This avoids the problem of excessive heat accumulation at the inflection point position leading to reduced welding quality and improves the weld quality at corners. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the laser welding control method in the embodiment, for reference. Figure 1Laser welding control methods include:

[0040] S1. Obtain the first welding frequency, the total number of weld points, the length of the weld points, and the total length of the welding path.

[0041] In this embodiment, the welding scenario is set as a laser welding-related scenario, and the corresponding welding equipment includes a laser welding gun.

[0042] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the welding path in the embodiment, for reference. Figure 2 In this embodiment, the welding path is used to represent the travel path of a specified laser welding gun in a component to be welded, and laser welding is performed on the path as the laser welding gun moves along the travel path.

[0043] In this embodiment, the welding path is set to include at least a straight welding path and a curved welding path, wherein the curved welding path may include one or more inflection points.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first welding frequency, the total number of weld points, the length of the weld points, and the total length of the welding path are set to preset values.

[0045] In this embodiment, the length of the weld point is defined as the straight line length between the two intersection points of the weld point's edge and the welding path.

[0046] In this embodiment, a first welding frequency is set as the laser frequency used to generate weld points that do not have inflection points.

[0047] S2. Determine the overlap length between two adjacent weld points based on the total number of weld points, the length of each weld point, and the total length of the welding path.

[0048] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the solder joint overlap in the embodiment, for reference. Figure 3 In this embodiment, it is assumed that each solder joint has the same shape (including size), and it is set that when two adjacent solder joints have overlapping parts, the area of ​​the overlapping parts of different groups of solder joints is the same.

[0049] In this embodiment, the overlap length of two adjacent weld points is the straight line length between the first intersection point and the second intersection point. The first intersection point and the second intersection point are two nearby intersection points of the sides of the two adjacent weld points on the welding path, and the overlap length is the length of line segment a.

[0050] For example, in this embodiment, the overlap length can be determined by a geometric formula based on the total number of solder joints, the diameter of the solder joints, and the total length of the welding path. There is no limitation on the geometric formula used, which can be freely set according to requirements.

[0051] S3. Determine the second welding frequency based on the length of the weld joint, the first welding frequency, the overlap length, and the length of the welding path of the overlapping portion between two adjacent weld joints at the inflection point of the welding path.

[0052] In this embodiment, the inflection point is used to represent the point where the curvature of the laser welding gun changes abruptly in the direction of the welding path.

[0053] In this embodiment, the method for determining whether there is an inflection point on the welding path is not specifically limited. For example, the presence of an inflection point on the welding path can be determined by image analysis methods (such as Hough transform).

[0054] Alternatively, the image corresponding to the welding path can be used as input, and a pre-trained neural network model can be used to determine whether there are inflection points on the welding path.

[0055] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the welding path for the overlapping portion between two adjacent weld points at the inflection point in the embodiment. (Refer to...) Figure 4 Line segment b represents the portion of the welding path that includes the inflection point. The length of the welding path is the length of the overlapping portion between two adjacent weld points at the inflection point of the welding path.

[0056] In this embodiment, the method of determining the second welding frequency based on the length of the weld joint, the first welding frequency, the overlap length, and the length of the welding path of the overlapping part between two adjacent weld joints at the inflection point of the welding path is not limited. The corresponding second welding frequency can be determined by calibration test, simulation test or experience.

[0057] S4. At the inflection point of the welding path, control the laser welding to use the second welding frequency.

[0058] In this embodiment, the second welding frequency is different from the first welding frequency. The second welding frequency is used as the laser frequency of the laser welding gun when welding is performed at the inflection point on the welding path of the laser welding gun.

[0059] This embodiment proposes a laser welding control method. In this method, based on the first welding frequency used at non-inflection point positions, the laser frequency is adjusted at the inflection point to generate a second welding frequency. This satisfies the requirement that, when the laser welding gun travels at a constant speed, the laser is output at a specific position on the welding path with an inflection point. This ensures that the weld width and depth at the inflection point are the same as those at the non-inflection point, and both meet the optimal welding process requirements. This avoids the problem of excessive heat accumulation at the inflection point, which leads to reduced welding quality and improves the quality of welds at corners.

[0060] Figure 5 This is a flowchart of another laser welding control method in the embodiment, for reference. Figure 5 In one possible implementation, the method includes:

[0061] S101. Obtain the total welding energy, the power of a single welding point, the total length of the welding path, and the first welding frequency on the straight welding path.

[0062] In this embodiment, the welding scenario is set as a laser welding-related scenario, and the corresponding welding equipment includes a laser welding gun.

[0063] In this embodiment, the welding path is used to represent the travel path of a specified laser welding gun in a component to be welded, and laser welding is performed on the path as the laser welding gun moves along the travel path.

[0064] In this embodiment, the welding path is set to include at least a straight welding path and a curved welding path, wherein the curved welding path may include one or more inflection points.

[0065] In this embodiment, the total welding energy is used to represent the total energy required to melt (laser) the welding material (such as metal powder on the welding path; or the material of the component to be welded at the weld point) when completing the welding of the specified welding path.

[0066] In this embodiment, the output power of the laser welding gun when generating each (laser) weld point is represented by the welding single-point power.

[0067] In this embodiment, the total length of the welding path is used to represent the length of the welding path, that is, the total length from the starting point of the welding path to the ending point of the welding path.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first welding frequency is used to represent the laser (pulse) frequency of the laser welding gun for each (laser) weld point on a straight welding path.

[0069] In this embodiment, for a component to be welded and a welding path thereon, the total welding energy, the power of a single welding point, the total length of the welding path, and the first welding frequency are set to preset values.

[0070] Among them, when the components to be welded are different, the corresponding total welding energy, welding single-point power, welding path total length and first welding frequency can be changed accordingly.

[0071] In this embodiment, the solder joint is set to a circular solder joint.

[0072] S102. Determine the total number of weld points on the welding path based on the total welding energy and the power of a single welding point.

[0073] In this embodiment, the method of determining the total number of weld points on the welding path based on the total welding energy and the power of a single welding point is not limited. For a welding path on a component to be welded, the total number of weld points can be determined by setting a welding quality standard and calibrating the corresponding welding point through calibration tests.

[0074] Alternatively, a function model can be determined through simulation experiments, taking the total welding energy and the power of a single welding point as inputs, and the total number of welding points can be determined through the function model.

[0075] Alternatively, a trained neural network model or machine learning model can be used, taking the total welding energy and the power of a single welding point as inputs, to determine the total number of corresponding welding points.

[0076] S103. Determine the overlap length of two adjacent circular weld points based on the total number of weld points, the diameter of the circular weld points, and the total length of the welding path.

[0077] For example, in this embodiment, the diameter of the circular weld point is set to be related to the welding power of a single point. When the welding power of a single point, the structure of the component to be welded, and the material are determined, the diameter of the circular weld point is determined accordingly.

[0078] The relationship between the diameter of a circular weld point and the power of a single weld point can be determined through calibration tests, simulation tests, or experience.

[0079] For example, in this embodiment, it is assumed that each circular solder joint has the same shape (including size), and it is set that when two adjacent circular solder joints have overlapping parts, the area of ​​the overlapping parts of different groups of circular solder joints is the same.

[0080] For example, in this embodiment, the overlap length of two adjacent circular solder joints is the straight line length between the first intersection point and the second intersection point. The first intersection point and the second intersection point are the two intersection points of the line connecting the centers of the two adjacent circular solder joints and the circumferences of the two circular solder joints, respectively.

[0081] For example, in this embodiment, when the total number of solder joints, the diameter of the circular solder joints, and the total length of the welding path are determined, the overlap length is a fixed value, which can be determined by a geometric relationship.

[0082] For example, in this embodiment, the geometric relationship used is not limited based on the total number of solder joints, the diameter of the circular solder joints, and the total length of the welding path; it can be freely set according to requirements.

[0083] S104. Determine the second welding frequency based on the diameter of the circular weld point, the first welding frequency, the overlap length, and the length of the welding path of the overlapping portion between two adjacent weld points at the inflection point of the welding path.

[0084] In this embodiment, the method of determining the second welding frequency based on the diameter of the circular weld point, the first welding frequency, the overlap length, and the length of the welding path of the overlapping part between two adjacent weld points at the inflection point of the welding path is not limited. The corresponding second welding frequency can be determined by calibration test, simulation test or experience.

[0085] In this embodiment, the second welding frequency is different from the first welding frequency. The second welding frequency is used as the laser frequency of the laser welding gun when the laser welding gun moves to the inflection point on the welding path and performs welding.

[0086] In this embodiment, the second welding frequency is set to at least satisfy the following:

[0087] When the laser welding gun travels at a preset speed and the power of the welding point is fixed, the laser is output at a specific position so that the laser acts evenly on the weld path, so as to avoid excessive heat accumulation at the inflection point, which would cause excessive melting of the material and result in slag or pinholes.

[0088] S105. At the inflection point of the welding path, control the laser welding to be performed using the second welding frequency.

[0089] In this embodiment, the inflection point is used to represent the point where the curvature of the laser welding gun changes abruptly in the direction of the welding path.

[0090] In this embodiment, the method for determining whether there is an inflection point on the welding path is not specifically limited. For example, the presence of an inflection point on the welding path can be determined by image analysis methods (such as Hough transform).

[0091] Alternatively, the image corresponding to the welding path can be used as input, and a pre-trained neural network model can be used to determine whether there are inflection points on the welding path.

[0092] In this embodiment, if the (laser) weld point covers the inflection point, when generating the (laser) weld point, the laser frequency of the laser welding gun is adjusted from the first welding frequency to the second welding frequency.

[0093] exist Figure 1 Based on the scheme shown, in one feasible implementation, the total number of solder joints is determined using the following formula:

[0094]

[0095] In the formula, N is the total number of weld points, Q is the total welding energy, q is the power of a single weld point, and η is the thermal efficiency.

[0096] Furthermore, when determining the total number of solder joints using the above formula, in one possible implementation, the overlap length between two adjacent circular solder joints is determined using the following formula:

[0097]

[0098] In the formula, l is the overlap length, D is the diameter of the circular weld point, L1 is the total length of the welding path, and N is the total number of weld points.

[0099] In this scheme, laser weld points are defined as circular weld points. Furthermore, based on the determined total number of weld points, there is an overlap between every two circular weld points along the welding path.

[0100] Furthermore, based on the above formula to determine the overlap length of two adjacent circular weld points, in one possible implementation, the second welding frequency is determined using the following formula:

[0101]

[0102] In the formula, f2 is the second welding frequency, D is the length of the circular weld point, f1 is the first welding frequency, L is the length of the welding path of the overlapping part between two adjacent weld points at the inflection point of the welding path, and l is the overlap length.

[0103] exist Figure 5 Based on the scheme shown, in one possible implementation, the welding power of a single point is set to the minimum power required for a single weld point to achieve a preset weld depth and / or weld width during laser welding.

[0104] For example, in this solution, in order to reduce heat input, the welding power at a single point is the minimum power to ensure penetration depth. When the structure and / or material of the components to be welded are different, the required penetration depth is different, and correspondingly, the required minimum power is also different.

[0105] For example, in this solution, the minimum power (i.e., single-point welding power) corresponding to generating a weld point (meeting welding requirements) for a specified component to be welded under specified penetration depth requirements can be determined through calibration tests, simulation tests, etc.

[0106] exist Figure 5 Based on the scheme shown, in one possible implementation, the total welding energy is determined by using a preset diagram or table according to the structure, material, and welding path of the component to be welded.

[0107] For example, in this embodiment, the total welding energy is different when the structure, material and / or welding path of the components to be welded are different;

[0108] Based on the quality requirements of welding, the correspondence between the structure, material, welding path and total welding energy of the component to be welded can be determined through calibration tests, and then the corresponding diagrams or tables can be determined. These diagrams or tables can be determined through calibration tests, simulation tests and other methods.

[0109] exist Figure 5 Based on the scheme shown, in one possible implementation, laser welding is controlled to be performed at a uniform speed along the welding path.

[0110] For example, in this solution, the laser welding gun is controlled to move at a constant speed according to a preset speed, whether it is performing welding work on a straight welding path or a curved welding path. That is, the speed of the laser welding gun on the straight welding path is the same as the speed on the curved welding path.

[0111] Figure 6 This is a flowchart of another laser welding control method in the embodiment, for reference. Figure 6 In one possible implementation, the laser welding control method includes:

[0112] S201. Obtain the total welding energy, welding single-point power, total welding path length, first welding frequency on the straight welding path, and laser welding torch travel speed.

[0113] In this scheme, after determining the structure and material of the component to be welded (e.g., battery cover) and the specified welding path, the total welding energy, welding single-point power, total welding path length, first welding frequency, and laser welding gun travel speed are the corresponding preset values.

[0114] In this scheme, the welding single-point power is the minimum power to ensure the penetration depth during laser welding for a single (laser) weld point. The value of the welding single-point power can be determined through calibration tests according to the structure and material of the components to be welded.

[0115] S202. Determine the total number of weld points on the welding path based on the total welding energy and the power of a single welding point.

[0116] In this scheme, the total number of solder joints is determined according to the following formula:

[0117]

[0118] In the formula, N is the total number of weld points, Q is the total welding energy, q is the power of a single weld point, and η is the thermal efficiency.

[0119] S203. Determine the overlap length of two adjacent circular weld points based on the total number of weld points, the diameter of the circular weld points, and the total length of the welding path.

[0120] In this scheme, the overlap length is determined according to the following formula:

[0121]

[0122] In the formula, l is the overlap length, D is the diameter of the circular weld point, L1 is the total length of the welding path, and N is the total number of weld points.

[0123] For example, in this embodiment, the diameter of the circular weld point can be determined based on the welding power of a single point, wherein the relationship between the diameter of the circular weld point and the welding power of a single point can be determined based on a calibration test.

[0124] S204. Determine the second welding frequency based on the diameter of the circular weld point, the first welding frequency, the overlap length, and the center distance between two adjacent circular weld points.

[0125] In this scheme, the second welding frequency is determined according to the following formula:

[0126]

[0127] In the formula, f2 is the second welding frequency, D is the length of the circular weld point, f1 is the first welding frequency, L is the length of the welding path of the overlapping part between two adjacent weld points at the inflection point of the welding path, and l is the overlap length.

[0128] S205. In a straight welding path, control the use of the first welding frequency for laser welding, and control the movement speed of the laser welding gun to be the laser welding gun travel speed.

[0129] S206. At the inflection point of the curved welding path, control the laser welding to use the second welding frequency, and control the movement speed of the laser welding gun to be the laser welding gun travel speed.

[0130] Combining steps S205 and S206, in this scheme, when the laser welding gun is set to generate a weld point at the inflection point of the straight welding path and the curved welding path, the power of the single welding point remains constant while the welding frequency is different.

[0131] Meanwhile, the laser welding gun is set to move at a constant speed on both straight and curved welding paths. That is, the speed of the laser welding gun remains constant along the welding path, always being the same as the speed at which the laser welding gun travels.

[0132] In this solution, for welding work on a specified welding path on a specified component to be welded, at the inflection point of the welding path, the laser frequency (welding frequency) of the laser welding gun is adjusted. Without changing the welding speed, the laser welding gun (generator) is controlled to output laser at a specific position, so that the laser acts evenly on the welding (weld) path, so that the penetration depth reaches the set optimal value. At the same time, the heat distribution of the cover plate weld is more uniform, and the overall morphology is more consistent.

[0133] Example 2

[0134] This embodiment proposes a laser welding control device, including a laser welding control unit, which is used for:

[0135] Obtain the first welding frequency, the total number of weld points, the diameter of the weld points, and the total length of the welding path;

[0136] The overlap length between two adjacent weld points is determined based on the total number of weld points, the diameter of the weld points, and the total length of the welding path.

[0137] The second welding frequency is determined based on the length of the weld joint, the first welding frequency, the overlap length, and the length of the welding path of the overlapping portion between two adjacent weld joints located at the inflection point of the welding path.

[0138] At the inflection point of the welding path, laser welding is performed using a second welding frequency.

[0139] In this embodiment, the laser welding control unit can be specifically configured to implement any one of the laser welding control methods in Embodiment 1. Its implementation process and beneficial effects are the same as the corresponding content recorded in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.
