Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a complex structure part machining data management system and an application method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The efficient and precise machining of complex structural parts is not only the core of the country's major strategic needs, but also the frontier field of international engineering science. Its technical complexity, long R&D cycle and huge capital demand make the precision manufacturing of complex parts a top challenge in modern industry, known as the "crown jewel of modern industry". Compared with mechanical manufacturing powers such as Europe and the United States, my country still has a certain gap in the cutting / grinding technology level of difficult-to-process materials. It is mainly reflected in the lack of systematic combing, induction and evaluation of relevant data knowledge, resulting in the immature development and application of enabling tools such as data knowledge reuse reasoning and rapid programming. This directly affects the machining accuracy and consistency of complex structural parts, and then affects the overall performance and reliability of the parts.

[0003] At the same time, the existing domestic processing databases, knowledge bases and process software are mostly independent, without model libraries and algorithm libraries matching the process software, and have poor practicality. In addition, there is a lack of effective process data and knowledge mining and reasoning technology, making it difficult to achieve automatic updating of knowledge, and a lack of self-learning ability for rule knowledge. Once the processing environment changes, the original process data and knowledge cannot guide the decision-making of new process problems well.

[0004] In summary, although certain achievements have been made in the research of databases and process software at home and abroad, further exploration and innovation are still needed to meet the data knowledge management needs of cutting / grinding technology for complex structural parts and difficult-to-process materials. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a complex structure parts machining data management system and an application method thereof in view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art.

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0007] The present invention is based on a complex structure parts machining data management system, and supports the construction of a complex structure parts machining basic data knowledge system platform through the construction of a mechanical machining hierarchical process data knowledge modeling method and system. In the specific implementation process, three levels of mutually verified databases are constructed, including: a key material cutting / grinding basic processing database, a typical feature process basic database for process preparation, and a cutting / grinding process database for on-site processing. On this basis, the typical feature process basic database for process preparation and the cutting / grinding process database for on-site processing are optimized and selected and used, and application enabling tools such as data mining / generation are developed. After that, by constructing a mechanical machining basic data knowledge system platform, characteristic process parameters, tool types, etc. are recommended as needed, programming strategy optimization is supported, and cutting / grinding fast programming is realized. At the same time, combined with the key material cutting / grinding basic processing database and cutting / grinding physical simulation, the iterative optimization of tool types and process parameters is completed, and finally a program for on-site processing is generated.

[0008] The basic database of cutting / grinding includes data on force, temperature, chip morphology, tool wear, and key indicators of surface integrity during the material cutting / grinding process, such as three-dimensional morphology of the machined surface, microstructure, microhardness, residual stress, etc. The data entry standard is that for the test data obtained through cutting / grinding simulation processing, the cutting / grinding basic database is entered in the format of tool / grinding parameters-workpiece material-process parameters-cutting data. Each entry data should meet the standard of complete information including workpiece material, process parameters, tool / grinding parameters, and cutting data; specific material data include composition, conventional mechanical properties, constitutive parameters, etc., tool data include geometric angles, base materials, coating materials, etc., and processing parameters include cutting / grinding speed, thickness, cooling and lubrication, etc.

[0009] The basic database of cutting / grinding processes includes 15 typical structures and their process features, such as center holes, transition fillets, stiffeners, thin-walled rings, bosses, grooves, holes, mounting edges, and webs. Parametric modeling is performed using typical geometric features, which also include information such as processing technology, to form a geometric feature model that meets the requirements of data exchange. Artificial neural network technology is used to construct a cross-correlation between processing tool parameters, performance, part structural features, and material properties, forming an intelligent correlation network between processing requirements and processing tool data sets, and realizing intelligent sorting and recommendation of part geometric feature processing methods and tools.

[0010] The process database collects data such as cutting force / heat, tool wear, processing efficiency, processing accuracy, surface quality, etc. during on-site processing, and combines part materials (brand, heat treatment status), blank form, typical structural characteristics, process route, processing stage, datum selection, allowance allocation, and process data to establish the collection strategy and specifications for on-site processing data of three types of typical parts; by clustering the working condition data, the distribution characteristics and laws of process data of typical parts under different process conditions are obtained; deep learning algorithms are developed, and process data knowledge prediction models are developed. The effective processing data of the first type of parts are: cutting force / heat, tool wear, processing efficiency, processing accuracy, surface quality, processing deformation, chatter, and surface integrity. The processing quality and efficiency data of the second type of parts are: cutting force / heat, tool wear, processing efficiency, processing accuracy, surface quality, processing deformation, chatter. The processing quality and efficiency data of the third type of parts are: cutting force / heat, tool wear, processing efficiency, processing accuracy, surface quality, and surface integrity; the process data-processing quality and efficiency evaluation specifications are formed, and the process strategy and cutting parameter range that match the evaluation requirements are established.

[0011] The present invention is based on an application method of a complex structure parts machining data management system, comprising:

[0012] On the basis of the three established databases, data of each process in parts manufacturing, process knowledge, tooling and equipment data are collected, and iterative optimization and integrated application of hierarchical databases and enabling tools are carried out to open up data transmission between various software such as databases, rapid programming, and physical simulation.

[0013] The product application chain is divided into objects, and the connotation of process chain and technology chain is used as the specific content. CNC programming templates for typical geometric structure features are formulated. Based on the identification of geometric features and parameter information, tool / grinding tool types, processing parameters and programming strategies are recommended, and rapid CNC machining programming and processing plan design of typical structural features are carried out.

[0014] Construct physical simulation environment for typical parts, typical structure processing models, and tool models; carry out physical simulation of CNC programs, processing plans, and processing squares based on typical material cutting performance data; and formulate CNC program simulation evaluation and optimization plans.

[0015] The beneficial effects and advantages of the present invention are:

[0016] The present invention breaks through the hierarchical data knowledge modeling technology, constructs a hierarchical process knowledge system, and realizes effective organization and management of knowledge; through the analysis of key material cutting / grinding tests, the mapping relationship between process parameters and surface quality is established to form cutting / grinding test specifications; then through typical parts processing feature process modeling and process performance evaluation and other technologies, the process data processing and storage specifications of the features are established; then the process data of typical parts are collected to form an evaluation method for field data; finally, through the storage / mining / evolution and reasoning technology of processing process data, the two-way mapping between data is realized, and a three-layer database of cutting / grinding foundation, cutting / grinding process, and process is established; through the cutting / grinding basic database and CNC programming template, the tool / grinding tool type, processing parameters and programming strategy corresponding to the feature are recommended to realize the rapid programming of typical structures and physical simulation verification.

It realizes the optimization of the whole process of complex parts manufacturing, shortens the process design cycle, reduces the process design cost, and thus achieves the goal of comprehensively improving the process design capability.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] The present invention is based on a complex structure parts machining data management system and its application method. The main research ideas are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the software framework mainly includes 6 modules: process knowledge modeling, cutting / grinding basic database, process basic database, process database, rapid programming and physical simulation.

[0025] Focusing on the machining of typical parts of key materials of complex structural parts, research on ontology-based machining process data knowledge modeling, hierarchical machining process data classification technology, etc., to form a method for knowledge modeling of hierarchical machining process data; Figure 2 It expresses a separate process ontology partial knowledge model. Each module ontology library contains the corresponding class hierarchy and instances, and the attribute library is constructed separately. Instances refer to specific objects or events, while attributes are used to characterize the characteristics or traits of these objects or events. By clarifying and constraining the associations between each module ontology library or instance, the consistency and integrity of knowledge can be maintained. On this basis, we can build a comprehensive process ontology knowledge architecture, which uses a hierarchical structure to organize and manage process-related knowledge, making the acquisition, expression and application of knowledge easier and more efficient.

[0026] Implementing precise process data classification strategies, this project introduces a hierarchical machining data classification technology to meet the process data classification needs of typical parts. Its core framework is as follows: Figure 3 Display. First, an intelligent neural network classification system is constructed based on the classification coding rules. This system takes the core features of the parts as the input starting point. These features are processed through a deep processing layer - the hidden layer, which focuses on parsing key feature parameters such as the degree of surface curvature, aperture size, groove depth, and hole depth. Then, the system output layer will classify the process data into specific process categories such as cutting or grinding based on the results of the previous processing. Through the interactive interface between people and the system, users can train and optimize the classification system so that it can automatically and efficiently classify the process data of parts.

[0027] In terms of data storage, data storage is divided into three levels: cutting / grinding basic data layer, process basic data layer, and process data layer. Figure 4 shown.

[0028] The basic data layer for machining mainly stores basic data such as tool coating, cutting edge geometry, constitutive equation, cutting force, temperature, chip load, stress, etc. in cutting, as well as basic data such as the organizational structure, abrasive type, binder type, porosity, grinding force, temperature, stress-strain, etc. of abrasive tools (mainly bonded abrasive grinding wheels) in grinding. The basic process data layer adds process information such as tool parameters, process methods, tool-workpiece contact relationship, etc. on the basis of the basic data layer for machining. The process data layer stores process system information such as tool-spindle subsystem information, workpiece-fixture subsystem information, processing environment information, CNC system information, system equipment response information, etc., as shown in the following figure. Figure 5 shown.

[0029] The testing and acquisition of basic machining data is the basis for accumulating the basic cutting / grinding database. This layer of database mainly obtains basic cutting / grinding data through the most basic orthogonal cutting / grinding: materials, micro-geometric information, tool materials, processing forms, ambient temperature, cooling lubrication, processing parameters, and force, temperature, chips, and tool damage information collected by experimental equipment. The cutting / grinding database management supports users to query, add, modify and delete basic cutting / grinding data, and provides one-click data import and export functions (supporting data formats such as excel or csv).

[0030] The second layer is the process base database, which includes the cutting / grinding process data for machining certain part features. The main stored data include: tool type, tool type, machining method, machining process, cooling and lubrication, machining parameters, part features, and information such as force, temperature, chips, and tool damage collected by experimental equipment. The process base database management supports users to query, add, modify and delete basic process base data, and provides one-click data import and export functions (supporting data formats such as excel or csv).

[0031] The third layer is the process database, which includes the process information of machining the entire part structure. The main stored data include: machine tool information, machine tool control system information, clamping method, machining method, machining process, cooling and lubrication, cutting / grinding parameters, part features, and force, temperature, tool wear and surface integrity information collected by experimental equipment. The process database management supports users to query, add, modify and delete basic process data, and provides one-click data import and export functions (supports data formats such as excel or csv).

[0032] Through the above-mentioned hierarchical architecture design, strong data and knowledge support is provided for the establishment of the machining process model, which can not only realize the effective management and utilization of historical process data, but also provide strong support for process optimization.

[0033] Integrated applications around fast programming modules such as Figure 6 As shown in the figure, this module supports users to search for process parameter data in the database. Users can retrieve complete relevant resource data by inputting material data, feature data, and equipment data, and then retrieve matching process parameter information from the process basic database and process database; ensuring the efficiency of retrieval and recording log-related information of the retrieval process. Among the input parameters, the material selection parameter supports search, and after selection, the material details and pictures are displayed for users to choose; the equipment selection displays the equipment picture, name and main parameters, and supports multiple equipment selection; the real-time feedback mechanism indicates whether the filled data is normal or incorrect, and the status button indicates.

[0034] The cutting force model prediction function of the model is supported. The processing data management system can calculate the preliminary optimal cutting parameters (such as tool type, cutting speed, feed rate, etc.) based on the material information and optimization algorithm input by the user. At the same time, the user can manually adjust some parameters according to their own experience and needs, and view and adjust them through the corresponding controls on the user interface. Finally, the processing route and optimal cutting parameters that meet the characteristics of the part are generated, and a report containing the calculation process and results is generated. All adjustment history and preference settings are recorded by the system for subsequent analysis and optimization.

[0035] In the integrated application around the physical simulation module, the material data retrieval function is supported, the material type and processing method information input by the user is received, and the necessary preprocessing and verification are performed. After that, data extraction is performed to extract the material data that matches the input information from the material basic database, ensure that the extracted data is accurate and complete, and convert the extracted material data into the format required for physical simulation. By preprocessing the material information and processing method input by the user, selecting the required simulation algorithm and model, and outputting visual reports and simulation reports, the user can customize the report name and file location. All historical simulation records and single simulation detailed data are recorded by the system for subsequent reference and analysis.

[0036] The present invention integrates and develops a comprehensive system of various types of knowledge in the field of mechanical processing. On the basis of mechanical processing process knowledge modeling, a three-layer database system of cutting / grinding basic data layer, process basic data layer and process data layer is constructed, and two-way mapping and data conversion between data layers are realized, so that users can easily access the required data. The present invention further enables decision-making, process optimization and technological innovation in the field of mechanical processing. It not only covers the basic knowledge system of mechanical processing, such as processing theory, process parameters, material properties, etc., but also deeply integrates cutting-edge knowledge resources such as advanced manufacturing concepts, innovative process means and rich case databases. Relying on this comprehensive knowledge platform, users can easily query, retrieve, deeply analyze and flexibly apply knowledge, thereby significantly improving the operating efficiency and finished product quality of mechanical processing. The present invention has far-reaching strategic value for supporting the high-performance manufacturing needs of complex structural parts, building a common data knowledge platform system serving the entire industry, and promoting the manufacturing technology of complex structural parts to a higher level, and has a strong driving effect on the overall progress of the industry.
