When a feature "includes or contains" one or some of the features it covers, unless otherwise specifically described, this indicates that other features are not excluded and may further include other features.

[0024] Unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", "connect", "fix", "couple" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral one; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined.

In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a ship hull welding auxiliary method based on AI and knowledge graph, including:

[0028] Step S1: Construct a large model in the field of ship hull welding to provide sequence planning, process definition, and auxiliary decision-making for ship hull welding. The steps of constructing a large model in the field of ship hull welding include recording the pipe size, rule requirements, welding sequence, cycle, number of people, tooling, and site resources in the process of welding different hull sections. Combine the various information and mark the wrong combination. Combined with the relevant terms of ship welding, a large model in the field of ship hull welding can be obtained through training.

[0029] Step S2: Construct a knowledge graph network for ship hull welding to provide process push, audio and video guidance, document review, and model loading for ship hull welding.

[0030] Step S3: Select the welding object, that is, select the object to be welded.

[0031] Step S4: Obtain relevant data of the welding object through the knowledge graph network. The relevant data includes welding process documents, three-dimensional models, welding positioning requirements, relevant construction standards and reference operation videos.

[0032] Step S5: According to the relevant data, combined with the situation of the construction site, the domain big model is used to give the welding scheme. Among them, the situation of the construction site includes the size, spatial position, incoming material situation, welding material type and quantity, tire frame resources, dynamic interference situation, static interference situation, welding difficulty and danger situation of each hull part. The assembly plan includes whether the welding work is currently carried out and the welding requirements and sequence. That is, according to the size, spatial position, incoming material situation, welding material type and quantity, tire frame resources, dynamic interference situation, static interference situation, welding difficulty and danger situation of each hull part, it is judged whether the assembly work can be carried out at present. And, according to the situation of the construction site, the requirements and sequence of welding are given. For example, after the analysis of the domain big model, it is dangerous to carry out the welding work at present, so the hull welding work is temporarily suspended. According to the incoming material situation and tire frame resources, the welding work that can be carried out at this stage is given, and the quantity of materials that need to be supplemented later is given.

[0033] Step S6: According to the welding plan, guide the construction personnel to carry out the welding of the hull.

[0034] By building a large domain model and knowledge graph network, a plan for ship hull welding can be given more quickly and accurately. Construction workers carry out construction according to the welding plan, which improves the accuracy and efficiency of hull welding.

[0035] Furthermore, the selection of welding objects and the guidance of construction personnel to weld the hull according to the welding plan are all achieved by using AR glasses. Among them, the methods of selecting welding objects include voice interaction, gesture selection and eye tracking. The method of guiding construction personnel to weld the hull is to use the knowledge graph network to associate the requirements and sequence of the welding plan with each work step and the corresponding part model, and guide the on-site construction personnel to weld the hull through the AR virtual-real superposition method.

[0036] AR glasses can provide construction workers with a good human-computer interaction interface, making their work more convenient. Of course, other human-computer interaction methods can also be used.

[0037] Optionally, when the welding object is selected as "DK1A segment", the construction worker wears the AR glasses and speaks the name of the object to be welded "DK1A segment" through voice interaction. After the AR glasses recognize the voice, they feed the information back to the knowledge graph network.

[0038] Based on the knowledge graph network, the relevant documents required for the DK1A hull assembly and welding are quickly retrieved, including: DK1A segmented 3D model and annotation, DK1A parts installation pallet table, relevant standards for assembly and welding process requirements, flat welding video diagram, overhead welding video diagram, vertical welding video diagram, and AR safety use precautions and other documents.

[0039] According to the hull information retrieved from the knowledge graph network, DK1A needs to weld 5 large assemblies, 2 small assemblies, 50 brackets, and the size, welding material type, and weld length of each hull. Combined with the on-site construction personnel scanning the QR code of each hull part to count the incoming materials, it was found that only 5 large assemblies, 2 small assemblies, and 46 brackets were delivered. After comprehensive judgment of dynamic interference, static interference, assembly difficulty and danger, the domain large model will give a welding plan for nearly 2 days based on the existing materials. The welding order is as follows: No. 1 large assembly, No. 2 large assembly, No. 1 medium assembly, No. 1-10 brackets, No. 3 large assembly, No. 4 medium assembly, No. 11-30 brackets, No. 4 large assembly, No. 5 large assembly, No. 31-46 brackets. At this time, the system infers and associates the welding process requirements, models, annotations, positive and negative states, welding material requirements, and welding current and voltage according to the welding plan. Through AR virtual-reality superposition and display of corresponding models of welding parts according to the welding plan, the welding safety specification documents, standards, process requirements, operation demonstration videos, and 3D annotations are matched and displayed to guide on-site construction personnel to complete the hull welding work in turn.

[0040] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by a person of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed by the present invention shall still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
