The laser processing equipment at least comprises a laser 101, a nozzle 103 and a gas source 104; the laser 101 is used for emitting light pulses which can pass through the nozzle 103 to perform laser cutting on a workpiece; the gas source 104 is used for supplying gas for blowing gas from the nozzle 103 to a slot formed by laser cutting of the workpiece.
The sound collection equipment is installed on the laser processing equipment and used for collecting sound signals aiming at the laser processing equipment. The sound signal may include system internal noise of the laser processing apparatus, sound generated when the laser of the laser 101 irradiates the workpiece, and/or sound generated when the air flow output from the nozzle 103 flows through a slit formed by laser cutting of the workpiece.
Optionally, the laser processing apparatus may further include a laser cutting head 102, the laser 101 may be connected to the laser cutting head 102, for example, the laser 101 may be connected to the laser cutting head 102 through an optical fiber, the laser 101 may emit a light pulse and then output the light pulse through the laser cutting head 102, and the laser cutting head 102 may be aligned with the workpiece to perform laser cutting.

The gas source 10 is a gas cylinder for oxygen, air and/or nitrogen, such as an oxygen cylinder, and the gas may be oxygen, air and/or nitrogen, although not specifically limited, and may be specifically determined according to a processing material, such as a stainless steel processing material may use compressed air or nitrogen, which is relatively low in cost; the carbon steel processing material can use oxygen, can play a role in oxidation and reduction, and can release heat to facilitate cutting.

Since the sound signals in good or bad processing have different frequencies, the host computer 106 can determine the processing quality of the laser processing apparatus by identifying the frequencies of the sound signals, for example, when the frequency of the sound signal is different from the sound frequency in normal processing by more than a set range, it can determine that the processing of the laser processing apparatus is abnormal, i.e., the processing of the laser processing apparatus is bad, which is only an example here.
When the laser processing equipment is used for processing normally, the processed workpiece is cut completely and has a smooth section. The poor processing conditions may include the following:

2. after cutting completely, adhering slag at the bottom;
3. after cutting through, the melted metal is re-solidified due to insufficient blowing and is accumulated inside the cross section of the workpiece;
4. the light path is not perpendicular to the material, so that the light path can be cut through or not cut through in different directions.
Of course, there may be other situations where the laser processing equipment does not process well, and they are not listed here.
In any case, the sound signals are different from each other in comparison with the normal condition, mainly because the sound wave resonant frequencies are different when the airflow flows through the slots with different depths, widths and side wall shapes.

Preferably, the upper computer 106 may execute the laser processing quality monitoring method shown in fig. 2, so as to better monitor the laser processing quality. The method comprises the following steps:
s100: in the process that laser processing equipment processes a first workpiece, sound acquisition equipment is controlled to acquire sound signals aiming at the laser processing equipment, and first sound signals formed by processing and acquired by the sound acquisition equipment in each monitoring period are acquired;
s200: extracting a first set of characteristic frequencies of the first sound signal from the first sound signal;
s300: obtaining a third characteristic frequency from the first characteristic frequency set based on the determined first characteristic frequency and the second characteristic frequency; the first characteristic frequency is a characteristic frequency of system internal noise of the laser processing equipment, the second characteristic frequency is a frequency of light pulses emitted by a laser in the laser processing equipment, and the third characteristic frequency is used for representing a characteristic frequency of sound generated when air flow output by a nozzle in the laser processing equipment flows through a cutting seam formed by laser cutting of the first workpiece in a monitoring period when the first sound signal is collected;
s400: and determining whether the current machining of the first workpiece by the laser machining equipment is abnormal or not according to the third characteristic frequency and a determined fourth characteristic frequency, wherein the fourth characteristic frequency is the characteristic frequency of sound generated when the airflow output by the nozzle flows through a slot formed by laser cutting of the second workpiece when the laser machining equipment machines the second workpiece normally.
With reference to fig. 1, the main execution body of the laser processing quality monitoring method according to the embodiment of the present invention is the upper computer 106, and further may be a processor of the upper computer 106, where the processor may be one or more, and the processor may be a general processor or a special processor.
In step S100, in the process of processing the first workpiece 10 by the laser processing apparatus, the sound collection apparatus is controlled to collect sound signals for the laser processing apparatus, and first sound signals formed by processing collected by the sound collection apparatus in each monitoring period are obtained.
The first workpiece 10 may be any workpiece to be machined, and a series of sounds are usually emitted during the machining of the first workpiece 10 by the laser machining apparatus, including system internal noise of the laser machining apparatus, sounds emitted by the laser 101 when light pulses irradiate the first workpiece 10, and sounds generated when the air flow output from the nozzle 103 flows through a slot formed by cutting the first workpiece 10.
The sound signal is collected by controlling the sound collecting device to the laser processing device in the process, so that the series of sounds can be collected, and the upper computer 106 can obtain the sound signals. In other words, the first sound signal contains the series of sounds described above.
The machining here is laser cutting of the first workpiece 10 by the light pulse emitted from the laser 101, and blowing of the slit cut out of the first workpiece 10 by the air flow output from the nozzle 103. The upper computer 106 can control the laser 101 to emit light pulses and control the air source 104 to supply air for processing. Generally, the laser 101 and the gas source 104 are started and stopped simultaneously.
The process of the laser processing apparatus processing the first workpiece 10 may refer to a period of time from when the laser 101 starts emitting the light pulse to when the laser 101 stops emitting the light pulse; alternatively, the period of time from when the gas source 104 begins supplying gas to when the gas source 104 stops supplying gas.
The duration of the process of processing the first workpiece 10 by the laser processing apparatus is relatively long, for example, several seconds, several tens of seconds, etc., in order to find out the abnormal processing condition in time, in this embodiment, the whole process is divided into a plurality of monitoring periods, and the duration of the monitoring period may be, for example, on the order of milliseconds, for example, 10 milliseconds. In each monitoring period, the first sound signal acquired by the sound acquisition equipment is sent to the upper computer 106 so as to perform subsequent steps
In step S200, a first characteristic frequency set of the first sound signal is extracted from the first sound signal.
The first sound signal is a time domain signal, and the first characteristic frequency set can be obtained by means of time-frequency domain conversion. Preferably, since the duration of the monitoring period is short, the first sound signal may be converted into a frequency domain signal by using a Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) to obtain the first characteristic frequency set.
The first set of characteristic frequencies may be presented in a spectral manner or may be presented in a frequency set manner.
The first characteristic frequency set includes frequencies of sounds collected by the sound collection device during the laser processing, including a characteristic frequency of system internal noise of the laser processing device, a frequency of sound emitted by the laser 101 and irradiated onto the first workpiece 10 by a light pulse, and a characteristic frequency of sound generated when an air flow output from the nozzle 103 of the laser processing device flows through a slit formed by laser cutting of the first workpiece 10 during a monitoring period of the first sound signal.
In step S300, a third characteristic frequency is obtained from the first characteristic frequency set based on the determined first characteristic frequency and the second characteristic frequency; the first characteristic frequency is the characteristic frequency of the system internal noise of the laser processing equipment, the second characteristic frequency is the frequency of the light pulse emitted by the laser 101 in the laser processing equipment, and the third characteristic frequency is used for representing the characteristic frequency of the sound generated when the airflow output by the nozzle 103 in the laser processing equipment flows through the slot formed by the laser cutting of the first workpiece 10 in the monitoring period of acquiring the first sound signal.
The system internal noise of the laser processing apparatus may include sound of the driver operation, electrical noise (including electrical noise of various lines or devices), and the like. The system internal noise of the laser processing apparatus is generally constant regardless of whether the workpiece is processed or not, and accordingly, the characteristic frequency of the system internal noise of the laser processing apparatus is also constant. Therefore, the characteristic frequency of the system internal noise of the laser processing apparatus, i.e., the first characteristic frequency, can be determined in advance.
Optionally, the first characteristic frequency is determined by:
when the laser processing equipment runs but does not carry out processing operation, controlling sound acquisition equipment to acquire sound signals aiming at the laser processing equipment and acquiring a second sound signal, acquired by the sound acquisition equipment within a set time length, formed by the running of the laser processing equipment;
and extracting the characteristic frequency of the second sound signal from the second sound signal to obtain a first characteristic frequency.
The laser processing apparatus operating but not performing the processing operation means that the laser processing apparatus is in an operating state but the laser 101 and the gas source 104 are not operated. In this case, system internal noise of the laser processing apparatus may be collected, and the second acoustic signal may characterize the system internal noise of the laser processing apparatus.
The second sound signal is a time domain signal, and the second sound signal can be converted into a frequency domain signal by adopting a fourier transform mode to obtain the first characteristic frequency.
It is understood that the frequencies of different noises may be different, and therefore, the first characteristic frequency may be composed of a plurality of different frequencies, as long as the frequencies of the system internal noise of the laser processing apparatus can be covered, which is not limited specifically.
The frequency of the sound radiated onto the first workpiece 10 by the light pulse emitted from the laser 101 is the same as the frequency of the light pulse emitted from the laser 101. Because the laser 101 emits light not continuously but individually, and the frequency of the light pulse emitted by the laser 101 is controlled by the upper computer 106, for example, the laser 101 can be controlled by the upper computer 106 to emit laser with a frequency of 5000Hz, at this time, 5000 light pulses are emitted every second, and the laser can emit sound with the same frequency, that is, sound with a frequency of 5000Hz when striking on the workpiece. The frequency of the pulses of light emitted by the laser 101 is also generally constant, and predictable, if at all, whether the workpiece is being machined good or bad. Therefore, the frequency of the sound of the light pulse emitted by the laser 101 impinging on the first workpiece 10, that is, the frequency of the light pulse emitted by the laser 101, that is, the second characteristic frequency, can be determined in advance.
However, the sound of the ejected air flow passing through the slit of the first workpiece 10 during the machining process varies depending on the quality of the machining.
As shown in fig. 3, when the machining is normal, since the height of the nozzle 103 (the distance from the nozzle 103 to the machined part) is almost constant, the blowing air pressure is almost constant, and the slit width is almost constant throughout the process, the frequency of sound generated by the air flow passing through the slit is almost constant (varies within a small range).
When the processing is poor, the nozzle 103 shakes up and down, the gas pressure of the gas passing through the slit changes, the slit width changes, and even if the gas is cut tight (the gas cannot pass through the slit) seriously, the frequency of the sound signal changes sharply. Since there are many kinds of defects, the frequency of the sound signal is not a very constant value when the processing is defective. As shown in fig. 4, the air flow passes through the nozzle 103, but due to poor machining and no cutting through the slit, the air flow returns upward, and the sound frequency at this time is greatly different from that at the time of normal machining.
Therefore, the processing quality can be determined based on the characteristic frequency of the sound generated when the air flow output from the nozzle 103 flows through the slit formed by the laser cutting of the first workpiece 10.
Whether the machining is good or bad, the system internal noise of the laser machining apparatus, the sound of the light pulse emitted from the laser 101 impinging on the workpiece are always present, and the frequency is always constant or substantially constant, so that it can be determined in advance that the first characteristic frequency and the second characteristic frequency obtain the third characteristic frequency from the first characteristic frequency set based on the first characteristic frequency and the second characteristic frequency.
Optionally, obtaining a third eigenfrequency from the first eigenfrequency set based on the determined first eigenfrequency and the second eigenfrequency may include the following steps:
filtering out a first characteristic frequency and a second characteristic frequency from the first characteristic frequency set;
and determining the frequency component with the largest proportion in the filtered characteristic frequencies as a third characteristic frequency.
After the first characteristic frequency and the second characteristic frequency are filtered from the first characteristic frequency set, more characteristic frequencies may exist, and the frequency component with the largest ratio is determined as the third characteristic frequency.
The frequency component with the maximum ratio is explained by the angle of the frequency spectrum, the abscissa of the frequency spectrum represents the frequency, the ordinate of the frequency spectrum represents the density, and the third characteristic frequency is the frequency component with the maximum density in the frequency spectrum formed by filtering the obtained characteristic frequency.
In step S400, it is determined whether the current machining of the first workpiece 10 by the laser machining apparatus is abnormal according to the third characteristic frequency and a determined fourth characteristic frequency, where the fourth characteristic frequency is a characteristic frequency of a sound generated when the airflow output by the nozzle 103 flows through a slot formed by laser cutting of the second workpiece when the machining of the second workpiece by the laser machining apparatus is normal.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 5, the fourth characteristic frequency is determined by:
t100: in the process that the laser processing equipment processes a second workpiece, controlling sound collection equipment to collect sound signals aiming at the laser processing equipment, and acquiring third sound signals collected by the sound collection equipment in the process;
t200: when the laser processing equipment is determined to be processing the second workpiece normally, extracting a second characteristic frequency set of the third sound signal from the third sound signal;
t300: filtering the first and second characteristic frequencies from the second set of characteristic frequencies;
t400: and determining the frequency component with the largest proportion in the filtered characteristic frequencies as the fourth characteristic frequency.
The above-described steps T100-T400 may be performed before step S100.
Since there may be multiple machining locations on one workpiece, the first workpiece 10 and the second workpiece may be the same workpiece but the two machining locations are different, or the first workpiece 10 and the second workpiece may be different workpieces. When the second workpiece and the first workpiece 10 are different workpieces, the second workpiece and the first workpiece 10 have the same material and thickness.
When the fourth characteristic frequency is determined, the requirement of real-time performance is not required, so that the processing process does not need to be divided into a plurality of monitoring periods, and the sound signal acquired by the sound acquisition device in the whole process of processing the second workpiece by the laser processing device can be used as the third sound signal.
When the processing is completed, if the laser processing device processes the second workpiece normally, the third sound signal at this time is in line with expectation, and the second characteristic frequency set of the third sound signal can be extracted from the third sound signal.
The third sound signal is a time domain signal, and the fourier transform may be used to convert the third sound signal into a frequency domain signal to obtain a second characteristic frequency set.
The second characteristic frequency set includes a characteristic frequency of system internal noise of the laser processing apparatus (i.e., the first characteristic frequency), a frequency of a sound of the laser 101 emitting the optical pulse impinging on the second workpiece (since the frequency of the optical pulse is not changed, the frequency here is also the second characteristic frequency), and a characteristic frequency of a sound generated when the air flow output from the nozzle 103 flows through a slit formed by laser cutting of the second workpiece during processing of the second workpiece by the laser processing apparatus.
After the first characteristic frequency and the second characteristic frequency are filtered from the second characteristic frequency set, the characteristic frequency of the sound generated when the airflow output by the nozzle 103 flows through the slot formed by the laser cutting of the second workpiece in the process of processing the second workpiece by the laser processing equipment can be obtained, and of course, there may be more characteristic frequencies, and the frequency component with the largest ratio among the characteristic frequencies is determined as the fourth characteristic frequency.
Knowing the frequency of sound when the air flow outputted from the nozzle 103 flows through the slit of the workpiece when the machining is normal, i.e., the fourth characteristic frequency, it is possible to determine whether the laser machining is abnormal based on the fourth characteristic frequency.
In one embodiment, the step S400 of determining whether the current machining of the first workpiece 10 by the laser machining apparatus is abnormal according to the third characteristic frequency and the determined fourth characteristic frequency includes:
checking whether the third characteristic frequency meets a first condition, wherein the first condition is as follows: the third characteristic frequency is less than or equal to a fifth characteristic frequency or more than or equal to a sixth characteristic frequency, wherein the fifth characteristic frequency is a product of a first coefficient and a fourth characteristic frequency, the sixth characteristic frequency is a product of a second coefficient and a fourth characteristic frequency, the first coefficient is less than 1, and the second coefficient is more than 1;
if yes, the current processing abnormity of the first workpiece 10 by the laser processing equipment is determined.
For example, the third characteristic frequency satisfying the first condition may be represented in the following manner:
f≤0.9Fn2or 1.1Fn2≤f
Wherein F represents a first characteristic frequency, Fn2Representing the fourth eigenfrequency, the first coefficient is 0.9 and the second coefficient is 1.1. It is to be understood that the first condition is exemplary only, not limiting, and that certain modifications are possible within the scope of sound.
In this embodiment, if the third characteristic frequency meets the first condition, it is determined that the laser processing apparatus is currently abnormal in processing the first workpiece 10; if not, the laser processing device processes the first workpiece 10 normally.
In another embodiment, the step S400 of determining whether the current machining of the first workpiece 10 by the laser machining apparatus is abnormal according to the third characteristic frequency and the determined fourth characteristic frequency includes:
checking whether the third characteristic frequency meets a first condition, wherein the first condition is as follows: the third characteristic frequency is less than or equal to a fifth characteristic frequency or more than or equal to a sixth characteristic frequency, wherein the fifth characteristic frequency is a product of a first coefficient and a fourth characteristic frequency, the sixth characteristic frequency is a product of a second coefficient and a fourth characteristic frequency, the first coefficient is less than 1, and the second coefficient is more than 1;
if yes, when the third characteristic frequency in the N monitoring periods is continuously checked to meet the first condition, N is greater than 1, and it is determined that the laser processing equipment is abnormal in processing the first workpiece 10 currently.
In the above embodiment, only the case in one monitoring period is referred to, and there is a possibility that an error exists. Therefore, in this embodiment, if the third characteristic frequency meets the first condition, the current processing abnormality of the laser processing apparatus on the first workpiece 10 is not directly determined, but the condition of the N monitoring periods is referred to, and when the third characteristic frequency in the N monitoring periods has been continuously checked to meet the first condition, the current processing abnormality of the laser processing apparatus on the first workpiece 10 is determined, so that the monitoring result can be ensured to be more accurate.
N is greater than 1, such as 100, although this is merely an example and not a limitation.
In the above embodiment, the process of processing the first workpiece 10 by the laser processing apparatus is divided into a plurality of monitoring periods, the sound collection apparatus may collect the first sound signal from the laser processing apparatus in each monitoring period, and after the first characteristic frequency set is extracted from the first sound signal, the characteristic frequency (i.e., the third characteristic frequency) of the sound generated when the airflow output by the nozzle 103 of the laser processing apparatus flows through the slit formed by laser cutting of the first workpiece 10 in the monitoring period, where the airflow output by the nozzle 103 of the laser processing apparatus in the monitoring period where the first sound signal is collected, is collected from the first characteristic frequency set based on the condition that the system internal noise of the laser processing apparatus is not changed and the frequency of the light pulse emitted by the laser 101 of the laser processing apparatus is not changed, and the third characteristic frequency may be regarded as a real-time characteristic frequency, and is high in real-time performance, and based on the third characteristic frequency, And when the laser processing equipment is used for processing the second workpiece normally, the characteristic frequency (namely, the fourth characteristic frequency) of the sound generated when the airflow output by the nozzle 103 flows through the slot formed by laser cutting of the second workpiece determines whether the current processing of the laser processing equipment on the first workpiece 10 is abnormal or not, so that the abnormal processing condition of the laser processing equipment can be timely monitored, the first workpiece 10 does not need to be inspected by naked eyes after being completely processed, the whole workpiece can be prevented from being scrapped, and the loss is reduced.
In one embodiment, the laser processing quality monitoring system may further include an alarm (not shown), which is connected to the upper computer 106; the upper computer 106 is also used for controlling an alarm to give an alarm when the laser processing equipment is abnormal in processing.
