Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of welded pipe forming technology, and particularly relates to an online feedback adjustment system for the roller position of rectangular welded pipe roll bending forming and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] In the roll bending process of rectangular welded pipes, in order to meet the needs of products with different specifications and sizes, the same roll bending production line often needs to frequently change production tasks. Whenever product specifications are changed, a key and tedious step is to precisely adjust the roll positions of each pass on the production line.

[0003] Currently, roller position adjustment mainly relies on manual operation. This process is highly experience-dependent and labor-intensive. Operators need to manually pre-adjust the roller position for each pass based on the specifications of the target pipe material, their personal experience, and their understanding of the equipment status. It is an extremely physically demanding and technically challenging task.

[0004] After the roller positions are pre-adjusted, multiple trial roller bends are usually required to verify the rationality of each roller position. Operators repeatedly thread the tape, stop the machine to measure the dimensions, and then adjust the roller positions based on the measurement results. This process is not only time-consuming and significantly reduces the effective utilization rate of the production line, but also inevitably produces defective tubes with unqualified dimensions, resulting in a waste of resources and manpower.

[0005] After the roller positions are properly adjusted, the welded pipe roll bending process begins. Roll bending is a multi-pass, continuous, and gradual process. If there is a slight deviation in the roller gap distance in a particular pass, this deviation will directly affect the sheet metal being formed, causing its cross-sectional shape and metal flow to deviate from the ideal state. This error will be transmitted and amplified as the sheet metal enters subsequent passes. Even if the roller positions in subsequent passes are precise, it is difficult to completely correct the cross-sectional shape deviation caused by the previous passes, ultimately affecting product quality.

[0006] In summary, existing roller position adjustment methods suffer from several drawbacks: strong reliance on experience, high labor intensity, significant modifications to existing roller bending units, high costs, and a lack of online feedback adjustment for roller position. To address these issues, there is an urgent need for an online feedback adjustment system for the roller position of rectangular welded pipe roller bending forming, along with its operational method.

[0080] During use, the operator should adjust the theoretical forming angle for each pass according to the roller pattern.

[0083] As an optional implementation, the profile bracket 400 includes support frames at both ends and a load-bearing crossbeam fixed between the two support frames, and a plurality of vision acquisition units are fixed on the load-bearing crossbeam.

[0084] As an optional implementation, the roll forming assembly includes:

[0085] Two symmetrical archways 004 are arranged. The bottom of the archway 004 is fixedly connected to a lower bearing box 012. The two ends of the lower roller are respectively rotatably connected to the corresponding lower bearing box 012.

[0086] The upper bearing box 011 is vertically slidably installed inside the archway 004 via a slide groove. The upper roller 001 is axially connected to the roller shaft 002 in the middle. The two ends of the roller shaft 002 are rotatably connected to the corresponding upper bearing box 011. The roller position adjustment device 200 is connected to the top of the two archways 004.

[0087] As an optional implementation, the roller position adjustment device 200 includes two lifting parts, which are mounted on the corresponding archway 004;

[0088] The lifting unit includes:

[0089] The archway cover 005 is fixed to the top of the archway 004;

[0091] Driven bevel gear 016 is shaft-connected to the top of adjusting screw 008;

[0092] The driving bevel gear 015 meshes with the driven bevel gear 016;

[0093] Servo motor 007 is fixed to the archway cover 005 by servo motor fixing screw 006. Servo motor output shaft 014 of servo motor 007 is shaft-connected to drive bevel gear 015. Servo motor 007 is electrically connected to host computer 100 through servo motor controller 700.

[0094] As an optional implementation, the tilt sensing unit includes:

[0095] The tilt sensor base 003 is fixed at both ends to the top of the corresponding upper bearing box 011 by base fixing screws 010;

[0096] The tilt sensor is fixed to the middle of the tilt sensor base 003 by tilt sensor fixing screw 009, and the tilt sensor is electrically connected to the host computer 100.

[0097] As an optional implementation, the visual acquisition unit includes:

[0098] Line laser 301 is fixedly connected to profile bracket 400 and electrically connected to host computer 100.

[0099] Industrial camera 302 is fixedly attached to profile bracket 400 and electrically connected to host computer 100.

[0100] The present invention comprises a host computer 100, a roller position adjustment device 200, a vision acquisition system 300, a profile support 400, an inclination sensor group 500, a roller bending machine 600, and a servo motor controller 700.

[0101] The host computer 100 serves as the control center of the online feedback adjustment system for the roll position of the rectangular welded pipe. It establishes a communication link with the vision acquisition system 300 through a gigabit Ethernet interface to achieve real-time monitoring of the actual forming angle of the rectangular welded pipe. It also interacts with the tilt sensor group 500 and the servo motor controller 700 in real time through a physical interface to exchange sensor data and control commands, thereby achieving precise roll position adjustment.

[0102] The vision acquisition system 300 consists of independent vision acquisition units composed of several line lasers 301 and industrial cameras 302. Each vision acquisition unit is arranged along the bearing beam of the profile support 400 after each forming pass 601, and its number is equal to the number of forming passes 601.

[0103] Specifically, a communication link is established between the industrial camera 302 and the host computer 100 via a gigabit Ethernet interface.

[0104] Specifically, when traditional fixed-wavelength lasers are used to detect highly reflective metals such as stainless steel or dark oxide surfaces, they are prone to overexposure of stripes or collapse of the signal-to-noise ratio, resulting in failure of contour extraction. Therefore, a line laser 301 should be configured according to the spectral reflectance characteristics of the material.

[0105] Specifically, adjust the position of the load-bearing beam of the profile bracket 400 to ensure that the field of view of the industrial camera 302 installed on the beam completely covers the outline of the sheet metal.

[0106] The roll bending unit 600 consists of a flat roll guide pass 602 equipped with a roll position adjustment device 200 and sequentially arranged forming passes 601. Specifically, the roll position adjustment device 200 is installed at the top of the archway cover 005 and consists of a servo motor 007, an orthogonally meshed drive bevel gear 015, and a driven bevel gear 016. The output shaft 014 of the servo motor drives the drive bevel gear 015 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven bevel gear 016 through a 90° orthogonal transmission. The driven bevel gear 016 has an internal thread machined in its center, forming a precision thread pair with the vertically installed adjusting screw 008. When the driven bevel gear 016 rotates, it generates relative rotation through the threaded engagement with the adjusting screw 008, converting the horizontal rotational motion into the vertical displacement of the adjusting screw 008. This drives the upper bearing boxes 011 on both sides of the upper roll 001 to rise and fall synchronously within the guide groove of the archway 004, achieving precise roll position adjustment.

[0107] Specifically, the outer surface of the hub of the driven bevel gear 016 and the inner hole of the pressure ring 017 are both machined with mating threads. The two are screwed together to form a threaded pair, realizing the axial locking and fixation of the driven bevel gear 016 and the thrust ball bearing 018. At the same time, the driving bevel gear 015 is rigidly connected to the output shaft 014 of the servo motor through the fixed bushing 013.

[0108] Specifically, each of the two archway pressure caps 005 of the 600 roller bending unit is equipped with a set of roller position adjustment devices 200 at the top of each pass.

[0109] Specifically, the two servo motors 007 in each pass are connected to the same servo motor controller 700, and communicate with the servo motor controller 700 through the host computer 100 to control the roller position adjustment.

[0110] The tilt sensor group 500 is centered and fastened to the central axis of the tilt sensor base 003 by the tilt sensor fixing screw 009, ensuring that the measurement reference coincides with the symmetry plane of the roller system.

[0111] Specifically, the tilt sensor base 003 is fastened to the top of the two upper bearing boxes 011 on the same side of each pass by the base fixing screw 010.

[0112] A method for using an online feedback adjustment system for the position of a rectangular welded pipe roll bending forming roller, comprising the following steps:

[0113] Step 1: According to the roller pattern, the operator sequentially adjusts the theoretical forming angle for each pass. The data is input to the host computer 100, which then calculates the theoretical forming angle for each pass. The height of the upper roll 001 in the roll bending forming assembly for the corresponding pass is pre-adjusted by the roll position adjustment device 200.

[0114] Step 2: Start the sheet material threading process and collect the actual forming contour curve and laser line contour point cloud data for each pass through several vision acquisition units of the vision acquisition system 300.

[0115] The host computer 100 obtains a point cloud map based on the actual forming contour curve and laser line contour point cloud reconstruction map for each pass, and calculates the actual forming angle based on the point cloud map. ;

[0116] Step 3: The host computer calculates the theoretical forming angle for each pass. and actual forming angle The difference is obtained from the angle difference. ;

[0117] Based on the angle difference Obtain the roller position adjustment distance And adjust the distance according to the roller position. Use the roller position adjustment device 200 to adjust the position of the corresponding upper roller 001;

[0118] Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the angle difference is reached. The absolute value is less than or equal to the set threshold;

[0119] Step 5: Begin production and periodically record the angle difference. When the angle difference If the absolute value is greater than the set threshold, repeat step four until the angle difference is greater than the threshold value. The absolute value is less than or equal to the set threshold.

[0120] See Figure 6 Please refer to the following steps for details:

[0121] S1. The operator starts the host computer 100, industrial camera 302 and line laser 301 in sequence to ensure that the industrial camera 302 and the host computer 100 are successfully connected.

[0122] S2. The operator inputs the forming angle of the theoretical contour curve for each pass in the roller pattern into the host computer 100.

[0123] Specifically, according to the roll pattern, the theoretical profile curve of the rectangular welded pipe has several bends in each pass. The operator sequentially assigns the theoretical forming angles corresponding to all the bends. Input into host computer 100;

[0124] S3. Start the sheet material threading process. The host computer 100 displays in real time the actual forming contour curve of each pass monitored by the industrial camera 302 and the laser line contour point cloud reconstruction map after image processing.

[0125] Specifically, the laser line is first separated from the background by color thresholding, then the image is denoised, then the segmented image is skeletonized to compress the laser line into a center line with a width of one pixel, and finally the laser line contour point cloud reconstruction image is obtained by extracting continuous pixels on the skeleton line.

[0126] S4. The host computer 100 calculates the actual forming angle for each pass based on the laser point cloud data after image processing.

[0127] S5, The host computer 100 calculates the roller adjustment distance based on the difference between the theoretical forming angle and the actual forming angle. This then sends a signal to the servo motor controller 700, controlling the roller position adjustment device 200 to start working.

[0128] S6. During the roller position adjustment process, the host computer 100 receives in real time the tilt angle value monitored by the tilt angle sensor group 500 installed in the middle of the upper bearing housing 011 on both the left and right sides, and dynamically compensates the roller position adjustment distance accordingly. .

[0129] S7. Repeat steps S3-S6 until the absolute value of the angle difference is less than or equal to the set threshold, then lock the current roller position and complete the online feedback adjustment of the sheet material threading roller position.

[0130] S8. After the sheet metal is threaded, continuous production of rectangular welded pipes begins, with the forming angle of the actual contour curve monitored in real time during the forming process.

[0131] S9. By comparing the calculation with the theoretical value, if the absolute value of the difference is greater than the set threshold, repeat S5-S6 until the absolute value of the difference is less than or equal to the set threshold, complete the online feedback adjustment of the roller position during the forming process, and generate the process deviation log for this batch.

[0132] As an optional implementation method, the actual forming angle The steps to obtain it are as follows:

[0133] Fit the straight edge portion of the point cloud image and calculate the angle between two straight edge portions.

[0134] As an optional implementation, calculating the included angle includes the following steps:

[0135] Step 1: Define the fitted lines for the two straight sides as follows: and A coordinate system is established with the top-left vertex of the point cloud as the origin, the horizontal direction to the right of the point cloud as the positive x-axis, and the vertical direction upward of the point cloud as the positive y-axis. The equations of the two fitted lines are obtained by fitting them using the least squares method:

[0136] ;

[0137] in, and These are the slopes of the two lines, respectively. and These are the intercepts, which are the points where the two fitted lines intersect at the y-axis, and x is...
