[0057] like Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the composite workbench 10 is installed in the middle of the bed, and the composite workbench 10 includes a vertical servo rotating shaft 34. A workbench protection ring 33 is provided on the outside of the vertical servo rotating shaft 34 to ensure the safety of the staff. The vertical servo rotating shaft 34 is used to realize the swinging process of the femoral ball part 21. A servo motor and a lead screw pair 24 are installed above the vertical servo rotating shaft 34, and an upper slider connecting the adjustment plate 28 is movably installed on the servo motor and the lead screw pair 24. The workpiece servo feed slide 32 moves together with the upper slider connecting the adjustment plate 28 to realize the linear feeding of the femoral ball part 21. The workpiece servo spindle module 1 is installed above the workpiece servo feed slide 32.

[0058] In this embodiment, the steps for realizing the rotation, fine-tuning feed and swinging functions of the femoral ball part 21 include: first installing the workpiece servo spindle module 1 on the workpiece servo feed slide 32 of the compound workbench 10, and then clamping the femoral ball part 21 on the workpiece servo spindle module 1; the workpiece servo spindle module 1 can set the spindle speed and direction according to the workpiece grinding needs, and the parameters of the workpiece servo spindle module 1 are controlled by the control system; the servo fine-tuning feed changes according to the different changes in the center position of the ball of the workpiece series model, and the workpiece servo feed slide 32 on the compound workbench 10 is controlled by the numerical control system to realize the axial fine adjustment of the workpiece; the swinging function of the workpiece is realized by controlling the rotation of the vertical servo rotating axis 34 on the compound workbench 10 by the numerical control system.

[0059] The vertical servo rotating shaft 34 and the workpiece servo feed slide 32 in the composite workbench 10 have an accuracy of 0.001mm, realizing the axial micro-adjustment function of the workpiece servo spindle module 1, while ensuring the swing and rotation function of the horizontal axis and the vertical axis through the center of the sphere of the spherical workpiece. The composite workbench 10 ensures that the Z axis of the spin center of the part is axially adjustable and tangent to the C axis of the revolution center, forming a mathematical model of the spherical motion trajectory. The composite workbench 10 adopts the super-rigidity design principle, the carrier load safety factor is greater than 8-10 times, and the precision life is expected to exceed 10 years.

[0060] An annular guide pair 27 is movably installed below the upper slider connected to the adjustment plate 28, and the annular guide pair 27 can support the workpiece servo feed slide 32 to swing in the horizontal plane under the action of the vertical servo rotating shaft 34. The annular guide pair 27 is installed on the arc-shaped guide support module 12, and the arc-shaped guide support module 12 includes an annular guide mounting support seat 26, and the annular guide mounting support seat 26 is fixedly installed on the bed 9.

[0061] The workpiece servo spindle module 1 is used to realize the axial rotation of the femoral ball component 21, and cooperates with the swing action of the vertical servo rotating shaft 34 in the composite workbench 10 and the linear feed action of the workpiece servo feed slide 32 to realize the grinding of the outer spherical surface of the femoral ball component 21. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the workpiece servo spindle module 1 includes a workpiece internal positioning and clamping fixture 11, a front end flange and a unloading thin cylinder 29, and the femoral ball part 21 to be processed is installed on the workpiece internal positioning and clamping fixture 11.

[0062] The workpiece internal positioning clamping fixture 11 includes a part loosening adjustment rod 25. The part loosening adjustment rod 25 includes an adjusting stud 59, a discharge rod 60 and an end nut 61 connected in sequence. The adjusting stud 59 and the end nut 61 are respectively installed at both ends of the discharge rod 60 and are coaxial with the discharge rod 60. The discharge thin cylinder 29 can abut against one end of the adjusting stud 59. When loading and unloading workpieces, the discharge thin cylinder 29 can push the adjusting stud 59 to move the part loosening adjustment rod 25 to the other side.

[0063] The other side of the end nut 61 is provided with an adjustable positioning cone rod 62 coaxial with the part loosening adjustment rod 25, a fixed double nut 63, a clamping disc spring 64, a workpiece fixture positioning body 65 and an intermediate cone pull rod 66 in sequence. The fixed double nut 63, the clamping disc spring 64 and the adjustable positioning cone rod 62 are sequentially sleeved on the outside of the intermediate cone pull rod 66. The fixed double nut 63 is located on the outside of the end of the intermediate cone pull rod 66 and is fixedly connected to the intermediate cone pull rod 66 by threads. The two ends of the clamping disc spring 64 are in contact with the fixed double nut 63 and the workpiece fixture positioning body 65 respectively. The workpiece fixture positioning body 65 is sleeved on the outside of the adjustable positioning cone rod 62, and the front end face of the workpiece fixture positioning body 65 can be used to position the outer end face of the workpiece. The front end of the adjustable positioning cone rod 62 is provided with a cone surface, and the cone surface portion of the adjustable positioning cone rod 62 extends from the front end of the workpiece fixture positioning body 65, and is positioned with the inner cone surface of the tool-setting standard ceramic ball 67 or the femoral ball part 21. The workpiece fixture positioning body 65 is connected to the front end flange of the workpiece servo spindle module 1 and is fixed by a fixing screw 68. The end of the intermediate cone pull rod 66 can be clamped and installed on the inner end surface of the tool-setting standard ceramic ball 67 or the femoral ball part 21. The positioning surfaces of the femoral ball part 21 are the inner cone surface and the end surface, and must meet the serialization requirements of the product, so the position of the large end size of the taper can be adjusted according to the product requirements, and the use of a disc spring tensioning method can ensure that the clamping force is constant and the accuracy consistency is good.

[0064] The steps for positioning, clamping and loosening the femoral ball part 21 in this embodiment include: installing the workpiece internal positioning clamping fixture 11 on the front end flange of the workpiece servo spindle module 1 and tightening it with a fixing screw 68; the loosening step includes starting the unloading thin cylinder 29 to feed the adjustment stud 59 to push the intermediate cone pull rod 66 through the unloading rod 60 and the end nut 61 to overcome the spring force of the clamping disc spring 64, and the intermediate cone pull rod 66 moves forward to push the workpiece, so that the adjustable positioning cone rod 62 is loosened from the positioning state, and the standard ceramic ball 67 or the femoral ball part 21 can be loaded and unloaded at this time; the clamping step includes reversing the unloading thin cylinder 29, and the elasticity of the clamping disc spring 64 will move the intermediate cone pull rod 66 backward, so that the adjustable positioning cone rod 62 is tightened to achieve workpiece positioning clamping. The positioning and repeated positioning of the femoral ball part 21 in this embodiment are accurate, which can not only improve the processing accuracy, but also provide a basis for the online detection module to obtain accurate data.

[0065] like Figure 9-12As shown, an automatic online detection module 2 is installed above the workpiece servo spindle module 1, and the automatic online detection module 2 includes a base plate, which is fixedly connected to the workpiece servo spindle module 1 below. A double-sided support plate 14 and a middle right-angle vertical plate 16 are fixedly installed on the base plate. A linear guide pair 17 is vertically installed on the double-sided support plate 14, and a transition connecting plate 13 is movably installed on the linear guide pair 17, and is driven by a thin detection cylinder 18 to adjust the vertical position of the transition connecting plate 13. A front and rear adjustment block 19 is connected to the transition connecting plate 13 by bolts, and the position of the front and rear adjustment block 19 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the bolts. A sensor adjustable fixed block 15 is installed on the front and rear adjustment block 19, and the sensor adjustable fixed block 15 can further perform fine adjustment in the vertical direction. A high-resolution linear sensor 3 is installed on the sensor adjustable fixed block 15. The automatic online detection module 2 can adjust multiple structures in different dimensions, which is convenient for processing workpieces of different models.

[0066] The main feature of the grinding process is that the wear of the grinding wheel is uncertain and cannot be accurately confirmed. In order to obtain the processing accuracy under automatic grinding, it is necessary to monitor the dimensional changes of the femoral head in real time during the grinding process and control the processing accuracy of the femoral head by compensating the feeding of the grinding wheel.

[0067] The steps for realizing the online automatic detection and automatic compensation functions in this embodiment include: installing the automatic online detection module 2 on the workpiece servo spindle module 1, and then installing the linear sensor 3 on the adjustable fixed block 15, and then fixing the adjustable fixed block 15 on the front and rear adjustment blocks 19, and then fixing the front and rear adjustment blocks 19 on the transition connecting plate 13, forming a linear motion pair through the transition connecting plate 13 and the detection thin cylinder 18, and assembling the double-sided support plates 14 and the middle right-angle vertical plate 16 into a support positioning frame; when the workpiece rotates, the detection thin cylinder 18 is controlled to change direction, and the linear sensor 3 is sent to the measurement position, the linear sensor 3 automatically measures, and the detection parameters are transmitted to the numerical control system for filing, and the changes in the grinding amount size of the workpiece are detected in real time, and at the same time, they are compared with the internal standard value in real time. When the detection is qualified, it automatically exits, and the number of detections and the compensation amount can be set according to needs; the compensation function is realized by the control system receiving the data of the linear sensor 3 and instructing the linear servo slide 38 to micro-feed.

[0068] like Figure 11-13As shown, the linear servo drive module 6 is located on the opposite side of the workpiece servo spindle module 1, and is used to install a tool to grind the femoral ball part 21. The linear servo drive module 6 specifically includes a slide washer 36, which is fixedly connected to the bed 9, and the height of the slide washer 36 can be adjusted. A linear servo slide 38 is installed on the slide washer 36, and the linear servo slide 38 is driven by a linear motor 43 located below the linear servo slide 38. The feeding of the medical ceramic material grinding spindle requires high resolution (0.0001mm), high positioning accuracy (0.001mm) and high repeatability positioning accuracy (0.001mm). The linear motor 43 drive can generate electromagnetic flexible thrust and the feeding accuracy is controllable. It can meet the technical requirements of automatic grinding compensation when used in conjunction with the linear sensor 3.

[0069] A protective device 35 and a dustproof sealing belt synchronization device 42 are provided on the outside of the linear motor 43. The protective device 35 uses a synchronous belt to perform dustproof treatment on the top of the linear motor 43; the dustproof sealing belt synchronization device 42 includes a driving wheel and a tensioning wheel. The driving wheels are respectively located at both ends of the synchronous belt. The two driving wheels work on demand and cooperate with the tensioning wheel to allow the synchronous belt to move in two directions and always keep it in a tensioned state to prevent debris from falling into the area where the linear motor 43 is located.

[0070] A double-sided adjustment block 37 is provided between the slide shim 36 and the guard 35 to facilitate adjustment of the position of the guard 35.
