Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of surface strengthening technology for workpieces, and in particular to an intelligent composite strengthening treatment method for the surface of cutting teeth. Background Technology
[0002] Cutting picks are mainly used in mining and tunneling machinery, and are divided into coal mining machine cutting picks and tunneling machine cutting picks. During use, cutting picks are subjected to compression and friction with the rock mass, leading to wear on the pick head. The high temperatures generated during operation and the corrosiveness of some rock masses also accelerate the wear of the pick head. Design and heat treatment issues can cause uneven stress distribution or stress exceeding allowable stress. Furthermore, encountering high-hardness rock during operation can subject the pick to significant impact loads, which, under cyclic impact loads, can easily lead to fatigue fracture at the connection area between the pick head and the shank. Therefore, the reliability and service life of cutting picks are often improved by selecting higher-quality materials, adjusting heat treatment processes, and strengthening the surface of the pick.
[0003] Currently, commonly used surface strengthening methods for cutting tools include wire welding, thermal spraying, plasma cladding, and laser cladding. However, these surface strengthening methods alone cannot achieve the desired fatigue strength and service life of the cutting tools. Therefore, shot blasting is sometimes used during the cutting tool production process for secondary cleaning and strengthening of the tooth surface. The main function of shot blasting is to remove the surface oxide layer and impurities, improving the surface hardness, wear resistance, and fatigue strength of the cutting tools. However, when the cutting tool shape is complex, shot blasting can create blind spots, where fatigue strength and hardness are lower, increasing the risk of fatigue fracture. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an intelligent composite strengthening treatment method for the surface of a cutting tooth. During the strengthening of the surface of the cutting tooth head, the method can simultaneously complete the secondary strengthening of the weak parts of the cutting tooth, effectively improving the fatigue strength and hardness of the weak parts of the cutting tooth, thereby improving the overall service life of the cutting tooth, and also achieving high-quality and high-efficiency treatment of the cutting tooth.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: an intelligent composite strengthening treatment method for the surface of a cutting tooth, which strengthens the cutting tooth head using existing surface strengthening methods, and simultaneously strengthens the weak parts of the cutting tooth by laser local quenching, specifically including the following steps:
[0006] (1) Establish an initial surface strengthening database for each type of cutting tooth after applying different surface strengthening methods. The initial surface strengthening database includes different processing parameters for each surface strengthening method and the corresponding strengthening results.
[0007] (2) Establish an initial laser strengthening database for each type of cutting tooth after laser local quenching. The initial laser strengthening database includes different processing parameters used during laser local quenching and the corresponding strengthening results.
[0008] (3) For tooth surface strengthening treatment, a surface strengthening intelligent database is established using the PSO-BP-ANN neural network model, and the initial optimal weights and thresholds of the BP-ANN neural network in the PSO-BP-ANN neural network model are determined using the initial surface strengthening database; For laser local quenching treatment, a laser strengthening intelligent database is established using the GA-BP-ANN neural network model, and the initial optimal weights and thresholds of the BP-ANN neural network in the GA-BP-ANN neural network model are determined using the initial laser strengthening database.
[0009] (4) During processing, the processing system automatically identifies the type of cutting tooth to be strengthened, and retrieves the processing parameters and results of tooth surface strengthening treatment that match the type of cutting tooth through the surface strengthening intelligent database, and retrieves the processing parameters and results of laser local quenching treatment that match the type of cutting tooth through the laser strengthening intelligent database. Then, the processing system uses the two retrieved processing parameters as the initial processing parameters for surface strengthening and the initial processing parameters for quenching, respectively, to perform surface strengthening treatment and laser local quenching treatment on the cutting tooth to be strengthened at the same time.
[0010] (5) The PSO-BP-ANN neural network model and the GA-BP-ANN neural network model predict the surface strengthening result and the quenching strengthening result according to the corresponding initial surface strengthening processing parameters and initial quenching processing parameters, respectively. The predicted surface strengthening result and the quenching strengthening result are called the predicted result, the actual surface strengthening result and the quenching strengthening result after actual processing are called the actual result, and the retrieved tooth surface strengthening result and the quenching strengthening result are called the theoretical result. The three results are compared one by one. If the three are consistent, the corresponding strengthening process is continued according to the initial surface strengthening processing parameters and the initial quenching processing parameters until the cutting tooth processing is completed. If at least one of the three is inconsistent, step (6) is performed.
[0011] (6) Based on the theoretical results, the initial processing parameters for surface strengthening and quenching are corrected by the PSO-BP-ANN neural network model and the GA-BP-ANN neural network model respectively until the predicted results, actual results and theoretical results are consistent. The corrected surface strengthening and quenching processing parameters are used as the optimal processing parameters to strengthen the cutting teeth until the cutting teeth are processed. At the same time, the two optimal processing parameters are imported into the corresponding surface strengthening intelligent database and laser strengthening intelligent database for corresponding data correction.
[0012] Furthermore, after the cutting teeth are processed, 5-10% of the finished cutting teeth are sampled for testing. The actual surface hardening results and actual laser local quenching hardening results of the cutting teeth samples, as well as the corresponding processing parameters, are recorded. These samples are used as the validation datasets for the PSO-BP-ANN neural network model and the GA-BP-ANN neural network model, and are imported into the surface hardening intelligent database and the laser hardening intelligent database for data correction and optimization learning of the neural networks.
[0013] Furthermore, the types of cutting teeth are divided into coal mining machine cutting teeth, tunneling machine cutting teeth, and rotary drilling machine cutting teeth.
[0014] Furthermore, the surface strengthening method is wire welding, thermal spraying, surface penetration, plasma cladding, or laser cladding.
[0015] Furthermore, the processing parameters in the surface strengthening treatment in step (1) are surface strengthening power, scanning speed and spot size, and the strengthening result parameters are strengthening layer height, dilution rate, temperature distribution and strengthening layer width; the processing parameters in the laser local quenching in step (2) are scanning speed, laser power and spot diameter, and the strengthening result parameters are quenching layer hardness and quenching layer depth.
[0016] Furthermore, the initial surface strengthening database and the initial laser strengthening database are obtained through experimental processing or numerical simulation.
[0017] Further, in step (3), the PSO-BP-ANN neural network model combines an ANN neural network, a feedforward backpropagation learning algorithm (BP), and a particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO). It has one input layer, two hidden layers, and one output layer. The input layer parameters are surface enhancement power, scanning speed, and spot size. The Sigmoid function is used as the activation function from the input layer to the hidden layer and from the hidden layer to the hidden layer. The output layer parameters are enhancement layer height, enhancement layer width, temperature distribution, and dilution rate. The hidden layer has 9 neurons, and the activation function from the hidden layer to the output layer is the purelin linear function. The update algorithm of the PSO-BP-ANN neural network model is expressed as:
[0018] ,
[0019] ,
[0020] in: y’ n The predicted results for surface strengthening include the strengthening layer height, dilution rate, temperature distribution, and strengthening layer width. x1 represents the surface strengthening power, x2 represents the scanning speed, and x3 represents the spot size. vFor particle update speed, j This represents the current iteration number; r 1 and r 2 The random numbers are distributed in (0,1). c 1 and c 2 For learning constants or acceleration factors, pop It is a particle. pbest This represents the optimal individual extreme value of the previous generation. gbest It is the global optimal extreme value. ω This is the weighting factor.
[0021] Furthermore, in step (3), the GA-BP-ANN neural network model combines an ANN neural network, a feedforward backpropagation learning algorithm (BP), and a genetic algorithm (GA). It has an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer. The input layer parameters are scanning speed, laser power, and spot diameter. The output layer parameters are quenching layer depth and quenching layer hardness. The hidden layer has 8 neurons. In the GA-BP-ANN neural network, the input layer parameters are grouped, and different parameter values correspond to different groups. Each group is considered an individual, and each individual corresponds to a set of weights and thresholds. The fitness calculation formula for each individual is as follows:
[0022] ,
[0023] in: R i The hardness of the quenched layer is measured at any measurement point i. r i It is the predicted hardness of the quenched layer at any measurement point i obtained from ANN; H i It is the depth of the quenched layer measured at any measurement point i. h i The predicted quenching layer depth is obtained from any measurement point i using ANN, where n is the total number of measurement points. fit 1 To accommodate the hardness of the quenched layer. fit 2 The fitness of the quenching layer depth is determined by selecting the individual with the smallest fitness to determine the initial weights and thresholds. The smaller the fitness, the closer the predicted value of the data set is to the measured value.
[0024] Further, in step (3), the process of determining the initial optimal weights and thresholds of the BP-ANN neural network in the PSO-BP-ANN neural network model is as follows: Construct a basic BP-ANN neural network structure, import the processing parameters from the initial surface strengthening database into the BP-ANN neural network structure, import the processing parameters from the initial surface strengthening database and their corresponding strengthening results into the PSO optimization algorithm module, and perform normalization processing; then, use the PSO optimization algorithm module embedded in the BP-ANN neural network structure to obtain the initial optimal weights and thresholds of the BP-ANN neural network. The threshold and PSO optimization algorithm module process is as follows: First, 100 particles with different positions and velocities are added to the PSO optimization algorithm. Each particle corresponds to a set of weights and thresholds. The position represents the weights and thresholds of the processing parameters carried by the particle, and the velocity represents the direction and distance of the particle's movement in the next iteration. During the PSO optimization process, the position and velocity of the particles are continuously updated by comparing the individual optimal solution and the global optimal solution. After obtaining the optimal fitness after a set number of iterations, the weights and thresholds carried by the particles are used as the initial optimal weights and thresholds and substituted into the BP-ANN neural network.
[0025] The process of determining the initial optimal weights and thresholds of the BP-ANN neural network in the GA-BP-ANN neural network model is as follows: First, a basic BP-ANN neural network structure is constructed. The processing parameters from the initial laser enhancement database are imported into the BP-ANN neural network structure. The processing parameters and corresponding enhancement results from the initial laser enhancement database are then imported into the GA algorithm module and normalized. Then, the initial optimal weights and thresholds of the BP-ANN neural network are obtained using the GA algorithm module embedded in the BP-ANN neural network structure. The GA algorithm module process is as follows: The input layer parameters are treated as groups, with different parameter values corresponding to different groups. Each group is treated as an individual, and each individual corresponds to a set of weights and thresholds. Thus, 100 individuals are added for neural network training. During the GA optimization process, the predicted results of each individual are compared with the actual results. The smaller the difference between the predicted and actual results, the more suitable the set of weights and thresholds corresponding to that individual is. After a preset number of iterations, the weights and thresholds of the individual with the smallest difference are used as the initial optimal weights and thresholds and substituted into the BP-ANN neural network.
[0026] Furthermore, in step (6), the process of correcting the initial surface strengthening processing parameters using the PSO-BP-ANN neural network model is as follows:
[0027] (1) After the BP-ANN neural network operation, when the actual result of surface strengthening is inconsistent with the predicted result, the initial processing parameters of surface strengthening and the actual result are added as training data to the initial particle swarm of the PSO optimization algorithm module, and the PSO optimization algorithm module processing in step (3) is repeated to calculate the initial optimal weight and threshold again until the predicted result is consistent with the actual result.
[0028] (2) When the predicted surface enhancement result matches the actual result, compare the predicted surface enhancement result with the theoretical result. When the predicted result and the theoretical result are inconsistent, activate the parameter optimization function of the feedforward backpropagation learning algorithm BP in the BP-ANN neural network. Specifically, based on the theoretical result, calculate the error between the predicted result and the theoretical result to obtain the loss function. The loss function is the mean squared error function MSE, i.e.:

These are the input parameters before the weighted summation in the second hidden layer. The input parameters are those before the weighted summation of the input to the output layer;

The optimal surface strengthening processing parameters can be output after the predicted, actual, and theoretical results are consistent through correction and optimization.
[0040] Furthermore, in step (6), the process of correcting the initial quenching parameters using the GA-BP-ANN neural network model is as follows:
[0041] (1) After the BP-ANN neural network operation, when the actual result of laser quenching is inconsistent with the predicted result, the initial processing parameters of quenching and the actual result are added as training data to the initial individual group of the GA algorithm module, and the GA algorithm module processing process in step (3) is repeated to calculate the initial optimal weight and threshold again until the predicted result is consistent with the actual result.
[0042] (2) When the predicted result of laser quenching is consistent with the actual result, compare the predicted result of laser quenching with the theoretical result. When the predicted result is inconsistent with the theoretical result, activate the parameter optimization function of the feedforward backpropagation learning algorithm BP in the BP-ANN neural network. Specifically, based on the theoretical result, calculate the error between the predicted result and the theoretical result to obtain the loss function. In the GA-BP-ANN neural network, the loss function is the mean square error function. ,Right now:

[0063] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0064] As shown in the figure, an intelligent composite strengthening method for the surface of a cutting tooth is proposed. This method strengthens the tooth tip using existing surface strengthening methods and simultaneously strengthens the weak areas of the cutting tooth using laser local quenching for secondary strengthening. The specific steps include:
[0065] (1) Establish an initial surface strengthening database for each type of cutting tooth after using different surface strengthening methods. The initial surface strengthening database includes different processing parameters and corresponding strengthening results for each surface strengthening method. Among them, the processing parameters are surface strengthening power, scanning speed and spot size, and the strengthening results are strengthening layer height, dilution rate, temperature distribution and strengthening layer width.
[0066] (2) Establish an initial laser strengthening database for each type of cutting tooth after laser local quenching. The initial laser strengthening database includes different processing parameters used during laser local quenching and the corresponding strengthening results. Among them, the processing parameters are scanning speed, laser power and spot diameter, and the strengthening results are hardness of quenched layer and depth of quenched layer.
[0067] (3) For tooth surface strengthening treatment, a surface strengthening intelligent database is established using a PSO-BP-ANN neural network model, and the initial optimal weights and thresholds of the BP-ANN neural network in the PSO-BP-ANN neural network model are determined using the initial surface strengthening database; for laser local quenching treatment, a laser strengthening intelligent database is established using a GA-BP-ANN neural network model, and the initial optimal weights and thresholds of the BP-ANN neural network in the GA-BP-ANN neural network model are determined using the initial laser strengthening database; specifically:
[0068] The PSO-BP-ANN neural network model combines an ANN neural network, the feedforward backpropagation (BP) learning algorithm, and the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. It has one input layer, two hidden layers, and one output layer. The input layer parameters are surface enhancement power, scanning speed, and spot size. The sigmoid function is used as the activation function from the input layer to the hidden layer and from the hidden layer to the hidden layer. The output layer parameters are enhancement layer height, enhancement layer width, temperature distribution, and dilution rate. The hidden layer has 9 neurons, and the activation function from the hidden layer to the output layer is the purelin linear function. Figure 1 As shown, the update algorithm for the PSO-BP-ANN neural network model is expressed as follows:

[0072] The process for determining the initial optimal weights and thresholds of the BP-ANN neural network in the PSO-BP-ANN neural network model is as follows: A basic BP-ANN neural network structure is constructed. The processing parameters from the initial surface strengthening database are imported into the BP-ANN neural network structure. The processing parameters and corresponding strengthening results from the initial surface strengthening database are imported into the PSO optimization algorithm module and normalized. Then, the initial optimal weights and thresholds of the BP-ANN neural network are obtained using the PSO optimization algorithm module embedded in the BP-ANN neural network structure. The PSO optimization algorithm module process is as follows: First, 100 particles with different positions and velocities are added to the PSO optimization algorithm. Each particle corresponds to a set of weight and threshold solutions, where: position represents the weight and threshold of the processing parameters carried by the particle, and velocity represents the direction and distance of the particle's movement in the next iteration. During the PSO optimization process, the position and velocity of the particles are continuously updated by comparing the individual optimal solution and the global optimal solution. After obtaining the optimal fitness after a set number of iterations, the weights and thresholds carried by the particles are used as the initial optimal weights and thresholds and substituted into the BP-ANN neural network.
[0073] The GA-BP-ANN neural network model combines an ANN neural network, the feedforward backpropagation (BP) learning algorithm, and the genetic algorithm (GA). It has one input layer, one hidden layer, and one output layer. The input layer parameters are scanning speed, laser power, and spot diameter; the output layer parameters are quenching layer depth and quenching layer hardness; and the hidden layer has 8 neurons. Figure 2 As shown, in the GA-BP-ANN neural network, the parameters in the input layer are treated as groups, with different parameter values corresponding to different groups. Each group is considered an individual, and each individual corresponds to a solution with a set of weights and thresholds. The formula for calculating the fitness of each individual is as follows:
[0074] ,
[0075] in: R i The hardness of the quenched layer is measured at any measurement point i. r i It is the predicted hardness of the quenched layer at any measurement point i obtained from ANN; H i It is the depth of the quenched layer measured at any measurement point i. h i The predicted quenching layer depth is obtained from any measurement point i using ANN, where n is the total number of measurement points. fit 1 To accommodate the hardness of the quenched layer. fit 2The fitness of the quenching layer depth is determined by selecting the individual with the smallest fitness to determine the initial weights and thresholds. The smaller the fitness, the closer the predicted value of the data set is to the measured value.
[0076] The process for determining the initial optimal weights and thresholds of the BP-ANN neural network in the GA-BP-ANN neural network model is as follows: First, a basic BP-ANN neural network structure is constructed. The processing parameters from the initial laser enhancement database are imported into the BP-ANN neural network structure. The processing parameters and corresponding enhancement results from the initial laser enhancement database are imported into the GA algorithm module and normalized. Then, the initial optimal weights and thresholds of the BP-ANN neural network are obtained using the GA algorithm module embedded in the BP-ANN neural network structure. The GA algorithm module process is as follows: The input layer parameters are grouped, and different parameter values correspond to different groups. Each group is treated as an individual, and each individual corresponds to a set of weights and thresholds. Thus, 100 individuals are added for training the neural network. During the GA optimization process, the predicted results of each individual are compared with the actual results. The smaller the difference between the predicted results and the actual results, the more suitable the set of weights and thresholds corresponding to that individual are. After a preset number of iterations, the weights and thresholds of the individual with the smallest difference are used as the initial optimal weights and thresholds and substituted into the BP-ANN neural network.
[0077] (4) During processing, the processing system automatically identifies the type of cutting tooth by taking pictures of the cutting tooth to be strengthened through the high-speed camera, and retrieves the processing parameters and results of tooth surface strengthening treatment that match the type of cutting tooth through the surface strengthening intelligent database, and retrieves the processing parameters and results of laser local quenching treatment that match the type of cutting tooth through the laser strengthening intelligent database. Then, the processing system uses the above two processing parameters as the initial processing parameters for surface strengthening and the initial processing parameters for quenching, respectively, to perform surface strengthening treatment and laser local quenching treatment on the cutting tooth to be strengthened at the same time.
[0078] (5) The PSO-BP-ANN neural network model and the GA-BP-ANN neural network model predict the surface strengthening result and the quenching strengthening result according to the corresponding initial surface strengthening processing parameters and initial quenching processing parameters, respectively. The predicted surface strengthening result and the quenching strengthening result are called the predicted result, the actual surface strengthening result and the quenching strengthening result after actual processing are called the actual result, and the retrieved tooth surface strengthening result and the quenching strengthening result are called the theoretical result. The three results are compared one by one. If the three are consistent, the corresponding strengthening process is continued according to the initial surface strengthening processing parameters and the initial quenching processing parameters until the cutting tooth processing is completed. If at least one of the three is inconsistent, step (6) is performed.
[0079] (6) Based on the theoretical results, the initial processing parameters for surface strengthening and quenching are corrected by the PSO-BP-ANN neural network model and the GA-BP-ANN neural network model respectively until the predicted results, actual results and theoretical results are consistent. The corrected surface strengthening and quenching processing parameters are used as the optimal processing parameters to strengthen the cutting teeth until the cutting teeth are processed. At the same time, the two optimal processing parameters are imported into the corresponding surface strengthening intelligent database and laser strengthening intelligent database for corresponding data correction.
[0080] The process of correcting the initial processing parameters for surface strengthening using the PSO-BP-ANN neural network model is as follows:
[0081] (1) After the BP-ANN neural network operation, when the actual result of surface strengthening is inconsistent with the predicted result, the initial processing parameters of surface strengthening and the actual result are added as training data to the initial particle swarm of the PSO optimization algorithm module, and the PSO optimization algorithm module processing in step (3) is repeated to calculate the initial optimal weight and threshold again until the predicted result is consistent with the actual result.
[0082] (2) When the predicted surface enhancement result matches the actual result, compare the predicted surface enhancement result with the theoretical result. When the predicted result and the theoretical result are inconsistent, activate the parameter optimization function of the feedforward backpropagation learning algorithm BP in the BP-ANN neural network. Specifically, based on the theoretical result, calculate the error between the predicted result and the theoretical result to obtain the loss function.

When the predicted result is inconsistent with the theoretical result, activate the parameter optimization function of the feedforward backpropagation learning algorithm BP in the BP-ANN neural network. Specifically, based on the theoretical result, calculate the error between the predicted result and the theoretical result to obtain the loss function.

[0110] The cutting teeth with a substrate material of 42CrMo were subjected to the intelligent composite strengthening treatment of the present invention, and then hardness testing was performed. Figure 3 The image shows the laser-hardened layer obtained by the intelligent composite strengthening method on the surface of the cutting tooth. The dark area at the top is the cutting tooth substrate, and the white area at the bottom is the laser-hardened layer. There is a good transition interface between the cutting tooth substrate and the laser-hardened layer. Figure 4 For the substrate area of the cutting tooth, two points were taken for hardness testing before its composite strengthening treatment. The microhardnesses were 555.5 HV and 552 HV, respectively (Rockwell hardnesses were 52.7 HRC and 52.5 HRC, respectively). Figure 5 The Rockwell hardness of the cutting tooth head after surface strengthening treatment is increased to about 68 HRC. Figure 6 For the laser-hardened areas of the weak points in the cutting tooth, hardness tests were performed on two sampling points. The results showed that the microhardness of the laser-hardened areas increased to 577.2 HV and 701.3 HV (Rockwell hardness of 59.1 HRC and 60.1 HRC, respectively). This demonstrates that after intelligent composite strengthening treatment, the hardness of the cutting tooth surface and the hardness of the weak points are significantly improved compared to the overall base material of the cutting tooth.
