[0058] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides a laser automatic soldering method, comprising the following steps:

[0059] S10, when the operator inputs the soldering processing parameters through the display screen 5 and starts the power button, the protective cover 5 is opened, the workpiece to be soldered is installed, and the image information of whether the clamping of the workpiece to be soldered meets the requirements is obtained through the high-definition camera, and is transmitted to the welding parameter module;

[0060] S20, outputting soldering process parameters and soldering instructions to the three-dimensional control module through the welding parameter module according to the clamping completion information of the workpiece to be soldered;

[0061] S30, the three-dimensional control module drives the robot arm 3 to move to the target soldering position according to the laser soldering instruction, determines the soldering position point corresponding to the workpiece to be soldered, and transmits it to the welding head control module;

[0062] Further explanation, after the robot arm 3 is calibrated for the workpiece to be soldered and the target moving position is determined, the head 4 controls the robot arm 3 to move to the target soldering position to perform soldering operations on the workpiece to be soldered while waiting to receive the laser soldering instruction initiated by the operator; the three-dimensional control module controls the control motor to drive the front and rear moving frame 33 to move up and down in the slide groove 311 of the lifting frame 31 according to the welding process parameters, and at the same time drives the front and rear moving frame 33 to extend and retract forward and backward, and drives the head 4 to slide left and right in the groove 321 in the left and right moving frame 32, and controls the head 4 to move up and down, slide left and right, and extend and retract front and back within the maximum range to ensure that the solder head 42 reaches the soldering point at the set three-dimensional position.

[0063] See also Figure 2 , further illustrating that before "controlling the robot arm 3 to move to the target soldering position" in step S30, the following steps are also included:

[0064] S301, obtaining the three-dimensional reference coordinates in the three-dimensional model corresponding to the workpiece to be soldered and the solder point layout diagram corresponding to the soldering through the image acquisition module;

[0065] S302, determining the corresponding three-dimensional reference coordinates of the soldering operation trajectory diagram of each soldering point on the three-dimensional model through the three-dimensional control module;

[0066] S303, controlling the robot arm 3 to perform initial position calibration based on the three-dimensional reference coordinates through the welding head control module, and determining the target soldering position corresponding to the calibrated robot arm 3 according to the corresponding coordinates.

[0067] To further illustrate, by establishing a three-dimensional model of the product to be processed and ensuring that the coordinates of the three-dimensional model and the product to be processed are consistent, the three-dimensional reference coordinates of the three-dimensional model are used as the position calibration reference of the robot arm 3, and the corresponding coordinates of the solder point layout diagram simulated and drawn on the three-dimensional model are used as the target soldering position reference of the robot arm 3. After the position of the robot arm 3 is calibrated, when the welding head control module receives the laser soldering instruction, the robot arm 3 is controlled to move to the corresponding target soldering position for soldering.

[0068] See also Figure 3 , further explained, the step S30 of "determining the soldering position point corresponding to the workpiece to be soldered" also includes:

[0069] S31, obtaining image information of the workpiece to be soldered by a high-definition camera, and determining the number of solder points and / or the shape of solder points of the workpiece to be soldered;

[0070] S32, identifying the solder point layout area corresponding to the workpiece to be soldered according to the number of solder points and / or the shape of solder points through the image acquisition module.

[0071] To further illustrate, the identification of the workpiece to be soldered can be performed by using the high-definition camera 41 on the machine head 4 to obtain the number of solder points in the workpiece to be soldered and the actual image information of the solder points, and the image information is compared with the pre-stored solder quality standard image. When the actual image information is compared with the quality standard image information, if they are consistent, it is qualified; if they are inconsistent, re-soldering is performed according to the standard image.

[0072] To further illustrate, the pre-stored solder quality standard images include images corresponding to different solder points on different workpieces to be soldered.

[0073] It is further explained that the high-definition camera can shoot at a 360-degree angle, and can capture images of various solder points of the workpiece to be soldered from multiple different angles, identify different solder points of the workpiece to be soldered at different angles, and thus more accurately and comprehensively identify the solder points and shapes of the workpiece to be soldered, or based on obtaining multiple images of the solder points of the workpiece to be soldered taken from different angles, identify the workpiece to be soldered by multi-angle matching, and then determine the various solder points of the workpiece to be soldered.

[0074] To further illustrate, if the solder point positions of the workpieces to be soldered are different, the shapes corresponding to the solder point positions can be the same or different, the solder point positions of the workpieces to be soldered are different, the solder point position layout diagrams corresponding to the solder point positions can be the same or different, and the soldering processing parameters can be the same or different.

[0075] S40, the welding head control module controls the electric welding head to solder the workpiece to be soldered until the soldering is completed and transmitted to the high-definition camera;

[0076] See also Figure 4 , further illustrating that before executing step S40 "controlling the electric welding head to solder the workpiece to be soldered", the following steps are also included:

[0077] S41, obtaining the position corresponding to the solder point layout area map through the image acquisition module, and setting the soldering processing parameters through the welding parameter module;

[0078] S42, controlling the robot arm 3 to be placed at a corresponding position on the workpiece to be soldered according to the solder point and its soldering parameters through the three-dimensional control module;

[0079] S43, controlling the welding head control module to perform soldering processing on the soldering point layout area according to the soldering point layout diagram and the soldering processing parameters;

[0080] S44, after the laser soldering operation is completed through the high-definition camera, the next solder point area corresponding to the workpiece to be soldered is determined, and the step of obtaining the solder position points and soldering processing parameters corresponding to the solder point area is returned to execute until the soldering operation is completed in all solder point layout areas corresponding to the workpiece to be soldered.

[0081] To further illustrate, by determining the solder position points and their soldering processing parameters corresponding to all solder point layout areas of the workpiece to be soldered, the robot arm 3 is controlled to place them on the workpiece to be soldered according to the solder position points and their soldering parameters, so that the solder position points and their soldering processing parameters perform soldering operations on the solder position point layout areas, thereby completing laser soldering operations on all solder position point layout areas corresponding to the workpiece to be soldered, and there is no need to manually place each solder position point layout area corresponding to the workpiece to be soldered one by one. By controlling the robot arm 3 to place them on the workpiece to be soldered according to the solder position points and their soldering processing parameters corresponding to the solder position point layout areas, the solder head can automatically perform continuous soldering on each solder position point layout area of ​​the workpiece to be soldered until the laser soldering operation is completed on all solder position point layout areas corresponding to the workpiece to be soldered.

[0082] It is further explained that the control of the robot arm 3 to move to the target solder point position, wherein the robot arm 3 maintains the posture after position calibration during the movement, also includes: obtaining the solder processing parameters generated after the solder position point layout diagram is drawn on the three-dimensional model; controlling the laser head to perform soldering on the workpiece to be soldered according to the solder processing parameters.

[0083] It is further explained that after the soldering head calibrates the robot arm 3 and determines the target soldering position point of the robot arm 3, it controls the robot arm 3 to move to the target soldering position point when receiving the laser soldering instruction. When the robot arm 3 moves to the target soldering position point, the laser head obtains the soldering processing parameters generated after the soldering position point layout diagram is drawn on the three-dimensional model, so as to perform soldering on the workpiece to be soldered on the clamping table 2 according to the soldering processing parameters.

[0084] Further explanation, the solder processing parameters include solder position points, solder output power and solder time corresponding to each solder position point; the solder head 42 moves between each solder position point according to the solder time and with the solder output power, thereby completing the processing of the workpiece to be soldered.

[0085] It is further explained that after the solder head 42 is aligned with each position point of the workpiece to be soldered, the soldering operation is performed on the workpiece to be soldered, thereby realizing the processing of the workpiece to be soldered, shortening the device debugging time, and reducing the difficulty of alignment between the workpiece to be soldered and the solder head.

[0086] To further illustrate, all solder point layout areas of the workpiece to be soldered correspond to the solder position point layout areas and their soldering processing parameters respectively, and the robot arm 3 is controlled to be placed on the workpiece to be soldered according to the solder position points, so that the solder position point layout area is opposite to the solder head 42, so that the solder head 42 performs laser soldering operation on the solder position point layout area according to the solder position point layout diagram and its soldering processing parameters, thereby completing the laser soldering operation for all solder position point layout area diagrams corresponding to the workpiece to be soldered, and there is no need to manually place each solder position point layout area corresponding to the processed product one by one. By controlling the robot arm 3 to place the workpiece to be soldered according to the solder position point layout area and its soldering processing parameters, the solder head 42 can automatically and continuously solder each solder position point layout area of ​​the workpiece to be soldered, thereby realizing automated and intelligent soldering and improving the soldering work efficiency.

[0087] S50, acquiring image information of the completed soldering points and soldering quality on the workpiece to be soldered by a high-definition camera, and transmitting the image information to an image acquisition module;

[0088] S60, the image acquisition module identifies the number of solder points and the quality of the solder according to the image information of the completed solder points and the solder quality on the workpiece to be soldered, and transmits it to the control center;

[0089] S70, the control center compares the actual soldering points and soldering quality with the soldering distribution points and soldering quality standards stored in the memory: if they are consistent, the machine is shut down; if they are inconsistent, the alarm is transmitted to the alarm and the welding parameter module is notified to continue soldering until the soldering is qualified.

[0090] Please refer to Figure 5 The present invention also provides a laser automatic soldering control system, comprising: a high-definition camera, an image acquisition module, a welding parameter module, a three-dimensional control module, a welding head control module, a wireless communication module, an alarm, a memory, a control center, and a smart phone; the high-definition camera, the image acquisition module, the welding parameter module, the three-dimensional control module, the welding head control module, the wireless communication module, the alarm, and the memory are respectively connected to the control center; the smart phone is automatically networked with the wireless communication module through the Internet of Things or the Internet within the scope of the Internet of Things or the Internet.

[0091] When the actual soldering points and soldering quality are inconsistent with the stored soldering distribution points and soldering quality standards, the alarm automatically sounds an alarm and transmits it to the welding parameter module.

[0092] The memory is responsible for storing information of the high-definition camera, the image acquisition module, the welding parameter module, the three-dimensional control module, the welding head control module, and the solder distribution points and the solder quality standards.

[0093] The wireless communication module is provided with an Internet of Things module, which can automatically form a network within the scope of the Internet of Things or the Internet, and connect to the wireless network of a smart phone, and is responsible for sending and receiving wireless network signals.

[0094] The high-definition camera is responsible for obtaining image information of whether the clamping of the workpiece to be soldered meets the requirements and the completed solder points on the workpiece and their soldering quality, and transmits it to the welding parameter module or the image acquisition module.

[0095] The image acquisition module identifies the information of the number of solder points and the quality of the solder based on the image information of the completed solder points and the solder quality on the workpiece to be soldered, and transmits it to the welding parameter module or the control center.

[0096] The welding parameter module outputs the soldering process parameters to the three-dimensional control module according to the clamping completion information of the workpiece to be soldered.

[0097] The control center is responsible for information transmission among the high-definition camera, image acquisition module, welding parameter module, three-dimensional control module, and welding head control module. It is the hub of the system and compares the actual solder points and their solder quality with the stored solder distribution points and their solder quality standards. If they are consistent, the machine will be shut down; if they are inconsistent, the information will be transmitted to the alarm and notified to the welding parameter module.

[0098] To further explain, the solder quality standards include: 1) Solder material quality standards: Solder materials are generally composed of metal alloys such as tin, copper, zinc, and nickel in different proportions as the main components. The higher the tin content, the better the welding quality. This is the premise for purchasing solder materials and is not included in the inspection standards after soldering; 2) Environmental performance quality standards: Environmental requirements for solder. Solders that meet relevant environmental protection standards in terms of lead-free rate, toxic substance content, and volatile organic compound content will be certified. This is also the premise for purchasing solder material requirements and is not included in the inspection standards after soldering; 3) Appearance surface quality standards: The appearance of solder points should be neat and free of impurities, smooth surface, no oxidation, deformation or cracks and other defects; 4) Welding performance quality standards: The solder joint molding should be flat, free of holes and cracks, the weld should generally meet the specified model and diameter requirements, and the solder joint strength and resistance value of the solder should meet the corresponding national standards or customer requirements.

[0099] The three-dimensional control module controls the position change of the welding head by controlling the up-down, left-right, and front-back position movement of the lifting frame 3, the left-right movable frame 4, and the front-back movable frame 5, and transmits it to the welding head control module.

[0100] The welding head control module is responsible for the specific processing of the soldering by the welding head until the soldering is completed and transmitted to the high-definition camera.

[0101] How the system works:
