Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of laser welding, and in particular to a drum spiral laser welding device with a weld tracking and adjustment mechanism. Background Art
[0002] In industrial manufacturing, laser welding of spiral seams on roll-type workpieces is widely used due to its high precision and high efficiency. The quality of the weld directly impacts key equipment performance, such as sealing and strength. While existing roll-type spiral laser welding technology can perform basic welding operations, it suffers from significant deficiencies in automation, seam tracking accuracy, and workpiece pretreatment procedures.
[0003] In current technology, some devices lack an efficient dynamic tracking mechanism for welds, making it difficult to adapt to the complex trajectory of the spiral curved surface of the drum, resulting in large welding deviations. In particular, when the workpiece material changes or there are impurities such as oil and rust on the surface, the laser beam cannot accurately locate the weld, seriously affecting the welding quality. At the same time, traditional welding devices mostly adopt a single-process step-by-step processing mode. The processes of surface cleaning, welding, and slag removal of the workpiece are independent of each other, which not only leads to low processing efficiency, but also easily causes quality fluctuations due to process connection errors. In addition, the existing equipment has a simple design of the clamping and positioning structure for the workpiece, which cannot maintain stability during the curved surface welding process, further exacerbating the decline in welding accuracy.

[0031] The processing flow of the multi-parameter dynamic collaborative model predictive control system for spiral laser welding is as follows: Step 1. Establish a system model: For roll spiral welding, construct a kinematic model and a focusing model; the kinematic model is used to describe the relationship between the laser beam position / angle and the actuator, and the focusing model is used to describe the relationship between the focal length and the weld distance.
[0032] Specifically, the kinematic model is as follows: Roller spiral trajectory parameters: spiral angle , pitch , Roll radius , welding speed , then the parametric equation of the helix is: , the actual position of the laser beam Controlled by the actuator Determine, where xyz represents the coordinate points of the three-dimensional space, and the relationship is established through the inverse kinematic solution of the actuator: It should be noted that the actuator is composed of an adjusting servo cylinder 28 and a two-dimensional turntable 27. is the inverse kinematics function, which can be obtained by Derivation of the matrix and two-dimensional turntable 27 rotation formula.
[0033] The focusing model is as follows: Laser beam focal length Distance from welding head to weld Satisfies the geometrical optics relationship: ,in is the distance from the light spot to the lens, which can be fixed by calibration; Measured in real time by the displacement sensor; focal length control amount and Relationship: , is the focal length adjustment function, which is determined by the lens displacement-focal length calibration curve.

[0038] Step 5: Real-time feedback correction: The sensor collects the new status in real time , compared with the predicted state, calculate the prediction error: ,Through feedback correction, the subsequent prediction model is modified to ensure control accuracy.
[0039] It should be noted that, according to the above scheme, based on the multi-parameter dynamic collaborative model predictive control system of the drum spiral laser welding, when the laser welder 29 processing angle is dynamically tracked and adjusted, the spiral trajectory parameters (spiral angle , pitch , Roll radius , welding speed ) Construct a kinematic model to clarify the theoretical position of the laser beam; the two-dimensional turntable 27 and the adjustment servo electric cylinder 28 form an actuator, and the processing angle requirement of the laser welder is converted into a control quantity through the inverse kinematic solution with the help of the DH matrix and the two-dimensional turntable rotation formula. The two-dimensional turntable 27 can change the macro angles such as the pitch and yaw of the laser welder, and adjust the servo electric cylinder 28 to achieve fine angle compensation; the system uses the established model to combine the current state and the historical control quantity to predict the future angle deviation, and defines the objective function including the angle deviation weight and the control quantity penalty coefficient through rolling optimization to solve the optimal control sequence, and output the first step control quantity to drive the two-dimensional turntable 27 and the adjustment servo electric cylinder 28; at the same time, the sensor collects the new state in real time, compares the predicted state to calculate the error and feedback correction, and continuously adjusts, thereby realizing dynamic tracking and adjustment of the laser welder processing angle, ensuring that it fits the angle change of the roll weld seam, and completing real-time tracking processing.
