Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of machine tool tool and state intelligent monitoring equipment, and particularly relates to a tool wear self-aware tool holder based on multi-source triboelectric signals and a monitoring method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of mechanical manufacturing towards intelligentization and digitization, the machining process state perception and intelligent monitoring of numerical control machine tools are key links. Among them, the tool, as the executive component directly involved in cutting, its wear state directly affects the quality, precision and surface integrity of the machined workpiece, and is also the core basis for predicting tool life, optimizing machining parameters and ensuring production safety. Real-time and accurate monitoring of tool wear state is of great significance for improving intelligent manufacturing level and reducing production cost.

[0003] At present, tool wear monitoring methods mainly include direct method and indirect method. The direct method (such as optical microscope measurement) needs to stop detection and cannot realize online monitoring. The indirect method is realized by monitoring physical signals related to wear, mainly including vibration signals, acoustic emission signals, spindle current signals, etc. The traditional method is to install external sensors such as accelerometers and acoustic emission sensors on the machine tool or workpiece, which has the problems of complex wiring, easy to be disturbed by the machining environment, limited installation position leading to signal attenuation, etc. In addition, these external sensors usually need external power supply, and their power consumption and volume limit their integration and application on high-speed rotating tool holders.

[0004] In recent years, the friction nanogenerator technology provides a new solution for the development of self-driven sensors. This technology can directly convert mechanical motion (such as vibration and rotation speed) into electrical signals, thereby realizing the perception of mechanical state, and has self-power supply capability, which is expected to solve the bottleneck of power supply and integration of traditional sensors. At present, some researches have applied friction nanogenerators to monitor the vibration or rotation speed of machine tools, but the functions are mostly limited to single parameter monitoring of the running state of machine tools (such as whether it is machining, high or low rotation speed), and have not yet been able to deeply mine and integrate the deep feature information contained in these self-generated signals related to the progressive wear process of tools.

[0005] In summary, there is a lack of a solution in the prior art that can be deeply integrated with the tool holder, does not need external power supply, and can intelligently diagnose the tool wear state through multi-source information fusion. Therefore, the present application provides a tool wear self-aware tool holder based on multi-source triboelectric signals and a tool wear monitoring method. The tool holder realizes online real-time monitoring and intelligent diagnosis of tool wear state by real-time perception and fusion of multi-source triboelectric signals such as machine tool spindle rotation state and cutting vibration.

[0124] Embodiment 2:

[0125] Please refer to the attached Figure 8 The monitoring method of the tool holder based on the multi-source triboelectric signal (use method) includes the following steps:

[0126] Step S1: signal synchronous acquisition and self-power supply:

[0127] In the process of machine tool machining, the tool holder body 101 rotates; the friction layer mounting ring 202 of the rotating speed monitoring assembly 2 rotates accordingly, causing the first friction layer 204 to periodically contact and separate from the first electrode layer 203, generating a first electric signal (electric pulse signal, rotating speed signal) strictly corresponding to the rotating speed;

[0128] At the same time, the machining vibration of the tool 107 forces the suspended magnet 303 in the vibration monitoring assembly 3 to axially vibrate relative to the first shell 302, causing the second friction layer 306 to move relative to the second electrode layer 307, generating a second electric signal (vibration signal) reflecting the vibration intensity and frequency;

[0129] The two friction power generation processes simultaneously provide energy for the system, and the generated alternating current is converted into direct current by the rectifier circuit and stored in the energy storage unit to power the entire signal processing and transmission module 4.

[0130] Step S2: signal preprocessing and feature extraction:

[0131] The pulse trigger circuit of the signal processing unit captures the original electric signals of the rotating speed and vibration;

[0132] Subsequently, the signal feature extraction unit (which can be integrated into the microprocessor of the pulse trigger circuit or a separate processing chip) pre-processes (such as filtering, noise reduction) and extracts features from the original signals;

[0133] Extract the "rotating speed fluctuation rate" feature from the rotating speed signal: under the constant spindle set rotating speed, calculate the standard deviation or coefficient of variation of the actual pulse frequency; tool wear intensifies will cause the cutting force to be unstable, thus causing the spindle load to change slightly, which is reflected in the increase of the rotating speed signal fluctuation;

[0134] Extract multi-dimensional features from the vibration signal: time domain features, such as the root mean square value (RMS) of the vibration signal, which reflects the overall energy of the vibration and increases with the intensification of wear; frequency domain features, perform fast Fourier transform (FFT) on the vibration signal and extract the energy proportion of a specific frequency band (for example, the high frequency band of 1-3 kHz); tool wear will change the cutting dynamics, causing the vibration energy to be redistributed in the frequency domain, and the energy of a specific high frequency band will significantly increase.

[0135] Step S3: feature fusion and intelligent diagnosis:

[0136] Input the "rotating speed fluctuation rate", "vibration RMS value", "high frequency band energy proportion" and other feature parameters extracted in step S2 into the pre-trained tool wear diagnosis model; the model can be a classification model such as support vector machine (SVM), decision tree or lightweight neural network trained based on a large amount of historical data;

[0137] The model outputs a classification result of the current tool wear state, for example, "Normal", "Slight Wear", "Severe Wear" or "Breakage", by analyzing the fused features.

[0138] Step S4: wireless transmission of state information and early warning

[0139] The diagnosis result (e.g. "Severe Wear") and the original feature data can be sent to the upper computer, the industrial cloud platform or the on-site display through the wireless transmission module. When the diagnosis result is "Severe Wear" or "Breakage", the system triggers an audible and light alarm or sends a request for shutdown / tool change to the numerical control system, thereby achieving active early warning and intervention.

[0140] The above process realizes a closed loop from mechanical signal acquisition, energy self-sufficiency, to intelligent diagnosis and wireless transmission, and completes real-time, online and self-driven monitoring of the tool wear state, thereby providing key technical support for predictive maintenance in the intelligent manufacturing process.
