Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the existing underwater welding robots cannot automatically find the weld on the workpiece to be welded, and people need to perform remote control on the water surface. Specifically, the underwater welding robot sends the underwater image wirelessly to the water computer system for display to the operator. The operator controls the welding parts of the underwater robot to the welding position according to the displayed results to complete the welding operation
This underwater welding method needs to constantly interact with water equipment and personnel, which wastes manpower and material resources, and the level of automation is not high

Embodiment Construction

[0014] The implementation of the image recognition-based underwater welding robot of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] With the start of a large number of bridge infrastructure projects and the development of the offshore oil and gas industry, there are more and more underwater operations. Due to the particularity of the underwater environment, operators can no longer normally perform workpiece welding operations like on land. , but can only use welding tools instead of welding in the water. Among them, the most commonly used equipment is the underwater welding robot.

[0016] The existing underwater welding robot has a welding torch driving mechanism and a workpiece image acquisition mechanism, which can send the real-time working conditions of the welding workpiece to the control equipment on the water surface for reference by the operator, and the operator can also drive the welding torch in real tim...

Abstract

The invention relates to an underwater welding robot based on image identification. The underwater welding robot comprises a welding gun driving device, a high-definition image sensor, an image processor and a main controller, wherein the high-definition image sensor is used for collecting a welding image of welding work; the image processor is connected with the high-definition image sensor and is used for carrying out image identification processing on the welding image to detect the position of a welding seam in the welding image; the main controller is connected with the welding gun driving device and the image processor and is used for controlling the welding gun driving device to drive an underwater welding gun to reach the position of the welding seam based on the position of the welding seam. Through the underwater welding robot disclosed by the invention, the intelligent degree of the underwater welding robot can be increased, and the locating and the welding on an underwater welding seam can be completed without manual operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of underwater robots, in particular to an image recognition-based underwater welding robot. Background technique [0002] Robot, the English name is Robot, is the abbreviation of automatic control machine. In contemporary industry, a robot refers to a man-made machine device that can perform tasks automatically, and is used to replace or assist human work, especially in some places that are dangerous and harmful to the human body or where the human body cannot stay for a long time, such as explosive disposal robots, underwater robots, etc. Underwater welding is an important application of underwater robots. Using underwater robots to perform underwater welding solves the problem that people cannot stay underwater for a long time to perform welding. [0003] However, the existing underwater welding robots cannot automatically find the weld on the workpiece to be welded, and people need to perform remote control on th...
