The established correspondence between image grayscale value and current density yields relatively accurate results.
[0049] The detection method for the current density distribution at the tip of the arc welding electrode is particularly suitable for detecting the current density distribution at the tip of the tungsten electrode in tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding. Based on establishing a quantitative relationship between the arc gray value and the current density distribution at the tip of the tungsten electrode in TIG welding, accurate measured values of the current density at the tip of the tungsten electrode in TIG welding can be obtained.
[0050] Applying the above detection method to the detection of current density distribution at the tungsten electrode tip in tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding has at least the following advantages: 1.

It generates a large amount of data, has low equipment cost, is relatively simple to operate, and can be processed in batches; 4. By establishing a corresponding calculation relationship between image grayscale values and current density, the results obtained are relatively accurate.
[0051] The method for detecting the current density distribution at the tip of an arc welding electrode according to the present invention includes the following steps for acquiring image information of the electrode tip region during welding:
[0052] A charge-coupled device (CCD) camera is used to acquire real-time image information of the electrode end area during the welding process.
[0053] A charge-coupled device camera (CCD camera) is a high-speed camera that uses high-speed cameras to capture images of the electrode area in real time during the welding process, enabling it to respond quickly and achieve real-time detection.
[0054] In this embodiment, the step of establishing the functional relationship between grayscale value and current density includes:
[0055] The first functional relationship between the number of light-injected charges of the photosensitive unit in the charge-coupled device camera and the photon flux of the incident light and the gray value is obtained. The second functional relationship between the photon flux of the incident light and the radiant energy is obtained. The third functional relationship between the radiant energy and the temperature is obtained. Based on the first, second and third functional relationships, the functional relationship between the gray value and the temperature is obtained.
[0056] Specifically, we analyze an infinitesimally small time interval and an infinitesimally small photosensitive unit when the arc stabilizes. The infinitesimally small time interval can be defined as a few milliseconds, and the infinitesimally small photosensitive unit can be defined as a pixel within the capture range. At this point, the first functional relationship between the number of light-injected charges in the photosensitive unit, the photon flux of the incident light, and the grayscale value is as follows:
[0057] Q=ηeΔn eo At = (YB) × G·e;
[0058] Where Q is the photoinjection charge number of the photosensitive unit, η is the quantum efficiency of the material, e is the electron charge, and Δn eo Let η be the photon flux of the incident light, A be the light-receiving area of the photosensitive unit, t be the light injection time (exposure time), Y be the grayscale value (which can be directly generated or read out and is a known quantity in the formula), B be the camera bias value, and G be the camera gain value. For the same charge-coupled device (CCD) camera, η, e, and A are all constants, and the bias value B and gain value G are the same. In this embodiment, the camera bias value B of the CCD camera is 0.131944, and the camera gain value G of the CCD camera is 2.06.
[0059] Specifically, the second function relating the photon flux of the incident light to the radiant energy is as follows:
[0060]
[0061] Θ eλ =Q e ·ΔS;
[0062] Where h is Planck's constant, ν is the frequency of the radiated electromagnetic wave, λ is the wavelength, and Q e It is radiant energy.
[0063] Specifically, the third function relating radiant energy and temperature is as follows:
[0064] Q e =εσT 4 ;
[0065] Among them, Q e Let σ be the radiant energy, ε be the surface emissivity of the object (a constant), and σ be a value that can be 5.67 × 10⁻⁶. -5 Its unit is erg·cm -2 ·K -4 T represents temperature.
[0066] In this embodiment, the step of establishing the functional relationship between grayscale value and current density further includes:
[0067] The functional relationship between the emission current density at the electrode tip and temperature is obtained. Based on the functional relationship between grayscale value and temperature, the functional relationship between grayscale value and current density is obtained.
[0068] Specifically, the functional relationship between the emission current density at the electrode tip and temperature is as follows:
[0069]
[0070] Where j is the current density, C = 60 A / (cm²) 2 ·K 2 T is the temperature, and k is the Boltzmann constant = 8.62 × 10⁻⁶. - 5 ev / K, φ is the work function of the metal, and different values are chosen based on different metals.
[0071] By combining the functional relationship between the emission current density at the electrode tip and temperature with the functional relationship between grayscale value and temperature, the functional relationship between grayscale value and current density can be obtained, establishing the correspondence between image grayscale value and current density, and the obtained results are relatively accurate.
[0072] In this embodiment, the step of obtaining the distribution of current density at the electrode tip based on the functional relationship between grayscale data of the arc region at the electrode tip and grayscale value and current density includes:
[0073] Any pixel at the electrode end in the grayscale image is selected as the standard point. The ratio of physical parameters between the standard point and the other points is obtained based on the functional relationship between grayscale value and temperature. Combined with the functional relationship between the emission current density at the electrode end and temperature, the ratio of current density between the standard point and the other points is obtained. The ratio of current density between the standard point and the other points is related to the temperature parameter of the standard point.
[0074] Define the standard point as point * and the remaining points as point i. Based on the aforementioned functional relationship, the following ratio of physical parameters can be obtained:
[0075]
[0076] The current density ratio between the standard point and the other points is as follows:
[0077]
[0078] In this embodiment, the step of obtaining the distribution of current density at the electrode tip based on the grayscale data of the arc region at the electrode tip and the functional relationship between grayscale value and current density further includes:
[0079] The grayscale image generated by meshing is used to obtain the functional relationship between welding current and unit mesh area. Based on the shape of the electrode end, the expression for unit mesh area is obtained. Combining the functional relationship between welding current and unit mesh area and the expression for unit mesh area, the functional relationship between welding current and temperature parameters of standard points is obtained. Based on the set value of welding current, the value of temperature parameters of standard points is obtained.
[0080] The functional relationship between welding current and element mesh area is as follows:
[0081]
[0082] Where I is the welding current, which will be set to different values based on the actual welding situation. It is a known value. m is the number of grids divided horizontally in the circumferential area of the tungsten end, and n is the number of grids divided vertically in the tungsten end.
[0083] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, based on the fact that the tungsten end is frustum-shaped, the expression for the element mesh area can be obtained as follows:
[0084]
[0085] Where, ΔS i R is the area of a single cell grid. i For the level of the cell grid, ΔL i The vertical grid spacing is defined for the tungsten end portion.
[0086] In this embodiment, the step of obtaining the distribution of current density at the electrode tip based on the grayscale data of the arc region at the electrode tip and the functional relationship between grayscale value and current density further includes:
[0087] Based on the obtained temperature parameters of the standard points, and combined with the current density ratio between the standard points and other points, the current density of each pixel is obtained.
[0088] Based on the obtained temperature parameter T of the standard point * The value of j can be used to quickly determine the current density j of each of the other pixels through proportional relationships. i This allows for the rapid and accurate determination of the current density at each pixel, thus revealing the distribution of the current density at the electrode tip.
[0089] In this embodiment, a narrowband filter and a neutral density filter are arranged in front of the lens of the charge-coupled device (CCD) camera. The narrowband filter and neutral density filter are replaceably mounted in front of the lens of the CCCD camera. At least two narrowband filters are provided, and the spectral lines of the at least two narrowband filters are different. At least two neutral density filters are provided, and the light reduction ratios of the at least two neutral density filters are different.
[0090] By configuring narrowband filters and neutral density filters, overexposure caused by excessively high temperatures in the arc region can be prevented. Replaceable narrowband filters and neutral density filters allow for adjustments based on different welding conditions. For example, different spectral lines of narrowband filters can be used for different welding currents, and different neutral density filters with different attenuation ratios can be used for different welding currents. Of course, narrowband filters can also employ specific spectral lines to adapt to specific welding conditions.
[0091] On the other hand, such as Figure 2 As shown, this invention also provides a detection system for the current density distribution at the tip of an arc welding electrode, including a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera, a grayscale image generation unit, a function relationship establishment unit, and a result output unit. The CCD camera is used to acquire image information of the electrode tip region during the welding process. The grayscale image generation unit is electrically connected to the CCD camera and is used to generate a grayscale image based on the image information and acquire grayscale data of the arc region at the electrode tip. The function relationship establishment unit is electrically connected to the grayscale image generation unit and is used to establish a functional relationship between grayscale values and current density. The result output unit is electrically connected to the function relationship establishment unit and is used to obtain the current density distribution at the electrode tip based on the grayscale data of the arc region at the electrode tip and the functional relationship.
[0092] In this embodiment, by acquiring image information and forming a grayscale image, and establishing a functional relationship between grayscale value and current density, the distribution of current density at the electrode end is directly obtained through the grayscale value of each region. This method allows for measurement without contact with the electrode, thus avoiding any impact on the welding process. Furthermore, based on real-time measurement and extremely fast response speed, it avoids errors caused by electrode burn-out. The established correspondence between image grayscale value and current density yields relatively accurate results.
