  • Patent number: 11333571
    Abstract: The invention provides a dynamic seal test device for cryogenic fluid medium. The dynamic seal test device includes stator unit, rotor unit, slipway, servo motor unit and sensors. The tested seal is installed inside the stator, and the thermal insulation stator and vacuum rotor together form a dynamic seal test structure. The seals and shaft sleeves can be flexibly replaced, which is beneficial to study the influence of different seal types, structure, and seal land configurations on the sealing performance. The servo motor provides power for the rotor and controls the rotation speed. The device greatly improves the thermal insulation capacity to avoid the gasification for the cryogenic fluid medium induced by the heat transfer from environment so that ensuring the stability of the test device.

  • Patent number: 11294353
    Abstract: A spindle thermal error compensation method which is insensitive to the disturbance of the cooling system is provided, belonging to the technical field of error compensation in numerical control machine tools. First, the spindle model coefficient identification test, based on multi-state speed variable, is performed; after which, based on the correlation analysis between temperature and thermal error, the temperature measurement point, significantly correlated with the axial thermal error of the spindle, is determined. Next, a spindle thermal error model is established, which is insensitive to the cooling system disturbance. In addition, the coefficients in the model are identified under constraint condition, according to the nonlinear quadratic programming algorithm. Finally, based on the OPC UA communication protocol, the compensation value, as calculated by the model, is input to the numerical control system, in order to realize the compensation of the spindle thermal error.

  • Publication number: 20210064988
    Abstract: A method for calculating the reliability of the thermal error model of a machine tool based on deep neural network (DNN) and the Monte Carlo method, which belongs to the field of the thermal error compensation of computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools. Firstly, according to the probability distribution of the thermal parameters and thermal error model, a set of data for training the DNN is generated. Next, the DNN is constructed based on the deep belief networks (DBNs) and trained with the training data. Then, a group of random sampling data is obtained according to the probability distribution of the thermal characteristic parameters of the machine tool, and the group of random sampling is taken as the input and the output is obtained by the trained depth neural network. Finally, the reliability of the thermal error model is calculated based on the Monte Carlo method.

  • Publication number: 20200311321
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for determining the real-time thermal deformation attitude of the spindle and it belongs to the technical field of error testing of the CNC machine tools. Firstly, the temperature and the displacement sensors are applied to determine the temperature of the upper and lower surfaces of the spindle box and the radial thermal error of the running spindle, respectively. Then, the thermal variation of the upper and lower surfaces of the spindle box is calculated in accordance with the radial thermal error of the spindle. Then the model for the thermal variation and the temperature of the upper and lower surfaces of the spindle box is established. Finally, the established model is employed to determine the real-time thermal deformation attitude of the spindle, according to the real-time temperatures of the upper and lower surface of the spindle box.
