The specific embodiment
A kind of constant scanning locate mode postwelding weld joint tracking and residual stress are eliminated system, the welding stress of comprise Mobile welding equipment 1 that butt welded seam welds, eliminating welding stress is eliminated mobile robot 2, synchronous motor 3 fixed placement are outside weld seam, and are as a reference point with the synchronous motor rotating shaft core; Two reflective distance measuring sensors 4,5 are fixed on motor shaft, with motor coaxle rotation, the segment distance of being separated by between two sensors; Eliminating mobile robot's operation end at welding tip place, the welding stress of welding initial point, Mobile welding equipment, to post respectively reflector plate 6(be reflector plate C), 7(is reflector plate D), 8(is reflector plate A), 9(is reflector plate B), coordinate range finding with above-mentioned distance measuring sensor, one of them distance measuring sensor detects respectively the distance between reference point and welding initial point, reference point and welding tip, and another distance measuring sensor detects respectively the distance between reference point and welding initial point, reference point and welding stress elimination mobile robot operation end; In the system running, motor is constant speed rotary ceaselessly, and distance measuring sensor constantly detects the distance of welding tip and reference point, and take reference point as the center of circle, reference point, welding initial point, the formed angle of welding transfer point, thus the motion track of welding tip with respect to reference point obtained; Distance measuring sensor detects in real time welding stress and eliminates the distance of mobile robot's operation end and reference point simultaneously, and take reference point as the center of circle, reference point, welding starting point, stress are eliminated the formed angle of transfer point, thereby obtain welding stress and eliminate the motion track of mobile robot's operation end with respect to reference point, above-mentioned two tracks are compared, can obtain welding stress elimination mobile robot operation end and depart from distance and the direction of welding line, and by control system, rectify a deviation.Welding stress is eliminated the mobile robot and is adopted wheeled mobile robot as body,, by the differential robot location's coarse positioning of realizing of two-wheeled, adopts crosshead shoe as stress cancel job end Locating driver mechanism, realizes the precision positioning of stress cancel job end.
Specific as follows: take two dimensional surface bending or straight weld as example, as shown in Figure 1.Synchronous motor is wherein arranged, distance measuring sensor F, distance measuring sensor E, reflector plate A, B, C, D, Mobile welding equipment (containing welding tip), stress eliminate the mobile robot (contain electronic compass, stress abatement apparatus operation end can adopt electromagnetic hammer or ultrasonic impact first-class).Distance measuring sensor E, F are fixed on motor shaft, with motor coaxle rotation, the segment distance of being separated by between E, F.E, F and corresponding reflector plate are avoided the phase mutual interference by being arranged on differing heights, and adopt laser or the infrared light of different modulating frequency to avoid interference.Weld seam is planar-two-dimensional weld seam mixing, and the black interstitial wire is welding line, and all the other are welding line not.A mark post is holded up in the welding starting point, and reflector plate C, D are fixed on mark post, the segment distance of being separated by between C, D.The center of reflector plate A, C and distance measuring sensor F on a horizontal plane, when distance measuring sensor F and reflector plate A, C are just relative, can measure the distance of FA, FC.The center of reflector plate B, D and distance measuring sensor E on a horizontal plane, when distance measuring sensor E and reflector plate B, D are just relative, can measure the distance of EB, ED.For avoiding the interference such as arc light in laser beam welding, the distance measuring sensor setting height(from bottom) is higher than welding tip, and employing specific modulation frequency is avoided the interference of arc light and plasma resonance.
For the purpose of easy analysis, draw the measuring principle diagrammatic top view as shown in 3.If synchronous motor drives distance measuring sensor E, F and turns clockwise, transfer point A moves in the counterclockwise direction.Transfer point A initial position is A0, and welding equipment is along in the weld movement process, the continuous high-speed rotating scanning of distance measuring sensor.
Can obtain the distance L 0 that A0 point and F are ordered.If when the light that F sends process C point and A0 point, can export two high level pulses by interface circuit and see Fig. 4.If when initial, welding tip is still in A0 place, position, starting phase angle ∠ CFA
0Be designated as α
0Start the high-frequency impulse counting during light process A, stop counting while arriving C.If motor speed is constant, and rotate in a circle that to fill high-frequency impulse be N.And the high-frequency impulse that can record angle representative between A0 and C by controller is counted N0, can calculate:
The L that in like manner can survey
1, ∠ CFA
1, L
2, ∠ CFA
2Therefore under can real time record, welding tip be with respect to change of distance track (L1, L2, the L3 of reference position ...) and angle variation track (∠ CFA
0, ∠ CFA
1, ∠ CFA
2), obtain the track (prerequisite is to be defaulted as welding tip to have higher weld joint tracking precision) at weld seam center by match.
Adopt said method, adopt sensor E to coordinate with reflector plate B, D, detect in real time the position of stress abatement apparatus operation end, can obtain change of distance track and the angle variation track of stress abatement apparatus operation end with respect to reference position.The track of stress abatement apparatus operation end orbit and welding tip is compared, can obtain the angle and distance (taking reference position as benchmark) that stress abatement apparatus operation end departs from the weld seam center.Eliminate on the mobile robot electronic compass is installed at stress simultaneously, can obtain the pose of robot with respect to reference position, this moment can be by the motion control to robot, reduce the deviation of robot current location and match track, make stress abatement apparatus operation end aim at all the time weld seam and (when adopting the hammering mode, by the electromagnetic hammer tup, postwelding still is in the toe of weld of the condition of high temperature and the hammer force that the weld metal zone metal applies certain frequency.When adopting ultrasonic impact, by the ultrasonic impact head, realize that toe of weld or full welding bead cover type impact.Therefore the motion track of stress abatement apparatus operation end, actually along the weld seam centrode, or the toe of weld track, depending on concrete process of eliminating stress.)
Constant scanning locate mode postwelding weld joint tracking of the present invention and residual stress are eliminated system, and under the laser weld operating mode, E, F can adopt the less infrared distance sensor of range.Because during Laser Welding, the cooling velocity of weld metal is faster than normal welding, can reach 106 ℃/s, welding gun and stress abatement apparatus distance can be nearer, in welding, can implement the processing such as hammering, impact after the short time later.Under other welding manners, E, F can adopt and can adopt laser sensor, to realize long weld seam, follow the tracks of on a large scale.
