Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of machine tool dynamic characteristic analysis, and relates to a device and method for testing the contact characteristics of high-end machine tool mating surfaces under triaxial excitation. Background Technology

[0002] Bolted joint surfaces are generally weak points in machine tool structures. Under external loads, they exhibit complex dynamic characteristics, exhibiting both elasticity and damping, significantly impacting the overall dynamic performance of the machine. Many complex factors influence the dynamic characteristics of these joint surfaces, including the material of the joint surface, its machining method, and its assembly process.

[0003] Currently, analytical methods based on theoretical models and finite element simulations have been proposed. The idea is to study the contact stiffness and contact damping of the interface from a microscopic perspective and verify them experimentally using finite element methods. However, given the numerous factors affecting the dynamic characteristics of the interface, finite element verification often has limitations, necessitating on-site experimental research to corroborate the validity of the theoretical model.

[0004] To systematically study the influence of contact load on the contact stiffness and contact damping of bolted joint surfaces in machine tools, a complete testing device is needed. However, existing dynamic characteristic testing devices for bolted joint surfaces mainly rely on unidirectional excitation to identify normal contact stiffness and contact damping. Therefore, to obtain the contact stiffness and contact damping of bolted joint surfaces in different excitation directions and to enable users to conveniently and quickly formulate testing schemes, a high-end machine tool joint surface contact characteristic testing device and method with triaxial excitation has been developed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to design an experimental device that can measure the contact stiffness and contact damping of bolted joint surfaces from three directions, allowing users to quickly specify the sensor arrangement scheme based on the shape and size of the test specimen. This invention designs a bolted joint test specimen, adjusting the contact load on the joint surface by changing the torque of the preload bolts; measuring the contact stiffness and contact damping of the bolted joint surface in different directions by adjusting the rope passing through different lifting frames or support frames of the vibrator fixing frame; and obtaining the sensor arrangement scheme for the specimen by querying a specimen vibration mode database.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A high-end machine tool mating surface contact characteristic testing device with three-dimensional excitation includes: a base, a first support, a second support, a vibrator, a vibrator fixing frame, an impedance head, a rope, a test piece, preload bolts, support bolts, a sensor, a signal acquisition system, and a computer.

[0008] Connections between the various parts that make up the device:

[0009] The first bracket is fixed to the base by bracket bolts; the second bracket is fixed to the base by bracket bolts; the exciter is placed in the exciter fixing frame, forming the exciter assembly; the impedance head is installed on the excitation end of the exciter, forming the excitation system with the exciter assembly; the excitation system is suspended on the bracket by a rope passing through the lifting frame in the exciter assembly; the specimen is fixed to the boss of the base by pre-tightening bolts; the acceleration sensor is fixed to the specimen by glue; the output end of the acceleration sensor is connected to the computer through the signal acquisition system.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0011] (1) By changing the different lifting frames or support frames through which the rope passes through the vibrator fixing frame, the contact stiffness and contact damping during normal and tangential excitation can be measured.

[0012] (2) The computer has a built-in vibration mode database. During the test, the modal vibration mode of the test specimen is obtained by querying the shape and size of the specimen, and the sensor arrangement scheme is determined according to the vibration mode.

[0013] (3) The experimental setup is simple in structure, easy to replace, and can meet the requirements of repeatable experiments. Attached Figure Description

The first bracket 2 and the second bracket 3 are support frames for suspending the vibrator system. The first bracket 2 is fixed to the base 1 by bracket bolts 10, and the second bracket 3 is fixed to the base 1 by bracket bolts 10. The base 1 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown. Specimen 8 has bolt holes and is fixed to the boss of base 1 by pre-tightening bolts 9. The vibrator 4 is placed in the vibrator fixing frame 5, forming the vibrator assembly. The vibrator fixing frame 5 is as shown... Figure 4 As shown. Impedance head 7 is installed at the excitation end of exciter 4, forming an excitation system with the exciter assembly. Rope 6 passes through the lifting frame of exciter fixing frame 5 and can be suspended on the first support 2 or the second support 3. Rope 6 passes through the (5-1) lifting frame of exciter fixing frame 5 and can be suspended on the first support 2 for normal excitation. Rope 6 passes through the (5-2) lifting frame of exciter fixing frame 5 and can be suspended on the first support 2 for tangential excitation. By querying the mode shape database, the number and position of sensors are selected according to their mode shapes. The sensors are fixed to the specimen 8 with glue. The sensors are connected to an external signal acquisition system to transmit the vibration signal received by the mating surface to the computer.

Next, the exciter 4 was placed in the exciter fixing frame 5, and the impedance head 7 was installed at the excitation end of the exciter 4. The sensor was attached to specimen 8, and then connected to an external signal acquisition system to transmit the vibration signal received by the mating surface to a computer. During the experiment, the load on the mating surface was changed by altering the torque of the pre-tightening bolts 9. Multiple sets of experimental data were extracted, and the influence of the load on the contact stiffness and contact damping of the mechanical mating surface was determined using a modeling method for the stiffness and damping of the mechanical mating surface.
