Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0063] Application Overview:

[0064] At present, there are many anti-splash safety protection methods and technologies for machine tools on the market, such as the use of protective covers, baffles, suction fans and other devices to block or absorb the splashes generated during the processing process. These technologies can reduce the damage caused by splashes to operators and equipment to a certain extent and improve the safety of the processing environment; however, with the continuous changes in processing requirements and the continuous advancement of technology, the existing anti-splash safety protection methods and technologies still have certain limitations and shortcomings.

[0065] Although the existing anti-splash safety protection methods and technologies for machine tools have achieved certain results, the following problems still exist: First, the design and installation of protective devices often lack specificity and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to specific processing conditions and splash characteristics, resulting in limited protection effects; second, for splashes of different types and characteristics, the existing protection measures often lack comprehensiveness and systematicness, making it difficult to form an effective protection system; in addition, the existing anti-splash safety protection methods and technologies also have deficiencies in real-time monitoring and effect evaluation, and are unable to promptly detect and deal with failures or deficiencies in protective devices, affecting the reliability and stability of protection.

[0066] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention proposes a method and system for anti-splash safety protection for machine tools, establishes a comprehensive and effective anti-splash safety protection system for machine tools, and provides all-round safety protection for operators and equipment.

[0067] Exemplary methods:

[0068] like Figure 1 As shown, a splash protection method for machine tools comprises the following steps:

[0069] S1. The system predicts the type of spatter that may be generated during machine tool processing based on the processing material and tool type;

[0070] S2. Combine processing parameters to simulate the generation of spatter under different processing conditions and obtain the key characteristics of spatter;

[0071] S3, simulating the effect of coolant spraying on splashes, and outputting a distribution map of the splashes;

[0072] S4. Conduct risk assessment on splashes based on simulation results and determine the protection priority level;

[0073] S5. Formulate protective measures according to the protection priority level, and monitor the generation and distribution of splashes in real time to issue early warnings;

[0074] Specifically, in step S1, the step of predicting the type of spatter that may be generated during the machining process of the machine tool includes:

[0075] S11. The system collects basic information about the physical and chemical properties of the processed materials, as well as the geometry, material, and cutting angle of different tool types;

[0076] S12. Based on the collected basic information, combined with historical processing experience and experimental data, establish a database containing the types of spatter that may be generated under different processing materials, tool types and their combinations;

[0077] S13, predicting the type of spatter that may be generated during the machine tool processing based on the database according to the current processing material, tool type and cutting parameters;

[0078] Processed materials include: metals, plastics and composites;

[0079] Physical properties include: hardness, toughness, and melting point;

[0080] Chemical properties include: whether it is easily oxidized and whether it contains harmful ingredients;

[0081] Tool types include: turning tools, milling cutters and drills;

[0082] Tool geometry includes: tip radius, rake angle, and relief angle;

[0083] Tool material: high speed steel, carbide, ceramic;

[0084] Cutting angle: including rake angle, back angle and main deflection angle;

[0085] By systematically collecting this basic information, accurate data support can be provided for the subsequent establishment of a spatter database and prediction of spatter types.

[0086] Design the database table structure, including the processing material table, tool type table, and spatter type table; the table contains necessary fields, including: material name, physical properties, chemical properties, tool type, geometry, material, cutting angle, spatter type, shape, and size;

[0087] Set the relationship between tables, the association between the processing material table and the tool type table, and the association between the processing material table, the tool type table and the spatter type table to ensure that data can be easily queried and retrieved.

[0088] In step S12, based on the collected basic information, combined with historical processing experience and experimental data, the system establishes a database containing the types of spatter that may be produced under different processing materials, tool types and their combinations. This database will serve as an important basis for the subsequent prediction of spatter types.

[0089] In step S13, the system needs to predict the type of spatter that may be generated during the machine tool processing process based on the current processing material, tool type and cutting parameters, using the spatter database established in step S12.

[0090] The prediction steps include:

[0091] Input the current processing materials and their physical and chemical properties into the system;

[0092] Enter the type of tool currently being used and its geometry, material and cutting angle;

[0093] According to the input processing material and tool type, similar historical records or experimental data are searched in the established spatter database;

[0094] Match the retrieved historical records or experimental data with the current processing conditions to find the most similar case;

[0095] Based on the matching results, the system predicts the types of spatter that may be generated under the current processing conditions, including the shape and size of the spatter; the shapes of the spatter include: granular, flake and mist; the sizes of the spatter include: microparticles, small particles and large particles.

[0096] Particle splashes have a diameter of less than 1 mm; small particle splashes have a diameter between 1 mm and 5 mm; large particle splashes have a diameter greater than 5 mm; flake splashes are thin flakes formed by tearing or peeling of materials during the cutting process, and have irregular shapes and sizes; mist splashes are composed of extremely fine droplets or particles.

[0097] Specifically, through the similarity matching method, the similarity between the current processing conditions and the historical records or experimental data in the database is calculated to find the closest case.

[0098] Take the weighted Euclidean distance method as an example:

[0099] Given the current processing condition P = (p1, p2, ..., p n ), where n is the dimension of the processing condition, p i represents the value of the i-th processing condition;

[0100] A historical record or experimental data in the database is H = (h1, h2, ..., h n ); Weighted Euclidean distance between the current processing condition P and the data H in the database Among them, ω i is the weight of the i-th processing condition;

[0101] Sort the calculated weighted Euclidean distances from small to large, and select the smallest data as the most similar case.

[0102] Specifically, in step S2,

[0103] The system receives the currently used processing material, tool type and specific processing parameters, including: cutting speed, feed rate and cutting depth;

[0104] Configure the machining parameters required for simulation, cutting speed V c , feed speed f, cutting depth a p ;

[0105] Use finite element analysis or discrete element method numerical simulation technology to simulate the cutting process and obtain the key characteristics of spatter, including: spatter speed, spatter trajectory, spatter quantity;

[0106] The speed of the splash is estimated by the principle of conservation of energy. Among them, W c is the cutting power, m is the mass of spatter, and l is a coefficient related to cutting speed, feed rate, and cutting depth;

[0107] Use Newton's second law and the air resistance equation to simulate the trajectory of the splash:

[0108] in, is the position vector, is the acceleration due to gravity, k is the drag coefficient, is the velocity vector of the splash;

[0109] The relationship between the amount of spatter and cutting parameters can be fitted by experimental data Among them, a, b, c, and d are fitting coefficients.

[0110] The specific content of step S3 is to simulate the influence of the coolant spray mode and flow rate on the splashes and output the distribution map of the splashes. The purpose is to observe the influence of the coolant spray mode and flow rate on the splash behavior by changing the coolant spray mode and flow rate, so as to find the best coolant application strategy to reduce the generation and diffusion of splashes.

[0111] In step S3,

[0112] The flow of coolant is simulated by computational fluid dynamics software, and the effects of coolant injection angle, injection pressure and injection flow rate on coolant distribution are calculated;

[0113] Simulate the interaction between coolant and splash, including the cooling effect and impact effect of coolant on splash;

[0114] The coolant can slow down the speed of the splashes by increasing the resistance. Suppose the resistance F r and splash velocity V p is proportional to the square of r =k v V p , where k v is the drag coefficient, which depends on the properties of the coolant and the surface characteristics of the splash;

[0115] The speed of splash V p The relationship with time t is Among them, V p0 is the initial velocity of the splash;

[0116] The impact of the coolant changes the trajectory of the splashing objects, which can be simulated by adding an additional force term to Newton's second law, F = F g +F d +F c , where F g ,F d ,F c The force is gravity, air resistance and coolant impact;

[0117] Coolant can reduce the amount of spatter. Coolant helps stabilize the cutting area and reduce irregular fracture of the material. Among them, N s is the amount of splash after cooling, Q is the coolant flow rate;

[0118] As the coolant action time increases, the speed of the splashing material gradually decreases. By adjusting the coolant spray parameters including spray angle, pressure, and flow rate, k v value, thereby more effectively slowing down the speed of the splash and achieving the purpose of controlling the splash.

[0119] During the simulation, the system generates a series of data, including the location, speed, and quantity of splashes, which are updated over time;

[0120] Collect the x, y, z coordinates of all splashes at each time, as well as their speed and size characteristics;

[0121] Based on the above simulation results, a distribution map of the splash is generated.

[0122] In step S4, based on the simulation results of steps S1 to S3, a risk assessment is performed on the splashes to determine the protection priority level;

[0123] Identify risk indicators:

[0124] Splash velocity V p : High-speed splashing objects are more likely to cause harm;

[0125] Number of splashes N s : Large number of splashes increases potential risks;

[0126] Splash form M: Splashes of different forms have different effects on operators and equipment;

[0127] Splash size S: Large particle splashes may cause greater physical damage, while fine particles and mist splashes may cause harm to the respiratory system;

[0128] Distribution range R of splash: The wider the distribution range, the more difficult it is to protect and the higher the risk;

[0129] According to the above risk assessment indicators, assign weights to each indicator and calculate the total risk score: R s =ω v V p +ω n N s +ω m M+ω s S+ω R R, where ω v is the splash velocity weight, ω n is the splash weight, ω m is the splash shape weight, ω s is the splash size weight, ω R is the splash distribution range weight;

[0130] According to the calculated risk scores, the protection levels of different areas are ranked and the protection priority is determined; the priority levels are divided into three categories: low risk, medium risk, and high risk; the higher the risk score, the more dangerous it is.

[0131] In step S5, formulating protective measures includes:

[0132] Low-risk areas: Wear basic personal protective equipment; regularly inspect and maintain equipment to ensure it operates normally;

[0133] Medium-risk areas: Install transparent protective screens around machine tools to prevent splashes from flying directly toward operators; use local ventilation systems to reduce airborne particles and mist splashes; increase the amount of coolant sprayed to further reduce the generation of splashes;

[0134] High-risk areas: Install fully enclosed protective covers to ensure that operators are completely isolated from splashes; install efficient ventilation equipment to promptly exhaust air containing particles and mist splashes to prevent operators from inhaling harmful substances; set emergency stop buttons in high-risk areas to immediately stop machine operation if any abnormal situation is found.

[0136] A splash protection system for a machine tool, comprising:

[0137] Data collection and processing module, used to collect data such as physical and chemical properties of processing materials, basic information of tool types, and processing parameters;
