Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tool wear monitoring and life prediction, and in particular to a tool wear diagnosis and life prediction method based on physical guidance online updating. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of intelligent manufacturing technologies, cutting tools are becoming increasingly important in high-speed milling operations. However, due to the significant differences in tool wear rates at different stages of wear, existing methods struggle to accurately monitor and predict tool wear. Traditional methods rely primarily on empirical and data-driven models to model and predict tool wear, but these approaches have significant limitations in practical applications.

[0003] On the one hand, methods based on physical models often assume that tool wear characteristics are stable under different working conditions, which makes it impossible to accurately predict tool wear status under complex and variable working conditions; on the other hand, although methods based on data-driven models can adapt to a variety of working conditions, due to the lack of physical constraints, they are prone to overfitting, affecting the prediction accuracy.

[0004] In recent years, hybrid approaches combining physical and data-driven models have gained increasing attention. However, existing research has largely neglected the importance of online wear signature updates and lacks effective methods for real-time adjustments to tool wear status. Therefore, an online update method that integrates physical and data-driven models is urgently needed to improve the real-time performance and accuracy of tool wear diagnosis and life prediction.
