Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of ultrasonic assisted machining and frequency tracking, and more particularly, to a high-precision frequency tracking device and method for rotary ultrasonic assisted machining. BACKGROUND

[0002] Rotary ultrasonic assisted machining is a high-efficiency and high-precision machining technology, which is widely used in the machining of hard and brittle materials. The existing ultrasonic machining system mainly consists of an ultrasonic power supply, a non-contact power transmission unit, a transducer, and a clamped tool. The function of the ultrasonic power supply is to convert the 50Hz commercial power into an alternating current with adjustable frequency and matching the resonant frequency of the transducer in series. The non-contact power transmission unit is mainly composed of a loosely coupled transformer, which transmits electrical energy to the transducer in a non-contact manner. The transducer is a device that converts high-frequency alternating current into high-frequency vibration. In actual ultrasonic assisted machining process, the resonant frequency of the transducer often changes due to sudden changes in load force, temperature rise of the transducer, tool wear, etc., which leads to a decrease in output amplitude and affects the machining quality. Long-term misalignment can even reduce the service life of the transducer. In addition, when the resonant frequency of the transducer changes, the matching circuit of the non-contact power transmission unit is invalid. At this time, the phase difference between the voltage and current at the resonant frequency of the transducer is often not zero. Therefore, a high-precision frequency tracking method and device are needed.

[0003] The commonly used frequency tracking technology at present is based on the hardware phase-locked loop method. First, the phase difference between the voltage signal and the current signal in the transducer circuit is detected, and then the output frequency is adjusted to the frequency point where the phase difference is zero through methods such as bisection and variable step size algorithm. However, since the transducer works at series resonance frequency and parallel resonance frequency, the phase difference between the voltage signal and the current signal is zero, and only when it works at series resonance frequency, the output power of the ultrasonic machining system can reach the maximum. Therefore, the existing phase-locked loop technology often appears the situation of false locking frequency. In addition, a Chinese patent with the patent number CN110702971B discloses an ultrasonic driving power supply and real-time frequency tracking method for automatically tracking the series resonance frequency of the transducer. The method acquires the peak value of the current flowing through the filter capacitor and the sampling resistor and their phase difference, and then calculates the relationship that the current needs to satisfy when the transducer dynamic branch is in series resonance. Whether the relationship is zero is used as the basis for adjusting the frequency. Although this method avoids the false locking of the ultrasonic power supply to the parallel resonance frequency of the transducer, the calculation accuracy of the relationship is seriously dependent on the accuracy of the filter capacitor value and the accuracy of the transducer static capacitance.

Finally, a PI algorithm is used to adjust the frequency of the control signal so that the phase difference between the voltage and current equals the target phase difference θ sent by the host computer. 目标 θ 目标 The corresponding control signal frequency is the series resonant frequency of the transducer.

[0056] The host computer 2 receives the cutting force data measured by the force measuring instrument 10, and then substitutes the current cutting force data into the formula for the change of the resonant frequency of the loosely coupled transformer and transducer circuit with the load force, thereby obtaining the phase value of the loosely coupled transformer and transducer circuit under the current cutting force, i.e., the phase difference θ of the phase-locked loop. 目标And sent to the microcontroller 1.

Compensation circuit is composed of first compensation capacitor 6 and second compensation capacitor 8, which is used to compensate the loosely coupled transformer 7 from both sides. After double side compensation, the resonant frequency of loosely coupled transformer 7 and transducer 9 loop is equal to the series resonant frequency of transducer 9 in no load state.
