1Productivity

If high-speed rotation is used for machining, then productivity is improved, but transverse vibration occurs due to imbalance reducing machining precision

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemachining speedVSAvoidmachining accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by detecting the unbalance amount of the tool holder before actual machining and pre-adjusting the correction amount based on the detected values. The correction holes are positioned and sized in advance to compensate for the unbalance, ensuring that the tool holder achieves proper balance before high-speed machining begins, thus eliminating vibrations that would otherwise reduce machining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If dynamic balance detection and correction is implemented, then machining accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the dynamic balance detection function and the correction hole machining function into a single integrated device. The detection assembly with rotating sensors measures unbalance characteristics, while the machining assembly with positioning mechanisms and drill tools corrects the unbalance by creating correction holes. This integration eliminates the need for separate detection and correction equipment, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high machining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:

3Reliability

If correction holes are machined on the tool holder, then unbalance is reduced, but the tool holder structure is modified

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by creating correction holes at specific locations on the tool holder's outer peripheral surface rather than modifying the entire structure. The correction holes are positioned based on the detected unbalance characteristics, with specific depths and orientations tailored to compensate for the identified imbalances. This localized modification approach maintains the overall structural integrity of the tool holder while achieving the desired dynamic balance improvement.

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

A rotary body dynamic balance detection and correction device, comprising a detection assembly and a machining correction assembly. The detection assembly is configured to detect the amount of unbalance of a rotary body. The machining correction assembly is configured to machine an outer peripheral face of the rotary body to form a correction hole, so that the value of the amount of unbalance of the machined rotary body does not exceed the value of a preset maximum amount of unbalance. The rotary body dynamic balance detection and correction device can effectively correct the amount of unbalance of the rotary body, reduce the degree of unbalance of the rotary body, and avoid excessive lateral vibration generated when the rotary body rotates at a high speed. A rotary body dynamic balance detection and correction method and a numerical control tool holder are also provided.
