[0002] With the continuous advancement of science and technology, people's requirements for welding quality and efficiency are constantly increasing. Fully digital gas-shielded welding machines have advantages such as low spatter, low heat input, aesthetically pleasing weld beads, and deep weld penetration; therefore, their application is becoming increasingly widespread.

[0003] Currently, in the process of short-circuit welding, in order to maintain the stability of the electric arc, it is necessary to keep the short-circuit transition as smooth and uniform as possible. However, in the actual welding process, due to external factors such as base material, welding material, and shielding gas, the rhythm of droplet transfer is easily disrupted, resulting in instantaneous short circuit or long-term arc burning, which leads to unstable electric arc and poor weld formation.

[0039] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Through these descriptions, the features and advantages of the present application will become clearer and more apparent.

[0040] The term “exemplary” as used herein means “serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration.” Any embodiment illustrated herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as superior to or better than other embodiments. Although various aspects of embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated otherwise.

[0041] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0042] To facilitate understanding, the application scenarios of the technical solution in this application will be introduced first.

[0043] With the continuous advancement of science and technology, people's requirements for welding quality and efficiency are constantly increasing. Fully digital gas shielded welding machines offer advantages such as low spatter, low heat input, aesthetically pleasing weld beads, and deep weld penetration, leading to their increasingly widespread application. Among these advantages, the fully digital welding machine provides more precise control over the waveform at each stage, from droplet formation to detachment.

[0044] The inventors discovered in specific applications and research that in order to maintain the stability of the electric arc during short-circuit welding, it is necessary to keep the short-circuit transition as smooth and uniform as possible. However, in the actual welding process, due to external factors such as base material, welding material, and shielding gas, the rhythm of droplet transition is easily disrupted, resulting in instantaneous short circuits or prolonged arc burning, leading to unstable electric arc and poor weld formation.

[0045] It should be noted that momentary short circuits generally occur with high welding currents, especially in CO2 welding. The rhythm of the short circuit transition is disrupted, spatter increases, the arc becomes unstable, and welding defects are formed, thus affecting the welding quality. Set screws generally occur when the electrode is not preheated or after prolonged use, leading to severe electrode wear and affecting welding quality. Prolonged arc burning is generally prone to occur during the arc initiation stage with low to medium welding currents. It manifests as discontinuous arc initiation. High-speed imaging can clearly show that the large molten ball at the end of the welding wire cannot fall off smoothly and wobbles from side to side, causing large welding spatter and forming discontinuous weld beads. Continuous short circuits generally occur when the arc voltage is too high or the welding current is too large during the welding process.

[0046] During short-circuit welding, any of the above-mentioned abnormal phenomena will affect the welding quality. Therefore, this application proposes a short-circuit welding method that, while ensuring arc stability, can also avoid phenomena such as instantaneous short-circuit anomalies, set wire anomalies, prolonged arc burning anomalies, and continuous short-circuit anomalies, thereby improving welding quality. Furthermore, this application uses the detection result of any welding cycle (hereinafter referred to as the first welding cycle) during short-circuit welding, and adjusts the next welding cycle of the first welding cycle as an example to illustrate an embodiment of the welding method of this application.

[0047] The short-circuit welding method provided in the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a short-circuit welding method provided in an embodiment of this application. This method can be applied to terminal equipment or controllers installed in a welding system. The following description uses a controller installed in a welding system (hereinafter referred to as the controller) as an example to illustrate an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the method may include the following steps: Step S101: After the first welding cycle begins, the arc voltage is monitored in real time during the short-circuit welding process.

[0049] The first welding cycle refers to any welding cycle within the short-circuit welding process. Each welding cycle includes multiple short-circuit stages and multiple arc-ignition stages. Optionally, the galvanic arc protected short-circuit welding process (referred to as the short-circuit welding process) primarily alternates between short-circuit and arc-ignition stages. By setting short-circuit and arc-ignition judgment values, and comparing the real-time detected arc voltage with these values, the controller can effectively manage the alternation between the short-circuit and arc-ignition stages, thereby maintaining arc stability.

[0050] In one possible implementation, during normal short-circuit welding, when the arc voltage is less than the short-circuit judgment value, the controller control system performs short-circuit stage processing and outputs constant current; when the arc voltage is greater than the arc ignition judgment value, the controller control system performs arc ignition stage processing and outputs constant voltage.

[0051] Optionally, due to the influence of uncontrollable factors in actual welding scenarios, set wire abnormalities may occur during the short-circuit phase, and transient short-circuit abnormalities, prolonged arcing abnormalities, and continuous short-circuit abnormalities may occur during the arcing phase. Therefore, during short-circuit welding, it is necessary to monitor the arc voltage in real time, and determine whether transient short-circuit abnormalities, set wire abnormalities, prolonged arcing abnormalities, or continuous short-circuit abnormalities have occurred in the first welding cycle based on the arc voltage monitoring results.

[0052] Specifically, the implementation method can be as follows: determine whether a set screw abnormality occurs during the short circuit stage, and determine whether a momentary short circuit abnormality, a long-term arcing abnormality, or a continuous short circuit abnormality occurs during the arcing stage.

[0053] Step S102: Based on the detection results of the arc voltage, determine whether a momentary short circuit abnormality, set wire abnormality, long-term arc burning abnormality, or continuous short circuit abnormality occurs in the first welding cycle.

[0054] In one possible implementation, if the short-circuit phase in the first welding cycle is a normal short-circuit phase, then after each short-circuit detection, the absolute value of the difference between the duration of the short-circuit phase and the duration of the standard short-circuit phase is less than or equal to a first preset threshold. The first preset threshold can be set according to the requirements of the actual welding scenario.

[0055] Optionally, if during the short-circuit phase, it is detected that the arc voltage is less than the short-circuit threshold for a certain duration, a setter malfunction may occur. Further, the occurrence of a setter malfunction can be determined based on the duration of the arc voltage being less than the short-circuit threshold and the duration of the standard short-circuit phase.

[0056] In one possible implementation, if the arc-ignition phase in the first welding cycle is a normal arc-ignition phase, then after each arc detection, the absolute value of the difference between the duration of the arc-ignition phase and the duration of the standard arc-ignition phase is less than or equal to a second preset threshold. The second preset threshold can be set according to the needs of the actual welding scenario.

[0057] Optionally, if during the arcing phase, it is detected that the arc voltage is lower than the short-circuit threshold for a certain duration, a transient short-circuit anomaly may occur. Further, the occurrence of a transient short-circuit anomaly can be determined based on the duration of the arc voltage being lower than the short-circuit threshold and the duration of the standard short-circuit phase.

[0058] Optionally, during the arcing phase, prolonged arcing anomalies and continuous short circuits may also occur. The occurrence of prolonged arcing anomalies and continuous short circuits can be further determined by comparing the duration of the arcing phase with that of the standard arcing phase.

[0059] By detecting the arc voltage, it can be determined whether any abnormal phenomena such as transient short circuit, set wire abnormality, prolonged arc burning abnormality, or continuous short circuit abnormality occur during the first welding cycle. If any of these abnormal phenomena are detected during the first welding cycle, the controller needs to be adjusted for the next welding cycle to ensure arc stability and reduced spatter.

[0060] In one possible implementation, once the arcing stage is determined, then according to... Figure 2 The method shown determines whether a transient short circuit anomaly occurs during the arcing phase.

[0061] Step S201: After each arc detection, when the detected arc voltage is less than the short circuit judgment value, a short circuit is determined to have occurred, and the duration of the current short circuit is recorded.

[0062] In the first welding cycle, which includes multiple arc-ignition stages, each stage may experience multiple short-circuit events, meaning the arc voltage may fall below the short-circuit threshold multiple times. Therefore, after each arc detection, i.e., after entering the arc-ignition stage, it is necessary to record the duration of the short circuit where the detected arc voltage is below the short-circuit threshold in real time, to further determine whether the current short circuit is an instantaneous short circuit.

[0063] Step S202: If the difference between the duration of the short circuit and the duration of the standard short circuit phase is less than the negative of the first preset threshold, it is determined that an instantaneous short circuit has occurred.

[0064] In one possible implementation, the duration 'a' of multiple short-circuit stages is pre-collected during normal short-circuit welding. 0 、 a 1、 a 2、 a3……a n And calculate the average duration of multiple short-circuit phases, sht(avg) = (a0 + a1 + ... + a n The average duration of these multiple short-circuit stages, sht(avg), is recorded as the duration of the standard short-circuit stage. The duration of the standard short-circuit stage is stored in a register to facilitate the determination of whether an instantaneous short-circuit anomaly occurs during actual short-circuit welding. The duration of the standard short-circuit stage can be a fixed value or any value within a range, depending on the base material, gas, and welding wire diameter. The specific value can be selected according to the actual application scenario, and this application does not impose any specific limitations on it.

[0065] Optionally, during short-circuit welding, after arc detection, if the arc voltage is less than the short-circuit judgment value, a short circuit is determined to have occurred. If the absolute value of the difference between the duration of the current short circuit and the duration of the standard short circuit stage is less than or equal to a first preset threshold, the system determines that the current short circuit is a normal short circuit stage, and the controller controls the output of the short circuit stage, switching from constant voltage output to constant current output.

[0066] Optionally, during short-circuit welding, and after arc detection, if the arc voltage detection result is less than the short-circuit judgment value, a short circuit is determined to have occurred. If the difference between the duration of the current short circuit and the duration of the standard short circuit stage is less than the negative of the first preset threshold, then an instantaneous short circuit is determined to have occurred.

[0067] In one possible implementation, since a single transient short circuit during short-circuit welding has little impact on the overall weld, it can be ignored. Therefore, there is no need to adjust the initial arc current and duration, or the waveform coefficient of the arc current, in the next welding cycle after the first welding cycle. Only when the number of transient short circuits reaches a certain threshold will it affect the weld. Optionally, when the number of transient short circuits in the first welding cycle reaches a certain threshold, a transient short circuit anomaly is further identified in the first welding cycle, and whether it is a transient short circuit anomaly is further determined according to step S203 below.

[0068] Step S203: If the number of instantaneous short circuits occurring in the first welding cycle is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, an instantaneous short circuit anomaly is determined to have occurred in the first welding cycle.

[0069] For example, at the start of the first welding cycle, the current number of instantaneous short circuits is 0. Each time an arc is detected, if the arc voltage is less than the short circuit threshold and the difference between the short circuit duration and the standard short circuit duration is less than the negative of a first preset threshold, then an instantaneous short circuit is determined to have occurred. Here, the preset threshold number is set to N0, and the actual number of instantaneous short circuits occurring within the first welding cycle is recorded as N. 01 If N 01 If the value is greater than or equal to N0, indicating a transient short-circuit anomaly during the first welding cycle, then adjustments need to be made to the initial arc current and duration, as well as the waveform coefficient of the arc current, in the next welding cycle. The preset threshold quantity can be set according to the requirements of the actual application scenario.

[0070] Optionally, if N 01If the value is less than N0, it is determined that there is no transient short circuit abnormality in the first welding cycle. Therefore, it is not necessary to adjust the current and duration of the arc in the initial stage of the next welding cycle, as well as the waveform coefficient of the arc current.

[0071] In other words, when the number of transient short circuits is within a controllable range, the controller does not need to adjust the next welding cycle after the first welding cycle, which helps to improve welding efficiency.

[0072] Optionally, when a transient short-circuit anomaly is determined to occur during the first welding cycle, the next welding cycle of the first welding cycle is adjusted in accordance with the manner shown in step S103.

[0073] Step S103: If a transient short circuit occurs during the first welding cycle, adjust the current and duration of the arc in the initial stage of the next welding cycle, as well as the waveform coefficient of the arc current.

[0074] In one possible implementation, the current and duration of the arc in the initial stage of the next welding cycle of the first welding cycle, as well as the waveform coefficient of the arc current, are adjusted based on the following relationship: SPI1=A1* N0+B1[a n1 -sht(avg)] +SPI0; SPT1 = A2 * N0 + B2[a n1 -sht(avg)] +SPT0; KI1 = KI0 + C0; Where A1, B1, A2, B2, and C0 are constants, SPI0 is the current at the initial stage of arc ignition in the first welding cycle, SPI1 is the current at the initial stage of arc ignition in the next welding cycle, SPT0 is the duration of the initial stage of arc ignition in the first welding cycle, SPT1 is the duration of the initial stage of arc ignition in the next welding cycle, KI0 is the waveform coefficient of the arc current in the first welding cycle, KI1 is the waveform coefficient of the arc current in the next welding cycle, N0 is the number of instantaneous short circuits occurring in the first welding cycle, and N0 is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. n1 sht(avg) is the average duration of the transient short circuit that occurs during the first welding cycle, and sht(avg) is the duration of the standard short circuit phase.

[0075] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating waveform adjustment for a transient short circuit, provided as an embodiment of this application. Figure 3It can be seen that the instantaneous short circuit occurs during the arc-ignition stage. The solid line shows the initial arc-ignition current SPI'0 and its duration T'0 in the first welding cycle, as well as the waveform coefficient KI'0 of the arc-ignition current, representing the welding parameters before adjustment. The dashed line shows the initial arc-ignition current SPI'1 and its duration T'1 in the next welding cycle after the first welding cycle, as well as the waveform coefficient KI'1 of the arc-ignition current, representing the welding parameters after adjustment. Because the difference between the duration of the short circuit occurring during the arc-ignition stage and the duration of the standard short circuit stage in the first welding cycle is less than the negative of the first preset threshold, an instantaneous short circuit occurs in the first welding cycle. If the number of instantaneous short circuits occurring in the first welding cycle is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, then in the next welding cycle after the adjustment, the initial arc-ignition current SPI'1 is increased compared to the initial SPI'0, and the initial arc-ignition duration SPT'1 is longer compared to the initial SPT'0, effectively preventing anomalies in the instantaneous short circuit in the next welding cycle after the first welding cycle. in, Figure 3 This is merely an exemplary waveform adjustment diagram for a momentary short circuit in this application and is not intended to be specific.

[0076] By adjusting the initial arc current and duration, as well as the waveform coefficient of the arc current, in the next welding cycle following the first welding cycle, the problems of arc instability, excessive spatter, and poor weld formation caused by high-current instantaneous short circuits in short-circuit welding are effectively solved. This reduces the occurrence of instantaneous short-circuit anomalies, ensures arc stability after adjustment, and reduces spatter. Furthermore, it avoids instantaneous short-circuit anomalies, effectively ensuring uniform short-circuit transition and improving welding quality.

[0077] Optionally, during short-circuit welding, the duration of the arc voltage being less than the short-circuit threshold and the duration of the standard short-circuit stage can be used to determine whether a set screw abnormality has occurred. In one possible implementation, once the first short-circuit stage is determined, then... Figure 4 The method shown is used to determine whether the first short-circuit stage is due to a set screw abnormality.

[0078] Step S301: After the first welding cycle begins, if there is a first short circuit stage in the first welding cycle, it is determined that an abnormality of the set screw has occurred in the first welding cycle.

[0079] The first short circuit stage refers to the stage after short circuit detection, where the arc voltage is detected to be less than the short circuit judgment value, and the difference between the duration of the arc voltage being less than the short circuit judgment value and the duration of the standard short circuit stage is greater than a first preset threshold.

[0080] In other words, the set screw malfunction occurred during the short circuit phase.

[0081] See Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a waveform diagram illustrating a set screw abnormality provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 It can be seen that the set screw abnormality occurs during the short circuit stage. Specifically, during the first short circuit stage, the voltage and current of the set screw abnormality are abnormally unstable, leading to instability in the welding arc. Figure 5 This is merely an exemplary waveform diagram of a set screw abnormality in this application and is not intended to be specific.

[0082] Since a single transient short circuit during short-circuit welding has little impact on the weld, a transient short circuit anomaly requires the number of transient short circuits occurring within the first welding cycle to be greater than or equal to a preset threshold. In contrast, a single setter anomaly, even a minor one, can have a significant impact on the weld. Therefore, if a setter anomaly is confirmed to have occurred within the first welding cycle, the arc voltage setting for the next welding cycle must be adjusted.

[0083] Step S104: If a set wire malfunction occurs during the first welding cycle, adjust the given value of the arc voltage in the next welding cycle of the first welding cycle.

[0084] In one possible implementation, if a set screw malfunction occurs during the first welding cycle, the given value of the arc voltage in the next welding cycle is adjusted based on the following relationship: U 调整 = D1[a n2 -sht(avg)]+ U 给定 ; Where D1 is a constant, U 给定 U is the given value of the arc voltage in the first welding cycle. 调整 a is the given value of the arc voltage in the next welding cycle after the first welding cycle. n2 sht(avg) represents the duration during which the arc voltage is less than the short-circuit threshold during the first short-circuit phase, and sht(avg) represents the duration of the standard short-circuit phase.

[0085] By adjusting the setpoint of the arc voltage in the next welding cycle after the first welding cycle, the problems of arc instability, large spatter, and poor weld formation caused by high-current instantaneous short circuits in short-circuit welding are effectively solved. This reduces the occurrence of set wire abnormalities, ensures arc stability after adjustment, and lowers spatter. Furthermore, it avoids set wire abnormalities, effectively ensuring uniform short-circuit transition and improving welding quality.

[0086] During gas metal arc welding, not only instantaneous short circuit anomalies and set wire anomalies can disrupt the droplet detachment rhythm, leading to arc instability and increased spatter, but prolonged arc anomalies or continuous short circuit anomalies can also disrupt the droplet detachment rhythm. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether prolonged arc anomalies or continuous short circuit anomalies exist in the first welding cycle based on the arc voltage detection results.

[0087] Optionally, during short-circuit welding, after arc detection is determined based on the arc voltage detection result, if the absolute value of the difference between the duration of the arcing phase and the duration of the standard arcing phase is greater than a second preset threshold, it may indicate a prolonged arcing anomaly or a continuous short-circuit anomaly. In one possible implementation, according to... Figure 6 The method shown determines whether a prolonged arcing anomaly occurs during the first welding cycle.

[0088] It should be noted that the method for determining whether a continuous short-circuit anomaly has occurred can be implemented according to... Figure 8 The method shown will not be explained in detail here.

[0089] Step S401: After the first welding cycle begins, if there is a first arcing stage in the first welding cycle, it is determined that a long-term arcing abnormality has occurred in the first welding cycle.

[0090] The first arc-burning stage refers to the arc-burning stage in which the difference between the duration of the first arc-burning stage and the duration of the standard arc-burning stage is greater than the second preset threshold. In other words, the difference between the duration of the first arc-burning stage and the duration of the standard arc-burning stage is greater than the second preset threshold.

[0091] In one possible implementation, the duration b of multiple arc-burning stages is pre-collected during normal short-circuit welding. 0 、 b 1、 b 2、 b3……b n And calculate the average duration of multiple arcing stages arc(avg) = (b0 + b1 + ... + b n The average duration of these multiple arc-burning stages, arc(avg), is recorded as the duration of the standard arc-burning stage. The duration of the standard arc-burning stage is stored in a register to facilitate the determination of whether prolonged arc-burning abnormalities occur during actual short-circuit welding. The duration of the standard arc-burning stage can be a fixed value or any value within a range, depending on the base material, gas, and welding wire diameter; this application does not impose specific limitations on it.

[0092] See Figure 7 , Figure 7This is a waveform diagram illustrating a prolonged arcing anomaly provided in an embodiment of this application. In the first arcing stage, if the difference between the duration of the first arcing stage and the duration of the standard arcing stage is greater than a second preset threshold, then a prolonged arcing anomaly is determined to have occurred in the first welding cycle.

[0093] In one possible implementation, during short-circuit welding, if the absolute value of the difference between the duration of the arcing phase and the duration of the standard arcing phase is less than or equal to a second preset threshold after arc detection, the system determines that the current arcing is a normal arcing and there is no need to adjust the next welding cycle of the first welding cycle.

[0094] Since prolonged arcing anomalies have a significant impact on the weld, if a prolonged arcing anomaly occurs during the first welding cycle, the next welding cycle needs to be adjusted. In one possible implementation, if a prolonged arcing anomaly occurs during the first welding cycle, the next welding cycle is adjusted according to step S105 below.

[0095] Step S105: If a prolonged arcing abnormality occurs during the first welding cycle, adjust the arcing reference voltage and arcing voltage slope in the next welding cycle of the first welding cycle.

[0096] In one possible implementation, the arc reference voltage and arc voltage slope are adjusted in the next welding cycle of the first welding cycle based on the following relationship: U1 = A3*[b] n1 - arc(avg)]+ U0+B3; KU1= A4* [ b n1 - arc(avg)]+ KU0+B4; Where A3, B3, A4, and B4 are constants, U0 is the arc reference voltage for the first welding cycle, KU0 is the arc voltage slope for the first welding cycle, U1 is the arc reference voltage for the next welding cycle, and KU1 is the arc voltage slope for the next welding cycle. n1 is the duration of the first arcing phase, and arc(avg) is the duration of the standard arcing phase.

[0097] By adjusting the arc reference voltage and arc voltage slope in the next welding cycle after the first welding cycle, the problem of poor weld consistency caused by prolonged arcing of a short-circuit low-current waveform is effectively solved. This reduces the occurrence of abnormal prolonged arcing, ensures arc stability after adjustment, and reduces spatter. Furthermore, it avoids the occurrence of abnormal prolonged arcing, effectively ensuring uniform short-circuit transition and improving welding quality.

[0098] Optionally, if the absolute value of the difference between the duration of the arc-burning phase and the duration of the standard arc-burning phase is less than or equal to a second preset threshold during short-circuit welding, the system determines that the current arc-burning is a normal arc-burning.

[0099] Optionally, during short-circuit welding, the duration of the arc-burning phase can also be used to determine whether a continuous short-circuit anomaly has occurred. One possible implementation is to follow... Figure 8 The method shown determines whether a continuous short circuit anomaly occurs during the first welding cycle.

[0100] Step S501: After the first welding cycle begins, if a second arc-burning stage exists in the first welding cycle, it is determined that a continuous short circuit anomaly has occurred in the first welding cycle.

[0101] The second arc-burning stage refers to an arc-burning stage in which the difference between the duration of the second arc-burning stage and the duration of the standard arc-burning stage is less than the negative of the second preset threshold. In other words, the difference between the duration of the second arc-burning stage and the duration of the standard arc-burning stage is less than the negative of the second preset threshold.

[0102] When the duration of the arc-ignition phase is too short, the alternating short-circuit and arc-ignition welding transitions into short-circuit and short-circuit welding, leading to continuous short-circuit anomalies. See also Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a waveform diagram illustrating a continuous short-circuit anomaly provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 9 It can be seen that the difference between the duration of the second arc-ignition stage and the duration of the standard arc-ignition stage is less than the negative of the second preset threshold, thus confirming that a continuous short-circuit anomaly occurred in the first welding cycle. Among these, Figure 9 This is merely an exemplary waveform diagram of a continuous short-circuit anomaly in this application and is not intended to be specific.

[0103] Since continuous short-circuit anomalies have a significant impact on the weld seam, if a continuous short-circuit anomaly occurs in the first welding cycle, the next welding cycle needs to be adjusted. One possible implementation is that if a continuous short-circuit anomaly occurs in the first welding cycle, the next welding cycle is adjusted according to the method shown in step S106 below.

[0104] Step S106: If a continuous short circuit abnormality occurs in the first welding cycle, adjust the given value of the arc voltage in the next welding cycle of the first welding cycle.

[0105] In one possible implementation, if a series of short-circuit anomalies occur during the first welding cycle, the given value of the arc voltage in the next welding cycle is adjusted based on the following relationship: U' 调整 = D2[b n2 - arc(avg)]+ U'给定 ; Where D2 is a constant, U' 给定 U' is the given value of the arc voltage in the first welding cycle. 调整 b is the given value of the arc voltage in the next welding cycle after the first welding cycle. n2 is the duration of the second arcing phase, and arc(avg) is the duration of the standard arcing phase.

[0106] Adjusting the arc voltage setting in the next welding cycle after the first welding cycle helps reduce the occurrence of continuous short circuit anomalies, ensures arc stability after adjustment, and reduces spatter. It also avoids continuous short circuit anomalies, effectively ensuring uniform short circuit transition and improving welding quality.

[0107] It is understandable that prolonged arcing abnormality occurs because the duration of the arcing phase is longer than that of normal arcing, while continuous short circuit occurs because the duration of the arcing phase is shorter than that of normal arcing. Therefore, in any welding cycle during short circuit welding, prolonged arcing abnormality or continuous short circuit abnormality will not occur simultaneously.

[0108] Optionally, when the base material, welding material, gas, etc., change, the values ​​of A1, A2, A3, A4, B1, B2, B3, B4, C0, D1, and D2 in the above relationship will also change accordingly. This can be one parameter, two parameters, or all parameters.

[0109] Optionally, when no instantaneous short-circuit anomaly, set wire anomaly, prolonged arcing anomaly, or continuous short-circuit anomaly occurs during the first welding cycle in the short-circuit welding process, it is not necessary to adjust the welding parameters such as the initial arcing current, duration, waveform coefficient of the arcing current, arcing reference voltage, arcing slope, and arc voltage setpoint as shown in steps S103, S104, S105, and S106. When it is necessary to adjust the next welding cycle of the first welding cycle according to any one or more of steps S103, S104, S105, and S106, the welding parameters such as the initial arcing current, duration, waveform coefficient of the arcing current, arcing reference voltage, arcing slope, and arc voltage setpoint can be adjusted according to the actual scenario, following any one or more of steps S103, S104, S105, and S106.

[0110] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely examples, and modifications can be made to the above embodiments in actual implementation. Those skilled in the art will understand that any modifications to the above embodiments that do not require creative effort fall within the protection scope of this application, and will not be described in detail in the embodiments.

[0111] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a short-circuit welding device. Since the principle of the problem solved by the short-circuit welding device is similar to that of the aforementioned short-circuit welding method, the implementation of the short-circuit welding device can refer to the implementation of the aforementioned short-circuit welding method, and the repeated parts will not be described again.

[0112] See Figure 10 , Figure 10 This is a structural block diagram of a short-circuit welding device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 10 As shown, the short-circuit welding device 600 may include: a detection unit 601, a determination unit 602, and a processing unit 603. Among them, The detection unit 601 can be used to detect the arc voltage in real time during the short-circuit welding process after the start of the first welding cycle. The first welding cycle is any welding cycle in the short-circuit welding process, and any welding cycle includes multiple short-circuit stages and an arc-burning stage connected to each short-circuit stage.

The second arc-burning stage refers to an arc-burning stage in which the difference between the duration of the second arc-burning stage and the duration of the standard arc-burning stage is less than the negative number of a second preset threshold.

[0119] In one possible implementation, the processing unit 603 is used to adjust the current and duration of the arc in the initial stage of the next welding cycle of the first welding cycle, as well as the waveform coefficient of the arc current. Specifically, the processing unit 603 is used to adjust the current and duration of the arc in the initial stage of the next welding cycle of the first welding cycle, as well as the waveform coefficient of the arc current, based on the following relationship: SPI1=A1* N0+B1[a n1 -sht(avg)] +SPI0; SPT1 = A2 * N0 + B2[a n1 -sht(avg)] +SPT0; KI1 = KI0 + C0; Where A1, B1, A2, B2, and C0 are constants, SPI0 is the current at the initial stage of arc ignition in the first welding cycle, SPI1 is the current at the initial stage of arc ignition in the next welding cycle, SPT0 is the duration of the initial stage of arc ignition in the first welding cycle, SPT1 is the duration of the initial stage of arc ignition in the next welding cycle, KI0 is the waveform coefficient of the arc current in the first welding cycle, KI1 is the waveform coefficient of the arc current in the next welding cycle, N0 is the number of instantaneous short circuits occurring in the first welding cycle, and N0 is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1. n1 sht(avg) is the average duration of the transient short circuit that occurs during the first welding cycle, and sht(avg) is the duration of the standard short circuit phase.
