[0004] Therefore, an ultra-high-speed electric spindle performance testing device was developed and designed. The device uses non-contact dynamic loading to reproduce the stress state of the electric spindle bearings under actual working conditions and explore the impact of different working conditions on the dynamic performance of the electric spindle. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art, develop and design an ultra-high-speed electric spindle performance testing device, and solve the problems of low coaxiality, poor stability and high heat generation in the loading mode of the traditional testing device.

[0006] The main structure of an ultra-high-speed electric spindle performance testing device according to the present invention is as follows Figure 1 As shown, it includes an operating table and a three-axis translation table and an electric spindle arranged thereon, as well as an impeller cover connected to the three-axis translation table through an axial pressure sensor, and an impeller connected to the electric spindle;

[0007] Among them, the bottom of the operating table is provided with height-adjustable feet;

[0008] A compression-torsion composite sensor is provided at the end of the impeller cover, and a baffle is provided on the inner wall;

[0009] The electric spindle is arranged on the operating table through an upper slide rail, and a temperature sensor is also arranged on the operating table;

[0010] The impeller extends into the impeller cover.

[0011] The axial pressure sensor 4 of the present invention comprises a spoke-type weighing sensor with an error of less than 0.1%, which is used to collect the pressure of the impeller cover. When the force of the impeller cover is transmitted to the axial pressure sensor, the force measuring element is affected by the external force, the strain gauge is deformed, and the deformation causes the resistance of the strain gauge to change. The magnitude of the applied axial force is determined by the change in resistance. At the same time, the magnitude of the axial force is also the magnitude of the axial force on the bearing of the electric spindle 7.

[0012] The impeller cover takes on the first line of protection during operation, and acts as the load measurement carrier together with the impeller. The impeller rotates to disturb the gas to generate airflow, which acts on the baffle to simulate the working condition of the tool during processing.

[0013] The compression-torsion composite sensor includes a multi-dimensional force composite sensor with multiple strain gauges built in. When the impeller cover has a tendency to move, the strain gauge undergoes a slight deformation, and the deformation generates an electrical signal, which is transmitted to an external device. After receiving the electrical signal, the external device processes the signal to obtain the load applied to the electric spindle and the radial load on the bearing of the electric spindle;

[0014] The electric spindle includes an ultra-high-speed electric spindle for various processing methods, and the bottom is assembled to the slide rail through a fixture so that the electric spindle 7 can move axially and adjust the position;

[0015] The impeller includes an intake impeller of an automobile turbocharger, which is made of nickel-aluminum alloy, is lightweight, and has a maximum speed of 120,000-160,000 rpm. It is assembled with the shaft head of the electric spindle through a tension sleeve. Its geometric characteristics enable the axial force and reverse torque generated by the impeller when it rotates to act on the shaft head of the electric spindle through the tension sleeve, which is used to simulate the working state of the tool during ultra-high-speed electric spindle processing;

[0016] The temperature sensor includes a PT100 temperature sensor, which can convert temperature changes into potential changes. One end is installed inside the electric spindle to measure the real-time temperature rise.

[0017] The working principle of the impeller cover and the impeller involved in the present invention is as follows Figure 2 As shown, the three-axis translation stage is adjusted to make the impeller cover coaxial with the impeller. The impeller rotates in the direction shown by w1, pushing the airflow to diffuse along the axial and radial directions of the impeller cover. The effect of the axial diffusion airflow acting on the inner wall of the impeller cover is equivalent to the axial force F a The radial diffuser airflow w2 acts on the baffle to produce radial and circumferential effects. The circumferential effect makes the impeller cover have a rotational tendency to generate torque. Since the impeller cover is coaxial with the impeller, the radial effect is 0 for the overall integral and does not produce a force effect. The integral of the radial airflow on the circumference is not 0, which produces a radial force effect along a specific direction. Based on this, loading and measurement are achieved in a non-contact manner.

[0018] Among them, the torque can be adjusted by changing the length, angle or size of the baffle;

[0019] Changing the distance between the impeller and the inner end surface of the impeller cover can adjust the axial force;

[0020] By changing the relative position of the impeller and the impeller cover in the Y-axis direction, the radial force can be adjusted.

[0021] An ultra-high-speed electric spindle performance testing device involved in the present invention clamps an impeller at the position where the tool is installed on the electric spindle. The resistance generated by the rotation of the impeller is used to simulate the radial force and axial force exerted on the tool during operation, reproduce the stress state of the electric spindle bearings under actual working conditions, and explore the influence of different working conditions on the dynamic performance of the electric spindle.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention couples the automobile turbocharger impeller to the ultra-high-speed electric spindle, takes the resistance of the impeller rotating with the air as the loading load, accurately loads through a three-axis coordinate table, adopts an impeller to simulate the tool processing process, uses an impeller cover to change the load, reproduces various processing conditions of the ultra-high-speed electric spindle, realizes non-contact loading through gas transmission, reduces the problems of inaccurate data collection and overheating of the electric spindle caused by other physical factors, and measures the temperature rise and torque of the electric spindle support bearing in real time through an axial pressure sensor, a compression-torsion composite sensor and a PT100 temperature sensor; the present invention has a simple structure, uses the resistance of the impeller rotation and the air to radially and axially load the electric spindle, is suitable for various ultra-high-speed electric spindles, does not affect the collection of basic parameters of the electric spindle, and the measurement results are used to evaluate the overall service performance of the electric spindle, which is of great significance for the technical development of ultra-high-speed electric spindles and practical engineering applications.
