During the workpiece processing by the milling machine, the upper cover 4 is closed, and the debris generated by the milling machine processing will not be splashed around due to the presence of the upper cover 4, and the debris falls into the collection groove 10 from the inclined plane;

[0077] A fixture base assembly 2 is provided on the upper part of the inclined plane, and a laser mechanism is provided on the fixture base assembly 2;

[0078] Among them, the laser mechanism includes a moving mechanism 3, a laser fixing seat 6 provided on the moving mechanism, a three-dimensional scanner 8 and a laser installation assembly 9 are provided below the laser fixing seat 6, and the laser installation assembly 9 is used to install different replaceable laser components;

[0079] A driving mechanism 7 for driving the laser installation assembly to rotate is provided on the laser fixing seat 6;

[0080] A control system, connected to the three-dimensional scanner 8, the driving mechanism 7 and the moving mechanism 3;

[0081] The control system has:

[0082] A processing module, connected to the 3D scanner 8, is configured to obtain the surface profile of the workpiece collected by the 3D scanner 8 and construct a 3D model of the workpiece based on the surface profile of the workpiece;

[0083] A configuration module is configured to set the laser path of the workpiece based on the 3D model of the workpiece and form a control instruction for controlling the laser to process the workpiece based on the laser path; specifically, setting the laser path of the workpiece based on the 3D model of the workpiece specifically includes:

[0084] Identifying the 3D model of the workpiece to obtain whether there is a preset feature. If there is a preset feature, using the position where the preset feature is located as a reference point;

[0085] Dividing the 3D model of the workpiece into a plurality of equal-angle sectors with the reference point, recording the position of each sector; obtaining at least one of the sectors, constructing a plurality of symmetric process lines along two sides of the sector; after reverse value-taking of the process lines at different heights, using them as the first laser cutting depth setting; at the same time, using the distance between two adjacent process lines at different heights as the first laser cutting length, and setting the first laser cutting path with at least one of the process lines as the starting point and the adjacent process line as the ending point;

[0086] A plurality of end-face reference lines perpendicular to the process lines are arranged along the end face of the sector. After reverse value-taking of the end-face reference lines with different lengths, using them as the second laser cutting depth setting; at the same time, using the distance between two adjacent process lines with different lengths as the second laser cutting length, and setting the second laser cutting path with at least one of the end-face reference lines as the starting point and the adjacent end-face reference line as the ending point.

[0087] A control module is configured to control the movement of the moving mechanism, the end-face rotation of the workpiece by the fixture seat assembly, and at least two of the driving mechanisms based on the control instruction to control the laser to process the workpiece according to the set laser path; specifically, obtaining the control instruction issued by the control system, decomposing the control instruction into a plurality of instruction units corresponding to the sector positions, and each instruction unit forms an instruction set for controlling the laser to process the workpiece according to the set laser path;

[0088] Wherein, the instruction set at least includes an instruction for controlling the movement of the moving mechanism to change the laser movement path;

[0089] An instruction for controlling the driving mechanism to control the laser action; and

[0090] An instruction for controlling the fixture seat assembly to rotate the end face of the workpiece to realize the position adjustment of the workpiece.

[0091] In the above, the preset feature is a set recognition feature, such as the shape feature of the workpiece, regular shapes such as circular and square. If it is a regular shape, the center point of the three-dimensional model of the recognized workpiece is used as the reference point, and the three-dimensional model of the workpiece is divided into multiple equally angled sectors with the reference point as the core. Each sector feature is the same; by inputting the processing parameters of the workpiece on the control panel (set on the side of the vertical base 1, not shown in the figure, and the control panel is a part of the control system for inputting the processing parameters during processing), the corresponding process line and end face reference line are set according to the processing parameters of the workpiece and the three-dimensional model. Among them, the processing parameters include the processing parameters of the surface profile and the end face, such as parameters for grooving, punching, or cutting the surface and end face. Specifically, the formed three-dimensional model can be displayed through the control panel, and the operator can set the position for grooving or punching based on the displayed three-dimensional model and input the parameter information for grooving and punching. It is also possible to construct a standard library in which a large number of standard models of common workpieces and corresponding processing parameters are established in advance. By comparing the three-dimensional model in the standard library, the same standard model can be obtained, and the corresponding processing program can be called according to the processing parameters set by the standard model for processing.

[0092] In addition, the preset feature can also be a feature that is easy to recognize, such as grooves, holes, or protrusions on the workpiece. These features can be used for laser cutting treatment of the workpiece surface or cutting treatment of grooves, holes, etc.

[0093] This application can also process workpieces with irregular shapes. Workpieces with irregular shapes generally do not have recognition features. When there are no recognition features, first, the irregularly shaped workpiece can be divided into several regularly shaped blocks through the three-dimensional model and the coordinate system, and then processed according to the recognition features of the regular shapes; after processing, the blocks can be combined according to the division rules.

[0094] In the above, the configuration module has a configuration task management module and a configuration matrix; among them, the configuration task management module is used to configure the form of the configuration matrix according to the number of blocks and sectors.

[0095] When it is a workpiece with a regular shape, there are multiple configuration modules in the configuration matrix, and each configuration module includes a process line configuration unit, an end face reference line configuration unit, and a path planning unit.

[0096] Among them, the process line configuration unit is used to construct a number of symmetric process lines along the two sides of the sector according to the set processing parameters and the three-dimensional model; the process lines at different heights are used as the first laser cutting depth setting after reverse value-taking; at the same time, the distance between two adjacent process lines at different heights is used as the first laser cutting length. For example, for surface cutting of 2 mm with a cube as an example, if the cube is not a standard cube and there is a certain error, when performing a 2-mm cutting uniformly, the error still exists in the cut workpiece. At this time, according to the three-dimensional model of the workpiece, the plane where the center point is located is used as a reference line, and equal-value process lines are constructed on both sides (the process lines are equal-value lines for a cube), leaving a 2-mm cutting area, and then the cutting parameter values can be obtained by reverse value-taking according to the equal-value process lines. These parameter values are 2 mm in some areas, less than 2 mm in some areas, and greater than 2 mm in some areas. When cutting according to these parameter values, a standard cube can be obtained.

[0097] The corresponding path planning unit is used to set the first laser cutting path with one of the process lines as the starting point and the adjacent process line as the ending point;

[0098] The end face reference line configuration unit is used to set a number of end face reference lines perpendicular to the process lines along the end face of the sector. The end face reference lines with different lengths are used as the second laser cutting depth setting after reverse value-taking; at the same time, the distance between two adjacent process lines with different lengths is used as the second laser cutting length;

[0099] The corresponding path planning unit is used to set the second laser cutting path with one of the end face reference lines as the starting point and the adjacent end face reference line as the ending point.

[0100] When the workpiece is a regular-shaped one, in addition to the above module settings, a combination unit and a splitting unit are also provided;

[0101] Among them, the splitting unit is used to split the irregular-shaped workpiece into several regular-shaped blocks through the three-dimensional model and the coordinate system;

[0102] The combination unit is used to process according to the recognition features of the regular shape (here, the processing refers to the configuration of the process line configuration unit, the end face reference line configuration unit, and the path planning unit); after processing, the blocks are combined again according to the splitting rules.

A motor seat 203 is arranged on the mounting seat at the left end. A fixture motor 200 is arranged on the motor seat 203. A second gear 204 is arranged on the motor shaft of the fixture motor 200. The second gear 204 meshes with the first gear 202. By driving the second gear 204 to rotate through the fixture motor 200, the second gear 204 drives the first gear 202 to rotate, the first gear 202 rotates to drive the left connecting shaft 201 to rotate, and the left connecting shaft rotates to drive the fixture base 211 to rotate, so as to adjust the position of the workpiece end face.

[0124] Referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the present application provides a replaceable laser component, which is applied to the laser cutting device described above, and the replaceable laser component is used to be installed on the laser docking component;

[0134] On the other hand, the present application also provides a control system, including:

[0135] A processing module, connected to the three-dimensional scanner, for obtaining the surface profile of the workpiece collected by the three-dimensional scanner and constructing a three-dimensional model of the workpiece according to the surface profile of the workpiece;

[0136] A configuration module, setting the laser path of the workpiece based on the three-dimensional model of the workpiece, and correspondingly forming a control instruction for controlling the laser to process the workpiece based on the laser path;

[0137] A control module, controlling the movement of the moving mechanism, the end face rotation of the workpiece by the fixture seat assembly, and at least two of the driving mechanisms based on the control instruction to control the laser to process the workpiece along the set laser path;

[0138] Wherein, setting the laser path of the workpiece based on the three-dimensional model of the workpiece specifically includes:

[0139] Identifying the three-dimensional model of the workpiece to obtain whether there is a preset feature. If there is a preset feature, taking the position where the preset feature is located as a reference point;

[0140] Dividing the three-dimensional model of the workpiece into a plurality of equally angled sectors with the reference point, and recording the position of each sector; obtaining at least one of the sectors, constructing a plurality of symmetric process lines along the two side surfaces of the sector; reversing the values of the process lines at different heights as the first depth setting for laser cutting; at the same time, taking the distance between two adjacent process lines at different heights as the first cutting length of the laser, and setting the first cutting path of the laser with at least one of the process lines as the starting point and the adjacent process line as the ending point;

[0141] A plurality of end face reference lines perpendicular to the process lines are arranged along the end face of the sector, and reversing the values of the end face reference lines with different lengths as the second depth setting for laser cutting; at the same time, taking the distance between two adjacent process lines with different lengths as the second cutting length of the laser, and setting the second cutting path of the laser with at least one of the end face reference lines as the starting point and the adjacent end face reference line as the ending point.

[0142] In the above, the preset feature is a set recognition feature, such as the shape feature of the workpiece, regular shapes such as circular and square. If it is a regular shape, the center point of the three-dimensional model of the recognized workpiece is used as the reference point, and the three-dimensional model of the workpiece is divided into multiple equally angled sectors with the reference point as the core. Each sector feature is the same; by inputting the processing parameters of the workpiece on the control panel (set on the side of the vertical base 1, not shown in the figure, and the control panel is part of the control system for inputting the processing parameters during processing), the corresponding process line and end face reference line are set according to the processing parameters of the workpiece and the three-dimensional model. Among them, the processing parameters include the processing parameters of the surface profile and the end face, such as parameters for grooving, punching, or cutting the surface and end face. Specifically, the formed three-dimensional model can be displayed through the control panel, and the operator can set the position for grooving or punching based on the displayed three-dimensional model and input the parameter information for grooving and punching. It can also be done by constructing a standard library in which a large number of standard models of common workpieces and corresponding processing parameters are established in advance. By comparing the three-dimensional model in the standard library, the same standard model can be obtained, and the corresponding processing program can be called according to the processing parameters set by the standard model for processing.

[0143] In addition, the preset feature can also be a feature that is easy to identify, such as grooves, holes, or protrusions on the workpiece. These features can be used to cut the surface of the workpiece or to cut the grooves, holes, etc.

[0144] This application can also process workpieces with irregular shapes. Workpieces with irregular shapes generally do not have recognition features. When there are no recognition features, first, the workpiece with an irregular shape can be divided into several regular-shaped blocks through the three-dimensional model and the coordinate system, and then processed according to the recognition features of the regular shape; after processing, the blocks can be combined according to the division rules.

[0145] In the above, the configuration module has a configuration task management module and a configuration matrix; among them, the configuration task management module is used to configure the form of the configuration matrix according to the number of blocks and sectors;

[0146] When it is a workpiece with a regular shape, there are multiple configuration modules in the configuration matrix, and each configuration module includes a process line configuration unit, an end face reference line configuration unit, and a path planning unit;

[0147] Among them, the process line configuration unit is used to construct a number of symmetric process lines along the two sides of the sector according to the set processing parameters and the three-dimensional model; after the process lines at different heights are inversely valued, they are used as the first laser cutting depth setting; at the same time, the distance between two adjacent process lines at different heights is used as the first laser cutting length. For example, for surface cutting of 2 mm with a cube as an example, if the cube is not a standard cube and there is a certain error, when performing a 2-mm cut uniformly, the error still exists in the ground workpiece. At this time, according to the three-dimensional model of the workpiece, the plane where the center point is located is used as a reference line, and equivalent process lines are constructed on both sides (the process lines are equivalent lines for a cube), leaving a 2-mm cutting area, and then the cutting parameter values can be obtained by inversely valuing according to the equivalent process lines. These parameter values are 2 mm in some areas, less than 2 mm in some areas, and greater than 2 mm in some areas. After cutting according to these parameter values, a standard cube is obtained.

[0148] The corresponding path planning unit is used to set the first laser cutting path with one of the process lines as the starting point and the adjacent process line as the ending point;

[0149] The end face reference line configuration unit is used to set a number of end face reference lines perpendicular to the process lines along the end face of the sector; after the end face reference lines of different lengths are inversely valued, they are used as the second laser cutting depth setting; at the same time, the distance between two adjacent process lines of different lengths is used as the second laser cutting length;

[0150] The corresponding path planning unit is used to set the second laser cutting path with one of the end face reference lines as the starting point and the adjacent end face reference line as the ending point.

[0151] When the workpiece is a regular-shaped workpiece, in addition to the above module settings, a combination unit and a segmentation unit are also provided;

[0152] Among them, the segmentation unit is used to divide the irregular-shaped workpiece into several regular-shaped blocks through the three-dimensional model and the coordinate system;

[0153] The combination unit is used to process according to the recognition features of regular shapes (here, the processing refers to the configuration of the process line configuration unit, the end face reference line configuration unit, and the path planning unit); after processing, the blocks are combined again according to the segmentation rules.

[0155] Obtain the control instructions issued by the control system, decompose the control instructions into several instruction units according to the corresponding sector positions, and each instruction unit forms an instruction set for controlling the laser to process the workpiece according to the set laser path;

[0156] Among them, the instruction set at least includes an instruction for controlling the movement of the moving mechanism to change the laser movement path;

[0157] An instruction for controlling the driving mechanism to control the laser action; and

[0158] An instruction for controlling the fixture seat assembly to rotate the end face of the workpiece to achieve the adjustment of the workpiece position.

[0159] In this application, the three-dimensional contour of the workpiece is obtained through a three-dimensional scanner, and a three-dimensional model is constructed through the three-dimensional contour. By identifying the three-dimensional model of the workpiece, it is determined whether there are preset features. If there are preset features, the three-dimensional model of the workpiece is divided into multiple equal-angle sectors with the position where the preset features are located as the reference point. Process lines and end face reference lines are constructed on each sector to determine the laser cutting depth and cutting path, and then the laser cutting depth and the corresponding cutting path are formed into control instructions for output, so as to control the movement of the moving mechanism, the rotation of the end face of the workpiece by the fixture seat assembly, and at least two of the driving mechanisms to control the laser to process the workpiece according to the set laser path. Compared with the traditional technology, this application does not need to set a processing program for the workpiece, and it can construct a processing control program correspondingly by constructing the three-dimensional model of the workpiece.
