Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automatic welding of metal furniture, in particular to an automatic welding method for metal furniture. Background Art
[0002] The welding process of metal furniture occupies an important position in the furniture manufacturing industry, especially in the production of tables and chairs, where the quality of welding directly affects the stability and durability of the product. Traditional metal welding methods mostly rely on manual operation. Although this method can ensure the welding quality to a certain extent, it also has many shortcomings, such as uneven operator skill levels, difficult to control welding accuracy, and low production efficiency.
[0003] In recent years, with the development of automation technology, automatic welding methods have gradually become a new trend in metal furniture manufacturing. This method realizes the automation of the welding process through mechanized means, which can effectively improve the accuracy and consistency of welding. However, there are still some problems that need to be solved in the existing automatic welding technology. The current welding method often lacks precise control of the cutting angle and welding position during the cutting and splicing of square tubes. Traditional cutting methods often rely on manual visual inspection, which is not only inefficient but also prone to errors, resulting in angle deviation of the welded parts after welding, affecting the stability of the overall structure. In terms of welding adjustment strategies, although some technologies attempt to optimize the quality of welded parts by adjusting the cutting angle, the current technical solutions are still not enough to fully consider the specific conditions of different welded parts. For example, for the case where the centerline angle of the outer surface of the welded part is less than or greater than 90°, the existing technology mostly relies on static rules for adjustment, and fails to make dynamic adjustments based on real-time detection data, which limits its application in complex welding scenarios.
[0004] In summary, although the existing automatic welding technology has made some progress in improving welding efficiency and quality, it still faces many challenges. It is urgent to develop more intelligent and precise welding methods to achieve comprehensive control and optimization of the welding process, thereby improving the production quality and efficiency of metal furniture.

[0098] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0099] 1. By selecting the cutting side, the cutting direction can be flexibly adjusted to meet different processing requirements. Allowing the selection of any side enhances the flexibility of the design, can adapt to different production environments and conditions, and thus improves the efficiency and accuracy of processing; determining the reference side helps the accuracy of subsequent cutting and ensures the stability during cutting. By setting the reference surface, it can effectively reduce processing errors and provide accurate references for subsequent welding and assembly; by selecting and comparing intersecting edges, accurate cutting positioning can be achieved; find a point on the long side and record it as the second vertex, so that the distance from the first vertex to the second vertex is equal to the length of the short side. Through this positioning method, it can be ensured that the shape of the cutting meets the design requirements and enhances the stability of the structure. This step provides a specific geometric basis for subsequent cutting, ensures that the required shape is formed during cutting, reduces welding problems caused by improper size, and ensures the rationality of the overall design; by clarifying the position of the third vertex, it can help define the precise boundary of the cutting and ensure the accuracy of the cutting shape; forming a cutting line provides a clear path for actual cutting and ensures the smoothness of the cutting process. By connecting the determined vertices, the cutting accuracy can be improved and shape deviations caused by human errors can be avoided; the two cross-sections of the cut square tube are spliced and the two square tubes are welded along the splicing line. This process is a key step in combining the two parts together to ensure the integrity and stability of the structure. Through splicing and welding, a strong connection between different parts can be achieved, increasing the bearing capacity of the structure; by ensuring that the cross-sections overlap, the quality of welding can be improved and the firmness of the connection can be enhanced; by measuring the square tube after welding, potential errors can be discovered and corrected in a timely manner to ensure that the quality of the product meets the design standards.
[0100] 2. Determining the center line of the outer surface of the weldment provides an accurate benchmark for subsequent measurements. This step ensures the accuracy of subsequent operations and enables the measurement of the angle to be performed at a unified reference point, avoiding errors caused by inconsistent measurement benchmarks. By accurately obtaining the center line, the symmetry and stability of the overall structure can be improved, ensuring the quality of subsequent welding; measuring the angle can evaluate the geometric accuracy of the weldment to ensure that it meets the design requirements; setting the angle to 90° ensures that the weldment is within the design requirements, which is crucial for the stability of the structure. If the angle meets the requirements, the production process can be efficiently promoted, unnecessary pauses can be reduced, and overall work efficiency can be improved; when the angle does not meet the standard, formulating an adjustment strategy is a key step to ensure product quality. This process can promptly discover and resolve potential welding defects, thereby preventing unqualified products from entering the market. The process of forming an adjustment strategy not only improves the response speed to problems, but also provides effective improvement measures for subsequent production, enhancing overall production efficiency and product quality assurance.
[0101] 3. The square tube has been divided into two trapezoidal surfaces and two rectangular surfaces during cutting. When splicing, the cut surfaces are overlapped, resulting in the rectangular surface with a smaller area on the inside and the rectangle with a larger area on the outside. The two rectangles on the outside are used as the outer surface of the weldment. The midpoint of the short side of the surface with a larger area of the square tube is obtained and connected. The connected straight line is the median line of the larger area of the square tube. The center of the two square tubes is used as the center line of the outer surface of the weldment, which can be clearly expressed in the figure.
[0102] 4. Clean the weld surface to remove oil and impurities, ensure good contact before welding, and reduce the risk of welding defects; through evenly distributed acoustic emission sensors, the acoustic emission signals inside the weld can be fully monitored to improve the accuracy of data collection. This arrangement helps to detect potential welding defects in a timely manner, such as the distribution of different thicknesses of the weld; calibrating the acoustic emission sensor is a key step to ensure the accuracy of subsequent data, which improves the reliability of signal acquisition; applying external loads can simulate the actual use conditions after welding, so as to evaluate the performance of the welded joint under different stresses. This process can reveal the possible weaknesses of the weld under working conditions, enhance the understanding of welding quality, and reduce the risk of possible failures in actual applications; real-time data collection allows dynamic monitoring of the behavior of the weld during the welding process and timely detection of problems; analyzing the acoustic emission signal can provide important feedback on the quality of the weld and reveal the welding strength at different locations. This analysis helps to find possible weaknesses in the welding process; drawing a plane map to visualize the welding quality information helps to intuitively understand the overall condition of the welded joint. By mapping the welding strength to the plane map, the distribution of the welding strength can be clearly displayed.
[0103] 5. Determining the angle condition helps to identify welding situations that need to be adjusted, ensuring that the geometric characteristics of the welded parts are clear before welding. By accurately obtaining the angle, a better cutting and welding plan can be formulated to ensure that the welded parts are within the design requirements. The analysis of the offset angle can help identify the gap between the welded parts and the design requirements, thereby providing data support for adjusting the welding process and enhancing the accuracy of the welding connection. By calculating the offset, the specific degree of deviation of the welded parts can be clarified. The acquisition of the standard height provides a benchmark for subsequent welding adjustments to ensure that the welded parts meet the design requirements in structure. The acquisition of any side surface provides flexibility for subsequent welding adjustments and can be used for quality assessment and adjustment from multiple angles. Defining the oblique side helps to clarify the geometric characteristics of the welded structure and make the subsequent welding process clearer. Defining and adjusting the cutting angle is a key step to ensure the accuracy of the cutting direction, which helps to optimize the joint degree of the welded joint. By adjusting the cutting angle direction, the cutting process can be optimized to meet the actual needs of the welded parts. Cutting according to the target cutting angle ensures accurate docking between welded parts and greatly improves the welding quality.
[0104] 6. Identifying and obtaining the intersection lines of the oblique side surfaces of the square tube is an important step in the design of welded parts. It clarifies the geometric characteristics of the welded joints. Recording the vertices of the intersection lines can provide clear reference points for the geometric design of the welded joints. Determining the diplomatic points provides key geometric data for the outer surface of the welded parts, which helps to clearly understand the characteristics of the welded structure. By clarifying the position of the diplomatic points, it can effectively guide the cutting and welding operations in the subsequent welding process, ensuring that the joints of the welded parts can fit perfectly, thereby improving the overall welding strength and stability of the connection. Aligning the edges of the cut angles with the welding lines is the key to achieving precise cutting, which helps to improve the matching degree of the welded joints.
[0105] 7. Establishing a strength value set provides a data basis for subsequent welding evaluation, so that the welding strengths corresponding to different cutting angles can be compared. The simulated cutting process can predict the impact of different cutting angles on welded parts in advance, providing a reference for subsequent actual cutting. This process can identify potential structural problems. Splicing welded parts after simulated cutting is an important step to verify the cutting effect, combining actual operation with theoretical design. Measuring the angle is a key step in evaluating the quality of welded joints, which helps to ensure that welded parts meet design specifications. This data can reveal potential errors in a timely manner. By judging the relationship between the height of the square tube and the height of the standard table leg, it can be ensured that the actual size of the welded parts meets the design requirements. This process not only ensures the functionality of the welded parts, but also reduces subsequent adjustments and repairs. This step The first step is to collect welding strength information under specific conditions to help build a strength assessment model. The cutting angle is adjusted by rotation to ensure that the weldment can meet the design standard. If it is not vertical, the cutting angle is adjusted by rotation. This judgment makes the welding angle adjustment more accurate and helps to correct the angle error that may cause welding defects in time. Determining the rotation point provides a clear operating benchmark for adjusting the cutting angle, which helps to improve the accuracy of the cutting process. By rotating at a specific point, it is ensured that the change in the cutting angle is reasonable. This process can ensure the cutting accuracy of the weldment. By repeating these steps, the precise adjustment of the welding angle is ensured, and the controllability of the welding process is improved. By comparing the strength value set, the adjustment angle can be systematically identified. Covering the weakest welds, the best cutting angle can be obtained.
[0106] 8. Setting the angle condition can quickly identify the geometric features of the weldment and ensure the accuracy of the welding process. An angle less than 90° may cause instability in the welded structure, so this condition helps engineers make timely adjustments to reduce the risk of welding defects. Accurately measuring the angle α2 of the weldment provides important data for subsequent welding adjustments. By calculating the offset of the angle, the geometric deviation of the weldment can be clarified. This calculation provides a specific direction for subsequent welding adjustments. Determining the cutting opening angle provides clear guidance for the welding process. Obtaining the standard table leg height provides an important reference for the design of weldments and helps ensure that weldments meet actual usage requirements. This step ensures the consistency and practicality of the product and avoids quality problems caused by height mismatch. The flexibility of obtaining any side surface provides a variety of options for welding adjustments. This method can be evaluated from multiple angles, making the welding process more adaptable and helping to effectively respond to various welding requirements in complex environments. The clear definition of the oblique side makes the geometric features of the welded structure clearer. By clarifying the interactive relationship of the oblique side, it helps to better understand the geometric structure of the weldment. Defining and adjusting the cutting angle provides a clear operating framework for the welding process. This step ensures that the welded parts can maintain the best contact surface during cutting, which helps to improve the welding quality and reduce the defect rate of the welded joints, thereby improving the overall performance of the product. By flexibly adjusting the cutting angle direction, it ensures that the welded parts can meet the design standards. This dynamic adjustment capability enhances the adaptability of the welding process. Cutting according to the target cutting angle ensures accurate docking between welded parts and greatly improves welding quality. This process not only optimizes the strength and stability of the welded joint, but also ensures the reliability and safety of the final product in practical applications.
[0107] 9. Identifying the intersection line between the oblique sides of the square tube provides a geometric basis for subsequent welding adjustments. The process of determining the inner intersection point makes the geometric characteristics of the welded structure clearer. The acquisition of this inner intersection point provides a key reference for subsequent cutting and welding adjustments, which helps to ensure the precise joining between welded parts and reduce welding defects caused by structural mismatches, thereby improving welding quality. By aligning the edge of the cutting angle with the welding line, the accuracy of the cutting process can be ensured. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0166] Get the standard height of the table legs, recorded as the standard table leg height;
[0167] Obtain any side surface of the weldment;
[0168] The side surface of the weldment is specifically:
[0169] The surface with the beveled edge after the square tube is cut is recorded as the beveled side surface;

[0174] Determining the angle condition helps to identify welding situations that need to be adjusted, ensuring that the geometric characteristics of the weldment are clear before welding. By accurately obtaining the angle, a better cutting and welding plan can be formulated to ensure that the weldment is within the design requirements. The analysis of the offset angle can help identify the gap between the weldment and the design requirements, thereby providing data support for adjusting the welding process and enhancing the accuracy of the welding connection. By calculating the offset, the specific degree of deviation of the weldment can be clarified. The acquisition of the standard height provides a benchmark for subsequent welding adjustments to ensure that the weldment meets the design requirements in structure. The acquisition of any side surface provides flexibility for subsequent welding adjustments and can evaluate and adjust quality from multiple angles. Defining the oblique side helps to clarify the geometric characteristics of the welded structure and make the subsequent welding process clearer. Defining and adjusting the cutting angle is a key step to ensure the accuracy of the cutting direction and helps to optimize the joint degree of the welded joint. By adjusting the cutting angle direction, the cutting process can be optimized to meet the actual needs of the weldment. Cutting according to the target cutting angle ensures accurate docking between welds and greatly improves the welding quality.

[0179] One edge of the adjusted cutting angle is overlapped with the welding line of the side surface of the weldment, and the other edge is located on one of the two oblique side surfaces of the square tube.
[0180] Identifying and obtaining the intersection lines of the oblique side surfaces of square tubes is an important step in the design of welded parts. It clarifies the geometric features of welded joints. Recording the vertices of the intersection lines can provide clear reference points for the geometric design of welded joints. Determining the diplomatic point provides key geometric data for the outer surface of the welded part, which helps to clearly understand the characteristics of the welded structure. By clarifying the position of the diplomatic point, it can effectively guide the cutting and welding operations in the subsequent welding process, ensuring that the joints of the welded parts can fit perfectly, thereby improving the overall welding strength and stability of the connection. Aligning the edges of the cut angles with the welding lines is the key to achieving precise cutting, which helps to improve the matching degree of the welded joints.

If it is equal to the standard table leg height, obtain the sum of the strength values of the welding points covered by the adjusted cutting angle at this time, and add the sum of the strength values to the strength value set. If it is not equal to the standard table leg height, rotate and adjust the cutting angle;
[0187] S7. If it is not vertical, rotate and adjust the cutting angle;
[0188] The rotation adjustment of the cutting angle specifically includes: rotating with the vertex of the adjusted cutting angle as the rotation point;
[0189] Repeat steps S3-S7 until the other side of the adjusted cutting angle coincides with the welding line on the side surface of the weldment;
[0190] The elements in the strength value set are compared, and the position of the adjusted cutting angle corresponding to the element with the smallest value is obtained, which is recorded as the target cutting angle.
[0191] Establishing a set of strength values provides a data basis for subsequent welding evaluation, so that the welding strengths corresponding to different cutting angles can be compared. The simulated cutting process can predict the impact of different cutting angles on welded parts in advance, providing a reference for subsequent actual cutting. This process can identify potential structural problems. Splicing welded parts after simulated cutting is an important step to verify the cutting effect, combining actual operation with theoretical design. Measuring the angle is a key step in evaluating the quality of welded joints, which helps ensure that welded parts meet design specifications. This data can reveal potential errors in a timely manner. By judging the relationship between the height of the square tube and the height of the standard table leg, it can be ensured that the actual size of the welded part meets the design requirements. This process not only ensures the functionality of the welded part, but also reduces subsequent adjustments and repairs. This step By collecting welding strength information under specific conditions, it helps to build a strength assessment model. By rotating and adjusting the cutting angle, it ensures that the weldment can meet the design standard. If it is not vertical, the cutting angle is rotated and adjusted. This judgment makes the welding angle adjustment more accurate, which helps to correct the angle error that may cause welding defects in time. Determining the rotation point provides a clear operating benchmark for adjusting the cutting angle, which helps to improve the accuracy of the cutting process. By rotating at a specific point, it ensures that the change in the cutting angle is reasonable. This process can ensure the cutting accuracy of the weldment. By repeating these steps, the precise adjustment of the welding angle is ensured, and the controllability of the welding process is improved. By comparing the strength value set, it is possible to systematically identify the areas where the adjustment angle covers the weakest welds, thereby obtaining the optimal cutting angle.

An angle less than 90° may cause instability in the welded structure, so this condition helps engineers make timely adjustments to reduce the risk of welding defects. Accurately measuring the angle α2 of the weldment provides important data for subsequent welding adjustments. By calculating the offset of the angle, the geometric deviation of the weldment can be clarified. This calculation provides a specific direction for subsequent welding adjustments.

This method can be evaluated from multiple angles, making the welding process more adaptable and helping to effectively respond to various welding requirements in complex environments. The clear definition of the oblique side makes the geometric features of the welded structure clearer. By clarifying the interactive relationship of the oblique side, it helps to better understand the geometric structure of the weldment. Defining and adjusting the cutting angle provides a clear operating framework for the welding process. This step ensures that the welded parts can maintain the best contact surface during cutting, which helps to improve the welding quality and reduce the defect rate of the welded joints, thereby improving the overall performance of the product. By flexibly adjusting the cutting angle direction, it ensures that the welded parts can meet the design standards. This dynamic adjustment capability enhances the adaptability of the welding process.
