Description

Grinding process control system applicable to grinding machine

Technical Field

The present invention relates to computer program products, and more particularly to a grinding process control system for a grinding machine.

Background

SmartCam is a computer program product applied to milling machine machining, and some grinding manufacturers also use SmartCam software to grind parts with simple profile in order to save software cost, but cannot grind parts with complex profile, especially when the section is changed or special.

In addition, some polishing manufacturers use special parts to polish by means of a master, but usually have to make many special master parts, so the manufacturing cost is high, the manufacturing time of the master parts is long, and the grinding precision is not comparable to that of special software, and is not easy to control.

Some grinder manufacturers write grinding modules with built-in specific simple profile in controller Macro syntax for users to directly operate, but when the profile other than the built-in grinding module needs to be ground, the users cannot build the grinding module by themselves, and the grinder manufacturers must be entrusted to assist in addition, so that the construction cost is increased, the communication and construction time are consumed, and the grinding modules are lack of timeliness, convenience and flexibility compared with dedicated software. Meanwhile, if a user develops a part with a special profile or section shape by himself, the grinding technique or procedure of the part must be exposed to the manufacturer of the grinding machine, and the confidentiality cannot be maintained.

Although there are computer program products dedicated for grinding machines in the market, it is still the same that several grinding modules with different cross-sectional shapes and styles are built in for users to choose, so users cannot build grinding modules with other cross-sectional shapes and styles according to their own needs, and the software developer must be entrusted to assist the new addition, and there are various problems similar to those encountered by the grinding machine manufacturer with built-in grinding modules in the controller Macro syntax.

Detailed Description

As shown in fig. 1, the present invention provides a grinding process control system applicable to a grinding machine, wherein the grindingprocess control system 1, after being executed by acomputer 2, can generate a grinding program 3(NC Code) for a grinding machine 4, the grinding program 3 being generated by a controller of different syntax on the grinding machine 4, so that the grinding machine 4 can grind the contour of a part by at least one grinding wheel thereof; the grindingprocess control system 1 comprises amachine parameter module 10, agrinding wheel module 20, aprofile module 30, a grindingprocess module 40, a grinding 7program generation module 50, a 3D grindingmachine construction module 60 and a3D simulation module 70; wherein:

themachine parameter module 10 is used for inputting various parameters of the grinding machine, wherein the parameters at least comprise positive and negative limits of each shaft of the grinding machine, a program processing origin and a part offset.

Thegrinding wheel module 20 is used for inputting various parameters of the grinding wheel, wherein the parameters at least comprise diameter, thickness, angle, axial position, rotating speed and forward and reverse rotation.

Theoutline module 30 draws the outline of the material, the outline of the part to be ground and the size of the part to be ground according to the point coordinates, generates at least two nodes on the line segment after the outline is drawn, and also establishes at least one section shape and the size of the required section shape according to the point coordinates, and a user can select the established section shape and the size of the section shape at each node so as to display the section shape and the size corresponding to each node.

For example, a user can first draw a contour 100 of a material to be ground by using point coordinates, as shown in fig. 2, a circular rod 101 with substantially the same diameter can be used as a material to be ground, as shown in fig. 3, and grind a part 102 by using the circular rod 101, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, at this time, the user can further draw a contour 103 and its size to be ground of the portion 31 to be ground by using the contour module 30, as shown in fig. 6(a), it is clear that the contour 103 can generate three nodes on its line segment after completing the drawing, including a first node S1, a second node S2 and a third node S3, the first node S1 is substantially a center point t1 of the outer side end surface P of the portion 31 to be ground of fig. 5, the second node S2 is substantially a point t2 of the radial outer edge at the end surface P of the portion 31 to be ground of fig. 5, which is a point in this embodiment located at the vertical height, the third node S3 is substantially a point t3 of the radial outer edge of the portion to be polished 31 of fig. 5 on the other side with respect to the end face P, and is also a point at the vertical height in the present embodiment. It is emphasized that the portion to be polished 31 may essentially consist ofseveral profile profiles 103, and that eachprofile 103 may be assigned a profile number.

After the user finishes drawing the material contour, the outline contour to be ground and the size of the outline contour, the part to be ground is ground to form at least one required section shape and size according to the point coordinates, in the embodiment, the part to be ground 31 has two section parts which are respectively positioned at the second node S2 and the third node S3, and the section shapes of the section parts are different, so that the user can finish the section shapes and sizes corresponding to the second node S2 and the third node S3 by two steps; in the first step, the cross-sectional shapes of the second node S2 and the third node S3 are first established, that is, the two cross-sectional shapes of the cross-sectional number 1 and the cross-sectional number 2 shown in fig. 7 are respectively, and in the second step, the cross-sectional number corresponding to each node is clicked in fig. 6(b), in this embodiment, the cross-sectional number corresponding to the second node S2 is 1, so that when the user clicks the cross-sectional number 1, the cross-sectional shape as the left side of fig. 6(c) is displayed immediately, and similarly, the cross-sectional number corresponding to the third node S3 is 2, so that when the user clicks the cross-sectional number 2, the cross-sectional shape as the right side of fig. 6(c) is displayed immediately, and thus, the drawing operation of the cross-sectional shapes and the sizes corresponding to at least two nodes in the outline is completed. In other words, if the cross-sectional shapes of the second node S2 and the third node S3 are the same, the user only needs to establish a cross-sectional shape and its size and assign a cross-sectional number.

The grindingprocess module 40 provides a plurality of grinding categories for a user to set a grinding sequence and engineering parameters of each grinding category for forming the contour and the cross-sectional shape drawn by thecontour module 30, wherein the grinding categories include step grinding, material removal grinding, spiral grinding and stepped grinding. It should be noted that, when setting the grinding sequence, each grinding category can be used once or more, and each grinding category belongs to one grinding process, and is assigned with one process number.

For example, when a user wants to grind thepart 104 shown in fig. 8(a) and (b), the step grinding, the material removing grinding, the spiral grinding and the stepped grinding can be sequentially performed. Specifically, theround bar material 200 in fig. 9(a) can be ground into the profile and size of the roughblank part 201 in fig. 9(b) by the step grinding, during grinding, thematerial 200 is clamped on the collet chuck and driven by the transmission shaft to rotate, after the grinding wheel is fed (fed) to a predetermined size along the radial direction of thematerial 200, and then is moved to a predetermined size along the axial direction of the X axis, the step grinding can be completed, and the grinding mode is similar to the processing mode of a traditional lathe.

After that, the outline and size of the roughblank part 202 as shown in fig. 10(d) are finished by material-removing grinding, and it should be noted that, since the cross section of the roughblank part 202 after grinding is an ellipse in this embodiment, in order to improve the grinding efficiency, most of the thickness of the meat must be removed first on both sides of the minor axis of the ellipse, as shown in fig. 10(a), and then ground for one circle according to the cross-sectional outline shape, as shown in fig. 10(b), only a small amount of the material to be ground is reserved for fine grinding, which is the main grinding characteristic of the material-removing grinding.

To be more specific, during the grinding, the transmission shaft of the step grinding must be switched to the servo shaft to servo-position the roughblank part 201, the grinding wheel is fed (fed) to a predetermined size along the radial direction of the roughblank part 201 to remove most of the thickness (first material removal), such as the roughblank part 203 shown in fig. 10(a), and ground once and then moved back according to the profile shape of the cross section, such as the roughblank part 204 shown in fig. 10(b), and the above actions are repeated according to the number of times of transverse movement set by the user, so that the roughblank part 205 shown in fig. 10(c) and the roughblank part 202 shown in fig. 10(d) can be ground in sequence by setting only one transverse movement, and the material removal grinding is completed.

Next, the roughblank part 202 is ground by using spiral grinding to form the profile and size of the roughblank part 206 shown in fig. 11(c), in the grinding, the grinding wheel is fed (fed) to a predetermined size along the radial direction of the roughblank part 202, and is rotated by a servo to grind one circle according to the profile shape of the cross section to form the profile of the roughblank part 207 shown in fig. 11(a), the grinding wheel is laterally displaced according to the set number of spiral turns, and is ground in a spiral manner according to the profile shape of the cross section to form the roughblank part 208 shown in fig. 11(b), and finally, one circle is ground according to the profile shape of the cross section to form the profile and size of the roughblank part 206 shown in fig. 11(c), thereby completing the spiral grinding.

Then, therough part 206 is ground into the circular arc angle R by using the step grinding to form the outline and the size of thepart 104 as shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 8, the grinding wheel is first fed (plunged) radially along thegreen part 206 to a set size, grinding one turn according to the profile shape of the cross section by servo rotation to form the profile of therough part 209 as shown in FIG. 12, grinding by stepwise feed with the servo rotation in sequence using a grinding wheel, the radius R can be ground, it should be emphasized that the grinding process of the radius R is substantially from the circular contour at the position P1 to the elliptical contour at the position P2 by stepwise gradual grinding, in other words, the contour shape ground every turn between the positions P1 and P2, it has a more circular profile closer to position P1 and an elliptical profile closer to position P2.

The grindingprogram generating module 50 can generate a grinding path according to each parameter inputted or set by themachine parameter module 10, thegrinding wheel module 20, theoutline module 30 and the grindingprocess module 40, and then generate the grinding program 3 according to different grammars of the controller, and the grinding program 3 can be transmitted in a file manner.

The 3Dmill building module 60 builds avirtual 3D mill 300 based on the physical dimensions of the mill, as shown in fig. 13, and it is specifically noted that thevirtual 3D mill 300 is typically built into the millprocess control system 1 by the millprocess control system 1 builder based on the physical dimensions of the mill.

The3D simulation module 70 is configured to simulate a grinding path on the virtual3D grinding machine 300 constructed by the 3D grindingmachine construction module 60 according to parameters input or set by themachine parameter module 10, thegrinding wheel module 20, and theoutline module 30, and the grinding program 3 generated by the grindingprogram generation module 50, so as to determine whether the outline, the cross-sectional shape, and the size of the ground outline are correct, and simultaneously, to inspect whether a collision phenomenon occurs during the grinding process.

Theframe 402 shows the polishing process and the final polishing result of the material 200 in the simulation state, and the user can view the polishing process at different viewing angles or arbitrarily rotate the material; during the grinding process, once the grinding wheel collides with the mechanical parts or the object to be ground, a collision message is generated, for example, the grinding wheel and the object to be ground can be displayed in red for warning in thescreen 401, and a collision message frame is displayed for the user to inspect the collision situation.

Theframe 403 shows the polishing program generated by the polishingprogram generation module 50, and it should be particularly emphasized that the polishing program is synchronized with the polishing process in theframe 402, for example, when the polishing program is executed in any row of programs, the polishing action corresponding to the row of instructions is synchronously displayed in theframe 402.

Thescreen 404 displays the coordinates of each axis, the polishing rate, and the control commands corresponding to any row of programs in thescreen 403 synchronously.
