[0025] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the auxiliary welding imaging system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a thermal imaging module ranging module, a mobile mounting seat 1, an image acquisition module 2 and an imaging device 3, wherein the mobile mounting seat 1 is connected to the image acquisition module 2, and the imaging device 3 is connected to the image acquisition module 2 to display the image acquired by the image acquisition module 2.

[0027] The distance measuring module is connected to the image acquisition module 2 and the imaging device 3 respectively, the imaging device 3 is suitable for display, and the thermal imaging module is connected to the imaging device 3, the image acquisition module 2 and the distance measuring module respectively.

[0028] The imaging device 3 uses a thermal imaging module and an image acquisition module 2 to display the temperature during welding, the imaging device 3 uses the image acquisition module 2 to divide the welding area into multiple temperature areas, and the imaging device 3 uses a ranging module, a thermal imaging module and an image acquisition module 2 to display the distance between the two areas with the highest temperature.

[0029] Specifically, during welding, due to the welding operations at the production site, obstacles are often encountered and the welds in the welding area cannot be seen directly. Removing the obstacles will take a lot of time and manpower and material resources. At the same time, a sunshade mask needs to be used during welding, which has a certain impact on the welding operation and affects the welding accuracy.

[0030] The present application adopts a mobile mounting base 1 to install an image acquisition module 2. The image acquisition module 2 is suitable for acquiring images during welding and displaying them through an imaging device 3, so that the welder can determine the position of the welding gun through the displayed image, and understand the positions of the welding gun and the electrode in real time through the image acquisition module 2 and the imaging device 3, and indirectly adjust the welding position. There is no need to use the human eye to weld through a shading plate. The image acquisition module 2 and the imaging device 3 assist in welding, avoid glare during welding, and improve the convenience and accuracy of welding.

[0031] At the same time, the thermal imaging module monitors the temperature during welding, and cooperates with the image acquisition module 2 to divide the acquisition area into multiple temperature areas, and the distance between the two highest temperature areas is measured by the distance measurement module, and then displayed by the imaging device 3. In actual welding, the temperature on the welding gun and the temperature of the soldering point area are the highest, so the distance between the two highest temperature areas is the distance between the welding gun and the soldering point area, and is displayed by the imaging device 3 for personnel to refer to and assist in welding. The size of the multiple temperature areas can be adjusted according to actual needs to facilitate the welding of auxiliary personnel.

[0032] The auxiliary welding imaging system of the embodiment of the present invention uses a mobile mounting seat 1 to install an image acquisition module 2. The image acquisition module 2 is suitable for acquiring images during welding and displaying them through an imaging device 3, so that the welder can determine the position of the welding gun through the displayed image, and understand the positions of the welding gun and the electrode in real time through the image acquisition module 2 and the imaging device 3, so as to assist the welder to adjust the welding position. There is no need to use the human eye to weld through a shading plate. The image acquisition module 2 and the imaging device 3 assist in welding, avoid glare during welding, and improve the convenience and accuracy of welding. At the same time, the distance between the two areas with the highest temperature is measured by a distance measuring module and displayed through the imaging device 3, so as to assist the operator in welding and improve the accuracy of welding.

[0033] In some embodiments, the image acquisition module 2 includes a first camera 21, a second camera 22 and a guide rail component 23, the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 are both arranged on the guide rail component 23, and the guide rail component 23 enables the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 to move relative to the movable mounting base 1.

[0034] Specifically, the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 are arranged at intervals, that is, the intervals between simulated personnel are arranged to improve the authenticity of the simulation.

[0035] The guide rail component 23 may be a linear guide rail, or other existing guide rails, so that welding personnel can adjust the positions of the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 through the guide rail component 23 .

[0036] The first camera 21 and the second camera 22 are arranged at the moving end of the guide rail component 23 to move in the left and right direction, so as to facilitate the adjustment by the welding personnel for subsequent welding.

[0037] In some embodiments, the image acquisition module 2 further includes a sensor light 24 , which is disposed between the first camera 21 and the second camera 22 , and the sensor light 24 is disposed on the guide rail component 23 .

[0038] Specifically, the induction lamp 24 is a lamp that can be automatically turned on and off according to the environment or specific conditions. It is used to provide lighting so that the camera can capture images more clearly. The induction lamp 24 is arranged between the first camera 21 and the second camera 22, so as to provide a common lighting area for the two cameras. It helps to ensure that the camera can capture clear and bright images. At the same time, the induction lamp 24 is arranged on the guide rail component 23, and the guide rail component 23 can make the induction lamp 24 move to adapt to different monitoring scenes and needs.

[0039] In some embodiments, the imaging device 3 includes a protective cover 31, an imaging component 32 and a controller. The imaging component 32 is arranged on the controller, and the controller is respectively connected to the image acquisition module 2, the distance measurement module, the thermal imaging module and the imaging component 32.

[0040] The controller is respectively connected to the image acquisition module 2, the ranging module, the thermal imaging module and the imaging component 32 to output the data collected by the monitoring ends of the image acquisition module 2, the ranging module and the thermal imaging module to the imaging component 32 and display them in the form of images, so that the welder can confirm the positional relationship between the welding gun and the welding point through the image.

[0041] At the same time, the imaging component 32 is arranged on the protective cover 31 , which can protect the imaging component 32 , avoid damage to the imaging component 32 , and improve the stability of the imaging device 3 in use.

[0042] Furthermore, the protective cover 31 is provided with a mounting hole for the imaging component 32, and the imaging component 32 is at least partially stuck in the mounting hole to improve the stability of the installation of the imaging component 32.

[0043] Furthermore, the auxiliary welding imaging system also includes a protective sheet, which is connected to the protective cover 31 to protect the side of the mounting hole away from the imaging component 32. When the imaging component 32 is an AR glasses, the welder can not only understand the distance between the welding gun and the welding point through the AR glasses, but also view the actual state of the welding gun and the welding point through the glasses and the mounting hole to avoid a large gap between the display and the actual state. At the same time, the display of the imaging component 32 and the actual view are mutually verified to improve the convenience and accuracy of welding.

[0044] Furthermore, a protective sheet is provided on a side of the mounting hole away from the imaging component 32 to prevent the imaging component 32 from being damaged during the welding process.

[0045] In some embodiments, the imaging component 32 is an existing VR all-in-one machine or AR glasses.

[0046] In some embodiments, a lifting component 4 is disposed between the mobile mounting seat 1 and the image acquisition module 2, one end of the lifting component 4 is connected to the image acquisition module 2, and the other end of the lifting component 4 is connected to the mobile mounting seat 1.

[0047] The lifting component 4 extends or contracts to change the height of the image acquisition module 2 .

[0048] This makes it easier to adapt to welding points of different heights, thereby improving the convenience and applicability of welding.

[0049] In some embodiments, the auxiliary welding imaging system further includes a power supply component 5, which is respectively connected to the image acquisition module 2, the ranging module of the imaging device 3, and the thermal imaging module. The power supply component 5 can be an existing battery and a power supply connection line, so that the battery can be connected to the image acquisition module 2, the ranging module of the imaging device 3, and the thermal imaging module through the power supply connection line for power supply.
