Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of industrial control technology, in particular to a centerless grinding machine intelligent cooling system and method for difficult-to-machine materials. BACKGROUND

[0002] As the core process of high-precision shaft part machining, centerless grinding technology plays an irreplaceable role in the manufacturing of high-value-added difficult-to-machine material parts such as aero-engine rotors and aerospace actuators. Such materials usually include nickel-based superalloys, titanium alloys, and ceramic matrix composites. Their high strength and low thermal conductivity characteristics make it easy to accumulate intense friction heat in the contact area during grinding, which can induce thermal damage defects such as workpiece surface burn, micro-cracks, and metallurgical structure phase change. Not only does this cause the parts to be scrapped, but it can also cause catastrophic failures during the service period of the equipment. The traditional cooling scheme relies on experience to set constant flow parameters, which is difficult to adapt to material property fluctuations and dynamic changes in working conditions, and has become a bottleneck problem restricting the reliable manufacturing of high-end equipment.

[0003] The current mainstream technology mainly relies on contact thermocouple temperature measurement and PID feedback control, which has three inherent defects: first, point temperature measurement cannot capture the temperature gradient distribution of the entire grinding zone, leading to local over-temperature detection; second, the pure feedback mechanism has significant hysteresis, and thermal damage has already formed when the temperature is detected to be excessive; third, it lacks intelligent response capability in the face of sudden working conditions such as wheel clogging and coolant degeneration. More seriously, existing intelligent cooling systems rely on pre-set material databases, which frequently fail when processing unknown alloys or when material batch differences occur, and completely ignore the hidden damage risks caused by microstructure evolution. These defects have resulted in a high burn rate of high-temperature alloy materials during grinding.

[0004] The present application proposes an intelligent cooling system based on physical information machine learning, which innovatively constructs a four-dimensional collaborative architecture of "multi-source perception-edge prediction-dynamic decision-immune execution": through a multi-source sensing array, real-time capture of thermal-mechanical-acoustic-chemical multi-physical field signals during grinding; in the edge computing layer, fusion of spatio-temporal graph convolution network and differentiable heat conduction equation to realize dynamic prediction of micron-level temperature field; using a meta-reinforcement learning framework to drive a Pareto-regret value double optimizer to generate a cooling strategy; finally, relying on a digital immune memory bank to realize millisecond-level self-healing response to sudden working conditions. This system is fully compatible with existing machine tool hardware, not only solving the industry problem of precise prevention and control of thermal damage of difficult-to-machine materials, but also creating a paradigm shift from "passive response" to "thermodynamic prophet", providing a revolutionary solution for extreme manufacturing scenarios.

[0113] Example 1: Turbine shaft grinding of an aero-engine

[0114] In the mass production of high-temperature alloy Inconel 718 turbine shaft, the present scheme is implemented:

[0115] The perception layer is configured with an axial 30° and radial 45° acoustic emission sensor array, combined with a three-way vibration meter, a power monitoring module and an online mass spectrometer, to capture multi-physical field data streams in real time during the grinding process. The edge layer filters out oil mist interference signals through an adversarial autoencoder, and inputs the purified data into a spatiotemporal graph convolution network; the network is coupled with an embedded heat conduction equation solver to constrain the temperature field prediction results with physical laws, and dynamically outputs 0.2mm 2The contact area thermal map with high resolution warns the 562℃ high temperature risk point in the neck area of the main shaft 0.1 seconds in advance. The decision layer reverses the actual thermal conductivity of the material (12% lower than the standard value) based on the grinding force spectrum, and predicts the risk of γ' phase precipitation based on the phase change kinetics equation; The meta-reinforcement learning framework synchronously weighs the temperature suppression, coolant consumption and surface roughness target to generate a high-frequency pulse modulation strategy: 80MPa micro-jet cooling is triggered at the high temperature point, and the basic flow is maintained in the non-high temperature area. The execution layer dynamically adjusts the PWM parameters according to the grinding wheel wear state (38% medium wear), and when the sudden oil mist shielding causes image monitoring failure, the digital immune memory bank instantly matches the historical similar fault characteristics, and activates the compensation control mode dominated by acoustic emission. The whole system makes the turbine shaft burn rate close to zero, and the single cooling cost is reduced to 41% of the traditional scheme.

[0118] The multi-source perception unit deploys a micro-vibration sensor in the 8mm diameter slender shaft area, and captures the stress wave characteristics caused by micro-deformation in combination with an acoustic emission array. The physical modeling layer identifies the thermal conductivity anomaly caused by batch differences of the material (actual k value is 8% higher than the standard), and intervenes in advance to inhibit the risk of excessive transformation of β phase by dynamically correcting the phase change prediction model. The decision center sets the surface roughness priority weight (Ra≤0.05μm) in the Pareto optimizer, and when the system detects a 0.12μm trend deviation, the regret minimization mechanism instantly enhances the cooling strength to control the temperature fluctuation within ±5℃. The precise execution module reduces the cooling flow by 15% at the near clamping end to avoid vibration coupling and increases the flow by 25% in the overhanging section to suppress thermal bending according to the slender shaft thermal deformation compensation algorithm; The edge device synchronously runs the lightweight model of the neural differential equation, and the response speed is 15 times that of the traditional PLC. The immune memory bank triggers the plan based on the historical grinding frequency spectrum matching result: automatically switch the 80MPa high-pressure flushing and the grinding wheel dressing linkage operation. After the implementation, the straightness error of the workpiece is ≤2μm / m, the micro fatigue crack occurrence rate is zero, and the good product rate is increased to 99.3%.
