Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wood carving equipment technology, and in particular to a curved surface grinding device for wood carving. Background Technology
[0002] In wood carving, the polishing quality of complex curved surfaces (such as human figure sculptures and art pieces) directly affects the aesthetics and artistic value of the finished product. Traditional wood carving surface polishing devices mainly rely on manual operation or CNC machine tools with fixed programs: manual polishing depends on the craftsman's experience, resulting in low efficiency and poor consistency; while fixed-program CNC machine tools can achieve automation, they can only execute preset paths and parameters and cannot adapt to the dynamic changes of complex curved surfaces. The core problem with existing technologies is that the varying depths of wrinkles and rapid changes in curvature of complex curved surfaces make it difficult to precisely control the contact pressure between the grinding head and the workpiece surface during polishing. Specifically, in the valley areas (such as clothing folds and gaps between hairs), a fixed feed speed can easily lead to insufficient polishing and residual burrs; in the peak areas (such as the bridge of the nose and fingertips), excessive contact pressure may cause excessive wear or even breakage of thin-walled structures. Currently, existing wood carving surface grinding devices often encounter problems such as over-grinding and under-grinding when grinding wood carvings with complex curved surfaces, such as human figure wood carvings. This is because the depth of the wrinkles on the complex curved surfaces varies and the curvature changes are complex. Summary of the Invention

If the surface roughness index is greater than 3.2μm, reduce the target pressure by 30% and perform a second fine grinding. S7: Immediately execute the following security protocol when the following conditions are detected: If the pressure value remains above 20N for more than 200ms, the robotic arm 1 will be triggered to retract 10mm in an emergency. When the vision system loses feature tracking, the feed is paused and a region rescan is initiated. When the grinding wheel speed fluctuation exceeds 15%, the power supply to the grinding motor 202 is cut off and an alarm is triggered. S8: When processing is terminated, control the robotic arm 1 to return to the safe position, and each module executes the stop sequence.
[0026] During operation, the base of the robotic arm 1 is fixed to the processing table. The connecting seat 301 of the adjustment module 3 is aligned and locked with the end effector of the robotic arm 1 via a flange connection. In the adjustment module 3, the adjustment limit rod 302 and the moving seat 303 form a linear guide pair. One end of the lead screw 305 is connected to the output shaft of the adjustment motor 304 via a coupling, and the other end is fixed to the connecting seat 301 via a bearing seat.

The pressure is 15N and the feed rate is 5mm / s. During the grinding process, the pressure sensor 501 collects the normal contact pressure at a frequency of 100Hz. The controller 4 calculates the feed rate correction and grinding wheel speed correction through a PID algorithm. When the industrial camera 602 detects the feature boundary, the controller 4 starts the gradual parameter adjustment 20ms in advance. The Z-axis compensation of the robotic arm 1 is calculated according to the exponential decay formula to ensure a smooth transition. After each area of grinding is completed, the industrial camera 602 collects the surface texture and calculates the roughness through the gray-scale co-occurrence matrix. If it is >3.2μm, the target pressure is reduced by 30% to perform a second fine grinding. During the processing, when the pressure value is continuously >20N for more than 200ms, the controller 4 triggers the robotic arm 1 to retract 10mm in an emergency and suspend the feed; when the vision system loses feature tracking, the area rescanning process is started; when the grinding wheel speed fluctuates >15%, the power supply to the grinding motor 202 is cut off and an alarm is triggered.

A PID control algorithm is used to dynamically generate control commands based on the pressure deviation, and to synchronously adjust the feed speed of the regulating motor (304) and the grinding wheel rotation speed of the grinding motor (202).
8. A curved surface grinding device for wood carving according to claim 1, characterized in that: The controller (4) performs the following steps during operation: S1: Start self-test, perform sensor calibration and return the robotic arm (1) to zero; S2: The workpiece is scanned and its features are identified by the vision inspection module (6) to generate a three-dimensional processing path with feature markings; S3: Match the corresponding process parameters according to different feature regions; S4: During the grinding process, real-time pressure closed-loop control is executed to maintain constant force grinding; S5: When the boundary of the feature region is detected, the parameter gradual adjustment is performed in advance and the position compensation of the robotic arm (1) is triggered. S6: After the area grinding is completed, the surface roughness is tested. If it is not up to standard, the pressure is reduced and a second fine grinding is performed. S7: When pressure overload, feature loss, or abnormal speed is detected, the corresponding safety protocol is executed; S8: After processing is completed, control each module to stop in an orderly manner.
9. A curved surface grinding device for wood carving according to claim 4, characterized in that: The elastic coefficient of the rigid spring (503) is selected such that the natural frequency of the floating system formed by the grinding connector (204) is much lower than the main excitation frequency during the grinding process.
10. A curved surface grinding device for wood carving according to claim 2, characterized in that: The linear feed resolution of the adjustment module (3) is ≤0.01mm.
