摘　　要：针对熔深间接测量方法测量精度低的问题,基于光学相干层析(OCT)的激光焊接熔深监测方法通过直接测量熔池小孔深度,实现在线质量监测。该方法基于低相干干涉精密测距原理,将测量光束与焊接光束同轴,具有测量精度高、抗干扰能力强的优点。搭建了基于谱域OCT(SD-OCT)的激光焊接熔深测量系统,在深熔焊条件下测量了熔池小孔深度,并应用百分位滤波算法从测量数据中提取出熔深曲线。针对百分位滤波算法的熔深提取精度受限于OCT测量数据噪声点和该算法需要根据焊接工况来调整滤波参数等问题,提出了一种基于局部离群因子(LOF)和最大值滤波的OCT熔深提取方法,通过与焊缝纵切面的熔深曲线对比发现,熔深提取精度最大提升了32%。实验结果表明,所提方法可有效提高熔深提取精度,且不需要调整算法滤波参数,适用性更强。Objective With the development of the new energy vehicle industry,laser welding has been widely used in the manufacturing of power batteries for its fast welding speed,small heataffected zones,and high degree of automation.During laser welding,the welding depth fluctuates because of the involved process parameters and impact factors,which produce defects such as insufficient welding depth and burn through.In order to avoid these defects,online monitoring of the laser welding depth is necessary to achieve quality monitoring.The indirect methods based on the various signals such as optical radiation,visual image,and acoustic wave in the process zone are easily affected by the welding process and cannot ensure high accuracy of the welding depth measurement.A laser welding depth monitoring method based on optical coherence tomography(OCT)directly measures the depth of the keyhole in the molten pool under deeppenetration welding conditions.This method is based on low coherence interferometry and aligns the measuring beam with the processing beam,which has the advantages of high measurement accuracy and strong antiinterference ability.The dynamic changes in the keyhole lead to the scattered distribution of the raw OCT data,and the postprocessing of the raw OCT data is required to reveal the welding depth.The percentile filter is confirmed to be viable to process the raw OCT data.The accuracy of the welding depth extraction by using this method is easily affected by the noise of raw OCT data,and filter parameters are needed to adapt to different welding conditions.In order to solve the aforementioned problems,an OCT welding depth extraction method based on local outlier factor(LOF)and maximum filter is proposed in this paper.This is done by first detecting the noise points of raw OCT data using LOF and then applying the maximum filter to the cleaned OCT data.Methods Firstly,this paper builds a laser welding depth measurement system based on SDOCT and measures the keyhole depth under deeppenetration welding conditions.A
