Automatic welding method based on 3D model and machine vision

Abstract

The invention relates to an automatic welding method based on a three-dimensional model and machine vision and a welding device based on the three-dimensional model and the machine vision, relating to the technical field of welding. An industrial camera is used for acquiring an image of a workpiece to be welded; three-dimensional match is carried out and the workpiece to be welded is positioned according to the three-dimensional model of the workpiece; a welding line is positioned according to welding line information in the three-dimensional model; the welding line is accurately positioned by using a structure optical sensor; a movement track of a welding gun is adjusted according to the accurate position of the welding line so as to accurately track and weld the welding line. According to the automatic welding method, an automatic positioning and tracking function of the welding line can be realized, and the reliability of tracking the welding line and the tracking precision are improved. The problems that the welding precision is influenced, caused by the fact that the workpiece is warped by thermal deformation in a welding process and the like are solved; the adjustment and the adaptation can be carried out very well and the welding quality is improved.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a welding device and a welding method, belonging to the technical field of welding. Background technique

[0002] In the prior art, most of the welding robots used at home and abroad belong to teaching reproduction with low intelligence level and a small amount of off-line programming robots. These two types of welding robots do not have the function of real-time adjustment and control, and cannot adapt to workpiece processing and assembly errors and thermal deformation caused by welding (see "Xu Yanling, Robot GTAW based on vision and arc sensing technology for three-dimensional welding seam real-time tracking Control Technology Research, Shanghai, Doctoral Dissertation of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, published in 2013"). At present, intelligent welding systems with real-time tracking function have been researched, but these systems need to move the welding torch to the starting point of the welding seam for initialization,...
