Research on Prediction and Optimization of Process Parameters for Robotic Arc Welding

  • 摘要: 针对机械臂氩弧焊中工艺参数与焊缝性能存在的高维非线性耦合问题,本研究设计了四因素(焊接速度、气体流速、焊接电流、摆动幅度)五水平的正交试验方案,以熔宽和熔深作为关键焊缝性能指标,构建了系统的实验数据集。基于该数据,对比分析了多种数据驱动预测模型的性能,结果表明,所提出的BP神经网络与信念规则库(BP–BRB)混合模型在测试集上表现出最优的预测精度,其预测结果的均方误差(MSE)总和由传统BP模型的1.661445显著降低至1.042846,精度提升约37.23%,有效提升了对复杂焊接过程的建模能力。进一步地,在工艺参数多目标优化方面,对比了粒子群优化(PSO)、遗传算法(GA)及其组合算法(PSO–GA)的优化效果。实验结果显示,PSO–GA组合算法在收敛速度与全局寻优能力上均表现更优,相较于单一PSO和GA算法,其综合优化效果分别提升了约28.55%和25.99%。研究可为机器人氩弧焊工艺参数选取与多目标优化提供数据驱动的参考。

     

    Abstract: This Addressing the high-dimensional nonlinear coupling problem between process parameters and weld performance in robotic arc welding, this study designed an orthogonal experimental scheme with four factors (welding speed, gas flow rate, welding current, and oscillation amplitude) at five levels. Penetration width and depth were selected as key weld performance indicators to construct a systematic experimental dataset. Based on this dataset, the performance of various data-driven predictive models was comparatively analyzed. Results indicate that the proposed hybrid model combining a Back-Propagation neural network with a Belief Rule Base (BP–BRB) achieves the highest prediction accuracy on the test set. The sum of mean squared errors (MSE) is significantly reduced from 1.661445 (achieved by the conventional BP model) to 1.042846, representing an accuracy improvement of approximately 37.23%, thereby effectively enhancing the modeling capability for the complex welding process. Furthermore, for multi-objective optimization of process parameters, the optimization performance of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Genetic Algorithm (GA), and their hybrid algorithm (PSO–GA) was compared. Experimental results demonstrate that the PSO–GA hybrid algorithm exhibits superior convergence speed and global search capability. Compared to the individual PSO and GA algorithms, its comprehensive optimization performance is improved by approximately 28.55% and 25.99%, respectively. This research provides a data-driven reference for the selection and multi-objective optimization of process parameters in robotic TIG welding.
