Specifically, the signal conversion module 300 converts the duty cycle of the input PWM signal into an analog voltage signal in a linear relationship with the duty cycle. For example, the signal conversion module 300 first detects the duty cycle of the input PWM signal, and then linearly converts the detected duty cycle into a corresponding analog voltage signal, for example, a PWM signal with a duty cycle of 50% will be converted into a 5V analog voltage signal

Specifically, the master control module 100 generates two PWM signals, which are transmitted by the opto-coupling U3 and the opto-coupling U5 respectively. The opto-coupling U3 and the opto-coupling U5 are core elements of the opto-coupling isolation module 200, which are responsible for realizing electrical isolation and transmission of signals.

The voltage range of the analog voltage signal is usually 0V to 5V or 0V to 10V, depending on the design of the signal conversion module 300. The output ends of the operational amplifier U4A and U4B are connected with two input ends of the control circuit of the welding machine 500 respectively, and the processed analog voltage signal is output to the control circuit of the welding machine 500 for controlling the current and voltage of the welding machine 500.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 , the circuit for setting the welding machine current and voltage of the robot controller further includes a capacitor C13, a capacitor C25, a transient voltage suppression diode D2, a transient voltage suppression diode D3, the capacitor C13 and the transient voltage suppression diode D2 are connected in parallel to the output end of the operational amplifier U4A, and the capacitor C25 and the transient voltage suppression diode D3 are connected in parallel to the output end of the operational amplifier U4B. Specifically, the capacitor C13 and the capacitor C25 have low impedance characteristics to high-frequency noise and ripple, which can effectively filter out these unwanted signal components. Through filtering, the output voltage fluctuation is reduced, and the signal is more stable, which is very important for precision control applications. When a transient voltage spike occurs at the output end, the transient voltage suppression diodes D2 and D3 will quickly conduct, clamping the overvoltage to a safe level (e.g., the breakdown voltage of the transient voltage suppression diode), which can prevent damage to the operational amplification module 400 and other sensitive circuits caused by transient voltage spikes.

[0037] Further, the circuit for setting the welding machine current and voltage of the robot controller further includes a power supply module, the power supply module is connected with the signal conversion module 300 and the operational amplification module 400 respectively, and the power supply module is used for converting voltage and supplying power to the signal conversion module 300 and the operational amplification module 400. Specifically, the main function of the power supply module is to convert the input power voltage into the voltage level required by the signal conversion module 300 and the operational amplification module 400, for example, converting the input 12V or 24V power into 5V or ±15V voltage, to meet the working voltage requirements of different modules.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 3 The power module includes a DC-DC converter U1 for converting an input DC voltage into a DC voltage required by the signal conversion module 300 and the operational amplification module 400, and the DC-DC converter U1 can adopt a DC-DC converter of a B2415LS series, the DC-DC converter module of the B2415LS series having the characteristics of high efficiency, isolation voltage and non-regulated output, and being suitable for a distributed power supply system requiring isolation voltage. The power module realizes voltage conversion and voltage stabilization filtering through the DC-DC converter U1 of the B2415LS series, and provides stable power supply for the signal conversion module 300 and the operational amplification module 400.

[0039] The utility model embodiment further provides a method for robot controller setting welding machine current voltage, and the method specifically comprises the following steps:

[0040] Receiving the voltage value input by the user;

[0041] According to the received input voltage value, the corresponding PWM signal duty cycle is calculated, and the PWM signal is generated;

[0042] The generated PWM signal is transmitted to the signal conversion module 300 through the optocoupler isolation module 200, and the signal conversion module 300 generates the corresponding analog voltage signal according to the received PWM signal;

[0043] The analog voltage signal output by the signal conversion module 300 is buffered and isolated through the operational amplification module 400, and the stable analog voltage signal is output.

[0044] Specifically, the user can input the corresponding voltage value through the man-machine interface (such as touch screen, keyboard or control software), according to the voltage value input by the user, the main control module 100 calculates the corresponding PWM signal duty cycle through the internal algorithm, and generates the corresponding PWM signal, the generated PWM signal is electrically isolated through the optocoupler isolation module 200, to prevent the electrical interference and noise propagation between the main control module 100 and the subsequent circuit, improve the stability and reliability of the system, the signal conversion chip (such as PWM to analog voltage chip) in the signal conversion module 300 converts the PWM signal duty cycle into an analog voltage signal linearly, the analog voltage signal output by the signal conversion module 300 is buffered and isolated through the operational amplification module 400, to enhance the driving ability of the signal, prevent the signal from being affected by the load in the transmission process. The operational amplification module 400 filters, amplifies and stabilizes the signal.

[0045] Further, the method further comprises:

[0046] The analog voltage signal output by the operational amplifier module 400 is transmitted to the input end of the welding machine 500, and is used as a current or voltage setting signal of the welding machine 500;

[0047] After receiving the current or voltage setting signal, the welding machine 500 sets the corresponding welding current or voltage and performs welding.

[0048] Specifically, the analog voltage signal is used as a current or voltage setting signal of the welding machine 500, and is used to set the specific working parameters of the welding machine. By changing the voltage value of the analog voltage signal, the different current or voltage outputs of the welding machine 500 can be adjusted, and the welding process can be accurately controlled. For example, there is a linear relationship between the voltage value of the analog voltage signal and the current or voltage setting value of the welding machine 500, for example: 0V corresponds to the minimum current or voltage, 10V corresponds to the maximum current or voltage, and the intermediate voltage value corresponds to the corresponding intermediate current or voltage value. When the analog voltage signal is used to control the current of the welding machine 500, the change of the voltage value will directly lead to the change of the output current of the welding machine 500, and when the analog voltage signal is used to control the voltage of the welding machine 500, the change of the voltage value will directly lead to the change of the output voltage of the welding machine 500. The analog voltage signal is a voltage signal, and its voltage value changes within a certain range, which is used to control the current or voltage of the welding machine.

[0049] Further, the method further comprises:

[0050] After receiving the current or voltage setting signal, the welding machine 500 displays the current welding current or voltage on the LED panel of the welding machine 500. Specifically, the welding machine 500 is usually equipped with a current sensor inside, which is used to monitor the actual welding current in real time. Similarly, the welding machine 500 is equipped with a voltage sensor inside, which is used to monitor the actual welding voltage in real time. The current and voltage sensors transmit the collected data to the control system of the welding machine 500, and the control system processes the collected data to convert it into a displayable value. The control system of the welding machine 500 sends the processed current or voltage value to the display driving circuit of the LED panel, and the LED panel displays the current welding current or voltage value in real time according to the received data. The operator can monitor the welding current and voltage in real time through the LED panel, and ensure that the welding process meets the expectations.

[0051] Further, the frequency of the PWM signal is fixed at 1KHz, and the duty cycle has a linear relationship with the input voltage. The input voltage range is 0V to 10V, and the duty cycle range is 0% to 100%. Specifically, there is a linear proportional relationship between the duty cycle and the input voltage, i.e. the change of the input voltage directly leads to the change of the duty cycle. The formula can be expressed as: duty cycle = (input voltage / maximum input voltage) x 100%. For example, when the input voltage is 5V, the duty cycle is 50%; when the input voltage is 10V, the duty cycle is 100%. The PWM signal realizes accurate and fast control through fixed frequency and linear relationship between duty cycle and input voltage. The input voltage range of 0V to 10V and the duty cycle range of 0% to 100% provide high-resolution control capability.

[0052] The following is an example analysis of the welding machine 500 voltage setting process, which aims to realize accurate setting of the welding machine 500 voltage through the teach pendant, the main control module 100, the opto-isolating module 200, the signal conversion module 300, and the operational amplifier module 400.

[0053] Suppose the welding current of a welding machine 500 needs to be set. First, the user enters the current-voltage matching interface in the welding process setting of the teach pendant. In this interface, the user inputs the desired voltage value corresponding to the current in the "analog quantity AO0(V)" input box, for example, inputs "1.2" to represent setting the welding current to 66A. Then, the user clicks the "analog quantity test" button to trigger the teach pendant to issue the command to the main control module 100 through the wired network. After receiving the command, the main control module 100 generates a PWM signal with a frequency of 1KHz and sets the corresponding duty cycle according to the input voltage value. For example, 1.2V corresponds to a duty cycle of 12% (because 0-10V corresponds to a duty cycle of 0-100%). The PWM signal is first subjected to electrical isolation by the opto-isolating module 200 to prevent interference and noise propagation, and then transmitted to the input end of the signal conversion module 300. The signal conversion module 300 linearly converts the PWM signal to an analog voltage signal of 1.2V, and then buffers and isolates the signal through the operational amplifier module 400 to ensure the stability and accuracy of the signal. Finally, the stable 1.2V voltage is transmitted to the input end of the welding machine 500 through the cable as the current given signal of the welding machine 500. After receiving the signal, the welding machine 500 sets the welding current to 66A according to the process parameters and working conditions, and displays the current welding machine 500 current as 66A on the LED panel.

[0054] Similarly in the current-voltage matching interface, the user can input a higher voltage value, for example, input "10" represents the set welding current is 550A. Click the "analog quantity test" button, the host module 100 generates a PWM signal with a duty cycle of 100%, through the optocoupler isolation module 200 and the signal conversion module 300, finally output 10V voltage as the current given signal of the welding machine 500, the welding machine 500 receives the 10V signal, sets the welding current to 550A, and displays the current welding machine 500 current as 550A on the LED panel.

[0055] Suppose the current welding voltage of a welding machine 500 is to be set, first, input the desired voltage value in the "analog quantity AO0(V)" input box, for example, input "1.2" represents the set welding voltage is 14.8V. Then, click the "analog quantity test" button, trigger the programmer to issue commands to the host module 100 through the wired network. After receiving the command, the host module 100 generates a PWM signal with a frequency of 1KHz, and sets the corresponding duty cycle according to the input voltage value. For example, 1.2V corresponds to a duty cycle of 12%. The PWM signal passes through the optocoupler isolation module 200 and is input to the input end of the signal conversion module 300. The signal conversion module 300 linearly converts the PWM signal to an analog voltage signal of 1.2V, which is then processed by the operational amplifier module 400, and finally outputs a stable 1.2V voltage through the cable to the input end of the welding machine 500 as the voltage given signal of the welding machine 500. After receiving the signal, the welding machine 500 sets the welding voltage to 14.8V according to the process parameters and working conditions, and displays the current welding machine 500 voltage as 14.8V on the LED panel.

[0056] Similarly in the current-voltage matching interface, the user can input a higher voltage value, for example, input "9.5" represents the set welding voltage is 47.4V. Click the "analog quantity test" button, the host module 100 generates a PWM signal with a duty cycle of 95%, through the optocoupler isolation module 200 and the signal conversion module 300, finally output 9.5V voltage as the voltage given signal of the welding machine 500. The welding machine 500 receives the 9.5V signal, sets the welding voltage to 47.4V, and displays the current welding machine 500 voltage as 47.4V on the LED panel.

[0057] In the welding process settings, the precise control of the current and voltage is achieved through the current / voltage graph, the user first enters the voltage current matching interface. In this interface, the user needs to input the minimum and maximum welding current values of the welding machine 500, i.e. 66A and 550A, in the two check boxes corresponding to the X axis (welding current) of the current / voltage graph respectively. At the same time, the voltage values corresponding to these current values, i.e. 1.2V and 10V, are input in the corresponding check boxes of the Y axis (input analog voltage). These values represent that when the analog voltage signal of 1.2V is input, the welding machine 500 needs to output the welding current of 66A; when the analog voltage signal of 10V is input, the welding machine 500 needs to output the welding current of 550A. After the input is completed, the user clicks the "save" button, and the system saves the current settings. In this way, the current setting of the welding machine 500 is completed, and it is ensured that the robot outputs the analog voltage of 1.2V-10V through the PWM signal, corresponding to the welding current range of 66A-550A of the welding machine 500.

[0058] Similarly, the user sets the voltage of the welding machine 500 in the current / voltage graph of the same interface. The user needs to input the minimum and maximum welding voltage values of the welding machine 500, i.e. 14.8V and 47.4V, in the two check boxes corresponding to the X axis (welding current). At the same time, the voltage values corresponding to these voltage values, i.e. 1.2V and 9.5V, are input in the corresponding check boxes of the Y axis (input analog voltage). These values represent that when the analog voltage signal of 1.2V is input, the welding machine 500 needs to output the welding voltage of 14.8V; when the analog voltage signal of 9.5V is input, the welding machine 500 needs to output the welding voltage of 47.4V. After the input is completed, the user clicks the "save" button, and the system saves the current settings. In this way, the voltage setting of the welding machine 500 is completed, and it is ensured that the robot outputs the analog voltage of 1.2V-9.5V through the PWM signal, corresponding to the welding voltage range of 14.8V-47.4V of the welding machine 500.

[0059] Through this precise setting process, the user can ensure that the welding machine 500 can work according to the expected current and voltage in different welding tasks, so as to ensure the welding quality and production efficiency.
