Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of intelligent monitoring, and particularly relates to a tool wear and breakage adaptive monitoring method and system based on power signals. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a tool commonly used in mechanical manufacturing, a tool plays an important role in precision machining. In the numerical control milling process, tool wear and breakage is one of the common faults of numerical control machine tools. Tool wear and breakage has a great influence on the energy consumption of the machine tool spindle and is directly related to the machining quality of the part. Relevant research results show that tool wear is the root cause of tool failure, and the maintenance cost caused by tool failure accounts for 15% to 40% of the cost of goods produced, and the downtime caused by tool failure accounts for about 20% of the total downtime of the tool. Therefore, real-time monitoring of the tool state is very critical.

[0003] Tool wear and breakage monitoring has always been a very critical technology in automated processing. It is an important means to realize production process automation, unmanned operation, ensure product quality, improve production efficiency, and reduce equipment failure. However, due to the harsh environment in the actual cutting process, the diversity of tools and workpieces, and the large amount of discrete data collected, actual monitoring is very difficult.

[0004] There are many tool wear and breakage monitoring methods. According to the different principles of tool wear detection, tool wear monitoring is mainly divided into direct monitoring and indirect monitoring. Direct monitoring refers to judging the wear state by identifying the geometric shape of the cutting edge, the surface quality or measuring the change of the tool cutting edge parameters, such as optical measurement method, resistance measurement method, computer image processing method, etc. Indirect monitoring method monitors not the tool itself, but the signals related to the tool itself, such as cutting force, acoustic emission, vibration, current and power signal, etc. According to the change of the signal in the cutting process, the tool state information is obtained. It is worth noting that although the indirect monitoring method is difficult to construct a model and has lower accuracy than the direct method, the sensor used is easy to install, can be monitored in real time and online, and has lower detection cost. Therefore, the indirect method has been widely used in tool wear monitoring in the past few years. Among them, the power signal monitoring sensor is easy to install and generally does not affect the machine tool processing, and has high signal-to-noise ratio, so the power monitoring method becomes the main method selected in this paper. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the disadvantages of high monitoring cost and inconvenience of real-time monitoring of direct monitoring method, and to propose a tool wear and breakage adaptive monitoring method and system based on power signals. The method constructs an adaptive alarm algorithm, which can realize adaptive monitoring of tool wear and breakage, and reduces the requirement for the user's own experience.

[0006] Before the tool wear self-adaptive monitoring method based on power signal is proposed, the self-adaptive alarm system is first proposed, which is described in detail as follows.

[0007] 1) In the cutting state of the tool, the current signal and voltage signal of the tool driving motor are sampled at equal time intervals (power grid frequency 50 Hz, period 20 ms, sampling frequency M*50, M can be 32, 64, 128, 256).

[0008] 2) M voltage values U t ,U t+1 ,...,U M-1 and corresponding current signal values I t ,I t+1 ,...,I M-1 collected in step 1) are sequentially sampled, and the average power P t at time t is calculated.

[0009]

[0010] 3) The position of time t is slid by the value of M divided by 10, and step 2) is repeated.

[0011] 4) According to K (K≥60) average power signals obtained in step 3) in sequence, the training data set T = {X1,X2,…,X K} of power is preprocessed, and the first-order difference feature of the training data set T is extracted, that is, the feature training set S = {Y1,Y2,…,Y K} of power is obtained.

[0012] 5) The probability density f(Y) of the training set S is derived as:

[0013]

[0014] Under the assumption that its distribution is Gaussian distribution, the mean m and standard deviation h of the training set S are:

[0015]

[0016] According to the Lydard criterion, set the initial threshold P1 of the training set S, and the parameter λ controls the upper and lower limits, and the upper and lower limits are P1_up and P1_low respectively, which are:

[0017] P1_up = m + λ*h

[0018] P1_low = m - λ*h

[0019] 6) All data of the training data set T are sorted in ascending order to obtain the data set Z = {Z1,Z2,…,Z MThe first quantile Q1 and the third quantile Q3 of the data set Z are calculated and expressed as:

[0020]

[0021] As known from the above, the interquartile range IQR of the training data set Z is derived as:

[0022]

[0023] The initial threshold P2, alpha of the training data set T is determined according to the multiple interquartile range principle, and the upper and lower limits thereof are represented as P2_up and P2_low, respectively, and the determination manner is as follows:

[0024] P2_up = Q3 + alpha * IQR

[0025] P2_low = Q1 - alpha * IQR

[0026] 7) With the lapse of running time, whether the K+1th X k+1 and Y k+1 is out of the limit is judged by P2, and P1, respectively;

[0027] The working method of the adaptive alarm system is as follows: when Y k+1 is within the threshold P1_up and P 1- low, the system judges that the state is normal; when X k+1 is within the threshold P2_up and P2_low, the system judges that the state is normal; when Y k+1 is out of the threshold P1_up and P 1- low, and X k+1 is within the threshold P2_up and P2_low, the system judges that the state is normal; when Y k+1 is out of the threshold P1_up and P 1- low, and X k+1 is out of the threshold P2_up and P2_low, the system judges that the state is an alarm state.

[0028] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows:

[0032] 2) The M voltage values U t ,U t+1 ,...,U M-1 and corresponding current signal values I t ,I t+1 ,...,I M-1 successively collected in step 1) are used to calculate the average power P t at time t.

[0033]

[0034] 3) The position of time t is slid by a value of M divided by 10, and step 2) is repeated.

[0035] 4) According to the K (K≥60) average power signals successively obtained in step 3), the training data set T = {X1,X2,…,X K} of power is preprocessed, and the first-order difference feature of the training data set T is extracted, that is, the feature training set S = {Y1,Y2,…,Y K} of power is obtained.

[0036] 5) The probability density f(Y) of the training set S is derived as:

[0037]

[0041] P1_up = m + λ*h

[0042] P1_low = m - λ*h

[0043] 6) All data of the training data set T are sorted in ascending order to obtain the data set Z = {Z1,Z2,…,Z M}, and the first quantile Q1 and the third quantile Q3 of the data set Z are calculated, which are:

[0044]

[0045] From the above, the interquartile range IQR of the training data set Z is derived as:

[0046]

[0047] The initial threshold P2,α of the training data set T is determined according to the multiple interquartile range principle, which is an empirical parameter artificially selected, and the upper and lower limits thereof are represented as P2_up and P2_low respectively, and the determination method is as follows:

[0048] P2_up = Q3 + α * IQR

[0049] P2_low = Q1 - α * IQR

[0050] 7) With the passage of time, P2, and P1 are used to determine whether the K+1th X k+1 and Y k+1 is out of the limit;
