TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of laser processing equipment, in particular to a focal point drift compensation method, a laser processing equipment, a controller and a program product. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, high-power fiber output type continuous laser processing applications have been very popular. Taking laser cutting as an example, the market of tens of thousands of watts of laser processing is also growing rapidly. As the intermediate core medium between the output end of the laser and the processing end, the stability of the internal optical system of the laser processing head is crucial to the processing.
[0003] Affected by the thermal lens effect, the internal optical system of the laser processing head is heated due to the continuous absorption of beam energy in the beam transmission process, causing the real-time change of the refractive index of the lens, and ultimately leading to the real-time change of the focal point position of the laser processing head on the optical axis. The consequence is that the processing parameters change, the processing stability deteriorates, and even the processing quality and performance deteriorate.
[0004] In order to compensate for the drift of the focal point position, the existing focal point drift compensation methods usually include: fitting compensation by detecting the power and time change curve of the laser processing head through a focal point drift detection instrument, detecting the real-time spot size for compensation by setting a beam splitting spot detection module in the focusing beam section, adjusting the focal point position in real time to achieve quantitative width compensation by detecting the processing width of the visual detection spot, and compensating by monitoring the temperature of each optical lens through temperature sensing and cooperating with the focal point drift temperature coefficient of the lens. Due to the low cost, real-time temperature measurement, etc. of the focal point drift compensation method of monitoring the temperature of the lens in real time, this method is widely used. Based on the detection of multiple groups of temperature and stable focal point drift data, the focal point drift temperature compensation coefficient of each optical lens of the laser processing head is obtained, and the real-time focal point drift is determined by cooperating with the real-time temperature difference.
[0005] In actual application scenarios, the focal point drift temperature compensation coefficient of each optical lens of the laser processing head is a constant, which has good adaptability to focal point drift compensation under gradual temperature change. However, due to the data lag of the temperature sensing detection method itself and the precision under the jump type change of temperature rise, the temperature data acquisition is not timely, and the temperature jump under the sharp change of focal point drift has a double impact, which will cause the existing temperature focal point drift compensation method to be unable to effectively compensate for the focal point drift, so that the processing technology in the initial period of light emission is unstable or even invalid, which may cause resource waste and adversely affect the processing precision, and cannot meet the actual processing demand. SUMMARY
[0006] Therefore, the embodiments of the present application aim to provide a focus drift compensation method, a laser processing device, a controller and a program product to improve the poor focus drift compensation effect in the prior art.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The flowchart of the first focal point drift compensation method provided by the embodiment of the present application can include steps S100-S400.
[0046] Step S100, determining a focal point drift temperature compensation factor of the drift of the laser focal point of the laser processing device with the change of the processing time.
[0047] Among them, considering the change of the time-focal point drift in the laser processing process, the focal point drift temperature compensation factor of the drift of the laser focal point with the change of the processing time can be determined first.
[0048] Optionally, considering the influence of the temperature on each optical device in the laser processing device, the corresponding focal point drift temperature compensation factor can be calculated according to the focal point drift temperature coefficient (or called thermal focal length drift coefficient, that is, the offset of the focal point position of the optical device with the change of the temperature, usually expressed as the focal length change per degree Celsius, such as μm / °C or mm / °C) of the optical device.
[0049] Step S200, determining a focal point drift time compensation factor of the drift of the laser focal point with the change of the power of the laser processing device.
[0050] Among them, considering the change of the power-focal point drift in the laser processing process, the focal point drift time compensation factor with the change of the power of the laser processing device can be determined first, so as to determine the correlation between the focal point drift and the time, temperature, power and the like based on the focal point drift temperature compensation factor and the focal point drift time compensation factor.
[0051] Optionally, considering that there is a positive linkage between the power and the focus drift, for example, the greater the power, the greater the distance of the focus drift, therefore, the focus drift time compensation factor can be calculated according to the actual change of the power.
[0052] In step S300, the focus drift compensation value of the laser processing device is determined according to the focus drift temperature compensation factor and the focus drift time compensation factor.
[0053] In step S300, the focus drift compensation value of the laser processing device is determined according to the focus drift temperature compensation factor and the focus drift time compensation factor.

[0060] Step S110, determine the focal point drift temperature coefficient of each optical device in the laser processing equipment.
[0061] Wherein, since each optical device in the laser processing equipment will be affected by temperature change, thereby affecting the focal point position, therefore, the focal point drift temperature coefficient of each optical device can be determined first.
[0062] Step S120, determine the starting temperature before each optical device emits light, and the real-time temperature under the light-emitting time.
[0063] Wherein, in order to determine the influence of temperature change on focal point drift, the starting temperature before each optical device emits light, and the real-time temperature under the light-emitting time can be collected respectively.
[0064] It should be noted that in the laser processing equipment, a corresponding temperature sensor can be set for each optical device, and the temperature sensor can be set on the side of the optical device to reduce the influence on the normal use of the optical device. The temperature detector can detect the temperature of the center area of the lens of the optical device, and the detection area range is 0.2mm-D / 2 diameter, wherein D is the effective clear aperture of the detected optical device. The temperature detector can be a single-pixel sensor or a multi-pixel area sensor with adjustable emissivity, which can improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the obtained starting temperature and real-time temperature.
[0065] Step S130, according to the plurality of focal point drift temperature coefficients, the plurality of starting temperatures and the plurality of real-time temperatures, determine the focal point drift temperature compensation coefficient.
[0066] Wherein, according to the starting temperature before each optical device emits light, and the real-time temperature under the light-emitting time, combined with the focal point drift temperature coefficient, the focal point drift temperature compensation coefficient of the plurality of optical devices affecting the focal point drift can be determined.
[0067] Step S140, determine the focal point drift temperature compensation factor based on the focal point drift temperature compensation coefficient and the first influence exponential function.
[0068] Wherein, considering the time change and temperature change, the focal point drift temperature compensation factor changing with the processing time can be determined by combining the focal point drift temperature compensation coefficient and the first influence exponential function which can reflect the change.
[0069] In Figure 2In the embodiment shown, the corresponding focal point drift temperature compensation factor can be calculated by combining the actual focal point drift temperature coefficient time and the influence index function, which improves the effectiveness of the focal point drift temperature compensation factor, thereby improving the effectiveness of the focal point drift compensation value calculated based on the focal point drift temperature compensation factor, to optimize the effect of compensating and calibrating the focal point drift of the laser focal point.

[0071] In step S111, a plurality of test power segments are determined according to the available power range of the laser processing equipment.
[0072] Since each optical device is different, in order to obtain a focal point drift temperature coefficient of an optical device with high effectiveness, a plurality of test power segments can be determined according to the available power range of the laser processing equipment.
[0073] Optionally, the highest application power of the laser processing equipment The corresponding available power range [0, ] can be determined, which is divided into j test power segments, i.e., [1 / j, 2 / j,..., 1] , and the number of data can be increased by increasing the number of test power segments to improve the effectiveness of calculation and verification based on the data, thereby improving the effectiveness of the finally obtained focal point drift temperature coefficient, for example, j> 2. and j≥2 , For the number of optical devices in the optical system of the laser processing equipment, for example, when the optical devices include a collimating mirror, a focusing mirror, and a protective mirror, i=3.
[0074] In step S112, temperature-focal point drift change tests are performed on the laser processing equipment based on each test power segment to obtain temperature data and focal point drift data.
[0075] In step S112, temperature-focal point drift change tests are performed on the laser processing equipment based on each test power segment to obtain temperature data and focal point drift data.
[0076] Optionally, for each of the j test power segments, the temperature and focal point drift of the light output of each optical device inside the laser processing device is tested, and the unstable light output early stage, such as the temperature change data and the synchronous focal point drift data in the seconds before the light output and during the light output, is recorded until the change of the focal point drift data tends to be stable, and then the light output is stopped.
[0077] Optionally, the basic cooling temperature of each optical device after the last light output is ended can also be calculated as the basis at the beginning of the next light output.
[0078] Step S113, based on the temperature data and the focal point drift data, the stable focal point drift value is determined.
[0079] The stable focal point drift value in the stable state can be determined according to the test obtained temperature data and focal point drift data.
[0080] Optionally, the average temperature of each optical device in the unstable light output early stage, such as the seconds before the light output, can be calculated as the starting temperature of the corresponding test power segment 、 、...、 , the average temperature of each optical device is sampled for several seconds after the light output, and the average temperature is taken as the stable temperature 、 、...、 , the 、 、...、 , and 、 、...、 , and is taken as the corresponding temperature data, and the average value is taken as the stable focal point drift value of the optical system composed of multiple optical devices in the stable state based on the focal point drift data of the same time period sampled above .

[0082] The optimal focal point drift temperature coefficient of each optical device can be determined according to the stable focal point drift value.
[0083] Optionally, based on the temperature data and the stable focal point drift value in the multiple test power segments, the focal point drift temperature coefficient of the multiple optical devices can be calculated by the following formula, that is 、 、...、 : ; wherein the above total j equations, total combinations of ways to solve , ,..., values can be solved based on various combinations of ways to solve , ,..., values to verify all equations, to calculate the corresponding verification of the focal shift value , compared with the original , according to the minimum principle, the optimal solution standard, obtained , ,..., , as the corresponding focal shift temperature coefficient of each optical device.
[0084] Optionally, the focal shift temperature coefficient can be in the range of [-1, 0], the positive and negative values of the focal shift temperature coefficient of each optical device are related to the material properties of its lens, which is specifically affected by the change of the refractive index of the material with temperature and the thermal expansion coefficient. If the two ultimately result in the shortening of the focal length of the optical device with the increase of temperature, the focal shift temperature coefficient is negative, and vice versa. For quartz material, the thermal expansion effect is very small, mainly affected by the change of the refractive index with temperature, and ultimately its focal length is shortened with the increase of temperature; while the lens temperature rise is affected by the material itself and the absorption rate of the coating layer, the greater the absorption, the higher the temperature rise; the proximity of the temperature measurement module (generally infrared non-contact measurement) to the optical device and the emissivity of the temperature measurement module ultimately affect the temperature detection, so these factors may make the focal shift temperature coefficients of different optical devices different.
[0085] In the embodiment shown in Figure 3 , the focal shift temperature coefficient can be effectively calibrated according to the multiple sets of data under multiple test power segments, improving the effectiveness of the focal shift temperature coefficient.
[0086] It should be noted that the focal shift temperature compensation factor can include: ; ; wherein, is the focal shift temperature compensation factor, is the focal shift temperature compensation coefficient, , ,..., is the first The focus drift temperature coefficient of each optical device, 、 ,..., For the 1st The starting temperature of the light front of each optical device, is the light emission time of the laser processing equipment, 、 ,..., For the 1st The optical device emits light at The real-time temperature, is the natural exponential function, is the first influence index function, is a thermally related influencing factor. A corresponding focus drift temperature compensation coefficient can be calculated based on the temperature changes of multiple optical components in the laser processing equipment and the focus drift temperature coefficient. A first influence exponential function is determined based on the thermally related influencing factor, time, and a natural exponential function. The focus drift temperature compensation factor is then determined by combining the focus drift temperature compensation coefficient and the first influence exponential function.
[0087] Optionally, see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flow chart of a second focus drift compensation method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method may further include steps S151-S153.

[0091] Step S152, according to the first focus shift change data, combining the real-time focus shift data of the test power section, to determine the first focus shift difference value.
[0092] Wherein, the first focus shift difference value can be calculated according to the actual real-time focus shift data of the test power section.
[0093] Optionally, according to the first focus shift change data The real-time focus shift data of the test power section starting from light emission is compared to calculate the corresponding first focus shift difference value.
[0094] Step S153, according to the first focus shift difference value and the focus shift jump time of the pre-stage of the laser processing equipment light emission, to obtain the thermal correlation influence factor.
[0095] Wherein, in order to consider the temperature and focus shift jump of the pre-stage of light emission, the first focus shift difference value and the focus shift jump time of the pre-stage of the laser processing equipment light emission are determined to determine the corresponding thermal correlation influence factor.
[0096] It should be noted that, considering the focus shift situation in the unstable pre-stage of light emission of the laser processing equipment, for example, there is a large jump in the first tens of seconds (for example, 60 seconds) of light emission, and gradually tends to be stable and fluctuates around 0 value with time. The phenomenon increases, the focus shift jump time can be divided into two stages, the first tens of seconds (for example, the first 20 seconds) of the pre-stage of light emission, due to the delay of temperature data, the effectiveness of focus shift compensation is low, the latter part of the pre-stage of light emission (for example, the latter 40 seconds), the focus shift situation is sudden and the compensation changes exponentially, therefore, for the pre-stage of light emission with large focus shift jump, the exponential change of focus shift situation in the latter part of the time period can be calibrated and compensated first, and the focus shift algorithm of The first focus shift difference value in the j test power section in this time period is equal to 0 or close to 0 as the optimization target, and the best As the determined thermal correlation influence factor.
[0097] In the embodiment shown in Figure 4 The effectiveness of the focus shift temperature compensation factor for focus position compensation in the pre-stage of light emission is effectively improved.

[0101] Step S220 , determining the output light power within the available power range of the laser processing equipment and the calibration power associated with the amplitude influence factor.
[0102] Among them, considering the influence of power on focus drift, the light output power within the available power range of the laser processing equipment and the calibration power associated with the amplitude influence factor can be determined.
[0103] Step S230 : determining a focus drift time compensation factor based on the amplitude influence factor, the change speed influence factor, the output light power, the calibration power, and the second influence index function.
[0104] Among them, the focus drift time compensation factor that changes with the power of the laser processing equipment can be determined based on the amplitude influence factor, the change speed influence factor, the light output power, the calibration power, and a second influence index function that can reflect the change situation.
[0105] It should be noted that the focus drift time compensation factor may include: ; in, is the focus drift time compensation factor, is the amplitude influence factor, is the change speed influencing factor, is the optical output power, To calibrate the power, The second influence exponential function is used to determine the amplitude of the focus drift based on the actual output power of the laser processing equipment, the calibration power, and the amplitude influence factor associated with the calibration power. Furthermore, the second influence exponential function is determined based on the change rate influence factor, time, and the natural exponential function. The focus drift time compensation factor is then determined based on the amplitude of the focus drift and the second influence exponential function.
[0106] For example, the amplitude impact factor With calibrated power There is a correlation between them. Taking the laser processing equipment’s power range as [0, Pmax] as an example, the output power P is any value within this range, and the calibration power Also a value within the available power range, calibration power After determining, the amplitude influence factor b is also determined, the focal point drift generated by the laser focal point is positively changed with the power, for example, the maximum power Pmax=20000W, the positive correlation change of the power: focal point drift value can include: 2000W:0.2mm; 4000W:0.4mm; 6000W:0.6mm; 8000W:0.8mm; 10000W:1mm; 15000W:1.5mm; 20000W:2mm.
[0107] For example, taking the calibration power =2000W, then the corresponding amplitude influence factor b=0.2, at this time the focal point drift under any output power P satisfies 0.2*P / 2000. Taking the calibration power =10000W, then the corresponding amplitude influence factor b=1, at this time the focal point drift under any power P satisfies 1*P / 10000. No matter what value the output power P takes, the focal point drift is changed with the algorithm.
[0108] In Figure 5 The embodiment shown improves the effectiveness of the focal point drift time compensation factor, thereby improving the effectiveness of the focal point drift compensation value calculated based on the focal point drift time compensation factor, to optimize the effect of compensating and calibrating the focal point drift of the laser focal point.

[0122] The hybrid focus drift compensation algorithm may be determined by combining the determined focus drift scaling factor, the time impact factor, the focus drift temperature compensation factor, and the focus drift time compensation factor.
[0123] Optionally, the focus drift scaling coefficient is a coefficient compensating for a hardware detection error existing in the focus drift analysis device, and the time influence factor is an influence factor compensating for a difference in time influence between the focus drift temperature compensation factor and the focus drift time compensation factor.

[0141] Step S343: Determine the time impact factor according to the hybrid focus drift difference.
[0142] The hybrid focus drift difference may be determined by comparing the hybrid focus drift value with the measured focus drift value, so as to determine a suitable time influencing factor according to the hybrid focus drift difference.
[0143] Optionally, the time impact factor is determined in the same way as Figure 4 The embodiment is similar and will not be described in detail. The optimization goal can be to make the hybrid focus drift difference within the time period under j test power segments equal to 0 or close to 0, and the optimal n can be obtained as the determined time impact factor.
[0144] It should be noted that the thermal correlation factor, the change speed factor and the time factor are related to the heat conduction and the heat exchange coefficient of the material, and are related to the time required for the optical device to reach thermal equilibrium. The faster the thermal equilibrium, the smaller the corresponding a, c and n values, and vice versa. For example, the value range of a, c and n can be [0.5, 20].

[0150] In the actual laser processing scene, the laser processing equipment may be frequently turned on and off. In order to effectively compensate the focal point drift under the condition of frequent on-off light, so that the laser processing equipment can normally enter the next working stage, the off-light time period of the laser processing equipment, and the first light-out time period before the off-light time period and the second light-out time period after the off-light time period are determined to divide the multiple time periods under the condition of frequent on-off light.

[0152] Step S520, based on the focal point drift compensation value, determining a first type focal point drift value at the end time of the first light-out time period.
[0153] For example, in the first light-out time period, the first type focal point drift value at the end time of the first light-out time period can be determined according to the calculated focal point drift compensation value, and the first type focal point drift value is used to adjust the position of the target optical device on the optical axis after the end of the first light-out time period.
[0154] Optionally, since the hybrid focal point drift compensation method is adopted, the temperature data of each lens is involved, in order to avoid the problem of the previous compensation scheme, i.e. the temperature data of each lens at the moment before each light-out is obtained as the initial temperature, because of the delay of the measured temperature data, the focal point drift compensation effect is not ideal and the data is random, the compensation scheme takes the initial temperature before the first light-out as the reference, and calculates the focal point drift under the condition of subsequent frequent light-out.
[0155] For example, in this case, the focal point drift temperature compensation factor under light-out is: ; The calculated first type focal point drift value may be: ; wherein, is the equivalent time of light-out, in the case of taking the first light-out time period as the initial light-out time period, =0, is the end time of the first light-out time period.

[0158] Optionally, the light-off influence factor can be: ; wherein, is the end time of the light-off time period, g is a second heat-related influence factor related to the thermal conductivity and heat exchange coefficient of the material, g is related to the time required for the optical device to reach cooling equilibrium from a thermal state, and g belongs to a time type parameter.

[0164] Optionally, the third type of focus shift value calculated may be: ; wherein, is the end time of the second light-out time period.
[0165] In Figure 10 the embodiment shown, the focus shift values at the end times of each adjacent time period under the condition of frequent light switching are associated and calculated, thereby optimizing the focus shift compensation effect between each time period.
[0166] Please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 11 A structure schematic diagram of a laser processing device is provided in the embodiment of the present application, wherein the laser processing device can comprise a plurality of optical devices 610, a controller 620 and a focusing device 630; The controller 620 is connected with the focusing device 630, and the plurality of optical devices 610 are distributed along the optical axis direction, and the focusing device 630 is connected with a target optical device 610 in the plurality of optical devices 610; The controller 620 is configured to determine a focal point drift temperature compensation factor of a laser focal point drift of the laser processing device varying with processing time, determine a focal point drift time compensation factor of the laser focal point drift varying with power of the laser processing device, determine a focal point drift compensation value of the laser processing device according to the focal point drift temperature compensation factor and the focal point drift time compensation factor, and control the focusing device 630 to adjust the position of the target optical device 610 on the optical axis Z according to the focal point drift compensation value.
[0167] Optionally, the focusing device 630 can be a motor, a lead screw, a worm gear, a worm, or other devices with position adjustment functions.
[0168] For example, the optical devices are all made of quartz material, and the laser processing device is provided with a collimation protection mirror + a collimation mirror + a focusing mirror + a post-focusing protection mirror, the collimation mirror has a focal length F100, the focusing mirror has a focal length F300, corresponding to k1=-0.05, k2=-0.35, k3=-0.2, k4=-0.15, a=8, b=-2, P0=10000, c=4, n=15. The variation trend of the focal point drift compensation value calculated based on the hybrid focal point drift compensation algorithm is the same as the actual measured focal point drift variation trend, so the target optical device can be compensated by the focusing device. For example, the target optical device is a collimation mirror or a focusing mirror (the protection mirror generally cannot be used as a focal point compensation element because its focal length is theoretically infinite, and only a limited focal length such as collimation or focusing compensation can be used), assuming that the target optical device is a focusing mirror, then the collimation mirror is fixed, and at this time, the focal point drift compensation value can be compensated by moving one-to-one. Assuming that the target optical device is a collimation mirror, then the focusing mirror is fixed, and at this time, according to the proportional relationship, focal point drift compensation value x (F1 / F2) 2 Adjust the collimation distance, wherein F1 is the focal length of the collimation mirror, and F2 is the focal length of the focusing mirror. In addition, in the adjustment direction, if the focal point position is shortened (i.e., moving towards the focusing mirror), then the focusing mirror needs to move towards the focal point end, and vice versa, and the collimation focusing is opposite.
