背景技术Background technique
通常的自动变光滤光镜借助于UV/IR滤光片、偏光片及液晶盒的组合件控制光线的透光率即遮光度,以实现焊接等操作中产生的有害波长的过滤或强光源通过的遮光度控制,其中的液晶盒的设置满足摩根(J.A.Morgan)条件,这样光在通过该液晶层时,其偏振面发生的旋转就与波长无关。或者说,当满足摩根条件时,不同波长的入射光经过液晶层后各自偏振面产生的旋转角度是一样的,旋光率在可见光范围内几乎不变,旋光色散基本消除,或者说这种遮光度控制的液晶组件的伴随色散实现不了确定的色调控制,则一般情况下自动变光的遮光度滤光镜的色调和光源基本一致,可视为单色滤光镜。The usual automatic darkening filter controls the light transmittance or shading degree with the help of a combination of UV/IR filter, polarizer and liquid crystal cell to achieve filtering of harmful wavelengths or strong light sources generated during welding and other operations. Through the opacity control, the liquid crystal cell is set up to meet the J.A. Morgan condition, so that when light passes through the liquid crystal layer, the rotation of its polarization plane is independent of the wavelength. In other words, when the Morgan condition is met, the rotation angles of the polarization planes of the incident light of different wavelengths after passing through the liquid crystal layer are the same, the optical rotation rate is almost unchanged in the visible light range, and the optical rotation dispersion is basically eliminated, or this kind of shading degree If the controlled dispersion of the liquid crystal component cannot achieve definite color tone control, in general, the color tone of the automatically dimming opacity filter is basically the same as that of the light source, and can be regarded as a monochromatic filter.
在实际的使用中,鉴于焊接操作者的视觉喜好不同,因此希望能设置偏暖或偏冷等不同的色调。举例来说,有的希望自动变光滤光镜的色调偏黄,有的希望偏蓝,从而让视觉在焊接工作过程中达到舒适的状态。此外,由于一些焊接操作者因个人原因造成对某些色调的不敏感,因此有必要提供一种使得自动变光滤光镜的色调可设置的组件及其功能,使得自动变光滤光镜能在实现遮光度控制之外还提供确定的色调控制来满足上述要求。In actual use, in view of the different visual preferences of welding operators, it is hoped to set different tones such as warmer or colder. For example, some want the auto-darkening filter to be more yellowish, while others want it to be more bluish, so as to achieve a comfortable visual state during welding work. In addition, since some welding operators are insensitive to certain hues due to personal reasons, it is necessary to provide a component and its function that enable the hue of the automatic darkening filter to be set, so that the automatic darkening filter can In addition to opacity control, defined tone control is provided to meet the above requirements.

在实践操作中,首先启动ADF控制系统20使其进入待机状态,在待机状态下利用工作参数设置单元203预先设置或输入工作参数,并将所述工作参数发送至微控制单元MCU。其中,预先设置或输入的工作参数包括但不限于:焊接参数、ADF工作模式、ADF色调可调颜色设置以及色调调整的输入和显示方式等。进一步地,所述焊接参数包括但并不限于遮光度控制参数、灵敏度控制参数、延时控制参数等,而ADF工作模式包括但并不限于打磨、焊接、切割等。在本申请中,电控双折射液晶盒LCD3在出厂时以高液晶扭曲角(大于90°)和高延迟量(大于600nm)进行设置,以及通过起偏片1021和检偏片1022的适当偏转设置,优选的初始待机色调显示为偏暖色的黄色,并且针对该电控双折射液晶盒LCD3的驱动电压处于0至4V之间。在通电的情况下,由于以上的高延迟量在电压作用下降低,能够实现颜色变成蓝色。而对于色调调整的输入和显示方式而言,工作参数设置单元203可包括按键2031,优选采用选择按键的设置方式对欲调整的色调进行输入,本领域技术人员也可以预想到利用旋钮、电阻式或电容式触摸屏等方式对经由自动变光滤光镜所显示的色调进行调整;此外,上述ADF控制系统20优选地还包括例如LED指示灯204的显示装置。在运行期间,微控制单元MCU将驱动信号发送至LED指示灯204以用于对色调预设的当前设置类型进行显示,例如显示为偏暖色调或偏冷色调,本领域技术人员同样可以预想到以LED、LCD显示屏等方式对色调预设的当前设置类型进行显示。In practical operation, the ADF control system 20 is first started to enter the standby state. In the standby state, the working parameter setting unit 203 is used to preset or input working parameters, and the working parameters are sent to the micro control unit MCU. Among them, the preset or input working parameters include but are not limited to: welding parameters, ADF working mode, ADF hue adjustable color settings, and input and display methods of hue adjustment, etc. Further, the welding parameters include but are not limited to shading control parameters, sensitivity control parameters, delay control parameters, etc., and the ADF working modes include but are not limited to grinding, welding, cutting, etc. In this application, the electronically controlled birefringent liquid crystal cell LCD3 is set at the factory with a high liquid crystal twist angle (greater than 90°) and a high retardation (greater than 600nm), as well as appropriate deflection by the polarizer 1021 and the analyzer 1022 Setting, the preferred initial standby color display is warm yellow, and the driving voltage for the electronically controlled birefringent liquid crystal cell LCD3 is between 0 and 4V. When power is applied, the color changes to blue because the above high delay is reduced under the action of voltage. As for the input and display mode of hue adjustment, the working parameter setting unit 203 can include a button 2031. It is preferable to use a selection button setting method to input the hue to be adjusted.

接下来,由光电传感器检测单元201中的光电传感器对焊接弧光进行检测。当光电传感器未检测到起弧操作时(例如在焊接之前操作者对焊接工件或焊接部位进行确认期间,或是在焊接结束后操作者终止起弧操作的情况下),没有任何起弧(工作)信号产生并被输送至微控制单元MCU,此时ADF控制系统20保持处于初始的待机状态,此时对遮光度控制的正性液晶盒LCD1、LCD2均处于不被加电的状态,此时液晶处于待机的亮态,也就是说操作者能够透过自动变光过滤镜清楚地观察到工作环境及其周围的状况。同时,微控制单元MCU向对电控双折射液晶盒LCD3进行驱动的对应液晶驱动电路输出缺省的色调设置信号,此时该液晶驱动电路输出的电控电压为0V,相应地电控双折射液晶盒LCD3显示上述偏暖色(黄色)的初始待机色调,并且色调LED指示灯显示的是待机状态下预设的色调指示。Next, the welding arc light is detected by the photoelectric sensor in the photoelectric sensor detection unit 201 . When the photoelectric sensor does not detect the arc starting operation (for example, during the operator's confirmation of the welding workpiece or welding site before welding, or when the operator terminates the arc starting operation after the welding is completed), there is no arc starting (work). ) signal is generated and sent to the micro control unit MCU. At this time, the ADF control system 20 remains in the initial standby state. At this time, the positive liquid crystal cells LCD1 and LCD2 that control the shading degree are in a non-powered state. The LCD is in the bright state of standby, which means that the operator can clearly observe the working environment and its surrounding conditions through the automatic darkening filter. At the same time, the micro control unit MCU outputs a default hue setting signal to the corresponding liquid crystal driving circuit that drives the electronically controlled birefringence liquid crystal cell LCD3. At this time, the electronic control voltage output by the liquid crystal driving circuit is 0V, and accordingly the electronically controlled birefringence The liquid crystal box LCD3 displays the above-mentioned warmer (yellow) initial standby tone, and the tone LED indicator displays the preset tone indication in the standby state.
另一方面,当操作者开始焊接而进行起弧操作时,光电传感器检测单元201中的光电传感器检测到焊接弧光并进一步将检测到的起弧信号输送至微控制单元MCU,微控制单元MCU向对正性液晶盒LCD1、LCD2进行驱动的对应液晶驱动电路202输出控制信号,进而对应的液晶驱动电路202分别向正性液晶盒LCD1、LCD2施加一定的电压,LCD1、LCD2内部液晶分子排列状态发生改变,此时入射的线性偏振光的偏振方向将与出射的偏光片的透光轴方向相垂直而被遮挡,从而处于暗态,其中遮光度是基于先前于待机状态下通过工作参数设置单元203预先设置或输入的遮光度控制参数确定的。与此同时,微控制单元MCU还将色调设置信号输出至对电控双折射液晶盒LCD3进行驱动的液晶驱动电路,该液晶驱动电路对电控双折射液晶盒LCD3输出相应的电控电压以将电控双折射液晶盒LCD3设置为预设的工作色调。其中,当预设的工作色调为偏暖色调(黄色)时,该液晶驱动电路202所输出的电控双折射液晶盒LCD3的电控电压优选设置为0V;而当预设的工作色调为偏冷色调(蓝色)时,该液晶驱动电路202所输出的电控双折射液晶盒LCD3的电控电压优选设置为3V。在本申请中,对电控双折射液晶盒LCD3进行驱动的液晶驱动电路202的电控电压设置在0~4V的范围内,以使得自动变光滤光镜的色调可调范围在380~780nm之间,即色调覆盖范围最大可以从红色到紫色,具体颜色的设定可根据对上述液晶驱动电路202的电控电压的调整来实现。On the other hand, when the operator starts welding and performs arc starting operation, the photoelectric sensor in the photoelectric sensor detection unit 201 detects the welding arc light and further transmits the detected arc starting signal to the micro control unit MCU, and the micro control unit MCU sends a signal to the micro control unit MCU. The corresponding liquid crystal driving circuit 202 that drives the positive liquid crystal cells LCD1 and LCD2 outputs a control signal, and then the corresponding liquid crystal driving circuit 202 applies a certain voltage to the positive liquid crystal cells LCD1 and LCD2 respectively, and the alignment state of the liquid crystal molecules inside LCD1 and LCD2 occurs. Change, at this time, the polarization direction of the incident linearly polarized light will be perpendicular to the transmission axis direction of the outgoing polarizer and will be blocked, thereby being in a dark state, where the degree of shading is based on the previous setting unit 203 of the working parameters in the standby state. Determined by preset or input shading control parameters. At the same time, the micro control unit MCU also outputs the hue setting signal to the liquid crystal driving circuit that drives the electronically controlled birefringent liquid crystal cell LCD3. The liquid crystal driving circuit outputs the corresponding electronic control voltage to the electronically controlled birefringent liquid crystal cell LCD3 to control The electronically controlled birefringent liquid crystal cell LCD3 is set to a preset working tone. Among them, when the preset working color tone is warmer (yellow), the electronic control voltage of the electronically controlled birefringent liquid crystal cell LCD3 output by the liquid crystal driving circuit 202 is preferably set to 0V; When the color is cold (blue), the electrical control voltage of the electrically controlled birefringent liquid crystal cell LCD3 output by the liquid crystal driving circuit 202 is preferably set to 3V. In this application, the electronic control voltage of the liquid crystal driving circuit 202 that drives the electronically controlled birefringent liquid crystal cell LCD3 is set in the range of 0~4V, so that the adjustable range of the hue of the automatic darkening filter is 380~780nm. in between, that is, the maximum hue coverage range can be from red to purple, and the specific color setting can be realized according to the adjustment of the electronic control voltage of the above-mentioned liquid crystal driving circuit 202.
综上所述,通过采用本实用新型的技术方案,能够在传统的对遮光度进行控制的自动变光滤光镜的基础上进一步根据焊接操作者的视觉喜好选择性地在不同色调之间进行调节,从而在焊接过程中获得更加舒适的操作体验。In summary, by adopting the technical solution of the present invention, on the basis of the traditional automatic darkening filter that controls the shading degree, it is possible to selectively switch between different tones according to the visual preferences of the welding operator. Adjustment for a more comfortable operating experience during welding.
需要说明的是,以上仅以优选实施例为示例对本实用新型的原理进行了解释和说明。然而本实用新型并不限于上述优选实施例中的具体结构,而是可以产生各种变型。It should be noted that the principles of the present invention are explained and described above by taking only preferred embodiments as examples. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific structure in the above-mentioned preferred embodiment, but can produce various modifications.
例如,在上述优选实施例中,以两片正性液晶盒LCD1、LCD2为例解释了对遮光度进行控制的液晶盒组件101。然而,本领域技术人员可以想到设置至少一片正性液晶盒。其中在自动变光滤光镜仅设置有一片正性液晶盒用于控制遮光度的情况下,液晶驱动电路可以以高压低频的状态工作以实现单液晶片的低成本以及在透光率较高时获得相对较好的视野。而当自动变光滤光镜设置两片或更多片正性液晶盒时,对应的液晶驱动电路可以以低压高频的状态工作,此时多片液晶盒的自动变光滤光镜可以通过部分改变液晶分子的扭曲状态调节暗态时光线的透光率。For example, in the above preferred embodiment, the liquid crystal cell assembly 101 for controlling the shading degree is explained by taking two positive liquid crystal cells LCD1 and LCD2 as an example. However, those skilled in the art can think of providing at least one positive liquid crystal cell. Among them, when the automatic darkening filter is only equipped with a positive liquid crystal cell to control the shading degree, the liquid crystal driving circuit can work at high voltage and low frequency to achieve the low cost of a single liquid crystal cell and high light transmittance. Get a relatively good view. When the automatic darkening filter is equipped with two or more positive liquid crystal cells, the corresponding liquid crystal drive circuit can work at low voltage and high frequency. At this time, the automatic darkening filter of the multi-piece liquid crystal cell can pass Partially changes the twisted state of liquid crystal molecules to adjust the transmittance of light in the dark state.
另外,在图1所示的优选实施例中,每个正性液晶盒101a、101b在沿着光线行进方向的两侧分别设置偏光片1011a、1012a以及1011b、1012b,所述偏光片借助于压敏胶固定于正性液晶盒两侧且具有大致垂直的偏振方向。对应的液晶驱动电路施加垂直电场控制液晶层内的液晶分子旋转以改变入射的外界光的透过率。在此情况下,每片正性液晶盒连同其两侧的偏光片可以作为一整体以模块化的方式制作。换言之,对于优选实施例中的正性液晶盒LCD1、LCD2而言可以连同其两侧的偏光片制作成模块化部件,进而将多个模块化部件以层叠方式布置以制成对遮光度进行控制的液晶盒组件101。可替代地,可以在多个正性液晶盒彼此之间设置公用的偏光片,也就是说,在任意两个相邻的正性液晶盒之间的偏光片既用作为位于相对外侧的正性液晶盒的出光侧的偏光片,同时又作用为位于相对内侧的正性液晶盒的入光侧的偏光片。在这种情况下,可以通过使得位于正性液晶盒组件最外侧和最内侧的两个偏振片的偏振方向相对于位于正性液晶盒间的偏振片的偏振方向的法向偏移而得到暗态下更均匀的遮光度,从而方便操作者观察所加工物件的细节。In addition, in the preferred embodiment shown in Figure 1, each positive liquid crystal cell 101a, 101b is provided with polarizers 1011a, 1012a and 1011b, 1012b respectively on both sides along the light traveling direction. The polarizers are pressed by Sensitive glue is fixed on both sides of the positive liquid crystal cell and has a roughly vertical polarization direction. The corresponding liquid crystal driving circuit applies a vertical electric field to control the rotation of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer to change the transmittance of incident external light. In this case, each positive liquid crystal cell and the polarizers on both sides thereof can be manufactured in a modular manner as a whole. In other words, the positive liquid crystal cells LCD1 and LCD2 in the preferred embodiment can be made into modular components together with the polarizers on both sides, and then multiple modular components can be arranged in a stacked manner to control the shading degree. The liquid crystal cell assembly 101. Alternatively, a common polarizer can be provided between a plurality of positive liquid crystal cells, that is, the polarizer between any two adjacent positive liquid crystal cells serves as both a positive polarizer located on the opposite side and The polarizer on the light exit side of the liquid crystal cell also acts as the polarizer on the light entrance side of the positive liquid crystal cell located on the opposite side. In this case, darkening can be obtained by shifting the polarization directions of the two polarizers located at the outermost and innermost sides of the positive liquid crystal cell assembly relative to the normal direction of the polarization direction of the polarizer located between the positive liquid crystal cells. The shading degree is more uniform in the state, making it easier for the operator to observe the details of the processed objects.
另外,本申请的电控双折射液晶盒并不对其中液晶分子的排列方式进行限制,根据需要可以采用DAP方式(液晶分子的长轴相对于夹置液晶分子的基片面垂直排列)、沿面排列方式(液晶分子的长轴相对于夹置液晶分子的基片面平行排列)和HAN方式(液晶分子的长轴在一侧基片面垂直排列,而在另一侧基片面平行排列)。In addition, the electronically controlled birefringent liquid crystal cell of the present application does not limit the arrangement of the liquid crystal molecules in it. The DAP method (the long axis of the liquid crystal molecules is arranged perpendicularly to the substrate surface on which the liquid crystal molecules are sandwiched) and the along-plane arrangement can be used as needed. (the long axes of the liquid crystal molecules are arranged parallel to the surface of the substrate on which the liquid crystal molecules are sandwiched) and the HAN mode (the long axes of the liquid crystal molecules are arranged vertically on one side of the substrate and parallel to the other side of the substrate).
