Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent milling cutters for mechanical processing, and in particular to an integrated intelligent milling cutter system that integrates tool vibration and force signals. Background Art
[0002] As a widely used rotary tool in the manufacturing industry, milling cutters are crucial in milling processing. A large number of high-precision, high-quality key components rely on milling technology. During the milling process, the milling cutter rubs and collides with the workpiece at high speed and high frequency, resulting in frequent tool wear problems, and the processing accuracy will continue to decrease with the increase in use time. If the parameters such as cutting speed, cutting depth, and spindle speed are set improperly, it will not only reduce the processing efficiency and shorten the tool life, but may also cause tool breakage and increased vibration. In extreme cases, it may even cause chipping and tool jamming, which will have a negative impact on the surface quality of the workpiece, reduce the stability of the machine tool, and damage the machine tool spindle, ultimately causing a sharp increase in processing costs and forced interruption of production activities. In view of this, it is imperative to improve the intelligence level of milling cutters, which can achieve accurate perception and intelligent control of the processing process, effectively improve processing accuracy and efficiency, reduce scrap rate, cut costs, and effectively promote the development of processing technology in the direction of intelligence, thereby greatly improving the overall level of industry.
[0003] With the in-depth exploration of intelligent tool research, intelligent tools developed by combining sensors, data acquisition, signal processing, computers and other technologies can monitor the cutting process more comprehensively, meticulously and timely, and then reflect the processing status. They can use machine learning and other methods to identify the features of the collected signals, and then judge the tool wear and remaining tool life.
[0004] At the same time, applying technologies such as sensors, data acquisition, signal processing, and computers to milling processing can monitor various abnormal situations and achieve timely control. However, most of the existing intelligent milling cutters only focus on the application of a single sensor, that is, only a single parameter is collected, processed, and analyzed. Although related research is relatively mature, the processing state reflected by a single signal has certain limitations, which can easily lead to misjudgment of state monitoring. The integrated intelligent milling cutter with integrated multiple sensors can use multi-dimensional signals to more accurately monitor and reflect the cutting state.
[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop an integrated intelligent milling cutter system that integrates tool vibration and force signals. Summary of the invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an integrated intelligent milling cutter system that integrates tool vibration and force signals to solve the problems existing in the prior art.
[0007] The technical solution adopted to achieve the purpose of the present invention is as follows: an integrated intelligent milling cutter system that integrates tool vibration and force signals, including a cutter head, a tool rod, a housing, a clamping part, two vibration sensors, several PVDF force sensors and a signal processing circuit board.
[0008] The clamping part includes a tool bar connection part, a flange and a tapered handle in sequence from the head end to the tail end. The tool bar connection part includes a cylindrical section I, a cylindrical section II and a cylindrical section III in sequence.

[0010] The shell is sleeved on the periphery of the shank and the clamping part. The shell is a stepped rotary shell with upper and lower ends open. The shell includes a small diameter section and a large diameter section. The small diameter section covers the PVDF force sensor. The large diameter section covers the shank connecting part. The lower end opening of the shell is closed by a flange, and a shell rubber sealing ring is arranged in the gap between the upper end opening and the shank. The large diameter section and cylindrical section I enclose a circuit board accommodating space. The large diameter section and cylindrical section II enclose a circuit board base accommodating space. The large diameter section and cylindrical section III enclose a battery compartment accommodating space.
[0011] A circuit board base is arranged in the circuit board base accommodating space. A heat-mount flange is arranged on the lower surface of the circuit board base, and a hexagonal copper column is arranged on the upper surface.

The lithium battery, vibration sensor and PVDF force sensor are all connected to the signal processing circuit board.
[0012] During the cutting process, the cutter head deforms under the action of the cutting force and generates corresponding strain. The strain is transmitted to the PVDF force sensor through the cutter bar. The charge signal generated by the PVDF force sensor is transmitted to the signal processing circuit board. The vibration sensor senses the acceleration change caused by the vibration of the milling cutter and transmits the voltage signal to the signal processing circuit board. The signal processing circuit board encodes the sensor signal and transmits it to the host computer.
[0013] Furthermore, three vibration sensor fixing threaded holes are drilled at the bottom of the vibration sensor installation groove. The vibration sensor is fixedly connected to the clamping part by vibration sensor fixing screws.
[0014] Furthermore, the signal processing circuit board includes a wireless transmission module, a control module, a power supply module, a signal preprocessing module and an analog-to-digital conversion module. The entire hardware circuit is powered by a lithium battery. The charging circuit of the power supply module is used to charge the lithium battery, and the DC-DC voltage regulator circuit provides the corresponding stable voltage for the circuit components. The signal preprocessing module performs signal conditioning on the analog signal output by the sensor, and uses the AD converter inside the main microcontroller chip to convert the analog signal into a digital signal. The wireless transmission module is used to wirelessly transmit data to the PC host software.
[0015] Furthermore, holes are reserved on the side wall of the housing to accommodate the installation of a magnetic charging head and a switch button. A charging interface slot is provided in the circuit board accommodation space. The magnetic charging head and the switch button are both connected to a signal processing circuit board.
[0016] Furthermore, six circumferential threaded holes are drilled on the side wall of the cylindrical section III. The housing is fixed to the clamping part by screws.
[0017] Furthermore, the clamping part uses a non-standard BT50 tool handle. The taper of the taper handle is 7:24.
[0018] Furthermore, the battery compartment as a whole is a hollow cylindrical structure. The inner cavity of the battery compartment is marked as the middle through hole of the battery compartment. The upper and lower ends of the battery compartment are open and extend outward to form the battery compartment top and the battery compartment bottom. Battery compartment ribs are evenly spaced on the side walls of the battery compartment. The battery compartment top, the battery compartment bottom, the battery compartment ribs and the battery compartment together enclose a plurality of independent battery accommodating cavities. The battery compartment top is provided with an opening at a position corresponding to the battery accommodating cavity. The lithium battery slides into the battery accommodating cavity through the opening.
[0019] The technical effect of the present invention is unquestionable: under the premise of changing the original structure to a small extent, combined with the signal acquisition and processing circuit of the vibration sensor, force sensor, and integrated WIFI wireless transmission module, the tool vibration and cutting force in the milling process can be measured in real time and uploaded to the host computer. The intelligent milling cutter can guide the actual processing and the implementation method is simple and convenient, which plays an important role in improving the cutting conditions and replacing the cutter in time.

[0032] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments, but it should not be understood that the above subject matter of the present invention is limited to the following embodiments. Without departing from the above technical ideas of the present invention, various substitutions and changes are made according to the common technical knowledge and customary means in the art, which should all be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
[0033] Embodiment 1:
[0034] During the milling process, the milling cutter will face huge and high-frequency cutting forces, and high-speed friction will generate a lot of heat. These factors will cause the surface of the milling cutter head to wear or even break after a certain period of processing or a certain number of processing.
[0035] See also Figure 1 to Figure 7 This embodiment provides an integrated intelligent milling cutter system that integrates tool vibration and force signals, including a cutter head 1, a tool rod 2, a housing 3, a clamping part 4, two vibration sensors 13, a PVDF force sensor 9 and a signal processing circuit board 15.
[0036] The clamping part 4 includes a tool bar connection part 401, a flange 402 and a tapered handle 403 from the head end to the tail end. The tool bar connection part 401 includes a cylindrical section I, a cylindrical section II and a cylindrical section III in sequence. Vibration sensor mounting grooves 406 are provided on the side walls of the cylindrical section I. The vibration sensor 13 is accommodated in the vibration sensor mounting groove 406. Key grooves 404 are provided on both sides of the flange 402. The clamping part 4 is axially provided with a tool handle through hole 408. In this way, it can ensure that the vibration sensor works stably with the tool handle and reliably collect vibration signals, providing strong support for the subsequent vibration analysis during the processing process. The clamping part 4 is axially provided with a tool handle through hole 408.
[0037] The front end of the tool bar 2 is connected to the tool head 1, and the rear end extends into the front end of the tool handle through hole 408. Several PVDF force sensors 9 are pasted around the circumference of the upper shaft of the tool bar 2. PVDF is a piezoelectric film material with a positive piezoelectric effect. In actual applications, the thickness of the PVDF force sensor 9 pasted on the surface of the tool bar 2 is extremely small. When it is subjected to external force, its internal molecular structure will undergo polarization, causing electric charge to be generated on the surface of the material. In this process, after the strain generated by the tool head 1 is transmitted to the PVDF force sensor 9, the PVDF film will generate an electric charge due to the positive piezoelectric effect. The generated charge signal enters the signal processing module 41 through the signal line. The signal preprocessing module 41 will perform a series of processing operations on the charge signal, including signal amplification, filtering, conversion, etc., and finally convert the charge signal into a voltage signal. Through the relationship between the strain and the output voltage established in advance, the voltage signal can be used to infer the magnitude of the cutting force. Since the cutting force is usually a spatial vector with components in three directions, the total cutting force signal can be decomposed into forces in three mutually perpendicular directions, that is, the magnitude of the three-way force. Therefore, the magnitude of the cutting force in different directions during the cutting process can be accurately grasped, providing strong data support for subsequent machining process analysis and optimization.
[0038] The shell 3 is sleeved on the periphery of the shank 2 and the clamping part 4. The shell 3 is a stepped rotary shell with upper and lower ends open. The shell 3 includes a small diameter section and a large diameter section. The small diameter section covers the PVDF force sensor 9. The large diameter section covers the shank connection part. The lower end opening of the shell 3 is closed by the conductive slip ring connection part, and the shell rubber sealing ring 8 is arranged in the gap between the upper end opening and the shank 2. The large diameter section and the cylindrical section I enclose a circuit board accommodating space. The large diameter section and the cylindrical section II enclose a circuit board base accommodating space. The large diameter section and the cylindrical section III enclose a battery compartment accommodating space.
[0039] A circuit board base 17 is arranged in the circuit board base accommodating space. A heat-mount flange 18 is arranged on the lower surface of the circuit board base 17, and a hexagonal copper column 16 is arranged on the upper surface. The circuit board base 17 is fixedly mounted on the heat-mount flange 18 using circuit board base fixing screws 21. A battery compartment 20 is arranged in the battery compartment accommodating space. A plurality of lithium batteries 19 are arranged in the battery compartment 20. The top of the battery compartment 20 is fixed to the heat-mount flange 18. A signal processing circuit board 15 is arranged in the circuit board accommodating space. The signal processing circuit board 15 is mounted and fixed on the hexagonal copper column 16 using circuit board fixing screws 22. The lithium battery 19, the vibration sensor 13 and the PVDF force sensor 9 are all connected to the signal processing circuit board 15.
[0040] Press the switch button 7 to start the integrated intelligent milling cutter system to monitor the cutting status of the tool. During the cutting process, the cutter head 1 is deformed by the cutting force and produces corresponding strain. The strain is transmitted to the PVDF force sensor 9 through the tool rod 2. The charge signal generated by the PVDF force sensor 9 is transmitted to the signal processing circuit board 15. The vibration sensor 13 senses the acceleration change caused by the vibration of the milling cutter and transmits the voltage signal to the signal processing circuit board 15. The signal processing circuit board 15 encodes the sensor signal and transmits it to the host computer.
[0041] This embodiment uses sensors to collect and analyze data on vibration and force during the cutting process, and can establish a correspondence between vibration, force and tool cutting status and tool wear, so as to provide timely feedback on abnormal processing status and provide guidance for operations such as tool changing.
[0042] It is worth noting that during the acquisition process, the signals output by the vibration and force sensors are converted from mV analog signals to digital signals through the AD converter, and are transmitted to the main microcontroller chip at high speed through the SPI interface. The main microcontroller chip uses information encoding methods such as ASCII encoding and BCD encoding to represent the signal in binary, and uses data encoding to convert the binary data into a digital signal suitable for transmission. The encoded digital signal is transmitted to the wireless transmission module at high speed through the SPI interface. The digital signal is modulated onto the radio frequency wave through the wireless transmission module, so that the digital signal becomes a signal form suitable for transmission, and is transmitted to the PC host through the communication protocol. After receiving the signal on the PC side, the signal is demodulated into a digital signal through the host program, and then further decoded into the original signal and displayed on the host. The main function of the host software is to control the data acquisition of the intelligent milling cutter lower computer and display the collected cutting data. By linking with the lower computer wireless transmission module, the functions required for various data acquisitions such as acquisition settings and acquisition start and stop are realized. The main functions of the upper computer software include: being able to wirelessly connect and communicate with the intelligent milling cutter lower computer, and controlling the start, stop and acquisition of the lower computer through the upper computer software; being able to receive the digital signal transmitted by the intelligent milling cutter lower computer in real time, and restore it to the original signal through decoding calculation; being able to store the data collected by the intelligent milling cutter lower computer, and save it to a file by creating a path and file name for subsequent analysis; being able to open and view historical data; and being equipped with a prompt light for normal connection or operation, so as to facilitate finding connection and operation abnormalities encountered during the acquisition process.
[0043] The online monitoring interface of the upper computer software includes the data acquisition saving path selection and naming settings, alarm threshold settings, network connection settings, acquisition settings, acquisition start and end buttons, "wear prediction" and "feature monitoring" interfaces, "time domain waveform" and "frequency domain spectrum" interfaces. Among them, the data acquisition saving path and naming settings are used to select the acquisition signal saving path and file naming. Click "path selection" to pop up the folder selection window. After setting the name, click "confirm naming" to confirm. If you want to change it, click "rename"; the alarm threshold setting is used to set the vibration value for judging the piercing knife. If the threshold is exceeded, the status indicator turns red to indicate a fault; the network connection setting is used to set the network connection address and port number. When the wireless network connection is successful, the status displays "connected", the icon is in a connected state, and the intelligent milling cutter lower computer can receive software signals; the acquisition settings are used to set the cutting signal acquisition frequency, wireless acquisition channel and trigger mode; The acquisition start and end buttons are used to control the start and end of cutting signal acquisition. The software successfully sends the acquisition command to the tool holder lower computer, and the acquisition status indicator lights up; the "wear prediction" and "feature monitoring" interfaces are used to display the predicted wear value and the time domain and frequency domain feature transformation of the signals in the three directions of x, y, and z in real time and draw the wear state change curve. It has the functions of "data interval" (reducing the amount of calculation interval sampling), "data length" (the length of the time series signal required for a single prediction), and "model selection" (selecting the trained model for tool wear prediction); the "time domain waveform" and "frequency domain spectrum" interfaces are used to display the acquired signal waveform and the corresponding spectrum diagram in real time.
[0044] The offline analysis interface of the host computer software includes loading file path and parameter settings, model training settings, and operation log interface. Among them, loading file path and parameter settings are used to select the historical files to be viewed, and the historical data can be viewed by opening the files in the folder. After the file is loaded, set the sampling frequency, click the "Parameter Confirmation" button, and you can draw the images corresponding to the "wear monitoring", "feature monitoring", "time domain waveform" and "frequency domain spectrum" of the historical file. The difference from online monitoring is that there is no need to set interval sampling and fixed window to display the time domain waveform; model training settings include selecting the model, sample data and labels to be trained, and clicking the "Model Migration Training" button to update the current model. The "Training Status" indicator light is on during model training; the operation log interface is used to record various operation records, error feedback and abnormal situations in detail to ensure the traceability and stability of offline analysis work.

Two sets of different voltage signals will be transmitted to the analog-to-digital conversion module 42 in the signal processing circuit board 15, and the voltage analog signals will be converted into digital signals. Then, these digital signals will be sent to the main microcontroller chip of the control module 37. The main microcontroller chip will use information encoding to convert the signal into a binary encoding form. Subsequently, the encoded digital signal will be sent to the wireless transmission module 14 in a high-speed transmission manner through the SPI interface for subsequent data transmission and processing operations.
[0049] The main function of the wireless transmission module 14 is to modulate the digital signal onto the radio frequency wave, thereby converting the digital signal into a signal form suitable for transmission. Afterwards, according to a specific communication protocol, the signal will be transmitted to the host computer. In the host computer software, by running the corresponding program, the received signal will be demodulated and restored to a digital signal.
