[0164] The processing is completed.

[0165] The present invention provides a laser multi-functional processing method, which has the following functions and effects in the cutting, trimming and cleaning of brittle materials:

[0166] (1) Laser precision cutting, laser trimming and high-efficiency laser cleaning of brittle materials; processing such as laser cutting, laser trimming and laser cleaning is a material processing method that uses the high energy density of ultrafast lasers to remove materials. Ultrafast laser processing uses the energy of light to reach a very high energy density at the focus after being focused by a lens to remove materials and change the surface properties of materials, and can process various special-shaped brittle materials and other materials. Use ultrafast laser beams to perform various processes on special-shaped and complex component materials, such as cutting, trimming and cleaning processes; control the cutting of various shapes through the coordination of laser and machinery, selectively remove burrs after cutting by optimizing the scanning path, and repair the burrs to achieve edge trimming; then remove surface impurities of the material through laser cleaning to improve the transparency and brightness of the gemstone, and can also remove traces and defects on the surface of complex components, adding new decorative effects to brittle materials such as jewelry.

[0167] (2) Five-axis opto-mechatronics collaborative control to achieve laser, mechanical and five-axis linkage control;

[0168] (3) Visual inspection for laser precision processing, and processing positioning and detection through a probe and a CCD;

[0169] (4) Real-time trajectory interpolation for laser precision cutting, positioning and control of laser trimming of the edge after cutting, and optimizing the laser cleaning scanning path during the laser cleaning process;

[0170] (5) Control during the high-efficiency laser cleaning process, real-time collection of microdust, and reduction of the pollution of the laser head by micro-particles.

[0171] The following is the specific implementation process:

[0172] (1) The process of laser precision cutting of special-shaped brittle materials;

[0173] Design preparation: First, use computer-aided design (CAD) software to create the design drawings of the jewelry. These design drawings contain the shape, size and other detailed information of the jewelry.

[0174] Material preparation: Select high-brittle materials suitable for ultrafast laser cutting. Ensure that the surface of the special-shaped brittle material is clean, free of grease and impurities.

[0175] Fixture fixing material, five-axis collaborative control, vision positioning: Fix the brittle material on the workbench of the five-axis precision laser multi-functional machine to ensure that the brittle material does not move during the precision cutting process.

[0176] Parameter setting: Set the parameters of ultrafast laser cutting according to the materials used and design requirements, including laser power, cutting speed, focus position, pulse frequency, etc.

[0177] Start cutting: Start the laser multi-functional processing equipment, and the laser beam dynamically focuses and cuts the material according to the path of the design drawing. Ultrafast laser cutting has a fast speed and high precision, and can achieve complex shapes and fine details.

[0178] Post-processing: After cutting, it may be necessary to further trim, clean or perform other surface treatments on the brittle material to meet the final appearance requirements.

[0179] Quality inspection: Check whether the processed anisotropic brittle materials meet the design requirements and quality standards. If there are unqualified products, rework or remanufacture is required.

[0180] (2) Multi-axis motion coordination and opto-mechatronics coordinated control;

[0181] Laser head and numerically controlled rotary tilt multi-axis motion coordination and opto-mechatronics coordinated control algorithm and system, establish a control model for laser control and multi-axis linkage of motor + laser head. Aiming at the characteristics of segmented machining of special-shaped curved surfaces, a linkage cutting control algorithm is proposed, and the "dynamic focusing technology of cutting head" and "dynamic programming of motor speed" are adopted to improve the cutting and motor collaborative working efficiency of special-shaped materials. During the motor movement, dynamically find the boundary line of the focal depth position, and immediately start high-speed cutting for interpolation scanning, and perform collaborative interpolation control on the cutting head and the motor to realize the "linkage" processing of the laser processing graphics. Fast interpolation of the processing head, dynamic focusing, and dynamic programming of motor movement. For high-efficiency collaborative high-precision composite processing of laser beams, it is necessary to use a high-precision three-dimensional cutting head to minimize the impact on the processing accuracy of the cutting head. Fix the laser head, and form a five-axis device through three galvanometer axes X, Y, Z and two rotation axes A, C. The two rotation axes A, C are fixed on the XY plane to form a double turntable five-axis. Thus, a five-axis linkage laser micro-processing platform is formed by combining the two rotation axes A, C and the galvanometer axes X, Y, Z. The AC axes are used for motion control, and the X, Y, Z axes of the galvanometer are used for laser scanning control. In addition, necessary devices such as CCD and displacement sensors need to be installed on the Z axis. It consists of an AC double turntable five-axis machine tool and an X, Y, Z three-dimensional scanning galvanometer. Among them, the AC double turntable five-axis machine tool is controlled by a PMAC motion control card, and the X, Y, Z axes of the scanning galvanometer are independently controlled by a SCANLAB galvanometer control card.

[0182] (3) Fast interpolation of the laser head, dynamic focusing, and dynamic programming of the motor movement;

[0183] Fast interpolation of the laser head for complex components such as special-shaped brittle materials is to quickly complete the cutting, trimming, and cleaning processing of primitives such as points and lines dynamically extracted within an extremely short time during the motor movement. The entire cutting process must be completed before the scanning point is out of focus. On the one hand, a high-speed scanning galvanometer needs to be used to increase the cutting movement speed of the galvanometer; on the other hand, the motor movement position should be monitored at all times through the CCD vision system, and the motor speed and position should be dynamically planned to achieve the coordinated movement of all parts of the system.

[0184] Dynamic focusing during the precision machining of complex components refers to continuously adjusting the "Z-axis" of the motor according to the "Z-axis" coordinate information of the points in the surface model information during the multi-functional machining process, so that the surface of the workpiece to be machined is always within the laser focal depth range. When machining the surface of the workpiece to be machined, the "Z-axis" coordinate information is retained when calculating the boundary and inserting the scanning line, and the theoretical coordinate of the "Z-axis" is calculated according to the "X-axis" and "Y-axis" coordinates of the system motor coordinate system, and then the focus position is controlled by controlling the dynamic interpolation of the "Z-axis" motor. The entire focusing process is carried out during the continuous movement of the motor.

[0185] During the collaborative machining process of the motor and the laser head, if the motor movement speed is too fast, it may cause incomplete graphic machining, and if the speed is too slow, it will reduce the overall machining efficiency of the system. In order to obtain higher machining efficiency and better machining effects, it is necessary to perform dynamic programming on the motor movement so that the motor movement matches the laser head movement.

[0186] The movement trajectory accuracy of the ultrafast laser beam is the key to ensuring the machining accuracy of the ultrafast laser. This device can be equipped with a real-time trajectory interpolation function. To achieve high-speed and high-precision trajectory control, a real-time trajectory interpolation algorithm must be constructed. In the numerical control system of the five-axis linkage ultrafast laser processing machine built with an "industrial PC + open multi-axis motion controller" as the core, PMAC (programmable multi-axis motion controller) provides four interpolation methods, namely linear interpolation, circular interpolation, SPLINE interpolation, and PVT mode interpolation, for users to use.

[0187] (4) Five-axis precision machine vision positioning and status monitoring based on a probe + vision CCD

[0188] The intelligent equipment for efficient collaborative processing of multiple laser beams in the field of brittle materials has machine vision positioning, status detection, and fault diagnosis and identification. Based on a probe and a visual CCD vision system, it is used to detect the laser processing motion image, extract information such as the structure and attributes of the workpiece to be measured from the three-dimensional image, obtain various describable parameters of the workpiece to be measured through image processing, and understand and judge the parameters. Usually, laser vision detection detects the image according to parameters such as the geometric dimensions, shape, and surface attributes of the jewelry object, and controls the actuator to generate corresponding actions according to the detection results. Image preprocessing technology mainly enhances, improves, or modifies the image to prepare for image analysis. For the original CCD image obtained by the system, due to reasons such as noise and illumination, the quality of the detected image is not high, so the work to be done is to perform relevant preprocessing on the image. The preprocessing of the image can not only effectively eliminate noise but also improve the image quality, using algorithms related to computer vision and machine learning.

[0189] The control of this device adopts the upper computer and lower computer mode. The upper computer completes the laser processing data processing, sends the laser processing data and instructions to the lower computer for execution, processes and displays. In the laser multi-functional processing system, the upper computer is an industrial computer, which is used for human-machine interface processing, graphic motion control card and control. Non-real-time tasks such as laser processing data processing and sending instructions; the lower computer consists of a TURBO PMAC2 SCANLAB RTCS galvanometer control card and is used for the five-axis laser composite equipment.

[0190] Furthermore, the software structure of the linkage laser multi-functional processing control system of this device is mainly divided into an interface layer, a logic control layer, a hardware abstraction layer, a hardware interface layer, and a hardware layer. The logic control layer and the interface layer are modularized, mainly divided into five major modules: a graphic module, a processing function module, a motion control module, a laser galvanometer module, and a status display module. In the interface layer, the modules do not call each other. The interface layer calls the corresponding modules in the logic control layer respectively during each event processing process by responding to human-machine interaction events, thereby reducing the coupling degree between the interface layer modules. The system is based on machine vision technology with laser processing image processing technology, extracts information from the processing image, processes it for positioning and on-line monitoring, and finally uses it for actual detection, measurement, and control during the laser processing of hard brittle materials. The system based on the intelligent integration system of machine vision positioning, status monitoring, and fault diagnosis has non-contact detection and measurement, with high accuracy and a wide spectral response range. The workpiece is sent into the field of view of the CCD camera; then the imaging system and the image acquisition card collect the image into the computer; the laser processing image processing technology is used to preprocess the collected original image to improve the image quality and extract the characteristic quantities of interest; finally, the pattern recognition technology is used to classify and sort the obtained characteristic quantities to complete the work. It is stable and greatly improves the work efficiency.

[0191] Laser multi-functional processing image processing technology, including image preprocessing technology, mainly enhances, improves or modifies the images collected during laser processing to prepare for image analysis. For the original CCD images obtained by the system, due to reasons such as noise and illumination, the quality of the detected images is not high. By performing relevant preprocessing on the images, not only can the noise be effectively eliminated, but also the image quality can be improved. The core modules of laser processing image processing include image transformation (such as Fourier transform), coding compression (reducing the amount of data), enhancement and restoration (denoising, improving sharpness), segmentation and feature extraction (edge detection, region division). The original image is transformed into an analyzable or optimizable form through mathematical algorithms. For example, the discrete cosine transform is commonly used in the image compression standard JPEG.

[0192] With the continuous improvement of the laser processing speed and the continuous improvement of functions, the requirements for the motion control of the feed axis are becoming increasingly strict. The role of the feed axis motion control is to ensure that the actual displacement of the feed coordinate axis is consistent with the commanded displacement to the greatest extent.

[0193] In the CNC system of the five-axis linkage laser processing machine developed in this invention research, the core controller PMAC provides a control loop algorithm of "PID speed / acceleration feedforward + NOTCH filter". By introducing feedforward control, a system structure with a composite control of "feedback + feedforward" is actually formed.

[0194] To achieve the laser multi-functional processing of complex components, five-axis linkage laser collaborative control processing must be adopted. During the collaborative processing, the CNC system controls the relative position between the laser beam and the workpiece to form a laser processing trajectory. The laser multi-functional processing system has special functions in addition to the general functions of a general CNC system. When using the five-axis laser processing machine developed in this invention research to perform laser processing on curved surface parts, not only is it necessary to perform linkage control on the X, Y, and Z axes (X-axis scanning, Y-axis scanning, up and down movement in the Z-axis direction) to adjust the spatial position of the laser focus in real time, but also it is necessary to dynamically control the direction of the laser head axis relative to the workpiece surface to ensure that the direction of the laser beam axis is consistent with the normal direction of the curved surface at the current processing point, so as to achieve the best processing effect. In addition, the CNC system must also timely control the relevant digital signals in the laser processing machine, such as the opening and closing of the shutter and auxiliary gas, etc., to cooperate with the feed movement to complete the control task of the entire laser processing equipment.

[0195] To complete the special functions of the above laser multi-functional processing, a five-axis linkage system with excellent performance must be equipped, but currently, there is a lack of CNC systems for laser processing with high cost performance on the market. In view of this actual situation, this invention adopts an independently developed five-axis linkage open laser control system based on an "industrial PC + PMAC motion controller".

[0196] After the beam from the laser enters the light guiding system, the direction of the laser beam is changed to the Z-axis direction through a reflecting mirror. For laser processing, due to the relatively high processing power, the focusing system of the light guiding device uses a parabolic focusing mirror. The laser beam reaching the Z-axis direction reaches the workpiece processing surface through the parabolic mirror focusing system composed of a "reflecting mirror - focusing mirror". For laser texturing, since the processing power is relatively low, the focusing system of the light guiding device uses a focusing system composed of a "plane mirror - lens". The laser is refracted by the plane mirror and then focused by the lens to reach the workpiece processing surface.

[0197] The hardware part of the laser multi-functional processing system developed by the present invention uses IPC as the control center, and inserts a motion controller into the IPC to form an open structure. The PMAC motion controller is directly inserted into the PCI bus slot of the IPC. There are two communication methods between the PMAC motion controller and the IPC. One is the bus communication method, and the other is to use dual-port RAM (DPRAM) for data communication. The host and the PMAC motion controller mainly communicate through the PCI bus. The status of the communication controller and the motor, and data such as the position, speed of the motor, and the feed rate of the machine tool are exchanged through the DPRAM.

[0198] DPRAM is mainly used for fast data communication and command communication with PMAC. On the one hand, when DPRAM writes data to PMAC, it can quickly repeat the download of position data information or program information in real-time. On the other hand, when DPRAM reads data from PMAC, it can quickly repeat the acquisition of system status information. For example, data such as the status, position, speed, and following error of the AC servo motor can be continuously updated and automatically written into DPRAM by the PLC or PMAC. Since data access does not require sending commands through the communication port and waiting for a response, the response speed and processing accuracy of the system are improved. At the same time, it also facilitates the fast communication between modules in the control system and the setting of the address table, reducing the programming difficulty.

[0199] In addition, in order to implement the functions of PMAC, corresponding I / O boards, servo drive units, servo motors, amplifiers, encoders, etc. also need to be expanded on the PMAC controller, and finally a complete laser multi-functional processing control system is formed.

[0200] The multi-axis motion controller is the core of motion control. It receives motion control instructions from the host computer and controls the synchronous movement of five servo motors. The control system uses an open PMAC programmable multi-axis controller (Programmable Multi-Axis Controller) developed by Delta Tau Company in the United States following the open system architecture standard and based on the PC platform. This motion controller is one of the most powerful motion controllers in the world, with powerful control functions including interpolation during laser processing, laser position control, and PLC functions.

[0201] The PMAC PCI motion controller uses Motorola DSP56001 / 56000 digital signal processors as the CPU and can control 1 - 8 axes simultaneously. PMAC is first of all a computer with independent memory and independent computing ability. It can operate on the programs stored in it, execute driver programs and PLC programs, update the servo loop, and communicate with the host computer in two ways: serial port and bus. Moreover, it can automatically distinguish the priority levels of tasks and thus perform real-time multitasking, which greatly reduces the burden on the host computer and the programmer in terms of processing time and task switching, and improves the operating speed and control accuracy of the entire control system.

[0202] In the laser multi-functional processing device and system developed in the invention research, the system utilizes the motion control function of PMAC. Through two self-developed interface boards, the AC servo system, the laser processing travel limit switch signals detected by sensors, and the workbench zero position signals are connected to the corresponding channels of PMAC to achieve the output of motor speed signals and the acquisition of encoder feedback signals for controlling the movement of each axis of laser processing. The PLC function is realized by using the internal I / O interface J5 and the external I / O interface board provided by PAMC, including the opening and closing of auxiliary equipment such as the laser optical path shutter and the laser processing air valve, and the operation of the control panel and the handwheel for controlling program operation and manual adjustment of work, etc. By using the PID and position servo loop filters provided by PMAC, as well as speed and acceleration feedforward control, through the optimization of corresponding laser parameters, the following error of the system can be reduced and the laser processing accuracy of the workpiece can be improved.

[0203] The laser multi-functional processing system consists of software and hardware, and the hardware provides a support environment for the operation of the software. The CNC software is a dedicated software developed to implement the various functions of the CNC system, also known as the system software. It is divided into two major parts: management software and control software. Under the control of the system software, the CNC device automatically processes the input machining program and issues corresponding control instructions to make the machine tool process the workpiece. The CNC system software of the laser processing machine developed in this invention is a dedicated software integrating functions such as motion control, file management, fault diagnosis, status display, and teaching processing, and is applicable to various laser processing. This software has the characteristics of wide application range, flexible control, simple operation, and friendly interface. The system control software cooperates with the corresponding machine tool hardware to reasonably organize and manage the input, data processing, interpolation, and output information of the CNC system, and controls the execution mechanism to make the CNC laser processing machine automatically process according to the requirements of the user.

[0204] The CNC system of the laser processing machine adopts a dual-CPU parallel structure in terms of hardware. PMAC itself is a computer, which is responsible for the execution of all real-time tasks during processing; while the industrial PC is responsible for completing other non-real-time tasks. Therefore, the entire software can be divided into two major parts: "front-end control program" and "background scheduling program". These two major parts are connected and communicated through a communication driver library.

[0205] The front-end control program is the PMAC real-time control software, mainly including interpolation (refers to fine interpolation) module, servo drive module, PLC monitoring module, machining program interpretation module, data acquisition module, etc. The specific execution processes of these modules have been developed by Delta Tau Company and provided to users in the form of interface functions and commands. Users only need to call the corresponding functions and commands to design and develop their own front-end control programs, and can also add new function modules according to specific requirements.

[0206] The main function of the background scheduling program is to perform system scheduling and provide a man-machine interface, which is an important part and task in the entire software development process. This software is developed under the Windows system environment using VisualC++6.0 as the development tool. The large number of rich controls and the "what you see is what you get" feature of VC++ provide convenience for developing a friendly man-machine interface. During the development process of the entire CNC system software, considering the future maintainability, reconfigurability, and expandability of the software, a modular method is adopted for design.

[0207] The laser processing image processing in the present invention adopts Python image processing. Python image processing refers to the technology of analyzing, operating and processing images using the Python programming language and related libraries. It covers multiple aspects such as storage, representation, information extraction, operation, enhancement, restoration and interpretation of laser processing images. Python also provides rich image processing libraries, such as PIL / Pillow, OpenCV, Mahotas, Scikit-Image, TensorFlow Image, PyTorchVision, etc. These libraries contain various image processing functions and can meet the requirements of different scenarios. It is compatible with the OpenCV image processing library, supports many algorithms related to computer vision and machine learning, and is based on the Scikit-Learn machine learning library, providing more advanced image processing capabilities.

[0209] The embodiments described above are only descriptions of the preferred modes of the present invention, and do not limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various deformations and improvements made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
