Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of milling cutter processing, in particular to a multi-discharge high-efficiency precision processing device and method for a milling cutter. Background Art

[0002] As modern manufacturing continues to move toward higher precision and greater sophistication, the precision requirements for key cutting tools like milling cutters are becoming increasingly stringent. Electrospark machining (EDM) technology, with its unique advantages such as non-contact machining and ability to process complex shapes and difficult-to-cut materials, has gained widespread application in milling cutter processing.

[0003] However, current EDM milling technology faces numerous challenges. In terms of machining accuracy, a single EDM grinding operation struggles to precisely control the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the milling cutter. Milling cutter machining accuracy directly impacts the quality and efficiency of subsequent machining operations. Deviations in the dimensional accuracy of the milling cutter can lead to dimensional and shape errors in the workpiece during machining. Poor surface quality can also reduce the cutting performance of the milling cutter and shorten its service life. For example, in the machining of aerospace components, even small dimensional errors in the milling cutter can affect the performance and safety of the entire component.

[0004] Furthermore, the efficiency of existing machining technologies is insufficient to meet production needs. During milling, improper discharge parameter selection and imperfect machining processes result in long machining times. Furthermore, the lack of real-time monitoring and precise control of the machining process makes various anomalies, such as unstable discharge, more likely to occur, further reducing machining efficiency.

[0005] In summary, the development of a multiple discharge machining method and supporting equipment that can improve the milling cutter machining accuracy and efficiency has important practical significance, and plays a key role in promoting the high-end development of the manufacturing industry and improving product quality and production efficiency.

[0034] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, a multi-discharge high-efficiency precision machining equipment for a milling cutter includes a high-precision machining machine, an EDM pulse power supply 8, a discharge monitoring device 11 and a detection device.

[0036] The high-precision machining center includes an EDM machine 1, a spindle 2, a grinding wheel 3, a worktable 6, and a machine body 7; the worktable 6 is located at the upper end of the machine body 7, the EDM machine 1 is located at the upper end of the worktable 6, and the grinding wheel 3 is installed at the lower end of the EDM machine 1. The spindle 2 supports precise movement in the X, Y, and Z directions, and the positioning accuracy meets the strict requirements of the accuracy of multiple discharge machining of the milling cutter, and the repeated positioning accuracy is high; wherein, the grinding wheel 3 adopts a copper grinding wheel 3 with good conductivity and suitable grinding performance. The electric high-precision machining center supports the milling cutter blank 5 and the copper grinding wheel 3 to perform machining operations according to a preset back-and-forth motion path, controls the relative position and motion trajectory between the milling cutter blank 5 and the copper grinding wheel 3, and ensures machining accuracy.

[0037] The EDM pulse power supply 8 is located on one side of the machine tool body 7, and the EDM pulse power supply 8 outputs stable and controllable pulse current and voltage; the voltage output range is flexibly adjusted to meet the high-energy discharge during rough machining and the micro-energy discharge during fine machining; the current output range also has good adaptability and can be adjusted according to the machining requirements. The pulse width and pulse interval are adjusted by the EDM pulse power supply 8, and the discharge parameters are flexibly set according to different machining stages and machining processes, wherein the pulse width and pulse interval range are both 0-9500μs.

[0038] The discharge monitoring device 11 is provided with a voltage probe 9 and a current probe 10, which are used to collect discharge voltage and current data in real time. The collection accuracy is high and the changes in discharge parameters can be keenly captured. At the same time, the discharge monitoring device 11 is used to calculate the collected voltage and current data. When the preset conditions are met, no processing is performed; when the preset conditions are not met, the feed rate is increased or decreased accordingly.

[0039] The detection device includes a non-contact optical measuring instrument 4, which monitors the loss of the copper grinding wheel 3 and ensures that the accuracy meets the requirements; at the same time, it measures the machining allowance and dimensional accuracy after finishing of the milling cutter blank 5 placed on the workbench 6, and detects the surface quality of the milling cutter.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the present invention also provides a method for processing a milling cutter with multiple electric discharge high-efficiency precision processing equipment, comprising the following steps:

[0041] S1. Workpiece clamping and positioning: The milling cutter blank 5 is firmly mounted on the workbench 6 of the machine tool body 7 to ensure accurate positioning of the workpiece; the copper grinding wheel 3 is mounted on the spindle 2 at the lower end of the EDM machine tool 1, and the relative position between the copper grinding wheel 3 and the milling cutter blank 5 is adjusted to ensure that the two are in the appropriate processing position;

[0042] During the clamping process of the milling cutter blank 5 in step S1, a high-precision clamping device is used to fix the milling cutter blank 5, and the positioning element is used to ensure that the milling cutter blank 5 is stable during processing; if the initial distance is detected, the processing power is turned on and a short circuit detection is performed. When the milling cutter blank 5 contacts the copper grinding wheel 3, a short circuit reminder appears, and the milling cutter blank 5 is axially retreated to the preset processing distance, and then subsequent grinding operations are performed.

[0043] S2. Parameter planning and setting: Plan the machining parameters according to the material characteristics of the workpiece, the expected machining accuracy, and the performance of the copper grinding wheel 3; in the rough machining stage, set the parameters with the main goal of improving machining efficiency, and determine the maximum feed depth for each rough machining; in the fine machining stage, set the parameters to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface quality, determine the micro feed depth for each fine machining, and plan the number of rough and fine machining; at the same time, plan the machining path as a back-and-forth motion, that is, the first machining is from point a to point b, and the subsequent machining is carried out in a cycle from point b to point a and point a to point b.

[0044] Among them, the processing stage includes the rough processing stage and the fine processing stage:

[0045] 1) During the rough machining phase, the machining voltage is adjusted to a first voltage range, the working current is controlled to a first current intensity, the pulse width is set to a first duration, the pulse interval is adjusted to a first interval period, and the electrode feed amount is synchronously matched to a first feed rate to achieve efficient material removal;

[0046] 2) In the finishing stage, the machining voltage is adjusted to a second voltage range, the operating current is controlled to a second current intensity, the pulse width is set to a second duration, the pulse interval is adjusted to a second interval period, and the electrode feed amount is synchronously matched to a second feed rate to achieve precision forming processing;

[0047] The lowest value of the first voltage range is higher than the highest value of the second voltage range, the first current intensity is greater than the second current intensity, the first duration is longer than the second duration, the first interval period is shorter than the second interval period, and the first feed rate is significantly higher than the second feed rate.

[0048] S3, rough machining and monitoring: start the EDM machine 1 and the EDM pulse power supply 8, and perform rough machining multiple times according to the rough machining parameters; adopt a back and forth motion method; during the rough machining process, the discharge state is monitored in real time by the discharge monitoring device 11, including the discharge voltage, current stability and spark morphology; at the same time, the loss of the copper grinding wheel 3 is monitored; the milling cutter blank 5 is measured at regular intervals to grasp the machining progress, but no strict precision control is performed; specifically, the discharge state is monitored in real time by the discharge monitoring device 11, and the discharge voltage and current data are collected in real time by the voltage probe 9 and the current probe 10 respectively. The single chip microcomputer in the discharge monitoring device 11 calculates and analyzes the collected data. If the discharge probability is abnormal, the machining is automatically adjusted to reduce the feed rate or suspend the machining inspection equipment.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the discharge monitoring device 11 first counts the pulses during the discharge process; then, based on the pulse count results, it performs a probability calculation and compares the calculated probability with a set probability. If the probability is greater than the set probability, the feed rate is reduced and a speed servo signal is output. If the probability is not greater than the set probability, the feed rate is increased and a speed servo signal is output. Simultaneously, the EDM program begins, the initial machining parameters are set, and the feed speed is adjusted based on factors such as the speed servo signal output by the discharge monitoring device 11. The program then checks whether the current machining task is complete. If not, the program returns to the "feed speed adjustment" step to continue adjustment and machining. If completed, the EDM program ends.

[0050] S4. Finishing and inspection: Perform multiple finishing operations according to the finishing parameters; after each finishing operation, use a detection device to detect the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the milling cutter, and adjust the parameters of subsequent finishing according to the detection results. The parameters include processing voltage, current, pulse width, pulse interval, grinding wheel 3 speed and feed depth. Continue this process until the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the milling cutter blank meet the predetermined processing standards and the processing is completed; specifically, use a detection device to measure the milling cutter processing allowance and perform dimensional accuracy inspection after finishing, and adjust the number of roughing operations, finishing parameters, and feed amount of grinding wheel 3 according to the measurement results.

[0051] This embodiment takes the example of forming a linear groove on a milling cutter blank 5 to describe in detail the specific implementation process of the multi-discharge high-efficiency precision machining method and equipment for the milling cutter of the present invention.

[0052] First, if Figure 1As shown, prepare the machining equipment. Adjust the EDM machine 1 to normal working condition and check the stability of the machine body 7 and the connection of each component. At the same time, connect the EDM pulse power supply 8, ensure that the voltage probe 9 and current probe 10 are correctly installed so that they can accurately collect discharge voltage and current data, and connect them to the discharge monitoring device 11 to achieve real-time monitoring of the discharge status. Install a non-contact optical measuring instrument 4 for real-time monitoring of the wear of the copper grinding wheel 3 and related parameters of the milling cutter.

[0053] Then, if Figure 4 (a) Figure 4 As shown in (b), the workpiece is clamped and positioned. The copper grinding wheel 3 is mounted on the spindle 2, ensuring it is securely mounted and well-balanced. The milling cutter blank 4 is clamped on the workbench 6, ensuring that the copper grinding wheel 3 and the milling cutter blank 4 are in the proper machining position.

[0054] Then, the parameters are planned and set. According to the material properties of the milling cutter blank 4, the expected processing accuracy and the performance of the copper grinding wheel 3, the processing parameters are planned. In the rough processing stage, with improving processing efficiency as the main goal, the maximum feed depth is determined to be 0.1mm. By increasing the processing voltage to 100V, increasing the current to 15A, extending the pulse width to 150μs and reducing the pulse interval to 100μs, combined with a larger electrode feed, the feed speed is set to 5mm / min to improve the processing efficiency. In the fine processing stage, in order to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface quality, the micro feed depth is determined to be 0.01mm. Reduce the processing voltage to 30V, reduce the current to 5A, shorten the pulse width to 50μs and increase the pulse interval to 400μs, and use a micro electrode feed, and the feed speed is set to 2mm / min. At the same time, plan the approximate number of roughing and finishing, 3 times for roughing and 5 times for finishing, and determine the machining path as a back-and-forth motion, that is, the first machining is from one end of the linear slot (set as point a) to the other end (set as point b), the second from point b to point a, and so on.

[0055] Afterwards, if Figure 4 As shown in (c), rough machining and monitoring begin. Start the EDM machine 1 and the EDM pulse power supply 8, and perform multiple rough machining according to the rough machining parameters, using a back-and-forth motion method. During the machining process, the discharge status is monitored in real time by the discharge monitoring device 11. The voltage probe 9 and the current probe 10 collect the discharge voltage and current data in real time, and the single-chip microcomputer in the discharge monitoring device 11 calculates and analyzes the collected data. If the discharge probability is abnormal, the machining is automatically adjusted, the feed rate is reduced, or the machining inspection equipment is paused. At the same time, the non-contact optical measuring instrument 4 monitors the wear of the copper grinding wheel 3 and the machining status of the milling cutter blank to grasp the machining progress.

[0056] like Figure 4As shown in Figure (d), after rough machining is complete, the finishing and inspection phase begins. Multiple finishing operations are performed according to the finishing parameters, also using a back-and-forth motion. After each finishing operation, a non-contact optical measuring instrument 4 is used to accurately inspect the dimensional accuracy of the linear slots in the milling cutter blank 5, including the slot width, slot depth, and surface quality, i.e., surface roughness. Subsequent finishing parameters are adjusted based on the inspection results. This process continues until the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the linear slots in the milling cutter blank 5 meet the predetermined machining standards, completing the machining process.

[0057] During the entire machining process, the operator can monitor the machining status in real time through the control system of the EDM machine 1 and make necessary interventions and adjustments based on actual conditions.

[0058] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or substitute equivalents for some of the technical features.
