Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the category of kinetic fine modeling, and specifically relates to a method and system for optimizing the surface waviness of an air bearing in an air bearing-rotor system. Background Technique

[0002] The aerostatic spindle is the core component of ultra-precision machining technology, which mainly consists of a high-precision rotor, an aerostatic bearing and its air supply circuit, a motor, a thrust plate, etc. Since the motor speed is as high as 100,000 r / min, the aerostatic spindle has no external motor, but chooses the direct motor connection method. When the spindle rotates at a high speed, it is supported by the air bearing. Therefore, the fine modeling of the rotor-bearing system plays a very important role in the fine solution of the spindle dynamics.

[0003] The theoretical modeling and solution of the static and dynamic characteristics of the aerostatic bearing became mature in the early 21st century. Its main idea focuses on the solution of the Reynolds equation, which is divided into the laminar flow assumption condition and the turbulent flow assumption condition. Since the rotation speed of the rotor cooperating with the air bearing is very high, the centrifugal force and rotational inertia should not be too large. During the manufacturing process of the spindle, very high precision (μm level) will be ensured, which makes the air flow conditions very stable during the service of the air bearing, except for drastic speed increase and decrease. Therefore, most scholars assume the air flow as the laminar flow condition when studying the aerostatic bearing. In the actual manufacturing process, due to the existence of machining errors, the roughness error of the inner race of the aerostatic radial bearing is inevitable. The high precision of the air bearing makes the inner race roughness quite small (less than one-fourth of the initial air film thickness). However, it can affect the air pressure distribution by affecting the air film thickness. Therefore, it is necessary to study the influence of different surface shapes of the aerostatic journal bearing on the static characteristics of the bearing. Most scholars only study the sine wave waviness shape (for example, Wang X, Xu Q, Wang B, et al. Effect of surface waviness on the static performance of aerostatic journal bearings [J]. Tribology International, 2016, 103: 394-405). Some study the waviness of the inner race of the bearing, and some study the waviness of the journal. The conclusion is that specific conditions of the waviness parameters can improve the load-carrying performance.

[0004] The finite element method is a very effective numerical calculation method for solving the dynamics of the main shaft. The Timoshenko beam element method is the most mature and effective one among them. It takes into account the shear deformation and rotational inertia of the beam, making each element have five independent degrees of freedom. When studying the dynamic behavior of the rotor-bearing system, a coupled model of the rotor and the air bearing must be established. Currently, the main methods for solving the dynamic equation are: the Newmark-β method and the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The former has a fast convergence speed, but it is prone to non-convergence when used in non-linear dynamic systems; the latter has a slow convergence speed, but it is easy to converge when used in non-linear dynamic systems. Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a solution method that combines the convergence speed and convergence conditions, that is, the improved Newmark-β algorithm. Summary of the Invention

[0079] Refer to Figures 1-7 , when the present invention considers the time-varying dynamic modeling and calculation method of the air bearing-rotor system with different surface waviness, it includes the following steps:

[0080] Step 1) Input the structural parameters and waviness parameters of the aerostatic radial bearing, including the parameters listed in Table 1;

[0081] Table 1 Bearing Parameters

[0082]

[0083] Step 2) Under the rotor-bearing model shown Figure 1 Separate the parameters of three waviness shapes, namely sine wave, triangular wave, and square wave, and each waviness shape is divided into axial waviness direction and circumferential waviness direction;

[0084] The expressions of three different surface waviness shapes of aerostatic radial bearings in the circumferential and axial directions are as follows:

[0085] Axial sine waviness:

[0086]

[0087] Circumferential sine waviness:

[0088]

[0089] Axial triangular waviness:

[0090]

[0091] Circumferential triangular waviness:

[0092]

[0093] Axial square wave waviness:

[0094]

[0095] Circumferential square wave waviness:

[0096]

[0097] Among them, A is the wave amplitude, λ is the wavelength, R is the rotor radius, and θ is the circumferential angle;

[0098] The expression of the air film thickness is as follows:

[0099] h = h0 + ecos(θ - φ) - δ (7)

[0100] Among them, h0 is the nominal clearance, e is the eccentricity, φ is the attitude angle.

[0101] Step 3) Given the four-degree-of-freedom parameter information of the rotor-bearing: eccentricity and attitude angle (two translational degrees of freedom), inclination angle of rotation about the x-axis and inclination angle of rotation about the y-axis Calculate the film thickness with waviness, and ensure that the value of the film thickness does not exceed the physical boundaries, i.e., the outer surface of the rotor and the inner surface of the bearing housing; solve the film pressure in the simplified dimensionless Reynolds equation by combining the partial derivative results of the film thickness.

[0102] At the inclination angle of rotation about the x-axis and the inclination angle of rotation about the y-axis , the change in the film thickness can be expressed as:

[0103]

[0104] Then consider the established surface waviness model, and the final film thickness expression is:

[0105]

[0106] where ε0 is the static eccentricity without inclination freedom, θ0 is the static eccentricity angle, and tanθ0 = y / x, is the dimensionless axial coordinate system, is the dimensionless axial tilt center, h0 is the nominal clearance, and are the tilt freedoms along the two circumferential coordinate axes.

[0107] Step 4) According to the Figure 2 iterative process of the Reynolds equation shown: First, input various initial bearing structure parameters and bearing waviness parameters, calculate the film thickness distribution under corresponding conditions, and assign the initial orifice outlet pressure. During the iteration process, the convergence of the mass flow rate and the film pressure should be satisfied. If the film pressure does not converge, reassign the orifice outlet pressure of the previous iteration.

[0108] Since the time for the gas to pass through the orifice is very short, the gas flow can be regarded as adiabatic flow. Introduce the dimensionless parameter of the gas flow rate:

[0109]

[0110] The inlet flow rate of the orifice is:

[0111]

[0112]

[0113] In the formula: A is the throttling area of the orifice, κ = 1.4 is the specific heat ratio, p s is the supply air pressure, ρ a is the density of the atmosphere, Φ = 0.8 is the throttling coefficient, p d is the orifice outlet air pressure, p a is the pressure of the atmosphere.

[0114] The circumferential and axial gas outlet flows of the small holes are respectively:

[0115]

[0116] In the formula: and are the dimensionless circumferential gas outlet flows, and are the dimensionless axial gas outlet flows, x1 and x2 are the circumferential boundaries of the gas calculation region, y1 and y2 are the axial boundaries of the gas calculation region, and ρ is the density of the ideal gas (ρ = ρ a ·p / p a ).

[0117] Calculating the distribution of the gas film pressure using the finite difference method and the step-by-step iteration method includes:

[0118] Solving the dimensionless steady-state Reynolds equation in the simplified cylindrical coordinate system for the gas film pressure:

[0119]

[0120] Among them, η is the air viscosity coefficient, ω is the angular velocity of the rotor, and p a is the standard atmospheric pressure;

[0121] Discretizing the Reynolds equation using the finite difference method:

[0122]

[0123] The dimensionless gas film pressure is:

[0124]

[0125] In the formula:

[0126]

[0127] Among them, and are respectively the dimensionless gas film thickness and gas film pressure at the discrete coordinate (i, j) point. Here, θ and are the widths of each grid in the circumferential and axial directions after dividing the gas film grid.

[0128] Based on the calculated gas film pressure distribution, the calculation formulas for the steady-state performance parameters of the air bearing are as follows:

[0129] Calculation of the bearing capacity:

[0130]

[0131] Calculation of bearing moment:

[0132]

[0133] Stiffness calculation:

[0134]

[0135] Coefficient of friction calculation:

[0136]

[0137] where z m is the tilt center, ΔW is the change in bearing capacity, and Δe is the change in eccentricity; after the calculation is completed, the static characteristic parameters of the bearing are output.

[0138] Step 5) Analyze the variation of the air bearing performance with the parameters and types of surface waviness. Figure 3 From the air film pressure distributions under different waviness shapes shown, it can be seen that the maximum and minimum pressure distributions at each row of small holes are irregularly distributed with different waviness types and waveform parameters. Specifically, mapped to the performance, such as Figure 4 the bearing capacity shown, it can be seen that the bearing capacity of the square wave with waviness is significantly better than that without waviness and changes regularly with the wavelength and amplitude. Such a law will be instructive for the design of the bearing structure parameters after quantitative research. The stiffness coefficient of the bearing is obtained through Equation (41), and the damping coefficient of the bearing is obtained through an empirical formula.

[0139] Refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 which is the overall process flow diagram of the present invention. The specific steps are as follows:

[0140] (1) First, input the bearing and rotor structure parameters. Table 1 shows the bearing structure parameters, and Table 2 shows the rotor structure parameters.

[0141] Table 2 Rotor parameters

[0142]

[0143] (2) Through the above Steps 1)-Step 5), calculate the stiffness and damping coefficients of the front and rear air radial bearings distributed at different positions of the rotor.

[0144] (3) Through Figure 5 the distribution positions of the front / rear air static pressure radial bearings shown, couple the stiffness and damping coefficients of the front and rear air radial bearings distributed at different positions of the rotor into the dynamic equation of the entire system. The specific coupling equation is shown as follows. The M, C, and K matrices are those mentioned in Equation (15), and K B and C Bis the stiffness and damping coefficients of the front / rear radial bearings;

[0145]

[0146] The aerostatic spindle is divided into several Timoshenko beam elements, and its dynamic equation is:

[0147]

[0148] In the formula: M = M b + M d , the superscripts b and d represent the beam element and the disk element respectively, M b and M d are the mass matrices, C = C B + C s - ω(G b + G d ), G b and G d are the gyro matrices, K b is the stiffness matrix, is the stiffness matrix caused by the axial force, is the mass matrix caused by the centrifugal force, C s is the structural damping of the spindle system, K B and C B are the stiffness and damping matrices of the air bearing respectively, F is the unbalanced mass force of the thrust disk, is the displacement vector of the rotor node;

[0149] Input the structural parameters and material properties of the spindle, and calculate the stiffness matrix, damping matrix and mass matrix of each beam element;

[0150] is the mass matrix caused by the centrifugal force, and its specific expression is as follows:

[0151]

[0152] Among them, m1 = 156 + 294Φ + 140Φ 2 , m2 = (22 + 38.5Φ + 17.5Φ 2 )L, m3 = 54 + 126Φ + 70Φ 2 , m4 = -(13 + 31.5Φ + 17.5Φ 2 )L, m5 = (4 + 7Φ + 3.5Φ 2 )L 2 , m6 = -(3 + 7Φ + 3.5Φ 2 )L 2 .

[0153] The empirical calculation formula for the damping coefficient of the air bearing is as follows:

[0154] C s =CVμFv (25)

[0155] Wherein, CV is the volume of the bearing, μ is the viscosity coefficient, and Fv is the vibration force received by the bearing.

[0156] The stiffness and damping matrices of the air bearing-rotor coupling system are respectively expressed as:

[0157]

[0158] In the formula: and are respectively the stiffness and damping matrices of the rotor nodes i and j, is the stiffness and damping matrix of the front air radial bearing, is the stiffness and damping matrix of the rear air radial bearing.

[0159] (4) Based on the improved Newmark-β algorithm, initialize the time integration parameter α and the time step Δt, and perform the preliminary calculation of the dynamic motion equation. If the equation does not converge, readjust α and Δt, and then perform the Newmark-β algorithm calculation. If the equation converges, output the dynamic response at the end of the main shaft;

[0160] The specific improved Newmark-β algorithm is as follows:

[0161]

[0162] Wherein and are the equivalent mass matrix and equivalent load vector of the linear structure

[0163]

[0164] α is the time integration parameter, α ∈ [0, 1 / 3]. When α = 0, it is the Newmark-β method. Introducing this parameter can improve the convergence speed of the kinematic differential equation. After obtaining the acceleration response i+1 at time t the velocity response and displacement response {q i+1} are obtained by using the following formula:

[0165]

[0166] Where β = (1 + α) 2 / 4, γ = 1 / 2 + α. Select appropriate parameters α to achieve the rapid convergence of the equation.

[0167] (5) Figure 7 The vibration displacement responses at the spindle end with and without square-wave waviness are shown. The patterns presented include the rotor-bearing parameters selected in the present invention. From Figure 7 it can be seen that after introducing square-wave waviness, the stability of the rotor-bearing is higher, and the vibration displacement is suppressed by approximately 30%, with obvious effects. By using the method of the present invention, under the condition of given structural parameters of the air bearing and the rotor, the degree of vibration suppression of the spindle end by different surface waviness parameters can be quantitatively explored, thereby achieving the ultimate goal of accurately guiding the structural design and manufacturing of air bearings.

[0168] The present invention discloses a time-varying dynamics modeling and calculation method for an air bearing-rotor system considering different surface waviness, including: based on the rotor structural parameters, material properties, and the structural parameters and surface waviness parameters of the air bearing; calculating the stiffness and damping coefficients of the front / rear air radial bearings through the finite difference method and the step-by-step iteration method; dividing the rotor into several discrete Timoshenko beam elements, and regarding the thrust disk and the beam elements as rigid contacts; calculating the mass, stiffness, and damping matrices of the rotor-bearing system; using the improved Newmark-β algorithm to finally obtain the dynamic response of the rotor-bearing system and output the vibration displacement at the spindle end; by using the dynamic model of the rotor-bearing system established in the present invention, only by inputting the structural parameters of the rotor and the bearing, the influence of different surface waviness parameters of the inner ring of the air bearing on the vibration characteristics of the spindle end can be quantitatively explored, providing a solution for optimizing the bearing structural design and manufacturing.

[0169] The present invention provides an air bearing surface waviness optimization method in an air bearing-rotor system. Based on the modeling of the surface waviness of the inner ring of three complete air bearings in the circumferential and axial directions, considering a total of four degrees of freedom including circumferential translation and rotation, the fine air film thickness distribution is finally calculated; then, in the process of solving the Reynolds equation, partial differential terms of the air film pressure and the air film thickness are involved. Since the analytical distribution of the air film thickness has been obtained, the distribution of the air film pressure is finally solved by using the finite difference method and the step-by-step iteration method. Integrating the obtained air film pressure can obtain various steady-state performances of the air bearing; after coupling the rotor-bearing, an improved Newmark-β algorithm is proposed to solve the air bearing-rotor model, improving the convergence speed of solving the system's nonlinear dynamic equation. Compared with the traditional method, this method not only improves the efficiency but also improves the calculation accuracy; the present invention focuses on inputting the surface topography parameters of the actually processed air bearing structure, can explore its influence on the dynamic response of the spindle, and guides the structural design and actual production of the air bearing.
