Background Technology
[0002] The electric spindle unit is a core component of high-speed CNC machine tools, and its performance directly determines the machining accuracy and quality of the entire machine tool. Bearings, as key components supporting the rotation of the electric spindle, significantly impact its accuracy. Angular contact ball bearings are widely used due to their low energy consumption, low friction, and ability to simultaneously bear axial and radial forces. Throughout the operation of the electric spindle, the stiffness, load, and installation method of the angular contact ball bearing all affect its performance. Furthermore, the Hertz contact force between the bearing balls and the raceway, the bearing preload, the contact angle of the bearing balls, and centrifugal force all influence the spindle's production quality and accuracy, leading to a decrease in overall spindle performance. Therefore, developing a dynamic characteristic analysis method for high-speed ball bearings that considers ring deformation is of significant guiding importance for improving electric spindle performance.

The implementation of this invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 A flowchart for bearing dynamics modeling that comprehensively considers the thermal deformation and centrifugal deformation of the bearing rings.
[0022] Step (1) Establish a radial thermal expansion deformation model, including the following:
[0023] Generally, the thermal deformation of a ring-shaped part is calculated as u = aΔTd. T (1)
[0024] In the formula, u is the amount of thermal deformation, and d T Where is the diameter of the part, 'a' is the coefficient of thermal expansion, and ΔT is the temperature rise.
[0025] From equation (1), the thermal deformation of the bearing inner raceway diameter and its inner diameter are respectively...
[0026] u i '=a i ΔT i d i u i =a i ΔT i d i (2)
[0027] When the temperature increases by ΔT s At that time, the deformation of the outer diameter of the shaft is u. s =a s ΔT s (1+v s )d(3) Combining equations (2) to (3), the radial thermal deformation of the bearing inner ring under the influence of the rotating shaft is:
[0028] u i =a i ΔT i d i +[a s ΔT s (1+v s )-a i ΔT i ]d 2 / d i (4)
[0029] In the formula, a i a s These are the coefficients of thermal expansion of the inner ring and the shaft, respectively.
[0030] Similarly, when the temperature increases by ΔT h At that time, the radial thermal deformation of the bearing outer ring under the influence of the bearing housing is

[0032] In the formula, v h a h These are the Poisson's ratio and coefficient of thermal expansion of the bearing housing, D. e The outer diameter of the channel.
[0033] Furthermore, the thermal deformation of the bearing rolling element can be obtained as u. b =a b ΔT b D b (6)
[0034] In the formula, a b D b These are the coefficient of thermal expansion of the rolling element and the diameter of the ball, ΔT. b To increase the rolling body temperature.
[0035] Combining equations (4) to (6), the radial thermal deformation of the bearing ring is: u r =u i -u e -2u b (7)
[0036] Step (2) Establish the bearing centrifugal expansion deformation model, including the following:
[0037] When the spindle rotates at high speed, the bearing will generate centrifugal force, which causes the inner ring of the bearing to undergo centrifugal expansion deformation. According to the theory of elasticity, the amount of centrifugal expansion deformation of the shaft and the inner ring is:

[0039]
[0040] In the formula, u cs u ci These represent the centrifugal expansion deformation of the shaft and the inner ring, respectively; ρ s v s E s and d s These are the density, Poisson's ratio, elastic modulus, and inner diameter of the shaft, respectively; ρ i v i and E i These represent the density, Poisson's ratio, and elastic modulus of the inner ring, respectively; ω is the angular velocity of the inner ring; d, d i These are the inner diameter of the inner ring and the diameter of the inner channel, respectively.
[0041] Step (3) Establish the dynamic model of the angular contact ball bearing, including the following:
[0042] 1) Bearing displacement compatibility equation
[0043] The deformation geometry of the bearing under preload positioning is as follows: Figure 2 As shown. The outer ring and bearing housing are fixed. Therefore, during high-speed operation, the center of curvature of the outer raceway remains constant, while the center of curvature of the inner raceway and the position of the ball centers change. Under the simultaneous action of axial force, radial force, and torque, the relative displacement of the inner and outer rings will change. Under load, considering the thermal and centrifugal effects of the bearing rings, the axial and radial distances A between the initial and final positions of the centers of curvature of the inner and outer raceways will change. 1j A 2j They are represented as follows:
[0044]
[0045] Where A is the distance between the centers of curvature of the inner and outer channels when unloaded, α0 is the initial contact angle, and δ a δ r And θ represents the axial, radial, and angular relative displacements of the bearing, u a u r These represent the axial and radial thermal deformation of the bearing raceway, u. ci This represents the amount of centrifugal deformation.
[0046] The displacement compatibility equation is obtained from the Pythagorean theorem and the geometric relationship of raceway contact deformation:
[0047]
[0048] Among them, X 1j X 2j These are the axial and radial distances between the outer ring curvature center and the ball center, respectively, f i f o These are the curvature coefficients of the inner and outer channels, δ ij δ oj These represent the Hertz contact deformation of the balls with the inner and outer rings under load.
[0049] 2) Force balance equations for bearings
[0050] Force analysis of bearing rolling elements as follows Figure 3 As shown. Force analysis of each bearing rolling element yields the following force balance equation:

[0052] In the formula, Q ij Q oj These are the contact loads between the balls and the raceways of the inner and outer rings of the bearing, F. cj M gj These represent the centrifugal force and gyroscopic torque acting on the ball bearing, respectively, where the centrifugal force... Gyro torque w represents the angular velocity of the bearing.
[0053] When a bearing operates at high speed, the forces acting on it reach a state of equilibrium, and the net force is zero. Therefore, the equilibrium equation for the entire bearing is:
[0054]
[0055] In the formula, F a F r M and M represent the axial force, radial force, and torque acting on the bearing, respectively, and z represents the number of balls.
[0056] Step (4) solves for the dynamic characteristic contact parameters of the bearing, including the following:
[0057] 1) Solving nonlinear equations
[0058] Taking into account the combined effects of bearing ring thermal and centrifugal effects on bearing deformation, a modified displacement compatibility model was used. MATLAB software was employed for dynamic analysis to obtain a series of dynamic characteristic contact parameters. The calculation process is as follows: Figure 4 As shown.
[0059] First, the basic parameters of the bearing are determined. Based on the traditional model, the bearing, spindle shaft, and bearing housing are considered as a whole. Combining the spindle temperature field model, the temperature of each part of the spindle is obtained, and the radial and axial thermal deformation of the inner and outer rings of the bearing, as well as the centrifugal expansion deformation of the inner ring, are calculated. The bearing parameters are shown in Table 1.
[0060]
[0061] Then, based on the bearing parameters, the initial contact angle is set, and the nonlinear equation system consisting of the bearing coordination equation (11), the rolling body force balance equation (12), and the bearing overall balance equation (13) is solved using the Newton-Raphson iteration method. The axial displacement δ is set as the iteration variable. a Radial displacement δ r The angular displacement θ is iterated repeatedly until the variables meet the preset accuracy requirements.
[0062] The calculation results of the bearing thermal deformation and centrifugal expansion deformation were then imported into the bearing displacement deformation equation to obtain the corrected relational equation. The corrected model was iterated multiple times until the convergence condition was met, and the bearing dynamic characteristic contact parameters, including centrifugal force and gyroscopic torque, were obtained.
[0063] 2) Analysis of dynamic contact characteristics of bearings
[0064] Based on different bearing operating conditions, considering thermal and centrifugal effects, the influence of changes in axial force, radial force, and rotational speed on the bearing contact angle, contact load, centrifugal force, and gyroscopic torque is analyzed. Different contact states of the bearing balls are obtained, and their force variation trends are studied. Figures 5-8 show the trends of bearing contact angle, contact load, centrifugal force, and gyroscopic torque as a function of radial force and rotational speed.
