[0002] Horizontal machining center is a kind of high-efficiency machining equipment widely used in modern manufacturing industry, mainly used for machining polyhedral parts. Polyhedral parts usually have multiple surfaces that need to be machined, so during the machining process, each machining surface must be positioned and set up with the corresponding coordinate system. This step is particularly important in traditional machining methods, because each time the machining surface is changed, it needs to be re-centered to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the machining.

[0003] Traditional centering operations are usually completed mechanically or manually, and operators need to spend a lot of time and energy to accurately position each processing surface one by one. Although this method can meet the processing needs, it is inefficient and there is a possibility of human error. In addition, since the process of establishing a coordinate system through multiple centering is relatively complicated, it places high demands on the operator's technical level and experience.

[0009] Updating the initial processing surface to a processing surface corresponding to the workpiece to be processed when the workpiece is rotated by the set transformation angle;

[0010] The coordinates of the end point are determined according to the coordinates of the rotation center, the coordinates of the workpiece coordinate center and the set transformation angle by using trigonometric function transformation; the end point is the starting point of the updated initial processing surface.

[0011] In one embodiment, the use of trigonometric function transformation to determine the coordinates of the end point according to the coordinates of the rotation center, the coordinates of the workpiece coordinate center and the set transformation angle includes:

[0012] The coordinates of the end point are calculated using the following formula:

[0013] x2=x0+(x0-x1)×cosB-(z0-z1)×sinB

[0014] z2=z0+(x0-x1)×sinB+(z0-z1)×cosB

[0015] Among them, (x2, z2) represents the coordinates of the end point, (x1, z1) represents the coordinates of the workpiece coordinate center, (x0, z0) represents the coordinates of the rotation center, and B represents the set transformation angle.

[0016] In one embodiment, before the horizontal machining workbench rotates and sets a transformation angle according to a preset machining trajectory to machine the initial machining surface, the machining method further includes:

[0017] The length of a tool for machining the workpiece to be machined is obtained, and the position of the tool from the initial machining surface is determined according to the preset machining trajectory.

[0018] In one embodiment, after the initial machining surface is updated, the position of the tool relative to the initial machining surface is updated.

[0019] In one embodiment, the tool length is the distance from the tool tip to the end face of the spindle of the horizontal machining center.

[0020] According to a second aspect, an embodiment provides a horizontal machining center, comprising:

[0021] Bed, used to support the workbench;

[0022] The spindle is used to mount the tool;

[0023] A workbench, used to fix the workpiece to be processed;

[0024] A control system is provided to obtain the rotation center of the worktable; set the machining surface of any one side of the workpiece to be machined as the initial machining surface, and obtain the workpiece coordinate center of the initial machining surface; with the workpiece coordinate center as the starting point, the control system controls the worktable to rotate the set transformation angle according to the preset machining trajectory to machine the initial machining surface, and obtain the end point of the workpiece to be machined after the machining is completed according to the preset machining trajectory; update the initial machining surface to the machining surface corresponding to the workpiece to be machined when it is rotated by the set transformation angle; use trigonometric function transformation to determine the coordinates of the end point according to the coordinates of the rotation center, the coordinates of the workpiece coordinate center and the set transformation angle; the end point is the starting point of the updated initial machining surface.

[0025] In one embodiment, the control system uses the following formula to calculate the coordinates of the end point:

[0026] x2=x0+(x0-x1)×cosB-(z0-z1)×sinB

When the workpiece to be machined is machined, the worktable of the horizontal machining center is rotated according to the preset machining trajectory to set the transformation angle to machine the initial machining surface and determine the end point of the machining. The coordinates of the end point are calculated according to the coordinates of the rotation center, the coordinates of the workpiece coordinate center and the set transformation angle using trigonometric function transformation, wherein the end point is the starting point of the updated initial machining surface, and the machining is carried out in this cycle. After the worktable of the horizontal machining center rotates, the coordinates of the end point are calculated using trigonometric function transformation, so that the coordinates of the end point are used as the workpiece coordinate center of the updated initial machining surface, so that the operator does not need to manually align the coordinates of each point of the updated initial machining surface, which greatly simplifies the machining process, improves production efficiency, and reduces errors in operation.

[0041] The serial numbers of the components in this document, such as "first", "second", etc., are only used to distinguish the objects described and do not have any order or technical meaning. The "connection" and "coupling" mentioned in this application, unless otherwise specified, include direct and indirect connections (couplings).

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment, a horizontal machining center 100 is provided, and the horizontal machining workbench 100 includes a bed 110, a spindle 120, a workbench 130 and a control system 140.

[0043] In one embodiment, the bed 110 is the main structure of the horizontal machining center 100 and is used to support a workbench. High-rigidity castings are usually used to ensure machining accuracy and stability.

[0044] In one embodiment, the spindle 120 is a component for mounting a tool, and the rotation speed and positioning direction of the tool can be controlled by the spindle 120 .

[0045] In one embodiment, the workbench 130 is used to fix the workpiece to be processed, and the workbench 130 moves within a certain range to process the workpiece to be processed.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 In one embodiment, a corresponding program is executed in the control system 140 to implement a processing method for a horizontal machining workbench, and the method includes the following steps.

[0047] Step S131: Obtain the rotation center of the horizontal machining center.

[0048] In one embodiment, the center of rotation of the worktable of the horizontal machining center is the central axis point of the worktable during rotational motion. For workpieces to be processed that require multi-faceted processing or complex shapes, the worktable can rotate around the center of rotation so that the tool can contact the workpiece from different angles, thereby achieving more complex processing operations.

[0049] Step S132: Obtain the workpiece coordinate center of the initial processing surface.

[0050] In one embodiment, any one machining surface of the workpiece to be machined is set as the initial machining surface, and the workpiece coordinate center of the initial machining surface is determined. The workpiece coordinate center is determined based on the geometric shape of the workpiece to be machined and the design drawing, and is a reference point in the workpiece to be machined, usually located at a specific position of the workpiece to be machined, such as the geometric center of the workpiece to be machined or the center of the initial machining surface.

[0051] It should be noted that the workpiece coordinate center can be defined according to processing needs, which is usually related to the geometric shape, design requirements and processing tasks of the workpiece itself. It can be located at the center of the initial processing surface, the vertex of the workpiece or other specific positions.

[0052] Step S133: Obtain all tool lengths required for processing the workpiece.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment, when processing the workpiece to be processed, the tool length needs to be considered, wherein the tool length is the distance from the tool tip to the spindle of the horizontal machining center. The tool length will directly affect the positioning of the tool with respect to the initial machining surface, and determining the tool length can ensure that the cutting edge of the tool accurately reaches the initial machining surface. If the tool length is incorrect, the tool may not cut in place (insufficient length) or cut excessively (too long), resulting in deviations in machining accuracy. In addition, during the machining process of different initial machining surfaces, it is necessary to accurately control the cutting depth of the tool in the workpiece, that is, it is necessary to determine the position of the tool from the initial machining surface. The correct setting of the tool position helps the CNC system to accurately calculate the machining depth, ensure that the cutting level is accurate, and ensure that the size and shape of the final workpiece meet the design requirements.

[0054] Step S134: processing the initial processing surface of the workpiece to be processed.

[0055] In one embodiment, after the rotation center of the workpiece to be processed and the workpiece coordinate center of the initial processing surface are determined, the worktable of the horizontal machining center is rotated according to the preset processing trajectory by the set transformation angle with the workpiece coordinate center as the starting point to process the initial processing surface. After the initial processing surface is processed, the tool stops at the end point where the workpiece to be processed is processed according to the preset processing trajectory. Since the worktable of the horizontal machining center is rotated according to the set transformation angle when processing the initial processing surface, when the tool stops at the end point, the initial processing surface is updated to the processing surface corresponding to the workpiece to be processed when it is rotated by the set transformation angle.

[0056] In one embodiment, when the updated initial processing surface is processed, it is necessary to re-determine the starting point of the updated initial processing surface, so the end point is used as the starting point of the updated initial processing surface.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment, when determining the coordinates of the end point, the coordinates of the end point are determined by using trigonometric function transformation according to the coordinates of the rotation center, the coordinates of the workpiece coordinate center and the set transformation angle, which can be calculated specifically by the following formula:

[0058] x2=x0+(x0-x1)×cosB-(z0-z1)×sinB

[0059] z2=z0+(x0-x1)×sinB+(z0-z1)×cosB

[0060] Among them, (x2, z2) represents the coordinates of the end point, (x1, z1) represents the coordinates of the workpiece coordinate center, (x0, z0) represents the coordinates of the rotation center, and B represents the set transformation angle. Since the worktable of the horizontal machining center rotates around the y-axis, the coordinates of the y-axis of the worktable of the horizontal machining center will not change during the rotation process, so when calculating the coordinates of the end point, the y-axis is not involved in the calculation.

[0061] It should be noted that Figure 5 For example, with the B0 surface as the initial processing surface, the control system 140 executes the processing of the workpiece to be processed according to the following macro program O9012. Among them, the coordinates of the rotation center are copied into G55 in the macro program O9012, and the coordinates of the workpiece coordinate center are copied into G56 in the macro program O9012. When it is necessary to process the B90 surface, the macro program O9012 is added before the execution program of the B90 surface, and the calculated coordinates of the end point are used to update G56 in the macro program O9012.

[0062] #100=#5261 (G56, x-axis coordinate of the workpiece coordinate center)

[0063] #101=#5262 (G56, y-axis coordinate of the workpiece coordinate center)

[0064] #102=#5263 (G56, z-axis coordinate of the workpiece coordinate center)

[0065] #106 = #5241-#100 (G55, the distance from the x-axis coordinate of the work coordinate center to the x-axis coordinate of the rotation center)

[0066] #107=0 (G55, the distance from the y-axis coordinate of the work coordinate center to the y-axis coordinate of the rotation center)

[0067] #108 = #5243-#102 (G55, the distance from the z-axis coordinate of the work coordinate center to the z-axis coordinate of the rotation center)

[0068] #130=#2 (the setting change angle of the table rotation of the horizontal machining center)

[0069] #111=#106*COS[#130]-#108*SIN[#130] (the distance from the x-axis coordinate of the end point to the x-axis coordinate of the rotation center)

[0070] #112 = 0 (the distance from the y-axis coordinate of the end point to the y-axis coordinate of the rotation center)

[0071] #113=#106*SIN[#130]+#108*COS[#130](the distance from the z-axis coordinate of the end point to the z-axis coordinate of the rotation center)

[0072] #114=#111-#106 (x-axis coordinate of the restoration end point)

[0073] #115=0 (restore the y-axis coordinate of the end point)

[0074] #116=-#113+#108 (z-axis coordinate of the restoration end point)

[0075] Please refer to Figure 6 In another embodiment, a method for processing a horizontal machining workbench is provided, comprising the following steps.

[0076] Step S10: Obtain the rotation center of the worktable of the horizontal machining center.

[0077] Step S20: Obtain the workpiece coordinate center of the initial processing surface.

[0078] In one embodiment, any one machining surface of the workpiece to be machined that needs to be machined is set as the initial machining surface, and the workpiece coordinate center of the initial machining surface is determined.

[0079] It should be noted that the workpiece coordinate center can be defined according to processing needs, which is usually related to the geometric shape, design requirements and processing tasks of the workpiece itself. It can be located at the center of the initial processing surface, the vertex of the workpiece or other specific positions.

[0080] Step S30: Obtain all tool lengths required for processing the workpiece.

[0081] In one embodiment, when processing a workpiece to be processed, the tool length needs to be considered, wherein the tool length is the distance from the tool tip to the spindle of the horizontal machining center.

[0082] Step S40: processing the initial processing surface of the workpiece to be processed.

[0083] In one embodiment, after the rotation center of the workpiece to be processed and the workpiece coordinate center of the initial processing surface are determined, the worktable of the horizontal machining center is rotated according to the preset processing trajectory by the set transformation angle with the workpiece coordinate center as the starting point to process the initial processing surface. After the initial processing surface is processed, the tool stops at the end point where the workpiece to be processed is processed according to the preset processing trajectory. Since the worktable of the horizontal machining center is rotated according to the set transformation angle when processing the initial processing surface, when the tool stops at the end point, the initial processing surface is updated to the processing surface corresponding to the workpiece to be processed when it is rotated by the set transformation angle.

[0084] In one embodiment, when the updated initial processing surface is processed, it is necessary to re-determine the starting point of the updated initial processing surface, so the end point is used as the starting point of the updated initial processing surface.

[0085] In one embodiment, when determining the coordinates of the end point, the coordinates of the end point are determined by using trigonometric function transformation according to the coordinates of the rotation center, the coordinates of the workpiece coordinate center and the set transformation angle, which can be specifically calculated by the following formula:

[0086] x2=x0+(x0-x1)×cosB-(z0-z1)×sinB

[0087] z2=z0+(x0-x1)×sinB+(z0-z1)×cosB

[0088] Among them, (x2, z2) represents the coordinates of the end point, (x1, z1) represents the coordinates of the workpiece coordinate center, (x0, z0) represents the coordinates of the rotation center, and B represents the set transformation angle. Since the worktable of the horizontal machining center rotates around the y-axis, the coordinates of the y-axis of the worktable of the horizontal machining center will not change during the rotation process, so when calculating the coordinates of the end point, the y-axis is not involved in the calculation.

[0089] It should be noted that since the processing method of the horizontal machining workbench has been clearly explained in the embodiment of the horizontal machining center, it will not be repeated here.
