Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] With the rapid development of metal processing technology, laser processing method gradually replaces the conventional machining method with the advantages of high efficiency, high precision, low cost, etc. At present, it has been effectively witnessed in heavy industry, shipbuilding industry, metal container industry and military industry, but in the processing of super-thick plate in the shipbuilding industry, it encounters the bottleneck of being cuttable but not perforable, which leads to the fact that laser cutting cannot develop in the field of super-thick plate.

[0003] It is well known that in the field of laser cutting, the most widely used is thin plate high-speed and high-precision cutting, and 20mm-50mm medium-thick plate cutting, but it cannot be realized when processing 60mm-90mm super-thick plate. It is known that in order to ensure that the entire part is cut off, the perforation of the plate must be completed first, and a through hole is realized at the perforation position, so that the light beam can completely pass through the plate, thereby meeting the starting requirement of laser cutting. When the plate is too thick, it is easy to appear that the perforation cannot penetrate, the slag accumulation is too thick, and the hole explosion phenomenon occurs, which leads to the fact that the super-thick plate cannot be cut, and the processing of the super-thick plate becomes a blind area in the field of laser cutting. In recent years, with the gradual increase of the upper limit of laser power, the laser cutting of super-thick plate has become a big problem in the field of laser cutting, and has also attracted the attention of the metal processing industry.

[0095] The first-stage perforation frequency is greater than or equal to 1000 Hz, the first-stage perforation duty cycle is greater than or equal to 80%, and the first-stage focus is greater than or equal to 5 mm;

[0096] The initial value of the first-stage perforation height is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the thickness of the plate to be processed;

[0097] After the first-stage perforation is completed, the depth of the pit formed in the plate to be processed is 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 of the thickness of the plate to be processed, and the width of the pit is 1 / 12 to 1 / 10 of the thickness of the plate to be processed.

[0109] Example Two

[0110] The execution subject of the method of the present embodiment is a numerical control system, which has an operation interface, and a user can input control parameters and dynamic change equations of each stage based on the operation interface. In combination with the above-mentioned perforation process, the numerical control system can control the perforation process of the ultra-thick plate. Figures 2 to 5 The method is described below.

[0111] The laser perforation processing method for the ultra-thick plate in the present embodiment can include the following steps:

[0112] 201. Set the perforation parameters in different perforation states of each stage on the operation interface of the numerical control system.

[0113] In the present embodiment, the first position of the cutting head after initialization is set as the perforation height (such as a height h) of the first stage, the perforation parameters are set, and the perforation process is set to be completed within the total time T (T=t1+t2+t3). The perforation parameters set at this time are the first stage perforation parameters, which include perforation time, frequency, duty cycle, power, and focal point parameters, and the focal point value of the first stage is set as positive defocus.

[0114] The distance of the cutting head to the surface of the ultra-thick plate is the perforation height, and the perforation parameters in the first stage are static and do not change, and static piercing is performed according to these parameters.

[0115] 202、the numerical control system performs the piercing according to the control parameters of the first stage, and when the piercing reaches the termination condition of the first stage, the numerical control system controls the cutting head to stop the piercing and adjusts the control parameters of the cutting head to the initial values of the control parameters of the second stage;

[0116] After the first stage of piercing is completed, the cutting head is moved from the first stage piercing height to the second stage piercing height, and the second stage of piercing is performed on the super-thick plate according to the second stage piercing parameters, and the initial value and the termination value of the focus in the second stage piercing parameters are both negative defocus.

[0117] During the second stage piercing time, the piercing frequency is from medium to low, the piercing duty cycle is from low to medium, and the piercing focus gradually moves negatively, wherein the change rates of the focus, the frequency and the duty cycle are different.

[0118] 203、the numerical control system performs the piercing according to the control parameters of the second stage, and when the piercing reaches the termination condition of the second stage, the numerical control system controls the cutting head to stop the piercing and adjusts the control parameters of the cutting head to the initial values of the control parameters of the third stage;

[0119] That is, after the second stage of piercing is completed, the cutting head is moved from the second stage piercing height to the third stage piercing height, and the third stage of piercing is performed on the super-thick plate according to the third stage piercing parameters, and the initial value and the termination value of the focus in the third stage piercing parameters are both negative defocus, and during the third stage piercing time, wherein the piercing frequency is from ultra-low to low, the piercing duty cycle is from low to ultra-low, and the piercing focus gradually moves negatively, wherein the change rates of the focus, the frequency and the duty cycle are different.

[0120] 204、the numerical control system performs the piercing according to the control parameters of the third stage, and when the plate to be processed is penetrated, the piercing is stopped according to the feedback information of the plate penetration feedback device.

[0121] In the embodiment, the perforating process is divided into three stages, the last two stages adopt dynamic curve frequency conversion, dynamic curve duty cycle variation and linear dynamic zooming, the initial value and the terminal value of the duty cycle in the first stage perforating parameters are greater than the initial value and the terminal value of the duty cycle in the second stage and the third stage perforating parameters, the frequency in the first stage perforating parameters is greater than the initial value and the terminal value of the frequency in the second stage and the third stage perforating parameters, wherein the first stage perforating frequency F1 is not less than 1000 Hz (preferably 1000 Hz), the first stage duty cycle D1 is not less than 80% (for example, 80%), the first stage focus value f1 is not less than +5 mm (for example, +5 mm), the second stage frequency initial value F2 is not higher than 400 Hz (for example, 400 Hz), the second stage frequency terminal value F2' is not less than 200 Hz (for example, 200 Hz), the second stage duty cycle initial value D2 is not less than 40% (for example, 40%), the second stage duty cycle terminal value D2' is not higher than 60% (for example, 60%), the second stage focus initial value f2 is not greater than-10 mm (for example, -10 mm), the second stage focus terminal value f2' is not less than-17 mm (for example, -17 mm), wherein the third stage frequency initial value F3 is not less than 20 Hz (for example, 20 Hz), the third stage frequency terminal value F3' is not higher than 100 Hz (for example, 100 Hz), the third stage duty cycle initial value D3 is not higher than 40% (for example, 40%), the third stage duty cycle terminal value D3' is not less than 20% (for example, 20%), the third stage focus initial value f3 is not higher than-15 mm (for example, -15 mm), the third stage focus terminal value f3' is not less than-25 mm (for example, -25 mm), wherein the perforating time of the three stages is respectively t1, t2 and t3, and the total time T=t1+t2+t3.

[0122] The state of the duty cycle and the frequency in the embodiment can be divided into three kinds, the first kind is static high duty cycle, high frequency and positive focus, the second kind is low duty cycle to high duty cycle with medium frequency to low frequency curve and linear negative defocus dynamic change, and the third kind is low duty cycle to ultra-low duty cycle with ultra-low frequency to low frequency curve and linear negative defocus dynamic change, which realizes the perforation of the super-thick plate, and the specific implementation is as follows:

[0123] (1) Static high duty cycle, high frequency and positive defocus

[0124] In the perforating process, A1) the frequency in the first stage (i.e. time t1) is set to 1000 Hz, the duty cycle is set to 80%, and the focus is set to +5 mm, and the plate is perforated statically.

[0125] (2) Low duty cycle to medium duty cycle with medium frequency to low frequency and linear negative defocusing dynamic change

[0126] During the drilling process, A2) in the second stage of drilling, the change of duty cycle: the duty cycle of the laser beam is set to 40% at the beginning of the second stage (i.e. time t2) and 60% at the end, and the real-time duty cycle value during time t2 is: where Δt is the time consumed after the start of the second stage drilling, t2 is the set time period; d(t) is the output duty cycle value at a certain time in the second stage;

[0127] The frequency of the laser beam is set to 400 Hz at the beginning of the second stage and 200 Hz at the end, and the real-time frequency value during time period t2 is: t2 is the set time period;

[0128] The focal point of the laser beam is set to -10 mm at the beginning of the second stage and -17 mm at the end, and the real-time focal point is: t2 is the set time period;

[0129] In the above formulas, the parameters are as follows:

[0130] d(t) is the output duty cycle value at a certain time in the second stage, D2' is the set end duty cycle value in the second stage, D2 is the set start duty cycle value in the second stage, t2 is the set drilling time in the second stage, F(t) is the output frequency value at a certain time in the second stage, F2' is the set end frequency value in the second stage, F2 is the set start frequency value in the second stage, t2 is the set drilling time in the second stage, and t is the drilling time consumed from the start of the second stage to the current time.

[0131] During the drilling process in the second stage, the duty cycle increases in a sinusoidal function curve with an acceleration of d'(t)% / ms 2 , the frequency decreases in a sinusoidal function curve with an acceleration of F'(t) Hz / ms 2 , and the focal point decreases linearly with an acceleration of f'(t) mm / ms 2 .

[0132] Table 1 is the data for low duty cycle to high duty cycle with medium frequency to low frequency and linear negative defocusing dynamic change:

[0133]

[0134] Based on the above, in the second stage of the perforation process, by complementary state of laser beam duty cycle and beam frequency at different times, the problem of excessive accumulation of slag during the perforation process can be solved, and at different acceleration states, the problem of burst hole caused by excessive accumulated energy per unit time can be prevented. With the gradual downward movement of the focal point with the increase of the perforation time, the perforation depth is sufficient and stable.

[0135] (3) Low duty cycle to ultra-low duty cycle with ultra-low frequency to low frequency and linear negative defocusing dynamic change;

[0136] During the perforation process, A3) In the third stage of perforation, the change of duty cycle: the initial value of the duty cycle of the laser beam in the third stage (i.e. time t3) is set to 40%, and the terminal value is set to 20%, and the real-time duty cycle value in time t3 is: Where Δt is the time consumed after the start of the third stage of perforation, the frequency of the laser beam in the third stage is set to 20Hz at the initial value, and set to 100Hz at the terminal value, and the real-time frequency value in time t3 is: The focal point of the laser beam is set to -15mm at the initial value in the third stage, and set to -25mm at the terminal value, and the real-time focal point is: During the third stage of perforation, the duty cycle decreases with a sinusoidal function curve with an acceleration of d'(t) % / ms 2 The frequency increases with a sinusoidal function curve with an acceleration of F'(t) Hz / ms 2 The focal point decreases linearly with an acceleration of f'(t) mm / ms 2 .

[0137] d(t) is the output duty cycle value at a certain time in the third stage, D3' is the set terminal duty cycle value in the third stage, D3 is the set initial duty cycle value in the third stage, t3 is the set third stage perforation time, F(t) is the output frequency value at a certain time in the third stage, F3' is the set terminal frequency value in the third stage, F3 is the set initial frequency value in the third stage, t3 is the set third stage perforation time, and t is the perforation time consumed from the beginning of the third stage to the current time.

[0138] Table 2 is the data of low duty cycle to ultra-low duty cycle with ultra-low frequency to low frequency and linear negative defocusing dynamic change. Table 2:

[0139]

[0140] Based on the above, in the third stage of the piercing process, in order to ensure that the slag is ejected from the hole during the piercing process and that the slag is solidified and the inner surface of the hole is as little as possible, by controlling the laser beam in the point frequency state, the metal inside the hole is still melted, and at the same time, with the increase of the piercing time, the light output duty cycle gradually decreases, which ensures that the piercing process in the third stage will not cause a burst hole due to the high real-time state energy, and at the same time, the focus gradually moves downward with the increase of the piercing time, which ensures that the super-thick plate material completes the penetration during the piercing process.

[0141] The above-mentioned laser piercing processing method of the super-thick plate can realize stable and non-burst hole of the super-thick plate, and is beneficial to the cutting of the thick plate. The traditional piercing method cannot complete the piercing of the super-thick plate, and the real-time energy is too high during the piercing process, which easily leads to the burning of the protective mirror and the accumulation of the piercing slag.

[0142] In summary, the laser piercing processing method provided by the embodiment has the following advantages: during the piercing process, the sine curve dynamic variable duty cycle, variable frequency and linear variable focus method are used, mainly referring to the low duty cycle to medium duty cycle in the second stage of piercing, medium frequency to low frequency, linear negative defocusing dynamic change and low duty cycle to ultra-low duty cycle in the third stage, ultra-low frequency to low frequency and linear negative defocusing dynamic change, which can realize the piercing of the super-thick plate, and ensure that the plate is penetrated without burst hole phenomenon.
