Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of five-axis machining centers, in particular to a horizontal five-axis turning-milling composite center with a self-adaptive matching system. BACKGROUND
[0002] The horizontal five-axis turning-milling composite center is a kind of high-end numerical control machine tool integrating turning, milling, boring and drilling and other multiple machining functions, which is widely used in the fields of aerospace, energy equipment and precision mold manufacturing. This kind of machine tool usually realizes multi-process continuous machining through the tool turret and automatic tool changer to improve the machining efficiency and precision. However, with the increasing demand for machining of complex parts, the shortcomings of the traditional automatic tool changing system in tool recognition, posture detection and clamping safety control gradually appear.
[0003] In the prior art, the tool turret or boring tool mechanism relies on a single mechanical code or position sensing device for tool recognition. For example, a common structure realizes tool position confirmation by setting mechanical limit pieces or magnetic sensing blocks on the tool turret tool position, or realizes manual input by tool code card. Although this kind of method is simple in structure, it is difficult to realize dynamic recognition and automatic matching of tools, especially in the multi-process mixed machining scene, it is easy to cause tool sequence disorder, inconsistent information or life data loss. Once tool recognition error occurs, it may cause tool changing failure, spindle collision, workpiece scrap and other serious consequences.
[0004] In addition, the common visual detection system in the existing horizontal turning-milling composite machine tool is a two-dimensional detection mode of single camera, which can only detect the shape contour or position coordinates of the tool, and cannot accurately identify the three-dimensional posture and clamping angle of the tool. When the tool is slightly skewed or loose during the taking and placing process of the mechanical hand, the system is difficult to detect and correct in time, resulting in accumulation of clamping angle error, and finally affecting the machining precision and workpiece surface quality. At the same time, the traditional wear detection method still mainly relies on manual periodic inspection or single-point photoelectric detection, which lacks real-time and adaptive ability, and cannot realize online identification and early warning of tool wear, blade collapse or blade edge damage.
[0005] In complex production environment, the interference of cooling liquid atomization, light reflection and machine tool high-temperature oil mist on visual detection is particularly significant, resulting in unstable image recognition result. Although some models try to use filters or enhanced lighting modules for improvement, it is still difficult to balance the needs of multi-angle imaging and high-contrast recognition, and the system reliability is limited. At the same time, the existing tool changing system generally lacks trajectory prediction and anti-collision simulation function for tool motion process, and the tool changing path planning relies on manual setting or experience value, which cannot identify the interference risk in advance in complex space, increasing the uncertainty and maintenance cost of machine tool operation.
[0006] Therefore, the existing problems are researched and improved, and a horizontal five-axis turning-milling composite center with an adaptive matching system is provided to solve the existing problems, so as to solve the problems and improve the practical value. SUMMARY

[0016] Specifically, non-contact optical measurement is used to realize real-time detection of the tool edge topography, thereby preventing the use of worn tools and ensuring the processing quality and equipment safety.
[0017] In a preferred example, the visual monitoring assembly adopts a multi-camera perception architecture, and the tool multi-angle image is synchronously collected through industrial cameras distributed in different directions; the control system identifies and predicts the motion trajectory, clamping dynamics and path deviation during the tool taking and placing process based on time series feature extraction and multi-frame fusion algorithm.
[0018] Specifically, the dynamic deviation correction of the tool changing path is realized through time sequence perception and motion prediction, thereby improving the stability and safety of the tool changing action.

The system is also equipped with an oil mist filtering algorithm and a polarized filter to optimize the image quality in high oil mist or strong reflection environment.
[0020] Specifically, the robustness of visual recognition in complex environments is improved to ensure clear images and edge recognition accuracy.
[0021] In a preferred example, the control system uses a time sequence difference algorithm to detect the tool micro-displacement based on the continuous images collected by the visual monitoring assembly, thereby realizing dynamic compensation of the taking and placing error and misloading detection.
[0022] Specifically, real-time monitoring and self-correction of the tool changing motion deviation are realized to avoid processing deviation caused by accumulated clamping errors.

[0024] Specifically, a dual-channel joint verification mechanism is established to ensure the safety and reliability of tool information identification.
[0025] In a preferred example, the control system has a self-learning function, which can automatically update the tool feature template based on historical image samples, and adaptively adjust the detection parameters according to different tool models.

[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.
[0044] It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
[0045] The following describes, with reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present invention, a horizontal five-axis milling and turning center with an adaptive matching system.
[0046] Combination Figures 1-2 As shown, the present invention provides a horizontal five-axis milling and turning center with an adaptive matching system, including a turret 100, a boring mechanism 200, a tool changing area, and a control system. This machine tool adopts a horizontal layout structure, possessing both a high-rigidity spindle 400 drive and five-axis simultaneous machining capability, making it suitable for one-time clamping and forming of complex parts.
[0047] The tool turret 100 is arranged on the side of the main shaft 400, has multiple tool positions, and is used for mounting different types of turning, milling or drilling tools; the tool turret 100 is internally provided with a driving servo device, and accurate rotation and positioning of multiple tool positions can be realized. The boring tool mechanism 200 adopts a wheel disc type arrangement, multiple boring tools of different specifications are uniformly arranged on the outer periphery of the wheel disc, the wheel disc is driven to rotate by a indexing servo motor, so that high-precision machining of multiple hole diameters and internal cavities can be realized. The tool changing area is arranged between the tool turret 100 and the boring tool mechanism 200, and is a core area of tool transfer and identification. The tool changing area is provided with an automatic tool taking and placing manipulator, and is used for automatic transfer, clamping and storage operations between different tools.
[0048] The control system is a core coordination unit, and is integrated with a numerical control main controller, an RFID identification module, a visual monitoring module, a self-adaptive matching module, a data fusion module and a digital twin simulation module. Data interaction and coordinated control of the functional units are realized through an industrial network bus, so that a closed intelligent tool changing control system is formed.
[0049] In the system, the tool turret 100 and the tool changing area of the boring tool mechanism 200 are each provided with a radio frequency identification reading device, and an RFID chip label is attached to the outer surface of each tool. The label records basic data such as tool number, specification, service life, number of uses and length compensation parameters.
[0050] When the manipulator performs a tool taking or placing operation, the reading device can identify the label information in real time and upload the information to the control system. The control system compares the tool calling information of the corresponding process in the machining task database, automatically judges whether the tool meets the requirements of the process, and realizes self-adaptive matching of the tool and the process. When the tool type or sequence is detected to be abnormal, the system automatically triggers a sequence correction function, suspends the tool changing action and prompts manual confirmation or automatically calls a backup tool, so that the accuracy and safety of the tool changing process are ensured.
[0051] The linkage of the RFID system and the control system ensures the traceability of the tool data in the whole life cycle, so that the calling sequence, service life and state parameters of the tool in the continuous machining of multiple processes are monitored and dynamically updated in real time.
[0052] In this embodiment, the tool changing area is provided with a visual monitoring assembly for realizing omnibearing detection of the appearance, posture and state of the tool. The assembly is composed of multiple industrial cameras, an adjustable light system, a structured light stripe projection module, a light filtering device and an image processing unit.
[0053] Industrial cameras are distributed above, on the side and in front of the tool changing area, forming a ring-shaped arrangement structure to simultaneously collect tool images from different angles. The adjustable lighting system is composed of coaxial ring light and lateral strip light, which can automatically adjust the light intensity and color temperature according to the tool material, reflection characteristics and environmental brightness to achieve the best imaging effect. Polarizing filters and oil mist-proof optical sheets are set in front of the light source to suppress image interference caused by strong reflection of metal surface and cooling liquid atomization.
[0054] The structured light stripe projection module projects high-precision light stripes onto the tool surface, and obtains the geometric profile and wear state of the tool surface by analyzing the deformation of the light stripes. The control system analyzes the light stripe images, and when it finds that the light stripes are broken, shifted or discontinuous, it determines that the tool has wear, damage or attitude deviation. The system compares the detection results with the standard template of the tool, and automatically enables the backup tool when the preset threshold is exceeded, realizing intelligent early warning and replacement before processing.
[0055] In this embodiment, the visual monitoring assembly uses a multi-camera time sequence fusion algorithm to perform time sequence feature extraction and three-dimensional reconstruction using image data synchronously collected by multiple cameras. The system first realizes frame-level alignment of images from each camera through a time synchronization module, and then extracts key edge points and contour feature points of the tool using a feature matching algorithm. Through multi-frame data fusion, the system can obtain the three-dimensional attitude parameters of the tool, including spatial position and angle information.
[0056] During tool mounting or tool alignment, the control system compares the actual attitude with the standard attitude template in the database, and generates correction instructions automatically when it detects a clamping angle deviation, driving the robot to adjust the tool clamping attitude, thereby realizing fully automatic tool alignment and angle correction.
[0057] At the same time, the control system performs time difference analysis on the continuous image sequence during tool picking and placing, extracts the motion trajectory of the tool end, and automatically performs path correction and dynamic compensation when it detects nonlinear deviation or micro-jitter in the trajectory, to improve the stability and safety of the tool changing action.
[0058] In the multi-camera time sequence fusion algorithm, multiple cameras are used to continuously collect image frames from different angles in a fixed or moving scene, and the attitude, position, motion trajectory and state change of the target (such as the tool) in the three-dimensional space are recovered or estimated through space-time data fusion. The key is to fuse the information of "multi-view" + "multi-time frame", which is more accurate and robust than single-frame and single-camera recognition.
[0059] Specifically, 3-5 cameras are arranged in the tool changing area (e.g. one above, one on the left and one on the right, and one in front) to cover the tool picking and placing, mounting, and clamping points.
[0060] Simultaneously acquire continuous frames after tool picking, tool loading, and clamping, use a time-series fusion algorithm to estimate the tool posture (including angular deviation, radial deviation, and tool holder tilt) and compare it with a standard template;
[0061] When the system detects that the posture deviation exceeds the preset tolerance, it automatically triggers the robot arm to make fine adjustments or re-clamp, thereby achieving "automatic tool setting and clamping angle correction".
[0062] By using a structured light module in conjunction with a camera, the wear and breakage of the cutting edge of a tool can be detected and fused into the temporal state for judgment.
[0063] The visual recognition results are combined with the RFID recognition results (tool identity + tool posture + motion trajectory) to determine whether to continue processing or call up a spare tool.
[0064] In this embodiment, the structured light module detects minute deformations in the cutting edge region of the tool using a stripe scanning method, and determines tool wear, chipping, or nicks based on the amount of light stripe deformation. The control system analyzes the detected light stripe morphology and calculates the wear depth and positional deviation. When the wear level exceeds a preset threshold, the system automatically triggers a tool replacement command and records the wear data.
[0065] This detection method enables non-contact detection of the tool's microstructure and allows for rapid detection before, after, and during machining intervals, enabling dynamic monitoring and precision control of the tool's condition.
[0066] In this embodiment, to ensure the reliability of the system's detection in complex industrial environments, the visual monitoring component of this invention features an adaptive imaging control mechanism. During the detection process, the system automatically adjusts exposure parameters and light intensity based on the tool surface reflectivity, coolant atomization level, and ambient light intensity. The adjustable illumination system works in conjunction with a polarizing filter to maintain stable edge sharpness and contrast under various conditions.
[0067] The control system incorporates an oil mist filtering algorithm that analyzes the image's grayscale histogram distribution in real time and performs frequency domain enhancement processing to eliminate high-frequency noise and fogging scattering. Even in environments with strong light, high temperature, and high reflectivity, the system can obtain clear and stable tool images, thereby ensuring the accuracy of subsequent identification and positioning.
[0068] In this embodiment, the control system uses a multi-source data fusion model to jointly calculate the RFID identification results and visual recognition features to comprehensively determine the tool's identity, position, and attitude. When the two identification information match, the system confirms the tool change process is legitimate; if there is an inconsistency or identification anomaly, the system immediately triggers a safety rejection logic, suspends the tool change action, and issues an alarm signal.
[0069] This fusion mechanism enables tool identification to have dual verification capabilities, avoiding clamping errors or workpiece scrapping caused by a single identification error, and improving the reliability of the entire tool changing process.
[0070] In this embodiment, the control system of the present invention is equipped with an adaptive matching module, which can automatically calculate the tool length deviation based on visual inspection data and RFID reading parameters. The system obtains the actual tool length through visual inspection and compares it with the standard length data stored in the RFID to calculate the tool length difference. Subsequently, the system automatically writes the compensation value into the tool length register of the CNC machine tool control unit in real time, thereby realizing automatic correction of the machining coordinates.
[0071] Through this closed-loop compensation mechanism, the machine tool can automatically complete tool setting and length correction without manual measurement, ensuring the long-term stability of machining accuracy.
[0072] During long-term operation, the control system continuously records image samples, recognition results, and compensation values for each tool change, establishing a tool recognition feature database. The system utilizes a self-learning algorithm to extract features and perform cluster analysis on the samples, automatically updating the tool template parameters.
[0073] When a new tool model is introduced into use, the system can quickly generate a matching template from a small number of samples, automatically adjust the recognition parameters and thresholds, and achieve cross-model adaptive detection. This mechanism reduces manual intervention and significantly improves the system's scalability and adaptability.
[0074] In this embodiment, to prevent monitoring signal loss or environmental interference, the present invention includes an image anomaly detection module in the visual monitoring component. This module analyzes the image brightness distribution and contrast gradient in real time, and automatically determines the abnormal state when image distortion or occlusion is detected, and activates a backup camera or backup visual channel for redundant identification.
[0075] With the redundant design of multiple visual channels, even if a single camera becomes contaminated, out of focus, or obstructed, it will not affect the overall recognition function of the system, thereby ensuring the continuity and safety of the tool changing process.
[0076] In this embodiment, the control system and the vision monitoring components jointly establish a digital twin tool changing model. The model includes the geometric parameters and kinematic models of the turret 100, the boring mechanism 200, and the robotic arm. Before the tool changing action, the system simulates the tool movement trajectory based on real-time attitude data, predicts the clamping path and attitude changes, and identifies potential interference areas in advance.
[0077] If simulation results indicate a collision risk, the system will automatically optimize the robot's trajectory and tool change speed curve to perform avoidance corrections. This predictive control method effectively avoids mechanical collisions caused by path errors or differences in tool shape, ensuring the safe operation of the machine tool.
[0078] The working process of this invention includes the following steps:
[0079] The control system loads the machining task database and generates a tool call table; the RFID reader identifies the current tool and uploads tool information; the vision monitoring component detects the tool's appearance, posture, and wear status; the control system performs a fusion judgment of RFID and vision data; if the judgment results are consistent, the robotic arm performs the tool pick-up and drop-off operation; the system tracks the tool movement in real time and performs error compensation during the tool change process; after the tool change is completed, the control system automatically corrects the tool length compensation value based on the detection data; when wear or damage is detected, a spare tool is automatically activated; before the tool change, the digital twin module performs simulation verification and optimizes the trajectory; after the tool change is completed, the system updates the tool life data and records it to the database.
[0080] Through the above process, the present invention realizes intelligent control of the entire process from tool identification, status detection, attitude correction to error compensation, wear prediction and safety simulation.
[0081] In this embodiment, by combining RFID and visual monitoring technologies, the present invention achieves automatic identification and status verification of the tool; by using multi-camera fusion and structured light scanning, it achieves three-dimensional detection of tool posture, wear and breakage; by using time-series differential algorithms and dynamic compensation logic, it achieves self-correction of clamping deviation; and by using digital twin simulation, it achieves predictive avoidance control before tool change.
[0082] This system enables horizontal five-axis milling and turning centers to have self-identification, self-calibration, self-learning, and self-error prevention functions. It can achieve high-precision and high-reliability automatic tool changing operations in complex machining environments, significantly improving the intelligence level of the equipment and production efficiency.
