Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of additive manufacturing, and in particular to a safety control system and method for arc additive manufacturing of large ship structural parts. Background Art

[0002] Compared with traditional manufacturing methods, additive manufacturing methods can significantly improve material utilization, shorten product development cycles, etc., and achieve almost any complex geometric shape by stacking layers, breaking through the process limitations of traditional milling, casting, etc., and to a certain extent improving the design freedom of ship, aviation, and aerospace products. At the same time, mobile distributed manufacturing methods significantly improve the size, shape, and performance of manufactured structural parts, greatly improving product performance. Typical ship structural parts have the characteristics of large scale, complex topological structure, and high mechanical performance requirements. Traditional manufacturing methods such as casting and forging are prone to internal defects when manufacturing typical structural parts, and the tool is difficult to reach and the qualified rate is low. Therefore, gantry-based or mobile additive manufacturing systems are widely used in the manufacture of complex large-size parts such as ships, aviation, and aerospace. Unlike traditional industrial robot manufacturing units, additive manufacturing systems require operators to work collaboratively in the working area during the operation process, that is, human-in-the-loop additive manufacturing flexible manufacturing units. Unlike industrial robots working in closed structural environments, additive manufacturing systems can collaborate with people in specific areas to achieve manufacturing mode changes in discrete manufacturing industries. Therefore, the safety of operators or non-operators during the operation process is an issue that must be considered in the design of the additive manufacturing system. A safety control system is needed to ensure that the robot will not cause harm to personnel, equipment and the environment during operation. For example, protective fences and arc-proof plates are necessary protective devices for additive manufacturing systems. In terms of safety control during the operation of operators, patents CN111546331B and CN 118009874A disclose a human-machine collaborative robot safety protection system-level safety protection method and a human operator behavior safety detection system and method for industrial robots. The distance between the robot and the operator is measured by an optical motion capture camera, and the robot's movement speed and obstacle avoidance are determined based on the distance. Patent CN110561432A discloses a safety collaboration method and device based on human-machine integration. Based on the dynamic equivalent distance between humans and machines and the sub-operation space areas of different safety levels dynamically planned for the robot's operating space, the risk of human-machine collaboration collision is predicted, and corresponding control instructions are formulated to safely control the robot. Patents CN110978064B and CN114952854B calculate the distance between the robot end and the operator based on sensors such as depth cameras and monocular cameras, determine the current safety status of the human body through distance and running speed, make the next work plan according to different safety status, effectively avoid dangerous situations, and make human-machine collaboration safer and more efficient. The above invention patents are all based on the distance between the robot end and various parts of the human body detected by sensors to determine the safety status of the human body and formulate prevention and control plans, which to a certain extent ignores the risks of the robot body (connecting rods, joints) in the process of human-machine collaboration. In addition, a single safety prevention and control method will be affected by line of sight obstruction, signal transmission, etc., and there are risk factors. The lack of a single safety prevention and control plan will lead to major safety accidents.At the same time, external mobile devices and manufacturing objects also pose security risks, and safety prevention and control measures or methods are urgently needed to protect the safety of operators.
