[0019] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0020] The following describes in detail the specific implementation manners of the present invention with reference to specific embodiments.

[0021] As Figure 1 described, a three-dimensional simulation verification method based on BIM provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps: S10. Obtain and import a perspective scan model of the workpiece to be welded, and perform spatial alignment on the perspective scan model in the welding coordinate system. The perspective scan model includes the external structure distribution and internal material distribution of the workpiece, and different materials and distributions all correspond to including thermal influence characteristics; S20. Set welding environment parameters and welding parameters, and perform association and data synchronization of physical simulation models on the welding environment and the workpiece to be welded respectively. The physical simulation models are respectively used to simulate the heat diffusion in air and metal and the heat feedback of the metal; S30. Set the welding start point, perform step-by-step welding simulation according to the welding joint distribution and the minimum welding step, and perform simulation fitting of the environment and the workpiece through the physical simulation model to obtain workpiece thermal deformation data; S40. Update the perspective scanning model and the welding seam based on the workpiece thermal deformation data, so as to cyclically execute the step welding simulation, and establish a thermally corrected weld seam route according to the simulated historical route. The thermally corrected weld seam route is positioned based on the welding coordinate system.

[0022] In this embodiment, through the method of simulation, a high-precision welding management implementation method that maps from reality to virtual and then corrects real data through virtual simulation is constructed. It can realize the simulation fitting of the thermal deformation of the workpiece seam at different positions during the welding process on the premise of condition synchronization, and judge the small change relative to the seam position in the cooled state when moving to the next welding point after welding at the current welding point. Furthermore, calculate the deviation correction value that the welding point should make. Compared with the existing welding control scheme, it can obtain a more accurate welding seam positioning and improve the welding quality; when performing automated welding, the conventional technical scheme usually uses vision to position the welding seam, and then guides the welding according to the welding seam position. The vision guidance methods include guiding through the complete positioning of the weld seam before welding and real-time vision guidance during welding. For the former, because during the welding process, workpieces of different materials will all produce a certain degree of deformation at high temperatures, the weld seam positioning in the cooled state may deviate during welding (the different structural notches of the workpieces on both sides of the welding seam will all cause asymmetry in thermal deformation), resulting in a decrease in welding accuracy; for the latter, conventional vision includes vision schemes in the visible light band, vision schemes in the infrared band, etc. These vision schemes will all be interfered by the welding arc light generated during welding when used, and it is impossible to accurately judge the weld seam in real time through the vision scheme completely, and there are the following problems: First, the whole process needs to go through multiple data processes such as image acquisition - data processing - image recognition - weld seam determination, and control data establishment and feedback are required after the determination is completed. Multiple data processing processes will bring a long data delay. During welding, the thermal change of the weld seam is fast and tiny. Under such high delay, it is impossible to achieve real-time synchronous correction data feedback and impossible to achieve precise correction of the welding process; Second, based on the correction recognition method of image feature recognition, the minimum resolution is severely limited by the equipment. In actual use, the resolution is low, the sensitivity to subtle thermal deformation is low. At the same time, the high heat during welding will further reduce the local airflow stability, reduce the stability of light passing through, resulting in enhanced bending and scattering effects of light, further reducing the resolution and causing imaging jitter; Therefore, in this embodiment, a welding simulation is given in the same way as pre-simulation verification to obtain the thermal change of the workpiece in each step of welding, so as to realize the pre-correction of the weld seam route in the cooled state and achieve the purpose of welding control according to the pre-corrected weld seam.

[0023] Specifically, in order to achieve the thermal simulation of the workpiece, it is first necessary to scan the workpiece to obtain its structural distribution, including the structural distribution of the appearance and the material uniformity distribution inside. After obtaining the perspective scan model including these data, align the pre-real space distribution of the workpiece in the simulation software to ensure the uniqueness of the conditions and the direct operability of the subsequent simulation results for direct mapping to reality. After completion of the alignment, it is necessary to synchronize the relevant influencing parameters such as environmental data to ensure the accuracy of the simulation. After completing these basic settings, the welding simulation process can be carried out. During the simulation, simulate that the welding process forms solder joints on the surface of the workpiece at a certain rate and continuously applies point heat sources. Through the physical simulation model, simulate the diffusion change of heat and the deformation state of the workpiece under the diffused heat. At this time, after completing the welding of the first solder joint, according to the position change of the weld seam, the precise position of the next solder joint can be determined. By repeating the cycle, the position of the weld seam offset under the influence of the reference heat can be established, and the precise correction of the weld seam can be achieved through simulation.

[0024] As Figure 2 shown, as another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the steps of setting the welding starting point and performing step-by-step welding simulation according to the weld seam distribution and the minimum welding step include: S31, identify the welding seam of the workpiece based on the perspective scan model, and obtain the spatial distribution information of the welding seam in the welding coordinate system; S32, set the welding starting point based on the spatial distribution of the welding seam, and select the initial welding direction. The welding starting point represents the end of the welding seam or any point of the closed weld seam, and the initial welding direction is used to represent the welding progress direction; S33, obtain the minimum welding step of the current welding, and judge the seam orientation corresponding to the minimum welding step of the welding seam in the initial welding direction to generate a step control signal; S34, execute the step control signal to control the welding point to displace the minimum welding step along the seam orientation, and perform welding simulation at the target point. The welding simulation is used to add welding materials and simulate point heat sources to the perspective scan model during the continuous time of spot welding.

[0025] In this embodiment, the process of welding simulation is supplemented. During welding, it is carried out through continuous spot welding (some welding methods will use continuous pressure welding methods, but the minimum welding step can also be established by splitting the unit distance). Therefore, in each step of welding, there will be a welding direction and the minimum welding step in this direction (i.e., the advancing distance of each step of welding). Therefore, the determination of the continuous execution points in the welding simulation can be carried out by determining the current point, the welding direction, and the minimum welding step, and the simulation of the welding heat source, that is, the material coverage, is carried out at the execution points.

[0026] As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the step of performing simulation fitting of the environment and the workpiece through a physical simulation model to obtain workpiece thermal deformation data, it includes heat diffusion simulation and workpiece deformation simulation; The heat diffusion simulation is used to characterize the simulation process of the heat diffusion of the welding point in the workpiece and the environment. The heat diffusion simulation is associated with the initial ambient workpiece temperature, environmental medium parameters, workpiece material parameters, workpiece structure parameters, and workpiece material uniformity parameters; The workpiece deformation simulation is used to characterize the simulation process of the thermal deformation state of the workpiece during heat diffusion. The workpiece deformation simulation is associated with the initial ambient workpiece temperature, workpiece material thermal parameters, material structure distribution of the workpiece, and heat diffusion state.

[0027] In this embodiment, relevant descriptions are supplemented to the physical simulation model. Two main aspects of simulation need to be carried out. One is the simulation of heat diffusion, which involves materials science. Different materials and different material densities of the same material will result in differences in heat diffusion. The other is the thermal deformation simulation of the workpiece, which also involves materials science. Different materials will have different deformations when subjected to different temperature ranges. Therefore, accurate mapping of relevant material data and environmental data is required during simulation. Thus, the simulation verification method given in this embodiment is more applicable to high-precision material processing.

[0028] As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step of updating the perspective scanning model and the welding seam based on the workpiece thermal deformation data, cyclically performing step-by-step welding simulation, and establishing a corrected weld seam route according to the simulated historical route includes: Assign values to the perspective scanning model based on the workpiece thermal deformation data corresponding to the simulation fitting of each welding step to correct the thermal deformation of the workpiece; Re-identify the welding seam of the corrected perspective scanning model and update it according to the new coordinate position; Repeat the welding simulation step based on the updated welding seam to obtain several consecutive minimum step records distributed in the welding coordinate system to establish a corrected weld seam route, and the corrected weld seam route is used to map the actual welding control.

[0029] In this embodiment, step S40 is described in detail. The main content includes verifying and correcting the thermal deformation of the workpiece according to the simulation results of the previous welding point, determining the orientation of the next minimum welding step according to the corrected results, positioning the next welding point and performing welding simulation, and completing the simulation of the entire welding process through such a cycle to determine an accurate corrected weld seam route corrected by the simulation results.

[0030] As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes the steps of: Establish initial mapping data based on simulation data, where the initial mapping data includes welding environment parameters, welding parameters, and welding starting points; When performing a welding task, synchronize the current environment and parameters, and verify based on the initial mapping data. If the verification does not conform, correspondingly output environment and parameter correction control signals; If the verification result conforms, verify the welding starting point, and perform welding control through the thermal correction weld seam route.

[0031] In this embodiment, the purpose is to realize the mapping of simulation verification data to actual welding processing. Therefore, in order to achieve the mapping accuracy of simulation results, environmental control is required to ensure the consistency of relevant factors. For high - requirement scenarios, it can also be carried out in a customized controllable closed environment, and the environmental control equipment is used to adjust the environmental parameter consistency in the closed place.
