However, with the continuous introduction of new vehicle models, the trial workshop of the automobile factory has put forward higher requirements for the function of the welding controller. The traditional manual resistance welding controller currently in use can usually only support a limited number of welding specifications, and usually only two welding specifications can be configured for one device. This limitation leads to the need to frequently replace the equipment when dealing with different welding requirements, increasing the complexity and time cost of operation, and making it difficult to adapt to the diversified welding specifications required by the trial workshop.

[0003] In addition, the existing welding controller usually lacks real-time monitoring function, and the parameter changes during welding cannot be fed back to the operator in a timely manner. This lack of monitoring design makes it difficult for the operator to intuitively understand the current welding state, and the stability of the welding quality is also difficult to guarantee. Once there is a parameter anomaly or an operation error, it is difficult to take timely measures to correct it, which may result in substandard welding quality, increase the scrap rate, and affect the overall progress and cost control of the trial.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 This invention provides a method for multi-specification output and monitoring of a manual resistance welding controller, aiming to meet the diverse needs of manual resistance welding in new model prototyping workshops in the automotive manufacturing industry. Through multi-specification output and real-time monitoring, the flexibility and reliability of the welding process are improved, and the prototyping cost of new models is reduced. The specific embodiments of this invention are described in detail below.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 2 As shown, this method relies on the system structure of a manual resistance welding controller, including multiple welding clamp handle DIP switches, a 16-channel switch quantity detection module, a communication adapter board, a controller main control board, a digital tube display module, and a welding start switch. The functions and connection methods of each module are as follows:

[0045] Welding clamp handle DIP switches: used to select welding specifications, specifically including DIP switch for handle #1 of welding clamp (-1S1), DIP switch for handle #2 of welding clamp (-1S2), DIP switch for handle #2 of welding clamp (-2S1), and DIP switch for handle #2 of welding clamp (-2S2).

[0051] The connections and signal flow between the various modules of the system are as follows:

[0052] 1. Connection between the welding clamp handle DIP switch and the 16-channel switch quantity detection module

[0053] The welding clamp handle DIP switch outputs welding specification signals via 8421 encoding. Specifically:

[0054] The connection points 1, 2, 4, and 8 of -1S1 are connected to the connection points IN1, IN2, IN3, and IN4 of the 16-channel switch quantity detection module (-ZY), respectively.

[0055] The terminals 1, 2, 4, and 8 of -1S2 are connected to the terminals IN5, IN6, IN7, and IN8 of -ZY, respectively.

[0056] The terminals 1, 2, 4, and 8 of -2S1 are connected to the terminals IN9, IN10, IN11, and IN12 of -ZY, respectively.

[0057] The connection points 1, 2, 4, and 8 of -2S2 are connected to the connection points IN13, IN14, IN15, and IN16 of -ZY, respectively.

[0058] The above connections ensure that the 8421 encoded signal of each DIP switch can be identified and processed by the -ZY module. Simultaneously, the C-point of all DIP switches is shorted and connected to a 24V positive power supply to ensure stable transmission of the encoded signal.

[0059] 2.16-channel switch quantity detection module and communication adapter board connection

[0060] After receiving the welding specification signals from the DIP switches, the 16-channel switch quantity detection module (-ZY) converts these signals into digital signals and transmits them to the communication adapter board (-ZP) via RS485 communication.

[0061] The specific link is as follows:

[0062] The power supply V+ terminal of -ZY is connected to the positive terminal of P4 of -ZP, and the GND terminal is connected to the negative terminal of P4 to ensure power supply stability.

[0063] In the RS485 interface of the -ZY, the A / D+ port is connected to the P4 interface A of the -ZP, and the B / D- port is connected to the P4 interface B of the -ZP, forming an RS485 communication connection. This connection method ensures the anti-interference capability of signal transmission and is suitable for use in industrial environments.

[0064] 3. Connection between the communication adapter board and the digital tube display module and the main control board of the controller.

[0065] In addition to receiving welding specification signals, the communication adapter board (-ZP) also connects to the digital tube display module and the main control board of the controller, as detailed below:

[0066] - The ZP's power connector is connected to a 24V positive power supply and a 0V negative power supply, respectively, to ensure power supply.

[0067] The positive and negative terminals of the P5 interface of the -ZP are connected to the positive and negative terminals of the power supply of the digital tube display module (-ZS), respectively. The A end of the P5 interface is connected to the A / TX interface of the -ZS, and the B end is connected to the B / RX interface of the -ZS to ensure that the welding specification information can be displayed on the digital tube in real time.

[0068] The P1 interface of the -ZP is connected to the X8 interface of the controller main board (-C1) via RS485 communication to ensure that the welding specification signal can be successfully transmitted to the controller main board.

[0069] 4. Welding the start switch to the controller main control board

[0070] Each welding clamp handle is equipped with a welding start switch (-1H1, -1H2, -2H1, -2H2) to initiate the welding operation. The specific connections are as follows:

[0071] Port 14 of -1H1 is connected to IO1 port of the controller main board, port 14 of -1H2 is connected to IO2, port 14 of -2H1 is connected to IO3, and port 14 of -2H2 is connected to IO4.

[0072] The No. 13 port of each welding start switch is shorted and connected to the COM port of the controller main control board to form a common ground for the start switches.

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention provides a method for multi-specification output and monitoring of a manual resistance welding controller. This method aims to achieve the selection, execution, and real-time monitoring of multiple welding specifications through a single controller, thereby meeting the needs of different welding conditions, improving welding quality, and is particularly suitable for the manual welding process of the body-in-white in automobile manufacturing.

[0074] This invention utilizes multiple welding clamp handle DIP switches to select the welding specification. The welding specification signal is transmitted to the controller's main board via a 16-channel switch detection module, and then combined with a welding start signal to control the welding operation. Simultaneously, the controller's main board transmits the welding specification information to a digital display module via a communication adapter board, enabling real-time display of the welding specification. This method allows a single welding controller to support multiple welding specifications and monitor the current welding status in real time, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the welding process.

[0075] The specific implementation steps of the method of the present invention are as follows:

[0076] Step 1: Selection of Welding Specifications

[0077] The operator selects the welding specification using the DIP switches on the welding clamp handle. Each DIP switch outputs the welding specification signal using the 8421 encoding method. For example, different combinations of DIP switches (such as DIP switch 1S1 for welding clamp #1, DIP switch 1S2 for welding clamp #2, etc.) can represent different welding specifications.

[0078] 8421 Encoding Method: Each DIP switch outputs an 8421 encoded signal through a combination of connection points (e.g., connection points 1, 2, 4, and 8). 8421 encoding is a binary weighted encoding that can combine to form 16 different signals, thus supporting up to 16 welding specifications. Different combinations of encoded signals can represent different welding current, voltage, and other process parameter settings.

[0079] Operating Procedure: The operator selects the welding specification by toggling the DIP switch. For example, when a specific welding specification is selected, the 8421 encoded signal from the DIP switch will be output from each connection point and transmitted to the 16-channel switch quantity detection module.

[0080] Step 2: Detection and transmission of welding specification signals

[0081] The welding specification signal is transmitted to the 16-channel switch quantity detection module through the wiring points of each DIP switch. The input terminals (IN1 to IN16) of this module are connected to different DIP switch signal input points.

[0082] Signal detection: The 16-channel switch quantity detection module receives the 8421 encoded signal and converts it into the corresponding welding specification data. The function of this module is to convert physical switch quantity signals (i.e., encoded signals) into digital signals for subsequent data processing and communication.

[0083] Signal Transmission: The 16-channel switch detection module transmits the digitized welding specification signals to the communication adapter board via RS485 communication. RS485 is a commonly used industrial communication standard with good anti-interference capabilities, suitable for signal transmission in industrial environments, ensuring stable transmission of welding specification signals.

[0084] Step 3: Signal processing and transmission on the communication adapter board

[0085] After receiving the welding specification signal from the 16-channel switch quantity detection module, the communication adapter board acts as a signal relay station and transmits the welding specification signal to the controller main control board via RS485 communication.

[0086] Signal relay: After receiving the welding specification signal, the communication adapter board converts the signal into a standard data format that the main control board can receive through the internal communication protocol, and then sends it to the controller main control board.

[0087] Synchronous signal transmission: In addition to transmitting to the main control board of the controller, the communication adapter board is also responsible for sending welding specification information to the digital tube display module so as to display the welding specification status in real time, so that the operator can intuitively understand the current welding status.

[0088] Step 4: Set the soldering specifications on the controller main board and wait for the start signal.

[0089] After receiving the welding specification signal transmitted by the communication adapter board, the controller main control board parses the welding specification and prepares the corresponding welding output conditions (such as welding current and voltage) according to the set parameters. This step allows the controller main control board to load the welding specification settings in advance, preparing for welding to start.

[0090] Parameter settings: Based on the welding specification signals, the main control board loads the corresponding process parameters such as welding current, voltage, and pulse time. For example, for welding high-strength steel, the main control board can set a higher welding current; while for welding thin plates or aluminum alloys, a relatively low welding current will be set to avoid weld burn-through or poor quality.

[0091] Ready state: After receiving the welding specification signal, the controller main control board enters the ready state and waits for the welding start signal input.

[0092] Step 5: Receive the welding start signal and execute the welding operation.

[0093] When the operator presses the welding start switch (such as -1H1, -1H2, etc.) on the welding clamp handle, the start signal is transmitted to the designated port (such as IO1 to IO4) of the controller main board through a dedicated signal line.

[0094] Start signal recognition: After receiving the welding start signal, the controller main board confirms that the operator has selected a specific welding clamp and welding specifications. Before starting welding, the system will reconfirm that the welding specifications signal is correct.

[0095] Welding Execution: After confirming the welding start signal and welding specification signal are correct, the controller main board begins the welding operation. Based on the loaded parameter settings, the main board controls the output of the welding current and executes the welding according to the preset welding current, voltage, and time parameters, ensuring the stability of the welding process quality.

[0096] Step 6: Real-time display of welding specification status

[0097] During the welding operation, the main control board of the controller will transmit the current welding specification information to the digital tube display module through the communication adapter board, and display the current welding specification status in real time.

[0098] Standard Display: The digital tube display module can intuitively display information such as welding specification number and welding status (in progress, completed, or abnormal). This display function ensures that the operator can understand the specification status during the welding process at any time, facilitating real-time monitoring of the welding process.

[0099] Abnormal alert: If an abnormality occurs during the welding process, such as excessive or insufficient current, the main control board will transmit an alarm message to the digital tube display module through the communication adapter board, reminding the operator to take immediate action.

[0100] In summary, this invention selects the welding specification via a DIP switch on the welding clamp handle, transmits the signal using 8421 encoding, and then transmits the welding specification signal to the main control board for setting via a 16-channel switch detection module and a communication adapter board. Upon receiving the welding start signal, the main control board executes the welding operation. Simultaneously, the main control board transmits the welding specification information to the digital display module in real time via the communication adapter board, enabling real-time monitoring of the specification. This method supports up to 16 welding specification outputs, adapting to different welding needs and improving the flexibility and stability of the welding process. It is particularly suitable for new model prototyping in the automotive manufacturing industry.
