  • Patent number: 11009857
    Abstract: An application method of the thermal error-temperature loop in the spindle of a CNC machine tool. This uses a bar and two displacement sensors to determine radial thermal errors of the spindle. Meanwhile two temperature sensors are used to determine the temperature of the upper and lower surfaces of the spindle box. Then, the thermal error-temperature loop is drawn with the temperature difference between two temperature sensors as the abscissa and the radial thermal error of the spindle as the ordinate. Finally, the loop is employed to analyze the mechanism of the radial thermal deformation of the spindle and the thermal error level is evaluated. Since the method is based on measured data, the results of the analysis are closer to the reality, compared to those from the numerical simulations.

  • Patent number: 10946459
    Abstract: A magnetorheological support method for blisk processing is disclosed. In the method, a fork structure and a soft film are used to wrap magnetorheological fluid. The magnetorheological fluid is used for flow filling under certain pressure. The bulged soft film can conduct shape matching on the surface of a blisk blade. The magnetorheological fluid can be cured through magnetic field excitation, thereby ensuring the flexible support for a weak rigid component. Electric permanent magnets are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the fork structure to construct a uniform magnetic field that can realize a global excitation of magnetorheological fluid, so that the magnetorheological fluid works in a shear mode to achieve damping force controlling by magnetic field. The solid-liquid conversion of the magnetorheological fluid is controlled by an electric permanent magnet field.

  • Patent number: 10838392
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for modeling and compensating for the spindle's radial thermal drift error in a horizontal CNC lathe, which belongs to the field of error compensation technology of CNC machine tools. Firstly, the thermal drift error of two points in the radial direction of the spindle and the corresponding temperature of the key points are tested; then the thermal inclination angle of the spindle is obtained based on the thermal tilt deformation mechanism of the spindle, and the correlation between the thermal inclination angle and the temperature difference between the left and right sides of the spindle box is analyzed. According to the positive or negative thermal drift error of the two points that have been measured and the elongation or shortening of the spindle box on the left and right sides, the thermal deformation of the spindle is then classified and the thermal drift error model under various thermal deformation attitudes is then established.
