AI Technical Summary
Traditional hydrostatic guide rail design lacks a unified consideration of uncertain excitations in dynamic performance optimization, which leads to the stiffness-damping ratio deviating from the design value, causing positioning overshoot or vibration amplification. Existing technologies do not have an effective solution.
A time-domain response-based hydrostatic guide rail oil pad stiffness-damping ratio co-optimization method is adopted. By constructing the Reynolds equation and dimensionless analysis, combined with the finite difference method and the Longokuta method, the throttle structure is optimized to improve stiffness and control the damping ratio within the range of 1 to 1.2, taking into account the uncertainties of cutting force and oil supply pressure.
This approach achieves the goal of reducing overshoot and shortening settling time while ensuring the dynamic stiffness of the oil pad, thereby improving the dynamic performance stability and reliability of the hydrostatic guide rail.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a dynamic performance design technology for hydrostatic guideways of precision machine tools, and more specifically to a method for evaluating the overshoot / settling time of a hydrostatic oil pad and co-optimizing the stiffness-damping ratio while simultaneously considering the uncertainties of oil supply pressure and cutting force. Background Art
[0002] Traditional hydrostatic guideway design focuses on steady-state load and static stiffness, while transient overshoot (M) and 2% settling time (t) are only tested through calibration tests, lacking a predictable dynamic optimization method. Furthermore, the oil pressure (P) and cutting force (Fc) exhibit random distributions during actual machining, often causing the stiffness-damping ratio (KC) to deviate from the designed value, leading to positioning overshoot or vibration amplification. Existing technologies lack a systematic optimization process that uniformly considers uncertain excitations and targets the stiffness-damping ratio. Summary of the Invention
[0003] While ensuring the dynamic stiffness of the oil pad, the overshoot is minimized and the stabilization time is shortened; by considering the statistical distribution of P and Fc, the damping ratio is within the 95% confidence range and meets the stiffness requirements.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is a method for collaboratively optimizing the stiffness and damping ratio of a hydrostatic guide rail oil pad based on time domain response, comprising the following steps:
[0005] Step 1:
[0006] First, construct the Reynolds equation for the static oil film in the Cartesian coordinate system and make it dimensionless:
[0007]
[0008] Where: p0——oil chamber pressure,
[0009] R0——The maximum radius of the fan-shaped oil pad,
[0010] h0——initial oil film thickness,
[0011] μ0——lubricating oil viscosity,
[0012] U is radial velocity, V is axial velocity.
[0013] Simplify the constant pressure closed static oil pad into a parallel spring damping system and perform force analysis:
[0014]
[0015] In the formula: m is the system mass; C1 is the damping of the upper oil pad; C2 is the damping of the upper oil pad; K1 is the stiffness of the upper oil pad; K2 is the stiffness of the lower oil pad; F(t) is the external force.
[0016] The elastic forces W and W can be calculated by the finite difference method, and the dimensionless damping coefficient Dimensionalization can be performed to obtain the damping coefficient. Further simplification can be obtained as follows:
[0017]
[0018] Where: e is the change in oil film thickness (m); h1 is the thickness of the upper oil film; h2 is the thickness of the lower oil film; μ0 is the initial viscosity.
[0019] The steps to obtain the dimensionless damping coefficient of the oil pad are as follows: First, the damping term in the Reynolds equation or the dimensionless damping term in the dimensionless Reynolds equation Different values are set; secondly, the finite difference method is used to repeatedly solve the corresponding relationship between dimensionless bearing capacity and dimensionless damping, and the dimensionless damping coefficient is obtained by fitting this relationship. Finally, the time domain response curve of the oil pad can be solved using the Longo Kutta method.
[0020] Step 2:
[0021] Based on the dynamic characteristics analysis model and Reynolds equation, the calculation formulas for system damping and stiffness are obtained:
[0022]
[0023] Where: Φ(x)——bearing capacity calculation.
[0024] Based on the basic knowledge of control engineering, the solution method for the system natural frequency and damping ratio is established:
[0025]
[0026] Dynamic characteristics such as stabilization time (the minimum time required to reach and stay within the ±2% error range of the stable value) and maximum overshoot can be obtained:
[0027]
[0028] %OS=100M p %
[0029] Step 3:
[0030] In actual machining, there are some uncertainties. For example, the cutting force applied to the workpiece varies with factors such as surface topography inconsistencies and tool wear. Furthermore, during the constant-pressure oil supply process, factors such as cavitation in the hydraulic station or voltage instability can cause fluctuations in oil supply pressure, which also manifests as uncertainty in the data. Therefore, these uncertainties must be considered during the optimization process to ensure that the final results fall within a reliable range.
[0031] To synergistically improve these two key parameters, stiffness and damping ratio, a multi-objective optimization process was required, resulting in greater stiffness and a damping ratio within the 1 to 1.2 range. To optimize the oil pad structure without affecting the overall turntable layout, the optimization parameters were primarily focused on the throttle structure. This allowed the oil circuits on the existing hydrostatic bearings to be reused without affecting the turntable's structural layout.
[0032] Based on this, the following uncertain optimization model is proposed:
[0033]
[0034] Where d s1 ——upper flow edge width (mm); d s2 ——width of lower channeling edge / mm; l Z ——throttle length (mm); L j ——Throttle feedback gap length (mm); L m ——Length of the gap in the middle of the throttle (mm).
[0035] This method allows for optimization that results in optimal stiffness with a very low probability of the damping ratio dropping below 1. Previous stiffness optimization methods typically increased stiffness at the expense of increased stabilization time. This method allows for rapid stiffness optimization while ensuring a relatively fast stabilization time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

This allowed the oil circuits on the existing hydrostatic bearings to be reused without affecting the turntable's structural layout.
