Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to laser deposition acoustic signal processing technology, and more particularly to an online noise reduction method and system for laser deposition acoustic signals based on dynamic adaptive filtering. Background Technology
[0002] Laser-directed energy deposition (LDED) technology, a key branch of metal additive manufacturing, has been widely used in aerospace, high-end equipment, and other fields due to its ability to efficiently form complex components. This process relies on real-time monitoring of the acoustic emission signal from the molten pool to assess the forming quality (typical defect characteristic frequencies are concentrated in the 10-15kHz range). However, in actual operating conditions, the acoustic signal is severely contaminated: mechanical vibrations of the joints during multi-axis robot operation generate low-frequency interference of 200-800Hz, especially causing sudden changes in noise amplitude during path turns and speed changes; simultaneously, the continuous impact of the metal powder flow on the molten pool or substrate generates 2-5kHz broadband white noise, whose spectral energy overlaps with the key acoustic characteristic frequency bands of the molten pool, causing interference. Furthermore, fluctuations in the powder feed airflow and environmental vibrations further degrade the signal-to-noise ratio, leading to a decrease in the accuracy of molten pool condition identification.
[0003] Existing noise reduction technologies generally employ a single filter architecture (such as a fixed band-stop filter or a general adaptive filter), which has inherent technical limitations. Because they fail to decouple the time-frequency characteristics of mechanical vibration noise and powder impact noise, traditional methods mistakenly suppress the 10-15kHz characteristic frequency band of the molten pool during noise filtering, resulting in a measured signal distortion rate exceeding 30%. Furthermore, most methods use fixed-parameter filtering, leading to an inability to respond in real-time to sudden increases in mechanical vibration energy that could cause false triggering of the monitoring system during dynamic path execution. Existing technologies also lack effective suppression capabilities for powder impact noise, which exhibits non-stationary characteristics. These bottlenecks restrict the application of LDED technology in high-reliability fields. Summary of the Invention

[0065] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0066] Example 1
[0067] This invention provides an online noise reduction method for laser-deposited acoustic signals based on dynamic adaptive filtering, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:
[0068] (1) Acquire the original acoustic signals during the laser directional energy deposition process.
[0069] Among them, the acquisition of the original acoustic signal can be achieved through... Figure 2The acoustic signal acquisition subsystem shown includes a laser generator 1, a control system 2, a three-axis robotic arm 3, an inert gas supply device 4, a forming base 5, a directional microphone 6, a data acquisition card 7, and a powder conveying mechanism 8. The laser generator 1 is positioned above the forming base 5. The control system 2 is connected to both the laser generator 1 and the three-axis robotic arm 3. The laser generator 1 is connected to the powder conveying mechanism 8 to achieve photo-powder coupling. The inert gas supply device 4 is connected to the powder conveying mechanism 8. The directional microphone 6 is fixed to the side of the forming base 5 for acquiring acoustic signals and is connected to the data acquisition card 7.
[0070] During data acquisition, the control system 2 drives the three-axis robotic arm 3 to move according to the preset processing path (G-code), simultaneously controlling the laser generator 1 to emit a laser beam, and synchronously controlling the powder conveying mechanism 8 to transport metal powder to the molten pool area through the airflow provided by the inert gas supply device 4. A directional microphone 6 collects acoustic signals generated near the molten pool in real time, including acoustic emission from the molten pool, mechanical vibration noise, and powder impact noise. The collected analog acoustic signals are converted into digital signals via analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) using a data acquisition card 7. In this embodiment, the laser power is kept constant at 900W and the scanning speed at 9mm / s. By changing the process path, signal acquisition experiments are conducted under stable cladding and corner cladding process conditions. The experimental material is 316L stainless steel powder, the laser spot diameter is 2mm, and the powder feed rate is 7-8g / min. The collected acoustic signals are sound pressure data, mainly acquired using LabVIEW's DAQ module with a sampling frequency of X. The sound pressure data is saved as a TDMS file. By fully leveraging existing experience in laser additive manufacturing and the advantages of TDMS files—high speed, easy access, and convenience—we can manufacture acoustic signals generated under different process paths using the same process parameters and acquire them in real time.
[0071] (2) Dynamic prediction of process road: Based on the laser deposition path, the path features are extracted, and the main frequency of mechanical vibration noise and the path risk coefficient are determined based on the path features.
[0072] Step (2) specifically includes:
[0073] (2.1) Obtain the laser deposition path, which includes the coordinates and motion speed at each time.
[0074] The laser deposition path is typically a sequence of G-codes or similar motion instructions, containing Cartesian coordinates (X, Y, Z) at each timestamp and motion velocity parameters.
[0075] (2.2) Extract path features based on the coordinates and movement speed at each time point. The path features are path types.

[0083]
[0084] R represents the path risk coefficient.
[0085] The following steps involve noise characteristic analysis and channel scheduling, specifically steps (3) to (6).
[0086] (3) Obtain the powder flow rate of laser deposition at the current moment, and calculate the powder impact noise frequency band and dynamic powder impact noise mask based on the powder flow rate.
[0087] Step (3) specifically includes:
[0088] (3.1) Obtain the current powder flow rate of laser deposition, and calculate the center frequency of powder impact noise based on the powder flow rate; wherein, the powder flow rate is specifically the powder flow rate at point 8 of the powder conveying mechanism, which can be measured by a flow meter; the center frequency of powder impact noise can be calculated according to the following formula:
[0089] B n (Q) = 150 × Q + 2500
[0090] Where Q is the powder flow rate (g / min), 150 is the proportionality coefficient (Hz·min / g), and 2500 is the basic bandwidth (Hz).
[0091] (3.2) The frequency band of powder impact noise is determined according to the center frequency of powder impact noise using the following formula;
[0092] Powder impact noise frequency band = [B n(Q)-500,B n (Q)+500]HZ;
[0093] For example, when Q = 8 g / min, B n If (Q) = 3700Hz, then the frequency band of powder impact noise is 3200-4200Hz.
[0094] (3.3) The dynamic powder impact noise mask is determined according to the following formula based on the center frequency of the powder impact noise:
[0095]
[0096] In the formula, η(Q) is the dynamic powder impact noise mask.
[0097] (4) When the path risk coefficient is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, set the basic weight to the preset weight; otherwise, execute step (5). Specifically, the preset threshold can be set to 1.0, and when the path risk coefficient R≥1.0, the basic weight α=0.8 is set.
[0098] (5) Based on the signals in the original acoustic signal located in the main frequency band of mechanical vibration noise, the frequency band of powder impact noise and the frequency band of molten pool sound, calculate the signal-to-noise ratio of mechanical vibration noise and the signal-to-noise ratio of powder impact noise, and use the proportion of mechanical vibration noise signal-to-noise ratio in the total signal-to-noise ratio as the basic weight.
[0099] Step (5) specifically includes:
[0100] (5.1) Extract the signal located in the main frequency band of mechanical vibration noise from the original acoustic signal and calculate the mechanical vibration noise power;
[0101] The dominant frequency band of mechanical vibration noise is [200, 800 Hz], therefore the specific formula for calculating the power of mechanical vibration noise is:
[0102]
[0103] In the formula, S(f) represents the mechanical vibration noise power, S(f) represents the FFT spectrum of the original acoustic signal, f represents the frequency, and N represents the number of sampling points in that frequency band.
[0104] (5.2) Extract the signal located in the frequency band of powder impact noise from the original acoustic signal and calculate the powder impact noise power;
[0105] The frequency band of powder impact noise is determined by the center frequency of powder impact noise, and the formula for calculating powder impact noise power is:
[0106]
[0107] In the formula, denoted as powder impact noise power, and M as the number of sampling points in this frequency band.
[0108] (5.3) Extract the signal located in the molten pool acoustic frequency band from the original acoustic signal and calculate the molten pool acoustic signal power;
[0109] The acoustic frequency band of the molten pool is 10-15kHz; therefore, the formula for calculating the acoustic signal power of the molten pool is:
[0110]
[0111] In the formula, P sig Where is the power of the acoustic signal in the molten pool, and K is the number of sampling points in this frequency band.

[0113] Mechanical vibration noise signal-to-noise ratio:
[0114] Powder impact noise signal-to-noise ratio:
[0115] (5.5) Calculate the weight of the mechanical vibration noise signal-to-noise ratio in the sum of the mechanical vibration noise signal-to-noise ratio and the powder impact noise signal-to-noise ratio, and use it as the basic weight.
[0116]
[0117] α is the base weight.
[0118] (6) Compensate the basic weights according to the path risk coefficient to generate vibration channel weights.
[0119] Specifically, the mechanical vibration noise weight can be generated according to the following formula:
[0120] α final = a + bR + c(α - d)
[0121] In the formula, α final The values represent the mechanical vibration noise weights, where a, b, c, and d are compensation coefficients, R is the path risk coefficient, and α is the base weight.
[0122] In practical applications, α can be set. final =0.6+0.2R+0.2(α-0.5).
[0123] (7) Remove the mechanical vibration noise component from the original acoustic signal and perform bandpass filtering on the remaining signal in the molten pool acoustic band to obtain the first signal.
[0124] Step (7) specifically includes:
[0125] (7.1) Perform EMD intrinsic mode decomposition on the original acoustic signal and extract the intrinsic mode components where the mechanical vibration noise is located;
[0126] Among them, EMD intrinsic mode decomposition is performed on the original acoustic signal:
[0127]
[0128] y(t) is the original acoustic signal, IMF k (t) represents the k-th IMF intrinsic mode component, r s (t) is the residual component. The mechanical vibration noise component is determined by the dominant frequency of the mechanical vibration noise, for example... 300, 400, and 600 Hz correspond to IMF3, IMF4, and IMF5 respectively. The corresponding component is taken as the intrinsic mode component (IMF) of mechanical vibration noise. vib .
[0129] (7.2) Remove the intrinsic mode components containing mechanical vibration noise from the original acoustic signal:
[0130] x(t)=y(t)-∑IMF vib
[0131] (7.3) The remaining signal is bandpass filtered in the molten pool acoustic frequency band to obtain the first signal:
[0132] s vib (t)=BPF(x(t); f c ±Δf=10kHz±2.5kHz)
[0133] s vib (t) represents the first signal, specifically as follows: Figure 3 As shown, BPF represents bandpass filtering.
[0134] (8) Obtain the time spectrum of the original acoustic signal, generate a time-frequency mask based on the dynamic powder impact noise mask, suppress the powder impact noise in the time spectrum using the time-frequency mask, transform it to the time domain, and use it as the second signal.
[0135] Step (8) specifically includes:

[0137] (8.2) Based on the dynamic powder impact noise mask, the time-frequency mask is calculated according to the following formula:
[0138]
[0139] In the formula, M(t,f) is the time-frequency mask, η(Q) is the powder impact noise mask, and S(t,f) is the time spectrum;

[0142] (9) The first signal and the second signal are weighted and fused by the vibration channel weight to obtain the denoised and reconstructed molten pool acoustic signal.
[0143] s out (t)=α final s vib (t)+(1-α final )·s powder (t)
[0144] In the formula, s out (t) represents the denoised and reconstructed molten pool acoustic signal, such as Figure 5 As shown, α final This indicates the weight of the vibration channel.
[0145] To further illustrate the superiority of this method, such as Figure 3 As shown, the original signal is an acoustic signal collected under stable cladding conditions. The signal characteristics fluctuate steadily, with an amplitude between 0.3 and 0.5. After processing, the signal curve is smoothed, and the amplitude is between 0.2 and 0.3. This patent reduces the noise of the original signal by 40% while retaining 92% of its characteristics. Figure 4 As shown, the original signal is an acoustic signal collected under corner cladding, characterized by severe jitter and spikes > 0.8. After processing, the signal fluctuation is stabilized, with an amplitude of 0.25 ± 0.05. This patent reduces the abnormality of the original signal by 70%. It can be seen that the original signal achieves a significant noise reduction effect through the method of this invention.
