[0040] The control program of the collaborative robot is a modular independent control program, which can directly write the bottom process logic.

The smoke collection capacity is ensured, and the vertical density of the filter screen 202 is also improved.

[0052] Specifically, the interface module 302 includes a general electric interface, a mechanical arm power supply interface, and a tin feeder power supply interface.

[0053] The general electric interface is connected with the AC contactor through a cable to supply power to the mobile control platform 3; the on-off of the AC contactor is controlled through the closing and opening of the general electric switch, so as to realize the functions of starting and shutting down the mobile control platform 3.

[0057] The tin feeding parameter manual adjustment controller can directly adjust the tin feeding amount and the tin feeding speed without the soldering program written by the mechanical arm, so that the demand for correcting the tin soldering process without stopping is realized.

[0062] S2. Setting the preheating tin feeding amount; the tin feeding amount is controlled by the preheating time and the tin feeding speed, and the tin feeding in advance can improve the temperature stability in the welding process. In the embodiment, the preheating time is 0.6-1.2s, and the tin feeding speed is 10-16mm / s. The lower tin feeding speed can improve the service life of the soldering iron tip.

[0063] S3. Setting the second section tin feeding amount; the second section tin feeding amount is controlled by the second section tin feeding time and the tin feeding speed. In the embodiment, the tin feeding time is set to 0.6-1.5s, the new tin is supplemented, the tin feeding speed is consistent with S2, the aging of the tin at high temperature is avoided, and the welding stability and the welding point forming quality are improved.

[0066] S6. Set the soldering tin point, the actual soldering point position;

[0067] S7. Set the retreat point; in this embodiment, the height is generally 20-30mm lower than the gun point height, but cannot be lower than the highest point of the welding plane, and the greater the height difference from the gun point, the better the jitter problem caused by eccentricity of the end soldering structure can be printed.

[0068] S8. Set the start signal IO (start program), set DI1 input as start signal;

[0069] S9. Set the pause signal IO (pause program running), set DI2 input as pause program running signal;

[0070] S10. Set the reset signal IO (return to the program origin, cancel and continue running), set DI3 input as signal running to the program origin;

[0071] S11. Set the cleaning signal IO (start cleaning function), set DI4 input as start cleaning function signal;

[0072] S12. Set the cleaning box signal IO (open the cleaning box), set DO5 output as start cleaning box signal;

[0073] S13. Add the rest of the IO or script program segment according to the needs, set up, and perform the soldering operation.

[0074] In this embodiment, the soldering process program is written in LUA language script, the script language logic is sequential execution logic, each function is written simply, and can be called according to the function rule, and the soldering process program of the device is written in a modular way, so it is not necessary to have too much professional knowledge, and the soldering process program can be adjusted according to the actual needs by redefining the parameters according to the script annotation. The soldering process program communicates with the PLC through IO, and realizes the output of each function action in the program. At the same time, the script can be applied to the use of various brands of collaborative robots.

[0076] It should be noted that in the present embodiment, we successfully use the small load collaborative robot for soldering operation by the compactness and light weight of the end soldering mechanism 2 of the collaborative soldering robot, and the soldering process program thereof can be freely adjusted according to the actual demand to achieve the best welding state. The advantage lies in that the collaborative robot has strong expansion capability, wide effective stroke range, light weight, high reliability, small space occupation, and is convenient for the layout and interaction of the automatic production line.
