TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of numerical control machine tool design, and relates to a small single-swing-head five-axis machining center capable of realizing liquid nitrogen internal spraying type cooling machining. BACKGROUND
[0002] Liquid nitrogen cooling machining is a new green machining technology, which can greatly reduce the cutting temperature and improve the surface integrity of difficult-to-machine material parts. Meanwhile, liquid nitrogen is a clean and non-polluting cooling medium, and there is no residue on the surface of the parts after machining, and no cleaning is required. For drilling or complex curved surface milling machining, compared with external spraying cooling, internal spraying cooling in the tool can more accurately enter the cutting area, so the liquid nitrogen internal spraying cooling is very suitable for machining of difficult-to-machine material parts with extremely high surface cleanliness requirements. For titanium alloy artificial joints, titanium alloy interbody fusion cages, titanium alloy abutment teeth, polyether ether ketone orthopedic stents and other human implants, there are problems of insufficient conventional cooling or insufficient cleanliness in cutting machining, which leads to rough machining surface of the parts, significant edge burrs and subsequent finishing and cleaning process is complicated. Therefore, for such small size difficult-to-machine material human implants with complex surface shape, liquid nitrogen internal spraying type cooling multi-axis linkage machining has unique advantages.
[0003] Therefore, the liquid nitrogen internal spraying small single-swing-head five-axis machining center can be one of the equipment for high-quality and efficient clean drilling and milling machining of human implants. However, in the compact space of the small machining center, the liquid nitrogen passes through the single-swing-head, the electric spindle and the tool inner cavity to realize the controllable liquid nitrogen internal spraying cooling function, and the conventional machine tool structure obviously cannot work. For example, different materials of human implants or different machining features have different requirements for the liquid nitrogen flow, pressure or cooling temperature, so it is necessary to reasonably arrange the liquid nitrogen transmission and control system in the limited machine tool space, and the system should also have good heat insulation capacity. Since the temperature and flow of liquid nitrogen are often closely related, the temperature cannot be adjusted independently, and for this purpose, different cooling processes during cutting can be used to change the temperature. Finally, the most difficult one is how to pass the liquid nitrogen through the single-swing milling head without affecting its normal operation. The heat insulation during the transmission of liquid nitrogen near-196 DEG C, the ultra-low temperature dynamic sealing at the junction of the static pipeline and the multi-degree-of-freedom rotating pipeline, and the automatic tool changing of the liquid nitrogen internal spraying electric spindle are all extremely challenging.
[0004] At present, in order to realize the liquid nitrogen internal spraying type cooling processing, some processing devices are invented by domestic and foreign institutions. In 2010, the company limited in invention patent 201080018034.3 discloses "a device for conveying low temperature fluid through machine tool spindle axis", which transmits liquid nitrogen in the spindle by using static vacuum pipeline, but the spindle is a mechanical spindle, and the multi-degree-of-freedom swing head structure is not involved. In 2018, Dalian University of Technology discloses "a super low temperature medium internal spraying type numerical control machine tool" in invention patent 201810144333.X, which has the function of liquid nitrogen internal spraying type cooling through the spindle, and can control the liquid nitrogen transmission parameter, but the machine tool is a three-axis vertical milling machine using mechanical spindle, and its technical features cannot realize the single swing head connected electric spindle and internal spraying of liquid nitrogen. In 2019, Dalian University of Technology discloses "a honeycomb sealing structure tool holder for liquid nitrogen hollow conveying" in invention patent 201911212427.7, which can also realize the liquid nitrogen internal spraying type cooling processing of the tool, but the liquid nitrogen enters from the outside of the tool holder and does not pass through the spindle. If the tool holder is installed in the single swing head five-axis machining center, the external connected liquid nitrogen conveying pipeline will move with the swing of the spindle, which not only interferes with the cutting processing, but also easily breaks the connection.
