As a typical mechatronics product, it involves technologies in mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic fields. The healthy and stable operation of CNC milling machines ensures the quality and production efficiency of mechanical products. Therefore, continuous monitoring of the operating parameters of CNC milling machines and the provision of alarms in case of anomalies are crucial. Existing alarm devices cannot promptly and intuitively alert operators to CNC milling machine malfunctions, preventing early maintenance and potentially posing significant risks. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, this application provides a voice alarm device for CNC milling machines to solve the technical problem that traditional alarm devices cannot promptly and intuitively alert operators to abnormalities in CNC milling machines and remind them to perform maintenance in the early stages, which may cause significant potential risks.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a voice alarm device for CNC milling machines, comprising: a data acquisition module, a housing with wiring holes, and a control module, a relay module, a voice playback module, and a power supply module disposed within the housing;

[0005] The data acquisition module includes sensors installed in various parts of the milling machine. The output of the data acquisition module is electrically connected to the input of the control module. The relay module includes a relay and a relay drive circuit. The output of the relay drive circuit is electrically connected to the control terminal of the relay, and the input of the relay drive circuit is electrically connected to the output of the control module. The relay is installed on the power supply circuit of the spindle drive motor. The voice playback module is connected to the control module via a serial port. The power supply module is used to provide the required voltage source for the device.

[0006] Furthermore, the data acquisition module includes a temperature sensor, a vibration sensor, and a magnetic encoder. The temperature sensor is mounted on the housing of the spindle drive motor, the magnetic encoder is located at the motor bearing end cover of the drive motor, and the vibration sensor is located on the machining tool holder.

[0007] Furthermore, the control module includes a controller, a memory chip, a timing module, and a control button group. The memory chip, timing module, and control button group are all electrically connected to the controller. The control button group includes an alarm duration setting button, a temperature parameter setting button, a vibration parameter setting button, and a spindle speed setting button.

[0008] Furthermore, the relay drive circuit includes a transistor Qn, resistors Rn1 and Rn2, and a diode Dn. The base of transistor Qn is connected to one end of resistors Rn1 and Rn2. The other end of resistor Rn1 is electrically connected to the output of the controller. The other end of resistor Rn2 and the emitter of transistor Qn are grounded. The collector of transistor Qn is connected to the anode of diode Dn and one end of the relay. The cathode of diode Dn and the other end of the relay are both connected to the power supply. When the controller outputs a high level, transistor Q1 is saturated and conducts, energizing the relay coil and closing the contacts. When the controller outputs a low level, transistor Q1 is cut off, de-energizing the relay coil and opening the contacts. Transistor Q1 acts as a control switch, and resistor Rn1 primarily limits current, reducing the power consumption of transistor Q1. Resistor Rn2 ensures reliable cutoff of transistor Q1. Diode Dn provides reverse freewheeling, which provides a discharge path for the relay coil when transistor Q1 switches from conducting to turning off, and clamps its voltage at +12V.

[0009] Furthermore, the voice playback module includes a voice synthesis chip and a speaker. The input terminal of the voice synthesis chip is electrically connected to the output terminal of the controller, and the output terminal of the voice synthesis chip is electrically connected to the control terminal of the speaker.

[0010] Furthermore, the power supply module includes an EMI filter, a bridge rectifier, a voltage regulator, and a DC-DC converter. The EMI filter, bridge rectifier, voltage regulator, and DC-DC converter are electrically connected in sequence. The AC output terminal is electrically connected to the AC input terminal of the bridge rectifier through the EMI filter to filter the current. The current is then rectified by the bridge rectifier, the voltage regulator stabilizes the rectified power supply, and the DC-DC converter converts the output voltage into the required voltage value.

[0011] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0012] This application uses a data acquisition module to collect data on the spindle speed, the operating temperature of the spindle's drive motor, and the vibration parameters of the tool holder on a CNC milling machine. These data are then sent to a control module for analysis. In the event of spindle malfunction or machining abnormalities, the system promptly controls a voice playback module to provide voice alerts and issue alarm information to the operator. This ensures the safety of the machining process, reduces equipment downtime, and improves equipment utilization and production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

The device can clearly inform the operator of the specific location and type of the fault, thereby helping them quickly locate the problem and take appropriate measures. This not only reduces equipment downtime but also improves equipment utilization and production efficiency. This invention discloses a voice alarm device for CNC milling machines that can promptly issue voice alarm information to the operator, ensure the safety of the machining process, reduce equipment downtime, and thus improve equipment production efficiency. Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the voice alarm device for CNC milling machines includes: a data acquisition module, a housing with wiring holes, and a control module, a relay module, a voice playback module, and a power supply module housed within the housing.

Specifically, the data acquisition module includes sensors installed in various parts of the milling machine. The output terminal of the data acquisition module is electrically connected to the input terminal of the control module. The data acquisition module includes a temperature sensor, a vibration sensor, and a magnetic encoder. The temperature sensor is installed on the housing of the spindle drive motor and can detect the operating temperature of the spindle drive motor. Excessive temperature may cause motor failure. The magnetic encoder is located at the motor bearing end cover of the drive motor and can detect the spindle speed. When the speed deviates from the preset parameters, it will cause machining quality problems. The vibration sensor is located on the tool holder; based on the detected vibration parameters of the tool holder, it can analyze whether there is a problem with clamping looseness or part fitting. The relay module includes a relay and a relay drive circuit. The output of the relay drive circuit is electrically connected to the control terminal of the relay, and the input of the relay drive circuit is electrically connected to the output of the control module. The relay is installed in the power supply circuit of the spindle drive motor. In emergency situations, the control module can automatically control the relay module to drive the relay to cut off the drive source of the machining spindle, thereby stopping operation and ensuring operational safety. The voice playback module is connected to the control module via a serial port, and the power supply module provides the necessary voltage to the device.

[0018] In this embodiment, the control module includes a controller, a memory chip, a timing module, and a control button group. The memory chip, timing module, and control button group are all electrically connected to the controller. The memory chip stores system parameters and detection data, the timing module records alarm duration parameters, and the control button group sets alarm duration, temperature parameter thresholds, vibration parameter thresholds, and spindle speed thresholds. Specifically, the control button group includes alarm duration setting buttons, temperature parameter setting buttons, vibration parameter setting buttons, and spindle speed setting buttons.

[0019] The relay drive circuit includes a transistor Qn, resistors Rn1 and Rn2, and a diode Dn. The base of transistor Qn is connected to one end of resistors Rn1 and Rn2. The other end of resistor Rn1 is electrically connected to the output of the controller. The other end of resistor Rn2 and the emitter of transistor Qn are grounded. The collector of transistor Qn is connected to the anode of diode Dn and one end of the relay. The cathode of diode Dn and the other end of the relay are both connected to the power supply. Transistor Qn is an NPN transistor. When the controller outputs a high level, transistor Q1 is saturated and conducts, energizing the relay coil and closing the contacts. When the controller outputs a low level, transistor Q1 is cut off, de-energizing the relay coil and opening the contacts. Transistor Q1 acts as a control switch, and resistor Rn1 primarily limits current, reducing the power consumption of transistor Q1. Resistor Rn2 ensures reliable cutoff of transistor Q1. Diode Dn provides reverse freewheeling, which provides a discharge path for the relay coil when transistor Q1 switches from conducting to turning off, and clamps its voltage at +12V.

The controller is model STM32F407VGT6. When a voice alarm is triggered, the controller controls the voice synthesis chip to output a preset voice signal, which is then played through the speaker.

[0021] The power supply module includes an EMI filter, a bridge rectifier, a voltage regulator, and a DC-DC converter. The EMI filter, bridge rectifier, voltage regulator, and DC-DC converter are electrically connected in sequence. The AC output terminal is electrically connected to the AC input terminal of the bridge rectifier through the EMI filter to filter the current. The current is then rectified by the bridge rectifier. The voltage regulator stabilizes the rectified power supply and outputs it. The DC-DC converter converts the output voltage to the required voltage value. The DC-DC converter includes a 12V to 5V conversion chip and a 5V to 3.3V conversion chip.

[0022] When the device is working, the data acquisition module sends the collected spindle speed signal, the operating temperature signal of the spindle drive motor, and the vibration signal of the tool holder to the control module. When an abnormality occurs, the control module sends a signal to the voice playback module, which then plays preset alarm voice messages at preset times and frequencies, such as "Spindle speed abnormal, please pay attention." Based on the alarm message, the operator can obtain the specific location and type of the fault, quickly locate the problem, and take appropriate measures.
