[0042] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0043] Implementation Case:
[0044] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, a nut welding error prevention detection device mainly consists of a main controller 1, a position detection component, a thickness detection component, an alarm module, a human-machine interaction module, an execution module, and mechanical structural components.
[0045] The mechanical structure components include an electrode holder 9, an electrode cooling water jacket 10, a positioning pin 22, a positioning pin connecting rod 23, and a positioning pin lifting cylinder 11. The diameter and length of the electrode holder 9 can be customized according to actual welding requirements. The electrode cooling water jacket 10 is installed in conjunction with the electrode holder 9 and is used for cooling the electrode during the welding process. The positioning pin 22 is connected to the magnetic head 21 of the magnetic scale through the positioning pin connecting rod 23. The positioning pin lifting cylinder 11 drives the positioning pin 22 to move up and down.
[0046] The position detection component uses the Atom MHO-H200 magnetic scale 2. Its magnetic scale head 21 detects the actual displacement of the positioning pin 22 to achieve anti-reverse and error detection of the nut. The magnetic scale 2 has an accuracy of 5μm and outputs 50 pulses per millimeter, which can accurately capture the minute displacement changes of the positioning pin 22.
[0047] The thickness detection component uses a Jiasheng LWF-175 resistance ruler 3 to detect the descent position of the upper electrode 12, thereby detecting incorrect overlapping of nuts. Its accuracy is ±0.05%, and the total stroke is 175mm. The probe of the resistance ruler 3 is equipped with an oil-proof silicone sleeve, which can effectively resist oil contamination in the lubrication environment.
[0048] The main controller 1 uses a GD32F450 chip. Its timer encoder interface is connected to the magnetic scale 2 to receive and process position detection signals, achieving a displacement detection accuracy of up to 2μm. Its ADC sampling interface is connected to the resistance scale 3, and through digital filtering, the thickness detection accuracy reaches 0.1mm.
[0049] The alarm module is an audible and visual alarm 4. When an abnormality is detected, it can issue an audible and visual alarm signal to promptly remind the operator.
[0050] The human-machine interface module is an industrial HMI5, used to display detection data, alarm information (such as no welded workpiece, workpiece exceeding positive tolerance, workpiece exceeding negative tolerance, etc.) and to set parameters (such as zero point calibration, tolerance range setting, etc.).
[0051] The execution module includes a pneumatic solenoid valve 6, which is connected to the lower electrode cylinder 7 and the upper electrode pressurizing cylinder 8 respectively, and is used to receive control signals from the main controller 1 to drive the lower electrode 13 and the upper electrode 12.
[0052] Working principle:
[0053] Test preparation: Before starting the device, zero-point calibration is performed using the industrial HMI5 (can be performed manually or automatically), setting the rated values for nut installation position, thickness, and positive and negative tolerance ranges; the magnetic scale 2 is demagnetized every 6 months to ensure test accuracy.
[0054] Pre-welding inspection: After the workpiece to be welded is placed in place, the upper electrode pressurizing cylinder 8 drives the upper electrode to descend. After the pre-pressurization time ends, the resistance ruler 3 detects the descending position of the upper electrode and obtains relevant information about the nut thickness. At the same time, the positioning pin 22 contacts the nut under the drive of the positioning pin lifting cylinder 11, and the magnetic grid ruler 2 detects the actual displacement of the positioning pin 22 and obtains the nut position information.
[0055] Data processing and judgment: The main controller 1 receives the position signal from the magnetic scale 2 and the thickness signal from the resistance scale 3, and performs cross-verification:
[0056] If the displacement of the positioning pin 22 detected by the magnetic scale 2 exceeds the set tolerance range, it is determined that the nut is missing or installed in reverse (error prevention and reverse detection).
[0057] If the upper electrode's descent position detected by the resistance ruler 3 exceeds the set tolerance range, it is determined that the nuts are stacked (anti-overlap detection).
[0058] Execution and Alarm: If the detection result is normal, the main controller 1 controls the pneumatic solenoid valve 6 to drive the lower electrode cylinder 7 and the upper electrode pressurizing cylinder 8 to continue the welding action; if an abnormality is detected, the main controller 1 immediately controls the execution module to stop the welding action, and at the same time activates the audible and visual alarm 4 to issue an alarm signal, and displays the specific alarm code through the industrial HMI5, so that the operator can handle it in time.
[0059] This device achieves high-precision detection to prevent errors, reversals, and overlaps during nut welding through the collaborative work of multiple components, effectively improving welding quality and production efficiency, and is suitable for widespread application in automated welding production lines.
[0060] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0061] Dual-sensor collaborative detection: Through cross-verification of magnetic grating ruler and resistance ruler, a dual-redundant detection mechanism is formed, which greatly reduces the false judgment rate, which can be controlled below 0.01%.
[0062] High detection accuracy: The magnetic scale has an accuracy of 5μm, and the highest accuracy can reach 2μm when combined with the timer encoder function of the main controller; the resistance scale has an accuracy of 0.1mm after digital filtering, which can accurately identify the installation status of nuts.
[0063] Fast response speed: The device automatically matches the welding sequence, and the response time from detection to output control signal is less than 10ms, which does not affect the normal welding cycle.
[0064] Adaptable to harsh environments: The resistance ruler probe is equipped with an oil-proof silicone sleeve to adapt to lubricated environments; regular demagnetization of the magnetic scale ensures long-term detection accuracy.
[0065] Comprehensive alarm functions: Multiple alarm modes are achieved through audible and visual alarms and industrial HMI, which can display specific alarm information such as no welded workpiece, workpiece exceeding positive tolerance, and workpiece exceeding negative tolerance, facilitating quick troubleshooting.
