Description

[0002] In modern automobile manufacturing, door welding, as one of the key links in body manufacturing, its welding quality and efficiency directly affect the safety and production efficiency of the whole vehicle. Most traditional door welding systems rely on manual or semi-automatic welding equipment, and these equipment have many technical problems and limitations in the welding process.
[0003] Firstly, the traditional welding system lacks an effective real-time monitoring and grinding mechanism for the wear state of the electrode. As the number of welds increases, the electrode tip will gradually wear, resulting in uneven distribution of the welding current density, which in turn affects the welding quality and the visual effect of the solder joints. The traditional method is to manually remove the electrode for grinding after welding a certain number of times. This method not only has low efficiency, but also the grinding quality is difficult to guarantee, and it is easy to have the situation of insufficient grinding or over-grinding.
[0004] Secondly, the traditional welding system lacks a high-precision vision detection and feedback mechanism. During the welding process, factors such as the position, angle and posture of the electrode will affect the welding quality, and the traditional system often relies on mechanical positioning and manual adjustment, making it difficult to achieve high-precision control. In addition, the detection of the solder joint quality after welding mostly relies on manual visual inspection. This method not only takes time and effort, but also is easy to miss subtle defects.
[0005] In response to the above problems, although the existing technology has been improved, such as introducing a robot welding system and using an automatic grinding equipment, there are still deficiencies in the vision detection and feedback mechanism. Although the robot welding system improves the welding precision and efficiency, it still requires manual intervention in electrode grinding and solder joint quality detection; while the automatic grinding equipment, although realizing the automation of the grinding process, lacks real-time vision detection and feedback, and it is difficult to ensure the consistency of the grinding quality.

[0053] A vision-based door welding system includes a carrying component 1 for supporting a door body 2 and at least one set of welding components for welding and fixing the door body 2.
[0054] The welding component includes an execution mechanism 3 for performing welding actions on the door body 2, a grinding mechanism 4 for performing motor grinding actions on the electrodes after welding the door body 2, and a detection mechanism 5 for collecting images of the electrodes after grinding.
[0055] The detection mechanism 5 includes a detection support column 50 and a back plate 51 provided at the upper end of the detection support column 50. The rear plate surface of the back plate 51 is mounted on the detection support column 50. On both sides of the front plate surface of the back plate 51, two side plates 52 are symmetrically provided. Between the two side plates 52, a cover 53 and a diffusion plate 54 are arranged. The space between the two side plates 52 is sequentially divided into an equipment chamber, a detection chamber, and a supplementary light chamber by the cover 53 and the diffusion plate 54.
[0056] The cover 53, the diffusion plate 54, and the two side plates 52 are jointly installed with a housing 55. The housing 55 is cover-mounted on the back plate 51, and a first detection notch 56 communicating with the detection chamber is centrally opened on the housing 55. The first detection notch 56 is used for the execution mechanism 3 to movably penetrate and place the electrode to be detected into the detection chamber.
[0057] A shooting component for collecting images of the electrodes entering the detection chamber is fixedly arranged in the equipment chamber.
[0058] A supplementary light component for supplementing light for shooting the electrodes entering the detection chamber is fixedly arranged in the supplementary light chamber.
[0059] As Figures 1-9As shown, first, the door body 2 is placed on the bearing component 1 and kept fixed. Then, the actuator 3 performs welding operations on the door body 2 according to a preset program.
[0060] After the welding operation, the grinding mechanism 4 automatically grinds the used electrodes to ensure welding quality and the long-term usability of the electrodes. To ensure that the electrodes after grinding meet the welding standards, the detection mechanism 5 can perform visual inspection on the electrodes to confirm whether the state of the electrodes is suitable for continued use.
[0061] Among them, the specific working principle of the detection mechanism 5 is as follows: When the actuator 3 moves the electrode to be detected into the detection chamber of the detection mechanism 5, the imaging component captures the image of the electrode to record in detail the wear condition, surface quality, etc. of the electrode. At the same time, the light supplementing component provides uniform and soft light in the light supplementing chamber to ensure that the captured image is clear and shadowless, improving the detection accuracy.
[0062] Finally, the imaging component transmits the captured image to an external control unit for processing and analysis. The control unit uses advanced image processing algorithms to perform operations such as denoising, enhancement, and edge detection on the image to extract the key feature information of the electrode. Subsequently, the control unit evaluates the wear degree, surface quality, etc. of the electrode according to preset standards and algorithms to determine whether the electrode needs further grinding or replacement. Then, according to the analysis result, the control unit can automatically adjust the parameters of the grinding mechanism or directly issue an instruction to replace the electrode, which is executed by the actuator 3.
[0063] In summary, the utility model ensures that the electrodes are in the best state during the welding process by regularly detecting and grinding the electrodes, thereby improving the welding accuracy and reliability, reducing welding defects, and improving welding quality. Secondly, the use of automated detection and grinding reduces manual intervention, reduces the possibility of human errors, extends the service life of the electrodes, reduces the frequency of electrode replacement, and thus reduces the maintenance cost. Moreover, the entire welding, grinding, and detection processes are highly integrated, realizing automated and continuous operations, greatly improving production efficiency. More importantly, by obtaining the image record of the electrodes after grinding through the imaging component, the collection of the effect after electrode grinding can be completed from the perspective of visual acquisition, and the grinding state of the electrodes can be recorded in real time; and all detection data can be recorded and traced, providing strong support for quality analysis and process improvement.
[0064] Further explanation, the imaging component includes an imaging bracket 57, the imaging bracket 57 is fixedly arranged on the back plate 51, and a camera 58 is fixedly installed on the imaging bracket 57;
[0065] The cover 53 is provided with a second detection notch which communicates the equipment bin and the detection bin, and the shooting end of the camera 58 faces the second detection notch.
[0066] As Figure 7 shown, the shooting bracket 57 is firmly fixed on the back plate 51, and this design ensures the stability and accuracy of the camera 58 during shooting.
[0067] When the actuator 3 moves the electrode to be detected into the detection bin and stably places it at the designated position, the camera 58 starts to work. The shooting end of the camera 58 faces the second detection notch, and the design of the second detection notch enables the camera 58 to capture the electrode image in the detection bin without obstruction. Through the high-precision lens and image sensor of the camera, the fine features and wear conditions of the electrode can be detailedly recorded.
[0068] Furthermore, the supplementary lighting component includes an LED supplementary light 59 which is fixedly arranged on the inner side of the side plate 52 close to the diffusion plate 54, and the light-emitting side of the LED supplementary light 59 faces the detection bin.
[0069] As Figure 7 shown, the light emitted by the LED supplementary light 59 in the supplementary lighting bin enters the detection bin after being evenly diffused by the diffusion plate 54, providing sufficient illumination for the electrode to be detected. This design eliminates the problems of shadows and uneven light, ensuring that the camera 58 can capture clear and accurate images.
[0070] Furthermore, the actuator 3 includes a robot main body 31, and an electrode fixture 32 is installed at the driving end of the robot main body 31, and an upper electrode 33 and a lower electrode 34 are respectively detachably installed on both sides inside the electrode fixture 32.
[0071] As Figures 4-5 shown, when performing a welding operation, the robot main body 31 accurately moves the electrode fixture 32, the upper electrode 33 and the lower electrode 34 to the preset positions according to the preset program and path, such as moving the electrode fixture 32 to the welding position of the vehicle door main body 2, and controlling the closing and opening of the upper electrode 33 and the lower electrode 34 and the on-off of the current through the electrode fixture 32 to achieve efficient and accurate welding of the vehicle door main body 2. Or moving the upper electrode 33 and the lower electrode 34 into the detection bin of the detection component 5 for image acquisition. Or moving the upper electrode 33 and the lower electrode 34 to the grinding mechanism 4 for electrode grinding.
[0072] For further illustration, the grinding mechanism 4 includes a grinding support column 41. A fixing seat 42 is provided at the upper end of the grinding support column 41. A lower double-ended pushing cylinder 43 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the fixing seat 42, and an upper double-ended pushing cylinder 44 is fixedly installed at the top end of the fixing seat 42. The lower double-ended pushing cylinder 43 and the upper double-ended pushing cylinder 44 are arranged facing each other. A grinding tool body 45 is installed between the lower double-ended pushing cylinder 43 and the upper double-ended pushing cylinder 44;
[0073] An electrode grinding module 49 is provided on the grinding tool body 45. The electrode grinding module 49 is used to grind the upper electrode 33 and the lower electrode 34 of the electrode fixture 32.
[0074] As Figure 6 shown, when the detection component 5 detects that the upper electrode 33 and / or the lower electrode 34 need to be ground, the actuating mechanism 3 moves the electrode fixture 32 and the upper electrode 33 and the lower electrode 34 thereon to the grinding tool body 45 of the grinding mechanism 4. At this time, the grinding support column 41 and the fixing seat 42 provide stable support for the entire grinding process.
[0075] Since the lower end and the upper end of the grinding tool body 45 are respectively fixedly installed with a lower double-ended pushing cylinder 43 and an upper double-ended pushing cylinder 44, and the lower double-ended pushing cylinder 43 and the upper double-ended pushing cylinder 44 are arranged facing each other, through precise control, they adjust the grinding tool body 45 to a position in contact with the electrode fixture 32 and the upper electrode 33 and the lower electrode 34 thereon, thus ensuring precise alignment during the grinding process. After the electrode positioning is completed, the electrode grinding module 49 on the grinding tool body 45 starts to work and automatically grinds the upper electrode 33 or the lower electrode 34.
[0076] For further illustration, an electrode replacement upper module 46 and an electrode replacement lower module 47 are respectively arranged on both sides of the grinding tool body 45;
[0077] The electrode replacement upper module 46 is used to replace the upper electrode 33 for the electrode fixture 32, and the electrode replacement lower module 47 is used to replace the lower electrode 34 for the electrode fixture 32;
[0078] An electrode tightening and loosening module 48 is provided between the electrode replacement upper module 46 and the electrode replacement lower module 47. The electrode tightening and loosening module 48 is used to loosen the upper electrode 33 and the lower electrode 34 of the electrode fixture 32;
[0079] A grinding drive motor 410 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the grinding tool body 45. The grinding drive motor 410 is used to provide power for the electrode replacement upper module 46, the electrode replacement lower module 47, the electrode tightening and loosening module 48, and the electrode grinding module 49.
[0080] AsFigure 6 As shown, after the grinding is completed, if the electrode is severely worn or reaches the replacement standard, the electrode replacement process will be initiated. First, the upper electrode 33 or the lower electrode 34 of the electrode fixture 32 is loosened by the electrode tightening and loosening module 48, and then the upper electrode replacement module 46 and the lower electrode replacement module 47 are respectively responsible for the replacement of the upper electrode 33 and the lower electrode 34, which can accurately remove the old electrode from the electrode fixture 32 and install a new electrode.
[0081] More importantly, as the power source of the grinding mechanism 4, the grinding drive motor 410 not only provides power for the grinding module 49, but also may provide necessary auxiliary power or control signals for the upper electrode replacement module 46, the lower electrode replacement module 47 and the electrode tightening and loosening module 48 through the transmission device or the control system. This design of centralized power supply and power distribution improves the overall efficiency and reliability of the system.
[0082] For further illustration, a debris collection tray 411 is fixedly installed on the column body of the grinding support column 41, and the debris collection tray 411 is located below the grinder main body 45.
[0083] As Figure 6 shown, during the electrode grinding process, when the grinding tool of the grinder main body 45 contacts the surface of the electrode, a certain amount of metal debris or powder will be generated. If these debris are not cleaned up in time, they may pollute the working area and even affect the normal operation of the equipment. Therefore, the debris collection tray 411 is arranged below the grinder main body 45 and fixedly installed on the column body of the grinding support column 41. When the grinding process is in progress, the generated debris naturally falls under the action of gravity and air flow and is effectively collected by the debris collection tray 411.
[0084] For further illustration, the carrier assembly 1 includes a workbench 12, a plurality of support seats 11 are fixedly installed on the lower table surface of the workbench 12, and a plurality of clamping mechanisms 6, supporting mechanisms 7 and carrier seats 13 are detachably installed on the upper table surface of the workbench 12. The plurality of clamping mechanisms 6, supporting mechanisms 7 and carrier seats 13 are used to jointly clamp and support the door body 2 according to the shape of the door body 2.
[0085] As Figures 2-3 shown, through the coordinated work of the workbench 12, the support seats 11, the clamping mechanisms 6, the supporting mechanisms 7 and the carrier seats 13, the carrier assembly 1 provides a stable, reliable and flexible processing platform for the door body 2, ensuring the smooth progress of the processing process and the stable and reliable processing quality.
[0086] For further illustration, the clamping mechanism 6 includes a vertical plate 61, a lower clamping seat 62 and a clamping drive motor 63;
[0087] The vertical plate 61 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the workbench 12, the lower clamping seat 62 is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the vertical plate 61, and the upper clamping seat 66 is hingedly installed at the upper end of the lower clamping seat 62 through a second hinge seat 65;
[0088] The clamping drive motor 63 is fixedly installed on the side surface of the vertical plate 61, the drive end of the clamping drive motor 63 is arranged upward, the drive end of the clamping drive motor 63 is fixedly installed with a first hinge seat 64, and the first hinge seat 64 and the second hinge seat 65 are jointly hingedly installed on the upper clamping seat 66;
[0089] A clamping space is formed between the upper clamping seat 66 and the lower clamping seat 62, and clamping seats 67 are respectively installed on the upper clamping seat 66 and the lower clamping seat 62;
[0090] The clamping drive motor 63 is used to drive the two clamping seats 67 to move away from or close to each other.
[0091] As Figure 8 shown, before clamping the car door body 2, the upper clamping seat 66 is in an open state, that is, the distance between it and the lower clamping seat 62 is relatively large, forming enough space for the car door body 2 to be placed. Then, the actuator 3 places the car door body 2 on the lower clamping seat 62 and adjusts its position to ensure that the part to be processed of the car door body 2 is aligned with the clamping seat 67. Subsequently, the clamping drive motor 63 is started, and through the transmission of the first hinge seat 64 and the second hinge seat 65, the upper clamping seat 66 is driven to rotate around the hinge point and move downward. As the upper clamping seat 66 gradually approaches, the distance between the two clamping seats 67 gradually decreases, and finally the car door body 2 is firmly clamped between the upper clamping seat 66 and the lower clamping seat 62.
[0092] In summary, the clamping mechanism 6 can efficiently and stably complete the clamping and releasing actions of the car door body 2, providing strong support for the subsequent processing process.
[0093] For further explanation, the supporting mechanism 7 includes a supporting base 71, the supporting base 71 is fixedly arranged on the upper plate surface of the workbench 12, and the supporting base 71 is in a hollow cavity shape. A supporting drive motor 72 is fixedly installed inside the supporting base 71, the drive end of the supporting drive motor 72 is arranged upward, the drive end of the supporting drive motor 72 movably penetrates through the supporting base 71, and a supporting seat 73 is fixedly installed at the drive end of the supporting drive motor 72.
[0094] As Figure 9As shown, before the door body 2 is placed on the workbench, the support seat 73 is usually in a lower position to avoid interference with the door body 2 to be placed. The actuator 3 then places the door body 2 on the workbench 11 and adjusts its position as needed. At this time, the door body 2 may be partially or completely located above the support seat 73. The support drive motor 72 is then started to drive the support seat 73 to move upward. As the support seat 73 gradually rises, it will contact the bottom or side of the door body 2 and provide support for it. The rising height of the support seat 73 can be adjusted according to the specific shape of the door body 2 and the processing requirements to ensure that the door body 2 maintains a stable posture during the processing.
[0095] In summary, the supporting mechanism 7 provides additional support for the door body 2 in addition to the bearing seat 13, which helps to reduce the vibration and deformation of the door body 2 during the processing, so as to ensure that the door body 2 can maintain a stable posture during the processing.
[0096] The technical principle of the present invention is described above in combination with specific embodiments. These descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the present invention and cannot be interpreted as limiting the protection scope of the present invention in any way. Based on the explanations here, technicians in this field can think of other specific implementations of the present invention without creative work, and these equivalent variations or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
