DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and are intended to provide further explanation of the present application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs.

[0021] Example 1: In order to solve the problem of detection and closed-loop prevention of tungsten electrode welding adhesion, such as Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a tungsten electrode anti-adhesion welding control method. First, the arc voltage data during the welding process is obtained; the voltage data is subjected to wavelet transform to obtain the voltage sampling value after the wavelet transform; and based on the voltage sampling value, the relative deviation rate of the voltage, the voltage fluctuation ratio and the voltage mutation frequency are determined; then, based on the relative deviation rate of the voltage, the voltage fluctuation ratio and the voltage mutation frequency, the adhesion risk value is obtained by weighted summation; finally, based on the adhesion risk value and the relative deviation rate of the voltage, and the comparison with the corresponding preset value, the alarm level is determined, and it is determined whether the welding gun is lifted or shut down. Comprehensive monitoring of adhesion during welding is achieved, and the occurrence of tungsten electrode adhesion is prevented. The welding conditions are adjusted in real time through the alarm mechanism and the closed-loop control mechanism, solving the problem of adhesion affecting welding quality. The specific contents of the method of this embodiment are as follows: S1. Data collection: Real-time acquisition of arc voltage data during welding. Optionally, a high-frequency sampling circuit (linearity 0.1%, response time 40us, frequency range 0-20kHz) is used to obtain arc voltage data.

[0022] S2. Data processing: By performing wavelet transform on the voltage, the influence of noise generated during data acquisition on the acquisition results can be reduced. The wavelet transform formula of the voltage signal can be expressed as: ; in, It is a voltage signal, which represents the change of arc voltage over time during the welding process. It is a non-stationary signal containing noise. As the wavelet basis function, Daubechies wavelet is selected (which has compact support and orthogonality and is suitable for removing noise). and location Wavelet basis functions can match different frequency and time characteristics of voltage signals; is the scale parameter, which controls the expansion and contraction of the wavelet basis function; when When it is larger, the wavelet basis function is stretched and used to analyze low-frequency features; when When it is small, the wavelet basis function is compressed and used to analyze high-frequency features; is the position parameter, which controls the translation of the wavelet basis function and is used to analyze the characteristics of the voltage signal at different time positions; is the wavelet transform result, which indicates that the voltage signal is in scale and location By analyzing the local characteristics of , the key information of the voltage signal can be extracted, such as the mutation point, fluctuation amplitude, etc.

[0023] in, In order to remove the noise from the arc voltage, a threshold can be set based on the maximum and minimum voltage values ​​measured after the subsequent startup. When the voltage is not within this threshold (18-20V), it will be discarded.

[0024] S3. Control process: S3.1. Initialization before arc starting: The initial distance between the tungsten electrode tip and the workpiece surface is determined by a contact sensor (the welding gun automatically descends after pressing the start button and automatically rises the required distance after the tungsten electrode touches the workpiece) H 1 (recommended range 3-5mm).

[0025] Setting the arc voltage reference value U 1: After the arc is stabilized within the preset time (≥1s), the maximum arc voltage is collected as the initial reference.

[0026] S3.3 Real-time monitoring and adhesion determination: Dynamic voltage deviation calculation: ; in, is the voltage sampling value obtained after wavelet transform; is the preset reference voltage value, is the relative deviation rate.

[0027] S3.4. Calculate the voltage fluctuation amplitude and fluctuation ratio: The voltage fluctuation amplitude is the difference between the peak value and the valley value of the voltage signal; the fluctuation ratio is equal to the ratio of the voltage fluctuation amplitude to the peak value of the voltage signal.

[0028] S3.4. Calculate the voltage mutation frequency: The voltage mutation frequency is the number of voltage mutations per unit time. The basis for judging the mutation is that the voltage change exceeds a certain threshold.

[0029] S3.5. Establish a comprehensive judgment model: Multiple voltage features are integrated into adhesion judgment to build a weighted comprehensive judgment model: ; in, 、 and is the weight coefficient, and its accurate value can be determined through multiple tests after power-on; the voltage mutation frequency is the number of voltage mutations per unit time, and is a dimensionless value.

[0030] S3.6, Alarm level classification: When the adhesion risk of the comprehensive judgment model is greater than the preset value, and the relative deviation rate is greater than the first preset percentage ( ≥50%), it indicates that there is a slight risk of adhesion. At this time, a level 1 alarm is issued and the welding gun lifting control is started.

[0031] When the adhesion risk of the comprehensive judgment model is greater than the preset value, and the relative deviation rate is greater than the second preset percentage ( ≥75%), it indicates that there is a serious risk of adhesion. At this time, a secondary alarm is issued, triggering a shutdown and recording fault data.

[0032] Alternatively, when the adhesion risk of the comprehensive judgment model is greater than the preset value and the relative deviation rate ΔU exceeds 50% for five consecutive sampling cycles, the machine is shut down for inspection.

[0033] The first preset percentage is smaller than the second preset percentage.

[0034] S3.7, Closed-loop control strategy: When controlling the welding gun lifting, according to the relative deviation rate Dynamic adjustment of welding gun height , for voltage deviation rate Integrate to eliminate steady-state error, and calculate the voltage deviation rate (i.e. derivatives of ), predict the future behavior of the system and adjust it in advance.

[0035] ; in, is the current height of the welding gun; is the base height of the welding gun; is the arc voltage deviation rate; is the proportionality coefficient (empirical value 0.05-0.2%); is the integral control coefficient (the empirical value is 0.05-0.1%); is the differential control coefficient (the empirical value is 0.05-0.2%), and the response speed is optimized through the PID algorithm.

[0036] S3.8, Self-protection mechanism: When the relative deviation rate is greater than the third preset percentage (ΔU ≥ 80%), or the current height of the welding gun after adjustment Exceeding the safety threshold ( H 1±3mm), forced shutdown.

[0037] The optional tungsten electrode distance adjustment mechanism includes a servo motor-driven Z-axis lift with an adjustment accuracy of ±0.2mm and a response time of ≤60ms. The control unit is a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), which includes an arc voltage data signal receiver, an anti-tungsten electrode sticking control algorithm, and an actuator closed-loop control program. The PLC can be used to output alarms and control the actuator to adjust the welding torch or perform an emergency shutdown.

[0038] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment reduces molten pool disturbance by dynamically adjusting the tungsten electrode distance, resulting in improved weld consistency and a lower incidence of sticking accidents. Furthermore, this embodiment supports integration with robotic welding systems and is compatible with all tungsten inert gas arc welding machine models.

The control module is configured to determine the alarm level and whether to control the welding gun to lift or shut down based on the comparison between the adhesion risk value and the relative deviation rate of the voltage and the corresponding preset value.

[0040] The working method of the system is the same as the tungsten electrode anti-sticking welding control method in Example 1, and will not be repeated here.
