Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of fixtures, and in particular relates to an intelligent fixture and a clamping method for an intelligent manufacturing production line. Background Art

[0002] As an important device to ensure the correct positioning and processing stability of parts, the performance of the fixture seriously affects the processing quality of the parts. Precision machining technology places higher demands on the performance of the fixture. Traditional fixture clamping relies heavily on the skills and experience of the operator, and the operator's subjective consciousness is relatively obvious, which greatly limits the processing accuracy of the parts, resulting in bottlenecks in the improvement of precision consistency, processing efficiency and yield rate under batch manufacturing. With the continuous development of new sensing technologies, signal recognition and processing algorithms, a closed-loop control system is formed by integrating sensors and setting actuators inside the fixture, which makes it possible for smart fixtures to execute autonomously or interact with machine tools. Smart fixtures are widely used in the fields of automobiles, ships, aerospace, machining, etc., such as the processing of composite materials in the aerospace field, the processing of high-performance bearings, and the processing of automobile engines. Part clamping force detection and machining vibration status detection are two crucial aspects of the intelligent process. Reasonable clamping force can prevent parts from moving, falling off, or deforming during machining, ensuring machining accuracy. Vibration during machining can cause problems such as cutting force fluctuations and increased cutting temperature, which in turn affect machining quality. Long-term vibration can also increase the wear of fixtures, cutting tools, and machine tool components, reducing equipment life. Therefore, it is very important to accurately monitor the clamping force and machining vibration status of parts.

[0003] Domestic research on clamping force mainly focuses on aspects such as clamping force error compensation, fixture component layout, adaptive clamping force, and factors affecting clamping force. For example, the literature "Zhao Guoqiang, Xue Jinxue, Wang Yipeng, et al. Research on adaptive control system of clamping force of electromagnetic centerless clamp [J]. China Testing, 2022, 48(09): 145-151." and "Zhang Ning. Deformation-compliant clamping method for thin shell parts [D]. Dalian: Dalian University of Technology, 2019." respectively introduces the clamping force adaptive control technology and the clamping component position layout optimization method. These methods cannot accurately measure the clamping force under processing conditions. A small number of studies based on sensor technology have studied the problem of accurate measurement of clamping force, such as the literature "Jia Meng. Design of automatic indexing chuck suitable for rapid processing of pipe joints [D]. Nanjing: Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2021." A chuck wireless force measurement device based on S-type pressure sensor was designed, but the sensor was not integrated into the fixture, and the signal could not be fed back to the machine tool for feedback adjustment of the clamping force. The paper “HAOYU Z, BO T, WENCHAO L, et al. Plc-Based Aerospace Thin-Wall Part Processing Fixture[J]. IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020, 782:022055 (7 pp.)-022055 (7 pp.).” designed a structure that can adjust the clamping force at any time by placing a pressure sensor at the end of the pressure plate. However, this structure can only be used under static conditions.

[0004] During machining, vibration often occurs due to the influence of multiple factors, including the machine tool, cutting tool, workpiece, and cutting forces. Current research has not considered the vibration of the fixture and part when the fixture is holding the part, nor has it considered the multi-scale characteristics of tool and fixture wear across different signal dimensions. This makes it impossible to effectively exploit multi-sensor fusion features, resulting in incomplete and inadequate sensor data collection. Summary of the Invention

[0013] A further improvement of the present invention is:

[0016] Preferably, the bonding expansion sleeve is an annular structure, the inner ring is a wedge-shaped surface, and the outer ring is a cylindrical tensioning surface; the calibration piece is a thick-walled cylindrical structure, the inner ring is a tensioning contact surface, and the outer ring is a clamping surface;

[0017] The wedge surface contacts the wedge structure, and the cylindrical expansion surface contacts the expansion contact surface;

[0018] When the fixture clamps the workpiece, the workpiece is sleeved outside the clamping surface.

[0028] Preferably, the connecting flange is provided with connecting holes and connecting pieces for connecting to the supporting structure, and the connecting flange is provided with connecting holes and connecting pieces for connecting to the machine tool.

[0029] A method for clamping an intelligent fixture for an intelligent manufacturing production line includes the following steps:

[0030] S1, install the entire fixture on the machine tool through the connecting flange;

[0031] S2, placing the processed part on the calibration part;

[0032] S3: Hydraulic oil is pressed into the body through the second oil delivery hole and the first oil delivery hole. The hydraulic oil presses the piston downward, and the piston drives the pull rod downward. The pull rod applies pressure to the bonding expansion sleeve through the annular end surface. The bonding expansion sleeve expands due to the action of the wedge structure. Under the action of the bonding expansion sleeve, the calibration piece is deformed radially to clamp the workpiece.

[0033] S4, when the workpiece is being clamped, the tension on the pull rod increases, and the force-sensitive chip detects the change in the tension of the pull rod and transmits the tension information to the CNC system through the sensor signal conversion circuit and the data processing circuit. When the clamping force is insufficient, the CNC system increases the oil pressure input to the second oil delivery hole by controlling the hydraulic system of the machine tool. When the clamping force is too large, the oil pressure input to the second oil delivery hole is reduced until the oil pressure reaches the desired value;

[0034] During the machining process, the three-axis vibration sensor detects the vibration signal, centrifugal acceleration, and dynamic balance status of the intelligent fixture in real time. The vibration signal, centrifugal acceleration, and dynamic balance status information are transmitted to the CNC system through the data processing circuit. The CNC system adjusts the machining parameters based on the information to ensure that the speed of the machined part reaches the predetermined value.

[0035] During the machining process, the three-axis vibration sensor also detects abnormal peak signals and abnormal fluctuation signals. If abnormal peak signals or abnormal fluctuation signals occur, an alarm will be issued and the signal will be transmitted to the CNC system, causing the CNC system to shut down.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0037] The present invention discloses an intelligent fixture for intelligent manufacturing production lines to solve the problem of accurately and in real time monitoring the machining state and the clamping force on parts during precision machining. In response to the need for accurate monitoring of machining vibration and the clamping force on parts during machining, the fixture of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0038] (A) The wedge-shaped surface fit and the cylindrical clamping method of the calibration component provide an efficient, precise, and reliable clamping solution for the machining process. This clamping structure not only achieves precise control of the clamping force by converting the functional relationship between axial tension and radial clamping force, but also ensures uniform distribution of the clamping force, significantly improving the deformation of the machined part during the clamping process. The evenly distributed clamping force also helps reduce wear and stress concentration on the fixture itself, extending the fixture's service life.

[0039] (B) By integrating a force-sensitive chip and a triaxial vibration sensor into the fixture, simultaneous measurement of clamping force and vibration is achieved, improving the fixture's overall compactness and ease of installation. ① The collected sensor signals directly reflect the clamping force, vibration, and centrifugal acceleration of the fixture's rotation during machining. The real-time and accurate measurement of the clamping force enables the CNC system to automatically adjust the clamping force to the appropriate range. Centrifugal acceleration and vibration signals can accurately sense part rotation speed and abnormal vibration, monitoring the operational stability of the intelligent fixture and the part being machined. ② By monitoring the force and vibration of the tie rod in real time, the system can promptly identify potential safety hazards and prevent damaging accidents such as tool collisions and breakage, acting similarly to an automobile airbag. ③ The vibration and centrifugal acceleration signals collected by the triaxial vibration sensor can be used to determine the dynamic balance of the part during machining. Dynamic imbalance is promptly fed back to the CNC system, allowing adjustments to machining parameters to ensure part operational stability and machining accuracy. ④ By combining with intelligent algorithms, it can be used for predictive maintenance and fixture fault diagnosis. For example, it can be used as an evaluation indicator for fixture life prediction to avoid premature fixture scrapping or fixture fatigue failure causing processing accidents. It can also increase the service life of the fixture, reduce processing costs during the processing, and reduce the time required to replace the fixture.

[0040] (C) Using QR code recognition technology on processed parts can quickly and accurately record and track information throughout the entire machining process, including part number, dimensional parameters, technical requirements, machining status, completed process steps, ongoing processes, and pending processes. The CNC system can then automatically retrieve the NC code for the part being machined, helping to automate and intelligentize the machining process and improve production efficiency. By tracking the machining process, production plans can be adjusted promptly, production status can be monitored in real time, problems can be identified and resolved promptly, and machining quality can be improved.

[0041] (D) Through wireless transmission technology between circuits, the intelligent fixture can achieve seamless connection with the machine tool control system, making the entire machining process more automated and intelligent. Wireless transmission, unlike wired transmission, eliminates the need for wired wiring and reduces safety hazards caused by improper or damaged wiring. It also makes the design, installation, and maintenance of the fixture more flexible, allowing it to rotate as a whole with the machine tool spindle. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0099] The working process of the present invention is as follows:

[0100] First, the workpiece should be pre-processed with a hole structure that can fit with the clamping surface 96 of the calibration component 1.

[0101] During actual operation, the intelligent fixture is first mounted on the machine tool using the first fixing screw 19. The automated robotic arm then places the part being processed onto the clamping surface 96 of the calibration component 1. At this point, the part is not stably clamped. The camera 48 in the wireless transmission assembly then scans and identifies a QR code printed or affixed to the surface of the part being processed. The collected data is then wirelessly transmitted to the CNC system via the data processing circuit 34. By accessing the data on the central server, all data related to the part's lifecycle can be obtained. Ultimately, the CNC panel displays information including, but not limited to, the part's number, machining drawings, dimensional parameters, process flow, number of parts, desired clamping force, the part's machining process, and the CNC codes already performed and those to be performed. Scanning the QR code using the camera 48 also records the machining process and related information performed on the machine tool for the scanned part and uploads it to the central server. This ensures a digital record of the entire part machining lifecycle, ensuring traceability at every stage of the machining process.

[0102] When the CNC machine tool begins operation, the CNC system controls the machine's hydraulic system to pressurize hydraulic oil into the body 5 through the second oil delivery hole 84 of the connecting flange 7 and the first oil delivery hole 68 within the body 5. The hydraulic oil entering the body 5 contacts the upper surface 79 of the piston 6, exerting axial pressure on the upper surface 79. Through the threaded connection between the fourth threaded hole 75 of the piston 6 and the thread 94 of the tie rod 3, the tie rod 3 is subjected to axial tension. The adhesive expansion sleeve 2, located below the annular end surface 91 of the tie rod 3, is subjected to axial pressure. Due to the presence of the wedge surface 88, the wedge structure 88 of the body 5 exerts tangential friction and normal support forces on the adhesive expansion sleeve 2. This forces the adhesive expansion sleeve 2 to expand radially outward. Based on the principle of equilibrium, the calibration piece 1, which is positioned around the adhesive expansion sleeve 2, generates a radial tension between the adhesive expansion sleeve 2 and the calibration piece 1, maintaining equilibrium.

[0103] According to the principle of interactive force, the tensioning contact surface 95 of the calibration part 1 will be subjected to the tensioning force reaction force radially away from the center of the circle. Under the action of this force, the calibration part 1 as a whole will produce a small deformation radially away from the center of the circle, and finally achieve the clamping of the processed part through the small deformation of the clamping surface 96.

[0104] During the continuous clamping process of the processed parts, the tension on the pull rod 3 continues to increase, and the force-sensitive chip 27 encapsulated on the stress plane 93 continuously detects the tension changes of the pull rod 3. The data processing circuit 34 converts the collected tension information into an electrical signal according to the corresponding functional relationship into a clamping force, and transmits it to the machine tool CNC system. The machine tool CNC system processes the relationship between the measured clamping force and the preset clamping force, and through feedback control, increases the oil pressure when the measured clamping force is insufficient, and reduces the oil pressure when the measured clamping force is too large, so that the measured clamping force finally reaches the expected value.

[0105] Throughout the machining process, the triaxial vibration sensor 28, encapsulated on the stress plane 93, operates continuously, detecting the vibration signal, centrifugal acceleration, and dynamic balance status of the intelligent fixture in real time. The data processing circuit 34 processes the collected vibration and centrifugal acceleration signals, determines whether the current machining parameters are appropriate based on the vibration signals, and calculates the current fixture speed based on the centrifugal acceleration. This information is wirelessly transmitted to the CNC system, which uses negative feedback to adjust the current machining parameters so that the speed of the machined part reaches the predetermined value. Furthermore, to prevent possible tool collisions, tool wear, and other faults during machining, the system detects in real time whether there are abnormal spikes or fluctuations. If any abnormal signal is detected, an alarm is issued, and the abnormal signal is transmitted to the CNC system, along with a shutdown command, to ensure safe and stable machining operations.
