Similar components in the accompanying drawings are represented by the same reference numerals. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the content specifically described below is illustrative rather than restrictive, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] It should be noted that, although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used to describe in the embodiments of the present application, these descriptions should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the descriptions. For example, without departing from the scope of the embodiments of the present application, the first may also be referred to as the second, and similarly, the second may also be referred to as the first.

[0036] See also Figure 1 As shown, it is a structural schematic diagram of the welding monitoring system based on artificial intelligence in this embodiment, and the system includes:

[0037] A data acquisition module is used to collect welding parameters, welding torch parameters and weldment parameters, wherein the welding parameters include welding current, welding temperature, penetration depth and shielding gas flow rate, the weldment parameters include weldment thickness and weldment thermal conductivity, the welding torch parameters include welding torch position and welding torch angle, the welding torch position is the straight-line distance between the welding torch and the weldment, and the welding torch angle is the inclination angle of the welding torch; in this embodiment, no specific limitation is made on the collection method of welding parameters, welding torch parameters and weldment parameters, and those skilled in the art can freely set them, as long as the collection requirements of welding parameters, welding torch parameters and weldment parameters are met, wherein the welding current can be collected by a current sensor, the welding temperature can be collected by a thermocouple, the penetration depth can be collected by a laser ranging sensor or a laser-based three-dimensional scanning device, the shielding gas flow rate can be collected by a flowmeter, the weldment thickness can be collected by an ultrasonic thickness gauge, the thermal conductivity of the weldment can be collected interactively, the welding torch position can be collected by a laser displacement sensor, and the welding torch angle can be collected by a tilt sensor.

[0038] Please continue reading Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a welding torch monitoring module, which is connected to the data acquisition module. The welding torch monitoring module is used to analyze the welding torch operation status according to the collected welding torch angle and welding torch position, and improve the analysis accuracy of the welding torch operation status by integrating the welding torch angle and the welding torch position, wherein:

[0039] The welding torch monitoring module analyzes the abnormality of the welding torch angle according to the collected welding torch angle j0 and the preset angle j1. If |j0-j1| / j1≤u1, the welding torch monitoring module determines that the welding torch angle is normal. If |j0-j1| / j1>u1, the welding torch monitoring module determines that the welding torch angle is abnormal.

[0040] The welding torch monitoring module analyzes the abnormality of the welding torch position according to the collected welding torch position z0 and the preset position z1. If |z0-z1| / z1≤u2, the welding torch monitoring module determines that the welding torch position is normal. If |z0-z1| / z1>u2, the welding torch monitoring module determines that the welding torch position is abnormal. u1 is the first offset coefficient and u2 is the second offset coefficient.

[0041] The welding torch monitoring module analyzes the operating status of the welding torch according to the analysis results of the abnormality of the welding torch angle and the abnormality of the welding torch position. If the welding torch angle is normal and the welding torch position is normal, the welding torch monitoring module determines that the operating status of the welding torch is normal. If the welding torch angle is abnormal or the welding torch position is abnormal, the welding torch monitoring module determines that the operating status of the welding torch is abnormal. By real-time monitoring the angle and position of the welding torch, welding defects caused by improper welding torch posture, such as incomplete penetration, inconsistent gaps, etc., can be effectively avoided, especially the high-precision requirements in the welding of thin-walled parts are guaranteed, thereby improving the welding monitoring efficiency.

[0042] It can be understood that, in the present embodiment, there is no specific limitation on the setting of the preset angle, preset position, the first offset coefficient and the second offset coefficient, and those skilled in the art can set them freely as long as the setting requirements of the preset angle, preset position, the first offset coefficient and the second offset coefficient are met. Among them, when the welding torch type is TIG, the optimal value of j1 is 15°, the optimal value of z1 is 2mm, the optimal value of u1 is 0.05, and the optimal value of u2 is 0.03.

[0043] Please continue reading Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a penetration monitoring module, which is connected to the data acquisition module. The penetration monitoring module analyzes the abnormality of the penetration according to the collected penetration r0 and the preset penetration r1. If |r0-r1|≤u3, the penetration monitoring module determines that the penetration is normal. If |r0-r1|>u3, the penetration monitoring module determines that the penetration is abnormal, and u3 is a third offset coefficient. By continuously monitoring the welding penetration, it is ensured that the weld has sufficient mechanical strength and welding integrity. By setting the third offset coefficient, the accuracy of the penetration abnormality analysis is improved, thereby improving the accuracy of the welding state analysis.

[0044] It can be understood that the present embodiment does not specifically limit the setting of the preset penetration depth and the third offset coefficient, and those skilled in the art can freely set them as long as the setting requirements of the preset penetration depth and the third offset coefficient are met. Among them, when the weldment is a thin-walled titanium alloy, the optimal value of r1 is 0.5 mm, and the optimal value of u3 is 0.08.

[0045] Please continue reading Figure 1 As shown, the system includes an early warning module, which is connected to the welding torch monitoring module and the penetration monitoring module. The early warning module is used to analyze the welding state according to the analysis results of the welding torch operation state and the analysis results of the abnormal penetration, and to warn the user of abnormal welding state according to the analysis results, wherein:

[0046] If the welding torch is in normal operation and the penetration depth is normal, the warning module determines that the welding state is normal and does not issue a warning;

[0047] If the welding torch operating state is abnormal or the penetration depth is abnormal, the early warning module determines that the welding state is abnormal and warns the user of the abnormal welding state. By monitoring the welding torch state and penetration depth and issuing abnormal warnings to the operator in a timely manner, welding defects can be avoided in advance, ensuring the stability of the welding process and thereby improving the welding monitoring efficiency.

[0048] Please continue reading Figure 1As shown, the system includes a current monitoring module, which is used to monitor the state of the welding current according to the welding current, weldment thickness and weldment thermal conductivity collected during the monitoring period, and to construct a welding current abnormality coefficient. The current abnormality coefficient is used to quantify the abnormal state of the welding current to improve the analysis efficiency of the abnormal state of the welding current. The current monitoring module is connected to the data acquisition module.

[0049] It is understandable that the present embodiment does not specifically limit the setting of the monitoring period, and those skilled in the art may freely set it as long as the setting requirements of the monitoring period are met, wherein the monitoring period may be set to 10 seconds, 20 seconds, etc.

[0050] See also Figure 2 As shown, the current monitoring module includes a current monitoring unit, which is used to compare the collected welding current c0 with each preset current to monitor the state of the welding current, wherein:

[0051] If c0<c1 or c0>c2, the current monitoring unit determines that the state of the welding current is abnormal;

[0052] If c1≤c0≤c2, the current monitoring unit determines that the state of the welding current is normal, c1 is the first preset current, c2 is the second preset current, and c1<c2;

[0053] The current monitoring unit constructs a welding current anomaly coefficient HD according to the analysis result of the welding current state within the monitoring period, and uses the welding current anomaly coefficient to quantify the abnormal state of the welding current, and sets HD=i1 / i0, i1 is the duration of the abnormal state of the welding current within the monitoring period, and i0 is the duration of the monitoring period; by real-time monitoring of the welding current, ensuring that the current is within the set range, and by monitoring the current and comparing it with the preset upper and lower limits, the welding defects caused by the abnormal current can be greatly reduced, especially when dealing with complex thin-walled parts and high-temperature alloy materials, so that the heat input is more stable and the welding consistency is better.

[0054] It can be understood that the present embodiment does not specifically limit the setting of each preset current, and those skilled in the art can freely set it as long as the setting requirements of each preset current are met. Among them, when the weldment is titanium alloy, the optimal value of c1 is 40A, and the optimal value of c2 is 50A.

[0055] Please continue reading Figure 2 As shown, the current monitoring module includes a thickness analysis unit, which is connected to the current monitoring unit. The thickness analysis unit is used to compare the collected weldment thickness h0 with the preset thickness h1 to analyze the abnormality of the weldment thickness, and adjust the state monitoring process of the welding current according to the analysis result to ensure that the welding current can be adjusted corresponding to different weldment thicknesses, wherein:

[0056] If h0≤h1, the thickness analysis unit determines that the thickness of the weldment is normal and no adjustment is made;

[0057] If h0>h1, the thickness analysis unit determines that the weld thickness is abnormal, and adjusts the first preset current to c1', setting: c1'=c1×{1+α×exp[3×(h0-h1) / (h0+h1)-3]}, and adjusts the second preset current to c2', setting c2'=c2×{1+α×exp[3×(h0-h1) / (h0+h1)-3]}, α is the preset adjustment ratio; by monitoring the weld thickness to adjust the set upper and lower limits of the current, it is ensured that the welding current can be adjusted to correspond to different weld thicknesses. This adjustment mechanism improves the accuracy of the weld current abnormality analysis.

[0058] It can be understood that the setting of the preset thickness and the preset adjustment ratio is not specifically limited in this embodiment, and those skilled in the art can set them freely as long as the setting requirements of the preset thickness and the preset adjustment ratio are met, where the optimal value of h1 is 1 mm, and the optimal value of α is 0.2.

[0059] Please continue reading Figure 2 As shown, the current monitoring module includes a thermal conductivity analysis unit, which is connected to the thickness analysis unit. The thermal conductivity analysis unit is used to compare the collected thermal conductivity r0 of the weld with the preset thermal conductivity r1 to analyze the abnormality of the thermal conductivity of the weld, and adjust the analysis process of the abnormality of the thickness of the weld according to the analysis result, so as to adjust the welding thickness threshold according to the change of thermal conductivity, wherein:

[0060] If r0≤r1, the thermal conductivity analysis unit determines that the thermal conductivity of the weldment is normal and does not make any adjustments;

[0061] If r0>r1, the thermal conductivity analysis unit determines that the thermal conductivity of the weldment is abnormal, and adjusts the preset thickness to h1', setting:

[0062] h1'=h1×{1-ln[4×(r0-r1) / (r1+r0)+1] / ln5}; By accurately monitoring the thermal conductivity of the welding material, the thickness parameters of the weldment are adjusted according to the change in thermal conductivity to prevent welding quality problems caused by differences in material thermal conductivity, thereby improving welding monitoring efficiency.

[0063] It can be understood that the setting of the preset thermal conductivity is not specifically limited in this embodiment, and those skilled in the art can set it freely as long as the setting requirements of the preset thermal conductivity are met. Among them, when the weldment is titanium alloy, the optimal value of r1 is 6.6 W / (m·K).

[0064] Please continue reading Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a temperature monitoring module, which is connected to the data acquisition module. The temperature monitoring module is used to construct a welding temperature anomaly coefficient according to the collected welding temperature and protective gas flow rate, and use the welding temperature anomaly coefficient to quantify the abnormal state of the welding temperature.

[0065] See also Figure 3 As shown, the temperature monitoring module includes a temperature monitoring unit, which is used to compare the collected welding temperature t0 with the preset temperature t1, and analyze the abnormality of the welding temperature according to the comparison result, wherein:

[0066] If t0≤t1, the temperature monitoring unit determines that the welding temperature is normal;

[0067] If t0>t1, the temperature monitoring unit determines that the welding temperature is abnormal.

[0068] It is understandable that the setting of the preset temperature is not specifically limited in this embodiment, and those skilled in the art can set it freely as long as the setting requirements of the preset temperature are met. Among them, when the weldment is titanium alloy, the optimal value of t1 is 1000°C.

[0069] Please continue reading Figure 3 As shown, the temperature monitoring module includes a flow monitoring unit, which is connected to the temperature monitoring unit. The flow monitoring unit is used to analyze the abnormality of the shielding gas flow according to the analysis result of the welding temperature abnormality and the collected shielding gas flow v0, so as to adopt different technical means for gas flow monitoring for different temperature environments, wherein:

[0070] When the welding temperature is normal, if v1≤v0≤v2, the flow monitoring unit determines that the flow of the shielding gas is normal; if v0<v1 or v0>v2, the flow monitoring unit determines that the flow of the shielding gas is abnormal;

[0071] When the welding temperature is abnormal, if v1×{1+exp[lg(t0-t1) / t1]}≤v0≤v2×{1+exp[lg(t0-t1) / t1]}, the flow monitoring unit determines that the shielding gas flow is normal; if v0<v1×{1+exp[lg(t0-t1) / t1]} or v0>v2×{1+exp[lg(t0-t1) / t1]}, the flow monitoring unit determines that the shielding gas flow is abnormal, v1 is the first preset flow, v2 is the second preset flow, and v1<v2; by monitoring the shielding gas flow, the gas flow is accurately controlled and closed-loop with the welding temperature in real time to ensure that the flow change is within a reasonable range, thereby avoiding welding defects and improving the welding monitoring efficiency.

[0072] It can be understood that the present embodiment does not specifically limit the setting of each preset flow rate, and those skilled in the art can freely set it as long as the setting requirements of each preset flow rate are met.

[0077] See also Figure 4 As shown, the quality monitoring module includes a heat input state analysis unit, which is used to analyze the welding heat input state according to the construction results of the welding current abnormal coefficient and the welding temperature abnormal coefficient in the monitoring period, and to construct a heat input state index by analyzing the current and temperature state during the welding process to ensure the balance of heat input during the welding process, wherein:

[0078] If h1×HD+h2×HT≤γ, the heat input state analysis unit determines that the welding heat input state of the current monitoring period is normal;

[0079] If h1×HD+h2×HT>γ, the heat input state analysis unit determines that the welding heat input state in the current monitoring period is abnormal; through accurate heat input monitoring, the welding performance is effectively improved to ensure that the material in the welding area can meet the strength requirements while avoiding excessive hardening of the weld or changes in the heat-affected zone, thereby improving the accuracy of welding quality state analysis and thus improving welding monitoring efficiency;

[0084] If the welding heat input state is abnormal during the monitoring period, the alarm unit determines that the welding quality state of the current monitoring period is abnormal, and issues an abnormal welding quality state alarm to the user; based on the heat input state and the welding early warning results, the welding quality is comprehensively analyzed and an alarm is issued. In particular, for key components such as thin-walled components in aerospace engines, any abnormality in the welding process will affect the final quality. When the alarm unit finds that the welding heat input is too high or there is a welding quality problem, it can promptly notify the operator to prevent the continuation of unqualified welding operations due to ignoring abnormal details, thereby ensuring the integrity and consistency of welding and improving the efficiency of welding monitoring;
