Description

[0002] In the field of precision machining, small diameter tools are widely used in the engraving and milling of complex microstructure such as mold cavity, electronic parts and medical devices. However, due to the poor rigidity and low cutting edge strength of small tools, tool breakage is easily caused by cutting force fluctuation, tool eccentric vibration or improper processing parameter matching when processing high-hardness materials or complex curved surfaces. Especially in the long-time continuous processing or unmanned automatic production scene, frequent tool breakage not only significantly increases tool loss cost, but also leads to the decline of processing precision and the deterioration of workpiece surface quality, and even causes workpiece scrap, which seriously restricts the processing efficiency and economic benefit.

[0003] However, the existing monitoring means for tool breakage has obvious limitations: for the instantaneous breakage of small tools, acoustic emission detection is easily disturbed by environmental noise and has high deployment cost, or the visual solution based on image processing is limited by factors such as machining shielding and cutting fluid splashing, making it difficult to realize real-time online monitoring. This leads to the inability to alarm or stop the machine in time after tool breakage, and the machine continues to execute invalid processing programs, resulting in equipment idling, energy waste and loss of production capacity. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, a new scheme needs to be proposed. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
