[0084] The above technical solution can be understood through the following technical ideas:
[0085] (1) Obtaining the first real-time image: Use a camera module to capture a real-time image of the steel strip before the first laser cutting.
[0086] (2) Scanning and analyzing the steel strip head features: The steel strip head features in the first real-time image are analyzed to determine their differences from the standard steel strip head features.
[0087] (3) Constructing the first laser cutting strategy: Based on the first difference feature, a preset cutting drive model is used to generate a strategy for the first laser cutting.
[0088] (4) First laser cutting: Using the first laser cutting strategy, drive the laser cutting mechanism to perform the first laser cutting on the steel strip head.
[0089] (5) Obtaining a second real-time image: After the first laser cutting, a second real-time image of the steel strip is captured using a camera module.
[0090] (6) Determine the quality of the first cutting: Analyze the steel strip head features in the second real-time image to determine the quality of the first laser cutting.
[0091] (7) Determine whether to perform a second laser cutting: Based on the first cutting quality evaluation, determine whether a second laser cutting is required. If necessary, generate a second laser cutting strategy.
[0092] (8) Second laser cutting: Using the second laser cutting strategy, the laser cutting mechanism is driven again to perform a second laser cutting on the steel strip head.
[0093] (9) Obtaining a third real-time image: After the second laser cutting, a third real-time image of the steel strip is captured using the camera module.
[0094] (10) Relative movement and laser welding: According to the position information of the steel strip head in the third real-time image, the motion loading mechanism is driven to perform relative movement until the steel strip head is butted. Then, according to the preset first laser welding strategy, the laser welding mechanism is driven to perform laser welding on the joint of the steel strip head.
[0095] (11) Obtaining a fourth real-time image: After the laser welding is completed, a fourth real-time image of the steel strip is captured using the camera module.
[0096] (12) Correcting welding strategy: Performing a first welding quality evaluation on the steel strip weld in the fourth real-time image, and correcting the first laser welding strategy based on the evaluation result to ensure that the welding quality meets the requirements.
[0097] In some embodiments of the present application, a method for determining a first difference feature between a steel strip head feature and a standard steel strip head feature includes:
[0098] In the first step, a reference map is constructed for the image captured by the camera, wherein the reference map is divided into steel strip mapping blocks for the steel strip.
[0099] In the second step, the first real-time image is aligned with the reference mapping image, a first block corresponding to the steel strip mapping block is determined in the first real-time image, and a first edge line of the steel strip head is delineated in the first block based on edge detection technology.
[0100] In the third step, the difference feature between the first edge line and the standard edge line preset in the standard steel strip head feature is the first difference feature.
[0101] The above technical solution can be understood through the following technical ideas:
[0102] (1) Step 1 - Build a reference map: In this step, the system uses the images captured by the camera to create a reference map. This map is usually used to associate the content in the image with the physical object for subsequent processing. In this map, the steel strip is usually divided into multiple blocks, each of which may represent a different part or feature.
[0103] (2) Step 2 - Align the image and identify the steel strip head block: In this step, the system uses the reference map to align the first real-time image with the reference map to ensure that the content in the image corresponds to the physical location. Then, the system identifies the first block associated with the steel strip head. This block usually contains the image information of the steel strip head.
[0104] (3) Step 3 - Calculate the first difference feature: In the first block, the system uses edge detection technology to identify the edge line of the steel strip head. The system then compares this detected edge line with the standard edge line in the preset standard steel strip head feature. The difference feature represents the difference between the detected edge line and the standard edge line, which can be used to evaluate the shape, size or other features of the steel strip head.
[0105] In some embodiments of the present application, based on the first difference feature, a method for constructing a first laser cutting strategy by a preset cutting drive model includes:
[0106] In the first step, a virtual cutting line is constructed based on the vertical direction of the extension direction of the steel strip head, and the virtual cutting line is pushed along the extension direction of the steel strip head to the edgemost convex point of the first edge line and then continues to push a preset distance to reach the trial point.
[0107] In the second step, if there is a protruding block that needs to be eliminated and is larger than a preset area in the protruding block surrounded by the first edge line, the virtual cutting line is relocated to the protruding point on the outermost edge.
[0108] In the third step, if there is no protruding block larger than a preset area to be eliminated in the protruding blocks enclosed by the first edge line, the virtual cutting line is positioned at the trial point.
[0109] The fourth step is to determine the virtual cutting line as the cutting line for laser cutting.
[0110] In order to facilitate the understanding of the above technical solution, it can be understood through the following technical ideas:
[0111] (1) Step 1 - Constructing a virtual cutting line: First, a virtual cutting line is constructed according to the extension direction of the steel strip head. This virtual cutting line is usually a line segment perpendicular to the extension direction of the steel strip head. Then, this virtual cutting line is advanced along the extension direction of the steel strip head until it reaches the convex point position on the edge side of the first edge line, and then continues to advance a certain preset distance to reach the trial point.
[0112] (2) Step 2 - Detecting protruding areas to be eliminated: There may be protruding areas between the virtual cutting line and the first edge line, which are parts that need to be cut to match the standard. In this step, the system checks the area between the virtual cutting line and the first edge line to determine whether there are protruding areas that need to be eliminated that are larger than a preset area.
[0113] (3) Step 3 - Reposition the virtual cutting line: If there is a protruding area that needs to be eliminated, the virtual cutting line needs to be repositioned to ensure that it is located at the edge of the protruding point. This is to ensure that the protruding area is completely removed during cutting.
[0114] (4) Step 4 - Determine the cutting line: Finally, once the virtual cutting line is positioned at the correct position, it is determined as the cutting line for laser cutting. This cutting line will guide the laser cutting mechanism to cut the steel strip head to meet the preset requirements.
[0115] In some embodiments of the present application, a method for determining a first cutting quality evaluation of a first laser cutting based on a scanning analysis result includes:
[0116] In the first step, a reference mapping diagram is constructed for the image taken by the camera. The reference mapping diagram divides the steel strip into steel strip mapping blocks, and a reference mapping line is constructed for the width direction of the steel strip mapping block. A number of reference nodes are set on the reference mapping line.
[0117] In the second step, the first real-time image is aligned with the reference mapping image, a first block corresponding to the steel strip mapping block is determined in the first real-time image, and a first edge line of the steel strip head is delineated in the first block based on edge detection technology.
[0118] The third step is to construct a first edge point at a position corresponding to the reference node on the first edge line, and analyze the difference characteristics between the first edge point and the standard edge point in the standard steel strip head feature.
[0119] The fourth step is to determine the first cutting quality evaluation based on the difference characteristics between the first edge point and the standard edge point.
[0120] In some embodiments of the present application, the expression for calculating the first quality evaluation is:

[0126] The third step is to grayscale the fourth real-time image, set a number of grayscale detection points in the weld area between the weld edges, and calculate the average grayscale value corresponding to all the grayscale detection points.
[0127] In the fourth step, based on the difference between the average gray value and the preset gray value, the gray value difference is identified as the second welding quality reference indicator.
[0128] The fifth step is to determine the first welding quality evaluation based on the first welding quality reference index and the second welding quality reference index.
[0129] In some embodiments of the present application, the expression for calculating the first welding quality evaluation is:
