[0086] A PCB board 16 carrying a data acquisition and wireless transmission system is installed in the stepped housing 14, that is, PCB board mounting holes 1402 are evenly distributed on the stepped annular surface 1407, and the PCB board 16 is fixedly connected to the stepped annular surface 1407 by bolts passing through the PCB board mounting holes 1402. The PCB board 16 is powered by a battery 15 installed in a battery compartment 1401, and the battery compartment 1401 is installed in the stepped housing 14, that is, the battery compartment 1401 is symmetrically installed in the upper housing 1405, and the battery compartment 1401 is located above the PCB board 16; the PCB board 16 is electrically connected to the thin film strain gauge 8. In this embodiment, the nominal resistance of the thin film strain gauge 8 is 350Ω, the sensitivity coefficient of the thin film strain gauge 8 is 2±1%, the base size is 3.6mm×3.1mm, and the sensitive grid size is 1.0mm×2.0mm.

[0087] Specifically, the PCB board 16 includes a DC power output unit, an amplification module, an AD conversion module, a main control module, and a wireless transmission module:

[0088] The DC power output unit of the PCB board 16 outputs a 3.3V voltage to power the thin film strain gauge 8, that is, to power the four Wheatstone bridges. The thin film strain gauge 8 forms four Wheatstone bridges to connect the input channels of their respective amplifier modules. The amplifier module includes four independent amplifier circuits, which amplify the millivolt voltage signal to the range of -5V to +5V. The output end of each amplifier circuit is connected to the AD conversion module. The AD conversion module performs synchronous analog-to-digital conversion on the amplified voltage signal and connects to the main control module via SPI communication. The main control module is connected to the PC via the wireless transmission module, and the wireless transmission module sends the data processed by the main control unit to the external PC.

[0089] like Figure 16 As shown, the data acquisition and wireless transmission system has a 3.3V DC power output to power the four Wheatstone bridges on the strain elastic body 19; since the voltage change of the Wheatstone bridge caused by strain is relatively weak, the voltage signal of the Wheatstone bridge is first amplified by the amplifier module to -5V to +5V, and then the AD conversion module synchronously collects the four-channel voltage signals and performs AD conversion. The AD conversion module transmits the four-channel voltage values ​​to the main control module through SPI communication. The main control module processes the signals and sends them to the PC through the wireless transmission module. The signals are collected by the milling force acquisition software to complete the online monitoring of the four-component milling force.
