Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of polishing machine technology, and more specifically, to a multi-axis linkage CNC multi-station polishing machine. Background Technology

[0002] As a core piece of equipment in modern precision manufacturing, the development of CNC polishing machines profoundly reflects the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry from traditional manual methods to intelligent and high-precision processes. This technology, centered on a CNC system, uses programming to control parameters such as polishing trajectory, pressure, and speed, achieving efficient surface treatment of metals, non-metals, and composite materials. In the automotive manufacturing sector, CNC polishing machines are widely used for mirror finishing of key components such as engine blocks and crankshafts, improving product performance and lifespan. In the consumer electronics industry, their polishing capabilities for complex curved surfaces such as mobile phone frames and smart wearable devices significantly improve product appearance quality and market competitiveness. With the increasing demand for micron-level surface roughness in aerospace, medical devices, and other fields, CNC polishing machines are gradually becoming an irreplaceable piece of equipment in high-precision manufacturing.

[0003] CNC polishing machine technology has entered a stage of rapid development, but some technologies still have obvious shortcomings: 1. Insufficient machining accuracy for complex curved surfaces. For example, due to the large curvature variation of optical aspherical surfaces, traditional polishing path planning is prone to mid-frequency errors, requiring manual adjustment based on experience; 2. Difficulty in balancing material surface quality. Over-cutting or residual scratches are prone to occur when polishing carbide; 3. Lagging level of intelligence. Most equipment lacks the ability to optimize process parameters in real time and lacks automatic adjustment and optimization functions during the polishing process.

[0004] For example, application number CN201620048970.3 discloses a five-axis linkage CNC multi-station polishing machine, including a frame, a Y-axis drive mechanism on the frame, a worktable on the Y-axis drive mechanism, an X-axis drive mechanism perpendicular to the Y-axis drive mechanism above it, a Z-axis drive mechanism vertically connected to the X-axis drive mechanism, and a polishing assembly on the Z-axis drive mechanism. It can be seen that this polishing machine uses a five-axis linkage method to solve the problem of low polishing accuracy of workpiece surfaces. However, its multi-station design is based on the same drive mechanism, lacking the ability to flexibly adjust the position of the fixture and workpiece. Furthermore, when the workpiece is completed and needs to be replaced for inspection, the polishing equipment needs to stop and wait, affecting processing efficiency.

[0005] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

A connecting limit block is set at the bottom of the movable clamping plate, and a fixture limit rod that cooperates with the connecting limit block is set at the bottom of the fixture base plate. Positioning grooves are set at the four corners of the fixture base plate, and several equidistant positioning posts are set on both sides of the top of the work plate. The positioning posts and positioning grooves are connected by positioning nuts.

[0014] Furthermore, in order to precisely control the movement trajectory of the polishing head in three-dimensional space and cover the complex curved surfaces of various types of workpieces, the three-axis linkage mechanism includes an X-axis moving rod set at the top of the support frame, a Y-axis moving rod set at the output end of the X-axis moving rod, a Z-axis moving rod set at the output end of the Y-axis moving rod, and a lifting mounting plate set at the output end of the Z-axis moving rod.

[0015] Furthermore, in order to dynamically adjust the polishing angle and pressure, and integrate quality monitoring and cooling lubrication functions, the C-axis polishing mechanism includes a C-axis driver set on one side of the lifting mounting plate, a mounting bracket set on one side of the C-axis driver, a polishing head set at the bottom of the mounting bracket, a monitoring sensor set on one side of the mounting bracket, and a spray head set on the other side of the mounting bracket.

[0016] Furthermore, in order to extend the life of consumables, suppress dust diffusion, and improve the surface finish of polished workpieces, a water tank is installed on one side of the bottom of the support frame, and a water pump is installed at the top of the water tank.

[0036] In one embodiment, the bearing support mechanism 5 includes a support base plate 501 disposed at the top of the base 1.

The support base plate 501 is located between the bottom of the anti-fouling cover 301 and the top of the base 1, thereby realizing multi-station synchronous bearing and positioning, and adapting to the efficient processing of workpieces of different sizes.

[0037] In one embodiment, the workpiece fixing fixture 6 includes multiple fixture base plates 601 disposed on the top of the work plate 505. A fixed clamping plate 602 is disposed on one side of the top of the fixture base plate 601, and a fixture threaded rod 603 is inserted through the other side of the top of the fixture base plate 601.

[0038] In one embodiment, the three-axis linkage mechanism 7 includes an X-axis moving rod 701 disposed at the top of the support frame 4, a Y-axis moving rod 702 disposed at the output end of the X-axis moving rod 701, a Z-axis moving rod 703 disposed at the output end of the Y-axis moving rod 702, and a lifting mounting plate 704 disposed at the output end of the Z-axis moving rod 703, thereby precisely controlling the movement trajectory of the polishing head in three-dimensional space to cover the complex curved surfaces of various types of workpieces.

[0039] In one embodiment, the C-axis polishing mechanism 8 includes a C-axis driver 801 disposed on one side of the lifting mounting plate 704, a mounting bracket 802 disposed on one side of the C-axis driver 801, a polishing head 803 disposed at the bottom of the mounting bracket 802, a monitoring sensor 804 disposed on one side of the mounting bracket 802, and a spray head 805 disposed on the other side of the mounting bracket 802, thereby dynamically adjusting the polishing angle and pressure and integrating quality monitoring and cooling lubrication functions.

[0040] It should be noted that the monitoring sensor 804 needs to integrate key components such as a laser rangefinder, an industrial camera, and a six-dimensional force sensor to achieve precise control of the polishing process through multimodal data fusion. The laser rangefinder uses a KEYENCE IL-300 high-precision sensor, which works based on the time-of-flight principle: its internal laser diode emits a 905nm pulsed laser, which is reflected by the polishing head (803) and received by a photodetector. The distance value is converted by calculating the round-trip time difference of the light pulse (resolution 0.1ns), with a measurement accuracy of ±0.01mm, and real-time monitoring of the wear of the polishing wheel and the deviation of the workpiece surface contour. For example, when the diameter of the polishing wheel decreases by 1.2mm due to wear, the system automatically triggers a Z-axis compensation of 0.6mm feed to maintain a constant linear speed.

[0041] The industrial camera uses the Basler ace 2 series (model acA2440-75um), equipped with a 5-megapixel CMOS sensor and a telecentric lens. It captures workpiece surface images through machine vision algorithms (such as template matching and edge detection from the Halcon library): Before polishing, the camera acquires the workpiece contour at a rate of 30 frames per second, generates 3D point cloud data and compares it with the CAD model, with a positioning error of ≤0.02mm; During processing, the camera, combined with a coaxial light illumination system (650nm wavelength red LED), detects surface scratches or pits in real time, with a defect recognition sensitivity of 10μm. When an abnormal area is detected, the system automatically plans a repolishing path and adjusts the polishing pressure to 1.2MPa.

[0042] The six-dimensional force sensor uses the ME System K3D120, integrating a strain gauge measurement unit. It can simultaneously detect X / Y / Z triaxial forces (range ±200N) and torque around each axis (±10Nm). The mechanical signal is converted into a voltage output (sensitivity 2mV / V) via a Wheatstone bridge. After sampling by the PLC's analog module (16-bit ADC), a Kalman filter algorithm is used to eliminate vibration noise, and the C-axis tilt angle is dynamically adjusted (accuracy 0.1°) to ensure the polishing pressure remains stable within ±3% of the set value. In addition, a temperature sensor (PT100 platinum resistance thermometer) is embedded in the polishing head spindle to monitor motor temperature rise and trigger overheat protection (threshold 70℃). A vibration sensor (MEMS accelerometer, range ±50g) acquires the equipment's vibration spectrum in real time, and FFT analysis identifies mechanical faults such as bearing wear. These sensors communicate with the PLC via an EtherCAT bus with a sampling period of 1ms, forming a closed-loop control system to ensure processing accuracy and equipment reliability.

[0043] In one embodiment, for the support frame 4, a water storage tank 16 is provided on one side of the bottom of the support frame 4, and a water pump 17 is provided at the top of the water storage tank 16. The water pump 17 is connected to the spray head 805 through a flexible pipe, thereby extending the life of consumables, inhibiting dust diffusion, and improving the surface finish of the polished workpiece.

[0044] It should be noted that the main body of control panel 9 is a Siemens S7-1215C PLC (central processing unit model 6ES7215-1AG40-0XB0), equipped with a TP1200 Comfort 12-inch touch screen (6AV2124-0JC01-0AX0), with 1GB of built-in RAM and 4GB of storage space, supporting EtherCAT, PROFINET and MODBUS-TCP communication protocols. The internal hardware expansion modules of control panel 9 include a digital input / output module (6ES7223-1BH32-0XB0, 32 I / O points), an analog input module (6ES7134-6GF00-0BA1, 4 channels ±10V / 4-20mA), and a communication module (6GK7243-1EX01-0XE0, Gigabit Ethernet). The system is linked with the following electrical equipment through these modules:

[0045] 1. Servo drive system

[0046] The Mitsubishi MR-JE-200A servo drive (drives X / Y / Z axis linear modules) has a rated power of 2kW, an encoder feedback resolution of 17bit, and receives pulse commands sent by the PLC via EtherCAT bus (pulse frequency ≤4MHz) to control the ball screw to achieve a positioning accuracy of 0.01mm.

[0047] The Panasonic A6B series servo motor (driving the A / C rotary axes), model MHMJ042G1U, has a rated torque of 1.27 N·m and a built-in multi-turn absolute encoder. It uploads angle data in real time (resolution 0.001°) via EtherCAT communication. The PLC calculates the interpolation relationship between the A / C axes and the linear axes based on the preset trajectory. For example, when machining aircraft blades, the C axis rotates at 120 rpm and the Z axis feeds at 5 m / min to form a spiral polishing path.

[0048] 2. Sensor System

[0049] The ME System K6D160 six-dimensional force sensor (range ±200N, accuracy ±0.5%FS) is installed between the polishing head 803 and the lifting mounting plate 704, and transmits the force through an analog module (channel 1). x / F y / F z The torque signal is converted into a 4-20mA signal and input to the PLC. The system dynamically adjusts the Z-axis position based on real-time pressure data. For example, when the pressure exceeds the limit (>1.5MPa), the PLC raises the Z-axis by 0.05mm within 10ms.

[0050] The KEYENCE IL-100 laser rangefinder (measurement accuracy ±0.01mm) is installed on the side of the polishing head and integrated inside the monitoring sensor 804. It sends the polishing wheel diameter data to the PLC via RS485 communication. The system automatically compensates for the feed rate based on the amount of wear (compensating for 0.5mm Z-axis displacement for every 1mm of wear).

[0051] The OMRON E3Z-T61 photoelectric sensor (detection distance 0.1-3m) is arranged on both sides of the feeding window 14. It feeds back the workpiece arrival signal through the digital module (input port X20-X23) and triggers the A-axis servo motor to start rotational machining.

[0052] 3. Control of the executing agency

[0053] The spray head 805 is controlled by an SMC VQD2121-5G solenoid valve. The PLC sends a switch signal through the digital output port Y10. The flow rate is adjusted by a 0-10V analog signal (channel 2) (corresponding to 0-5L / min). When the polishing fluid formula is switched (e.g., W3.5 diamond suspension for rough polishing and SiO2 nano polishing fluid for fine polishing), the PLC automatically matches the flow parameters.

[0054] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below.

[0055] In practical applications, innovative functions are achieved through the deep integration of parametric modeling and CNC systems. At the mechanical structure design level, parametric models are built based on CATIA or UG software, and three-dimensional assemblies are automatically generated by inputting key dimensions (such as base length, station spacing, and drive shaft stroke). For example, adjusting the spacing of the workpiece fixing fixture 6 can adapt to fixture layouts in the range of 60-110mm.

[0056] The CNC system uses a Siemens S7-1200 PLC as its core controller, integrating a five-axis linkage interpolation algorithm to achieve coordinated movement of the X / Y / Z linear axes and A / C rotary axes. The X-axis moving rod 701 is driven by a ball screw, achieving a repeatability accuracy of ±0.01mm. The C-axis driver 801 incorporates a harmonic reducer, achieving an angle control accuracy of 0.001°. The process database pre-stores 2000 parameter combinations. After the operator selects the material type (e.g., stainless steel, titanium alloy) via a touchscreen, the system automatically matches the abrasive belt grit (800#-3000#), polishing pressure (0.3-1.5MPa), and spindle speed (800-2000rpm). Scanning a code to recall a preset program skips the manual trial-and-error stage.

[0057] The compensation function is achieved through multi-sensor fusion: a six-dimensional force sensor monitors the polishing pressure in real time. When the pressure fluctuation exceeds the ±5% threshold, the PID algorithm dynamically adjusts the Z-axis rise and fall within 20ms. For example, when polishing titanium alloy workpieces, the pressure is stabilized at 0.8±0.04MPa. The camera inside the 804 monitoring sensor continuously tracks the change in the diameter of the polishing wheel. For every 1mm wear of the polishing wheel, a Z-axis compensation of 0.5mm feed is triggered. The temperature sensor collects the temperature rise data of the ball screw, and the thermal deformation compensation module calculates the offset based on the linear expansion coefficient and eliminates the positioning error through reverse motion.

[0058] The intelligent calibration system uses the camera inside the 804 monitoring sensor to capture the workpiece contour, generate three-dimensional point cloud data and compare it with the parametric model, and automatically correct the fixture positioning deviation (≤0.02mm). During the polishing process, the laser scanner detects the surface roughness online. When the Ra value of a local area exceeds the standard, the system replans the polishing path based on the genetic algorithm, reduces the feed speed of the fine polishing stage from 5m / min to 3m / min and increases the spindle speed to 1800rpm.

[0059] Multi-station collaboration achieves cycle synchronization through the MODBUS protocol. The feeding motor 15 drives the feeding threaded rod 302 to transport the workpiece to the processing position. After confirming that it is in place, the A-axis servo motor 504 rotates the workpiece according to the preset angle. The anti-fouling cover 301 and the rectangular sewage outlet 12 of the base 1 constitute a closed waste recycling system.

[0060] In summary, by utilizing the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, and through the integration of multi-axis collaborative control, modular design, and intelligent monitoring technology, efficient, high-precision, and environmentally friendly processing of complex curved surface workpieces is achieved; continuous loading and unloading and synchronous processing are supported, significantly improving production efficiency; the coordinated movement of the three-axis linkage mechanism 7 and the C-axis polishing mechanism 8 covers the three-dimensional curved surface of the workpiece without dead angles; the control panel 9 is set up to realize multi-axis trajectory planning and dynamic adjustment of process parameters, adapting to the processing needs of different materials and shapes; in addition, it takes into account waste liquid recycling and equipment maintenance convenience, reducing environmental pollution and operation and maintenance costs, thereby solving the pain points of low efficiency, poor precision, and weak adaptability of traditional polishing machines.
