TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of machinery, and particularly relates to a bearing pre-tightening force intelligent regulation and control assembly based on piezoelectric ceramics. BACKGROUND
[0002] Piezoelectric ceramics have the advantages of large output power, high control precision and fast response speed, and can realize precise displacement output and accurate force output.
[0003] Pre-tightening force, as an important parameter of a bearing system, directly affects the performance of a rotor system such as an electric spindle and a motor. At present, the traditional pre-tightening force applying mode is mainly determined by a recommended pre-tightening value of a bearing manufacturer according to the rotation speed, cutting load, driving mode, lubrication and cooling mode of the spindle. This mode is selected by experience, lacks accurate standards, and cannot adjust the running state of the bearing in real time according to the actual working condition of the spindle. Therefore, the spindle cannot exert optimal performance under different working conditions, and cannot guarantee the dynamic and thermal state characteristics of the spindle system in the entire rotation speed range. If a pre-tightening force active control unit is integrated on the spindle to intelligently adjust the pre-tightening force of the bearing, the same spindle can adapt to different working conditions, and the optimal pre-tightening force under the working condition can be applied to the spindle rotor system in real time, which can effectively suppress spindle vibration, reduce working temperature, improve spindle stiffness and service life, exert the optimal performance of the bearing under different working conditions, and has very important engineering significance.
