[0002] With the continuous development of automated processing technology, the stability control and safety protection of metal machine tool processing process are facing increasing challenges. This complexity brings many problems, especially in the management and monitoring of machine tool running state.

[0003] Currently, the running state of the machine tool is generally checked by technical personnel regularly, and detailed information of each inspection and maintenance is recorded. However, the traditional passive monitoring and maintenance method relies on manual judgment and physical measurement, and requires technical personnel to check and record in person.

[0015] The present application provides a metal automatic machining tool running state prediction system, which has the following improvements and advantages compared with the prior art: 1. The machine tool running state is comprehensively and deeply perceived, which greatly improves the early instability precursor capture ability; the prior art usually relies on a single macro-vibration signal for state monitoring, and the perception dimension is single, and it is not sensitive to the microscopic deterioration process; the present scheme acquires a multi-scale physical parameter acquisition system executed by a data acquisition module, which cooperatively monitors from four physical dimensions: the structural thermal gradient tensor quantifies the influence of thermal deformation on the stiffness of the whole machine from the macro-structure layer; the kurtosis change rate of the tool interface signal captures the transient characteristics of tool damage from the micro-interface layer; the relative fluctuation value of the cooling liquid dielectric constant indirectly reflects the deterioration of the lubrication and chip removal state in the cutting area from the chemical auxiliary layer; and the environmental low-frequency seismic noise spectrum evaluates the potential threat of random excitation from the external environment layer; this multi-physical field fusion perception constructs a complete portrait of the machine tool state, which can identify the instability precursor in the embryonic stage that cannot be found by traditional single signal method, significantly enhancing the sensitivity and reliability of the system perception. 2. A set of dynamic instability risk coupling evaluation model with clear physical meaning and high precision is established, which overcomes the limitations of static model or simple data weighting in the prior art; the dynamic instability risk coupling module of the present scheme is not a simple linear superposition of collected data, but a deep coupling: firstly, it calculates the system modal frequency after drift based on the structural thermal gradient tensor, solves the model misalignment problem caused by regarding the machine tool modal frequency as a static constant in the prior art, and provides a dynamic and accurate resonance benchmark for risk assessment; secondly, it fuses the kurtosis change rate and the relative fluctuation value of the coolant dielectric constant into a cutting process excitation strength factor, which quantifies the strength of internal excitation source uniformly; by combining the dynamic system modal frequency, the internal excitation strength factor and the external environmental noise spectrum, the harmonic locking risk index is determined; the index deeply reveals the physical nature of the mutual coupling between thermal-induced stiffness weakening, internal excitation enhancement and external excitation triggering, which leads to brittle instability, and the evaluation result is more accurate and has more predictability than the traditional threshold alarm method; 3. The introduction of the forward-looking prediction of the risk evolution trend changes the control system from passive response to predictive intervention; the closed-loop active control module of the present scheme not only evaluates the current risk, but more importantly, it can predict the risk evolution gradient; through a recurrent neural network model pre-trained based on a historical multi-dimensional time series feature data set, the system can predict the future risk index and calculate the change rate of the current risk accordingly; this risk evolution gradient provides a forward-looking in the time dimension for the control decision, enabling the system to identify those dangerous working conditions with low current risk but extremely fast deterioration rate, so that intervention can be carried out before the risk reaches the peak, realizing the change from passive response to active prevention in the technical concept; 4. A set of hierarchical intervention strategies dynamically matched with the risk level and evolution gradient is designed, realizing the best balance between processing efficiency and operation safety; according to the evaluation and prediction results, the closed-loop active control module of the present scheme performs fine hierarchical intervention: when the system is in the first warning level and the risk is rapidly increasing, the first-level intervention is started, and the spindle command speed is adjusted to actively break the harmonic locking condition in a way that has minimal impact on processing; when the system enters the second warning level, the second-level intervention is triggered, and protective measures such as forced reduction of spindle speed and feed rate or even automatic emergency shutdown are taken; this rigid-flexible control logic avoids the drawbacks of traditional methods, such as insufficient intervention leading to accidents or excessive intervention such as shutting down the machine, which affects production efficiency, and realizes intelligent closed-loop control that maximizes the maintenance of processing continuity and efficiency while ensuring absolute safety.

the purpose of the process is to unify multiple physical quantities that seem unrelated into a single index that can accurately predict the risk of chatter; The process of the module for determining the harmonic locking risk index includes the following core steps: The system modal frequency after drift is calculated based on the structural thermal gradient tensor and the preset initial modal frequency The purpose of this step is to quantify the influence of thermal stiffness softening effect on the system resonance benchmark; the inherent property of the machine tool, the modal frequency, is not constant, but changes dynamically with the heat accumulation during the machining process; in this embodiment, the system modal frequency after drift is calculated as follows: To quantify this physical process, a core thermal modal frequency drift formula is introduced: ; Wherein: : the system modal frequency after drift, the physical dimension is hertz, the source is calculated by the formula, which is dynamically changed and represents the frequency of the system resonance point under the current thermal state; : the initial modal frequency, the physical dimension is hertz, the source is pre-calibrated by experiment, which refers to the benchmark modal frequency of the machine tool in cold state or thermal equilibrium state, and can be obtained by modal testing means such as hammering method or sweep analysis, which is the inherent property of the machine tool; : the Frobenius norm of the thermal gradient tensor, the physical dimension is Kelvin / m, the source is calculated in real time by the data acquisition module according to the sensor array data, which represents the overall tensor The quantification of the temperature inhomogeneity degree contained is a scalar value; : thermal softening coefficient, physical dimension of meter / Kelvin, source is pre-calibrated by experiment; the thermal softening coefficient refers to a preset parameter representing the sensitivity of the dynamic stiffness of the machine tool to the change of thermal gradient; the calibration method is as follows: in the calibration experiment, a data point set composed of thermal gradient norm measurement values under different working conditions and corresponding modal frequency measurement values is collected, and then the coefficient is fitted by a regression analysis method such as least square method to best approximate the function relationship described in the above formula; The formula is an engineering approximation used to capture the main influence trend of the thermal gradient on the modal frequency; The data point set should at least contain three different working conditions: cold state, pre-starting, stable thermal equilibrium state, long-time empty running and typical machining working conditions such as rough machining and finish machining; under each working condition, the Frobenius norm of the structure thermal gradient tensor and the system modal frequency measured by the sweep frequency method or the hammering method should be measured at the same time; the size of the data point set should be not less than 20 groups to ensure the statistical significance of the regression result; Technical motivation and fusion logic: this step quantifies the weakening effect of the dynamic stiffness of the whole machine caused by the structure thermal gradient tensor by using the preset thermal softening coefficient , and determines the system modal frequency after the drift is represented; this solves the model misalignment problem in the prior art caused by regarding the modal frequency as a static value, provides a dynamic and accurate resonance benchmark for risk assessment, and is a physical prerequisite for accurate prediction; Based on the kurtosis change rate and the relative fluctuation value, the cutting process excitation intensity factor is calculated The purpose of this step is to comprehensively evaluate the internal excitation intensity caused by the state deterioration on the micro level in the cutting process; system instability not only needs frequency proximity, but also needs sufficient energy injection; in this embodiment, the cutting process excitation intensity factor is calculated as follows: Therefore, the empirical model definition formula of the cutting process excitation intensity factor is introduced: ; Wherein: : cutting process excitation intensity factor, dimensionless, source is calculated by the formula, which comprehensively reflects the intensity of internal excitation; : kurtosis change rate, physical dimension of -1 , source is calculated in real time by the data acquisition module; : relative fluctuation of dielectric constant, dimensionless, derived from real-time monitoring and calculation by data acquisition module; : critical value of kurtosis change rate, physical dimension is -1 , derived from presetting through historical data statistics;

This formula is an empirical model that aims to approximately integrate two different signals through weighted summation; The historical data set used for training should contain at least 50 groups of typical chatter precursor data before chatter occurs and 100 groups of stable normal cutting data. Each group of data should contain time series of kurtosis change rate and relative fluctuation value of dielectric constant ; the model training goal is to minimize the cross-entropy loss function, and the F1 score is used as the main evaluation indicator to ensure that the model can effectively identify chatter precursors when dealing with unbalanced data sets, with fewer chatter samples than normal samples; Technical motivation and fusion logic: this step uses the preset critical value of kurtosis change rate and the relative fluctuation critical threshold of dielectric constant to normalize the real-time acquired kurtosis change rate and relative fluctuation value ; according to the preset weight coefficient , the two normalized values are weighted and summed to generate the cutting process excitation intensity factor ; the innovation of this step is to integrate two different physical sources of microscopic precursor signals indicating instability into a unified, dimensionless excitation intensity indicator, solving the problem of difficult comprehensive evaluation of internal excitation sources; Combined with the system modal frequency after drift, the cutting process excitation intensity factor and the low-frequency seismic noise spectrum, the harmonic locking risk index is determined​​ The small quantity introduced ensures that the denominator is not zero even when the main shaft rotational speed harmonic frequency is exactly equal to the system modal frequency, thus maintaining numerical stability of the calculation; it ensures that in the extreme case where the frequency is extremely close to the resonance point, the risk index can rise sharply but smoothly, in line with physical intuition; This step is the final risk coupling step, which aims to combine the likelihood of system resonance, the frequency proximity, the strength of internal excitation and the triggering effect of external excitation to form the final risk index; Harmonic lock risk index is defined as: ; Wherein: : mth harmonic lock risk index, dimensionless, derived from the calculation by this formula; : cutting process excitation strength factor, dimensionless, derived from the calculation by the previous step 2;

The value of the regularization small quantity should be much smaller than the frequency mistuning degree , which is the minimum value in the normal working range, and the recommended value range is to ; a too large The denominator will weaken the sensitivity of the denominator to the frequency close to the resonance, resulting in inaccurate calculation of the risk index; too small Then there may be a floating-point precision problem; Fusion logic: the physical meaning of the formula is the ratio of the effective excitation energy to the frequency mismatch; the numerator is the product of the internal excitation And external excitation , representing the total excitation strength, here, the normalized environmental noise energy spectrum Quantifies the excitation effect of the external environment on the system resonance point; the denominator Represents the normalized difference between the m-th harmonic frequency of the main shaft speed and the real modal frequency of the system, and the smaller the value, the closer the system is to the resonance condition; the total harmonic lock risk index Take the maximum value of the risk in all concerned orders, that is: ; Through the close coupling of the above three steps, the dynamic instability risk coupling module of the embodiment successfully integrates multiple cross-scale physical quantities such as thermal gradient, micro-damage, coolant state, environmental noise and main shaft speed into a single index that can accurately and sensitively represent the catastrophic chatter risk ;

When the system is in the first early warning state, such as , the modulation amplitude is gradually increased from zero until the system risk index begins to fall significantly.
