TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of welding processing, and particularly relates to a welding intelligent control method for multi-strand pure aluminum flat wire induction brazing. BACKGROUND
[0002] Brazing is to use a metal with a lower melting point than the base material as a filler metal, heat and melt the filler metal, and then use the liquid filler metal to wet the base material, fill the joint gap and diffuse with the base material, so as to connect the welding parts together. When the brazing operation is completed, the liquid filler metal will gradually cool down to realize solidification connection with the base material. However, due to the influence of whether the liquid filler metal completely fills the joint gap and the cooling and solidification speed of the liquid filler metal itself, cracks will inevitably appear in the brazing area where the filler metal is located. The number and distribution of cracks will directly affect the mechanical strength of the brazing area. Generally speaking, the more cracks or the more widely distributed, the worse the mechanical strength of the brazing area, at which time the brazing area needs to be brazed again to eliminate the original crack defects. The existing technology usually judges whether to continue brazing according to the brazing experience and visual results of the operator, which not only reduces the quality of brazing and increases the workload of brazing operation, but also cannot accurately eliminate the crack defects and reduce the connection stability of brazing.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 The application provides a flowchart of a welding intelligent control method for multi-strand pure aluminum flat wire induction brazing. The welding intelligent control method for multi-strand pure aluminum flat wire induction brazing comprises the following steps:
[0046] In step S1, infrared images of brazing areas of multi-strand pure aluminum flat wires after completion of current brazing operation are collected, the infrared images of the brazing areas are analyzed, temperature attribute information of the brazing areas is obtained, and a temperature state atlas of the brazing areas is generated according to the temperature attribute information.
[0047] In step S2, visible light images of the brazing areas of the multi-strand pure aluminum flat wires after completion of the current brazing operation are collected, the visible light images of the brazing areas are analyzed, crack feature information of the brazing areas is obtained, and a crack state atlas of the brazing areas is generated according to the crack feature information.
[0048] In step S3, the temperature state atlas and the crack state atlas are associated, whether the brazing areas are allowed to continue brazing operation currently is judged, if yes, an operation position for continuing brazing operation is determined according to the temperature state atlas and the crack state atlas.
[0049] In step S4, operation process images of the brazing operation are collected, the operation process images are analyzed, and the operation state of the brazing operation is adjusted.
[0050] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: the welding intelligent control method for the multi-strand pure aluminum flat wire induction brazing respectively carries out infrared and visible light shooting on the brazing area of the multi-strand pure aluminum flat wire which completes the current brazing operation, analyzes the obtained brazing area infrared image and visible light image, generates the temperature state atlas and the crack state atlas of the brazing area, and accurately calibrates the brazing filler metal temperature distribution and the surface crack distribution of the brazing area; the temperature state atlas and the crack state atlas are associated to determine the relationship between the brazing filler metal temperature and the surface crack in the brazing area, to judge whether the brazing needs to be continued to eliminate the original crack, and to calibrate the operation position of the continued brazing operation to ensure that the subsequent brazing filler metal filling and effective brazing filler metal saving are accurate; the operation process image of the continued brazing operation is also analyzed to adjust the operation state of the brazing operation to ensure the reliability of the continued brazing operation and improve the brazing quality of the multi-strand pure aluminum flat wire.
[0051] Preferably, in the step S1, the brazing area infrared image of the multi-strand pure aluminum flat wire which completes the current brazing operation is collected, and the brazing area infrared image is analyzed to obtain the temperature attribute information of the brazing area, including:
[0052] When the multi-strand pure aluminum flat wire completes the current brazing operation, the brazing area for infrared shooting of the multi-strand pure aluminum flat wire is calibrated in the three-dimensional space based on the brazing filler metal coverage range formed by the current brazing operation; the brazing area is thermally imaged to obtain the brazing area thermal infrared image;
[0053] The brazing area thermal infrared image is analyzed to obtain the temperature field distribution attribute information of the brazing area; wherein the temperature field distribution attribute information includes the isotherm distribution information of the surface of the brazing area.
[0054] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: since the brazing filler metal used for brazing is completely different from the material of the pure aluminum flat wire, when the multi-strand pure aluminum flat wire completes the brazing operation, there is a clear visual difference (such as color difference, etc.) between the brazing filler metal covered on the surface of the pure aluminum flat wire and the surface of the pure aluminum flat wire. According to the visual difference, the brazing filler metal coverage range formed by the current brazing operation can be accurately determined, and the brazing area for infrared shooting of the multi-strand pure aluminum flat wire is calibrated in the three-dimensional space based on the boundary of the brazing filler metal coverage range, which is convenient for subsequent alignment shooting of the brazing area by the thermal infrared camera to ensure the comprehensiveness of the brazing area thermal infrared image. The temperature of the brazing area thermal infrared image is identified to determine the isotherm distribution information of the surface where the brazing area is located. The isotherm distribution information refers to the isotherm distribution of the surface where the brazing area is located corresponding to different temperature values.
[0055] Preferably, in the step S1, according to the temperature attribute information, the temperature state atlas of the brazing area is generated, including:
[0056] mapping the isotherm distribution information contained in the temperature field distribution attribute information into a plane coordinate system corresponding to the surface of the brazing area, obtaining position information of all isotherms on the surface of the brazing area, and constructing a correlation map between the temperature value of each isotherm and the corresponding position information thereof, thereby taking the correlation map as a temperature state map of the brazing area.
[0057] The above technical solution has the beneficial effects that: the isotherm distribution information is mapped into a plane coordinate system corresponding to the surface of the brazing area, so that the extension and distribution position of each isotherm on the surface of the brazing area are also determined accordingly. At this time, the correlation map between the temperature value of each isotherm and the corresponding position information thereof is constructed, which can ensure that the temperature value to which the different positions on the surface of the brazing area belong can be accurately determined from the correlation map, and the temperature change of the brazing filler metal of the brazing area can be accurately calibrated.
[0058] Preferably, in the step S2, visible light images of the brazing area of the plurality of pure aluminum flat wires after the completion of the current brazing operation are collected, and the visible light images of the brazing area are analyzed to obtain crack feature information of the brazing area, including:
[0059] When the plurality of pure aluminum flat wires completes the current brazing operation, the brazing area of the plurality of pure aluminum flat wires for visible light shooting is calibrated in the three-dimensional space based on the brazing filler metal coverage range formed by the current brazing operation; the visible light imaging of the brazing area is performed to obtain the visible light image of the brazing area.
[0060] The pixel texture recognition processing is performed on the visible light image of the brazing area to obtain the crack feature information of the brazing area; wherein the crack feature information includes the crack shape and size information of the brazing surface.
[0061] The above technical solution has the beneficial effects that: since the brazing filler metal used for brazing is completely different from the material of the pure aluminum flat wire, there is an obvious visual difference (such as color difference, etc.) between the brazing filler metal covering the surface of the pure aluminum flat wire and the surface of the pure aluminum flat wire after the completion of the brazing operation on the plurality of pure aluminum flat wires. According to the visual difference, the brazing filler metal coverage range formed by the current brazing operation can be accurately determined, and the boundary of the brazing filler metal coverage range is taken as the reference to calibrate the brazing area of the plurality of pure aluminum flat wires for visible light shooting in the three-dimensional space, which facilitates the subsequent alignment shooting of the brazing area by the thermal infrared camera, and ensures the comprehensiveness of the visible light image of the brazing area. When there is a crack on the surface of the brazing area, the pixel texture at the position of the crack will be different from the pixel texture at other positions without cracks, and the shape and size (such as length and width, etc.) of the crack will also affect the corresponding pixel texture pattern. The pixel texture recognition processing performed on the visible light image of the brazing area can accurately extract the crack feature information of the surface of the brazing area, and quantitatively represent the existence state of the crack.
[0062] Preferably, in the step S2, according to the crack feature information, a crack state atlas of the brazing area is generated, including:
[0063] The crack shape and size information contained in the crack feature information is mapped into the plane coordinate system corresponding to the surface of the brazing area to obtain the position information of each crack on the surface of the brazing area, and a correlation atlas between the shape and size of each crack and the corresponding position information is constructed, which is taken as the crack state atlas of the brazing area.
[0064] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: the crack shape and size information contained in the crack feature information is mapped into the plane coordinate system corresponding to the surface of the brazing area, the existing position and occupied range (such as length and width) of each crack on the surface of the brazing area are also determined, and at this time, the correlation atlas between the shape and size of each crack and the corresponding position information is constructed, which can ensure that the number of crack distribution, distribution density and crack occupied area of the brazing surface area can be accurately determined from the correlation atlas, and the crack distribution of the brazing area is accurately calibrated.
[0065] Preferably, in the step S3, the temperature state atlas and the crack state atlas are associated and processed to determine whether the brazing operation of the brazing area is currently allowed to continue, including:
[0066] The temperature state atlas and the crack state atlas are simultaneously mapped into the surface space corresponding to the brazing area to obtain the existence state information of the cracks in the region between two adjacent isotherms in the brazing area; wherein the existence state information includes the total number of cracks, the total area occupied by the cracks and the crack distribution density;
[0067] According to the existence state information, it is determined whether the brazing operation of the brazing area is currently allowed to continue.
[0068] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: the temperature state atlas and the crack state atlas are uniformly mapped into the surface space corresponding to the brazing area, so that the temperature distribution and the crack distribution of the brazing area can be determined at the same time in the same surface space, so as to further obtain the existence state information of the cracks in the region between two adjacent isotherms in the brazing area. And when the total number of cracks in the existence state information is greater than a preset number threshold, or the total area occupied by the cracks is greater than a preset area threshold, or the crack distribution density is greater than a preset density threshold, it indicates that there are many cracks on the surface of the brazing area, and secondary brazing is needed to fill and flatten the cracks. At this time, it is determined that the brazing operation of the brazing area is currently allowed to continue; otherwise, it is determined that the brazing operation of the brazing area is currently not allowed to continue.
[0069] Preferably, in this step S3, according to the existence state information, it is judged whether the brazing operation can be continued in the current brazing area or not, including:
[0070] In step S301, according to the total number of cracks in the brazing area, the crack area in the existence state information, the weighted average crack area and the maximum crack area in the brazing area are obtained by using the following formula (1),
[0071]
[0072] In the above formula (1), S0 represents the weighted average crack area in the brazing area; Smax represents the maximum crack area; s(i) represents the crack area of the i-th crack in the brazing area in the existence state information; L(i) represents the crack length of the i-th crack in the brazing area in the existence state information; n represents the total number of cracks in the brazing area in the existence state information; M Smax represents the maximum crack area; s(i) represents the crack area of the i-th crack in the brazing area in the existence state information; L(i) represents the crack length of the i-th crack in the brazing area in the existence state information; n represents the total number of cracks in the brazing area in the existence state information;
[0073] In step S302, according to the weighted average crack area and the maximum crack area in the brazing area, the maximum weighted crack area in the brazing area is obtained by using the following formula (2),
[0074]
[0075] In the above formula (2), S0 represents the maximum weighted crack area in the brazing area;
[0076] In step S303, according to the maximum weighted crack area in the brazing area and the crack distribution density in the brazing area, it is judged whether the brazing operation can be continued in the current brazing area or not by using the following formula (3),
[0077]
[0078] In the above formula (3), E represents the control value of whether the brazing operation can be continued in the current brazing area or not; s z Smax represents the preset threshold area value; p z p0 represents the crack distribution density in the brazing area; F() represents a judgment function, if the formula in the parentheses is true, the function value of the judgment function is 1, if the formula in the parentheses is not true, the function value of the judgment function is 0;
[0079] If E=1, it is controlled that the brazing operation can be continued in the current brazing area;
[0080] If E=0, the control of the brazing area indicates that the brazing operation is not allowed to continue at present.
[0081] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects: according to the total number of cracks and the area occupied by the cracks in the existing state information of the brazing area, the weighted average area occupied by the cracks and the maximum area occupied by the cracks of the brazing area are obtained by using the above formula (1), and then two values reflecting the crack area state are calculated, which lays a foundation for subsequent control and judgment; according to the weighted average area occupied by the cracks and the maximum area occupied by the cracks of the brazing area, the maximum area occupied by the cracks with the largest weight of the brazing area is obtained by using the above formula (2), and then the subsequent judgment is made through the comprehensive maximum area occupied by the weight, which increases the reliability of the judgment and avoids the continuous development of the cracks to cause greater impact; finally, according to the weight area occupied by the cracks of the brazing area and the crack distribution density of the brazing area, it is judged whether the brazing operation is allowed to continue at present, thereby realizing the automatic judgment and control, which embodies the intelligent and automatic characteristics of the system.
[0082] Preferably, in the step S3, according to the temperature state atlas and the crack state atlas, the operation position for continuing the brazing operation is determined, including:
[0083] If the brazing operation is allowed to continue at present, the crack existence position of the area between the adjacent two isotherms in the brazing area and the temperature value of the area between the adjacent two isotherms are extracted from the existing state information, and the filler metal filling position and the filler metal heating temperature for continuing the brazing operation are determined.
[0084] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects: when the brazing operation is allowed to continue at present, the crack existence position of the area between the adjacent two isotherms in the brazing area and the temperature value of the area between the adjacent two isotherms are extracted from the existing state information as the basis to determine the filler metal filling position and the filler metal heating temperature for continuing the brazing operation, which can ensure that the filler metal is filled into the corresponding position and the filler metal is heated at a suitable temperature when the brazing operation continues, thereby improving the reliability of the brazing operation.
[0085] Preferably, in the step S4, the operation process image for continuing the brazing operation is collected, and the operation process image is analyzed to adjust the operation state of the brazing operation, including:

[0087] The relative position relationship between the heating device for heating the filler metal and the operation position is identified from the operation process three-dimensional image, so as to adjust the relative distance of the heating device relative to the operation position.
[0088] The above technical solution has the beneficial effects that: during the continuous brazing operation, the operation process binocular image of the brazing operation is collected to generate the operation process three-dimensional image, so that the relative position between the heating device and the filler metal during the brazing process can be accurately calibrated, and the heating device can be ensured to be within the appropriate distance range from the operation position, so that the filler metal at the operation position can be heated in time and efficiently, and the filler metal can completely fill the original cracks.
