Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of steel processing, and in particular to an automatic processing method for plate samples. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of steel production, steel sample processing is a crucial component. With the development of automation technology, sample processing is also moving towards automation. For example, patent publication number CN 116973194A describes an automated processing system and method for stainless steel and carbon steel tensile test specimens. This system includes an application server and a web server. The application server communicates with the upper-level L2 system to obtain stainless steel and carbon steel sample processing information; the web server provides users with access to and operation of the centralized control system via a browser; field devices perform sample identification, transportation, cutting, marking, and tensile operations; and a switch connects to the application server, the field devices, and the web server. The centralized control system acquires the real-time status of the processing and transportation equipment, achieving full automation of the stainless steel and carbon steel tensile test specimen processing process and automatically scheduling equipment to complete various sample processing tasks.

[0003] Although the automated sample processing method disclosed in the above patent can achieve automation, it still requires manual sample inspection and marking, rough processing by a saw, large sample processing volume, difficulty in ensuring the accuracy of marking and sawing precision, high workload and low processing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an automatic processing method for plate samples. This method uses a mobile phone-based intelligent sample inspection system combined with a fully automatic laser cutting system to achieve automated sample identification, marking, and rough processing.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an automatic processing method for plate samples, the method comprising a sample inspection process and a processing process; wherein:

[0006] The sample inspection process includes: generating a QR code based on the sample processing entrustment information, entering the query code via mobile phone to inspect the sample, and then proceeding to the processing process after the sample inspection is completed.

[0007] The processing flow includes: processing the sample by automatically recognizing the QR code through the laser cutting system according to the processing entrustment information.

[0008] The submitting unit entrusts the processing information in the quality system and sends it to the LIMS system. The LIMS system generates mobile phone verification information based on the processing information, and at the same time generates and prints out a QR code. During the mobile phone verification process, the query code is entered through the mobile phone and the verification program is called to accept the sample. After the verification information is displayed, the corresponding QR code is affixed to the designated area of ​​the sample. After the verification is completed, the sample is transported to the processing station by a test cart.

[0009] After entering the query code on a mobile phone, the processing information of the submitted sample is obtained. The submitted sample is then compared with the generated mobile phone sample inspection information to determine whether the inspection is completed.

[0010] The samples are marked in the mobile phone sampling program. Samples that have completed the sampling are displayed using color markings and the marking information is synchronized to the LIMS system. The LIMS system then classifies and displays the samples according to the sampling completion status.

[0011] After entering the query code on the mobile phone, the sample inspection program is invoked. The last four digits of the sample number are entered through voice recognition or manual input to query the commissioned processing information. Then, the sample information is compared with the sample inspection information on the mobile phone to determine whether the sample inspection is completed.

[0012] In the sample processing flow, the sample is transported to the laser cutting loading station. The cutting machine receives the cutting information instruction, moves the loading robot to the top of the sample carriage to read the QR code information, grabs the sample and places it on the incoming material identification platform. The incoming material identification platform determines the placement angle, length and width of the sample to be cut through laser scanning vision recognition, measures the thickness and determines the sample information and processing information through barcode recognition. After confirming that the information is correct, the laser marking head moves to the top of the sample and marks the sample number on the sample to be cut in sequence according to the entrustment information.

[0013] Then, based on the production line for processing the samples, the width of the cutting table is adjusted. The robotic arm places the marked samples onto the cutting platform bracket with the pre-adjusted width, and the sample curves towards the upper surface. According to the corresponding requirements such as the entrusted test items, sampling location, direction, and quantity, the robot automatically completes the matching of sample shape, size, and position information, calls the database and cutting patterns, automatically matches and generates cutting instructions, and completes the cutting tasks of different samples.

[0014] The laser cutting machine moves the cutting head to the designated position above the template and cuts the pre-set samples one by one. After the samples are cut, they fall onto the conveyor belt below the template and are carried by the conveyor belt to the collection box at the back of the laser cutting machine.

[0015] A feeding cylinder is provided on the side of the laser cutting platform cutting head. The feeding cylinder is configured to allow movement above the sample. After each cut, the feeding cylinder is moved above the sample cutting position, and the moving axis of the feeding cylinder is controlled to extend and retract downward to knock the sample off.

[0016] The loading robot on the laser cutting platform picks up the cut residue and places it in the waste box, waiting for the next sample cutting to begin.

[0017] The LIMS system generates a stamp number, which is then sent to the cutting system along with the processing information. The cutting system then marks and identifies the parts according to the stamp number.

[0018] The advantages of this invention are: by combining mobile phone intelligent sample inspection with a fully automatic laser cutting system, automated sample identification, marking and rough processing are achieved; processing efficiency is improved and labor intensity is reduced.

[0021] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the laser cutting process of this invention. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the description of the preferred embodiments.

[0023] This implementation provides an automated sample processing method for sheet metal. By combining mobile phone sample inspection with automated laser cutting, it achieves automated and rapid sample processing, improving efficiency. The method utilizes the enterprise's internal LIMS system, quality system, mobile software, and laser cutting platform to achieve rapid sample processing. The process includes:

[0024] (1) Smart mobile phone sample testing

[0025] The processing operators generate and print QR codes based on the entrustment information in the LIMS system, and simultaneously generate mobile phone verification information such as steel stamp number, sample number, grade, specifications, and test items. A dedicated verification program is developed. After logging in and opening the verification program on a mobile phone, the operator can query the verification information, such as the steel stamp number, by voice recognition or by entering the last four digits of the sample number. The corresponding QR code is then affixed to the sample as required. The verification program is designed with a verification marking function. When the verification is completed, it can be marked in red. The marking information is synchronized to the LIMS system. The operator can query and confirm the correspondence between the system entrustment and the physical acceptance on the LIMS system's sample registration interface, and the mobile phone verification ends.

[0026] (2) Process parameters and control

[0027] ① The CNC software for the laser cutting system integrates template positioning, laser cutting system, blanking system, and sample collection control. It has communication capabilities with a host computer and can continuously and automatically cut samples based on template information and host computer instructions. The software interfaces with the LIMS system, sending sample information (roll number, plate width, thickness, sampling position, orientation, etc.) to the laser cutting control system. The control system receives the template information and marks the small samples to be cut with serial numbers and other information. Based on the template and host computer information, test items, sampling locations, sample size and quantity requirements, the system automatically generates a cutting pattern, and the laser head automatically focuses and cuts the template.

[0028] ② The laser cutting host integrates core components and devices such as the gantry beam running mechanism, guide rails, limit switches, control system, laser, and cutting head. It uses a laser cutting head with a cutting nozzle; the laser cutting head is a fiber laser cutter, and the cutting nozzle has a tapered end with a small round hole.

[0029] ③ The cutting platform bracket adopts a bracket-type, electrically driven, single-sided adjustable sample width design. It relies on variable support clamps to support samples of different specifications, using a single-sided fixed design and electrically driven movement of the other side to adapt to changes in sample width. Both sides of the platform bracket support a certain width of material plate according to actual measurements, ensuring the sample does not fall off during cutting. A material drop baffle is installed below the platform, made of smooth steel plate, synchronized with the laser cutting machine. When not in use, it is perpendicular to the bottom of the platform bracket. The lifting conditions are determined based on the cutting allowance. When in use, the lifting angle is 45 degrees, driven quickly by compressed air pneumatic power, ensuring the sample is guided and slides onto the steel conveyor belt after falling. Additionally, to ensure normal sample drop, a feeding cylinder is installed on the side of the laser cutting head. The feeding cylinder provides downward pressure via compressed air. After each cut, the feeding cylinder moves directly above the sample cutting position and strikes and presses down on the sample, causing any samples that did not fall normally to drop due to external force.

[0030] ④ Before cutting the steel plate with a laser processing head, ensure that the cutting parameters correspond to the plate thickness and mark the coordinates to guarantee that the laser processing head's travel edge is within the plate's range. The cutting gas system uses an integrated high-pressure proportional valve for control, and oxygen is used for cutting. The cutting path follows the cutting pattern, and laser pulse piercing mode is used for cutting (1mm thickness, no piercing; 2-3mm, first-level piercing; 4-11mm, second-level piercing; 12-19mm, third-level piercing; 20-25mm, fourth-level piercing). The laser power, duration, oxygen pressure, focal height, and piercing height parameters for each piercing level are related to the steel plate thickness. Oxygen is used as an auxiliary gas during piercing. During cutting, the laser power, cutting speed, focal height, and other process parameters depend on the steel plate thickness. The laser power is 800-11000W, the cutting speed is 15000-650mm / min, and the focal height is 4.0-8.8mm.

[0031] This embodiment provides an automated processing method for plate samples, the method comprising a sample inspection process and a processing process; wherein:

[0032] The sample inspection process includes: generating a QR code based on the sample processing entrustment information, entering the query code via mobile phone to inspect the sample, and then proceeding to the processing process after the sample inspection is completed.

[0033] The processing flow includes: processing the sample by automatically recognizing the QR code through the laser cutting system according to the processing entrustment information.

[0034] During the sample inspection process, the submitting unit entrusts the processing information in the LIMS system through the quality system and generates and prints a QR code based on the processing information, while simultaneously generating mobile phone sample inspection information; the mobile phone sample inspection information includes the stamp number, sample number, grade, specifications, test items, etc.

[0035] During the sample inspection process, the query code is entered via mobile phone and the sample inspection program is invoked to inspect the sample. The QR code is then affixed to the designated area of ​​the sample. After the inspection is completed, the sample is transported to the processing station via a sample trolley.

[0036] The process of sample verification via mobile phone includes: entering a query code on the phone to launch the verification program; the program accesses the LIMS system to obtain processing information using the query code; and compares the obtained processing information with the sample information to confirm verification. The verification program provides an information input interface where users can enter the query code. Based on the query code, the program retrieves the processing information commissioned by the submitting unit and compares it with the sample information to determine whether verification is complete. The query code can be entered via voice recognition or by entering the last four digits of the sample number. This allows for verification via mobile phone. After entering the query code on the phone, the verification program is launched to retrieve the commissioned processing information, and then compared with the sample information to determine whether verification is complete.

[0037] Furthermore, in order to monitor the testing, the samples are marked in the mobile testing program. The completed samples are displayed using color markings and the marking information is synchronized to the LIMS system. The testing results are read from the mobile phone by the LIMS system to mark the sample information in the LIMS system. The LIMS system classifies and displays the samples according to the completion status of the testing.

[0038] In the sample processing flow, the sample is transported to the laser cutting loading station. The cutting machine receives the cutting information instruction, moves the loading robot to the top of the sample carriage to read the QR code information, grabs the sample and places it on the incoming material identification platform. The incoming material identification platform determines the placement angle, length and width of the sample to be cut through laser scanning vision recognition, measures the thickness and determines the sample information and processing information through barcode recognition. After confirming that the information is correct, the laser marking head moves to the top of the sample and marks the sample number on the sample to be cut in sequence according to the entrustment information.

[0039] Then, based on the production line for processing the samples, the width of the cutting table is adjusted. The robotic arm places the marked samples onto the cutting platform bracket with the pre-adjusted width, and the sample curves towards the upper surface. According to the corresponding requirements such as the entrusted test items, sampling location, direction, and quantity, the robot automatically completes the matching of sample shape, size, and position information, calls the database and cutting patterns, automatically matches and generates cutting instructions, and completes the cutting tasks of different samples.

[0040] The laser cutting machine moves the cutting head to the designated position above the template and cuts the pre-set samples one by one. After the samples are cut, they fall onto the conveyor belt below the template and are carried by the conveyor belt to the collection box at the back of the laser cutting machine.

[0041] A feeding cylinder is installed on the side of the laser cutting platform's cutting head. This cylinder is configured to move above the sample. After each cut, the feeding cylinder moves above the sample cutting position, and its downward extension / retraction is controlled to strike the sample, causing it to detach. After laser cutting, slight adhesion between samples may prevent them from falling off. Therefore, the feeding cylinder is necessary. A conveyor belt is installed below the sample cutting position, and the cut sample falls onto the conveyor belt for subsequent transport. To ensure accurate and rapid sample detachment after each cut, the feeding cylinder moves to the cutting position after cutting, and its extension / retraction cylinder strikes the sample, causing it to detach and reducing cutting efficiency issues caused by samples failing to detach during the cutting process.

[0042] After the cutting is completed, the remaining part of the board is considered waste. The waste needs to be processed accordingly. The loading robot on the laser cutting platform picks up the cut sample and places it in the waste box, waiting for the next sample cutting to begin. After the next cutting begins, a new cutting process will be carried out.

[0043] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the reliability and accuracy of various data during the sample processing, the sample is uniformly identified. The LIMS system first generates a steel stamp number and then sends the information to the cutting system. The cutting system marks the sample according to the steel stamp number to ensure the consistency of the identification between the two systems and to make the sample orderly and separable.

[0044] This solution utilizes a mobile phone-based intelligent sample inspection system and a fully automated laser cutting system to identify, mark, and roughly process sheet metal samples. It is primarily used for processing medium and thick plates with a thickness ≤25mm, as well as hot-rolled coils, and is suitable for the rough preparation of samples for tensile, impact, metallographic, hardness, drop weight, composition, and Z-axis measurements.

[0045] (1) Process flow

[0046] ① The processing operator generates and prints a QR code based on the entrustment information in the LIMS system, and simultaneously generates mobile phone verification information such as steel stamp number, sample number, grade, specifications, and test items. A dedicated verification program is developed. After logging in and opening the verification program on a mobile phone, the operator can query the verification information, such as the steel stamp number, by voice recognition or by entering the last four digits of the test number. The corresponding QR code is then affixed to the sample as required. The verification program is designed with a verification marking function. Upon completion of verification, a red mark is made, and the marking information is synchronized to the LIMS system. After verification, the operator can query and confirm the correspondence between the system entrustment and the physical acceptance on the LIMS system's sample registration interface, and the mobile phone verification ends. The sample with the affixed code is placed on the sample carriage as required, and the sample carriage with the sample loaded is manually pushed to the laser cutting loading station.

[0047] ② The cutting machine receives the cutting information instruction, moves the feeding robot to the top of the sample carriage to read the QR code information, grabs the sample and places it on the incoming material recognition platform.

[0048] ③ The incoming material identification platform uses laser scanning vision to determine the placement angle, length, and width of the sample to be cut, measures the thickness, and identifies the sample information and processing information by scanning the code.

[0049] ④ After confirming that everything is correct, the laser marking head moves above the sample and marks the sample number on the sample to be cut in sequence according to the commission information.

[0050] ⑤ Adjust the width of the cutting table according to the production line processing the sample. The robotic arm places the marked sample onto the pre-adjusted cutting platform bracket, with the sample's curvature facing upwards. The system automatically matches the sample's shape, size, and position information according to the entrusted test items, sampling location, direction, quantity, and other corresponding requirements, and calls up the database and cutting patterns to automatically generate cutting instructions, quickly completing the cutting tasks of different samples.

[0051] ⑥ The laser cutting machine moves the cutting head to the designated position above the sample and cuts the pre-set samples one by one. After each cut, the sample falls onto the steel conveyor belt.

[0052] ⑦ The steel conveyor belt carrying the sample runs to the back of the laser cutting machine and is automatically fed into the collection box, where the sample is then manually removed.

[0053] ⑧ The loading robot removes the cut residue and places it in the waste bin, then begins the next cycle. See details in the documentation. Figure 1 , Figure 2 .

[0054] (2) Process parameters and control:

[0055] ① The CNC software for the laser cutting system integrates template positioning, laser cutting system, blanking system, and sample collection control. It has communication capabilities with a host computer and can continuously and automatically cut samples based on template information and host computer instructions. The software interfaces with the LIMS system, sending sample information (roll number, plate width, thickness, sampling position, orientation, etc.) to the laser cutting control system. The control system receives the template information and marks the small samples to be cut with serial numbers and other information. Based on the template and host computer information, test items, sampling locations, sample size and quantity requirements, the system automatically generates a cutting pattern, and the laser head automatically focuses and cuts the template.

[0056] ② The laser cutting main unit integrates core components and devices such as the gantry beam running mechanism, guide rails, limit switches, control system, laser, and cutting head. It uses a laser cutting head with a cutting nozzle; the laser cutting head is a fiber laser cutter, and the cutting nozzle has a tapered end with a small round hole. Figure 2 ).

[0057] ③ The cutting platform bracket adopts a bracket-type, electrically driven, single-sided adjustable sample width design. It relies on variable support clamps to support samples of different specifications, using a single-sided fixed design and electrically driven movement of the other side to adapt to changes in sample width. Both sides of the platform bracket support a certain width of material plate according to actual measurements, ensuring the sample does not fall off during cutting. A material drop baffle is installed below the platform, made of smooth steel plate, synchronized with the laser cutting machine. When not in use, it is perpendicular to the bottom of the platform bracket. The lifting conditions are determined based on the cutting allowance. When in use, the lifting angle is 45 degrees, driven quickly by compressed air pneumatic power, ensuring the sample is guided and slides onto the steel conveyor belt after falling. Additionally, to ensure normal sample drop, a feeding cylinder is installed on the side of the laser cutting head. The feeding cylinder provides downward pressure via compressed air. After each cut, the feeding cylinder moves directly above the sample cutting position and strikes and presses down on the sample, causing any samples that did not fall normally to drop due to external force.

[0058] ④ Before cutting the steel plate with a laser processing head, ensure that the cutting parameters correspond to the plate thickness and mark the coordinates to guarantee that the laser processing head's travel edge is within the plate's range. The cutting gas system uses an integrated high-pressure proportional valve for control, and oxygen is used for cutting. The cutting path follows the cutting pattern, and laser pulse piercing mode is used for cutting (1mm thickness, no piercing; 2-3mm, first-level piercing; 4-11mm, second-level piercing; 12-19mm, third-level piercing; 20-25mm, fourth-level piercing). The laser power, duration, oxygen pressure, focal height, and piercing height parameters for each piercing level are related to the steel plate thickness. Oxygen is used as an auxiliary gas during piercing. During cutting, the laser power, cutting speed, focal height, and other process parameters depend on the steel plate thickness. The laser power is 800-11000W, the cutting speed is 15000-650mm / min, and the focal height is 4.0-8.6mm.

[0059] ⑤ A water chiller is used for cooling to ensure the laser cutting temperature is maintained and to prevent damage to the laser due to overheating. The water chiller starts and runs synchronously with the laser cutting machine. The slag removal device consists of two sets of grouped receiving boxes, which are used to collect and clean the cutting slag after it is removed, using a push-pull mechanism on the side of the machine tool. The dust removal system uses a side outlet on the laser bed and is connected to an outdoor dust collector through an exhaust duct. It can be used in a centralized dust removal system or for dust removal at the dust generation point. The dust removal system operates intermittently. The dust collector starts automatically when a sample is being cut, and stops automatically after 3 minutes of no sample cutting.

[0060] ⑥ After cutting, the sample falls onto a steel conveyor belt located on one side of the platform bracket. The belt is protected by steel plates to prevent sparks from falling onto the surface during cutting. The steel conveyor belt circulates, transporting the sample to the rear sorting area. The sorting device, located behind the cutting machine, uses fixed boxes to catch the falling samples.

[0061] (3) Signage scheme

[0062] To ensure seamless integration between the cutting system and the LIMS system, samples are uniformly labeled. The LIMS system first generates a stamped number and then sends the information to the cutting system. The cutting system then marks the samples according to the stamped number, ensuring consistency between the two systems and making the samples orderly and separable.

[0063] (4) Cutting the map

[0064] Because the sampling methods and processing and testing requirements for hot-rolled coils, medium plates, and thick plates are different, separate sampling patterns need to be designed for each production line:

[0065] a. Hot-rolled coil diagrams

[0066] Considering that hot-rolled coil tensile test specimens can be sampled in both transverse and longitudinal directions, an overlapping pattern mode is designed to automatically select the cutting position based on the read specimen cutting requirements. In addition to conventional specimens, hot-rolled coils also contain specialized pipeline steel, whose tensile and impact test specimens often require cutting at a 45° angle. Furthermore, pipeline steel often undergoes drop weight testing, requiring two specimens for processing. Therefore, a two-pattern combination mode is specifically designed for pipeline steel: one plate is used for conventional tests, and the other plate is used specifically for drop weight tests.

[0067] b. Medium Plate Diagram

[0068] To ensure the yield of medium plates, the sampling width is generally narrow, requiring the design of long strip patterns. Since the processing width of tensile test specimens in American and Chinese standards is different, two sets of patterns for Chinese and American standards are designed. Furthermore, since the sampling quantities of initial and duplicate samples are inconsistent, duplicate sample patterns are added to cover various types of test specimens.

[0069] c. Thick Plate Atlas

[0070] In addition to the standard samples, thick plates also have A2 reserved sample plates (two sets of samples need to be processed on one plate). Therefore, an A2 reserved sample spectrum is added to the original initial sample and duplicate sample spectrum. If the initial inspection of the A2 reserved sample plate fails, three sets of samples need to be processed for re-inspection, and an A2 reserved duplicate sample spectrum is added. The spectrum also shows special procedures for special treatment of samples with special requirements, covering the processing needs of most samples as much as possible.

[0071] (5) Maintenance of brand and specification markings

[0072] The cutting patterns reveal inconsistencies between pipeline steel and non-pipeline steel patterns in hot-rolled coils across different production lines. Similarly, the patterns for medium plate samples (US standard and non-US standard) differ, and for thick plate samples, the patterns for A2 and standard samples are even more distinct. Furthermore, the blank widths for US standard and non-US standard tensile test samples also differ, and the processing widths for US standard samples (above and below 5mm) also vary (applicable only to hot-rolling lines). The thickness limits for A2 samples also differ for different steel grades. Therefore, the laser cutting control software must accurately identify the sample type. To address this, a steel grade labeling and maintenance interface was designed. Pipeline steel and US standard samples are identified through grade labeling, while A2 samples are identified through grade and specification labeling. The software automatically identifies the sample type based on the labeling and automatically matches the corresponding pattern for cutting. (Specific maintenance mode follows.)

[0073] The technical effects of adopting the above solution include:

[0074] The processing accuracy and efficiency of the samples processed by the fully automated laser cutting system were significantly improved, especially for high-strength steel. For a direct comparison, 100 medium-strength plates and 20 thick wear-resistant steel plates were rough-processed using both fully automated laser cutting and traditional sawing processes. The processing time and dimensions of the samples were recorded, and the results are shown in Table 1. Table 1 shows that the average cutting time per plate for the medium-strength plates was 3 minutes, a reduction of 0.7 minutes compared to the 3.7 minutes of the traditional sawing process, representing a 23.33% increase in efficiency. The processing time for the wear-resistant steel was reduced from 15 minutes per plate to 3 minutes, a direct 4-fold increase in efficiency. In terms of processing accuracy, the maximum dimensional deviation using laser cutting was 0.29 mm, while the maximum deviation using a saw was 1.03 mm, representing an improvement of more than 2 times in processing accuracy.
