The It refers to the gradient amplitude of the i-th pixel point within the molten pool boundary region, obtained by dividing the sum of all gradient values within the molten pool boundary region by the total number of pixels; multiple normal lines are calculated within the selected molten pool boundary region to obtain the average transition zone width value. The higher the value, the softer the molten pool boundary; the average transition zone width value is ; the It refers to the average transition zone width of the molten pool boundary region. For each boundary pixel point, search in both the inner and outer sides of the molten pool along the direction perpendicular to the boundary, i.e., the gradient direction, until the gray value stabilizes (the gray difference from the inside of the molten pool is less than the threshold), and record the number of these pixels, which is the transition zone width of this point; the It refers to the single transition zone width of the i-th pixel point within the molten pool boundary region; if k2 and <m1, that is, the average gradient amplitude is on the high side and the average transition zone width value is on the low side, it is determined that the molten pool boundary is sharp and serrated, and the welding speed is fast. At this time, the speed needs to be reduced, and a slight pause of 0.5 - 1 s can be made for adjustment to ensure sufficient fusion between the molten pool and the base material; if <k1 and >m2, that is, the average gradient amplitude is on the low side and the average transition zone width value is on the high side, it is determined that the molten pool boundary is blurred and the welding speed is slow. At this time, the welding speed needs to be gradually increased by 5 - 10 mm / min each time until the boundary becomes clear; if k1 < <k2 and m1 < <m2, that is, the average gradient amplitude and the average transition zone width value are appropriate, it is determined that the clarity of the molten pool boundary is in a normal state, and the transition with the base material is natural, and it is determined that the heat input and the welding speed are matched; the k1 and k2 respectively refer to the minimum preset threshold and the maximum preset threshold of the average gradient amplitude; m1 and m2 respectively refer to the minimum preset threshold and the maximum preset threshold of the average transition zone width value. The schematic diagram of the molten pool boundary is as Figure 3 shown.
[0005] An aluminum alloy GTAW welding speed detection method based on the detection of the molten pool flow trend captures the three-dimensional morphology of the molten pool through a three-line structured light sensor to identify the molten pool flow trend; the capture of the three-dimensional morphology of the molten pool includes the surface height information of the molten pool, the width information of the molten pool, and the contact angle information of the molten pool tail; the three-line structured light sensor projects three structured lights onto the surface of the molten pool, and the camera synchronously takes pictures of the molten pool image containing the light strips. At the same time, the original molten pool image is processed by the Sobel operator to obtain an accurate molten pool boundary. According to the three-dimensional reconstruction algorithm of structured light, the three-dimensional coordinates of all pixels within the molten pool region framed by the Sobel boundary are calculated, and the height direction is taken as the Z-axis, the welding direction is taken as the Y-axis, and the direction perpendicular to the welding direction is taken as the X-axis; the difference between the highest point of the Z-axis of the molten pool surface image and the reference plane is taken as the maximum height of the molten pool surface, and through obtained; the The maximum height of the molten pool surface. Z is the highest Z-axis coordinate value within the molten pool region, and Z0 is the coordinate value of the base material reference plane. The left and right boundaries of the molten pool are located using the Sobel operator. The distance between two points on the boundary in the perpendicular welding direction is taken as the width. Let the coordinates of the left boundary point of the molten pool be (X...). L The coordinates of the right boundary point are (X,y), R If ,y), then the cross-sectional width W y Through W y = X R X L The contact point between the molten pool tail and the base material in the locating molten pool boundary region is calculated. The angle between the two lines obtained by fitting the molten pool tail surface curve and the base material plane at the contact point is the molten pool tail contact angle. Calculated; the aforementioned The normal vector of the molten pool surface. The normal vector of the base material plane is taken; the average value of the parameters in 10 consecutive frames during the welding stabilization phase is used as the reference value, i.e., B. H B W B θ The aforementioned , , The aforementioned , , This refers to the average height, average width, and average contact angle of the molten pool surface; calculate the current frame parameter H. curr W ycurr θ curr Calculate the difference between it and the benchmark value ΔH=H curr B H ΔW y =W curr B W Δθ=θ curr B θ If ΔH>T H ΔW y >T W Δθ>T θT is a preset threshold. If the condition is met for three consecutive frames, the parameter is increased. Regarding the molten pool flow trend in flat welding, if the system detects an increase in molten pool height and width, and an increase in the contact angle between the molten pool tail and the base material, it is determined that the liquid metal on both sides of the molten pool is contracting towards the center, indicating that the welding speed is too fast and the molten pool is not fully spread. In this case, the welding speed needs to be reduced to allow the liquid metal to flow towards the edges. If the molten pool height increases abnormally, the width narrows, and the molten pool tail protrudes, it is determined that the molten pool is bulging in the middle, indicating that the welding speed is too slow, the molten pool exists for too long, and excessive metal is melting. In this case, the welding speed needs to be increased to avoid weld buildup. The installation details of the three-line structured light sensor in the multi-sensor-based aluminum alloy GTAW simulated welder welding speed control system are as follows... Figure 2 As shown.
[0006] A method for detecting the welding speed of aluminum alloy GTAW (Glass-Only Welder) based on the solidification rate of the molten pool is proposed. This method utilizes a visual sensor to acquire high-frequency images of the molten pool behind it. After preprocessing the images to eliminate interference, an edge detection algorithm is used to locate the molten pool boundary and obtain pixel coordinates. The solidification rate is determined by the change in image grayscale values. The image preprocessing involves removing image noise and enhancing the grayscale difference between the molten pool and the background to ensure clear boundaries. The edge detection algorithm uses the Sobel operator to extract continuous and complete molten pool boundaries. The image grayscale values are obtained using the formula Gray = 0.299*R + 0.587*G + 0.114*B, where R, G, and B represent the brightness values of the red, green, and blue channels, respectively. Higher temperatures result in lower grayscale values. The change in grayscale value per unit time is ΔGray. The unit time refers to the time difference between the molten pool's liquid state and its semi-solidified state. This indicates that the temperature drop per unit time is moderate, and the welding speed is moderate; if This indicates a large temperature drop per unit time and a rapid solidification rate of the molten pool, suggesting that the welding speed is too fast. In this case, the welding speed needs to be reduced to extend the heat input time and prevent incomplete penetration at the weld root. If the temperature drop per unit time is small and the solidification rate of the molten pool is slow, then the welding speed is too slow. In this case, the welding speed needs to be increased to prevent the heat-affected zone from becoming too large.
[0007] A welding speed detection method for aluminum alloy GTAW (Glass Surface Artificial Welding) based on dynamic detection of weld bevel changes is proposed. The dynamic detection of weld bevel changes involves real-time detection of the bevel gap width, utilizing a front-mounted single-line structured light sensor to acquire bevel width information in real time. The dynamic adaptation of bevel changes occurs when the bevel gap width increases. When the weld pool fills the gap, the welding speed needs to be slowed down while increasing the filler wire amount. Once the weld pool has filled the gap, the original welding speed should be resumed to ensure the weld pool fully melts the base material and prevents the weld pool from widening. When the bevel gap decreases... At this time, it is necessary to increase the welding speed and avoid localized pile-up; the aforementioned This refers to the difference between the current actual gap and the reference value. This refers to the preset threshold value representing the difference between the actual gap and the reference value. The diagram illustrating the bevel gap width is shown below. Figure 4 As shown.

This refers to the root mean square value; when At that time, the sound waveform amplitude is uniform, and the welding speed is moderate; when At this time, large amplitude fluctuations and increased high-frequency components indicate that the welding speed is too fast and needs to be slowed down; when When the amplitude fluctuation is small and the overall signal strength is low, it is determined that the welding speed is too slow, and the welding speed needs to be increased and the arc length shortened.

To address this challenge, this invention discloses an installation and setting method for a multi-sensor-based aluminum alloy GTAW welder-simulation welding speed control system. Before welding begins, a vision sensor is installed behind the welding torch, aligned at a certain angle with the molten pool and its tail area, to capture images of the molten pool. A three-line structured light sensor is installed behind the welding torch, aligned with the molten pool area, to project and capture three structured light stripes on the surface of the molten pool. A single-line structured light sensor is installed in front of the welding torch to project a single line of laser light onto the bevel to be welded in real time, measuring the bevel gap. A sound sensor is installed near the welding torch, pointing towards the arc area, to collect arc sound signals. Specific installation details are as follows... Figure 1 As shown. The intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of the vision sensor and structured light sensor are calibrated to determine the transformation relationship between image coordinates and world coordinates. During the stabilization phase at the beginning of welding, the system automatically collects data, calculates and stores the baseline values of various parameters, such as the average height H of the molten pool surface. avg, average width W yavg , average tail contact angle θ avg , root mean square value of arc sound during stable welding and peak factor The empirical ranges. According to aluminum alloy materials, thicknesses, and process tests, thresholds for various criteria are preset, such as k1, k2, m1, m2, T, x1, x2, C1, C2, etc.
[0024] Step 2: Real-time control during welding
[0025] After welding starts, the system enters a closed-loop control cycle of "pre-judgment - fine-tuning - verification". It is necessary to perform real-time multi-sensor synchronous data acquisition.

Analyze the three-dimensional morphology and flow trend of the molten pool, process the three-line structured light image, and calculate the maximum height H curr of the molten pool in the current frame, the width W ycurr of a specific cross-section, and the tail contact angle θ curr . Calculate the differences ΔH, ΔW y , Δθ from the reference values. Judge the flow trend of the molten pool based on the difference trend, and then judge whether the speed is appropriate. Analyze the image of the area behind the molten pool that is in the process of solidification
[0026] Track the change in grayscale value of a specific point or region over time and calculate the absolute value of grayscale change per unit time. ,according to With threshold T Gray1 ,T Gray2 By comparing the solidification rate, the welding speed can be indirectly determined. The centerline of the light stripe is extracted from the light stripe image, and the width of the light stripe at the bevel is calculated, which is the bevel gap width G. w Calculate the difference ΔG between it and the reference gap. w ,and Comparison, specific details as follows Figure 3 As shown, if As shown in Figure (a), the bevel gap is too large, and the welding speed needs to be slowed down; if As shown in Figure (c), the bevel gap is too small, requiring a faster welding speed; the audio signal is filtered and segmented into frames. The root mean square value X of each frame is calculated. rms and peak factor C f According to X rms and C f Whether it is in a stable range determines the stability of the electric arc and the state of heat input.
[0027] Step 3: Multi-information fusion decision-making and speed control

The GTAW robot controller receives the command from the industrial control computer and adjusts the movement speed of its travel axis in real time, changing the movement speed of the welding torch relative to the workpiece. After the speed change, the state of the molten pool changes accordingly, all sensors immediately collect new data, and the next control cycle begins.

The aluminum alloy GTAW welding speed control system based on multiple sensing according to claim 1, characterized in that: A welder speed detection method based on GTAW (Glass Surface Arrangement) for aluminum alloys is used. A three-line structured light sensor captures the three-dimensional morphology of the molten pool to identify its flow trend. The captured 3D morphology includes molten pool surface height, width, and tail contact angle information. The three-line structured light sensor projects three structured beams onto the molten pool surface, while a camera simultaneously captures images of the molten pool including the beams. The original molten pool image is then processed using the Sobel operator to obtain a precise molten pool boundary. Based on a structured light 3D reconstruction algorithm, the 3D coordinates of all pixels within the Sobel-bounded molten pool region are calculated, with the height direction as the Z-axis, the welding direction as the Y-axis, and the perpendicular direction to the welding direction as the X-axis. The difference between the highest point of the Z-axis on the molten pool surface image and the reference plane is taken as the maximum height of the molten pool surface. Obtained; The stated The maximum height of the molten pool surface. Z is the highest Z-axis coordinate value within the molten pool region, and Z0 is the coordinate value of the base material reference plane. The left and right boundaries of the molten pool are located using the Sobel operator. The distance between two points on the boundary in the perpendicular welding direction is taken as the width. Let the coordinates of the left boundary point of the molten pool be (X...). L The coordinates of the right boundary point are (X, y), R If ,y), then the cross-sectional width W y Through W y =X R X L The contact point between the molten pool tail and the base material in the locating molten pool boundary region is calculated. The angle between the two lines obtained by fitting the molten pool tail surface curve and the base material plane at the contact point is the molten pool tail contact angle. Calculated; the aforementioned The normal vector of the molten pool surface. The normal vector of the base material plane is taken; the average value of the parameters in 10 consecutive frames during the welding stabilization phase is used as the reference value, i.e., B. H B W B θ The aforementioned , , The aforementioned , , This refers to the average height, average width, and average contact angle of the molten pool surface; calculate the current frame parameter H. curr W ycurr θ curr Calculate the difference between it and the benchmark value ΔH=H curr B H ΔW y =W curr B W Δθ=θ curr B θ If ΔH>T H ΔW y >T W Δθ>T θ T is a preset threshold. If the condition is met for 3 consecutive frames, the determination parameter is increased. In the flat welding state, if the system detects that the height and width of the molten pool have increased and the contact angle between the tail of the molten pool and the base material has increased, it is determined that the liquid metal on both sides of the molten pool is shrinking towards the middle. That is, it is determined that the welding speed is too fast and the molten pool has not spread sufficiently. At this time, the welding speed needs to be reduced to allow the liquid metal to flow towards the edge. If the height of the molten pool increases abnormally, the width becomes narrower, and the tail of the molten pool protrudes, it is determined that the middle of the molten pool is bulging. That is, it is determined that the welding speed is too slow, the molten pool exists for too long, and the metal is excessively melted. At this time, the welding speed needs to be increased to avoid the weld seam from piling up.

The aluminum alloy GTAW welding speed control system based on multiple sensing according to claim 1, characterized in that: A method for detecting the welding speed of aluminum alloy GTAW (Glass-Only Welder) based on the solidification rate of the molten pool is proposed. This method utilizes a visual sensor to acquire high-frequency images of the molten pool behind it. After preprocessing the images to eliminate interference, an edge detection algorithm is used to locate the molten pool boundary and obtain pixel coordinates. The solidification rate is determined by the change in image grayscale values. The image preprocessing involves removing image noise and enhancing the grayscale difference between the molten pool and the background to ensure clear boundaries. The edge detection algorithm uses the Sobel operator to extract continuous and complete molten pool boundaries. The image grayscale values are obtained using the formula Gray = 0.299*R + 0.587*G + 0.114*B, where R, G, and B represent the brightness values of the red, green, and blue channels, respectively. Higher temperatures result in lower grayscale values. The change in grayscale value per unit time is ΔGray. The unit time refers to the time difference between the molten pool's liquid state and its semi-solidified state. This indicates that the temperature drop per unit time is moderate, and the welding speed is moderate; if This indicates a large temperature drop per unit time and a rapid solidification rate of the molten pool, suggesting that the welding speed is too fast. In this case, the welding speed needs to be reduced to extend the heat input time and prevent incomplete penetration at the weld root. If the temperature drop per unit time is small and the solidification rate of the molten pool is slow, then the welding speed is too slow. In this case, the welding speed needs to be increased to prevent the heat-affected zone from becoming too large.

The dynamic detection of weld bevel changes involves real-time detection of the bevel gap width, utilizing a front-mounted single-line structured light sensor to acquire bevel width information in real time. The dynamic adaptation of bevel changes occurs when the bevel gap width increases. When the weld pool fills the gap, the welding speed needs to be slowed down while increasing the filler wire amount. Once the weld pool has filled the gap, the original welding speed should be resumed to ensure the weld pool fully melts the base material and prevents the weld pool from widening. When the bevel gap decreases... At this time, it is necessary to increase the welding speed and avoid localized pile-up; the aforementioned This refers to the difference between the current actual gap and the reference value. This refers to the preset threshold for the difference between the actual gap and the reference value.

This refers to the root mean square value; when At that time, the sound waveform amplitude is uniform, and the welding speed is moderate; when At this time, large amplitude fluctuations and increased high-frequency components indicate that the welding speed is too fast and needs to be slowed down; when When the amplitude fluctuation is small and the overall signal strength is low, it is determined that the welding speed is too slow, and the welding speed needs to be increased and the arc length shortened.
