Mechanical manufacturing is an important industry in today's society and a pillar industry for China's economic development, social progress, and national defense industry.The accuracy, efficiency, quality, and economy of mechanical processing are intuitive manifestations of the level of national manufacturing industry.
Since the 20th century, China has gradually become a major manufacturing country and a world OEM factory.However, there is still a significant gap in the overall level of high-end manufacturing between China and countries such as Europe and America. The gap between manufacturing powers and manufacturing powers is a challenge that we need to overcome. The reason for this dilemma is the gap in mechanical manufacturing equipment in China. With the continuous development of mechanical manufacturing equipment, the requirements for high-precision machining level and precision machining technology in mechanical processing are constantly increasing.
Cutting chatter is a mechanical vibration generated during the machining process, which can affect the accuracy and surface roughness of the workpiece,accelerate the wear of machine tools, and reduce production efficiency. During the machining process,cutting chatter is inevitable, and the tool rest ram is the weakest part of the lathe tool rest in terms of stiffness.During the production process, the larger the aspect ratio of the tool rest ram, the lower its stiffness, and the easier it is to generate cutting chatter. To reduce the impact of cutting chatter on machining, a damping damper is placed in the inner cavity of the tool rest ram, By damping the relative vibration between the shock absorber and the knife rest ram, the kinetic energy of the knife rest ram vibration is consumed, thereby achieving the effect of vibration reduction.
2.1 Structural design of damping dynamic damping ram
The damping dynamic damping ram consists of two parts: a knife rest ram and a damping system, where the damping system consists of damping fluid, damping blocks, and circular rubber rings. The damping fluid surrounds between the damping block and the annular rubber ring, providing resistance to the movement of the damping block. The damping block in the damping system is used as a "vibration core" throughout the entire ram. According to the theory of vibration absorbers, the heavier the mass block, the more obvious the damping effect. Therefore, the vibration core material is high-density hard alloy. The annular rubber ring is installed at both ends of the damping block as a support component to provide support for the damping block,ensuring that there is no contact or elastic collision between the damping block and the ram. The annular rubber ring has a high elastic modulus, and within its elastic range, the radial deformation of the annular rubber ring can provide a certain spring stiffness for the damping block, and has a certain linear relationship with the load it is subjected to. During the machining process,the ram is subjected to impact loads, resulting in cutting chatter. The internal vibration core generates forced vibration, and the damping system begins to work,absorbing the kinetic energy of the ram vibration, there by playing a role in vibration reduction.
2.2 Simplified model of damping ram
The force analysis of the original model of the ram can be divided into two types: radial force and torque.The position of the ram near the tool holder is analyzed,and the influence of torque on the model is relatively small. It is ignored here. In the process of studying the damping ram, an equivalent substitution method is used to select the center position of the damping block as the research object, and the mass of the damping block is equivalent in this regard, Equivalent the mass of the ram to a mass block acting on the point we are studying, and equivalent the spring stiffness provided by the annular rubber ring to the equivalent elastic coefficient at the research point. Establish a dynamic model of the damping ram:
ρ—Material density of the ram;
E—Elastic modulus of ram material;
L—The elongation length of the ram during operation;
K—Equivalent spring stiffness at the research point;
K1—Equivalent stiffness coefficient of annular rubber ring;
D—Dimensions of the ram interface;
C2—Damping coefficient of ram damping fluid;
M2—Mass of damping block
For the convenience of our research, we found that the motion mode of the damping ram is the same as that of the damping boring bar. Therefore, we equivalent the damping ram to an enlarged damping boring bar. Due to the complexity of the dynamic calculation of the damping ram, we use the formula in [1] to calculate it.We assume that only one impact loadacts on M1 and establish the following equation based on Newton's second law:
The first and second derivatives are:
Substitute its first and second derivatives into equation system:
Solve out B1,B2,expression
2.3 Relative displacement and frequency curve of damping ram
In the function of S about α, μ, λand ξ, using ξ as a variable, order α=0.916, order μ=0.0915.Draw the relative amplitude to frequency ratio curve of the
In the figure, we can see that the curves of curve a under different damping conditions intersect at two points b and c.Regardless of the damping value, the relative displacement to frequency ratio curve passes through H and K.Therefore, the properties of these two points are independent of the magnitude of the damping ratio.Substituting a=0 and b=∞ into function S respectively yields:
Obtain:
2.4 Solution to the optimal damping ratio
At the highest point of the H and K curves, make
Add local contact without penetration to the eight diagonal iron and the contact surface between the iron and the sliding pillow at the upper and lower ends of the tool holder, and add fixed constraints on the back. Apply tangential cutting force at the top of the sliding pillow,and conduct finite element analysis on the maximum elongation of the hollow vibration damping sliding pillow vertically, as shown in Figure 4:
In the figure, we can see that the first-order modal resonance frequency of the damping ram is f=102.06Hz
3.1 Main parameter calculation
We can calculate the natural vibration angular frequency of the damping ram through first-order modal analysis as follows:
Here we use software to calculate the masses M1 and M2 of the ram and damping block:M1=757.46 Kg M2=69.31 Kg
The mass ratio of the damping ram is:
Natural frequency ratio:
The homology frequency is:
The equivalent stiffness K of the shock absorber mirror rod is:
The stiffness K of the power absorber is:
3.2 Selection of damping fluid
The magnitude of the damping coefficient of the damping fluid depends on the viscosity of the damping fluid, which is calculated using the kinematic viscosity in reference
By searching for literature, it has been found that methyl silicone oil has good damping properties and various physical and chemical properties, which can provide a large damping coefficient. Therefore, methyl silicone oil is used
as the damping fluid for the damping ram.
We have chosen the midas NFX finite element analysis software to analyze the vibration damping ram.In the process of establishing a simulation model of the damping dynamic vibration damping ram, we should try to restore the movement of the ram under real conditions as much as possible. The work of the ram cannot be separated from the precise fit of components such as the
①The stiffness of the damping ram should not be lower than the maximum
stiffness required for actual operation;
②The damping fluid between the damping ram and the internal damping
system is replaced by linear damping;
③Except for the damping ram and its built-in damping system, all other
parts are considered rigid bodies; The overall analysis model of the damping ram is shown in the figure 5:
4.2 Finite element analysis process of vibration damping ram
4.2.1 Material of damping ram
According to the original VCT16-NC CNC vertical lathe, the material used for turning the tool holder slider is 45 steel. The damping block in the built-in damping system of the slider should be made of materials with higher mass density. Among the metal materials, tungsten has a higher mass density, and the mass density of tungsten alloy can reach 19.3g/cm³. All its properties meet the working conditions of the damping block.Therefore, tungsten based heavy alloy is chosen as the material with fast damping.
4.2.2 Add constraint
In the simplified model of the tool holder, due to the mutual contact between the damping ram and the slide seat, which is not completely in contact, 16 columns are used as the simplified model of the slide seat. In order to better analyze the damping effect of the slide seat, the simplified model of the slide seat is a rigid body and fixed, and bidirectional sliding is added between the damping ram and the slide seat.As shown in the figure 6:
4.3 Finite element analysis of damping dynamic damping sleeper
In order to visually demonstrate the vibration reduction effect of the damping ram, we used modal analysis method for transient response analysis and conducted comparative experiments between the original tool holder ram and the damping ram. An impact load was applied at the connection of the tool fixture between the original tool holder ram and the damping ram, and the damping ram vibrated after being subjected to the impact load. The vibration amplitude of the two types of rams was observed. In Figure 7, we can visually see the
vibration reduction effect of the damping damping ram.
The improvement design of the vertical lathe turning tool holder components analyzed and summarized the problems of machining accuracy and surface smoothness caused by cutting chatter in the processing equipment. A damping dynamic damping ram was designed, and the optimization design and finite element analysis of the damping dynamic damping ram were carried out to minimize the amplitude and frequency of cutting chatter generated during the machining process of the vertical lathe tool holder components.
