[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit this disclosure or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0035] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this disclosure.

[0036] At the same time, it should be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the accompanying drawings are not drawn according to actual scale.

[0037] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0038] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0039] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0040] The inventors' research also revealed that related welding simulation technologies mostly remain at the "simulation verification" stage, meaning they are used to explain or predict deformation results after the welding process is determined, failing to be deeply integrated into the front end of process design. Furthermore, the simulation analysis process is usually conducted in isolation, without a linkage mechanism with manufacturing cost modeling and engineering feasibility assessment. It lacks a closed-loop integrated framework from "simulation analysis → factor quantification → cost trade-off → decision output," limiting its guiding value and engineering transformation capabilities in actual production.

[0041] Currently, there is a lack of systematic quantitative evaluation systems for the factors affecting welding deformation. Various factors, such as welding sequence, heat input parameters (current, voltage, speed), fixture settings, assembly gaps, weld leg dimensions, and welding methods, all significantly influence the final deformation morphology. However, a unified evaluation index has not yet been established for the degree of influence, interaction relationships, and control costs of these factors. This makes it impossible to prioritize different control measures and achieve an optimal balance between technical feasibility and economic rationality.

[0042] The inventors discovered through research that the control strategy for welding deformation of related box-type components mainly revolves around three stages: "prevention-control-correction," namely, prediction and prevention, process control, and post-weld correction. The related patented technologies can be summarized into the following categories: (1) Prediction and prevention: Welding deformation is mainly predicted by simulation and anti-deformation measures are prevented before welding.

[0043] (2) Process control: mainly through process parameter optimization, such as welding sequence, direction, energy input, etc., to reduce heat input and uneven stress from the source; rigid constraint and tooling fixture control method, applying external constraints during welding to forcibly suppress deformation, is the most direct and widely used method.

[0044] (3) Post-weld straightening: This includes mechanical straightening (press, roller pressing) and flame heating straightening (point, line, triangular heating), which is widely used in steel structure manufacturing. It can effectively eliminate residual deformation and improve assembly accuracy. The straightening process relies on experience and lacks a unified standard and evaluation system.

[0045] (4) Multi-method fusion welding deformation control strategy.

[0046] The inventors discovered through research that the relevant technologies for controlling welding deformation of box-type components have the following technical problems: (1) In the prediction and prevention stage, the practicality is limited by the reliance on simulation accuracy and idealized assumptions. The simulation modeling is complex and relies on experience. Numerical simulation requires precise setting of material properties, heat source models and boundary conditions. The simplification of complex welds and phase transformation behavior (such as using contact pairs to replace actual phase transformation) leads to a large deviation between the prediction results and the actual results. The anti-deformation design lacks quantitative basis: the current anti-deformation is mostly based on experience or ideal models, without considering the dynamic changes and cumulative effects in the welding process, resulting in insufficient accuracy of the prefabricated shape.

[0047] (2) Process control stage: The limitations of rigid constraints and parameter optimization, poor flexibility and adaptability of tooling fixtures, and the fact that the internal support tooling is adjustable but relies on mechanical structures (cam pairs, tension springs) to achieve constraints, making it difficult to respond to welding thermal deformation in real time, and its versatility for different box sizes is limited; rigid constraints are prone to introducing residual stress, which may lead to secondary deformation or cracking risks. Process optimization relies on data and algorithms, but lacks real-time performance; machine learning is used to optimize the welding sequence, but a large amount of historical data is required to train the model, and the algorithm output is a "predefined scheme", which cannot be dynamically adjusted according to real-time changes in the welding process.

[0048] (3) Post-weld straightening stage: Mechanical straightening (such as press) and flame heating straightening are highly dependent on the operator's experience and lack quantitative control standards, which can easily lead to over-straightening or damage to material properties; real-time control technology is not yet mature; dynamic control can be achieved through digital twin and sensor monitoring, but the system is complex, costly, and relies on high-precision models and sensors, resulting in low reliability and difficulty in promotion in actual production.

[0049] (4) Multi-method fusion strategy: The system is not complex and lacks coordination. We have tried to combine multiple methods such as pre-deformation, tooling, and sequential control, but there are still problems: insufficient multi-stage coordination, the pre-control and correction links operate independently and lack closed-loop feedback throughout the process; the prediction model requires a lot of experimental data to support it and is sensitive to material properties and structural boundary conditions, making it difficult to transfer to new structures; the implementation cost is high and the efficiency is low; the complex tooling, simulation and sensing system increases equipment investment and production cycle, making it difficult to apply to small and medium-sized production scenarios.

[0050] In view of at least one of the above technical problems, this disclosure provides a welding deformation control method and apparatus, a housing, a sweeper truck, and a storage medium. The present disclosure will be described below through specific embodiments.

[0051] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of some embodiments of the welding deformation control method disclosed herein. Figure 2The diagram illustrates other embodiments of the welding deformation control method of this disclosure. Preferably, this embodiment can be executed by the welding deformation control device of this disclosure, the housing of this disclosure, the sweeper truck of this disclosure, or the engineering machinery of this disclosure. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 or Figure 2 The method of the embodiment may include at least one of steps 1 to 5. Figure 2 The embodiment may also include step 6.

[0052] In step 1, a finite element model of the box-shaped component is established.

[0053] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the housing component may be a housing component of a sweeper or other engineering machinery.

[0054] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 or Figure 2 Step 1 of the embodiment may include at least one of steps 11 to 16.

[0055] In step 11, the model of the sweeper truck body is simplified and the mid-surface is extracted.

[0056] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 11 may include: simplifying the geometric model of the box component, including removing minor components such as stiffeners that have little impact on welding deformation, deleting engineering features such as chamfers and fillets, and extracting the mid-surface of each part of the box component based on the above simplification.

[0057] In step 12, the mesh is defined to define the joints.

[0058] In step 13, constraint boundary conditions are applied.

[0059] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 13 may include: establishing a finite element model of the box component based on the shell element, assigning material properties and thickness properties to the model components respectively; and applying constraint boundary conditions to the model based on the actual situation.

[0060] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the constraint boundary conditions mainly consider welding fixture constraints (if there are fixtures), and to avoid overall model movement, three-point constraints are used, such as... Figure 3 The triangle shape shown. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a finite element model for predicting welding deformation of box components in some embodiments of this disclosure.

[0061] In step 14, the weld joint types are statistically analyzed.

[0062] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 14 may include: obtaining typical weld joint types of the box components, including butt joints, lap joints, T-joints, etc., and establishing a list of weld joints.

[0063] In step 15, the welded joints are merged.

[0064] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 15 may include: merging the above-mentioned joint list according to the calculation method of the inherent deformation of the welded joint, wherein the welded joint type, base material performance parameters, base material thickness, welding heat input, etc. affect the value and distribution of the inherent deformation of the welded joint, while factors such as the length of the welded joint can be ignored, and the joint list is merged according to the above-mentioned influencing factors.

[0065] In step 16, the inherent deformation data is obtained.

[0066] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 16 may include: calculating the welding inherent deformation data of each joint, such as longitudinal shrinkage inherent deformation, transverse shrinkage inherent deformation, longitudinal bending inherent deformation, and transverse bending inherent deformation, and storing them in a database.

[0067] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the calculation methods mainly include at least one of the following methods: experimental testing, deformation inversion, empirical formula, and strain integral.

[0068] In step 2, based on the finite element model, welding deformation is predicted, and deformation data at key locations of the box-shaped components are extracted.

[0069] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 2 may include: solving welding deformation simulation.

[0070] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 or Figure 2 Step 2 of the embodiment may include at least one of steps 21 to 22.

[0071] In step 21, retrieve the inherent deformation data.

[0072] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 21 may include: retrieving the inherent deformation data of each welded joint in the structural component from the inherent deformation database based on the finite element model of the box component.

[0073] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the inherent deformation data may include various types such as longitudinal shrinkage inherent deformation, transverse shrinkage inherent deformation, longitudinal bending inherent deformation, and transverse bending inherent deformation.

[0074] In step 22, welding deformation is predicted.

[0075] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 22 may include: loading inherent deformation data into the weld of the finite element model; performing a welding deformation prediction through a single elastic calculation to obtain a deformation cloud map of the structural component.

[0076] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 22 may include: loading four data points of the inherent strain onto the weld location, causing elastic deformation near the weld through the four data points, thereby obtaining the deformation of the entire structural component.

[0077] In step 3, if the deformation data does not meet the design requirements of the box-shaped component, the influencing factors of the welding deformation are obtained.

[0078] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 or Figure 2 Step 3 of the embodiment may include at least one of steps 31 to 33.

[0079] In step 31, the deformation at key locations is extracted.

[0080] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 31 may include: deformation feature analysis and key location deformation extraction.

[0081] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 3 As shown, the key location is the black curve set on the upper surface of the box structure. Figure 3 The curve in the middle is a straight line.

[0082] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 31 may include: analyzing the deformation trend and magnitude of the box-shaped component based on simulation results using cloud maps, curve graphs, etc.; determining whether the deformation trend of the box-shaped component in the simulation model matches the actual deformation results in production by examining X, Y, Z and overall cloud maps; and determining the rationality of the deformation based on the method of weld shrinkage caused by welding deformation. Secondly, to facilitate data comparison and analysis, the simulation results and measured results of welding deformation at typical locations of the box-shaped component are compared. The error in the average deformation amount, maximum deformation amount, etc., is used to determine the conformity between the finite element simulation results and the measured results, as shown in Table 1. Table 1 is a schematic diagram of the deviation analysis between the key locations and curve prediction structures of the box-shaped component and the measured results in some embodiments of this disclosure. The purpose of this step is to ensure the correctness of the finite element model and provide model support for the subsequent deformation control scheme formulation. Generally, the error (i.e., conformity) between the finite element simulation results and the measured results is controlled within 15%.

[0083] Table 1

[0084] In step 32, the maximum deformation of the critical deformation region is determined, and it is judged whether the maximum deformation of the critical deformation region meets the design requirements of the box-type component. If the design requirements of the box-type component are met, the following steps are executed: Figure 2 Step 6 of the embodiment is to output the control scheme; otherwise, if the design requirements of the box component are met, step 33 is executed.

[0085] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 32 may include: determining the maximum allowable value for the critical deformation area based on design requirements (these requirements are mentioned in the product design and involve a lot of content, mainly reflected in the allowable deformation amount in the technical drawings). Figure 2 (meeting the requirements) and extracting the curves of key deformation areas from the simulation results to analyze the deformation trend of these areas; simultaneously, extracting the variation of the maximum welding deformation in these areas with the load step (e.g., Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the load step with the largest deformation is obtained, which helps to determine which weld or welds have the greatest impact on the maximum deformation of the area, and then to focus on proposing control measures for the welds with the greatest impact. Figure 2 The requirement mentioned in the text mainly refers to whether the maximum value of the key deformation area meets the requirements of the drawing.

[0086] Figure 4 This is a graph showing the variation of the maximum welding deformation at key locations of the box-type components with load step in some embodiments of this disclosure. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the horizontal axis represents the weld number, so there is no unit (the weld number means that there are more than 200 welds in the sweeper truck body, and the weld number 1 is welded first, which also determines the welding order). Figure 4 The data extracted shows the variation of the maximum deformation in the X, Y, and Z directions with the weld number.

[0087] In step 33, the key factors affecting deformation (influencing factors) are selected to design an experimental scheme.

[0088] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 33 may include: selecting typical factors that affect welding deformation based on the finite element model of the box component, such as weld leg size, welding method, welding sequence, joint gap, tooling constraints, etc.

[0089] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the influencing factors may include at least one of the following: weld leg size, welding method, welding sequence, joint gap, tooling constraints, and intermittent welding. The tooling constraints are dimensional constraints of the box component in the length, width, height, and other directions. The welding method optimization is to optimize from the current welding method to an efficient welding method. The current welding method may be gas shielded welding, and the efficient welding method may be laser welding.

[0090] In other embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 2 As shown, the influencing factors may include at least one of the following: welding structure optimization, welding sequence optimization, welding joint optimization, welding reverse deformation, use of intermittent welding, high-efficiency welding method, process parameter optimization, welding tooling constraints, etc.

[0091] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram illustrating typical factors affecting welding deformation in some embodiments of this disclosure. For example... Figure 5 As shown, in the welding deformation control scheme, the influencing factors can include design stage factors and manufacturing stage factors. Design stage factors can include structural design factors and joint design factors. Structural design factors include at least one of the following: selecting a structural form with good weldability, and rationally arranging the weld layout and joint position. Joint design factors include at least one of the following: designing a reasonable weld leg size, and adopting an intermittent welding method. Manufacturing stage factors include pre-welding factors and in-welding factors. Pre-welding factors include at least one of the following: welding anti-deformation, welding tooling constraints, controlling a reasonable gap, and pre-stretching. In-welding factors include at least one of the following: selecting an efficient welding method, optimizing welding process parameters, and optimizing the welding sequence.

[0092] In step 4, the sensitivity of each influencing factor to the deformation at the key location is determined, wherein the sensitivity is used to quantify the deformation control effect of each influencing factor.

[0093] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 4 may include: using a parametric scanning method to analyze the sensitivity of each factor to the maximum deformation at the key location.

[0094] In some embodiments of this disclosure, when the influencing factors are quantifiable factors, determining the sensitivity of each influencing factor to the deformation of the key position includes: for each influencing factor, taking the reduction in the maximum deformation of the key position caused by a unit change in the influencing factor as the sensitivity of the influencing factor.

[0095] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the quantification factors may include at least one of weld leg size, splice gap, and tooling constraints.

[0096] In some embodiments of this disclosure, for quantifiable factors, such as solder pad size, the deformation control effect of each factor is quantified by the reduction in maximum deformation at critical locations caused by a unit change (i.e., the reduction in maximum deformation at critical locations caused by a change in solder pad size per mm).

[0097] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 4 may include at least one of steps 41 to 42.

[0098] In step 41, for each discrete variable factor, the maximum deformation at the key location is determined when the discrete variable factor is a discrete variable, wherein each discrete variable factor includes at least one discrete variable.

[0099] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the discrete variable factors include at least one of welding method, welding sequence, and intermittent welding.

[0100] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the welding method may include two discrete variables: gas-shielded welding (the current welding method) and laser welding.

[0101] In some embodiments of this disclosure, intermittent welding may include two discrete variables: intermittent welding and not intermittent welding.

[0102] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the welding sequence may include four discrete variables: a bottom-up welding sequence; a top-down welding sequence; an inside-out welding sequence; and an outside-in welding sequence.

[0103] In step 42, based on the maximum deformation amount corresponding to each discrete variable, the maximum difference of the maximum deformation amount is determined, and the maximum difference is used as the sensitivity of the influencing factor.

[0104] In some embodiments of this disclosure, taking welding sequence as an example, the application process of the parametric scanning method is illustrated. Its main content is to fix the other influencing factors, change only the welding sequence of the model, record the welding deformation calculation, and calculate the sensitivity of the welding sequence by comparing the magnitude of welding deformation under different welding sequence schemes.

[0105] In some embodiments of this disclosure, for the welding sequence, step 4 may include at least one of steps 401 to 404.

[0106] In step 401, since the welding sequence is a discrete variable, four typical strategies are selected: Current approach: Based on the baseline value, the welding sequence is adopted from bottom to top; Option A: Use a top-down welding sequence; Option B: Adopt a welding sequence from the inside out; Option C: Adopt a welding sequence from the outside in.

[0107] In step 402, the maximum curve deformation results at the key locations were determined to be 78.7 mm, 78.19 mm, 78.74 mm, and 79.13 mm, respectively.

[0108] In step 403, since the welding sequence cannot be continuously quantified, the range method is used to evaluate its influence, as shown in formula (1).

[0109] Rseq=Dmax-Dmin=79.13-78.19=0.94mm (1)

[0110] In formula (1), Rseq refers to the sensitivity of the welding sequence, Dmax is the maximum welding deformation, and Dmin is the minimum welding sequence deformation.

[0111] The above-described embodiments of the present disclosure show that the different welding sequences of the housing result in low differences, indicating that this factor has a small impact.

[0112] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the sensitivity of each factor to welding deformation can also be analyzed, as shown in Table 2 and... Figure 6 As shown in Table 2, which is a schematic table illustrating the sensitivity of each influencing factor in some embodiments of this disclosure. Figure 6 This is a comparison diagram of welding deformation at key locations of box components under different influencing factors in some embodiments of this disclosure.

[0114] In step 5, a target deformation control scheme is determined based on the sensitivity of each influencing factor, wherein the target deformation control scheme includes at least one of the influencing factors.

[0115] In some embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 2 As shown, step 5 may include at least one of steps 51 to 52.

[0116] In step 51, the control efficiency of each influencing factor is determined based on the sensitivity of each influencing factor and the consumption value of each influencing factor, wherein the control efficiency can be a unit cost deformation control benefit index.

[0117] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 51 may include: calculating the unit cost deformation control benefit index for each factor.

[0121] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 52 may include: multi-factor impact analysis and quantitative assessment.

[0122] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 52 may include at least one of steps 521 to 523.

[0123] In step 521, the sensitivity of each influencing factor is normalized to determine the weight coefficient of each influencing factor.

[0124] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 521 may include: normalizing the sensitivity data calculated above according to formula (2) to construct weight coefficients.

[0125] (2)

[0126] In formula (2), n represents the analytical factors; in this example, n = 6. Let be the weight coefficient of the i-th factor. Let be the sensitivity of the i-th factor; Let be the sensitivity of the j-th factor.

[0127] In step 522, a weighted ranking table of influencing factors is constructed, as shown in Table 3; at the same time, a knowledge base is established to provide support for the selection of subsequent influencing factors.

[0128] Table 3

[0129] In step 523, a cost efficiency (control efficiency) evaluation model for each typical factor is established, the cost change of a single set of enclosures under each factor is calculated, and the results are ranked.

[0130] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the unit deformation cost is a multi-dimensional indicator that takes into account factors such as increased working hours and operational difficulty (such as reduced efficiency due to gap adjustment).

[0131] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 523 may include: a comprehensive evaluation of cost efficiency and effectiveness.

[0132] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 523 may include: based on the above calculation results, comprehensively considering implementation costs (equipment investment, increased working hours, material consumption), process complexity (operational difficulty, training costs), process reliability and stability, etc., establishing a cost efficiency evaluation model for each typical factor, calculating the cost change of a single set of enclosures under each factor, and ranking them, as shown in Table 4. Table 4 is a comparison table of enclosure component costs under different influencing factors in some embodiments of this disclosure.

[0133] Table 4

[0134] The notes in Table 4 indicate the reasons for the changes in unit deformation cost. Taking laser welding as an example, compared with the original solution, new equipment was invested and the equipment investment was large, which theoretically should have increased the unit deformation cost. However, due to the improvement of welding efficiency, the unit deformation cost will decrease.

[0141] In step 503, the target deformation control scheme is used to predict welding deformation and extract deformation data at key locations of the box-shaped components.

[0142] In step 504, it is determined whether the deformation data meets the design requirements of the box-shaped component. If the deformation data meets the design requirements of the box-shaped component, step 505 is executed; otherwise, if the deformation data does not meet the design requirements of the box-shaped component, step 506 is executed.

[0143] In step 505, the candidate deformation control scheme is selected as the target deformation control scheme.

[0144] In step 506, let N equal N+1; then, repeat the steps of taking the combination of the top N influencing factors in the sorted list as a candidate deformation control scheme, using the target deformation control scheme to predict welding deformation, extracting deformation data at key positions of the box component, and determining whether the deformation data meets the design requirements of the box component (i.e., repeat steps 501 to 504).

[0145] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 524 may include: firstly, selecting all high-priority and low-cost influencing factors as the basic solution, including laser welding, intermittent welding, and reduced weld leg size; combining the above three factors and performing deformation prediction, the welding deformation at the critical position is 12.79mm, and determining whether the deformation meets the drawing requirements; if it does not meet the drawing requirements, then adding the lowest unit deformation cost from the remaining factors with positive costs to supplement it, the selected factor being tooling constraints; repeating this process until the welding deformation at the critical position meets the requirements.

[0146] In step 6, the output control scheme is determined.

[0147] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 6 may include: outputting the final optimization scheme according to the above control logic.
