The short-circuit arc ratio is the ratio of the duration of the short-circuit phase to the duration of the arc phase in one welding cycle. Furthermore, it also involves obtaining the average short-circuit arc ratio of the current welding cycle in actual short-circuit welding and the average short-circuit arc ratio of each welding cycle in the previous N welding cycles.

[0030] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Through these descriptions, the features and advantages of the present application will become clearer and more apparent.

[0031] The term “exemplary” as used herein means “serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration.” Any embodiment illustrated herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as superior to or better than other embodiments. Although various aspects of embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated otherwise.

[0032] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0033] To facilitate understanding, the application scenarios of the technical solution in this application will be introduced first.

[0034] The inventors discovered in practical applications that during short-circuit welding, if the cable is long, there is a high probability of cable tangling or coiling. Once the cable tangles or coils, the inductance in the welding circuit increases, resulting in a smaller rate of change of the welding current.

[0035] In that case, such as Figure 1 As shown, a welding cycle of short-circuit welding includes a short-circuit phase and an arc-ignition phase. During the arc-ignition phase, as the welding current rises, the rate of change of the welding current may decrease, causing the actual welding current (actual current) to rise more slowly compared to the commanded welding current (command current) controlled according to the set welding parameters. This delays the time it takes to reach the maximum welding current (high current) of the arc-ignition phase, resulting in less welding energy and a shorter arc length, thus causing spatter.

[0036] like Figure 2As shown, a welding cycle for short-circuit welding includes a short-circuit phase and an arc-ignition phase. During the arc-ignition phase, as the welding current decreases, the rate of change of the welding current may decrease, resulting in a slower decrease in the actual current compared to the commanded current. This slower reduction in the high current leads to increased welding energy during the welding process, resulting in a longer arc length and consequently, a poorer weld finish.

[0037] Furthermore, the inventors discovered in practical applications that during short-circuit welding, after the molten droplet forms, it comes into contact with the molten pool as the welding wire is fed, resulting in a short circuit. The droplet then gradually transitions into the molten pool. After the transition is complete, the welding wire and the molten pool separate, generating a welding arc. Subsequently, during the high-current phase of the arc-burning stage, the welding wire melts, forming new droplets. As the welding current gradually decreases to the arc-maintaining current, it awaits the next short circuit. In this process, the lower the welding energy during the arc-burning stage, the shorter the duration of the arc-burning stage, and the larger the ratio of the short-circuit stage duration to the arc-burning stage duration. Conversely, the higher the welding energy during the arc-burning stage, the longer the duration of the arc-burning stage, and the smaller the ratio of the short-circuit stage duration to the arc-burning stage duration.

[0038] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides an energy compensation method and apparatus for short-circuit welding. The method involves obtaining the average short-circuit arc ratio over multiple welding cycles in standard short-circuit welding. The short-circuit arc ratio is the ratio of the duration of the short-circuit phase to the duration of the arc phase in one welding cycle. Furthermore, the method also obtains the average short-circuit arc ratio of the current welding cycle in actual short-circuit welding and the average short-circuit arc ratio of each welding cycle in the previous N welding cycles. Then, based on the deviation between the average short-circuit arc ratio in actual short-circuit welding and the average short-circuit arc ratio in standard short-circuit welding, the current compensation amount for the arc phase is determined. Subsequently, this current compensation amount is used to compensate the current in the arc phase of the next welding cycle, thereby compensating the welding energy of the next welding cycle.

[0039] In this way, according to the energy compensation method for short-circuit welding provided in the embodiments of this application, after energy compensation for each welding cycle of actual short-circuit welding, it can be ensured that the welding energy of each welding cycle is in a relatively appropriate state, neither too large nor too small, thereby ensuring that the arc length of the welding arc is also in a relatively appropriate state, thereby avoiding the occurrence of spatter and poor weld effect.

[0040] The energy compensation method for short-circuit welding provided in the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] See Figure 3 , Figure 3This is a flowchart illustrating an energy compensation method for short-circuit welding, provided as an embodiment of this application. This method can be applied to terminal devices or controllers installed in short-circuit welding systems. The following description uses a controller installed in a short-circuit welding system as an example to illustrate an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0042] Step S101: Obtain the average standard short-circuit arcing ratio.

[0043] In one possible implementation, in short-circuit welding applications, welding can be performed periodically according to a pre-set welding cycle. The welding cycle can be set according to the requirements of the actual application scenario. Furthermore, a welding cycle can include a short-circuit phase and an arc-ignition phase.

[0044] Optionally, the average short-circuit arc ratio can be the average of the short-circuit arc ratios across multiple welding cycles in standard short-circuit welding. Standard short-circuit welding can also be referred to as ideal short-circuit welding. In standard short-circuit welding, the welding energy in each welding cycle can remain consistent; that is, the welding energy in each welding cycle is appropriate, neither too high nor too low, ensuring that the arc length of the welding arc remains suitable, preventing spatter and poor weld quality, and resulting in a more stable weld.

[0045] Optionally, the multiple welding cycles of a standard short-circuit weld can be all welding cycles of a standard short-circuit weld. Optionally, the multiple welding cycles of a standard short-circuit weld can also be a portion of the welding cycles of a standard short-circuit weld. Optionally, the multiple welding cycles of a standard short-circuit weld can be multiple consecutive welding cycles in a standard short-circuit weld. Optionally, the multiple welding cycles of a standard short-circuit weld can also be multiple discontinuous (or intermittent) welding cycles in a standard short-circuit weld.

[0046] Optionally, the short-circuit arc ratio can be the ratio of the duration of the short-circuit phase to the duration of the arc phase in one welding cycle of short-circuit welding. For example, as... Figure 4 As shown, the short-circuit arc ratio can be Figure 4 The ratio between the duration T1 of the short-circuit phase and the duration T2 of the arcing phase in the welding cycle shown.

[0047] In one possible implementation, in short-circuit welding applications, welding parameters can be preset before welding. These parameters may include the welding cycle, the duty cycle of the short-circuit phase and / or the duty cycle of the arc phase within each welding cycle, welding current, welding voltage, etc. It is understood that welding parameters may also include other parameters, such as wire feed speed, which will not be listed here.

[0048] The average standard short-circuit arc ratio is related to the preset wire feed speed and welding voltage in a short-circuit welding scenario. Therefore, the average standard short-circuit arc ratio will also differ when the preset welding voltage and / or wire feed speed is different.

[0049] Based on this, in one possible implementation, the average short-circuit arc ratio can be obtained as follows: obtain a preset welding voltage and a preset wire feed speed; obtain a second correspondence relationship corresponding to the preset wire feed speed from a plurality of first correspondence relationships; the plurality of first correspondence relationships refer to the correspondence between welding voltage and the average short-circuit arc ratio in standard short-circuit welding under different preset wire feed speeds; and determine the average standard short-circuit arc ratio based on the preset welding voltage and the second correspondence relationship.

[0050] The preset welding voltage refers to the welding voltage set in advance during actual short-circuit welding. The preset wire feed speed refers to the wire feed speed set in advance during actual short-circuit welding. It should be noted that actual short-circuit welding can also be referred to as current short-circuit welding or short-circuit welding to be energy compensated, etc., and this application does not limit it in this way.

[0051] Optionally, the first correspondence can be represented by a table including the welding voltage and the average short-circuit arc ratio. In this scenario, different wire feed speeds correspond to different tables. Based on this, a table corresponding to a preset wire feed speed can be obtained, and the second correspondence can be represented by this table.

[0052] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first correspondence can also be represented by the relationship curve between welding voltage and the average short-circuit arc ratio. In this scenario, different wire feed speeds correspond to different relationship curves. For example, wire feed speed S1 corresponds to relationship curve 1, wire feed speed S2 corresponds to relationship curve 2, and wire feed speed S3 corresponds to relationship curve 3. Wherein, S1 is less than S2, and S2 is less than S3. Based on this, the relationship curve corresponding to the preset wire feed speed can be obtained, and the second correspondence can be represented by this relationship curve.

[0053] It is understandable that the first correspondence can also be represented in other ways, which will not be listed here. Similarly, the second correspondence can also be represented in other ways.

[0054] Optionally, the average short-circuit arc ratio can be determined based on the preset welding voltage and the second correspondence, which can be achieved as follows: select the welding voltage that is the same as the preset welding voltage from the second correspondence, and record the selected welding voltage as the first welding voltage; determine the average short-circuit arc ratio corresponding to the first welding voltage in the second correspondence as the average standard short-circuit arc ratio.

[0055] Step S102: Obtain the average value of the actual short-circuit arcing ratio.

[0056] The actual short-circuit arc ratio mean refers to the average of the short-circuit arc ratio in the current welding cycle and the average of the short-circuit arc ratios in the previous N welding cycles during actual short-circuit welding. N is an integer greater than or equal to zero.

[0057] Optionally, the first N welding cycles of the current welding cycle can be the first N consecutive welding cycles of the current welding cycle. Optionally, the first N welding cycles of the current welding cycle can also be the first N discontinuous welding cycles of the current welding cycle. This application does not impose any restrictions on this. However, for more stable welding, the first N consecutive welding cycles of the current welding cycle are usually selected to determine the average value of the actual short-circuit arc ratio.

[0058] In one possible implementation, obtaining the average actual short-circuit arc ratio can be achieved as follows: obtaining the short-circuit arc ratio of each welding cycle in the previous N welding cycles; determining the first short-circuit duration and the first arc duration; the first short-circuit duration being the duration of the short-circuit phase in the current welding cycle; the first arc duration being the duration of the arc phase in the current welding cycle; determining the short-circuit arc ratio of the current welding cycle based on the first short-circuit duration and the first arc duration; calculating the average of the short-circuit arc ratio of the current welding cycle and the average of the short-circuit arc ratios of each welding cycle in the previous N welding cycles to generate the average actual short-circuit arc ratio.

[0059] Optionally, in actual short-circuit welding, the short-circuit arc ratio for each welding cycle is determined. After determining the short-circuit arc ratio for each welding cycle, it can be stored. The method for determining the short-circuit arc ratio for each welding cycle can refer to the aforementioned method for determining the short-circuit arc ratio for the current welding cycle, and will not be repeated here.

[0060] Step S103: Based on the deviation between the average actual short-circuit arc ratio and the average standard short-circuit arc ratio, determine the current compensation amount during the arcing stage.

[0061] In one possible implementation, the current compensation amount for the arcing stage is determined based on the deviation between the actual average short-circuit arcing ratio and the standard average short-circuit arcing ratio. This can be achieved as follows: based on the deviation between the actual average short-circuit arcing ratio and the standard average short-circuit arcing ratio, the current compensation amount for the arcing stage is calculated and generated using a proportional-integral-differential (PID) algorithm.

[0062] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, it can be done according to Figure 6As shown, the difference between the actual short-circuit arc ratio average Kave and the standard short-circuit arc ratio average K, Kave-K, is first calculated. Then, the difference Kave-K is input to the PID controller, and the current compensation amount IP during the arcing stage is calculated by the PID controller.

[0063] Step S104: Based on the current compensation amount, perform current compensation on the current during the arc-burning stage of the next welding cycle in the current welding cycle, so as to perform energy compensation for the next welding cycle.

[0064] In one possible implementation, current compensation for the arc-ignition phase of the next welding cycle based on the current compensation amount can be achieved as follows: if the current compensation amount is positive, the current of the arc-ignition phase of the next welding cycle is increased by the current compensation amount; or, if the current compensation amount is negative, the current of the arc-ignition phase of the next welding cycle is decreased by the absolute value of the current compensation amount.

[0065] When the current compensation is positive, it indicates that the welding energy in the current short-circuit welding is lower than that in the standard short-circuit welding, and the welding energy of the current short-circuit welding needs to be increased. Based on this, optionally, such as... Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 The diagram shows the next welding cycle after the current welding cycle, which includes a short-circuit phase and an arc-ignition phase. According to the energy compensation method for short-circuit welding provided in this application, the current compensation amount is increased during the arc-ignition phase of this welding cycle, thereby increasing the welding energy of this welding cycle, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the compensated welding energy is greater than the uncompensated welding energy, so in the next welding cycle of the current welding cycle, welding is performed with a welding energy equivalent to that of standard short-circuit welding, which can avoid spatter.

[0066] When the current compensation is negative, it indicates that the welding energy in the current short-circuit welding is greater than that in the standard short-circuit welding, and the welding energy of the current short-circuit welding needs to be reduced. Based on this, optionally, such as... Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 The diagram shows the next welding cycle after the current welding cycle, which includes a short-circuit phase and an arcing phase. According to the energy compensation method for short-circuit welding provided in this application, the current compensation amount is reduced during the arcing phase of this welding cycle, thereby reducing the welding energy of this welding cycle, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the compensated welding energy is less than the original welding energy. Therefore, in the next welding cycle of the current welding cycle, welding is performed with a welding energy equivalent to that of standard short-circuit welding, which can avoid the phenomenon of poor weld quality.

[0067] The energy compensation method for short-circuit welding provided in this application embodiment can obtain the average short-circuit arc ratio of multiple welding cycles in standard short-circuit welding. The short-circuit arc ratio refers to the ratio of the duration of the short-circuit phase to the duration of the arc phase in one welding cycle of short-circuit welding. In addition, the average short-circuit arc ratio of the current welding cycle in actual short-circuit welding and the average short-circuit arc ratio of each welding cycle in the previous N welding cycles of the current welding cycle can be obtained. Then, based on the deviation between the average short-circuit arc ratio in actual short-circuit welding and the average short-circuit arc ratio in standard short-circuit welding, the current compensation amount for the arc phase can be determined. Afterwards, the current compensation amount can be used to compensate the current of the arc phase in the next welding cycle of the current welding cycle, thereby compensating the welding energy of the next welding cycle.

[0068] In this way, according to the energy compensation method for short-circuit welding provided in the embodiments of this application, after energy compensation for each welding cycle of actual short-circuit welding, it can be ensured that the welding energy of each welding cycle is in a relatively appropriate state, neither too large nor too small, thereby ensuring that the arc length of the welding arc is also in a relatively appropriate state, thereby avoiding the occurrence of spatter and poor weld effect.

[0069] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely examples, and modifications can be made to the above embodiments in actual implementation. Those skilled in the art will understand that any modifications to the above embodiments that do not require creative effort fall within the protection scope of this application, and will not be described in detail in the embodiments.

[0070] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides an energy compensation device for short-circuit welding. Since the principle of the energy compensation device for short-circuit welding is similar to that of the aforementioned energy compensation method for short-circuit welding, the implementation of the energy compensation device for short-circuit welding can refer to the implementation of the aforementioned energy compensation method for short-circuit welding, and the repeated parts will not be described again.

Among them,

[0072] The first acquisition module 901 can be used to acquire the average standard short-circuit arc ratio; the average standard short-circuit arc ratio refers to the average short-circuit arc ratio of multiple welding cycles in standard short-circuit welding; the short-circuit arc ratio refers to the ratio of the duration of the short-circuit phase to the duration of the arc phase in one welding cycle of short-circuit welding.

[0073] The second acquisition module 902 can be used to acquire the average value of the actual short-circuit arc ratio; the average value of the actual short-circuit arc ratio refers to the average value of the short-circuit arc ratio of the current welding cycle and the short-circuit arc ratio of each welding cycle in the previous N welding cycles in the actual short-circuit welding; N is an integer greater than or equal to zero.

[0074] The determination module 903 can be used to determine the current compensation amount during the arcing stage based on the deviation between the average actual short-circuit arcing ratio and the average standard short-circuit arcing ratio.

[0075] The compensation module 904 can be used to perform current compensation on the current of the arc-burning stage of the next welding cycle based on the current compensation amount, so as to perform energy compensation for the next welding cycle.
