[0031] The robot laser thin plate welding residual stress reduction and homogenization device of the present application is suitable for reducing and homogenizing the welding residual stress of the weld when the robot is used to perform laser welding on the thin plate to be welded. Specifically, an embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the residual stress reduction and homogenization device for laser thin plate welding by a manipulator includes a workbench 100, a copper pressing plate 110 and an ultrasonic transducer 200. The workbench 100 is a plate-like structure with a certain thickness, and the upper part is a flat structure, which is suitable for placing the thin plate to be welded. When the manipulator is needed to weld the thin plate to be welded, the thin plate to be welded is first placed on the upper surface of the workbench. The manipulator can be used to weld the thin plate to be welded later.
[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, a through hole is provided on the workbench 100, and the through hole is set from the top to the bottom of the workbench. The ultrasonic transducer 200 is arranged at the bottom of the workbench 100, and the ultrasonic transducer 200 corresponds to the through hole position of the workbench 100. The ultrasonic transducer can transmit energy upward to the thin plate placed on the workbench through the through hole on the workbench, thereby exerting an effect on the residual stress of the weld during the welding process. A through hole is provided on the ultrasonic transducer 200, and the through hole can penetrate the two ends of the ultrasonic transducer 200. The horn 210 connected to the ultrasonic transducer is a cylinder, and flanges are provided at both ends of the horn 210. One end of the horn 210 penetrates the through hole of the workbench 100 and is connected to the thin plate to be welded, and the other end is connected to one end of the ultrasonic transducer 200. Thus, the horn 210 can transmit the energy of the ultrasonic transducer to the welded thin plate. Moreover, the horn 210 can increase the heat dissipation area of the ultrasonic transducer 200. Furthermore, a copper pressing plate 110 is also provided in this embodiment. The copper pressing plate 110 is detachably provided on the top of the workbench 100. During welding, the thin plate to be welded is provided between the copper pressing plate 110 and the workbench 100. The copper pressing plate 110 ensures that the position of the thin plate to be welded is stable and prevents movement.
[0033] Specifically, the robot laser welds several thin plates to be welded, and first places the thin plates to be welded on the workbench 100. In order to ensure that the thin plates to be welded do not move during the entire welding process, a detachable copper pressure plate 110 is provided on the top of the workbench 100, and the copper pressure plate 110 is pressed to the top of the thin plates to be welded. Therefore, the copper pressure plate 110 cooperates with the workbench 100 to fix and press the thin plates to be welded. In order to reduce and equalize the residual stress generated during welding, an ultrasonic transducer 200 is provided at the bottom of the workbench 100, and a through hole is provided on the workbench 100. The setting position of the ultrasonic transducer 200 corresponds to the position of the through hole of the workbench 100, so that the ultrasonic transducer can transmit energy to the thin plate on the workbench through the through hole to reduce and equalize the residual stress of the welding weld. Furthermore, in order to better reduce and homogenize the residual stress generated during welding, a plurality of vias and a plurality of ultrasonic transducers 200 are provided on the workbench 100, and each ultrasonic transducer corresponds to a via. Of course, in the specific implementation process, the number of vias may also be more than the number of ultrasonic transducers. However, each transducer needs to correspond to a via to ensure that the energy of the ultrasonic transducer can be transmitted to the welded thin plate through the via. It should be further explained that in the embodiment of the present application, when welding, the weld should be placed along the line of multiple vias to ensure that vias are provided on both sides of the weld, so that the residual stress of the weld can be reduced and homogenized from both sides of the weld.
[0034] Specifically, the positions of the vias on the workbench can be set according to the shape of the weld of the thin plate to be welded. The arrangement route of the vias on the workbench is set to match the shape of the weld of the thin plate to be welded. For example, if the weld of the thin plate to be welded is a straight line, a plurality of vias arranged in a straight line are set, and a group of vias arranged along the straight line can also be arranged, with two vias in each group, which are respectively set on two symmetrical sides. When the weld is a curve, a plurality of vias are opened along the curve on the workbench, or a plurality of via groups are set along the curve, and the two vias in each group are set on both sides of the curve. The specific number of vias can be set according to actual needs. As an implementable embodiment, the workbench can be in a rectangular shape. The plurality of vias can be distributed in a matrix with a preset distance between them.
[0035] In a possible implementation, the ultrasonic transducer 200 includes: an horn 210, a front cover 220, a piezoelectric ceramic sheet 230, an electrode sheet 240 and a rear cover 250. The horn 210 is a cylinder, and flanges are provided at both ends of the horn 210. One end of the horn 210 passes through the through hole of the workbench 100 and is connected to the thin plate to be welded, and the other end of the horn 210 is connected to one end of the ultrasonic transducer 200. The piezoelectric ceramic sheet 230 is provided at the opposite end where the front cover 220 is connected to the horn 210; the electrode sheet 240 is provided at the opposite end where the voltage ceramic sheet 220 is connected to the front cover; the rear cover 250 is provided at the opposite end where the electrode sheet 240 is connected to the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 230, and a clamping nut 250 is provided at the other end of the rear cover 250; and the through hole passes through the front cover 220, the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 230, the electrode sheet 240 and the rear cover 250.
[0036] Specifically, Figures 2 to 3As shown, the specific structure of the ultrasonic transducer 200 includes a horn 210, a front end cover 220, a piezoelectric ceramic sheet 230, an electrode sheet 240 and a rear end cover 250. When the ultrasonic transducer 200 is working, the ultrasonic transducer 200 generates heat. In order to increase the heat dissipation area of the ultrasonic transducer 200, a horn 210 is provided. The horn 210 is provided between the ultrasonic transducer 200 and the workbench 100. In order to facilitate the connection between the horn 210 and the ultrasonic transducer 200 and the workbench 100, flanges are provided at both ends of the horn 210. One end of the horn 210 passes through the through hole of the workbench 100 and abuts against the thin plate to be welded. The other end of the horn 210 is connected to one end of the ultrasonic transducer 200. The piezoelectric ceramic sheet 230 is a core component of the ultrasonic transducer 200, which can realize the mutual conversion between electrical energy and mechanical energy. The piezoelectric ceramic 230 is a ceramic material with a piezoelectric effect. When an alternating voltage is applied to the piezoelectric ceramic 230, it will generate an alternating strain, thereby realizing the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy. In this embodiment, the electrode sheet 240 is provided to connect the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 230 and the external circuit, and the clamping nut 260 is provided to make the structure of the ultrasonic transducer more complete, so that the horn 210, the front cover 220, the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 230, the electrode sheet 240 and the rear cover 250 are more closely fitted.
[0037] In a possible implementation, the copper pressing plate 110 is arranged on the top of the thin plate to be welded, and is close to the welding seam of the thin plate to be welded at a position of 15 mm. A groove is provided near the end of the weld seam of the copper pressing plate 110, and the slope of the groove is α, and α is 45°. Preferably, the copper pressing plate is a brass pressing plate.
[0038] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, a copper pressing plate 110 is placed on the upper part of the thin plate to be welded, and the copper pressing plate 110 is pressed on both sides of the weld. A clamping device is used on the copper pressing plate 110 to press it on the workbench 100 to prevent the ultrasonic transducer 200 from vibrating during operation, causing the position of the thin plate to be welded to change and affect the welding process. A 45° groove is opened near the weld. The use of a brass pressing plate can increase heat conduction, speed up heat dissipation, and reduce the heat at the weld of the welded plate. Large and uneven heat input is an important cause of welding residual stress. Pressing the copper pressing plate 110 to promote heat dissipation can better improve the mechanical properties of the weld and reduce welding residual stress.
[0039] In a possible implementation, a power cord 310 and an ultrasonic power supply 300 are further included, one end of the power cord 310 is connected to the compression nut 260 , and the other end of the power cord 310 is connected to the ultrasonic power supply 300 .
[0040] Specifically, Figure 3As shown, in order to enable the ultrasonic transducer 200 to work, an ultrasonic power supply 300 is provided, and the ultrasonic transducer 200 is connected to the ultrasonic power supply 300 via a power line 310 to supply power to the ultrasonic transducer 200.
[0041] In a possible implementation, both the ultrasonic transducer 200 and the ultrasonic power supply 300 are provided in plurality, and the number of the ultrasonic transducer 200 is the same as the number of the ultrasonic power supply 300 .
[0042] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, in order to control a single ultrasonic transducer 200 to work according to actual needs, a plurality of ultrasonic power supplies 300 are provided, and one ultrasonic power supply 300 controls a corresponding ultrasonic transducer 200, so the number of ultrasonic transducers 200 is the same as that of ultrasonic power supplies 300.
[0043] In a possible implementation, a host computer 400 is further included. The host computer 400 is electrically connected to the ultrasonic power supply 300, and the ultrasonic power supply 300 is connected to the host computer 400 using the RS485 protocol.
[0044] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, in order to be able to regulate the ultrasonic transducer 200, a host computer 400 is set up. The host computer 400 can simultaneously control the ultrasonic transducer 200 to regulate the welding process of the thin plate to be welded. During the welding process, it is not appropriate to apply ultrasound at the molten pool where the welding gun is located, because applying ultrasound at this time will affect the weld performance at the molten pool. However, when welding is just over and the molten pool is in a hot state, applying ultrasound can more effectively improve the weld performance and reduce residual stress. When the host computer 400 can control the ultrasonic transducer 200 in real time for regulation, it can be linked in time and space with the set robot welding trajectory, so that the ultrasonic transducer 200 located at the welding gun position works at a lower power or does not work, while the molten pool at the past position of the welding gun is applied with high power for stress reduction and regulation.
[0045] Among them, the upper computer 400 includes an interactive interface and a bottom layer sequence. Preferably, a self-edited csv file (control process card) can be selected, and the ultrasonic control process can be set according to different trajectories and welding conditions to meet various working conditions. The interactive interface includes an import interface, a timing start button and a parameter display. The bottom program includes a csv decoding part, a command execution part and a palindrome decoding part. The import interface controls the csv decoding part so that the csv decoding part decodes the edited csv file and provides an execution plan. The timing start button controls the command execution part so that the command execution part executes the above-mentioned execution plan, so that the command execution part sends control instructions to the ultrasonic power supply 300 at a regular interval. The ultrasonic power supply 300 returns a parameter data frame, and the parameter data frame enters the palindrome decoding part for decoding, and finally is displayed on the parameter display interface of the interactive interface.
[0046] In a possible implementation, an ultrasonic transducer holder is also included, which is a hollow cylinder with openings at both ends, and the ultrasonic transducer holder is fixedly arranged below the workbench 100. A plurality of screw holes are provided on the ultrasonic transducer holder, and the horn of the ultrasonic transducer is fixed to the holder through the screw holes. A spring and a screw are also included, the screw passes through the screw hole, and the spring is arranged between the screw and the screw hole. The ultrasonic transducer holder is fixed below the workbench 100 and is connected and fixed to the bottom surface of the workbench. The ultrasonic transducer 200 is fixed to the bottom of the workbench through the ultrasonic transducer holder, and the horn 210 passes through the ultrasonic transducer holder and contacts the thin plate to be welded. The ultrasonic transducer 200 is integrated with the workbench 100 through the ultrasonic transducer holder, avoiding the need to install the ultrasonic transducer 200 before welding, saving a certain amount of time.
[0047] In a possible implementation, a coupling agent is applied to the connection end between the horn 210 and the thin plate to be welded; and a high-temperature heat-conducting material is applied between the copper pressing plate 110 and the thin plate to be welded.
[0048] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, coupling agent is applied to the connection end of the horn 210 and the thin plate to be welded in order to achieve better heat conduction.
[0049] A method for reducing and equalizing residual stress in welding of metal sheets includes the following specific steps: Step 1: Using the above-mentioned device, adopting robot laser welding, setting welding trajectory and parameters; Step 2: Placing the thin plate to be welded on the workbench 100, with the amplitude transformer 210 close to both sides of the weld, and placing a copper pressing plate 110 on the upper part of the thin plate to be welded and pressing it tightly; Step 3: The ultrasonic transducer 200 and the ultrasonic power supply 300 are connected and corresponded one to one through the power line 310, specifying a specific serial number, and connected to the host computer 400 through the power line 310.
[0050] Specifically, step 1: use the above-mentioned device, adopt robot laser welding, set welding trajectory and parameters; step 2: place the thin plate to be welded on the workbench 100, place the copper pressing plate 110 on the upper part of the thin plate to be welded, make the copper pressing plate 110 and the workbench 100 cooperate, press the thin plate to be welded, make the horn 210 close to both sides of the weld, and place the thin plate to be welded on the workbench 100 during the welding process. Displacement; step 3: The ultrasonic transducer 200 and the ultrasonic power supply 300 are connected and corresponded one by one through the power line 310, specify a specific serial number, and are connected to the host computer 400 through the power line 310. The host computer 400 controls the ultrasonic power supply 300 through an internal specific program, and the ultrasonic power supply 300 provides power to the ultrasonic transducer 200, so that the ultrasonic transducer 300 starts working.
[0051] The present application sets a workbench 100, a copper pressure plate 110, an ultrasonic transducer 200, an ultrasonic power supply and a host computer 400. The workbench 100 is set in order to complete the welding work on the workbench 100. The copper pressure plate 110 cooperates with the workbench 100 to fix and press the thin plate to be welded. The ultrasonic transducer 200 is set in order to reduce and equalize the residual stress generated during welding. In order to enable the ultrasonic transducer 200 to work, an ultrasonic power supply 300 is set. The ultrasonic transducer 200 and the ultrasonic power supply 300 are connected through a power line 310. In order to be able to regulate the ultrasonic transducer 200, a host computer 400 is set. The host computer 400 can simultaneously control the ultrasonic transducer 200 to regulate the welding process of the thin plate to be welded. Through the above settings, the present application can effectively reduce and equalize the residual stress generated during welding, and solve the problem that the residual stress generated when welding thin plates causes the subsequent use and work of the material to affect the stability and performance of the structure.
