[0042] Specifically, combined with multi-sensor three-dimensional positioning, dual-spectrum laser ranging, AI intelligent optimization and error dynamic compensation, high-precision wood cutting is realized. A three-dimensional model of wood is constructed by line laser and plane laser sensors, with a measurement frequency of 2000 times / second and a positioning error controlled within ±0.08mm. Visible light and infrared light fusion ranging is adopted, and the laser wavelength and power are dynamically adjusted within 50ms to ensure ranging accuracy.

The infrared laser uses an infrared laser source with a wavelength of 800-940 nm and a power range of 10-20 mW, which is used to deal with the situation where the wood surface color is deep or the reflectivity is low. The wavelength and power of the laser are adjusted in real time by the built-in photoelectric adjustment module according to the feedback information from the wood surface, which includes reflected light intensity and color, within 45-50 ms.

[0044] Specifically, the visible light laser uses a semiconductor laser source with a wavelength of 400-450 nm and a power range of 5-10 mW, which has a high color resolution and can clearly capture the detailed information of the wood surface, including wood texture, color changes, and surface structure characteristics, allowing the system to accurately identify the characteristics of the wood surface and provide more accurate path planning data in the subsequent cutting process. The infrared laser uses an infrared laser source with a wavelength of 800-940 nm and a power range of 10-20 mW, which is mainly used to adapt to the situation where the wood surface color is deep or the reflectivity is low. Due to the longer wavelength of infrared light, it has better penetration and can reduce measurement errors caused by differences in surface reflectivity, improving the stability of distance measurement. During distance measurement, the system adjusts the wavelength and power of the laser in real time based on the feedback information from the wood surface through the built-in high-precision photoelectric adjustment module, to adapt to different wood characteristics and environmental conditions. This 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 wavelength and power of the laser within 45-50 ms based on these data, ensuring that the distance measurement accuracy always maintains within the predetermined range, avoiding measurement errors caused by changes in wood surface characteristics. In addition, the system also has adaptive adjustment function, which can automatically optimize the laser parameters in complex wood environment, making the measurement data more stable and reliable, thereby improving the precision and quality of subsequent cutting process. Through this dual-spectrum laser fusion distance measurement technology, the invention can effectively solve the problem of large distance measurement error of traditional single-wavelength laser distance measurement method when the wood surface characteristics change greatly, improve the adaptability to different types of wood, and provide higher precision positioning information for subsequent intelligent cutting process.

[0045] S3, features include texture, knot, crack and density unevenness, the optimized cutting path is used to avoid the defect area to avoid waste of wood, the AI algorithm adopts a U-Net neural network algorithm based on deep learning, the neural network structure includes 5 convolution layers, the convolution kernel sizes are 3*3, 5*5 and 7*7 respectively, the step is 1, and 3 fully connected layers, the number of neurons is 128, 64 and 32 respectively, which are used to analyze the features of the texture, knot, crack and density unevenness of the wood.

[0046] Specifically, first, the image data of the wood surface is obtained 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. Then, the U-Net neural network processes these data, analyzes the texture direction, knot position, crack range and density change of the wood, and forms a complete wood feature map. For texture analysis, the system extracts the feature parameters of the wood surface gray level co-occurrence matrix, 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, gray value and edge features of the circular or elliptical region in the image, to accurately determine the position and size of the knot and prevent the quality of the finished product from being reduced due to the cutting of the knife on the knot; for cracks, the length and depth of the crack are detected through the pixel gradient change and continuity analysis algorithm, and an avoidance path is generated; for the case of uneven density, the X-ray density imaging algorithm is used 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 maximize the avoidance of defect areas while ensuring the maximum utilization of wood. The intelligent path optimization algorithm generates a cutting path according to the characteristics of the wood to minimize the cutting length, reduce waste, and avoid the impact of knots and cracks on the quality of the finished product by intelligently allocating cutting areas. The optimization algorithm can complete path adjustment within 100ms and update cutting sequence and process parameters in real time to adapt to different actual situations of wood. Through the AI intelligent path optimization technology of the present application, the utilization rate of wood can be effectively improved by 12%-15%, the processing loss is reduced, the production efficiency is improved, and the stability and consistency of the finished product quality are ensured, thereby greatly improving the precision and intelligent level of the cutting process of woodworking machinery.

[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, and to construct an error prediction model. The LSTM model stores historical data and dynamically updates short-term data, so that the system can predict the error change trend in different operating environments and complete error compensation calculation within 150ms. Specifically, the error prediction model first calculates the real-time displacement error using sensor data, analyzes the system error pattern in combination with historical data, and then generates an error correction value. Then, the system adjusts the laser cutting path and focal length to dynamically correct errors caused by device offset, vibration or environmental factors, ensuring 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 deep fusion algorithm to synchronize sensor error correction, so that the final positioning error is controlled within ±0.08mm. This compensation mechanism not only applies to static precise positioning, but also adapts to dynamic cutting scenarios, improving the system's adaptability to complex working conditions. Through the laser error dynamic compensation technology of the present application, cutting deviation caused by device jitter or external interference can be effectively reduced, cutting precision can be improved, cutting quality consistency can be ensured, waste rate can be reduced, and processing efficiency can be improved, providing stable and reliable technical support for high-precision woodworking machinery cutting.

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

[0053] After the pre-scribing is completed, the CNC mechanical cutting equipment performs the final cutting, by combining the laser pre-scribing with the mechanical cutting, the process overcomes the deviation problem caused by the changes in wood hardness, knots or cracks, etc. in single mechanical cutting, while effectively reducing the burr, burning or edge tearing phenomenon generated in the cutting process. In addition, the double-process cutting method can reduce the cutting resistance of the mechanical cutter, thereby reducing the cutter wear, improving the service life of the equipment, and ensuring the smoothness of the cutting surface, significantly improving the wood processing accuracy, ensuring high-quality cutting, while reducing wood waste and improving production efficiency. Compared with the traditional single cutting process, the present application can improve the accuracy and reduce the waste caused by cutting errors through the double-process cooperative cutting, so that the final product quality is more stable and reliable.
