Further, a surface image of the component is obtained through an imaging unit, and a component defect score shown by the surface image of the component is calculated. This component defect score can intuitively reflect the defect conditions on the surface of the component, such as cracks, pores, roughness, etc. Therefore, surface defects can be detected in a timely manner through the component defect score, avoiding the further expansion of defects during the subsequent manufacturing process, thereby improving the overall quality of the component. Then, based on the component defect score and a standard defect score, the original deposition rate is adjusted to obtain an adjusted deposition rate. This step can dynamically adjust the deposition rate through the comparison between the component defect score and the standard defect score, thereby realizing the real-time optimization of the additive manufacturing process. And by adjusting the deposition rate, the production efficiency can be improved on the premise of ensuring the quality of the component. In addition, the present invention also adjusts the original welding parameter set according to the adjusted deposition rate to obtain an adjusted welding parameter set. This step demonstrates the process of precisely controlling melting deposition, further improving the quality of the component, and can dynamically adjust the welding parameters according to different manufacturing stages and component states, so that the present invention can adapt to complex manufacturing environments and requirements. Finally, by using the adjusted welding parameter set as the new original welding parameter set, the melting deposition process is cyclically executed. This step reduces the influence of random factors on the manufacturing process through multiple cyclic optimizations, improving the stability of component manufacturing. Therefore, the present invention can improve the quality of components and the production efficiency of components during the arc additive manufacturing process. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0075] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0076] An embodiment of the present application provides an optimization method for an arc additive manufacturing process based on deposition rate. The execution subject of the optimization method for the arc additive manufacturing process based on deposition rate includes, but is not limited to, at least one of electronic devices such as a server, a terminal, etc. that can be configured to execute the method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0077] Refer to Figure 1 As shown, it is a schematic flow chart of an optimization method for an arc additive manufacturing process based on deposition rate provided by an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the optimization method for the arc additive manufacturing process based on deposition rate includes:

[0078] S1. Receive an arc additive manufacturing instruction, and determine an original welding parameter set based on the arc additive manufacturing instruction. Among them, the original welding parameter set includes: an original voltage, an original current, and an original wire feeding speed.

[0079] It can be understood that the arc additive manufacturing instruction refers to a signal instruction initiated by a human for arc additive manufacturing. This instruction contains the parameters that need to be set during the arc additive manufacturing process, that is, the original welding parameter set. In the original welding parameter set, it includes: an original voltage, an original current, and an original wire feeding speed. Among them, the original voltage refers to the output voltage of the welding power supply preset during the arc additive manufacturing process, the original current refers to the output current of the welding power supply preset during the arc additive manufacturing process, and the original wire feeding speed refers to the wire feeding speed preset during the arc additive manufacturing process.

[0080] S2. Under the control of the original welding parameter set, use a pre-constructed arc additive manufacturing device to melt and deposit a pre-obtained metal wire to obtain an intermediate metal component. Among them, the duration of the melting and deposition is a preset welding cycle. The arc additive manufacturing device includes: a sensor monitoring unit and a photographing unit.

[0081] It should be explained that the arc additive manufacturing equipment refers to the equipment for melting and depositing metal welding wires. Among them, the sensor monitoring unit refers to the set of temperature sensors, wind speed sensors, and humidity sensors, which are respectively used to detect the temperature, wind speed, and humidity during the melting and deposition process. The shooting unit refers to a high-definition camera used to shoot the components after melting and deposition. In addition to the above-mentioned sensor monitoring unit and shooting unit, the arc additive manufacturing equipment also includes: a power source, a wire feeding system, a welding robot, a welding torch, a shielding gas system, a cooling system, and a fixture workbench. Among them, the power source is used to provide stable arc energy and control the current and voltage during the welding process. The wire feeding system refers to the conveying equipment that transports the metal welding wire from the wire outlet to the arc molten pool, and the speed at which the wire feeding system operates the metal welding wire is the subsequent original wire feeding speed. The welding robot is used to control the movement trajectory of the welding torch during the arc welding process, so that the welding process can proceed along the pre-set path. The shielding gas system refers to the equipment that provides inert gas, which is used to protect the arc molten pool from oxidation and pollution. The cooling system refers to the equipment used to cool the welding torch, and by cooling the welding torch, the problem of overheating of the welding torch is avoided. The fixture workbench refers to a flat table used to fix the workpiece to be processed, ensuring the stability during the processing process.

[0082] It can be understood that the welding cycle refers to the duration of melting and deposition between every two adjustments of the original parameter set. It should be noted that the welding cycle here does not refer to the duration of completing the entire melting and deposition, but the original parameter set in the current melting and deposition process is adjusted every welding cycle.

[0083] S3. Evaluate the welding influencing factors of the melting and deposition step to obtain a welding correction coefficient, and calculate the original deposition rate based on the welding correction coefficient and the original welding parameter set.

[0084] It can be understood that the evaluation of welding influencing factors refers to the process of comprehensively analyzing the influence degree of various factors (including process parameters, environmental conditions, etc.) during the welding process on the melting and deposition effect, so as to obtain the welding correction coefficient. The welding correction coefficient refers to the quantitative value of the influence degree of welding influencing factors and environmental influencing factors on the deposition rate during the melting and deposition process. The greater the influence degree of welding influencing factors and environmental influencing factors on the deposition rate, the greater the welding correction factor. The original deposition rate refers to the volume of the metal welding wire deposited per unit time in the melting and deposition step.

[0085] Specifically, the evaluation of the welding influencing factors of the melting and deposition step to obtain the welding correction coefficient includes:

[0086] Obtain a set of welding influencing factors, where the set of welding influencing factors includes: wire diameter, wire extension length, welding angle, and shielding gas flow rate;

[0087] Detect an environmental impact factor group by using the sensor monitoring unit, where the sensor monitoring unit includes: a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, and a wind speed sensor, and the environmental impact factor group includes: environmental temperature, environmental humidity, and environmental wind speed;

[0088] Calculate a welding correction coefficient according to the welding impact factor group and the environmental impact factor group, where the welding correction coefficient is expressed as:

[0089] ,

[0090] where, represents the welding correction coefficient, represents a preset empirical fitting coefficient, represents the environmental temperature, represents the wire diameter, represents the shielding gas flow rate, represents the wire extension length, represents the environmental humidity, represents the environmental wind speed, represents the sine function, represents the welding angle.

[0091] It is understandable that the wire diameter refers to the diameter of the metal wire used for welding, and the wire extension length refers to the distance from the nozzle of the welding torch to the end of the arc. The welding angle refers to the angle between the welding torch and the surface of the component to be welded. The temperature sensor, humidity sensor, and wind speed sensor respectively refer to the sensors used to detect temperature, humidity, and wind speed, and the environmental temperature, environmental humidity, and environmental wind speed respectively refer to the temperature, humidity, and wind speed of the environment during the melt deposition process. The shielding gas flow rate refers to the volume of shielding gas delivered to the molten pool through the nozzle of the welding torch per unit time. The main function of the shielding gas is to isolate the molten pool from the outside air and prevent the metal in the molten pool from undergoing chemical reactions with oxygen, nitrogen, etc. at high temperatures, thereby avoiding the generation of defects such as oxidation and nitridation. The shielding gas flow rate can be measured by a gas flow meter. The empirical fitting coefficient refers to a constant set artificially based on historical experience, and it can be fitted through multiple previous experiments. Optionally, the empirical fitting coefficient is set to 0.9.

[0092] Specifically, calculating the original deposition rate according to the welding correction coefficient and the original welding parameter group includes:

[0093] Calculate the original deposition rate by using a preset deposition rate calculation formula, where the deposition rate calculation formula is expressed as:

[0094] ,

[0095] where, represents the original deposition rate, represents the original voltage, represents the original current, represents the preset arc efficiency, represents the preset density of the metal welding wire, represents the original wire feeding speed.

[0096] It can be understood that the arc efficiency refers to the energy required to melt a unit mass of the metal welding wire, and the density of the metal welding wire refers to the density of the metal welding wire. Both the arc efficiency and the density of the metal welding wire are related to the metal welding wire, and can be obtained by querying the specification description of the metal welding wire.

[0097] S4. Use the photographing unit to photograph the surface of the intermediate metal member to obtain a member surface image, and based on the member surface image, perform member surface quality analysis on the intermediate metal member to obtain a member defect score.

[0098] It can be understood that the "performing surface photographing" refers to the photographing unit photographing the surface of the intermediate metal member. Among them, the position of the photographing unit is fixed. This solution does not limit the specific position, but it should be noted that the fixed position of the photographing unit should not interfere with the normal operation of the welding torch, and the photographing unit should be able to photograph the surface of the intermediate metal member to the greatest extent. For example: in the pre-determined three-dimensional drawing of the member, if the left side of the intermediate metal member to be welded is a smooth and complete plane, then in order to photograph the surface of the intermediate metal member to the greatest extent, the photographing unit can be fixed on the left side of the intermediate metal member. The "member surface image" refers to the surface image of the intermediate metal member. The "member surface quality analysis" refers to the process of obtaining a member defect score by performing image analysis on the member surface image. The "member defect score" refers to the quantitative value of the surface defect degree of the intermediate metal member. The higher the surface defect degree of the intermediate metal member, the greater the member defect score.

[0099] Specifically, the "performing member surface quality analysis on the intermediate metal member based on the member surface image to obtain a member defect score" includes:

[0100] Perform image detection on the member surface image to obtain a quality evaluation parameter group, where the quality evaluation parameter group includes: crack growth rate and surface roughness;

[0101] Based on the quality evaluation parameter group, use the following formula to calculate the member defect score:

[0102] ,

[0103] where, represents the member defect score, represents the surface roughness, represents the preset standard roughness, Indicates the crack growth rate.

[0104] It should be explained that the crack growth rate refers to the quantitative value of the growth degree of the surface crack of the intermediate metal component compared with the previous melting deposition cycle. The higher the growth degree of the surface crack of the intermediate metal component compared with the previous melting deposition cycle, the greater the crack growth rate. The surface roughness refers to the quantitative value of the roughness degree of the surface of the intermediate metal component. The rougher the surface of the intermediate metal component, the greater the surface roughness. The standard roughness rate refers to the constant of the roughness set artificially.

[0105] Furthermore, the crack growth rate reflects the expansion of the surface crack of the intermediate metal component between adjacent melting deposition cycles. By detecting the crack growth rate, potential problems can be discovered at the initial stage of crack expansion. At the same time, the crack growth rate is closely related to welding process parameters (such as current, voltage, wire feeding speed, etc.). By detecting the crack growth rate, it also helps the staff to judge whether the current process parameters are reasonable. The surface roughness reflects the microscopic unevenness of the component surface. Higher surface roughness may lead to problems such as stress concentration and accelerated corrosion. Therefore, by detecting the surface roughness, the quality of the component surface can be intuitively evaluated.

[0106] Specifically, performing image detection on the surface image of the component to obtain a quality evaluation parameter group, including:

[0107] Gray-scale the surface image of the component to obtain a gray-scale surface image, and perform roughness detection on the gray-scale surface image to obtain the surface roughness;

[0108] Use a preset edge detection algorithm to detect the crack contour of the gray-scale surface image to obtain a crack surface image, and judge whether the crack surface image contains cracks;

[0109] If the crack surface image does not contain cracks, record the crack growth rate as 0;

[0110] If the crack surface image contains cracks, identify the surface crack group in the crack surface image, where the surface crack group includes one or more surface cracks;

[0111] Identify the surface crack length group of the surface crack group, where the surface crack lengths in the surface crack length group correspond one by one to the surface cracks in the surface crack group, and the surface crack length is the length of the corresponding surface crack;

[0112] Calculate the crack growth rate according to the surface crack length group, and confirm the crack growth rate and the surface roughness as the quality evaluation parameter group.

[0113] It is understandable that the grayscale surface image refers to the surface image of the component after grayscale conversion, and the edge detection algorithm refers to an image processing technology that can identify areas with significant changes in grayscale values in a grayscale image. Among them, the areas with significant changes can be regarded as cracks on the surface of the component in the grayscale surface image. Some existing edge detection algorithms can achieve this purpose, such as: Canny edge detection, Sobel edge detection, etc. The cracked surface image refers to the grayscale surface image that highlights the crack contour after edge detection processing. The surface crack group refers to the set of cracks that appear in the cracked surface image, and the surface crack length group refers to the set of the lengths of all surface cracks in the surface crack group.

[0114] Specifically, calculating the crack growth rate according to the surface crack length group includes:

[0115] Constructing a surface crack vector based on the surface crack length group, where the dimension of the surface crack vector is the same as the number of surface crack lengths in the surface crack length group;

[0116] Constructing a historical crack vector according to the surface crack group, where the dimension of the historical crack vector is the same as the dimension of the surface crack vector;

[0117] Calculating the crack growth rate according to the surface crack vector and the historical crack vector, where the crack growth rate is expressed as:

[0118] ,

[0119] Where, represents the dimension of the surface crack vector or the dimension of the historical crack vector, represents the surface crack vector, represents the historical crack vector, represents taking the modulus length.

[0120] It should be explained that the surface crack vector refers to a vector representing the surface crack length information in the surface crack length group, and this surface crack vector is composed of the surface crack lengths in the surface crack length group.

[0121] Exemplarily, a certain surface crack group is: ( , , ), where, , , respectively represent three different cracks, and the lengths of these three cracks are: 2.5 mm, 1.2 mm, 0.9 mm. Then the surface crack length group corresponding to the surface crack group is (2.5 mm, 1.2 mm, 0.9 mm), and the corresponding surface crack vector is: , It should be noted that the order of the surface crack lengths in the surface crack vector should be the same as the order of the surface cracks in the surface crack group.

[0122] It is understandable that the historical crack vector refers to the surface crack vector in the previous cycle (i.e., the previous welding cycle of the current welding cycle). It should be noted that since new cracks may be generated in the current welding cycle, in this case, the number of vector elements in the historical crack vector will be different from the number of vector elements in the surface crack vector. Therefore, when actually constructing the historical crack vector, 0 elements need to be inserted according to the actual situation, and the detailed steps will be given later.

[0123] Specifically, constructing the historical crack vector according to the surface crack group includes:

[0124] Determine the start time of the melting deposition step, and query the previous cycle crack group based on the start time;

[0125] Obtain the number of previous cycle cracks in the previous cycle crack group and the number of surface cracks in the surface crack group respectively, and judge whether the number of previous cycle cracks is equal to the number of surface cracks;

[0126] If the number of previous cycle cracks is equal to the number of surface cracks, obtain the previous cycle crack length group of the previous cycle crack group, and construct the historical crack vector according to the previous cycle crack length group, where the dimension of the historical crack vector is the same as the number of previous cycle crack lengths in the previous cycle crack length group;

[0127] If the number of previous cycle cracks is not equal to the number of surface cracks, identify the newly added crack group and the homologous crack group in the surface crack group;

[0128] Obtain the newly added serial number group and the homologous serial number group of the newly added crack group and the homologous crack group in the surface crack group respectively, where the newly added crack group corresponds to the newly added serial number group one by one, and the homologous crack group corresponds to the homologous serial number group one by one;

[0129] Based on the newly added crack group and the newly added serial number group, expand the previous cycle crack group to obtain the historical crack group, where the historical crack group includes all the previous cycle cracks in the previous cycle crack group and multiple empty cracks, and the arrangement serial number of the previous cycle cracks in the historical crack group is the same as the homologous serial number of the corresponding homologous cracks. The empty crack refers to a crack with a length of 0, and the arrangement serial number of the empty crack in the historical crack group is the same as the newly added serial number of the corresponding newly added crack;

[0130] Obtain the historical crack length group of the historical crack group, and construct the historical crack vector based on the historical crack length group.

[0131] It is understandable that the start time refers to the start time of the melting deposition in the current welding cycle. The previous cycle crack group refers to the surface crack group in the surface component image captured in the previous welding cycle at the start time. It should be noted that when this welding cycle is the first welding cycle, the previous cycle crack group will be an empty set. The previous cycle crack number refers to the number of previous cycle cracks in the previous cycle crack group, and the surface crack number refers to the number of surface cracks in the surface crack group. The previous cycle crack length group refers to the length combination of all previous cycle cracks in the previous cycle crack group.

[0132] It should be explained that the surface crack number should be greater than or equal to the previous cycle crack number, because during the melting deposition process, the cracks will gradually increase or remain unchanged over time, but will not decrease. At the same time, the increase in cracks not only means an increase in the number of cracks, and the newly added cracks at this time are the so-called newly added cracks, but also means that for the same crack, its length becomes longer compared to the previous cycle. Here, the same crack refers to the homologous crack. It is understandable that the newly added serial number refers to the sorting serial number of the newly added cracks in the newly added crack group in the surface crack group, and the homologous serial number refers to the sorting serial number of the homologous cracks in the homologous crack group in the surface crack group. Expanding the previous cycle crack group means using 0 values to supplement the previous cycle crack group with fewer crack numbers to make the crack number consistent with that of the surface crack group.

[0133] Exemplarily, a certain surface crack group is: ( , , ), and its corresponding surface crack length group is (2.5mm, 1.2mm, 0.9mm). The previous cycle crack group in the previous welding cycle is: ( , ), and its corresponding previous cycle crack length group is (2.2mm, 1.0mm). Here, the number of cracks in the previous cycle crack group is not equal to the number of cracks in the surface crack group. At this time, the cracks with the same origin in the surface crack group and the previous cycle crack group are and , and the newly added crack is . Then the newly added crack group and the homologous crack group are respectively ( ) and ( , ), and their corresponding newly added serial number groups and homologous serial number groups are respectively (3) and (1, 2). It should be noted here that although The arrangement serial number is 1 (i.e., it is arranged in the first place), but its arrangement serial number in the surface crack group is 3, so its new serial number is recorded as 3 instead of 1. Since the new cracks in the new crack group do not appear in the previous cycle crack group, it is necessary to increase the positions corresponding to the new serial number group in the previous cycle crack group. Then the previous cycle crack group after the increase is ( , , ). At this time, is a crack with a length of 0. Since the previous cycle crack serial numbers in the previous cycle crack group are the same as the homologous serial number group, no adjustment is required. At this time, the historical crack length group corresponding to the previous cycle crack group after the increase is (2.2 mm, 1.0 mm, 0 mm).

[0134] Specifically, the roughness detection of the grayscale surface image to obtain the surface roughness includes:

[0135] Successively extract the grayscale directions in the preset grayscale direction group, and calculate the gray-level co-occurrence matrix of the grayscale surface image in the grayscale direction;

[0136] Calculate the contrast of the gray-level co-occurrence matrix;

[0137] Summarize the contrasts to obtain a contrast group, and calculate the average contrast of the contrast group, and record the average contrast as the roughness.

[0138] It can be understood that the grayscale direction group refers to a direction combination set artificially. In the calculation of the gray-level co-occurrence matrix, 0 degrees, 45 degrees, 90 degrees, and 135 degrees can be selected as this grayscale direction group. The gray-level co-occurrence matrix refers to a two-dimensional matrix describing the distribution of pixel gray values in the grayscale surface image. Among them, calculating the gray-level co-occurrence matrix of the grayscale surface image in the grayscale direction is a prior art and will not be elaborated here. The contrast refers to a numerical value measuring the change range of pixel gray values in the surface grayscale image, and the average contrast refers to the average value of all contrasts in the contrast group. Calculating the contrast of the gray-level co-occurrence matrix can be achieved through the prior art. For example, the contrast can be calculated through the contrast calculation formula, and the contrast calculation formula is expressed as:

[0139] ,

[0140] Among them, represents the contrast, and respectively represent the gray values of two pixel points in the grayscale surface image, and their value ranges are both from 1 to , represents the number of gray levels of the surface grayscale image, represents the gray value of The frequency of simultaneous occurrence of pixels with a certain value and pixels with a gray value of j in the gray scale direction.

[0141] S5. Adjust the original deposition rate based on the component defect score and a preset standard defect score to obtain an adjusted deposition rate.

[0142] It can be understood that the standard defect score refers to a constant set artificially, which is used to represent the maximum value that the component defect score can be accepted. The adjusted deposition rate refers to the original deposition rate after adjustment.

[0143] Specifically, adjusting the original deposition rate based on the component defect score and the preset standard defect score to obtain an adjusted deposition rate includes:

[0144] Calculate the score data difference between the component defect score and the standard defect score, and determine whether the score data difference is greater than a preset controllable data difference;

[0145] If the score data difference is not greater than the controllable data difference, record the original deposition rate as the adjusted deposition rate;

[0146] If the score data difference is greater than the controllable data difference, calculate the adjusted deposition rate using the following formula:

[0147] ,

[0148] where, represents the adjusted deposition rate, represents the standard defect score.

[0149] It should be explained that the score data difference refers to the difference between the component defect score and the standard defect score, and the controllable data difference refers to a constant set artificially. When the score data difference is not greater than the controllable data difference, it means that the component defect score is within the controllable range and does not need to be adjusted. When the score data difference is greater than the controllable data difference, it means that the deviation between the component defect score and the standard defect score is relatively large.

[0150] It should be noted that when the score data difference is greater than the controllable data difference, if the component defect score is higher than the standard defect score, it means that the number or severity of defects in the current component exceeds the preset acceptable range. In this case, in order to reduce the possible defects in the subsequent fused deposition process, the deposition rate should be appropriately reduced, which can more precisely control the melting process and reduce the generation of defects. On the contrary, when the component defect score is lower than or equal to the standard defect score, it means that the number or severity of defects in the current component is within the acceptable range, or even better than expected. At this time, in order to improve production efficiency, the deposition rate can be appropriately increased to speed up the fused deposition process, thereby improving the manufacturing efficiency while ensuring the quality of the component.

[0151] S6. Adjust the original welding parameter set according to the adjusted deposition rate to obtain an adjusted welding parameter set.

[0152] Understandably, the adjusted welding parameter set includes: adjusted voltage, adjusted current, and adjusted wire feeding speed. The adjusted voltage, adjusted current, and adjusted wire feeding speed respectively refer to the adjusted original voltage, original current, and original wire feeding speed. The detailed steps for adjusting the original welding parameter set are as follows: Determine the adjustment ratio, and the adjustment ratio is: , where represents the adjustment ratio. Since the deposition rate increases as the voltage and current increase, and the deposition rate decreases as the wire feeding speed increases, the original welding parameter set can be adjusted according to the following formula: , , , where , and respectively represent the adjusted voltage, adjusted current, and adjusted wire feeding speed.

[0153] S7. Use the adjusted welding parameter set as the original welding parameter set, and return to the step of melting and depositing the pre-obtained metal wire using the pre-constructed arc additive manufacturing equipment under the control of the original welding parameter set until the intermediate metal component is completed.

[0154] It should be explained that the standard for completing the construction of the intermediate metal component is that the size, shape, and overall structure of the intermediate metal component are consistent with the design model.

[0155] To solve the problems described in the background art, the present invention first determines an original welding parameter set based on an arc additive manufacturing instruction, which provides initial conditions for the subsequent additive manufacturing process. Then, under the control of the original welding parameter set, melting deposition is carried out to obtain an intermediate metal component. Next, an evaluation of the welding influencing factors for the melting deposition step is performed to obtain a welding correction coefficient. This welding correction coefficient combines the factors that may affect the deposition rate during the welding process, making the subsequently calculated original deposition rate more accurate. Further, a component surface image is obtained through an imaging unit, and a component defect score shown by the component surface image is calculated. This component defect score can intuitively reflect the defect conditions on the component surface, such as cracks, pores, roughness, etc. Therefore, surface defects can be detected in a timely manner through the component defect score, avoiding the further expansion of defects during the subsequent manufacturing process, thereby improving the overall quality of the component. Then, based on the component defect score and a standard defect score, the original deposition rate is adjusted to obtain an adjusted deposition rate. This step can dynamically adjust the deposition rate through the comparison between the component defect score and the standard defect score, thereby realizing the real-time optimization of the additive manufacturing process. And by adjusting the deposition rate, the production efficiency can be improved on the premise of ensuring the component quality. In addition, the present invention also adjusts the original welding parameter set according to the adjusted deposition rate to obtain an adjusted welding parameter set. This step demonstrates the process of precisely controlling the melting deposition, further improving the quality of the component, and enabling dynamic adjustment of the welding parameters according to different manufacturing stages and component states, so that the present invention can adapt to complex manufacturing environments and requirements. Finally, by using the adjusted welding parameter set as the new original welding parameter set, the melting deposition process is cyclically executed. This step reduces the influence of random factors on the manufacturing process through multiple cycles of optimization, improving the stability of component manufacturing. Therefore, the present invention can improve the component quality and component production efficiency in the arc additive manufacturing process.
