Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0040] It should be noted that the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the embodiments of the present application and the accompanying drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0042] The embodiments of the present application disclose a welding current control system for a steel grating press welder, which realizes automatic adjustment of the welding current, ensures the stability of the welding current, and thus improves the welding quality of the steel grating. The following will be described in detail respectively.

[0043] Steel grating is a kind of metal sheet with excellent performance, which is widely used in fields such as building structures, industrial equipment, municipal engineering, and transportation. In the manufacturing process, the production technology and equipment of steel grating play a crucial role in its quality and cost. In the production process of steel grating, welding technology is used for consolidation, which is generally divided into cold drawing welding and electric welding. Cold drawing welding refers to the method of welding at room temperature, with a slower forming speed but excellent finished product quality. Electric welding refers to welding by heating with current at an appropriate temperature, with a faster forming speed, but precise control of the current is required to ensure product quality. With the continuous development of robot technology, the application of welding robots in the production of steel grating is becoming more and more popular. Compared with traditional manual welding, robot welding is more accurate and stable, and can also greatly shorten the production cycle. The use of automatic forming molds can improve production efficiency and consistency, ensure the accurate size and better surface quality of the steel grating. The innovation of the production technology and equipment of steel grating can effectively improve the quality and production efficiency of steel grating, and provide higher quality, efficient, and safe products for various industries.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic flow chart of the welding current control system for a steel grating press welder disclosed in the embodiments of the present application to realize automatic adjustment of the welding current. As Figure 1 shown, the steps for the welding current control system for a steel grating press welder to realize automatic adjustment of the welding current may include the following steps:

[0045] Step S101, provide a stable DC welding current.

[0046] In some embodiments, three-phase or single-phase industrial frequency alternating current is rectified, and after filtering, a relatively smooth direct current is obtained. An inverter circuit composed of IGBTs converts this direct current into an alternating current of dozens of kHz. After being stepped down by a transformer, it is rectified and filtered again to obtain a stable DC output welding current, which is used to provide a stable DC power supply for the entire STM32 system, ensuring the stable operation of the welding current control system of the steel grating press welder.

[0047] As an alternative implementation, due to the very high inverter operating frequency, the cross-sectional area of the transformer core and the number of turns of the coil are greatly reduced. Therefore, the inverter steel grating press welder can save a large amount of metal materials to a great extent, reduce the external dimensions and weight, and greatly reduce the power loss. More importantly, the inverter steel grating press welder can adjust the output current within microseconds, so it can achieve the ideal control process required by the welding process and obtain a satisfactory welding effect.

[0048] Step S102, obtain the position parameter information of the press welder, and generate a feedback signal according to the position parameter information.

[0049] In some embodiments, the step of obtaining the position parameter information of the press welder and generating a feedback signal according to the position parameter information further includes: collecting the position parameter information of the press welder through a position sensor; wherein, the position sensor is placed on the motor of the press welder; generating a feedback signal according to the position parameter information.

[0050] As an alternative implementation, in order to achieve closed-loop control, the STM32 system needs to obtain the accurate position parameter information of the steel grating press welder in real time, which is usually achieved through a position sensor. For example, the position sensor includes an encoder or a Hall sensor.

[0051] Step S103, read the feedback signal based on the STM32 platform, input the feedback signal into a closed-loop control algorithm and output a control signal.

[0052] In some embodiments, the step of reading the feedback signal based on the STM32 platform, inputting the feedback signal into a closed-loop control algorithm and outputting a control signal further includes: reading the feedback signal based on the STM32 platform and monitoring the feedback signal in real time; inputting the feedback signal into a closed-loop control algorithm; wherein, the closed-loop control algorithm includes a PID control algorithm and other advanced closed-loop control algorithms; adjusting in real time according to the feedback signal and the closed-loop control algorithm through mechanisms such as timers and interrupts, and outputting a control signal based on the STM32 platform.

[0053] As an alternative implementation, the PID controller calculates through the proportional, integral, and derivative links based on the error between the set value and the actual value, and outputs a control quantity to adjust the output control signal. Among them, the proportion responds to the error proportionally, the larger the error, the larger the control quantity; the integral is used to eliminate the steady-state error of the system and accumulate the error through integration; the derivative predicts the change trend of the error in advance according to the change rate of the error to improve the dynamic response of the system.

[0054] As an alternative implementation, the STM32 microcontroller serves as the core of the welding current control system for the steel grating press welder. The STM32 microcontroller is responsible for generating control signals, processing feedback signals, and implementing the closed-loop control algorithm. Its high performance, low power consumption, and rich peripheral interfaces make it very suitable for controlling the welding current of the steel grating press welder. The closed-loop control algorithm is the key to realizing the control of the welding current of the steel grating press welder. According to the requirements of the system, a PID control algorithm or other advanced closed-loop control algorithms can be adopted. These algorithms are implemented in the software of the STM32 and communicate with the stepping motor drive module in real time through mechanisms such as timers and interrupts. The STM32 can read the feedback signal of the position sensor and adjust the output pulse signal in real time according to the set target position and the control algorithm, thereby realizing the control of the welding current of the steel grating press welder.

[0055] Step S104: Convert the control signal into a current signal for driving the press welder to achieve automatic adjustment of the welding current.

[0056] In some embodiments, the control signal output by the STM32 is converted into a current signal suitable for driving the steel grating press welder. Generally, the motor drive module also has functions such as current control, protection, and subdivision to ensure the normal operation and working efficiency of the steel grating press welder, realize automatic adjustment of the welding current, ensure the stability of the welding current, and thus improve the quality of steel grating welding.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, a welding current control system for a steel grating press welder includes a welding power supply module, a position detection module, a microcomputer control module, and a motor drive module. Among them, the welding power supply module is used to provide a stable DC welding current; the position detection module is used to obtain the position parameter information of the press welder and generate a feedback signal according to the position parameter information; the microcomputer control module is used to read the feedback signal based on the STM32 platform, input the feedback signal into a closed-loop control algorithm and output a control signal; the motor drive module is used to convert the control signal into a current signal for driving the press welder to realize the automatic adjustment of the welding current. Implementing the embodiment of the present application, the welding power supply uses a three-phase AC power supply input, which is inverted into a single-phase AC power supply output by an inverter controller and provides a welding current after being stepped down by a transformer, solving the single-phase power supply problem of the AC press welder and avoiding the grid imbalance phenomenon. Since the main welding circuit adopts the inverter working mode, the power factor of the equipment is effectively improved. The welding process of the steel grating is closed-loop controlled by a microcomputer. In the case of unstable voltage or changing welding load, the welding current is automatically adjusted to ensure the stability of the welding current, thereby improving the welding quality of the steel grating.

[0058] The welding power supply is the core part of the steel grating press welder, and cooperates with the feeding mechanism, hydraulic mechanism, and discharging mechanism controlled by PLC to realize the automatic welding of the steel grating. The existing welding power supply of the steel grating press welder adjusts the welding current by changing the trigger phase of the thyristor, and the secondary uses diode rectification. It is difficult to improve the power factor, and it is necessary to increase a capacitor compensation cabinet to improve the power factor, thus increasing the cost. At the same time, the diode rectification wastes a large amount of energy, resulting in reduced efficiency.

[0059] Figure 2 It is a schematic structural diagram of the welding power supply module in an embodiment. As Figure 2 shown, the welding power supply module may include a rectification circuit sub-module, a filter capacitor sub-module, an inverter circuit sub-module, and a transformer sub-module. The rectification circuit sub-module is used to rectify the three-phase alternating current; the filter capacitor sub-module is used to filter the rectified three-phase alternating current to obtain a relatively smooth direct current; the inverter circuit sub-module is used to invert the direct current into a single-phase alternating current through an inverter circuit composed of IGBTs; the transformer sub-module is used to step down the single-phase alternating current and rectify and filter it again to output a stable DC welding current.

[0060] The rectifier circuit sub-module includes three thyristor units, and each thyristor unit includes two series-connected thyristors. Among them, the three common poles of the thyristors are the input terminals of the rectifier circuit sub-module; the three cathodes of the thyristors are connected in parallel and then connected to the positive pole of the filter capacitor sub-module; the three anodes of the thyristors are connected in parallel and then connected to the negative pole of the filter capacitor sub-module; the positive pole of the filter capacitor sub-module is also connected to the C pole of the upper-bridge-arm IGBT of the inverter circuit sub-module; the negative pole of the filter capacitor sub-module is also connected to the E pole of the lower-bridge-arm IGBT of the inverter circuit sub-module.

[0061] The welding power supply module may further include a pre-start circuit sub-module and a drive circuit sub-module. Among them, the pre-start circuit sub-module is used to output a first trigger pulse to trigger the thyristor and control the conduction of the thyristor; the drive circuit sub-module is used to output a second trigger pulse to trigger the IGBT. The drive circuit sub-module may include a first judgment unit and a second judgment unit. Among them, the first judgment unit is used to make the IGBT conduct when the second trigger pulse is at a positive level; the second judgment unit is used to turn off the IGBT when the second trigger pulse is at a negative level.

[0062] The inverter circuit sub-module may include 4 IGBTs. Among them, the 4 IGBTs are connected in parallel in pairs to form the upper bridge arm and the lower bridge arm of the inverter circuit sub-module respectively. The filter capacitor sub-module may include two series-connected capacitors, and each capacitor is connected in parallel with a voltage-sharing resistor. So that the series-connected capacitors share the same voltage and prevent the voltage charged on the capacitor from exceeding the withstand voltage of the capacitor. The IGBTs of the inverter circuit sub-module and the thyristor units of the rectifier circuit sub-module are installed on a radiator and cooled by a fan.

[0063] In some embodiments, IGBT is the abbreviation of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor, which is a three-terminal semiconductor switching device and can be used for efficient and fast switching in various electronic devices. In practical applications, the most popular and common electronic components are Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) and MOS transistor. IGBT can be regarded as a fusion of BJT and MOS transistor. IGBT has the input characteristics of MOS and the output characteristics of BJT. Compared with BJT or MOS transistor, the advantage of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) is that it provides a greater power gain than the standard bipolar transistor, as well as a higher operating voltage and lower MOS transistor input loss. The input side represents the MOS transistor with a gate terminal, and the output side represents the BJT with a collector and an emitter. The collector and the emitter are conducting terminals, and the gate is the control terminal for controlling the switching operation.

[0064] In some embodiments, when the steel grating press welder is working, the flat steel conveyed by the flat steel supporting roller table is fed into the pneumatic comb-shaped clamping device or the hydraulic comb-shaped clamping device on the lower layer platform of the main machine. At this time, the lifting flat steel end positioning and alignment device at the end of the platform rises to block, align and position the flat steel ends. Then the comb-shaped clamping device clamps the flat steel. At this time, the cross rib feeding ejector has smoothly fed the cross ribs into the main machine through the chute and placed them on the flat steel. The cross ribs are positioned on the flat steel through the cross rib positioning device. At this time, the hydraulic platform drives the upper electrode to press down. After the flat steel and the cross ribs are pressed tightly, power is supplied to press the two cross ribs into the flat steel to complete the first welding. The lifting flat steel end positioning and alignment device at the end of the platform descends, and the comb-shaped clamping and feeding device feeds the flat steel forward by one step distance for the second welding. In this way, the welding of the steel grating products is carried out in a cycle. The welding process is closed-loop controlled by a microcomputer. In the case of unstable voltage or changing welding load, the welding current can be automatically adjusted to ensure the stability of the welding current, thereby improving the welding quality.

[0065] In some embodiments, three-phase or single-phase industrial frequency alternating current is rectified, and after filtering, a relatively smooth direct current is obtained. The inverter circuit composed of IGBTs converts this direct current into alternating current of dozens of kHz. After being stepped down by a transformer, it is rectified and filtered again to obtain a stable DC output welding current, which is used to provide a stable DC power supply for the entire STM32 system, ensuring the stable operation of the welding current control system of the steel grating press welder. Since the inverter operating frequency is very high, the cross-sectional area of the transformer core and the number of turns of the coil are greatly reduced. Therefore, the inverter steel grating press welder can save a large amount of metal materials, reduce the external dimensions and weight to a great extent, and greatly reduce the power consumption. More importantly, the inverter steel grating press welder can adjust the output current within microseconds, so it can achieve the ideal control process required by the welding process and obtain satisfactory welding results. The welding power supply uses three-phase AC power input, is inverted by the inverter controller into single-phase AC power output, and provides welding current after being stepped down by a transformer, solving the problem of single-phase power supply of the AC press welder and avoiding the phenomenon of grid imbalance. Since the main welding circuit adopts the inverter working mode, the power factor of the equipment is effectively improved.
