[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0030] A welding robot weld seam recognition device includes a robot 1, a swing arm 101, and a mounting frame 3.
[0031] The mounting bracket 3 has slots 4 at both ends on the upper inner side, and a card plate 401 is engaged inside the slot 4. The front and back ends of the top of the mounting bracket 3 have cross-shaped fixing slots 501, and a cross-shaped fixing block 5 is engaged inside the cross-shaped fixing slots 501. The top of the mounting bracket 3 is provided with a mounting seat 6, and card plates 401 are fixed at the center of both sides of the mounting seat 6. Cross-shaped fixing blocks 5 are installed on the front and back of the mounting seat 6. A laser weld seam tracker 7 is fixed at the center of the bottom of the mounting seat 6.
[0032] The model of the laser weld seam tracker 7 is ICK LSP30. The laser weld seam tracker 7 projects a fan-shaped laser stripe onto the weld seam using a semiconductor laser (wavelength 808 / 450nm). A high-speed CMOS industrial camera (500fps@2048×1536 resolution) captures the deformed light stripe in real time. Image processing algorithms (including Gaussian filtering, Sobel edge detection, and RANSAC linear fitting) extract the weld seam centerline. Combined with a hand-eye calibration matrix (Tsai method accuracy ±0.05mm), the two-dimensional pixel coordinates are converted into three-dimensional deviations in the robot's 1-base coordinate system. Finally, a position compensation signal is output via the EtherCAT bus (cycle time 250μs) to guide the laser welding head 102 to dynamically adjust (response time <5ms), achieving a tracking accuracy of ±0.03mm. Simultaneously, a PID control algorithm (Kp=0.8 / Ki=0.05 / Kd=0.1) adaptively adjusts welding parameters to ensure weld penetration stability (error ±0.1mm).
[0033] The cooperation of the slot 4, the plate 401, the cross-shaped fixing block 5 and the cross-shaped fixing groove 501 enables the quick disassembly, removal and replacement of the laser weld seam tracker 7; the top two ends of the mounting base 6 are fixed with groove rings for hand hooking.
[0034] This utility model uses components such as mounting bracket 3, slot 4, plate 401, cross-shaped fixing block 5, cross-shaped fixing groove 501, mounting base 6, and laser weld seam tracker 7 to facilitate the quick installation and removal of the laser weld seam tracker 7 for easy replacement; at the same time, the above structural combination improves the stability of the installation of the laser weld seam tracker 7.
[0035] Furthermore, by grasping the groove ring on the mounting base 6 with one's hand, the mounting base 6 is moved upwards, so that the retaining plates 401 and cross-shaped fixing blocks 5 on the sides, front, and back of the mounting base 6 are respectively removed from the corresponding retaining grooves 4 and cross-shaped fixing grooves 501 on the mounting frame 3. This allows the laser weld seam tracker 7 installed on the bottom of the mounting base 6 to be quickly removed from the mounting frame 3 for replacement or repair. Conversely, the laser weld seam tracker 7 can be installed by operating in the opposite direction.
[0036] Several sets of buffer components are installed on both sides of the interior of the mounting frame 3 to reduce the vibration of the laser weld seam tracker 7. The buffer components include rubber pillars 8, connecting pillars 801, and connecting grooves 802. Several sets of connecting grooves 802 are opened at the center end of both sides of the interior of the mounting frame 3. The connecting pillars 801 are snapped into the interior of the connecting grooves 802. One end of the connecting pillar 801 is fixedly connected to the rubber pillar 8, and the surface of the rubber pillar 8 abuts against the laser weld seam tracker 7.
[0037] This utility model uses components such as rubber support column 8, connecting column 801 and connecting groove 802 to reduce the vibration of the laser weld seam tracker 7 when the welding robot 1 is working, so as to improve the stability of the laser weld seam tracker 7 during operation; and also makes it easy to disassemble and replace the rubber support column 8.
[0038] Furthermore, by taking the rubber support 8 outward by hand, the connecting post 801 at one end can be pulled out from the corresponding connecting grooves 802 on both sides inside the mounting bracket 3, thus facilitating the disassembly and replacement of the rubber support 8. Conversely, by operating in the opposite direction, the rubber support 8 can be fixed in the connecting groove 802 by the connecting post 801.
[0039] One end of the robot 1 is connected to a swing arm 101 via a rotating shaft. A laser welding head 102 is installed at the bottom of the swing arm 101. The robot 1, the swing arm 101 and the laser welding head 102 work together to achieve welding of the workpiece.
[0040] Robot 1 drives the swing arm 101 to perform multi-degree-of-freedom motion through the rotating shaft. The laser welding head 102 at the end of the swing arm 101 maintains the best welding posture under the precise control of Robot 1 (repeat positioning accuracy ±0.05mm). The three work together to achieve this.
[0041] A connecting seat 2 is fixed to one side of the vertical end of the swing arm 101, and column grooves are opened at both ends of one side of the connecting seat 2. The column grooves are fitted with fixing columns 201 for mounting bracket 3 to be fixed, and the column grooves and fixing columns 201 are compatible.
[0042] By using your hand to pick up the mounting bracket 3 and move it outward, the fixing post 201 set on one side of the mounting bracket 3 can be moved out of the corresponding post groove set on the connecting seat 2, thereby facilitating the disassembly and separation of the mounting bracket 3. Conversely, it can be installed.
[0043] Positioning slides 11 for positioning the laser weld seam tracker 7 are fixed at the center of the front and back sides of the inner side of the mounting bracket 3. The inner side of the positioning slides 11 is slidably connected to the front and back sides of the laser weld seam tracker 7.
[0044] When the laser weld seam tracker 7 is placed inside the mounting bracket 3, its front and back sides pass through the positioning slide 11 set in the mounting bracket 3, so that it is positioned and abuts against the support plate 10.
[0045] Support plates 10 are fixed on both sides of the inner bottom of the mounting bracket 3, and a baffle 9 is provided at the bottom of the mounting bracket 3 near the laser welding head 102. Mounting blocks 901 are fixed at both ends of the top of the baffle 9. The mounting blocks 901 are snapped into the corresponding mounting grooves 902 provided on the bottom of the mounting bracket 3, and the mounting grooves 902 and the mounting blocks 901 are compatible.
[0046] By taking the baffle 9 by hand, the mounting block 901 on its top is inserted into the mounting groove 902, so that the baffle 9 is locked in place. This allows the baffle 9 to shield and protect the laser weld seam tracker 7 without affecting the use of the laser welding head 102 and the laser weld seam tracker 7.
[0047] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
