[0038] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] Without loss of generality, the frame rail (left) shown in the figure is taken as the description object in the present embodiment, and the specific scheme for automatically controlling the welding deformation is described in detail. It should be understood that the structure size and the like of different workpieces to be welded are determined according to the self-function design, and are not the contribution of the present application to the prior art, so the corresponding scheme of the automatically controlled welding deformation claimed by the present application does not constitute a substantial limitation.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , wherein the figure shows the overall structure of the frame rail according to the present embodiment, Figure 2The direction of the main welding deformation of the frame rail is shown. That is, the welding deformation in the direction of the figure +F is determined according to production experience, which is the main control direction of the straightening.

[0041] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 wherein, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the tooling for automatically controlling welding deformation described in the specific embodiment, Figure 4 is Figure 3 A view of.

[0042] It should be noted that the positioning of the parts of the tooling, the straightening position needs to be designed according to the structure of the product, the process, the welding deformation and so on, for example but not limited to the preferred example based on the frame rail in the figure. The tooling includes a tooling base 1, a servo drive part 2, a scale 3, a displacement sensor 4, a clamping cylinder 5, a clamping mechanism 6, a front end positioning mechanism 7 of the rail and a rear end positioning mechanism 8 of the rail; wherein the frame rail 9 to be processed is placed in the tooling clamp, and can be respectively positioned and fixed by the front end positioning mechanism 7 of the rail and the rear end positioning mechanism 8 of the rail. And on this basis, the corresponding straightening operation is performed.

[0043] The tooling is shown in combination with the data calculation and analysis system to form an automatic control welding deformation system.

[0044] Example one:

[0045] Please see Figure 5 , which shows the method flowchart of the automatic control welding deformation described in this embodiment. The working process of the automatic control method is as follows:

[0046] S01. For the product to be straightened, select the initial pre-shape variable and the straightening amount threshold.

[0047] Wherein, the product to be straightened refers to the vehicle type and the specific product to be welded of the vehicle type, which is the workpiece (frame rail) in this scheme, which can be determined by HMI (human-machine interface) and the initial pre-shape variable and the straightening amount threshold are selected. It should be understood that the straightening amount threshold is usually greater than the theoretical value, and after straightening and loosening the clamping, the workpiece rebounds and basically returns to the theoretical size.

[0048] S02. Self-checking.

[0049] Before performing the corresponding straightening operation, check whether each clamping mechanism has been opened and whether each servo drive part has returned to the work origin.

[0050] S03. Clamping the workpiece.

[0051] Place the frame rail on the tooling and clamp it after positioning.

[0052] S51. Perform the control of the post-weld straightening of the workpiece based on the preset threshold of the straightening amount.

[0053] The threshold of the straightening amount of each part is called from the database according to the vehicle type / product, and the servo driving part is controlled to straighten and hold the post-weld frame rail. Here, for the pre-weld deformation and post-weld straightening treatment of the workpiece to be processed, the selection of the specific treatment part can be determined according to different vehicle types / products.

[0054] S52. Data acquisition.

[0055] The current straightening deformation of the workpiece in the control process is collected for precision judgment, calculation of the straightening amount, fitting, and further improvement of the straightening database.

[0056] S53. Precision judgment.

[0057] Based on the product design requirements of the frame rail, the current workpiece after post-weld straightening control is determined to meet the precision requirements as the judgment condition, and it is confirmed whether the current workpiece is a qualified product. If yes, step S54 is executed; if no, step S55 is executed.

[0058] S54. Calculate the current straightening amount and update the database.

[0059] The current straightening amount is calculated according to the collected current straightening deformation, and the straightening amount threshold of the frame rail is updated with the current straightening amount.

[0060] That is, after straightening, it is necessary to detect whether the final frame rail reaches the precision standard. If it reaches the standard, the data is recorded and stored in the database as the basis data for the next call. If it cannot reach the standard, step S55 is executed.

[0061] S55. Adjust the straightening amount output by the clamping execution mechanism and repeat steps S51-S53.

[0062] Here, the "adjustment of the straightening amount output by the clamping execution mechanism" includes increasing or decreasing the straightening amount to adjust the straightening data, and collecting the corresponding current straightening deformation again until the current workpiece after post-weld straightening control meets the precision requirements, records the data, and is used to update the mathematical model.

[0063] It should be noted that the threshold and calculation model stored in the data storage unit in the present scheme are determined based on the correction experiment. During the correction debugging process, the displacement sensor 4 on the tooling continuously collects the deformation data of each frame rail 9, and through a certain number of correction experiments, for example but not limited to, a distribution algorithm is used.

[0064] Specifically, the calculation of the current straightening amount based on the current straightening deformation includes:

[0065] Determine the correction parameters and the first function relationship between the correction parameters and the sample data obtained from multiple correction experiments, wherein the sample data includes a correction deformation variable and a correction amount; and calculate the current correction amount according to the current correction deformation variable and the first function relationship.

[0066] Meanwhile, the preset correction amount threshold is also determined based on sample data obtained from multiple correction experiments. In this scheme, the initial correction parameters are obtained from correction experiments. A mathematical model is established using the initial data to obtain a function curve of the deformation variable and the correction parameter. In the subsequent production process, the data collected is substituted into the function to obtain the required correction amount data. That is, the system starts with a set of empirical values, and the subsequent correction amount threshold data is the optimal value after continuous fitting of the system.

[0067] This embodiment realizes the automatic control of the product to be corrected after welding, and can further add the automatic control of the pre-deformation before welding, which will be described in detail in the following implementation.

[0068] Embodiment Two:

[0069] Please refer to Figure 6 The figure shows the flow chart of the automatic control method of the welding deformation according to the embodiment. The working process of the automatic control method is as follows:

[0070] S01. Select the initial pre-deformation variable and the correction amount threshold for the product to be corrected.

[0071] The product to be corrected refers to the vehicle type and the specific product to be welded of the vehicle type, which is the workpiece (vehicle frame longitudinal beam) in this scheme. The initial pre-deformation variable and the correction amount threshold can be determined through HMI (human-machine interface). It should be understood that the correction amount threshold is usually greater than the theoretical value. After correction and release of clamping, the workpiece rebounds and basically returns to the theoretical size.

[0072] S02. Self-checking.

[0073] Before performing the corresponding correction operation, check whether each clamping mechanism has been opened and whether each servo drive component has returned to the working origin.

[0074] S03. Clamping the workpiece.

[0075] Place the vehicle frame longitudinal beam on the tooling, position it, and clamp it.

[0076] S61. Perform control of pre-deformation of the workpiece before welding based on the preset pre-deformation amount threshold.

[0077] According to the vehicle type / product, call the pre-deformation amount threshold of each part from the database to control the servo drive component to pre-deform the vehicle frame longitudinal beam to be welded.

[0078] S62. Welding processing, and holding.

[0079] S63. Data acquisition.

[0080] The current pre-deformation deformation of the workpiece in the control process is acquired for precision judgment, pre-deformation calculation and fitting, and further improvement of the pre-deformation database.

[0081] S64. Control of post-weld straightening of the workpiece based on the preset straightening amount threshold.

[0082] The straightening amount of each part is called from the database according to the vehicle type / product, and the servo driving part is controlled to straighten the post-weld frame side member and hold.

[0083] S65. Data acquisition.

[0084] The current straightening deformation of the workpiece in the control process is acquired for precision judgment, straightening amount calculation and fitting, and further improvement of the straightening database.

[0085] S66. Precision judgment.

[0086] Based on the product design requirements of the frame side member, the current workpiece after post-weld straightening control is judged to meet the precision requirements, and it is determined whether the current workpiece is a qualified product. If yes, step S67 is executed; if no, step S68 is executed.

[0087] S67. Calculate the current straightening amount and update the database.

[0088] The current straightening amount is calculated according to the acquired current straightening deformation, and the current pre-deformation amount is calculated according to the acquired current pre-deformation deformation, and the straightening amount threshold and the pre-deformation amount threshold of the frame side member are updated with the current straightening amount and the current pre-deformation amount, respectively.

[0089] That is, after straightening, it is necessary to detect whether the final frame side member reaches the precision standard. If it reaches the standard, the data is recorded and stored in the database as the basis data for the next call. If it cannot reach the standard, step S68 is executed.

[0090] S68. Adjust the straightening amount output by the clamping actuator, and repeat steps S64-S66.

[0091] It should be noted that the specific adjustment of the straightening amount and the determination of the corresponding threshold are the same as in Embodiment One, and therefore this scheme will not be described again.

[0092] The current pre-deformation variable is calculated according to the current pre-deformation deformation variable, including: determining a pre-deformation parameter and a second function relationship between the pre-deformation parameter and sample data obtained from a plurality of correction experiments; wherein the sample data further includes a pre-deformation deformation variable and a pre-deformation variable; and calculating the current pre-deformation variable according to the current pre-deformation deformation variable and the second function relationship.

[0093] Embodiment three:

[0096] The clamping execution mechanism is arranged on the tooling base 1. As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the clamping execution mechanism 71 includes a servo driving part 2, a clamping mechanism 6 and a clamping cylinder 5, wherein the clamping mechanism 6 is located above the frame longitudinal beam 9 (a workpiece to be processed), and the clamping cylinder 5 is located below the frame longitudinal beam 9, that is, the two are located on both sides of the workpiece to be processed.

[0097] In the scheme, the clamping mechanism 6 is used to limit the deformable variable of the frame longitudinal beam 9. Specifically, according to the control instruction output by the control unit 74, the clamping mechanism 6 can be driven by the servo driving part 2 to adjust the working position, so as to limit and determine the deformable variable of the frame longitudinal beam 9; correspondingly, according to the control instruction output by the control unit 74, the clamping cylinder 5 can output a clamping force to the tooling fixture, thereby realizing the correction operation.

[0098] Wherein, the acquisition unit 73 preferably adopts a displacement sensor 4 for acquiring the deformation variable of the corresponding part of the current workpiece and feeding back to the control unit 74 for accuracy judgment, correction amount calculation and fitting.

[0099] In addition, a scale 3 for observing the deformation is arranged on the tool base 1, and is used for observing the consistency between the adjustment amount and the set amount in the experience data statistics stage.

[0100] Based on the method for automatically controlling the welding deformation in the second embodiment, the clamping execution mechanism 71 is further used for outputting a pre-welding pre-deformation force to the tool clamp, the storage unit 72 is further used for storing a pre-set pre-deformation threshold, the acquisition unit 73 is further used for acquiring a current pre-deformation deformation of the workpiece in the control process, and the control unit 74 is further used for outputting a control instruction to a control end of the clamping execution mechanism according to the pre-set pre-deformation threshold; meanwhile, the control unit 74 further takes the current workpiece satisfying the accuracy requirement after the post-welding correction control as a judgment condition, calculates a current pre-deformation deformation according to the current pre-deformation deformation, and updates the pre-deformation threshold according to the current pre-deformation deformation.

[0101] It should be noted that the automatic control correction scheme is described in detail in the embodiment by taking the frame longitudinal beam as the description object, and the longitudinal beam front end positioning mechanism 7 and the longitudinal beam rear end positioning mechanism 8 shown in the figure are both adapted to the frame longitudinal beam 9. For other workpieces to be processed, the corresponding positioning mechanisms can be adaptively selected and replaced, and it can be understood that the positioning mechanism is not the core point of the application, and can be realized by the person skilled in the art based on the prior art, so the text will not be described again.

[0102] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be noted that for ordinary skilled in the art, several improvements and refinements can be made without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
