[0041] In the embodiment 4, based on the embodiment 1, a weld quality prediction and process optimization method based on a welding cloud platform is provided, as shown in the following figure.

Based on the scale method, the importance between any two first targets and the importance between any two quantifiable sub-targets are generated to generate a first judgment matrix and a second judgment matrix, and the first maximum eigenvalue and the second maximum eigenvalue of the first judgment matrix and the second judgment matrix are obtained respectively. Based on the first maximum eigenvalue and the second maximum eigenvalue, consistency check is performed, if passed, the characteristic vectors corresponding to the first judgment matrix and the second judgment matrix are calculated based on the eigenvalue method, and the characteristic vectors are normalized and processed as the initial main weight of the first target and the initial sub-weight of the quantifiable sub-targets, and based on the initial main weight and the initial sub-weight, the initial weight scheme is obtained, otherwise, the scale value is adjusted, the latest judgment matrix is regenerated until the consistency check is passed.

Based on the optimization target system as the basis, with parameter constraint boundary as the constraint, the process parameter set is iteratively calculated to obtain the optimal process parameter scheme, and the initial optimization parameter of the weld process parameter is determined based on the optimal process parameter scheme.

[0047] In this embodiment, the quantifiable sub-targets are, for example, the quality standard target is decomposed into defect rate control sub-target, weld grade standard sub-target, the production efficiency target is decomposed into weld speed improvement sub-target, operation cycle stability sub-target, the energy consumption cost target is decomposed into electric energy consumption reduction sub-target, consumable loss control sub-target, etc.

[0048] In this embodiment, the scale method is initially set to use the 1-9 scale method, and the comparison standard is defined in combination with the steel structure welding scene, 1 represents the same importance of two targets, 3 represents that one target is slightly more important than the other target, 5 represents that one target is obviously more important than the other target, 7 represents that one target is strongly more important than the other target, and 9 represents that one target is extremely more important than the other target, 2, 4, 6, and 8 are intermediate values of the corresponding scale, and the inverse of 1-9 represents the opposite importance of the two targets, for example, 1 / 3 represents that one target is slightly less important than the other target; the welding cloud platform automatically pops up a pairwise comparison interface, the operator inputs the scale value based on the welding scene demand, and the system automatically generates an upper triangular or lower triangular judgment matrix.

[0049] In this embodiment, the welding cloud platform automatically retrieves the historical optimization data matched with the current welding scene (workpiece type, welding material, equipment model, and consistent environmental conditions) in the past three years, and filters out the weight scheme and the corresponding actual application effect data.

[0050] In this embodiment, the core characteristic parameters corresponding to the first and second judgment matrices are the key indicators for measuring the consistency of the judgment matrix, which are solved through matrix operation. If the judgment matrix is completely consistent, the maximum eigenvalue is equal to the matrix order, and the larger the deviation, the larger the difference between the maximum eigenvalue and the matrix order.

[0051] In this embodiment, the linear regression algorithm is used for fitting analysis of the historical weight scheme, effect data, and current deviation value to generate a weight correction coefficient algorithm. The core is to construct a linear correlation model of the deviation value and the weight to realize accurate correction of the deviation.
