Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated machining in aerospace manufacturing, and discloses an automated prediction system and method for CNC tool life. Background Technology

[0002] Aero engines are hailed as the "crown jewel" of modern industry. Aero components are highly valuable and have long development cycles. Currently, the wear of CNC cutting tools in the industry is mostly measured manually. The remaining safe service life of CNC cutting tools, that is, the service life of CNC cutting tools, is mostly judged manually after measurement or the service life is specified. This is inefficient and the judgment error of CNC cutting tool processing time is large. It is easy to cause CNC cutting tools to break during processing or be judged as scrap tools too early, which affects the processing efficiency of aero engine parts or causes problems such as high CNC cutting tool usage costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated prediction system and method for CNC tool life, which can accurately predict the remaining safe machining time of CNC tools, providing reliable support for efficient and high-precision automated machining of aero-engine parts.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A method for predicting the life of CNC tools, comprising:

[0006] Obtain the full life machining time data of CNC tools of the same model and material reaching the maximum allowable wear value, as well as the machining time, depth of cut, width of cut, cutting speed and historical data of cumulative tool wear before each machining process;

[0007] Based on the total machining time data of CNC tools and the machining time of each machining process, the remaining machining life value of CNC tools after each machining is obtained by analysis;

[0008] Using the depth of cut, width of cut, cutting speed and cumulative tool wear before each machining process as independent variables and the remaining machining life of the CNC tool after each machining process as the dependent variable, a prediction model for the remaining machining life of the CNC tool after each machining process is constructed.

[0009] Based on the depth of cut, width of cut, cutting speed of the current machining or machining process, and the cumulative tool wear before the current machining or machining process, the remaining cutting life of the tool after the completion of the current machining or machining process is obtained by using the prediction model.

[0010] Furthermore, the prediction model for the remaining machining life of the CNC tool after each machining operation is as follows: Where T i V represents the remaining machining life of the CNC tool after the i-th machining process is completed. B Q represents the maximum allowable wear value of the cutting tool. i A represents the cumulative tool wear before the i-th machining process. i H represents the depth of cut data for the i-th machining process. i V represents the cutting width data for the i-th processing step. i Let be the cutting speed of the i-th machining process, where a is a coefficient, and m, n, p, and q are exponents. a, m, n, p, and q are obtained through data fitting.

[0011] Furthermore, the cumulative tool wear before each machining operation is taken as the maximum value between the tool diameter wear and the tool length wear.

[0012] Furthermore, the cumulative wear of the cutting tool is obtained through machine vision measurement.

[0013] To achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, the present invention also provides an automated prediction system for CNC tool life, comprising:

[0015] The data analysis module is used to analyze and obtain the remaining machining life value of the CNC tool after each machining process based on the CNC tool's total machining life data and the machining time of each machining process.

[0016] The model building module is used to construct a prediction model for the remaining machining life of the CNC tool after each machining process, with the depth of cut, width of cut, cutting speed and cumulative tool wear before the corresponding machining process as independent variables and the remaining machining life of the CNC tool after the corresponding machining as the dependent variable.

[0017] The prediction module is used to analyze and obtain the remaining cutting life of the tool after the current machining or machining process is completed, based on the depth of cut, width of cut, cutting speed of the current machining or machining process and the cumulative tool wear before the current machining or machining process.

[0018] Furthermore, the prediction model constructed in the model building module is: Where T i V represents the remaining machining life of the CNC tool after the i-th machining process is completed. B Q represents the maximum allowable wear value of the cutting tool.i A represents the cumulative tool wear before the i-th machining process. i H represents the depth of cut data for the i-th machining process. i V represents the cutting width data for the i-th processing step. i Let be the cutting speed of the i-th machining process, α be a coefficient, and m, n, p, q be exponents. α, m, n, p, q are obtained through data fitting.

[0019] Furthermore, in the model building module, the cumulative tool wear before each machining operation is taken as the maximum value between the tool diameter wear and the tool length wear.

[0020] Furthermore, in the data acquisition module or the prediction module, the cumulative wear of the cutting tool is obtained through machine vision measurement.

[0021] Furthermore, it also includes a display module, which displays the remaining cutting life time of the corresponding CNC tool based on the prediction results in the prediction module.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Based on the full life-cycle machining time data of CNC tools, as well as the historical data of machining time, depth of cut, width of cut, cutting speed, and cumulative tool wear before each machining process, this invention constructs a predictive model for the remaining machining life of CNC tools after each machining operation. This predictive model takes into account the historical cumulative wear and relevant process parameters in the current machining process, and can accurately predict the remaining safe machining time of CNC tools, providing reliable support for efficient and high-precision automated machining of aero-engine parts.

[0030] Based on the total machining time data of CNC tools and the machining time of each machining process, the remaining machining life value of CNC tools after each machining is obtained by analysis;

[0031] Using the depth of cut, width of cut, cutting speed and cumulative tool wear before each machining process as independent variables and the remaining machining life of the CNC tool after each machining process as the dependent variable, a prediction model for the remaining machining life of the CNC tool after each machining process is constructed.

[0032] Based on the depth of cut, width of cut, cutting speed of the current machining or machining process, and the cumulative tool wear before the current machining or machining process, the remaining cutting life of the tool after the completion of the current machining or machining process is obtained by using the prediction model.

[0035] To further ensure the accuracy of the prediction model and provide operators with reliable remaining safe machining time, the cumulative tool wear before each machining operation in this embodiment is taken as the maximum value between the tool diameter wear and the tool length wear. Furthermore, the tool diameter wear and tool length wear in this embodiment are obtained through machine vision measurement.
