[0003] For sheet metal in this application, film spraying is a very effective method. Film spraying involves irradiating the metal's surface with a high-energy laser beam, converting the heat into rapid vaporization, thereby exposing the metal's underlying layers. This method effectively performs two processing steps on the sheet metal: first, film spraying the entire sheet, and then laser cutting.

[0004] In actual situations, most plates only have a thick metal corrosion layer in local areas or at the edges of the plates. In this case, spraying the entire plate is redundant and greatly reduces processing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0044] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in the specification of the application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application. The terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application or the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order.

[0045] References herein to "embodiments" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0046] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0047] Figure 1 A flow chart of a laser cutting control method according to an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, a laser cutting control method according to an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0049] S210: Obtaining the contour of the plate to be cut by laser cutting.

[0050] Among them, obtaining the contour of the sheet to be cut by laser cutting can be a method commonly used by those skilled in the art for obtaining the contour of the sheet to be cut by a laser cutting machine. For example, the contour to be cut for each cut can be determined by reading graphic information uploaded by the user to the laser cutting machine. Specifically, for example, if the graphic information to be cut includes multiple letters, each letter can be distinguished as a cutting contour, and the contour to be cut can be determined according to the order of the letters. For example, if the letters to be cut are "ABCDE", when "A" is cut or after "A" is cut, the contour to be cut is "B". Alternatively, the contour to be cut can be determined by reading code information uploaded by the user to the laser cutting machine.

[0051] In the embodiments of the present application, the contour to be cut by the laser can be a complete contour to be cut, or it can be one of the contours to be cut after a complete cutting contour is divided into multiple contours according to a preset rule. The complete cutting contour can be divided into multiple contours according to a preset rule, which can be divided according to a preset contour size or divided into equal areas according to a preset number of divisions.

[0052] In one example, a complete cutting contour of a cutting task is divided into multiple contours according to preset rules. When obtaining the contour to be cut by the laser, the first cutting contour can be obtained as the contour to be cut. Before the first cutting contour is cut, the second cutting contour can be obtained as the contour to be cut.

[0053] In one example, after obtaining the first cutting contour as the cutting contour to be cut, the second cutting contour, the third cutting contour, and finally the last cutting contour can be obtained at any time. In a specific practical application, the time nodes for obtaining subsequent cutting contours can be set according to the logical requirements of the time length.

[0054] S220: Acquire first process layer information corresponding to the contour to be cut.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the process layer may refer to the upper surface and / or side surface of the plate; based on the conditions of the upper surface and / or side surface of the plate, it is determined whether it is necessary to spray the film first and then cut when cutting the corresponding position of the plate.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, when the laser cuts according to the contour to be cut, the starting point of the cutting is first located; the laser cutting control device stores the contour position of the starting point in the cache. Corresponding to the starting point, the process layer of the contour to be cut can be obtained.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, the first process layer information corresponding to the contour to be cut can be obtained by image acquisition; various technical solutions that are known to ordinary technicians in this field now and in the future for obtaining the first process layer information corresponding to the contour to be cut can also be adopted, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

[0058] S230: Determine a cutting process for the contour to be cut according to the first process layer information.

[0059] For example, when the first process layer information indicates that the surface of the plate corresponding to the contour to be cut is rusty or corroded and needs to be sprayed first, it is determined that spraying is required before cutting when cutting the contour to be cut.

[0060] S240, controlling the laser to cut the plate according to the cutting process.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, when the cutting process requires spraying before cutting, specifically, the spraying process parameters are first called, and the laser is controlled to spray according to the spraying process parameters. After the spraying is completed, the laser cutting process parameters are called, and the laser is controlled to cut according to the cutting process parameters.

[0062] The spraying process parameters can be fixed preset parameters or fine-tuned based on the first process layer information. For example, if the first process layer information indicates that the surface of the sheet corresponding to the contour to be cut is severely rusted, the spraying process parameters can be adjusted.

[0063] In one example, the first process layer information may also include the thickness of the sheet corresponding to the contour to be cut, and whether spraying is required before cutting is determined based on the sheet thickness. For example, if the sheet thickness corresponding to the contour to be cut exceeds a preset threshold, the laser may be controlled to spray the sheet before cutting, thereby ensuring that the sheet thickness after laser cutting meets the requirements.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, during the laser cutting process, the cutting process can be determined according to the specific conditions of the plate. Specifically, during the cutting process, the cutting process can be determined for each contour to be cut, and the local spraying process of the plate can be automatically realized, while improving the efficiency of laser cutting.

[0065] In one embodiment, step S230 includes:

[0066] A cutting request is obtained, where the cutting request includes whether to perform smart cutting.

[0067] When a user needs to use a laser cutting machine to cut a plate, he or she sends a cutting request to request the laser cutting machine to cut the plate.

[0068] In an exemplary application scenario, the user can determine based on subjective experience whether the plate to be cut requires local film spraying. If local film spraying is required, the user can determine to use the intelligent cutting method to cut the plate when a cutting request occurs.

[0069] In a case where the cutting request is to perform intelligent cutting, the cutting process of the contour to be cut is determined according to the first process layer information.

[0070] If the first process layer information indicates that the surface of the plate corresponding to the contour to be cut is rusted or corroded and requires prior film spraying, it is determined that the contour to be cut needs to be sprayed before cutting. If the first process layer information indicates that the surface of the plate corresponding to the contour to be cut is not rusted or has minimal rust, it is determined that the contour to be cut does not require film spraying and the plate is directly cut according to the contour to be cut.

[0071] In a case where the cutting request is not to perform intelligent cutting, it is determined that the cutting process of the contour to be cut is a conventional cutting process.

[0072] The conventional cutting process may refer to controlling the laser to cut the plate according to the contour to be cut without performing the film spraying operation. It may also refer to first spraying the entire plate and then cutting the entire plate according to the contour to be cut.

[0073] In an exemplary application scenario, the user can determine based on subjective experience whether the plate to be cut requires global or local film spraying. If neither global or local film spraying is required, the user can determine that intelligent cutting is not required when a cutting request is made.

[0074] In this embodiment of the present application, the user can select whether to perform intelligent cutting based on their actual needs. If the user determines that spray coating is not necessary based on the surface condition of the plate or the processing requirements, a direct cutting process can be selected. Determining whether intelligent cutting is required based on the user's cutting request can reduce the data processing process of the laser cutting machine and further improve the efficiency of laser cutting.

[0075] In one embodiment, step S230 includes:

[0076] Obtain global second process layer information of the plate.

[0077] In the embodiments of the present application, the global second process layer information of the plate refers to the process layer information of the entire plate. This second process layer information allows for a comprehensive assessment of the plate's condition. This allows for situations where the entire surface of the plate is rusty or corroded and requires spraying, allowing the entire plate to be sprayed first and then cut according to the desired contour. This reduces the data processing required by the laser cutting machine and improves laser cutting efficiency.

[0078] According to the second process layer information, it is determined that the process for cutting the plate is spraying first and then cutting, conventional cutting, or intelligent cutting.

[0079] In one example, if the entire surface of a plate is rusted or corroded and requires spraying, the entire plate is sprayed first, and then the entire plate is cut according to the desired contour. If only a portion of the plate is rusted, smart cutting is performed. If the entire surface of the plate is relatively rust-free, cutting is performed directly according to the desired contour.

[0080] When it is determined that the process for cutting the plate is intelligent cutting, the cutting process for the contour to be cut is determined according to the first process layer information.

[0081] If the first process layer information indicates that the surface of the plate corresponding to the contour to be cut is rusted or corroded and requires prior film spraying, it is determined that the contour to be cut needs to be sprayed before cutting. If the first process layer information indicates that the surface of the plate corresponding to the contour to be cut is not rusted or has minimal rust, it is determined that the contour to be cut does not require film spraying and the plate is directly cut according to the contour to be cut.

[0082] In this embodiment of the present application, the second process layer information can be used to determine whether to perform intelligent cutting. If the second process layer information determines that film spraying is not required, a direct cutting process can be selected. By determining whether to perform intelligent cutting based on the second process layer information, user information input can be reduced, and the cutting process of the entire plate can be intelligently determined, making the laser cutting machine more intelligent and improving the user experience of the laser cutting machine.

[0083] In one embodiment, the second process layer information includes a proportion of contours that require spraying before cutting;

[0084] The determining, based on the second process layer information, whether the process for cutting the plate is spraying before cutting, conventional cutting, or intelligent cutting includes:

[0085] Comparing the contour ratio with a first preset threshold and a second preset threshold;

[0086] When the contour ratio is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold, determining that the process for cutting the plate is to spray film first and then cut;

[0087] When the contour ratio is less than a first preset threshold and greater than a second preset threshold, determining that the process of cutting the plate is intelligent cutting;

[0088] When the contour ratio is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, it is determined that the process of cutting the plate is conventional cutting.

[0089] This embodiment of the present application uses a preset threshold to determine whether the cutting process for the plate is spray-coating first, then cutting, conventional cutting, or intelligent cutting. For example, if the first preset threshold is 75% and the second process layer information shows that the proportion of contours requiring spray-coating first, then cutting exceeds 75% of the total plate contour, the plate cutting process is determined to be spray-coating the entire plate first, then cutting the entire plate according to the contour to be cut.

[0090] For another example, the first preset threshold is 75%; the second preset threshold is 7%; in the second process layer information, the proportion of contours that need to be sprayed before cutting accounts for 20% of the entire plate contour, then the cutting process of the plate is judged to be intelligent cutting. By obtaining the first process layer information of the contour to be cut during the cutting process, the cutting process of the contour to be cut is judged respectively, and each contour to be cut is cut one by one according to the cutting process of each contour to be cut.

[0091] For another example, the first preset threshold is 75%; the second preset threshold is 7%; in the second process layer information, the proportion of contours that need to be sprayed before cutting accounts for 4% of the entire plate contour, then the cutting process of the plate is judged to be conventional cutting, that is, the plate does not need to be sprayed, and can be cut directly according to the cutting contour.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present application, by comparing the contour ratio parameter with the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold, the cutting process of the plate can be intelligently determined, thereby improving the intelligence level of the laser cutting machine.

[0093] In one embodiment, step S230 includes:

[0094] The first process layer information includes whether the contour to be cut requires spraying.

[0095] In the case that the contour to be cut requires spraying, the cutting process of the contour to be cut is determined to be spraying first and then cutting.

[0096] The first process layer information can be obtained by acquiring a surface image of the contour to be cut through image acquisition, and then obtaining information about the process layer corresponding to the contour to be cut through image processing methods. If the first process layer information indicates that the surface of the plate corresponding to the contour to be cut has rust or corrosion, and if the rust or corrosion requires prior film spraying, it is determined that the contour to be cut requires prior film spraying.

[0097] In one embodiment, step S240 includes:

[0098] In the case where the cutting of the plate is interrupted, obtaining the cutting state before the interruption occurs; the cutting state includes spraying or cutting;

[0099] According to the cutting state, the cutting process after restarting the cutting is determined; wherein,

[0100] In the case where the cutting state is film spraying, after it is determined to restart cutting, film spraying is completed from the breakpoint before cutting.

[0101] The embodiment of the present application obtains the cutting state before the interruption, and can continue the cutting state before the interruption from the breakpoint after restarting the cutting, thereby realizing breakpoint recovery, avoiding repeated film spraying or repeated cutting, and further improving the efficiency of laser cutting.

[0102] In one example, when the cutting state before the interruption is cutting, after it is determined to restart the cutting, the cutting is continued from the breakpoint to avoid repeated film spraying.

[0103] In one example, it is possible to set the moment when an unexpected alarm or an unexpected interruption occurs, and store the current working status of the laser cutting machine in a cache so that the data before the interruption can be obtained after the laser cutting machine is restarted.

[0104] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that all or part of the processes in the above-described method embodiments can be implemented by instructing the relevant hardware through a computer program. The computer program can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium. When executed, the program can include the processes in the above-described method embodiments. The aforementioned storage medium can be a non-volatile storage medium such as a magnetic disk, an optical disk, a read-only memory (ROM), or a random access memory (RAM).

Unless otherwise specified herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and they can be executed in other orders.
