔制御装置１を片手で握った状態でも、２つのスイッチ（上スイッチ６１および下スイッチ６２）を親指で無理なく操作できるように、遠隔制御装置１の側面から例えば６０ｍｍ以内に上スイッチ６１および下スイッチ６２は配置されている。このような構成により作業者が遠隔制御装置１の上スイッチ６１および下スイッチ６２を容易に操作することができる。 The remote control device 1 shown in FIGS. 2A to 2C includes at least two switches, an upper switch 61 and a lower switch 62, and a display unit 15. Even when the operator holds the remote control device 1 with one hand, the upper switch can be operated within 60 mm, for example, from the side of the remote control device 1 so that the two switches (upper switch 61 and lower switch 62) can be easily operated with the thumb. 61 and the lower switch 62 are arranged. With such a configuration, the operator can easily operate the upper switch 61 and the lower switch 62 of the remote control device 1.
　つまり、本開示は、遠隔制御装置１（溶接条件設定装置）の姿勢に応じて溶接電流のスイッチモードまたは溶接電圧のスイッチモードが設定され、溶接電流または溶接電圧を変更することができる遠隔制御装置１（溶接条件設定装置）に関する。 That is, according to the present disclosure, the remote control device can set the welding current switch mode or the welding voltage switch mode in accordance with the attitude of the remote control device 1 (welding condition setting device) and can change the welding current or the welding voltage. 1 (welding condition setting device).
　そして、遠隔制御装置１の表面側の上部に形成される表示部１５と、凸状で遠隔制御装置１の表面側の下部に形成され溶接条件を変更することができる操作スイッチ（上スイッチ６１または下スイッチ６２）を有する。 And the display part 15 formed in the upper part on the surface side of the remote control device 1, and the operation switch (up switch 61 or A lower switch 62).
　また、遠隔制御装置１は、作業者が遮光面を装着した状態で筐体の向きが分かりやすい構造になっている。 Also, the remote control device 1 has a structure in which the orientation of the housing is easy to understand when the operator wears the light shielding surface.
　例えば、図２Ａに示す遠隔制御装置１ａは長方形状であり、かつ、遠隔制御装置１ａは、表面側から見て上部の幅が下部の幅より大きい。この構成により、作業者が遠隔制御装置１を手で握った時に筐体の向きが分かる。 For example, the remote control device 1a shown in FIG. 2A has a rectangular shape, and the remote control device 1a has an upper width larger than a lower width when viewed from the front side. With this configuration, the orientation of the housing can be determined when the operator holds the remote control device 1 with his / her hand.
　例えば、図２Ｂに示す遠隔制御装置１ｂは、下部の側部側にグリップ部を有する。この構成により、作業者が遠隔制御装置１を手で握った時に筐体の向きが分かる。 For example, the remote control device 1b shown in FIG. 2B has a grip portion on the lower side. With this configuration, the orientation of the housing can be determined when the operator holds the remote control device 1 with his / her hand.
　例えば、図２Ｃに示す遠隔制御装置１ｃは、表面側から見て、上部の幅が下部の幅より大きいＴ字状である。この構成により、作業者が遠隔制御装置１を手で握った時に筐体の向きが分かる。 For example, the remote control device 1c shown in FIG. 2C has a T-shape in which the upper width is larger than the lower width when viewed from the front side. With this configuration, the orientation of the housing can be determined when the operator holds the remote control device 1 with his / her hand.
　図２Ａ～図２Ｃに示すように、遠隔制御装置１を、上下／表裏が非対称な形状の筐体とすることにより、作業者が遠隔制御装置１を握った際、作業者は遠隔制御装置１の姿勢が分かる。 As shown in FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C, when the remote control device 1 is a casing having an asymmetric shape on the top and bottom / front and back, when the operator holds the remote control device 1, the worker I can understand the attitude.
　なお、図２Ａ～図２Ｃに示す遠隔制御装置１は、長手方向の長さと短手方向の長さとの差が大きい。よって、作業者が遠隔制御装置１を握った感覚で、長手方向が分かる。しかしながら、長手方向の長さと短手方向の長さに差がなくても、表示部１５を遠隔制御装置１（溶接条件設定装置）の上部に形成し、遠隔制御装置１（溶接条件設定装置）の下部に操作スイッチ（上スイッチ６１および下スイッチ６２）を形成しておけば、作業者は筐体の向きが分かる。つまり、本開示の遠隔制御装置１は必ずしも長方形状である必要はない。 The remote control device 1 shown in FIGS. 2A to 2C has a large difference between the length in the longitudinal direction and the length in the short direction. Therefore, the longitudinal direction can be understood as if the operator grasped the remote control device 1. However, even if there is no difference between the length in the longitudinal direction and the length in the short direction, the display unit 15 is formed on the top of the remote control device 1 (welding condition setting device), and the remote control device 1 (welding condition setting device). If the operation switches (upper switch 61 and lower switch 62) are formed below the operator, the operator can know the orientation of the casing. That is, the remote control device 1 of the present disclosure does not necessarily have a rectangular shape.
　次に、溶接電源２と遠隔制御装置１との間での無線通信について図１、図３Ａ、図３Ｂを用いて説明する。 Next, wireless communication between the welding power source 2 and the remote control device 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 3A, and 3B.
　溶接電源２と遠隔制御装置１との間で無線通信を行う前に、互いの無線認証を一致させて無線通信を確立する必要がある。遠隔制御装置１は操作部１１から通信パラメータの設定を行う。溶接電源２は操作部２１から通信パラメータの設定を行う。溶接電源２および遠隔制御装置１に設定される通信パラメータは同様のものである。 Before performing wireless communication between the welding power source 2 and the remote control device 1, it is necessary to establish wireless communication by matching each other's wireless authentication. The remote control device 1 sets communication parameters from the operation unit 11. The welding power source 2 sets communication parameters from the operation unit 21. The communication parameters set in the welding power source 2 and the remote control device 1 are the same.
　作業者は、溶接電源２と、溶接電源２に対する無線通信を確立させた遠隔制御装置１と、を使用する。作業者は、トーチ４を持たない方の手に遠隔制御装置１を持ち、遠隔制御装置１を持つ手の親指を遠隔制御装置１の上スイッチ６１または下スイッチ６２の上に置いて操作を行う。 The worker uses the welding power source 2 and the remote control device 1 that establishes wireless communication with the welding power source 2. The operator holds the remote control device 1 in the hand that does not have the torch 4 and places the thumb of the hand holding the remote control device 1 on the upper switch 61 or the lower switch 62 of the remote control device 1 for operation. .
　次に、遠隔制御装置１の姿勢に応じてスイッチモードの切替えを行う操作について詳細に説明する。 Next, the operation for switching the switch mode according to the attitude of the remote control device 1 will be described in detail.
　まず、長方形状の遠隔制御装置１の筐体におけるモード切替の姿勢の方向を定義する。例えば、遠隔制御装置１を表面側から見て、長手方向（図３Ａに第１方向として示す）が重力方向と沿う方向の姿勢を、第１のモード切替の姿勢とする。また、遠隔制御装置１を表面側から見て短手方向（図３Ｂに第２方向として示す）が重力方向に沿う方向の姿勢を、第２のモード切替の姿勢とする。そして、第１のモード切替の姿勢と第２のモード切替の姿勢を遠隔制御装置１に予め登録しておく。 First, the direction of the mode switching posture in the rectangular remote control device 1 is defined. For example, when the remote control device 1 is viewed from the front side, the posture in which the longitudinal direction (shown as the first direction in FIG. 3A) is along the gravity direction is set as the first mode switching posture. Further, the posture in which the short direction (shown as the second direction in FIG. 3B) when viewing the remote control device 1 from the front side is along the gravity direction is set as the second mode switching posture. Then, the first mode switching posture and the second mode switching posture are registered in the remote control device 1 in advance.
　本実施形態では、遠隔制御装置１の姿勢が第１のモード切替の姿勢のとき、溶接電流のスイッチモードが設定され、遠隔制御装置１の姿勢が第２のモード切替の姿勢のとき、溶接電圧のスイッチモードが設定されているものとして説明する。 In the present embodiment, when the attitude of the remote control device 1 is the first mode switching posture, the welding current switch mode is set, and when the remote control device 1 is the second mode switching posture, the welding voltage It is assumed that the switch mode is set.
　作業者は、設定したいスイッチモードに切替えるため、遠隔制御装置１の姿勢を操作する。遠隔制御装置１の姿勢に応じて、溶接電流のスイッチモードまたは溶接電圧のスイッチモードなどに切替わる。 The worker operates the attitude of the remote control device 1 to switch to the switch mode to be set. Depending on the attitude of the remote control device 1, the mode is switched to a welding current switch mode or a welding voltage switch mode.
　溶接電流のスイッチモードに切替わった状態では、スイッチ（上スイッチ６１または下スイッチ６２）を所定の期間押すことで、溶接電流の値を増減させることができる。同様に、溶接電圧のスイッチモードに切替わった状態では、スイッチ（上スイッチ６１または下スイッチ６２）を所定の期間押すことで、溶接電圧の値を増減させることができる。 In the state of switching to the welding current switch mode, the welding current value can be increased or decreased by pressing a switch (upper switch 61 or lower switch 62) for a predetermined period. Similarly, in a state where the mode is switched to the welding voltage switch mode, the value of the welding voltage can be increased or decreased by pressing a switch (upper switch 61 or lower switch 62) for a predetermined period.
　次に具体的な遠隔制御装置１の操作について説明する。 Next, a specific operation of the remote control device 1 will be described.
　上述した通り、図３Ａに示すように、表面側の上部に表示部１５を有する長方形状の遠隔制御装置１の姿勢が垂直方向に延伸する姿勢（立っている姿勢）がモード切替時の溶接電流のスイッチモードの姿勢と定義されており、図３Ｂに示すように、長方形状の遠隔制御装置１の姿勢が水平方向に延伸する姿勢（遠隔制御装置１を横に倒した姿勢）をモード切替時の溶接電圧のスイッチモードの姿勢と定義されているとする。 As described above, as shown in FIG. 3A, the orientation of the rectangular remote control device 1 having the display unit 15 on the upper surface side in the vertical direction (standing posture) is the welding current when the mode is switched. When the mode is switched, the posture of the rectangular remote control device 1 extending in the horizontal direction (the posture in which the remote control device 1 is tilted sideways) as shown in FIG. 3B is defined. Suppose that the welding voltage is defined as the attitude of the switch mode.
　溶接電流の調整を行いたい場合は、遠隔制御装置１を立て、溶接電流のスイッチモードに切替える。この状態で、上スイッチ６１を０．５秒押し続けると、溶接電流に対して、電流増減間隔分の２Ａが増加されるように設定されている。さらに０．５秒以上の長押しをすると、溶接電流を０．５秒毎に電流増減間隔分の２Ａずつ増加するように設定されている。溶接電流を減少させたい場合には下スイッチ６２を用いて同様の操作を行って、溶接電流を減少させることが可能である。 If you want to adjust the welding current, set up the remote control device 1 and switch to the welding current switch mode. In this state, when the upper switch 61 is continuously pressed for 0.5 seconds, 2A corresponding to the current increase / decrease interval is increased with respect to the welding current. Furthermore, it is set so that the welding current is increased by 2 A corresponding to the current increase / decrease interval every 0.5 seconds when a long press for 0.5 seconds or more is performed. When it is desired to reduce the welding current, the same operation can be performed using the lower switch 62 to reduce the welding current.
　なお、上述した値は一例であり、時間および電流値は自由に設することができる。 Note that the values described above are examples, and the time and current values can be set freely.
　一方、溶接電圧の調整を行いたい場合は、遠隔制御装置１を横にし、姿勢を重力方向または反重力方向に向かう方向（遠隔制御装置１を倒した姿勢）にし、溶接電圧のスイッチモードに切替える。上スイッチ６１および下スイッチ６２を操作することで、電流調整時と同様に溶接電圧の増減が可能である。 On the other hand, when the welding voltage is to be adjusted, the remote control device 1 is turned sideways, the posture is set in the direction toward the gravity direction or the antigravity direction (the posture in which the remote control device 1 is tilted), and the mode is switched to the welding voltage switch mode. . By operating the upper switch 61 and the lower switch 62, the welding voltage can be increased or decreased as in the current adjustment.
　つまり、本実施形態では、溶接電流のスイッチモードまたは溶接電圧のスイッチモードが設定されると溶接条件を変更することができる。 That is, in this embodiment, the welding condition can be changed when the welding current switch mode or the welding voltage switch mode is set.
　なお、本実施形態では、遠隔制御装置１の溶接電流のスイッチモードの姿勢を図３Ａに示すように立て姿勢と設定し、溶接電圧のスイッチモードの姿勢を図３Ｂに示すように横姿勢と設定している。しかしながら、必ずしもこのように設定する必要はない。例えば、溶接電流のスイッチモードの姿勢を横姿勢とし、溶接電圧のスイッチモードの姿勢を立て姿勢として設定としても良い。 In this embodiment, the welding current switch mode posture of the remote control device 1 is set to the standing posture as shown in FIG. 3A, and the welding voltage switch mode posture is set to the horizontal posture as shown in FIG. 3B. is doing. However, this setting is not necessarily required. For example, the welding current switch mode posture may be set as a horizontal posture, and the welding voltage switch mode posture may be set as a standing posture.
　次に、図４のフローチャートを用いながら遠隔制御装置１の処理の一例について説明する。 Next, an example of processing of the remote control device 1 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.
　まず、遠隔制御装置１が、溶接電源２から溶接電流・溶接電圧の情報を受信する（ＳＴＥＰ１）。 First, the remote control device 1 receives welding current / welding voltage information from the welding power source 2 (STEP 1).
　遠隔制御装置１が溶接電流および溶接電圧の情報を受信すると、受信した溶接電流または溶接電圧のデータを遠隔制御装置１の表示部１５に表示する（ＳＴＥＰ２）。遠隔制御装置１は、遠隔制御装置１の姿勢方向を算出するため、測定部１３の加速度センサ１８の検出結果を読み込む（ＳＴＥＰ３）。加速度センサ１８は３軸方向（Ｘ軸方向、Ｙ軸方向、Ｚ軸方向）の値を検出し、それらの値から制御部１４は遠隔制御装置１の姿勢方向（姿勢データ）を算出する（ＳＴＥＰ４）。 When the remote control device 1 receives the welding current and welding voltage information, the received welding current or welding voltage data is displayed on the display unit 15 of the remote control device 1 (STEP 2). The remote control device 1 reads the detection result of the acceleration sensor 18 of the measurement unit 13 in order to calculate the posture direction of the remote control device 1 (STEP 3). The acceleration sensor 18 detects values in three axial directions (X-axis direction, Y-axis direction, and Z-axis direction), and the control unit 14 calculates the posture direction (posture data) of the remote control device 1 from these values (STEP 4). ).
　次に、制御部１４で算出した姿勢データを用いて、遠隔制御装置１が、溶接電流のスイッチモードへの切替の姿勢であるか溶接電圧のスイッチモードへの切替の姿勢であるかを判断する。溶接電流のスイッチモードへの切替の姿勢であると判断されると（ＳＴＥＰ５、Ｙｅｓ）、溶接電流のスイッチモードの画面が表示部１５に表示される（ＳＴＥＰ７）。溶接電流のスイッチモードへの切替の姿勢であると判断されず（ＳＴＥＰ５、Ｎｏ）、溶接電圧のスイッチモードへの切替の姿勢であると判断されると（ＳＴＥＰ６、Ｙｅｓ）、溶接電流のスイッチモードの画面が表示部１５に表示される（ＳＴＥＰ７）。 Next, using the attitude data calculated by the control unit 14, it is determined whether the remote control device 1 is in the attitude for switching to the switch mode of the welding current or the attitude for switching to the switch mode of the welding voltage. . If it is determined that the attitude is to switch the welding current to the switch mode (STEP 5, Yes), a screen of the welding current switch mode is displayed on the display unit 15 (STEP 7). If it is not determined that the welding current is switched to the switch mode (STEP5, No), and if it is determined that the welding voltage is switched to the switch mode (STEP6, Yes), the welding current is switched to the switch mode. Is displayed on the display unit 15 (STEP 7).
　ＳＴＥＰ７において、例えば、マーク（例えば、図３Ａに示すような二重矢印）を用いて、電流のスイッチモードまたは電圧のスイッチモードのいずれのモードになっているかを表示してもよい。また、スイッチモードの選択先、選択先のモード切替の姿勢、電流または電圧の値（溶接電源２の記憶部２２に記憶した値）を、点滅表示やマークを用いて表示部１５に強調して表示しても良い（ＳＴＥＰ７）。 In STEP7, for example, a mark (for example, a double arrow as shown in FIG. 3A) may be used to indicate which mode is the current switch mode or the voltage switch mode. Further, the switch mode selection destination, the mode switching attitude of the selection destination, and the current or voltage value (value stored in the storage unit 22 of the welding power source 2) are highlighted on the display unit 15 using a blinking display or a mark. It may be displayed (STEP 7).
　ここで、図３Ａに示すように電流のスイッチモードが強調表示されているとする（ＳＴＥＰ７）。この状態で、上スイッチ６１が０．５秒間押されたら２Ａ増加し（ＳＴＥＰ８）、下スイッチ６２が０．５秒間押されたら２Ａ減少する（ＳＴＥＰ９）。そして、遠隔制御装置１は、選択されたスイッチモードの姿勢情報（ここでは、溶接電流のスイッチモード）と押されたスイッチの情報（上スイッチ６１または下スイッチ６２により実際に増加または減少される量の情報）を溶接電源２へ送信する（ＳＴＥＰ１０）。 Here, it is assumed that the current switch mode is highlighted as shown in FIG. 3A (STEP 7). In this state, when the upper switch 61 is pressed for 0.5 seconds, 2A is increased (STEP 8), and when the lower switch 62 is pressed for 0.5 seconds, 2A is decreased (STEP 9). Then, the remote control device 1 determines the posture information of the selected switch mode (here, the welding current switch mode) and the information of the pressed switch (the amount actually increased or decreased by the upper switch 61 or the lower switch 62). Is transmitted to the welding power source 2 (STEP 10).
　溶接電源２は、遠隔制御装置１から送られた情報に基づいた溶接パラメータを調整し、出力に反映させる。また、溶接電源２は、反映した値を遠隔制御装置１へ送信する。 The welding power source 2 adjusts the welding parameters based on the information sent from the remote control device 1 and reflects them in the output. Moreover, the welding power source 2 transmits the reflected value to the remote control device 1.
　また、別の実施の形態として、図３Ｂに示すように電圧のスイッチモードが強調表示されているとする（ＳＴＥＰ７）。この状態で、上スイッチ６１が０．５秒間押されたら０.２Ｖ増加し（ＳＴＥＰ８）、下スイッチ６２が０．５秒間押されたら０.２Ｖ減少する（ＳＴＥＰ９）。そして、遠隔制御装置１は、選択されたスイッチモードの姿勢情報（ここでは、溶接電圧のスイッチモード）と押されたスイッチの情報（上スイッチ６１または下スイッチ６２により実際に増加または減少される量の情報）を溶接電源２へ送信する（ＳＴＥＰ１０）。 As another embodiment, it is assumed that the voltage switch mode is highlighted as shown in FIG. 3B (STEP 7). In this state, if the upper switch 61 is pressed for 0.5 seconds, the voltage increases by 0.2V (STEP 8), and if the lower switch 62 is pressed for 0.5 seconds, it decreases by 0.2V (STEP 9). Then, the remote control device 1 determines the attitude information of the selected switch mode (here, the welding voltage switch mode) and the information of the pressed switch (the amount actually increased or decreased by the upper switch 61 or the lower switch 62). Is transmitted to the welding power source 2 (STEP 10).
　[増減間隔の変更方法]
　次に、電流または電圧の増減間隔の値の変更方法について図５Ａおよび図５Ｂを参照しながら説明する。 [How to change the increase / decrease interval]
Next, a method of changing the value of the current or voltage increase / decrease interval will be described with reference to FIGS. 5A and 5B.
　上スイッチ６１または下スイッチ６２の操作による電流または電圧の増減間隔については、変更が可能である。初期設定の電流増減間隔が２Ａで、電流増減間隔を４Ａへ変更する場合の例を用いて説明する。 The increase / decrease interval of the current or voltage due to the operation of the upper switch 61 or the lower switch 62 can be changed. An explanation will be given using an example in which the current increase / decrease interval is 2A and the current increase / decrease interval is changed to 4A.
　作業者は、遠隔制御装置１の表示部１５を見ながら変更を行うものとする。スイッチモードとして溶接電流のスイッチモードまたは溶接電圧のスイッチモードが選択されているとする。この状態にて作業者が決定コマンドを押す（例えば、上スイッチ６１を押してから０．５秒未満の時、下スイッチ６２を押す）ことで、表示部１５の表示内容が、図５Ａに示す設定メニュー画面に移行する。この時、スイッチモードは、増減間隔を切替えることができる間隔設定モードに移行する。 Suppose that the operator changes while looking at the display unit 15 of the remote control device 1. It is assumed that the welding current switch mode or the welding voltage switch mode is selected as the switch mode. In this state, when the operator presses the determination command (for example, when the upper switch 61 is pressed and the lower switch 62 is pressed in less than 0.5 seconds), the display content of the display unit 15 is set as shown in FIG. 5A. Move to the menu screen. At this time, the switch mode shifts to an interval setting mode in which the increase / decrease interval can be switched.
　次に、設定メニュー画面上で上スイッチ６１または下スイッチ６２を用いて、『間隔設定』の項目まで矢印を移動させ、間隔設定モードを選択する（図５Ａ参照）。次に、上スイッチ６１または下スイッチ６２を用いて、変更を行いたい項目まで表示部１５の矢印を移動させ、決定コマンドを押すと、増減間隔量変更の画面（図５Ｂ参照）に切替わる。増減間隔量変更の画面上で上スイッチ６１または下スイッチ６２を用いて、『電流増減間隔』の項目まで矢印を移動させ、決定コマンドを押す。この状態で、上スイッチ６１または下スイッチ６２を用いて電流の増減間隔の値を変更することができる。 Next, using the upper switch 61 or the lower switch 62 on the setting menu screen, the arrow is moved to the “interval setting” item to select the interval setting mode (see FIG. 5A). Next, using the upper switch 61 or the lower switch 62, the arrow of the display unit 15 is moved to an item to be changed, and when the determination command is pressed, the screen is switched to an increase / decrease interval amount change screen (see FIG. 5B). Using the upper switch 61 or the lower switch 62 on the screen for changing the increase / decrease interval amount, move the arrow to the item “current increase / decrease interval” and press the enter command. In this state, the value of the current increase / decrease interval can be changed using the upper switch 61 or the lower switch 62.
　なお、電圧の増減間隔の値については、電流の増減間隔の値を変更する場合と同様の操作で変更できるので、電圧の増減間隔の値の変更については説明を省略する。 Note that the value of the voltage increase / decrease interval can be changed by the same operation as that for changing the value of the current increase / decrease interval, and therefore the description of the change of the value of the voltage increase / decrease interval is omitted.
　[モード切替の姿勢の変更方法]
　次に、遠隔制御装置１の姿勢に対応するモード切替の姿勢の対応関係（紐づけ）を変更する方法について説明する。 [How to change the mode switching posture]
Next, a method for changing the correspondence relationship (linking) of the mode switching posture corresponding to the posture of the remote control device 1 will be described.
　作業者が溶接電流のスイッチモードに対応する遠隔制御装置１の姿勢を変更する方法の一例について図６Ａ～図６Ｃを用いて説明する。 An example of a method for the operator to change the attitude of the remote control device 1 corresponding to the welding current switch mode will be described with reference to FIGS. 6A to 6C.
　まず、図６Ａに示すように、長方形状の遠隔制御装置１の長手方向を「第１方向（Ｙ軸方向）」、短手方向を「第２方向（Ｘ軸方向）」、遠隔制御装置１の表示部１５が配置されている表示面に対しての鉛直方向を「第３方向（Ｚ軸方向）」、と定義する。 First, as shown in FIG. 6A, the long side direction of the rectangular remote control device 1 is “first direction (Y-axis direction)”, the short side direction is “second direction (X-axis direction)”, and the remote control device 1. A vertical direction with respect to the display surface on which the display unit 15 is arranged is defined as a “third direction (Z-axis direction)”.
　本実施形態では、遠隔制御装置１の第１の方向が重力方向に沿う方向になるような遠隔制御装置１の姿勢（図６Ｂ参照）が、溶接電流のスイッチモードに切替わるモード切替の姿勢（以下、『電流姿勢』と表す）として登録されている。また、遠隔制御装置１の第２の方向が重力方向（または反重力方向）に沿う方向になるような遠隔制御装置１の姿勢（図６Ｃ参照）が、溶接電圧のスイッチモードに切替わるモード切替の姿勢（以下、『電圧姿勢』と表す）として登録されている。 In the present embodiment, the attitude of the remote control device 1 (see FIG. 6B) such that the first direction of the remote control device 1 is in the direction along the direction of gravity (see FIG. 6B) is a mode switching posture that switches to a welding current switch mode ( Hereinafter, it is registered as “current posture”. Further, the mode switching in which the attitude of the remote control device 1 (see FIG. 6C) such that the second direction of the remote control device 1 is in the direction along the gravity direction (or anti-gravity direction) is switched to the welding voltage switch mode. Registered (hereinafter referred to as “voltage attitude”).
　次に、登録されているモード切替の姿勢を変更する場合について説明する。 Next, the case of changing the registered mode switching attitude will be described.
　まず、溶接電流のスイッチモードに切替わるモード切替の姿勢の変更方法について説明する。設定メニュー画面上で上スイッチ６１または下スイッチ６２を用いて、図６Ａに示すように『姿勢設定』の項目まで二重矢印を異動させ、姿勢設定モードを選択する。次に、上スイッチ６１または下スイッチ６２を用いて、二重矢印を移動させ、電流姿勢を選択し、遠隔制御装置１を第２の方向が重力方向（または反重力方向）に沿う状態にして登録する。 First, a method for changing the mode switching attitude to switch to the welding current switch mode will be described. Using the upper switch 61 or the lower switch 62 on the setting menu screen, as shown in FIG. 6A, the double arrow is moved to the “posture setting” item, and the posture setting mode is selected. Next, using the upper switch 61 or the lower switch 62, the double arrow is moved, the current posture is selected, and the remote control device 1 is brought into a state where the second direction is along the gravity direction (or the antigravity direction). sign up.
　なお、遠隔制御装置１に登録される『電流姿勢』は、作業者が遠隔制御装置１を手に保持した状態で操作した時に、遠隔制御装置１の電流姿勢の方向を重力方向に沿うように、容易に向けることができる方向とするのが好ましい。 The “current posture” registered in the remote control device 1 is such that the direction of the current posture of the remote control device 1 follows the direction of gravity when the operator operates the remote control device 1 while holding it in his hand. It is preferable that the direction can be easily directed.
　なお、『電圧姿勢』の変更についても『電流姿勢』の変更と同様であるのでここでは説明を省略する。 Note that the change in the “voltage attitude” is the same as the change in the “current attitude”, so the description thereof is omitted here.
　溶接電流のモード切替の姿勢（電圧姿勢）と溶接電圧のモード切替の姿勢（電流姿勢）とは、互いに異なる姿勢とする。例えば、電圧姿勢と電流姿勢とは、９０度異なるようにして設定する。 The welding current mode switching posture (voltage posture) and the welding voltage mode switching posture (current posture) are different from each other. For example, the voltage posture and the current posture are set so as to be different by 90 degrees.
　長方形状の遠隔制御装置１のモード切替の姿勢の１つ（例えば、電流姿勢）を、図３Ａに示すように遠隔制御装置１の長手方向が重力方向（または反重力方向）に沿う立て姿勢に設定する。そして、長方形状の遠隔制御装置１のモード切替の姿勢の他の１つ（例えば、電圧姿勢）を、遠隔制御装置１の短手方向が重力方向（または反重力方向）に沿う横姿勢に設定する。そして、遠隔制御装置１の姿勢を変えることで、溶接電流のモードと溶接電圧のモードとの切替を行い、溶接電流と溶接電圧のそれぞれの値を設定できる。 One of the mode switching postures (for example, current posture) of the rectangular remote control device 1 is changed to a standing posture in which the longitudinal direction of the remote control device 1 is along the gravity direction (or antigravity direction) as shown in FIG. 3A. Set. Then, another mode switching posture (for example, a voltage posture) of the rectangular remote control device 1 is set to a lateral posture in which the short direction of the remote control device 1 is along the gravity direction (or the antigravity direction). To do. Then, by changing the attitude of the remote control device 1, switching between the welding current mode and the welding voltage mode can be performed, and the respective values of the welding current and the welding voltage can be set.
　なお、溶接電流のモードに対応する姿勢と溶接電圧のモードに対応する姿勢の設定は、逆であってもよい。 Note that the posture setting corresponding to the welding current mode and the posture setting corresponding to the welding voltage mode may be reversed.
　図３Ｂに示す姿勢は、言い換えれば、表面側の長手方向の上部に表示部を有する長方形状の遠隔制御装置１の側部が重力方向または反重力方向に向く横姿勢と呼ぶことができる。また、図３Ａに示す姿勢は、側部が水平方向に向く立て姿勢と呼ぶことができる。 The posture shown in FIG. 3B can be called, in other words, a lateral posture in which the side portion of the rectangular remote control device 1 having the display portion at the upper portion in the longitudinal direction on the surface side faces in the gravity direction or the antigravity direction. Further, the posture shown in FIG. 3A can be referred to as a standing posture in which the side portion is oriented in the horizontal direction.
　以上の通り、本実施形態では、遠隔制御装置１の姿勢を変えることによって、溶接電流または溶接電圧のモード切替を行い、それぞれの値の設定を可能とする。 As described above, in this embodiment, the mode of the welding current or the welding voltage is switched by changing the attitude of the remote control device 1, and each value can be set.
　次に、『立て姿勢』および『横姿勢』について詳細に説明する。 Next, “standing posture” and “lateral posture” will be described in detail.
　『立て姿勢』とは、図６Ａに示す遠隔制御装置１の長手方向である第１方向が図３Ａや図６Ｂに示す様に重力方向（または反重力方向）に沿っている状態のことである。『横姿勢』とは、図６Ａに示す遠隔制御装置１の短手方向である第２方向が、図３Ｂや図６Ｃに示す様に重力方向に沿っている状態のことである。 “Standing posture” refers to a state in which the first direction, which is the longitudinal direction of the remote control device 1 shown in FIG. 6A, is along the gravitational direction (or antigravity direction) as shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 6B. . The “lateral posture” is a state in which the second direction, which is the short direction of the remote control device 1 shown in FIG. 6A, is along the direction of gravity as shown in FIGS. 3B and 6C.
　なお、『横姿勢』においては、表示部１５の長手方向が重力方向に沿う方向になるように配置される場合（図３Ｂに示す配置）と、さらに表示部１５の面が水平になるように配置される場合の２通りの姿勢があるが、本実施形態では、『横姿勢』には、２通りの姿勢が含まれるように設定されても良い。 In the “lateral orientation”, when the display unit 15 is arranged so that the longitudinal direction thereof is along the direction of gravity (the arrangement shown in FIG. 3B), the surface of the display unit 15 is further horizontal. In the present embodiment, the “lateral posture” may be set so as to include two different postures.
　［角度ズレの許容値］
　次に、図７を用いながら、登録されるモード切替の姿勢の角度ズレの許容値について説明する。 [Tolerance of angle deviation]
Next, an allowable value of the angle deviation of the registered mode switching posture will be described with reference to FIG.
　角度ズレの許容値は設定可能である。遠隔制御装置１に設定される各モードの切替姿勢の方向と重力方向とのなす角度を角度θとする。角度θが所定値以下の場合には、設定されるその方向をスイッチモードの姿勢として判断するものとする。 ¡An allowable value for angle deviation can be set. An angle formed between the direction of the switching posture of each mode set in the remote control device 1 and the direction of gravity is defined as an angle θ. When the angle θ is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value, the set direction is determined as the switch mode posture.
　例えば、図７に示すように所定値を３０度として設定しておく。遠隔制御装置１の電流のモード切替の姿勢を第１方向とする場合、第１方向がこの重力方向に対して角度θで傾いた状態でも所定値の３０度以下であるため、電流のモード切替の姿勢であると判断する。図７に示す状態では、上スイッチ６１、または下スイッチ６２のスイッチを押すことで電流の設定が可能である。 For example, a predetermined value is set as 30 degrees as shown in FIG. When the current mode switching posture of the remote control device 1 is the first direction, the current mode switching is performed because the first direction is 30 degrees or less of the predetermined value even when the first direction is inclined at an angle θ with respect to the gravitational direction. It is judged that it is a posture. In the state shown in FIG. 7, the current can be set by pressing the upper switch 61 or the lower switch 62.
　ただし所定値は二つ以上の方向で反応しないよう±４０度以下が好ましい。 However, the predetermined value is preferably ± 40 degrees or less so as not to react in two or more directions.
　なお、作業者が遠隔制御装置１の操作を行わない場合は誤動作を防ぐため操作を受け付けないようにロックスイッチまたはロックコマンド等（図示せず）により各操作の設定画面をロックすることも可能である。 When the operator does not operate the remote control device 1, the setting screen for each operation can be locked by a lock switch or a lock command (not shown) so as not to accept the operation in order to prevent malfunction. is there.
　なお、図６Ａに示すように遠隔制御装置１の側部が傾斜している場合は、表面が垂直に延伸していても、側部については斜め方向に延伸することになる。遠隔制御装置１の長手方向が上方に向かって延伸していれば、遠隔制御装置１が垂直方向（重力方向）に向かって延伸しているものとする。言い換えると、遠隔制御装置１が全体的に上方に向かって延伸していれば、遠隔制御装置１が垂直方向（重力方向）に向かって延伸しているものとする。また、水平方向についても同様である。 In addition, as shown to FIG. 6A, when the side part of the remote control apparatus 1 inclines, even if the surface is extending | stretching perpendicular | vertical, about the side part, it will extend | stretch in the diagonal direction. If the longitudinal direction of the remote control device 1 extends upward, it is assumed that the remote control device 1 extends in the vertical direction (gravity direction). In other words, if the remote control device 1 extends generally upward, it is assumed that the remote control device 1 extends in the vertical direction (gravity direction). The same applies to the horizontal direction.
