Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to welding laser location technology field especially relates to a device for laser location of automobile arc welding bead. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of arc welding, accurate positioning of the welding starting point and the bead is crucial for ensuring welding quality and efficiency. However, traditional arc welding methods often rely on manual teaching points and programming of robot, which is complex and time-consuming. When the clamping position of the workpiece is offset, or the assembly error of the workpiece itself cannot be ignored, it is necessary to re-teach programming, which greatly limits the promotion and application of robots in the field of arc welding. In addition, the working environment of arc welding is usually harsh, accompanied by dust, electromagnetic radiation, arc light and noise pollution, which poses a threat to the health of workers. With the reduction of new generation workers, the automobile industry is facing serious technical worker shortage and fault problems. Therefore, introducing robots for arc welding to improve the working environment of workers and fill the labor shortage has become an urgent need for industry development.

[0003] However, the existing robot welding technology still has certain limitations. For example, when the type of workpiece changes or the clamping position of the workpiece is offset, the traditional welding robot often needs to be reprogrammed to adapt to the new welding conditions. This not only increases the production cost, but also reduces the production efficiency. In addition, the existing welding robot system often lacks sufficient flexibility and intelligence, and is difficult to cope with complex and variable welding scenes. The repeated position accuracy of the bead in many workpiece welding scenes cannot meet the requirements of welding quality, so various bead location methods are used to improve welding quality, such as welding wire touch point location method, visual location method, laser location method, etc. Among them, laser ranging location is the most advanced bead location technology, which uses laser sensor ranging to calculate the bead position. Compared with the welding wire touch point location method, it has higher stability and accuracy, and compared with the visual location method, it has better passability. However, like other methods such as visual location, laser location also acquires position information by accepting light source reflection through sensor, and the distance between the transmitting end and receiving end of the sensor and the bead is often within the range of welding spatter. The receiving end of many sensors is easily damaged in high spatter environment. Although the replacement of perspective glass can reduce this problem, the loss rate of perspective glass is still high, and the perspective glass needs to be replaced frequently, which undoubtedly greatly increases the welding cost of the product.

[0004] How to solve the above problems has become a technical problem to be solved. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
