From the core steps, a grooving process is divided into a plurality of times for grinding according to the cycle number, namely, the grinding track of a grinding wheel relative to a cutter when the last cutter groove is ground (grinding Nth time) is firstly calculated according to parameters such as the radius of the cutter, the core thickness difference between grinding (grinding ith time) and grinding at last time is calculated according to the cycle number and the feed amount of each cycle, the core thickness difference is used as a pull-back distance, the grinding track of the grinding wheel of the last cutter groove is translated and pulled back along the radial direction of the grinding wheel, and the grinding track of each circulating grinding wheel relative to the cutter is obtained.

In some specific embodiments, the related parameters of slotting and the setting conditions are given as follows: the scheme belongs to spiral groove motion actually, a motion model corresponding to the spiral groove motion is shown in fig. 4, a cutter needs to be fixed during concrete modeling, a grinding wheel performs spiral motion relative to the cutter and performs high-speed rotary motion around an axis of the grinding wheel, and the scheme is as follows: wherein the relative attitude of the grinding wheel in spiral motion relative to the cutter is determined by the grooving related parameters required on the design drawing of the cutter; the premise of the research of the scheme is that the grinding track of the grinding wheel relative to the bar during grooving is known, and the grinding wheel is used for describing a motion model of the grinding wheel in a fixed coordinate system { O; x, y and z, defining the center of a circle, a normal vector, a radial vector and a tangent vector of the grinding wheel, wherein the center of the circle of the grinding wheel is the center of a cross-sectional circle of the end face of the grinding wheel, the normal vector of the grinding wheel is the direction vertical to the surface of the grinding wheel, the direction far away from the width of the grinding wheel is the positive direction, the radial vector of the grinding wheel is the direction vector of the tangent point of the grinding wheel pointing to the center of the cross-sectional circle of the grinding wheel under the current width, and the vector vertical to the normal vector and; the center of the grinding wheel is denoted as wCircle, and the normal vector, radial vector and tangent vector of the grinding wheel are denoted as unit vectors NVect, RVect and TVect, respectively, as shown in fig. 4. Since the whole grooving process is determined by the circle center and the direction vector of the grinding wheel at each moment when the grinding wheel performs spiral motion relative to the cutter, the grinding track of the grinding wheel relative to the cutter can be described by the circle center and the direction vector of the grinding wheel at each moment. Since the above parts do not belong to the invention of the present application, they are not described in detail, and only the basic principle and parameters are introduced.

For example, if the grooving process shown in fig. 4 is implemented, first, the number of times of sub-cutting grinding corresponding to the grooving process for the tap to be machined is determined to be 3 and the feed amount of each grinding, the software sets the number of cycles to be 3 on the sub-cutting grinding parameter page, and sets the feed amounts of the three times of grinding to be 3mm, 2mm, and 1mm, respectively. Secondly, calculating the grinding track of the grinding wheel relative to the cutter during the processing of the last cutter groove, namely the third grinding according to the grooving parameters input by the user; then, to obtain the grinding wheel track during the first grinding and the grinding wheel track during the second grinding, according to the grinding times and the feed amount, the core thickness difference between the currently ground cutter groove and the cutter groove after the third grinding is calculated to be the pull-back distance, the distances of the first time and the second time relative to the third pull-back are respectively 3mm and 1mm, and the grinding wheel track obtained by translating the last grinding wheel track along the radial vector of the grinding wheel (the cutting point on the grinding wheel points to the center direction of the grinding wheel) by the respective pull-back distances is the grinding wheel track of the grinding wheel for the first grinding and the second grinding. In addition, the auxiliary actions such as retracting and feeding are added between two times of grinding to ensure the processing safety (since the groove cannot be directly moved from the grinding end point of the previous knife to the starting point of the next knife after slotting, the feeding and retracting needs to be set to ensure the safe withdrawal).
Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also proposes a computer-readable storage medium comprising computer instructions which, when run on a computer, cause the computer to perform the method.
Based on the design concept, the grinding track of the grinding wheel during the last grinding is represented as wheelnfo r, the flow steps in a software algorithm specifically include ①, obtaining the number of track points of the last grinding, ②, obtaining total feed amount, ③, initializing the current feed amount and the initialized retrace distance, ④, determining grinding cycle number N and the feed amount of the current cycle, ⑤, calculating the retrace distance corresponding to each grinding according to the grinding number and the feed amount, ⑥, assigning the grinding wheel motion track of the last grooving grinding to a temporary variable and judging whether the grinding wheel motion track does not belong to the first or last grinding, adding two points at the head and the tail of the grinding wheel motion track corresponding to the grinding, for adding feed and retraction positions, namely, translating the total feed amount along the grinding wheel radial direction, obtaining feed points, translating the total feed amount along the grinding wheel radial direction, obtaining retraction points, ⑦, if the grinding wheel motion track point is the last grinding track point, translating the total feed amount along the grinding wheel radial direction, and obtaining the feed points, and obtaining the total feed points of the grinding points, if the grinding wheel motion track point is the grinding wheel motion track point, the grinding wheel is the grinding wheel, the grinding wheel motion track point is the radial direction, the grinding point of the grinding wheel, the grinding wheel is used for adding the grinding point, the spiral line, the grinding point, the grinding wheel motion of the grinding wheel, and the grinding point is used for obtaining the linear motion of the grinding wheel, if the linear motion of the grinding wheel, the linear motion of.
