[0026] like Figure 1As shown, the manufacturing system of the wireless intelligent tool holder system is related to the embodiment, which comprises a milling machine 10, a wireless intelligent tool holder 20 arranged on the milling machine 10, a tool 30 at the end of the wireless intelligent tool holder 20, and a workpiece 40 arranged opposite the tool 30. The workpiece 40 is arranged on the workbench of the milling machine 10 through a vice 50. The wireless intelligent tool holder 20 is connected to an upper computer 60 through a wireless mode and transmits a three-dimensional vibration signal of the tool holder position during cutting. The upper computer 60 processes and analyzes the three-dimensional vibration signal through an artificial intelligence algorithm, realizes real-time monitoring of the tool wear value, predicts the remaining life of the tool, and optimizes the cutting parameters, so as to provide more reasonable cutting parameters for the cutting process of the workpiece 40 and improve the service life of the tool 30.

[0027] As shown in the figure, the wireless intelligent tool holder 20 comprises a tool holder base body turning part 21 and a composite material reinforcing layer 22 arranged outside the turning part 21, which are connected in sequence. The composite material reinforcing layer 22 is provided with an annular groove 23, a signal acquisition module groove 24 and a charging module groove 25. Figure 2

[0028] The tool holder base body 21 is taken as an example of a mainstream commercial HSK-63A tool holder. In order to avoid the electromagnetic shielding problem caused by deploying the acquisition module on the metal material and avoid the overall size of the intelligent tool holder being too large, the tool holder base body 21 is turned and processed to form the turning part 22 at the end.

[0029] The built-in algorithms in the life prediction module 53 and the wear monitoring module 54 are realized based on deep learning. After the three-dimensional original data is input into the algorithm, the KAN is used to realize the life prediction and wear monitoring of the tool, and the feature extraction of the operator is not required throughout the process, which belongs to an end-to-end monitoring algorithm. Figure 4 The KAN-Wear structure is built. The input is the time domain features (maximum value, mean value and variance) extracted from the cutting vibration data. The number of nodes in the KAN is set to 3, 7 and 1 respectively.

[0030] The PHM2010 public cutting data set (https: / / phmsociety.org / phm_competition / 2010-phm-society-conference-data-challenge / ) is used to verify the KAN-Wear tool state monitoring algorithm. The test working condition of the PHM2010 public milling data set is shown in the figure. Figure 5 ​The experimental machine tool is Roder Tech RFM769 high-speed CNC machine tool 61. The workpiece 65 is clamped on the workbench of the high-speed CNC machine tool 61. The tool used is a 3-tooth ball-end mill 62. The cutting method adopts dry milling and side milling. The length of each pass is 108 mm. During the cutting process, the cutting forces in three directions are measured using a Kistler three-component platform dynamometer 66. In addition, a Kistler piezoelectric accelerometer 63 is deployed to measure the three-axis vibration of the workpiece. A Kistler acoustic emission sensor 64 is used to measure the high-frequency stress waves generated during the cutting process. The data collected by the three sensors are collected by an NI data acquisition card 68 to form a 7-channel signal, which are x-direction cutting force, y-direction cutting force, z-direction cutting force, x-direction vibration, y-direction vibration, z-direction vibration and acoustic emission signal respectively. After each pass, the average wear band width VB of the rear face of each blade is measured using a LEICZ12 microscope 67 as the wear value of the blade. The average wear value of the three blades is taken as the wear value of the entire tool. The tool life cycle wear curves of the three groups of experiments are as shown in FIG. 2. Figure 6

[0031] Each pass will generate a large amount of data, and directly using the data of the whole pass as sample input will cause the calculation amount of the model to be too large, and even cause overfitting of the model. In this embodiment, the data of each pass is divided into 100 sub-sequences, and the maximum value, mean value and variance of each sub-sequence are extracted to form a shorter time sequence (100x3) as the input of the KAN-Wear tool monitoring model. In the tool wear value monitoring task, the VB value is directly taken as the label of each input feature; in the tool residual life prediction task, the VB=150μm is taken as the threshold, and the use time when the wear of the rear face of the three milling cutters reaches 150μm is calculated as the life of the tool, and the residual life of each pass is calculated as the label of each input feature, which is R L = T-T i , where R L is the residual life, T is the tool life, and T i is the cumulative use time of the tool in the ith pass.

[0033]

[0034] ​The embodiment specifically adopts the KAN-Wear model and uses GPU for training under the Windows 10 platform. The graphics card model is RTX 3090, and the CPU model is AMD EPYC 7624. The KAN-Wear network is built by the Pytorch 1.11.0 framework. The Python version is 3.8, and the Cuda version is 11.3. Adam is used as the optimizer during training to improve the generalization of the model and prevent overfitting during model training by setting the weight decay. The MAE is used to calculate the loss function, and the hyperparameter settings of the model during training are shown in Table 2. The tool wear monitoring model and the tool residual life prediction model are trained on the data sets T1, T2 and T3 respectively, and the performance of the model on the test set is shown in Table 3.
