The invention discloses a whole
machine static stiffness matching and designing method in view of
machine tool top-down design. The method comprises steps: static stiffness of each part of the
machine tool in a difference place is defined; a static stiffness model for the whole machine is built;
force analysis is carried out on each part of the
machine tool, a force condition of each part is obtained, and normal forces and tangential forces of the
machine tool body, a vertical column and a slide
carriage are obtained through analysis; a function relation between deformation of each part of the
machine tool and static stiffness of each part of the machine tool is built; the static stiffness model for the whole machine is built; and on the basis of the static stiffness model for the whole machine, static stiffness matching and designing are carried out. In the machine tool concept
design stage, the whole machine static stiffness given by a user serves as a target, machine tool static
stiffness design is carried out in a top-down mode, and in the condition in which static stiffness in three directions at the
tail end of the whole machine tool is given, reasonable static stiffness for each part is obtained through matching and designing. The static stiffness of the machine tool can be estimated and controlled at the beginning of the design, the efficiency and the accuracy of design are improved, the
processing precision of the machine tool is improved, product
performance estimation can also be carried out, and the production cost and the manufacturing cost are reduced.
