[0049] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0050] Example 1
[0051] See also Figure 1As shown, the present invention discloses a method for adaptively planning a welding path for a bridge anti-collision guardrail, comprising the steps of:
[0052] Step S1: Using a variety of pre-set sensors, the temperature, humidity, surface condition of the welding material, and operating parameters of the welding equipment at the welding site are collected in real time. An improved Gaussian process regression algorithm is used to evaluate the weld quality and output the evaluation results of weld strength, weld uniformity, and weld defect rate.
[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, step S2 is used to monitor the behavior pattern of the welding operator, including welding speed, welding angle and welding gun trajectory, and predict the optimal adjustment direction of the future welding path to obtain welding behavior prediction, and generate a specific welding path optimization strategy based on the weld quality evaluation result and the welding behavior prediction;
[0054] Step S3: Combined with the welding path optimization strategy, the motion parameters of the welding equipment are automatically adjusted to perform specific adjustment operations, including welding gun angle correction, welding speed adjustment, and weld tracking compensation;
[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, step S4: obtain the adjusted welding parameters and weld quality feedback from the path automatic adjustment module, use deep reinforcement learning technology to optimize the weld quality assessment module and optimization decision engine, and continuously improve the welding path planning and optimization strategy.
[0056] In step S1, the temperature, humidity, surface condition of the welding material, and operating parameters of the welding equipment at the welding site are collected in real time through a variety of preset sensors. The weld quality is evaluated using an improved Gaussian process regression algorithm, and the evaluation results of weld strength, weld uniformity, and weld defect rate are output. The specific contents include:
[0057] Step A1: Real-time acquisition of temperature and humidity data at the welding site using thermocouple sensors and humidity sensors. The thermocouple sensor outputs temperature values by measuring the thermoelectric potential of the welding area, and the humidity sensor outputs humidity values using the capacitive sensing principle.
[0058] Step A2: Real-time detection of the surface condition of the welding material, including scanning the roughness and geometric features of the welding material surface and detecting whether there are cracks or pores inside the material;
[0059] Step A3: Monitor the operating status of the welding equipment using a current sensor and a vibration sensor. The changes in welding current are measured to determine the equipment load. The vibration sensor measures the vibration frequency of the equipment to assess the equipment stability.
[0060] Step A4: Preprocess the temperature, humidity, welding material surface condition and equipment operating parameters at the welding site, including denoising, normalization and feature extraction, to generate a feature vector V for evaluation, expressed as ; where n is the feature dimension, is the i-th eigenvalue, and the improved Gaussian process regression algorithm is used to evaluate the weld quality of the preprocessed eigenvector V. The weld quality evaluation result is calculated by the following formula: ; Where Q represents the weld quality assessment result, represents the weight, Represents the kernel function mapping of the feature vector, b represents the bias, and m represents the dimension of the feature vector;
[0061] Step A5: Split the weld quality assessment results into three parts: weld strength S, weld uniformity U, and weld defect rate D. Use a machine learning model for quantitative analysis:
[0062] Evaluation dimension splitting principle: Welding strength S represents the strength and stability of the weld, affecting the load-bearing capacity of the welded structure. Welding uniformity U reflects the uniformity of the weld. Poor weld uniformity may cause local stress concentration and affect the durability of the structure. Welding defect rate D reflects the defect rate in the weld, such as pores and cracks, which directly affects the quality and safety of welding.
[0063] Through neural networks, independent networks are used to model each indicator separately, retaining the specificity of each indicator. The weld quality assessment results are divided into three parts: welding strength S, weld uniformity U, and welding defect rate D. The mathematical model is constructed as follows: ;in, 、 、 They are respectively neural network models based on multi-layer perceptron.
[0064] In step S2, the welding operator's behavior pattern is monitored, including welding speed, welding angle, and welding gun trajectory, and the optimal adjustment direction of the future welding path is predicted to obtain welding behavior prediction. Based on the weld quality assessment results and welding behavior prediction, a specific welding path optimization strategy is generated, including:
[0065] Monitor the welding operator's welding gun angle changes, generate welding angle data by recording the angle deviation of each welding, monitor the welding operator's welding gun trajectory, generate welding gun trajectory data by recording the trajectory changes of each welding, and establish a database to store welding behavior data;
[0066] Processing the stored welding behavior data, including data cleaning, normalization, and feature extraction, generates feature vectors for path prediction, uses historical behavior data and machine learning algorithms to predict the optimal adjustment direction of the future welding path, and transmits the prediction results to the optimization decision engine;
[0067] Normalizing the preprocessed feature vectors, collecting and storing historical welding behavior data of welding operators to form a historical behavior database, wherein the historical welding behavior data includes past welding speeds, welding angles, and welding gun trajectories;
[0068] Match the current feature vector with the feature vector in the historical behavior database. Specifically, use the cosine similarity algorithm to calculate the similarity between the current feature vector and the historical feature vector. The formula is: ;in, Represents the eigenvector V and the historical eigenvector The similarity between and Denote the eigenvectors V and The i-th eigenvalue of , n represents the dimension of the eigenvector;
[0069] Use the support vector machine algorithm to train historical behavior data and build a prediction model. By maximizing the classification interval, a decision rule for predicting the welding path adjustment direction is established to predict the welding path adjustment direction: the current feature vector is input into the trained support vector machine model to predict the optimal adjustment direction of the future welding path;
[0070] Establish an optimization decision engine: Generate specific welding path optimization strategies based on weld quality assessment results and welding behavior predictions;
[0071] Analyze the welding behavior prediction results to determine the potential deviation trend and adjustment needs of the welding operator's future welding path. Based on the outputs of the evaluation analysis subunit and the behavior analysis subunit, customize the optimization strategy that adapts to the current welding status and predicted welding needs.
[0072] Based on the weld quality assessment results and welding behavior prediction results, a path adjustment plan is formulated, giving priority to path optimization in high-risk areas and complex welding sections. The formula is expressed as: ;in, represents the path adjustment resources allocated to the predetermined time period t, Indicates the risk assessment value for this time period, represents the welding demand forecast value for the time period, and T represents the total time period;
[0073] Based on the identified welding performance bottlenecks, a specific parameter optimization plan is formulated, including welding speed adjustment, welding gun angle correction and weld tracking compensation operations. The specific adjustment formula is: ,in, Indicates the adjusted welding parameters, Indicates the current welding parameters, Indicates the adjustment range;
[0074] Integrate the path adjustment strategy and parameter optimization strategy to generate a comprehensive optimization strategy.
[0075] In step S3, the motion parameters of the welding equipment are automatically adjusted in combination with the welding path optimization strategy, and specific adjustment operations are performed, including welding gun angle correction, welding speed adjustment, and weld tracking compensation. The specific contents include:
[0076] Automatically adjust the welding gun angle according to the angle correction instruction in the welding path optimization strategy: detect the current angle of the welding gun in real time, evaluate the angle deviation, perform angle correction operations, and adjust to the angle recommended by the welding path optimization strategy. The formula is expressed as: ; where α is the correction coefficient, is the current angle, is the angle compensation;
[0077] According to the speed adjustment instruction in the welding path optimization strategy, the moving speed of the welding equipment is adjusted: the current speed of the welding equipment is detected in real time, and the speed adjustment operation is performed according to the result of the speed detection subunit, and adjusted to the speed recommended by the optimization strategy. The formula is expressed as: ;in, Indicates the new position after adjustment. Indicates the current location, Indicates the position compensation amount;
[0078] According to the weld tracking instructions in the welding path optimization strategy, the weld position deviation is dynamically compensated: the weld position deviation is detected in real time, and the motion trajectory of the welding equipment is dynamically adjusted to ensure that the equipment always moves along the predetermined welding path. The formula is expressed as: ;in, Indicates the new position after adjustment. Indicates the current location, Indicates the position compensation amount.
[0079] In step S4, the adjusted welding parameters and weld quality feedback are obtained from the automatic path adjustment module. The weld quality assessment module and the optimization decision engine are optimized using deep reinforcement learning technology to continuously improve the welding path planning and optimization strategy. The specific contents include:
[0080] Obtain adjusted welding parameters and weld quality feedback, including adjusted welding gun angle, welding speed, weld position and their corresponding weld quality feedback;
[0081] The model is trained using deep reinforcement learning technology on the processed data. The input parameters of the model include the adjusted welding gun angle, welding speed, weld position and the corresponding weld quality feedback. The output is the continuously improved welding parameters or actions, and the impact of welding parameter adjustments on weld quality is learned.
[0082] Reward function design: Design a reward function to reflect the quality of welding. If the welding quality improves, the reward increases; if the quality decreases, the penalty increases. The reward function is defined based on the actual weld quality feedback. It includes: the reduction of cracks and pores on the weld surface, the uniformity of the weld appearance, and the time efficiency of the welding speed.
[0083] Model training: Using the collected data set for training, the model continuously adjusts its parameters to maximize the reward. In each training session, the model selects an action based on the current welding parameter state, that is, adjusting the welding parameters and observing the reward feedback. Through multiple iterations, the model continuously optimizes its strategy.
[0084] Through the trained model, the impact of different welding parameters on weld quality is predicted, the welding quality is evaluated, and an improved welding parameter adjustment strategy is generated. Based on the actual feedback during the welding process, the model parameters are adjusted to further improve the welding quality. Based on the feedback mechanism of the deep reinforcement learning model, the welding process is optimized in real time to ensure that each welding task can achieve the optimal quality standards.
