Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to a composite material welding parameter regulation method and device, and belongs to the technical field of intelligent welding. BACKGROUND
[0002] Ultrasonic welding realizes molecular layer bonding by high-frequency mechanical vibration to generate friction heat on the material contact surface, and the welding quality is closely related to welding parameters.
[0003] However, the prior art does not consider the critical point drift problem of the nonlinear process, especially the welding quality risk caused by the chaos effect when the welding parameters approach the critical value of the nonlinear dynamics; specifically, in the ultrasonic welding process implemented by a mechanical arm, the movement control of the mechanical arm and the pressure, ultrasonic frequency, welding depth and ultrasonic amplitude adjustment constitute a nonlinear welding process mode, when the related parameters approach the critical threshold, the chaos state is easily triggered, for example, when the ultrasonic frequency approaches the resonance critical point of the combination of the transducer, the amplitude rod and the welding head, heat energy is generated in the actual working process, which reduces the amplitude and affects the welding strength, and the mechanical properties of the product are reduced. In addition, the slight change in the stiffness of the welding head caused by the change in the load of the mechanical arm will be amplified through nonlinear acoustic coupling, which will cause the actual vibration frequency to break through the critical value, and then cause unpredictable violent fluctuations in key welding parameters such as heat input. This abnormal fluctuation of the parameters causes overheating carbonization or unmelting defects on the welding interface: the molecular chains of the material in the overheated area are broken, which greatly reduces the strength; the unmelting area forms a weak part with an interfacial peeling strength lower than the standard value, which affects the stability of the welding quality.

[0072] Specifically, the specific steps of the critical positioning method include:
[0073] Collect historical parameter data under dynamic working conditions, including basic data and dynamic images, and perform hierarchical processing on parameter data according to static basic values and dynamic fluctuations, such as decomposing the speed of the mechanical arm into rated speed and real-time fluctuation value, to facilitate subsequent analysis of the stability and fluctuation characteristics of the parameters, align the image sequences frame by frame to eliminate image displacement deviations caused by the movement of the mechanical arm, and then remove noise in the infrared image through Gaussian filtering to retain key temperature gradient features, thereby generating a hierarchical data set; wherein the basic parameters include but are not limited to the angle of rotation, the end movement speed / acceleration, the welding physical parameters, the vibration frequency, and the ultrasonic amplitude;
[0074] Perform cross-scale image feature parameter extraction. For visible light images of the material surface, perform super-resolution reconstruction to improve the image precision level for clear observation of the microstructure. Use the LBP algorithm to extract the surface texture entropy to reflect the uniformity of the surface roughness. Use the watershed algorithm to segment the surface micro-defects to calculate the density and distribution entropy of the defects to describe the aggregation degree of the defects. For infrared thermal imaging images, perform temperature field inversion based on the heat conduction equation to extract the highest temperature and temperature gradient slope of the interface. Align the infrared temperature field and the visible light image at the pixel level to establish a spatiotemporal mapping relationship containing the temperature gradient and the texture entropy, thereby realizing the correlation of different scale features, and clustering the feature parameters according to the material type to generate a feature parameter set containing the correlation weight between features;
[0075] At the physical mechanism layer, based on the ultrasonic vibration energy transmission equation and the composite material fusion dynamics model, the theoretical constraints between parameters are established. At the data-driven layer, cross-scale image feature parameters are introduced as soft constraints into the model. A physical information neural network architecture is used to build a process coupling model to predict the welding quality index. In the model training stage, historical welding data containing qualified and unqualified samples are used. The Bayesian optimization algorithm is used to adjust the weight coefficients of the image features to improve the response sensitivity of the process coupling model to image feature mutations, ensuring that the process coupling model can reflect the physical law and accurately capture the correlation between image features and welding quality. The process coupling model includes an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer. The input layer is used to receive each data set. The hidden layer embeds the physical mechanism constraint. The output layer is used to predict the welding quality index.
[0076] Set a basic critical threshold. For different batches of materials, collect 3 groups of verification samples for trial welding. Extract the image features and quality fluctuation data during the trial welding process. Calculate the sensitivity of the features and the quality of the batch materials through variance analysis. Dynamically correct the basic critical threshold based on the sensitivity, such as lowering the basic critical threshold when the sensitivity is high, to generate a critical positioning rule that contains a batched critical threshold and a three-dimensional judgment rule, such as a parameter combination less than the critical threshold for a batch of materials to be determined as far from the critical state.
[0077] Taking the robot arm speed, vibration frequency, and pressure as the three-dimensional coordinate axes, the Latin hypercube sampling method is used within the preset parameter range to generate multiple sets of parameter combinations, covering conventional and extreme working conditions to ensure the comprehensiveness of the sampling. Each set of parameter combinations is input into the process coupling model, and the corresponding welding quality index and image feature parameters are calculated. Combined with the critical threshold, the bifurcation point from stability to chaos is marked and annotated on the three-dimensional coordinate axis. The stable region, subcritical region, and chaotic region are marked with different colors. At the same time, the critical threshold surface of the image features is superimposed to form a parameter bifurcation map of the fusion parameters and image features. Among them, the parameter combinations in the stable region are all less than the stable critical threshold, and the parameter combinations in the subcritical region are between the stable critical threshold and the chaotic critical threshold. That is, the parameter combinations in the subcritical region are close to the chaotic critical threshold but have not entered the chaotic region. The welding quality begins to fluctuate slightly, and the image features show a transitional state that is a precursor to abnormalities. The parameter combinations in the chaotic region are greater than the chaotic critical threshold, indicating that the critical threshold has been broken through and the nonlinear chaotic region has entered. The welding quality fluctuates violently and there is a risk of serious defects.
[0078] For bifurcation points in the parameter bifurcation map, Monte Carlo simulation is used to generate multiple sets of perturbation parameter combinations within the preset parameter fluctuation neighborhood. The corresponding welding quality indicators are predicted through the process coupling model, and the critical threshold is combined to determine whether the current parameter combination is in a chaotic state. At the same time, multiple simulations are performed on the same parameter combination to calculate the probability of each parameter combination entering a chaotic state, obtain a baseline probability distribution, and then draw a probability cloud map on the three-dimensional coordinate axis;
[0079] For new materials, probability cloud maps of similar materials are retrieved from the historical database. A domain-adaptive transfer learning algorithm is used to transfer the probability distribution of similar materials to the new material, reducing the sampling volume of new materials and improving efficiency. At the same time, microscopic images of wear on the robotic arm joints are collected, and the correlation coefficient between the wear degree and the chaos probability is calculated and integrated into the probability cloud map to form a chaos boundary probability cloud map that simultaneously associates the material type and the equipment status. Among them, by extracting the characteristic parameter set of the new material and calculating the Euclidean distance with the characteristic vector of the material in the historical database, materials with a Euclidean distance less than the similarity difference threshold are defined as similar materials.
[0080] Based on the chaos boundary probability cloud map, three levels of chaotic areas are divided according to the chaos probability value, including low-risk area, warning area, and high-risk area. Each level of area corresponds to a different image feature threshold. The distribution law of image feature parameters in each area is statistically analyzed, and a correlation matrix containing parameter range, image features, and chaos probability is established. The test welding data is substituted into the correlation matrix, and the deviation between the actual chaos probability value and the predicted value is calculated. Once the deviation is greater than the correction threshold, the area boundary is fine-tuned to form a critical area parameter set to clarify the parameter range, corresponding image features, and chaos probability of different risk areas.
[0081] Specifically, the specific method of the critical early warning method comprises:
[0082] Start the high-resolution multispectral vision acquisition device to continuously acquire image data at a frequency synchronized with the welding rhythm, including images of the motion trajectory of the welding head at the end of the mechanical arm, real-time images of the welding interface, and images of the micro features of the material surface. Based on the inter-frame alignment algorithm, real-time correction of image displacement deviation caused by mechanical arm movement or vibration is performed by identifying fixed marker points in the images to ensure pixel-level alignment of images at different times. At the same time, real-time noise suppression is performed on the infrared images to retain temperature gradient features, generating a multispectral sequence;
[0083] Cross-scale image feature parameter extraction is performed on the multispectral sequence to generate a real-time feature sequence;
[0084] Based on the critical region parameter set, the stable critical threshold value corresponding to the current material batch is obtained, which is the boundary value between the stable region and the subcritical region. The real-time feature parameters are compared with the stable critical threshold value. If any feature exceeds the stable critical threshold value, it is marked as a potential abnormal feature. If all features are less than the stable critical threshold value, it is determined that the current welding is normal, and the next interval of real-time feature sequence is continuously acquired for further abnormality monitoring;
[0085] For potential abnormal features, the single-feature deviation rate is calculated based on the ratio of the difference between the real-time feature parameters and the stable critical threshold value to the stable critical threshold value. Combined with the feature correlation weight, weighted calculation is performed to obtain the comprehensive abnormality degree of the real-time feature sequence;
[0086] Combined with the process coupling model, the parameter combination of the real-time feature sequence is back calculated, and the region is located in the parameter bifurcation graph. The chaos probability and chaos probability change rate of the parameter combination are obtained by querying the chaos boundary probability cloud map;
[0087] If the comprehensive abnormality degree is greater than the abnormal threshold value and the chaos probability change rate is greater than the abnormal rate threshold value, it is determined that there is a critical drift, and a hierarchical early warning is performed for the critical drift. If the comprehensive abnormality degree is between the abnormal threshold value and the secondary abnormal threshold value and the parameter combination is located in the subcritical region, a first-level warning is triggered to prompt enhanced monitoring, and an abnormal feature time sequence curve is generated. Otherwise, a second-level warning is triggered to immediately start parameter reconstruction.
[0088] Specifically, the specific steps of the dynamic reconstruction method comprise:
[0089] Receive the second-level warning signal and the diagnostic data, perform multi-level analysis, extract the potential abnormal features and the abnormal feature time sequence curve contained in the warning, accurately locate the position of the current warning parameter combination in the parameter bifurcation graph based on the parameter bifurcation graph, and define it as a risk region, such as a high-risk region or a subcritical region;
[0090] Call the critical region parameter set, query the safety zone boundary parameter corresponding to the risk region, that is, the stable critical threshold, and through the process coupling model, the root cause of the abnormality is backstepped;
[0091] With the safety zone boundary as the target, the basic offset of each parameter in the parameter combination from the current value to the safety zone boundary is calculated. Due to the coupling relationship between parameters, such as the need to simultaneously increase the pressure to maintain energy input when the vibration frequency is reduced, the coupling coefficient is introduced to correct the basic offset, ensuring that the adjusted parameter combination still meets the energy balance. At the same time, combined with the material characteristics, the corresponding material correction coefficient is called to modify the offset again, avoiding the situation where the adjusted parameters are still at the critical edge. The smoothness of the mechanical arm motion trajectory is also monitored to avoid mechanical impact caused by parameter mutation;
[0092] The drift of the real-time characteristic parameter is calculated based on the difference between the real-time value and the stable critical threshold. The comprehensive drift is calculated by combining the load drift with the sensitivity as the weight. The basic coefficient is set for the comprehensive drift, and the drift acceleration is obtained synchronously. The time-varying damping factor is calculated by setting the dynamic coefficient;
[0093] The initial pressure and initial amplitude are obtained, and the time-varying damping factor is used for coordinated correction of the pressure and amplitude. The welding depth is monitored in real time through the visual device, and the target welding depth is called to calculate the target welding deviation. Once the target welding deviation is greater than the deviation threshold, the control parameters are adjusted based on the PID algorithm, and the compensation parameter set is finally generated;
[0094] Based on the image acquisition frequency, the rolling period is set. The dynamic objective function is constructed through the weighted calculation of temperature gradient fluctuation value, defect density growth rate, and fusion zone area proportion deviation. The weight is the feature correlation weight, and the heat input stability is the optimization objective. At the same time, the constraint conditions are set, such as the parameter adjustment amplitude in a single cycle not exceeding the safety range, to avoid violent fluctuations;
[0095] The particle swarm algorithm with mutation operator is used to search for the optimal parameter combination in the safety zone. The initial parameters are generated based on the compensation parameter set. Random mutation is introduced every iteration to avoid local optimum, thereby generating the optimal parameter combination for the current period. Linear interpolation is used for parameter smooth transition during adjustment to avoid new fluctuations caused by mutation;
[0096] The feature parameters of the three images after adjustment are collected, and the single feature deviation rate of each parameter in each image is calculated to obtain the average deviation rate of the stable critical threshold in the three images. If the average deviation rate is less than the deviation verification threshold, it is determined that the adjustment is initially effective, otherwise, it is determined that the adjustment is ineffective;
[0097] A plurality of rolling periods are continuously monitored, and the standard deviation of the parameter combination during the monitoring process is calculated. If the standard deviation is less than the standard verification threshold, it indicates that the trend is stable and there is no sharp fluctuation, and it is determined to be out of risk. Otherwise, it is determined to be not out of risk.
[0098] If any verification fails, that is, the adjustment is determined to be invalid or not out of risk, the above parameter adjustment and compensation process is repeated until all indicators meet the stable state requirements, thereby generating the optimal parameter combination and adjustment record.
[0099] Specifically, the specific steps of the iterative optimization method include:
[0100] Various key data during the welding process are automatically summarized and structured, and based on the welding batch, material type, and equipment state, three-level label classification is performed to ensure traceability. The parameter data is converted into dimensionless indicators, such as the percentage of the current value relative to the stable region boundary, and the quality data is converted into the deviation rate relative to the process standard value, and finally a full-dimensional database is formed. The key data includes the optimal parameter combination, the real-time drift curve during the parameter adjustment process, the abnormal feature time series data, the key image frame when the early warning is triggered, the detection data after welding, and the historical reference data.
[0101] The real-time image features during the welding process and the interface image features after welding are time-aligned, the dynamic time warping algorithm is used to calculate the similarity, the samples with similarity exceeding the correlation threshold are selected and defined as matching samples to ensure the consistency of process features and result features.
[0102] Based on the Pearson correlation coefficient, the linear correlation degree of the image feature drift and the parameter drift is calculated for the matching samples to analyze the linear relationship between the parameter drift and the image feature drift. Based on the mutual information entropy, the nonlinear correlation degree of the image feature drift and the parameter drift is calculated, and the influence weight of each parameter and image feature on the quality score is calculated through the random forest algorithm. Based on the correlation degree, the correlation rule library is sorted and generated, including the linear correlation coefficient, the nonlinear correlation coefficient, the quality influence weight, and the regulation and guidance rule.
[0103] Combined with the correlation rule library, the process coupling model is updated in layers. In the physical layer, the material coefficient in the ultrasonic vibration energy transmission equation is corrected according to the linear correlation rule between the parameter and the energy transmission. In the data-driven layer, the weight of the image feature in the neural network is adjusted based on the nonlinear correlation degree, and the three rules with the highest quality influence weight are converted into hard constraints of the model.
[0104] Incremental learning is carried out by using a federal learning framework, sub-models are trained in batches according to welding batches, a sub-model is trained for each batch of data, model parameters are reserved, sub-model parameters are fused by weighted average, historical data forgetting is avoided, and the prediction error of a new model on the last 3 batches of data needs to be less than the learning proportion of the original model, otherwise the weight is adjusted backtracking;

[0110] Another embodiment provided by the present application is a composite material welding parameter control device, comprising a critical positioning module, a critical early warning module, a dynamic reconstruction module and an iterative optimization module.
[0111] The critical positioning module is used to establish a process coupling model containing pressure, welding depth, vibration frequency, ultrasonic amplitude, and image feature parameters based on the physical mechanism of mechanical arm motion characteristics, ultrasonic vibration transmission path, and material response, combined with image features of the welding interface and material surface; through acquisition of historical parameter data and hierarchical processing, extraction of cross-scale image features, and setting of critical threshold, a parameter bifurcation atlas is generated, and a chaotic boundary probability cloud map is constructed in combination with material image feature differences to locate the parameter critical region.
[0112] The critical early warning module is used to continuously acquire image data of the motion trajectory of the welding head at the end of the mechanical arm, the state of the welding interface, and the micro features of the material surface through a high-resolution multispectral vision acquisition device, and to extract real-time features after correction and noise reduction processing; based on the parameter set of the critical region, abnormal changes in the features are analyzed, and nonlinear precursors of parameters close to critical values are captured to trigger graded early warnings.
[0113] The dynamic reconstruction module is used to calculate the safety offset of the current parameters to the subcritical region based on the parameter bifurcation atlas after triggering the early warning, and to correct the offset in combination with the parameter coupling relationship; a time-varying damping factor related to the image feature drift amount is introduced, and the pressure-welding depth collaborative output is dynamically adjusted through a fuzzy logic algorithm to offset the nonlinear amplification effect; the optimal parameter combination is reconstructed in a rolling optimization period to ensure the stability of heat input.
[0114] The iterative optimization module is used to collect parameter drift, interface image, and quality detection data of each batch of welding, and to mine the association rules of image features and parameter drift after structured processing; the process coupling model is updated using incremental learning, and the bifurcation boundary is corrected in real time by comparing feature differences and online parameter identification for new materials or process fluctuations to form a closed-loop system of image monitoring, parameter control, and model optimization, thereby enhancing the adaptability to parameter critical point drift.
[0115] Working principle and effects:
[0116] Based on the motion characteristics of the mechanical arm, the transmission law of ultrasonic vibration and the response mechanism of materials, the multi-parameter process coupling model is established by fusing the cross-scale image features of the welding interface and surface. The parameter bifurcation atlas and chaos boundary probability cloud map are generated through simulation to clearly define the parameter boundaries of stable region, subcritical region and chaotic region. The high-resolution visual device is used to collect image data in real time, extract key features and analyze abnormal changes, capture the nonlinear precursor of parameters approaching critical values, and trigger hierarchical warning. After the warning, the safety offset is calculated and the time-varying damping factor is introduced to dynamically adjust the parameters such as the speed of the mechanical arm, the amplitude of the ultrasonic vibration and the pressure, and to migrate the parameter combination to the safe region to offset the nonlinear amplification effect. At the same time, the whole process data is collected to mine the correlation law of image features and parameter drift, and the model is updated through incremental learning to dynamically correct the critical boundary for new materials or process fluctuations, forming an adaptive closed loop. The critical point drift problem that the traditional method cannot handle is effectively solved, and through accurate identification of chaos precursors, dynamic regulation of parameters and continuous optimization of the model, the dramatic fluctuation of heat input caused by the parameter breaking through the critical value is avoided, and the defects such as overheating carbonization and incomplete fusion are inhibited, which significantly improves the stability of the welding quality and ensures that the strength of the welding interface meets the standard, effectively avoiding the risk of mechanical performance degradation caused by chaos effect.
