Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vibration measurement technology, and more specifically, to a dynamic tool setting device and method for diamond micro-milling cutters. Background Technology

[0002] Diamond micro-milling technology is widely used in the precision and ultra-precision manufacturing of tiny three-dimensional structural parts in fields such as microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and optical precision instruments. In ultra-precision micro-milling, the high hardness, excellent wear resistance, and sharp cutting edges of diamond micro-milling cutters can achieve nanoscale surface quality and machining accuracy. Before machining with diamond micro-milling cutters, tool setting is a crucial step that determines the dimensional accuracy and surface morphology of subsequent machining processes.

[0003] Currently, diamond micro-end milling cutter tool setting methods mainly employ trial cutting, laser tool setting, and machine vision optical imaging tool setting. Trial cutting has problems such as long processing time and low tool setting efficiency, and may even lead to damage to the tool cutting edge. Laser tool setting uses a non-contact measurement method, but as the tool diameter decreases, the laser diffraction phenomenon gradually intensifies, severely reducing the tool setting accuracy, especially when the tool is rotating, the accuracy of tool contour measurement is limited. Machine vision optical imaging tool setting requires different magnification lenses when measuring micro-end milling cutters of different diameters. At the same time, after the light source shines on the tool, the diffraction phenomenon of the micro-tool will also cause the tool edge image to be blurred, making it impossible to accurately extract the tool contour for tool setting.

[0004] Therefore, a dynamic tool setting device and method for diamond micro-end milling cutters are proposed to solve one of the aforementioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

This has significant engineering implications and practical value for improving the clamping accuracy of diamond micro-end mills and the machining quality of parts.

[0045] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 Detailed description of optional embodiments of the present invention.

[0046] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, this application provides a dynamic tool setting method based on a diamond micro-end milling cutter, comprising:

[0047] S1: Acquire the time-series pulse sequence of the time-division acquisition image;

[0048] S2: Perform tool setting detection on the diamond micro-end mill 19 according to the timing pulse.

[0049] In some embodiments, the time-series pulse sequence for acquiring the time-division acquired image includes:

[0050] S11: Obtain the frequency of the trigger pulse, i.e., the fixed interval T1 of the trigger pulse, based on the rotational speed N of the diamond micro-end mill 19. For example, the rotational speed N of the diamond micro-end mill 19 is 2000 rpm, and the fixed interval of the trigger pulse is 0.03 s.

[0051] ;

[0052] S12: As Figure 1 As shown, based on the set number K of images K acquired when the diamond micro-end mill 19 rotates one revolution, the rotation angle θ corresponding to the diamond micro-end mill 19 in each image and the trigger pulse offset corresponding to the rotation angle are calculated. t; The time interval for the CMOS camera to acquire images is T. 1i = (i-1)T1+(i-1) t, where i=1:K; for example, the number of images acquired when the diamond micro-end mill 19 rotates one revolution is set to 400, and the rotation angle θ of the diamond micro-end mill 19 in each image is 0.75 degrees.

[0053] ,

[0054] The trigger pulse offset corresponding to the rotation angle is: t=75μs,

[0055] ;

[0056] S13: Based on the frequency T1 of the trigger pulse, the number K of images when the diamond micro-end mill 19 rotates one revolution, and the offset of the trigger pulse...

This avoids image blurring or information overlap caused by continuous exposure, providing a reliable timing reference for subsequent high-precision tool setting detection. It also ensures that the trigger pulse is precisely synchronized with the actual rotation state of the tool, ensuring that each frame of the image can accurately correspond to the specific position of the tool in the rotation cycle, improving the synchronization accuracy and repeatability of image acquisition, and laying the data foundation for full envelope contour reconstruction.

[0068] S24: Set the distance range between rows scanned from the bottom contour line upwards. Calculate the pixel spacing between the left and right edges of the contour based on each scanned horizontal contour. Filter the maximum value of the horizontal contour of all scanned rows as the dynamic maximum diameter of the diamond micro-end mill 19. This enables diamond micro-end mill tool setting detection. Filter the maximum horizontal diameter within a specific height range to effectively eliminate interference from the tool shank or clamping part, accurately obtain the dynamic maximum diameter of the effective cutting part of the tool, and achieve high-precision detection of the key dimensions of the tool.

[0069] In some embodiments, the diamond micro-end mill 19 is compensated based on the elongation of the diamond micro-end mill 19 and the dynamic maximum diameter; adaptive compensation is performed based on real-time detected changes in tool geometry parameters, automatically correcting the machining path or parameters, reducing machining errors caused by tool wear, and improving the dimensional accuracy and consistency of micro-machining.

The maximum values ​​of the high-frequency coefficients of multiple layers are summed to form the holographic reconstruction image. For example, the wavelet high-frequency coefficients for sharpness evaluation are the horizontal high-frequency coefficient, the vertical high-frequency coefficient, and the focus high-frequency coefficient. By utilizing the sensitivity of wavelet transform to high-frequency details of the image, the image sharpness at different reconstruction distances can be accurately quantified.
