Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of laser optical path control or modulation technology, and specifically relates to a method for controlling the vertical incident angle of laser by vector control of the inner wall circumferential welding of GIL pipe. Background Technology
[0002] GIL (Gas Insulation Line) pipelines are high-voltage, high-current power transmission equipment insulated with SF6 gas or a mixture of SF6 and N2 gas, with the outer shell and conductor arranged coaxially. The outer shell is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy tubing connected by circumferential welding. The conductor is placed coaxially in the center of the pipeline, undertaking the function of transmitting power over long distances and with large capacity. During maintenance, the pipeline shell needs to be cut open for construction. However, aluminum is a highly reactive, easily oxidized, and difficult-to-weld material. Poor consistency in welding heat source and process can easily lead to defects such as porosity and slag inclusions. GIL pipelines have extremely high requirements for welding quality. If there are defects such as weld burrs, porosity, or slag inclusions on the inner wall of the pipeline, they can be broken down by high voltage and high current during operation, causing circuit paralysis and seriously threatening power transmission safety. Therefore, stable welding of the aluminum-magnesium alloy outer shell of GIL pipelines is very important. Summary of the Invention

[0055] Preferred solutions include Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a method for vector-controlled vertical incident angle of laser in circumferential welding of the inner wall of a GIL pipe is described. The equipment used includes a laser scanning welding head 5, a binocular camera 4, a transmission fiber 8, and a laser 7. The laser scanning welding head 5 is connected to the rotating shaft 2 via a movable base 3 in a motion mechanism assembly, enabling circumferential and axial movement of the laser scanning welding head. The laser beam generated by the laser 7 enters the laser scanning welding head 5 through the transmission fiber 8. Within the laser scanning welding head 5, the laser beam passes sequentially through a collimating optical lens, a scanning lens group, and an f-Theta field lens. The collimating optical lens collimates the laser beam, the scanning lens group reflects and transfers the laser beam through deflecting lenses, and the f-Theta field lens focuses the incident laser beam at a set working focusing distance, irradiating it and forming a focused spot with high energy density in the welding area of the inner wall of the GIL pipe.
[0056] The area to be welded on the inner wall of the GIL pipe is the annular joint area formed by the circumferential butt joint of two pipe pieces (the pipe shell may not be a regular cylinder due to manufacturing factors, and the annular joint area may not be a regular ring). The welding method is circumferential welding. Before the circumferential welding process, a binocular camera first scans the inner wall of the GIL pipe at the welding position along the circumferential direction at intervals b. The camera collects information and calculates the angle and distance information between the laser head focusing lens and the inner wall of the GIL pipe. At the same time, combined with the corresponding relationship formula of the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the GIL pipe at intervals b, the inner wall of the GIL pipe and the laser scan are obtained. The system obtains the relative position information of the focusing lens of the laser scanning welding head in three-dimensional space, as well as the incident angle information between the laser focusing beam and the inner wall of the GIL pipe. During circumferential welding, based on the obtained three-dimensional spatial relative position information of the inner wall circumferential direction and the focusing lens of the laser scanning welding head, and the incident angle information between the laser focusing beam and the inner wall, the system guides and automatically adjusts the welding position and angle of the laser scanning welding head in the pipe. This ensures that the laser focusing beam remains perpendicular to the inner wall surface and that the working focal length of the laser beam is constant during circumferential welding of the GIL pipe, thereby ensuring a constant laser energy density during welding, guaranteeing the consistency of the circumferential welding quality of the inner wall of the GIL pipe, and avoiding welding defects.

Substitute it into the formula to calculate the position of the laser head in three-dimensional space at this scanning point.

Step 6.4 Continuous Monitoring and Optimization: Throughout the welding process, the position and angle of the laser welding head are continuously monitored, and strategies are constantly optimized and adjusted to ensure that the welding quality is always at its best.
7. A system for vector-controlled laser vertical incident angle in GIL pipe inner wall circumferential welding, characterized in that: The method for controlling the vertical incident angle of laser in the circumferential welding of the inner wall of a GIL pipe, as described in any one of claims 1-6, was adopted.
