Description

Prefabricated steel structure welding data transmission system and method based on digital twin Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of steel structure building construction detection technology, and specifically to a prefabricated steel structure welding data transmission system and method based on digital twins. Background Art

[0002] In prefabricated steel structure buildings, in addition to bolting, welding is usually required for fixing steel components in areas where high connection stability is required to ensure reliable and stable connections between steel components.

[0003] In large prefabricated steel structures, welding processes are often performed at various locations throughout every floor. Due to the unique nature of welding, welding techniques and habits directly impact weld quality and weld leaks, often relying heavily on the welder's basic ethics. Therefore, to encourage welders to self-check welds after completion, weld points are located and numbered within the digital twin BIM model, and RFID tags are created for each number. The standard implementation procedure is: after a welding process is completed and a weld passes self-inspection, an RFID tag with the corresponding number is affixed 5 cm from the weld. This approach offers the advantage of enabling management personnel to quickly locate welds using a handheld RFID tag locator, allowing supervisors to quickly inspect the welds. Furthermore, since each welder receives a numbered RFID tag, the required weld point is already assigned before the RFID tag is assigned. This allows for easy identification of the specific individual responsible for any weld defects.

[0004] However, due to the large number of welds, both in high and low areas, this situation undoubtedly brings considerable trouble to supervisors. Among them, some high areas require supervisors to wear climbing equipment to climb up to the heights, and supervisors without experience in high-altitude construction also face safety risks. In addition, weld inspection also relies on vision and touch, which has judgment bias and may lead to misjudgment. Therefore, in order to avoid the above situation, it is necessary to set up a real-time transmission system and method for prefabricated steel structure welding data based on digital twins, which can automatically and in real time perform weld quality inspection on welds of prefabricated steel structure buildings and avoid misjudgment of weld quality, so as to meet actual needs.

[0012] In order to effectively transmit welding defect data to a computer in real time, the present invention provides a real-time transmission system for welding data of assembled steel structures based on digital twins. Preferably, the welding defect transmission module includes an image and array point information cache module, which is used to receive and store array feedback information uploaded by the ultrasonic array mechanism and image information uploaded by the camera. The image and array point information cache module are respectively connected to an array point coordinate establishment module and an image processing module for unidirectional transmission. The image processing module is used to process the clarity of the image, and the array point coordinate establishment module is used to establish the coordinates of the ultrasonic feedback array points. The processing module and the array point coordinate establishment module are both connected to the array point information and image quasi-weighting module, which is used to match and overlap the ultrasonic feedback array points with the image. The array point information and image quasi-weighting module is unidirectionally connected to the defect analysis module, which performs welding defect analysis by matching the overlapping image layers.

The result generation module is unidirectionally connected to the wireless editing module, which is used to wirelessly and remotely edit the welding defect results to each positioning node.

[0013] In order to perform defect analysis on the image layer, the defect analysis module performs defect analysis on the image layer in the following specific manner:

[0014] Based on the determined image layer and the relevant data of the ultrasonic feedback vibration point, a virtual model of the weld is generated;

[0015] Construct a set of parallel surfaces parallel to the base surface of the virtual model body, where the base surface is the flat surface inside the virtual model body;

[0017] The confirmed groups of vertical distances J i Perform variance processing, determine the variance value Fc, confirm the corresponding variance value Fc, and identify whether the variance value Fc meets the following conditions: Fc ≥ Y1, where Y1 is a preset value. If so, it means that the variance value Fc is too large and subsequent analysis is performed. If not, it means that the variance value Fc meets the standard and no processing is performed, indicating that the welding of this weld is qualified.

[0018] From the generated sets of vertical distances J i Determine the same distance zone and different distance zone within the vertical distance J iThe same area is marked as the same distance area, and the different distance areas are locked according to the corresponding same distance areas confirmed on the surface of the virtual model body, and the determined different distance areas are marked as welding line areas;

[0019] If there is only one set of calibrated welding line area: confirm the center point of the welding line area and construct a set of center lines passing through the center point. The center line is parallel to the welding direction. The welding direction is determined by the operator according to the diagram layer. Then construct several perpendicular lines perpendicular to and passing through the center line. The perpendicular lines conflict with the two sides of the welding line area. The perpendicular lines inside the welding line area are calibrated as the vertical lines to be checked. The length values ​​CDk of several vertical lines to be checked are obtained, where k represents different vertical lines to be checked. Then the maximum value CDk is determined from the several length values ​​CDk. max and the minimum CDk min , identify whether its length value satisfies (CDk max -CDk min )≥Y2, where Y2 is a preset value, and its specific value is determined by the operator based on experience. If it meets the requirement, it means that the internal width of the welding line area is greatly different, and the defective part is directly marked and displayed. If it does not meet the requirement, it means that the welding line area is correct and no marking is required;

[0020] If there are multiple groups of bond wire areas to be calibrated: confirm the area parameters of each group of different bond wire areas and calibrate them as MJ t , where t represents different wire bonding areas, and directly determines several different area parameters MJ t The mean of , and marked as JJ, will satisfy (MJ t -JJ)<Y3, the welding line area is marked as a defective part; if it is not satisfied, no mark is made, where Y3 is a preset value;

[0026] Through the drive control module, the drone can perform flight missions with the RFID tag positioning information as the positioning node, and can ensure that the welding area can be effectively captured by the ultrasonic array mechanism and camera; in addition, through the welding defect transmission module, the image pseudo-weight module is used to match and overlap the real-time processed image with the ultrasonic feedback array point with array point coordinate information, and the result generation module is used to mark the defective parts on the matched and overlapped images with array point coordinate information, and attach the continuous length data of the weld, the height difference data of adjacent array points and the length value of the missing weld, so as to avoid errors in weld quality inspection, and can effectively upload the defect conditions of each welding point to the computer for viewing, so as to avoid quality problems of steel structure buildings caused by errors of welding workers.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] A real-time data transmission system for welding of prefabricated steel structures based on digital twins includes a drone 1 for flying to a high point of the prefabricated steel structure. The drone 1 is equipped with an RFID tag location identifier 2 on top for identifying RFID tags attached to the edges of each weld. The drone 1 is equipped with an ultrasonic array mechanism 3 on the bottom for assisting in the measurement of weld defects. The drone 1 is also equipped with a camera 4 on the front for capturing images of each weld.

[0039] Among them, a drive control module is provided in the drone 1, which uses the RFID tag positioning information as the positioning node and establishes coordinates in the digital twin BIM model to form flight control of the drone 1. A welding defect transmission module is also provided in the drone 1, which combines the ultrasonic array point information with the image for analysis and remotely and automatically edits the analysis results to each positioning node.

[0040] The RFID tag location identifier 2 is used to detect the RFID tags at all welding locations and generate location information.

[0041] In the specific implementation process, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the ultrasonic array mechanism 3 includes a mounting box 301 fixed to the bottom of the drone 1 with bolts, a development board 302 fixed with screws is contained in the mounting box 301, a wire tube 303 is embedded on the right side of the mounting box 301, and a mounting panel 304 is fixed with screws at the right end of the wire tube 303, and an ultrasonic array board 305 for emitting an ultrasonic array and receiving a feedback array is embedded on the mounting panel 304.

[0042] More specifically, the model of the development board 302 is NVIDIA Nano NXTX2 AGX, and the development board 302 comes with a power module to power it. The ultrasonic probe on the ultrasonic array board 305 is connected in series to the signal receiving end of the development board 302 through a transmission line. The development board can centrally record the feedback ultrasonic array point information of the probe in each ultrasonic array board, and the wire tube is used to penetrate the transmission line.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] Referring to Figure 3, the drive and control module includes a storage module for storing the digital twin BIM model. The model storage module is unidirectionally connected to a path planning module that performs path planning based on the digital twin BIM model as the planning layout. The path planning module is unidirectionally connected to an automatic control and drive module that automatically executes the path planning plan and can control the flight of the drone 1. The circle in the figure can be understood as the digital twin BIM model calibrated by external personnel.

[0045] The RFID tag location identifier 2 detects the RFID tags at all welds and generates location information, which is stored in the digital twin BIM model to form a location node, effectively preventing the drone 1 from executing unnecessary flight routes. When the drone 1 reaches a weld, it extends its flight according to the weld extension in the digital twin BIM model to ensure that the weld area can be effectively captured by the ultrasonic array mechanism 3 and camera 4.

[0046] 1 , 2 , 3 and 4 , the automatic control and drive module is bidirectionally connected to the remaining path selection module; the remaining path selection module is used to store the remaining path of the drone 1 after it stops mid-flight, and to allow the automatic control and drive module to drive and control the remaining path planning of the drone 1 in a selected manner.

[0047] If the drone 1 automatically returns to the take-off point due to low battery, after charging is completed, it is connected to the automatic control and drive module through the computer to determine whether to execute the remaining path in the selected manner.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] As shown in Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4, the welding defect transmission module includes an image and array point information cache module, which is used to receive and store the array feedback information uploaded by the ultrasonic array mechanism 3 and the image information uploaded by the camera 4. The image and array point information cache modules are respectively connected to the array point coordinate establishment module and the image processing module in a unidirectional transmission manner. The image processing module is used to process the clarity of the image, and the array point coordinate establishment module is used to establish the coordinates of the ultrasonic feedback array points. The image processing module and the array point coordinate establishment module are both connected to the array point information and image quasi-weighting module. The array point information and image quasi-weighting module is used to match and overlap the ultrasonic feedback array points with the image. The array point information and image quasi-weighting module is unidirectionally connected to the defect analysis module. The defect analysis module performs welding defect analysis by matching the overlapping image layers. The defect analysis module is unidirectionally connected to the result generation module. The result generation module is used to mark the defect area and generate a defect array point map. The result generation module is unidirectionally connected to the wireless editing module. The wireless editing module is used to wirelessly and remotely edit the welding defect results to each positioning node.

[0050] Specifically, after the array feedback information uploaded by the ultrasonic array mechanism 3 and the image information uploaded by the camera 4 enter the image and array point information cache module in real time, they are processed separately. The array point coordinate establishment module establishes array point coordinates based on the ultrasonic feedback array points, with the goal of generating the corresponding real-time uploaded image layer. The image processing module is responsible for image clarity processing, which uses binarization and Gaussian filtering to reduce noise and enhance clarity in the real-time uploaded images. Next, the image quasi-reweighting module is used to match and overlap the real-time processed image with the ultrasonic feedback array points with array point coordinate information. This is done so that when the defect analysis module calculates the welding concave-convex value through the array point coordinate information, it can analyze whether the weld is continuous, whether the weld height meets the standard, and whether there is a missing weld in combination with the image situation, and can calculate the weld continuous length data, the height difference data of adjacent array points, and the missing weld length value. The result generation module is used to mark the defective part on the matched and overlapped image with array point coordinate information, and attach the weld continuous length data, the height difference data of adjacent array points, and the missing weld length value. Finally, the wireless editing module is used to highlight the defect data behind the RFID tag positioning node generated in the computer for easy viewing by the supervisor.

[0051] Specifically, the defect analysis module performs defect analysis on the image layer in the following manner:

[0052] Based on the determined image layer and the relevant data of the ultrasonic feedback vibration point, a virtual model of the weld is generated;

[0053] Construct a set of parallel surfaces parallel to the base surface of the virtual model body, where the base surface is the flat surface inside the virtual model body;

[0054] Identify several mapping points from the parallel plane, map the corresponding mapping points vertically on the surface of the virtual model, and obtain the vertical distance between the mapping point and the corresponding point of the virtual model, and calibrate the generated groups of vertical distances as J i , where i represents different mapping points. Specifically, a plane can be decomposed into several equally divided points. The points divided equally within the unit area are prepared in advance by the operator based on experience;

[0055] The confirmed groups of vertical distances J i Perform variance processing to determine the variance value Fc, where the specific method of obtaining the variance value is: where i = 1, 2, ..., n, first determine the mean of several groups of vertical distances and mark them as Jz, and use Confirm the corresponding variance value Fc and identify whether the variance value Fc satisfies: Fc ≥ Y1, where Y1 is a preset value, and its specific value is determined by the operator based on experience. If it satisfies, it means that the variance value Fc is too large and subsequent analysis is performed. If it does not meet the requirement, it means that the variance value Fc meets the standard and no treatment is performed, indicating that the welding of this weld is qualified.

[0056] From the generated sets of vertical distances J i Determine the same distance zone and different distance zone within the vertical distance J i The same area is marked as the same distance area, and the different distance areas are locked according to the corresponding same distance areas confirmed on the surface of the virtual model body, and the determined different distance areas are marked as welding line areas;

[0057] If there is only one set of calibrated welding line area: confirm the center point of the welding line area and construct a set of center lines passing through the center point. The center line is parallel to the welding direction. The welding direction is determined by the operator according to the diagram layer. Then construct several perpendicular lines perpendicular to and passing through the center line. The perpendicular lines conflict with the two sides of the welding line area. The perpendicular lines inside the welding line area are calibrated as the vertical lines to be checked. The length values ​​CDk of several vertical lines to be checked are obtained, where k represents different vertical lines to be checked. Then the maximum value CDk is determined from the several length values ​​CDk. max and the minimum CDk min , identify whether its length value satisfies: (CDk max -CDk min )≥Y2, where Y2 is a preset value, and its specific value is determined by the operator based on experience. If it meets the requirement, it means that the internal width of the welding line area is greatly different, and the defective part is directly marked and displayed. If it does not meet the requirement, it means that the welding line area is correct and no marking is required;

[0058] If there are multiple groups of bond wire areas to be calibrated: confirm the area parameters of each group of different bond wire areas and calibrate them as MJ t , where t represents different wire bonding areas, and directly determines several different area parameters MJ t The mean of , and marked as JJ, will satisfy (MJ t -JJ)<Y3 is marked as a defective part, where Y3 is a preset value, and its specific value is determined by the operator based on experience. If it is not satisfied, no marking is performed.

[0059] It should be noted that in order to facilitate remote viewing of the flight status of the drone 1 and the inspection status of the welding points, wireless mapping modules are set on the drive control module and the welding defect transmission module to generate the flight data of the drone 1 and the inspection data of each positioning node to the computer in real time, so as to facilitate temporary mediation and change of the control method.

[0060] In order to efficiently use the above-mentioned real-time transmission system for welding data of assembled steel structures based on digital twins, the present invention provides a method for using the real-time transmission system for welding data of assembled steel structures based on digital twins.

[0061] The following steps are involved:

[0062] Step S1: Set the take-off point of the drone 1 and store the digital twin BIM model in the drive control module;

[0063] The take-off point of UAV 1 needs to be set according to a fixed area on the digital twin BIM model corresponding to the actual steel structure building position on site. It can be the top of a steel column. When the digital twin BIM model is stored in the drive control module through a computer, the digital twin BIM model area corresponding to the actual placement point on site is set as the preset take-off point of the drive control module.

[0064] Step S2: running UAV 1;

[0065] Step S3: Check whether the drone 1 returns due to battery problems. If so, it will continue to execute after charging. After connecting to the automatic control and drive module through the computer, it is determined in a selected manner whether to execute the remaining path of the previous time.

[0066] The working principle of the real-time transmission system for welding data of assembled steel structures based on digital twins provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0067] Drive control module: The RFID tag positioning identifier 2 detects the RFID tags of all welding points to generate positioning information, which is stored in the digital twin BIM model to form a positioning node, thereby effectively preventing the drone 1 from executing redundant flight routes. After flying to the welding point, the drone 1 extends its flight according to the weld extension of the digital twin BIM model to ensure that the welding area can be effectively captured by the ultrasonic array mechanism 3 and the camera 4.

[0068] Welding defect transmission module: When the array feedback information uploaded by the ultrasonic array mechanism 3 and the image information uploaded by the camera 4 enter the image and array point information cache module in real time, the array point coordinate establishment module will form the array point coordinates of the ultrasonic feedback array points, and the image processing module is used to process the clarity of the image. Then, the image pseudo-weighting module is used to match and overlap the real-time processed image with the ultrasonic feedback array points with array point coordinate information. The result generation module is used to mark the defective parts on the matched and overlapped images with array point coordinate information, and attach the continuous length data of the weld, the height difference data of adjacent array points and the length value of the missing weld. Finally, the wireless editing module will highlight the above-mentioned defect data behind the RFID tag positioning node generated in the computer for the convenience of the supervisor to view.

[0069] The method for using the system is easy to operate and can continue to perform weld inspection work that has not been performed after charging.
