Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of additive manufacturing technology, specifically to a safety control system and method for arc additive manufacturing of large ship structural components. Background Technology

[0002] Compared to traditional manufacturing methods, additive manufacturing significantly improves material utilization and shortens product development cycles. By stacking layers, it can achieve virtually any complex geometry, overcoming the limitations of traditional milling and casting processes and increasing design freedom in shipbuilding, aerospace, and aviation products. Simultaneously, mobile distributed manufacturing significantly improves the size, shape, and performance of manufactured structural components, greatly enhancing product performance. Typical ship structural components are characterized by large dimensions, complex topologies, and high mechanical performance requirements. Traditional manufacturing methods such as casting and forging are prone to internal defects, difficulty in tooling access, and low yield rates when manufacturing typical structural components. Therefore, gantry-type or mobile additive manufacturing systems are widely used in the manufacturing of complex, large-sized parts for shipbuilding, aerospace, and aviation. Unlike traditional industrial robot manufacturing cells, additive manufacturing systems require operators to collaborate within a work area, creating a flexible manufacturing cell where humans are in a loop. Unlike industrial robots that operate in a closed environment, additive manufacturing systems can collaborate with humans in a specific area, transforming the manufacturing model of discrete manufacturing industries. Therefore, the safety of operators and non-operators during operation is a key consideration in the design of additive manufacturing systems. Safety control systems are needed to ensure that the robot does not cause harm to personnel, equipment, or the environment during operation. Protective fences and anti-arc plates are essential protective devices for additive manufacturing systems. Regarding safety control during operator operation, patents CN111546331B and CN 118009874A disclose a human-robot collaborative robot safety protection system-level safety protection method and a human operator behavior safety detection system and method for industrial robots. These systems use optical motion capture cameras to measure the distance between the robot and the operator, and determine the robot's movement speed and obstacle avoidance based on this distance. Patent CN110561432A discloses a human-robot collaborative safety method and device. Based on the dynamic equivalent distance between the human and robot and different safety level sub-workspace areas dynamically planned for the robot's workspace, it predicts the risk of collisions during human-robot collaboration and formulates corresponding control commands to safely control the robot. Patents CN110978064B and CN114952854B calculate the distance between the robot's end effector and the operator based on sensors such as depth cameras and monocular cameras. By determining the distance and operating speed, they ascertain the current safety status of the operator and formulate the next work plan based on different safety statuses, effectively avoiding dangerous situations and making human-robot collaboration safer and more efficient. However, these patents all rely on sensors to detect the distance between the robot's end effector and various parts of the human body to determine the operator's safety status and formulate prevention and control plans. This approach, to some extent, ignores the risks posed by the robot's main body (links, joints) during human-robot collaboration. Furthermore, a single safety prevention and control method is susceptible to factors such as line-of-sight obstruction and signal transmission issues, posing inherent risks. The lack of a single safety prevention and control plan can lead to major safety accidents.At the same time, external mobile devices and manufacturing objects also pose safety hazards, and there is an urgent need for safety control measures or methods to protect the safety of operators. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a safety control system and method for electric arc additive manufacturing of large ship structural components, enabling operators to work safely during the additive manufacturing process of large-scale complex structural components.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] The virtual contact wall system consists of several distance sensors evenly distributed on the workpiece base platform. The distance sensors are connected to the workpiece base platform by screws and can measure the distance between the operator and the workpiece base platform.

[0007] The human dynamic distance sensing system consists of a depth camera and a mounting plate. The depth camera is fixed to the Z-axis arm of the gantry via the mounting plate. The human dynamic distance sensing system can obtain the operator's action information and calculate the distance between the operator and the welding robot.

[0017] Furthermore, when the virtual contact wall system monitors the location and The virtual protective space system does not start when the distance is greater than or equal to R+1m; the virtual contact wall system monitors the location... and The virtual protective space system initializes when the location is between R+1m and R; the virtual contact wall system monitors the location... and When R is less than or equal to R, the virtual protective space system starts working; where R represents the working radius of the welding robot.

[0018] Furthermore, the kinematic model of the welding robot in the virtual protective space system is represented as follows:

[0019]

[0020] Where n represents the degree of freedom of the welding robot; the boundary of the virtual protective space is the surface (301) formed by the farthest distance of the end point of the welding robot. When the operator enters the virtual protective space, the human dynamic distance perception system is activated.

[0021] Furthermore, the human dynamic distance sensing system establishes a motion model of the operator using a depth camera, obtaining the position of each part of the operator in the depth camera coordinate system O. Camera The calculation steps for the minimum distance between the operator and the welding robot, based on the position of _xyz, are as follows:

[0022] Step 1: The depth camera and welding robot complete hand-eye calibration, and the depth camera coordinate system O is calculated. Camera _xyz and welding robot coordinate system O Robot Homogeneous transformation relation of _xyz

[0025] Step 4: Calculate the distances between each part of the operator and each joint of the welding robot. The mathematical expression is as follows:

[0026]

[0027] Step 5: Calculate the minimum distance between the operator and the welding robot, expressed mathematically as follows:

[0028]

[0029] Where m represents the number of operator positions;

[0030] Furthermore, when the minimum distance monitored by the human dynamic distance perception system... When the distance is greater than or equal to 1m, the welding robot's operating speed is reduced to 1m / s; when the minimum distance monitored by the human dynamic distance sensing system is... When the distance is between 0.5m and 1m, the welding robot's operating speed is reduced to 0.5m / s; when the minimum distance monitored by the human dynamic distance sensing system... When the depth is less than or equal to 0.5m, the operating speed of the welding robot is reduced to 0.1m / s;

[0031] Furthermore, the terminal includes a memory, an input unit, a display unit, a processor, and an output unit; the memory stores computer programs; the input unit receives various instructions or parameters from the virtual contact wall system, the human dynamic distance sensing system, the virtual protective space system, and the work safety protection system; the display unit displays various output information of the terminal; the processor executes the computer program to enable the terminal to achieve safety control in the arc additive manufacturing of large ship structural components; and the output unit outputs various control commands to control the movement of the welding robot.

[0033] Working Mechanism 1: The work safety protection system can prevent non-operators from entering the work area and provide arc protection. When the additive manufacturing system is in operation, if non-operators enter the work area, the safety light curtain will trigger an alarm via the terminal.
