[0053] Those skilled in the art can understand that Figure 1 the terminal device structure shown in the foregoing embodiments does not constitute a limitation on the terminal device, and can include more or fewer components than those shown, or combine certain components, or different component arrangements.

[0055] In the device shown in Figure 1 the network interface 1004 is mainly used to connect to a background server and communicate data with the background server; the user interface 1003 is mainly used to connect to a client (user end) and communicate data with the client; and the processor 1001 can be used to call the laser cutting supervision program stored in the memory 1005 and perform the following operations:

[0056] In the execution of the laser cutting operation, the industrial camera is controlled to collect a cutting picture, and the cutting information in the cutting picture is identified through the image recognition unit, and the cutting information includes plate information and cutting surface smoothness;

[0057] When the cutting surface smoothness is lower than a preset threshold value, the parameter information of the laser cutting is obtained, and the parameter to be adjusted is determined according to the plate information and the parameter information, wherein the threshold value corresponds to the plate information;

[0058] Adjust the value corresponding to the to-be-adjusted parameter in the parameter information to obtain new parameter information, and perform a laser cutting operation based on the new parameter information.

[0059] Based on the above hardware structure, the overall concept of each embodiment of the laser cutting supervision method is proposed.

[0060] Nowadays, when a technician operates a laser cutting machine to cut a plate, the cutting parameters corresponding to the plate, such as output power, wire cutting speed, and auxiliary gas type, need to be set on the laser cutting machine in advance. However, in the actual cutting process, if the pre-designed cutting parameters do not match the plate, burrs will be generated during the cutting of the plate, resulting in a rough surface of the cut plate.

[0061] Since removing the burrs on the plate requires additional work, the technician needs to repeatedly adjust the cutting parameters based on his own experience to reduce the generation of burrs, resulting in a low cutting efficiency of the laser cutting machine.

[0062] To solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present application proposes a laser cutting supervision method, system, terminal device and computer storage medium, wherein the laser cutting supervision method is applied to a laser cutting machine, the laser cutting machine includes an industrial camera and an image recognition unit, and the laser cutting supervision method includes: when the laser cutting machine cuts a plate, the industrial camera installed on the laser cutting machine collects a cutting picture during cutting, and the image recognition unit including an image recognition algorithm identifies plate information and cutting surface smoothness in the cutting picture. When the laser cutting machine detects that the cutting surface smoothness is lower than a preset threshold, the parameter information set by the technician during laser cutting is obtained, and then the parameters that need to be adjusted are determined according to the plate information and the parameter information. Then, the parameters that need to be adjusted are adjusted to obtain new parameter information, and the laser cutting machine will continue to perform the laser cutting operation after obtaining the new parameter information.

[0063] Compared with the traditional manual parameter adjustment method of the technician, the present application automatically identifies burrs through the image recognition unit, and then automatically adjusts the parameters set by the technician according to the plate information, which can realize the effect of parameter adaptation to the plate, thereby improving the cutting efficiency of the laser cutting machine.

[0064] Based on the overall concept of the above laser cutting supervision method, each embodiment of the laser cutting supervision method is proposed.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a first embodiment of the laser cutting supervision method of the present application. It should be noted that although a logical sequence is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the individual steps of the laser cutting supervision method of the present application can of course be performed in a different order than that shown here.

[0066] In this embodiment, the laser cutting supervision method is applied to a laser cutting machine, which comprises an industrial camera and an image recognition unit, and the laser cutting supervision method comprises:

[0067] Step S10: When performing a laser cutting operation, control the industrial camera to capture a cutting picture, and identify the cutting information in the cutting picture through the image recognition unit, wherein the cutting information comprises plate information and cutting surface smoothness.

[0068] It should be noted that the industrial camera can be installed on the laser cutting machine near the laser nozzle, and the image recognition unit is a computing unit that stores an image feature extraction algorithm.

[0069] In this embodiment, when the laser cutting machine performs a laser cutting operation, the industrial camera will be controlled to take a cutting picture at a predetermined frequency, and then transmit the cutting picture to the image recognition unit for processing. The image recognition unit can identify the cutting information in the cutting picture based on the image feature extraction algorithm, wherein the cutting information can include plate information and cutting surface smoothness.

[0070] For example, assuming that the technician sets the shooting frequency to 1 second, the laser cutting machine controls the industrial camera to take a cutting picture every 1 second, and then transmits the captured cutting picture to the image recognition unit. Since the VGG and Resnet algorithms are stored in the image recognition unit, the image recognition unit can identify the plate information and cutting surface smoothness represented by the cutting picture after receiving the cutting picture.

[0071] Step S20: When the cutting surface smoothness is lower than a predetermined threshold, obtain the parameter information of the laser cutting, and determine the parameter to be adjusted according to the plate information and the parameter information, wherein the threshold corresponds to the plate information.

[0072] It should be noted that since burrs can be generated during laser cutting, the cutting surface will have molten plate material. Therefore, the cutting surface smoothness is related to the number of burrs on the plate surface. The more burrs, the lower the cutting surface smoothness.

[0073] In the embodiment, after obtaining the plate information and the smoothness of the cutting surface according to the number of burrs on the surface of the plate, the laser cutting machine obtains the threshold corresponding to the plate, i.e., obtains the smoothness threshold corresponding to the plate, compares the smoothness of the cutting surface with the smoothness threshold, and if the smoothness of the cutting surface is lower than the smoothness threshold, obtains the parameter information (original parameter information) of the laser cutting set by the technician, and determines the parameters that need to be adjusted according to the plate information and the original parameter information.

[0074] For example, it is assumed that the smoothness of the cutting surface is represented in percentage, and the cutting plate is carbon steel. After the laser cutting machine identifies the cutting plate as carbon steel through the cutting picture, it obtains the smoothness threshold corresponding to carbon steel set by the technician. It is assumed that the smoothness threshold is 90%. At the same time, the laser cutting machine can also identify the smoothness of the cutting surface according to the cutting picture. It is assumed that the smoothness of the cutting surface is 87%. The laser cutting machine can compare the smoothness of the cutting surface with the smoothness threshold, so as to obtain the result that the smoothness of the cutting surface is lower than the smoothness threshold. Then, according to the result, the laser cutting machine obtains the parameter information set by the technician, and checks whether the parameter values and the parameter types in the parameter information are appropriate based on the plate information, and takes the inappropriate parameters as the parameters to be adjusted.

[0075] Step S30: adjusting the values corresponding to the parameters to be adjusted in the parameter information to obtain new parameter information, and performing the laser cutting operation based on the new parameter information.

[0076] In the embodiment, after determining the parameters to be adjusted, the laser cutting machine adjusts the values corresponding to the parameters to be adjusted in the original parameter information, takes the adjusted original parameter information as new parameter information, and then performs the laser cutting operation based on the new parameter information, so that the laser cutting machine does not produce burrs when performing the laser cutting based on the adjusted values.

[0077] For example, it is assumed that the original parameter information includes the cutting line speed, the output power, and the gas pressure, and the parameter to be adjusted is the output power. The laser cutting machine adjusts the size of the output power based on the plate information, for example, increases the output power or decreases the output power, and takes the adjusted output power, the unadjusted cutting line speed, and the unadjusted gas pressure as new parameter information. The laser cutting machine performs the cutting operation based on the new parameter information, and burrs will not be produced in the cutting operation.

[0078] In the embodiment, the number of burrs is automatically identified by an algorithm stored in the image recognition unit, and when the number of burrs exceeds a threshold, the parameters preset by the technician are automatically adjusted according to the plate information, so that the effect of parameter self-adaptation to the plate can be realized, thereby improving the cutting efficiency of the laser cutting machine, and since the adjusted parameters will not cause burrs on the plate, the quality of the cut plate can also be improved.

[0079] Based on the first embodiment of the laser cutting supervision method of the present application, a second embodiment of the laser cutting supervision method of the present application is proposed.

[0080] In the embodiment, the step S10 of identifying the cutting information in the cutting picture by the image recognition unit comprises:

[0081] The step S101 of preprocessing the cutting picture comprises:

[0082] In the embodiment, since the picture collected by the industrial camera is a color picture, and the color picture is not convenient for the laser cutting machine to identify, after the image recognition unit receives the cutting picture, the cutting picture will be preprocessed to improve the accuracy of the laser cutting machine in identifying the cutting picture.

[0083] In a feasible embodiment, the preprocessing comprises grayscale processing and normalization processing, so that the step S101 of preprocessing the cutting picture comprises:

[0084] The step S1011 of grayscale processing the cutting picture to obtain a grayscale picture and normalizing the grayscale picture.

[0085] It should be noted that the grayscale processing is a process of processing the color picture into a black and white picture, and the normalization processing is a process of mapping the pixels in the pixel points in the cutting picture to the range of 【0, 1】.

[0086] In the embodiment, the cutting picture collected by the industrial camera has a large number of pixel points, and the pixel points have different colors, so that in order to facilitate the laser cutting machine to identify the burrs in the cutting picture, the laser cutting machine first performs grayscale processing on the cutting picture, converts various colors in the cutting picture into black, white and colors between black and white, and then performs normalization processing on the grayscale processed picture, and maps the pixels in the pixel points to the range of 【0, 1】.

[0087] Exemplarily, assuming that the pixel value of the industrial camera is 12 million, there are 1280x960 pixel points in the cutting picture photographed by the industrial camera, the laser cutting machine first performs grayscale processing on the 1280x960 pixel points respectively, so as to convert the colors in the 1280x960 pixel points to black, white and colors between black and white, and then converts the pixel values in the 1280x960 pixel points to the pixel range of 【0, 1】. It should be understood that, by the processing steps of grayscale processing and then normalization, the calculation amount of the laser cutting machine in the normalization processing can be effectively reduced.

[0088] Step S102: performing burr identification processing on the cutting picture after preprocessing by the image recognition unit to obtain burr information, and obtaining the cutting surface smoothness based on the burr information;

[0089] It should be noted that the image recognition unit also stores a machine learning algorithm model, and the burr identification processing is a process of convolution and classification based on the model.

[0090] As an example, a deep convolutional neural network model is stored in the image recognition unit, the image recognition unit inputs the cutting picture into the trained deep convolutional neural network model after grayscale processing and normalization processing on the cutting picture in sequence, and the deep convolutional neural network model obtains the burr information in the cutting picture through convolution, classification and other processing. In a feasible embodiment, the burr information can be judged according to the pixel point area and the pixel point color, and the laser cutting machine can determine the cutting surface smoothness based on the ratio of the area of the burrs in the burr information to the total area of the cutting picture.

[0091] Optionally, in a feasible embodiment, the step S10 of identifying the cutting information in the cutting picture by the image recognition unit further includes:

[0092] Step S103: obtaining a smooth area in the cutting picture by the image recognition unit, and performing plate identification processing on the smooth area to obtain plate information, wherein the smooth area is an area in the cutting picture that does not include the burr information.

[0093] It should be noted that the smooth area refers to other areas in the cutting picture except the cutting area, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 The cutting schematic diagram of an embodiment of the laser cutting supervision method of the application, wherein 1 represents a cutting area, and 2 represents a smooth area.

[0094] It needs to be understood that the board identification processing refers to a process of identifying the granularity (indicating the roughness of the board, for example, the roughness of wood is higher than that of titanium steel, so the granularity of wood is higher than that of titanium steel) and the reflectivity of the board in the cutting picture, and comparing the granularity and the reflectivity with the preset board information table, so as to determine the current cutting board information.

[0095] As an example, the image recognition unit can also identify the non-cutting area in the cutting picture based on the difference in pigments, and enlarge the non-cutting area, then perform the granularity identification processing (judging based on the area occupied by different pixel values, for example, the higher the pixel value of black belongs to, the lower the granularity is) and the reflectivity identification processing (identifying based on the pixel value, the higher the pixel value is, the higher the reflectivity is) on the enlarged non-cutting area, and compare the obtained granularity size and reflectivity value with the preset board information, so as to determine the current cutting board type.

[0096] In the embodiment, the application reduces the calculation amount when the laser cutting machine identifies burrs and boards by performing the grayscale and normalization processing on the cutting picture, and the scheme can also improve the accuracy of board identification by identifying burrs and granularity.

[0097] Further, based on the first and second embodiments of the laser cutting supervision method of the application, a third embodiment of the laser cutting supervision method of the application is proposed.

[0098] In the embodiment, the board information includes the board type and the board thickness, and the step S20 of determining the to-be-adjusted parameter according to the board information and the parameter information includes:

[0099] The step S201 of inputting the board type and the board thickness into the preset parameter correction model to obtain parameter correction information;

[0100] As an example, the parameter correction model is a machine learning algorithm model, after the parameter correction model is constructed, the laser cutting machine stores the board type, the board thickness and the cutting parameter in the historical cutting process as historical data, and trains the parameter correction model based on the historical data. After the parameter correction model is trained, the laser cutting machine inputs the board type and the board thickness to be cut into the parameter correction model, and outputs each parameter information of the parameter correction model as the parameter correction information.

[0101] As another example, in addition to being trained according to historical data, the parameter correction model can also be provided with a parameter correction rule, which can be set by the technician according to his own experience, so that the laser cutting machine can generate new parameter information based on the parameter correction rule after inputting the plate type and plate thickness into the parameter correction model, and use the new parameter information as the parameter correction information. For example, the parameter correction rule is: when cutting titanium steel, the output power is 5000W-7000W, then the parameter correction model can output the appropriate output power value based on this rule.

[0102] Step S202: Numerically compare the parameter correction information with the parameter information to obtain the to-be-adjusted parameter.

[0103] As an example, after obtaining the parameter correction information, the laser cutting machine will compare each value in the parameter correction information with each value in the parameter information set by the technician in advance based on the pre-set comparison rule, and use the parameter that does not meet the comparison rule as the to-be-adjusted parameter.

[0104] For example, assuming the comparison rule is: when cutting carbon steel, the auxiliary gas is nitrogen, if the auxiliary gas in the parameter correction information is nitrogen, and the auxiliary gas in the parameter information is oxygen, then the auxiliary gas is the to-be-adjusted parameter.

[0105] Optionally, in a possible embodiment, the step S202 of numerically comparing the parameter correction information with the parameter information to obtain the to-be-adjusted parameter comprises:

[0106] Step S2021: Extract each parameter name in the parameter information, and determine the first value corresponding to each parameter name in the parameter correction information, and determine the second value corresponding to each parameter name in the parameter information;

[0107] As an example, assuming that the parameter information is {{output power: 5000w}, {auxiliary gas: 01}, {cutting speed: 60 meters per minute}}, the parameter correction information is {{output power: 5000w}, {auxiliary gas: 01}, {cutting speed: 50 meters per minute}}, and the code 01 represents oxygen and the code 03 represents nitrogen, then the laser cutting machine will extract the parameter names in the parameter information, thereby obtaining the parameter names of output power, auxiliary gas and cutting speed, and then obtaining the first value corresponding to the output power as 5000w, the second value corresponding to the output power as 5000w, the first value corresponding to the auxiliary gas as 01, the second value corresponding to the output power as 01, the first value corresponding to the cutting speed as 50, and the second value corresponding to the cutting speed as 60.

[0108] Step S2022: performing numerical comparison on each of the first values and each of the second values to obtain comparison results, and determining the to-be-adjusted parameter based on the comparison results.

[0109] As an example, the laser cutting machine performs numerical comparison on the first value and the second value corresponding to each parameter name to obtain comparison results, wherein the comparison results store the parameter name with the same first value and second value, and the parameter name with different first value and second value, and then the laser cutting machine takes the parameter corresponding to the parameter name with different first value and second value as the to-be-adjusted parameter.

[0110] For example, assuming that the first value corresponding to the parameter name of cutting speed is 50 and the second value is 60, the laser cutting machine takes the parameter of cutting speed as the to-be-adjusted parameter.

[0111] Optionally, in an available embodiment, the step S30 of adjusting the value corresponding to the to-be-adjusted parameter in the parameter information to obtain new parameter information comprises:

[0112] Step S301: obtaining the first value corresponding to the to-be-adjusted parameter in the parameter correction information, and comparing the first value with a preset parameter threshold value.

[0113] It should be noted that the parameter threshold value is related to each hardware in the laser cutting machine. For example, the maximum cutting speed supported by each hardware in the laser cutting machine is 100 meters per minute, and the parameter threshold value corresponding to the parameter of cutting speed is 100.

[0114] As an example, assuming that the to-be-adjusted parameter is cutting speed, and the first value corresponding to the cutting speed is 60, the laser cutting machine compares the first value 60 with the parameter threshold value 100.

[0115] Step S302: if the first value does not exceed the parameter threshold value, adjusting the value corresponding to the to-be-adjusted parameter in the parameter information to the first value, and taking the adjusted parameter information as new parameter information.

[0116] As an example, when the first value of the to-be-adjusted parameter of cutting speed is 60 and the parameter threshold value is 100, the laser cutting machine can determine that the first value does not exceed the parameter threshold value, and adjusts the value corresponding to the cutting speed in the parameter information to 60, and takes the adjusted parameter information as new parameter information.

[0117] For example, the parameter information is {output power: 5000w}, {assist gas: 01}, {cutting speed: 60 meters per minute}, the parameter correction information is {output power: 5000w}, {assist gas: 01}, {cutting speed: 50 meters per minute}, and the parameter threshold of the cutting speed is 100, then the new parameter information of the laser cutting machine is {output power: 5000w}, {assist gas: 01}, {cutting speed: 50 meters per minute}.

[0118] In the embodiment, the application can reduce the probability of burr generation in laser cutting without exceeding the bearing range of the laser cutting machine, by obtaining the correction parameter corresponding to the plate material through the parameter correction model, determining the parameter to be adjusted based on the correction parameter and the original parameter information, and assigning the to-be-adjusted parameter in the original parameter information according to the comparison result of the correction parameter and the parameter threshold.

[0119] Further, based on the first, second and third embodiments of the laser cutting supervision method of the application, the fourth embodiment of the laser cutting supervision method of the application is proposed.

[0120] In the embodiment, the laser cutting machine further comprises a nozzle light outlet hole, and the method further comprises:

[0121] Step S40: detecting the coaxiality of the nozzle light outlet hole and the laser beam, and when the coaxiality is greater than or equal to a preset coaxiality threshold, performing the step of acquiring the parameter information of the laser cutting;

[0122] Step S50: when the coaxiality is less than the coaxiality threshold, adjusting the coaxiality to the coaxiality threshold, and performing the step of acquiring the parameter information of the laser cutting.

[0123] It should be noted that the burr in the laser cutting process may be caused by inaccurate parameter setting, or the coaxiality of the laser beam and the nozzle light outlet hole may not reach the preset standard. Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 The first coaxiality diagram of an embodiment of the laser cutting supervision method of the application, wherein 3 is the output range of the laser beam, and 4 is the aperture range of the nozzle light outlet hole. Since 3 and 4 are not completely coaxial, the output of the laser beam is not uniform, which may cause the appearance of burrs. Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 The second coaxiality diagram of an embodiment of the laser cutting supervision method of the application, in which Figure 5 5 is the output range of the laser beam, and 6 is the aperture range of the nozzle light outlet hole. Since 5 and 6 are completely coaxial, the output of the laser beam is uniform when the laser cutting machine is cutting, so that the appearance of burrs is avoided.

[0124] As an example, the laser cutting machine detects the coaxiality of the nozzle light hole and the laser beam before acquiring the parameter information to correct the parameter information. If the coaxiality is greater than or equal to the coaxiality threshold value set by the technician in advance, it indicates that the parameter is inaccurate, and the step of acquiring the parameter information is executed. If the coaxiality is less than the coaxiality threshold value, a prompt information needs to be output to inform the technician, and the coaxiality is adjusted to the coaxiality threshold value, and the step of acquiring the parameter information is executed after the adjustment is completed.

[0125] In this embodiment, the present application improves the intelligence of the laser cutting machine in dealing with burr phenomenon by detecting the coaxiality and adjusting the coaxiality when the coaxiality is less than the coaxiality threshold value.
