Automatic feedback and optimization learning: Adopt automatic feedback mechanism to record the errors in each cutting process in real time, continuously optimize cutting parameters through reinforcement learning algorithm, self-learn the best cutting path and parameter adjustment strategy, and improve cutting accuracy and efficiency as the use time increases.

[0041] In S1, wood data is used to obtain wood three-dimensional surface data based on the principle of laser reflection to create a wood digital model. The laser measurement frequency is set to 2000 times / second, and the positioning error is controlled to ±0.08mm. The laser sensor uses a line laser sensor and a surface laser sensor. The line laser sensor has a scanning frequency of 1000-1200Hz, a measurement range of 0-80m, and an accuracy of ±1mm. It is used to obtain linear contour data on the wood surface. The surface laser sensor has a scanning rate of 45000-50000 points / second, and a measurement accuracy of ±2mm. It is used to obtain two-dimensional plane data on the wood surface.

[0042] Specifically, high-precision wood cutting is achieved by combining multi-sensor three-dimensional positioning, dual-spectrum laser ranging, AI intelligent optimization and dynamic error compensation. The three-dimensional model of wood is constructed by line laser and surface laser sensors, with a measurement frequency of 2000 times / second and a positioning error controlled at ±0.08mm. Visible light and infrared light are used for ranging, and the laser wavelength and power are dynamically adjusted within 50ms to ensure ranging accuracy. AI intelligent optimization path, based on U-Net algorithm to identify wood texture, knots and cracks, improves utilization and reduces waste. IMU sensor combines LSTM algorithm for real-time error compensation, while adaptive laser focal length adjustment ensures cutting accuracy. The dual process method of "laser pre-scribing + CNC mechanical cutting" is adopted to optimize cutting quality, and the error is automatically fed back with the help of DQN reinforcement learning algorithm to achieve continuous parameter optimization. The overall solution improves cutting accuracy and efficiency and reduces material waste through intelligent control.

[0043] The S2 uses a semiconductor laser source with a wavelength of 400-450nm and a power range of 5-10mW for visible light lasers, which are used to clearly capture the details of the wood surface, including texture and color details. The infrared laser uses an infrared laser source with a wavelength of 800-940nm and a power range of 10-20mW, which is used to deal with situations where the wood surface is darker or has lower reflectivity. The wavelength and power of the laser are adjusted in real time through the built-in photoelectric adjustment module according to the feedback information from the wood surface, and the laser wavelength and power are adjusted within 45-50ms. The feedback information includes the intensity and color of the reflected light.

[0044] Specifically, the visible light laser uses a semiconductor laser source with a wavelength of 400-450nm and a power range of 5-10mW. It has the characteristics of high color resolution and can clearly capture the detailed information of the wood surface, including wood texture, color changes and surface structural characteristics, so that the system can accurately identify the characteristics of the wood surface, thereby providing more accurate path planning data in the subsequent cutting process. The infrared laser uses an infrared laser source with a wavelength of 800-940nm and a power range of 10-20mW. It is mainly used to adapt to the situation where the wood surface is darker or has lower reflectivity. Due to the longer wavelength of infrared light and stronger penetration, it can reduce the measurement error caused by the difference in surface reflectivity and improve the ranging stability. During the ranging process, the system uses the built-in high-precision photoelectric adjustment module to adjust the wavelength and power of the laser in real time according to the information fed back from the wood surface to adapt to different wood characteristics and environmental conditions. The photoelectric adjustment module can receive feedback data from the sensor in real time, including the reflected light intensity and color information of the wood surface, and dynamically adjust the laser wavelength and power within 45-50ms based on these data, ensuring that the ranging accuracy is always maintained within the predetermined range, avoiding measurement errors caused by changes in wood surface characteristics. In addition, the system also has an adaptive adjustment function, which can automatically optimize laser parameters in complex wood environments, making the measurement data more stable and reliable, thereby improving the accuracy and quality of subsequent cutting processes. Through the dual-spectrum laser fusion ranging technology, the present invention can effectively solve the problem of large ranging errors in traditional single-wavelength laser ranging methods when the surface characteristics of wood change greatly, improve the adaptability to different types of wood, and provide more accurate positioning information for subsequent intelligent cutting processes.

[0045] In S3, the features include texture, knots, cracks and uneven density. The optimized cutting path is used to avoid defective areas to avoid wasting wood. The AI ​​algorithm adopts the U-Net neural network algorithm based on deep learning. Its neural network structure includes 5 convolutional layers with convolution kernel sizes of 3×3, 5×5, and 7×7, respectively, and a step size of 1, as well as 3 fully connected layers with 128, 64, and 32 neurons respectively, which are used to analyze the characteristics of wood texture, knots, cracks and uneven density.

[0046] Specifically, firstly, the image data of the wood surface is acquired through a high-precision imaging system, and the internal density distribution of the wood is detected in combination with X-ray or laser scanning data. Subsequently, the U-Net neural network processes these data, analyzes the wood's texture direction, knot position, crack range, density change and other information, and forms a complete wood feature map. For texture analysis, the system extracts characteristic parameters of the grayscale co-occurrence matrix of the wood surface, such as contrast, correlation, energy and entropy, to determine the texture direction and optimize the cutting direction; for knots, the target detection algorithm is used to identify the area, grayscale value and edge features of circular or elliptical areas in the image, accurately determine the location and size of the knot, and prevent the quality of the finished product from being reduced due to the knife cutting the knot; for cracks, the length and depth of the cracks are detected through pixel gradient changes and continuity analysis algorithms, and an avoidance path is generated; for uneven density, the X-ray density imaging algorithm is combined to identify high-density and low-density areas, and the cutting path is adjusted to optimize the performance of the finished product;

[0047] Based on the above analysis results, the core goal of optimizing the cutting path is to avoid defective areas as much as possible while ensuring maximum utilization of wood. The intelligent path optimization algorithm will generate a cutting path based on the characteristics of the wood to minimize the cutting length and reduce waste generation. At the same time, it will intelligently allocate the cutting area to avoid the impact of knots and cracks on the quality of the finished product. The optimization algorithm can complete the path adjustment within 100ms, and update the cutting sequence and process parameters in real time to adapt to the actual conditions of different woods. Through the AI ​​intelligent path optimization technology of the present invention, the utilization rate of wood can be effectively improved by 12%-15%, processing losses can be reduced, and production efficiency can be improved. At the same time, the stability and consistency of the quality of the finished product can be ensured, thereby greatly improving the accuracy and intelligence level of the woodworking machinery cutting process.

[0048] In S4, the I MU inertial sensor is used to monitor the acceleration and angular velocity changes of the equipment in the X, Y, and Z directions in real time. The acceleration measurement range is ±16g, the accuracy is ±0.01g, the angular velocity measurement range is ±2000dps, and the accuracy is ±0.1dps. The deep learning algorithm uses the long short-term memory network LSTM algorithm to analyze the data collected by the I MU sensor and the positioning data fed back by the laser positioning system, and to build an error prediction model. The error prediction model dynamically compensates for the positioning error in 140-150ms, so that the cutting path accuracy is improved to within ±0.08mm.

[0049] Specifically, the long short-term memory network (LSTM) deep learning algorithm is used to analyze the motion data collected by the IMU sensor and the actual positioning data fed back by the laser positioning system to build an error prediction model. The LSTM model enables the system to predict the error change trend under different operating environments and complete the error compensation calculation within 150ms by storing historical data for a long time and dynamically updating it in a short time. Specifically, the error prediction model first uses sensor data to calculate the real-time displacement error, and analyzes the system error pattern in combination with historical data to generate an error correction value. Then, the system dynamically corrects the errors caused by equipment offset, vibration or environmental factors by adjusting the laser cutting path and focal length to ensure that the cutting path is consistent with the theoretical path;

[0050] In addition, to further optimize the compensation accuracy, the system combines laser ranging data and uses a deep fusion algorithm to synchronously correct sensor errors, so that the final positioning error is controlled within ±0.08mm. This compensation mechanism is not only suitable for static precise positioning, but also can adapt to dynamic cutting scenarios and improve the system's adaptability to complex working conditions. Through the laser error dynamic compensation technology of the present invention, it is possible to effectively reduce cutting deviations caused by equipment jitter or external interference, improve cutting accuracy, ensure the consistency of cutting quality, and at the same time reduce scrap rates and improve processing efficiency, providing stable and reliable technical support for high-precision woodworking machinery cutting.

[0051] S5 medium and double process cutting includes laser pre-scribing and mechanical cutting. The laser power of low-power laser pre-scribing is 3-5mW, the laser beam diameter is 0.1-0.2mm, the pre-scribing speed is 10-15mm / s, the cutting speed of CNC mechanical cutting equipment is 50-150mm / s, and the cutting accuracy is ±0.03mm.

[0052] Specifically, first, before cutting, a low-power laser is used for pre-scribing to clarify the cutting path and ensure the accuracy of the cutting process. This pre-scribing not only provides an accurate reference for subsequent mechanical cutting, but also reduces cutting deviations caused by changes in wood density or different grain directions, and improves cutting consistency and accuracy;

[0053] After completing the pre-scribing, the CNC mechanical cutting equipment performs the final cutting. By combining laser pre-scribing with mechanical cutting, this process overcomes the deviation problem that may be caused by changes in wood hardness, knots or cracks in single mechanical cutting, and effectively reduces burrs, burns or edge tears generated during the cutting process. In addition, this dual-process cutting method can reduce the cutting resistance of the mechanical tool, thereby reducing tool wear, increasing the service life of the equipment, and ensuring the smoothness of the cutting surface, significantly improving the accuracy of wood processing, ensuring high-quality cutting, while reducing wood waste and improving production efficiency. Compared with the traditional single cutting process, the present invention uses dual-process collaborative cutting, which can not only improve accuracy, but also reduce waste loss caused by cutting errors, making the quality of the final product more stable and reliable.

[0054] The gas pressure range of S6 medium and high pressure air flow injection device is 0.5-0.8MPa, and the gas flow rate is 2-3m 3 / min, using a nozzle of model SV-10, the nozzle nozzle diameter is 2-3mm, the water mist particle diameter of the water mist injection device is 10-20μm, the water spray pressure is 0.3-0.5MPa, the water spray flow rate is 1-2L / min, and a fine water mist is formed through a nozzle of model WS-20, the number of nozzle nozzle holes is 10-15.

[0055] Specifically, through the powerful power of high-pressure airflow, the heat generated during the cutting process can be quickly and effectively taken away, and the temperature of the cutting area can be reduced, thereby preventing the wood from deforming, cracking or burning due to excessive temperature, and ensuring the flatness and quality of the wood cutting surface. The water mist spray device further improves the cooling effect by spraying fine water mist. The diameter range of the water mist particles is 10-20μm, the water spray pressure is set to 0.3-0.5MPa, and the water spray flow rate is 1-2L / min. A uniform water mist is formed by a nozzle model WS-20, and the number of nozzle holes is 10-15, which can form a uniform cooling coverage in the cutting area. The fine water mist not only helps to reduce the temperature of the cutting area and reduce the thermal stress on the wood surface, but also effectively prevents the wood surface from burning or scorching, and improves the surface quality and fineness of the wood after cutting.

[0056] The cooling and heat protection system can provide a stable cooling effect in the high temperature environment of laser cutting, ensuring that the temperature fluctuation of the wood during the cutting process is minimized, thereby improving the cutting accuracy, reducing material waste, and effectively extending the service life of the cutting equipment. Through the combined use of high-pressure airflow and water mist, the present invention can provide a multi-dimensional cooling solution to meet the processing requirements of wood of different materials and ensure that the final cutting quality meets high-precision requirements.

[0057] In S7, environmental parameters include temperature, humidity and dust concentration. The accuracy of temperature monitoring is ±0.2℃, the accuracy of humidity monitoring is ±2%RH, and the accuracy of dust concentration monitoring is ±1mg / m 3 , negative pressure dust collection system, when the dust concentration is less than 50mg / m 3 When the dust concentration is higher than 80mg / m 3 When cleaning, adjust the suction force to 400-500Pa.

[0058] Specifically, the intelligent environmental adjustment system continuously monitors the working environment to ensure a stable and reliable cutting process. The temperature control accuracy is ±0.2°C, the humidity detection error does not exceed ±2%RH, and the dust concentration perception accuracy is controlled within ±1mg / m 3 The negative pressure dust removal module automatically adjusts the operating state according to the dust level, maintaining 200-300Pa at low values ​​and increasing to 400-500Pa at high values, quickly removing particles and ensuring beam stability. The system optimizes the working environment, reduces interference factors, improves processing quality, and effectively extends the life of the equipment.

[0059] S8 can detect the change of wood thickness in real time, using thickness sensor with detection accuracy of ±0.05mm and detection frequency of 450-500Hz. It can automatically adjust the laser focal length using electric zoom lens.

[0060] Specifically, the system monitors the change in wood thickness in real time and automatically adjusts the laser focal length to ensure that the laser always maintains the best focus state, thereby improving cutting accuracy and reducing errors caused by focus offset. The high-precision thickness sensor continuously detects wood thickness at a frequency of 450-500Hz with an accuracy of ±0.05mm and transmits the data to the control system. After the system calculates the thickness change, it drives the electric zoom lens to automatically adjust the laser focal length to ensure that the focus is always at the optimal cutting depth. The system can dynamically adapt to differences in wood thickness, avoid cutting too deep or too shallow due to thickness changes, and improve processing consistency. At the same time, it reduces the need for repeated adjustments, improves cutting efficiency, reduces material waste and equipment wear, and ensures long-term stability.

[0061] In S9, the automatic feedback mechanism is used to record the error data in the cutting process in real time. The error data includes positioning error, cutting path deviation, and cutting depth error. The recording frequency is 10 times / cutting process. The reinforcement learning algorithm adopts the deep Q network DQN algorithm. After completing 20 cuts, the cutting parameters are optimized according to the recorded error data within 300-400ms. The cutting error gradually decreases at a rate of 0.02mm each time the optimization is carried out, and the cutting efficiency gradually increases at a rate of 2% each time the optimization is carried out.

[0062] Specifically, the automatic feedback and optimization system improves cutting accuracy and efficiency through real-time error recording and reinforcement learning algorithms. The system records 10 error data during each cutting process, including positioning error, path deviation and depth error, and uses the deep Q network (DQN) algorithm for optimization. After completing 20 cuts, the system analyzes the error data within 300-400ms and dynamically adjusts the cutting parameters to gradually reduce the cutting error, reducing it by 0.02mm each time it is optimized, while increasing cutting efficiency by 2%. This mechanism ensures that the system continuously improves itself, reduces precision deviations, improves processing consistency, and achieves efficient and accurate intelligent cutting in long-term operation.
