Description of Invention (i) This dish is about a measuring instrument for measuring the broaching force of the spindle and its application method * especially a combination The measuring instrument and the method for measuring the spindle broaching force can be measured under the static or dynamic state of the machine tool. Spindle is one of the important components of Machine Tool such as Mi 11 ins Machine. For example, in the integrated machining machine (Machining Center »CNC>, it is used to fix various tools» and fast The rotation makes the cutting work have sufficient surface speed (Surfa-ce speed) to cut the workpiece. When the main sleeve is fixed to the tool, it is achieved by the tool clamping foree provided by the broaching mechanism. Therefore If the broaching force of the broaching mechanism is insufficient or unstable, in addition to reducing the rigidity of the shaft during cutting, it will also result in lower chip removal rates, shorter tool life and vibration (Vi -brations) and other unfavorable factors, which affect the processing efficiency and quality. Designers familiar with machine tools are well aware that the design of the broaching mechanism and the determination of the broaching force are one of the important keys in the design of the spindle. The size of the broaching force involves the spindle and Factors such as the material of the tool holder, the combination of the two, the rigidity problem and the cutting conditions. Whether the design of the mesh bead or claw type gripping mechanism, etc., the designer Various factors are different, but generally based on formulas or empirical formulas to know the approximate broaching force. However, the actual broach (clai * -Ping) result obtained by the badger after the design of the main shaft is manufactured, or the broaching machine is suspected. After a long period of operation, it is not known whether the broaching force can be maintained for a certain amount and the required broaching force and its rigidity can still be achieved. Therefore, the gauge design has a customer measurement system for profitability. It is necessary to measure the spindle broaching force of the machine tool. Another potential question is that Zhao Ze has not paid attention to it yet and added M to explore and research • namely -2 _ (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) This paper size is applicable China National Standard (CNS) Α4 specification (210Χ297mm) 5 〇1S〇87 A7 B7 5. Description of invention (2) With the continuous increase of the speed of the main shaft, the force of the main sleeve broaching force in the rotation will inevitably change, so that The broaching force is reduced during the machining process, which affects the processing quality. Therefore, the design purpose of this case is not only to expect that the large static broaching force can be measured < 1, but also to further explore the changes in dynamics and measure the rotating spindle Pull 73 force According to the research, in addition to the broaching force will change the static friction between the knife handle and the main sleeve diagonal cone, it also has several effects: 1. The broaching force will change the force of the knife handle_deflection angle (deflection angle), see Chapter C of the Proceedings of the Japanese Society of Mechanical Engineering, Sho 52-7, pages 1050 -1058. When the broaching force is reduced, the deformation angle of the handle will increase. For the BT30 tool holder, the bending angle will be doubled. 2. The broaching force will change the bending stiffness of the junction between the tool holder and the spindle »As the broaching force increases, the bending rigidity also increases. When the force of the No. 40 blade is increased from 5kN spectrum to 15kN, the bending excitation T is increased from 11N / "m to 13N /" m ° 3. The pulling force will affect the dynamic characteristics of the joint point of the handle, that is, the greater the pulling force, The higher the natural frequency (natura frequency), but the damping ratio (damping ratio) will decrease. It has been found from many documents that increasing the broaching force has a positive effect of stabilizing the machinability of the handlebars. However, the greater the broaching force, the greater the force required to hold the knife. That is, it still has a negative effect. Studies in various literatures tend to influence the changes of the broaching force on the aforementioned characteristics of the main shaft * To help the rib designer determine the optimal broaching force, but for the literature that actually discusses the broaching force changes during rotation of the broaching mechanism Very _ 3-This paper scale is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) (please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Packing-ΛMinistry of Economic Affairs ^ 0 Central Standards Bureau employee consumption cooperation 24 printing 5 Employee Consumer Cooperation System P7 Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Α7 Β7 V. Description of the invention (3) An invention that can suspend and measure spindle broaching force in static state has been seen in US Patent No. 4,856,349, which is used in the load sensor (Load When the shaft in the cell is displaced, the force generated on both sides of the load sensor is sensed by M, and the conversion is displayed as the broaching force. Another product is the shaft tension tester designed and produced by the German company UTILIS MUELLHEIM. It is characterized by modularization and digital display of measurement data. It also provides appropriate measurements for spindles with different tool handle specifications. Its shortcoming is that it only provides static broach force measurement. • The rotating spindle does not provide measurement capabilities. Whether the spindle rotation has an effect on the broach mechanism, or even the reduction of the broach force is all theirs. Neglected. The measurement of the broaching force is difficult when the measurement device is designed from the viewpoint of system design. The broaching mechanism itself is a rotating body, and its rotation speed can reach tens of thousands of revolutions per minute. * If a strain gauge is used gages) and the dynamometer to measure the broach force can only be applied to static measurement. However, during the dynamic measurement process, the measurement number will not be received externally, resulting in measurement failure. In order to achieve the purpose of dynamic measurement, in the process of the present invention, a device called slip rings was used to make the connecting parts of the rotating machine achieve the connection of the lead wire and use the brush to rotate The signal is transmitted to the same external contact. The concept has been discussed in depth, but based on the complexity of construction and use • From the consideration of manufacturing and maintenance costs, this method has been abandoned. The purpose of this case is to provide a non-contact method for measuring the broach force. 4-1 I -------------------- r # — (please read the back Note to fill out this page)

Description of the invention (4) 1 The purpose of this case is to provide a method for measuring static or dynamic broaching force. Another purpose of this case is to provide a measuring instrument that can measure the broaching force of the spindle in static or dynamic state. 5 Another purpose of this case is to provide a Dong measuring mechanism to convert the broaching force of the spindle into a displacement amount for the displacement sensor to measure and add M conversion processing. A further object of this case is to provide a measuring mechanism that will use elastic elements to standardize the displacement of the sliding sleeve in the measuring mechanism. In this case, the spindle broaching force to be tested is converted into a displacement amount according to the set constant value of the special elastic element in the measuring mechanism *, and the displacement child is sensed by a fixed displacement sensor. The displacement sensed by the displacement sensor is multiplied by the constant value set by the elastic element, and the actual broaching force value of the broaching mechanism in the spindle can be obtained after correction. Printed by the Consumers ’Cooperation Cooperative 244 of the 2FO Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) When the sliding shaft of the measuring mechanism is subjected to the force of the main sleeve broach, a sleeve-direction displacement will be generated. The broaching force and the resistance generated by the elastic element in the measuring mechanism are balanced when they stop each other. The displacement sensor is fixedly installed near the sliding sleeve of the most measured mechanism. The displacement is measured in a non-contact manner * and then converted into the value of the broaching force. Therefore * regardless of whether the measuring mechanism is drawn-in by the broaching mechanism in the spindle under test * the spindle can be measured while it is stationary or rotating. The measuring mechanism can also have an adjustment element * to adjust the resistance of the elastic element, M first set the lower limit of the measurement of the broach force value. The elastic element is influenced by the heart force during rotation *, and the adjustable constant value is used to compensate the child measurement value of the displacement sensor. 1 5-

The sensor used to measure the size , Is a non-contact position sensor, there are many commercial position sensing elements (PSD), such as Japan KEYENCE LC2320 laser displacement meter and LC2100 controller combination, is a commercialized and can be used device In the measurement process, if there is an error factor but not to excavate and overcome the axillary, it will lead to inaccurate measurement results. Among the error factors, the most important thing is the elastic element. This strong element can be used in helical springs, most Belleville springs, elastic rubber or plastic tubes, or other equivalent components are used in the combination of M. The constant value of the elastic elements of the 4th printed bag of the Economic and Industrial Security Bureau staff depends on each elasticity. The material, structure, processing status, etc. of the element will be different, but all can be obtained by referring to Figure 5 or 6 in advance. At present, the most convenient elastic part is the spiral pressure spring. The amount of deformation of the axial displacement during rotation can be obtained by the following formula: △ Y = L (Sin po — Sin pi) where L is the length of the spring spiral, Po is the spring pitch angle before rotation ,? 1 is the change in pitch angle after rotation. For a specific device implemented according to the aforementioned method, please refer to Figure 1 and include a measurement mechanism (2) and a displacement sensor (1) fixedly installed in the measurement-7 ~ This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) 1 5 10 15 After 2¾ standard Bureau of the Ponggong Consumer Industry Co., Ltd. 4 system IS δ α 7 Α7 Β7 V. Description of the invention (7 Near the sliding shaft measuring end of the measuring mechanism (1) 'M detects the displacement value of the actuating shaft. The measuring mechanism (2) is provided for the end of the main shaft (3), and is clamped by the broaching mechanism (31) in the main shaft. It mainly has a hollow body ( 21), a sliding shaft (22) and an elastic element (24). The outer edge of the first end of the body (21) is an oblique cone (211), which fits into the tapered hole of the main shaft (3). One slide The shaft (22) is slidably installed in the body (21). The sliding shaft (22) has a measuring end (221) and a clamped end (222), which are individually exposed to the two sides of the body (21) Side end; a sliding member (23) moves along the sliding shaft (22) at the waist of the sliding shaft (22). The elastic element (24) is shown in the figure to apply a helical compression The spring, held in the body (21) between the slider (23) and the interior of the body (21), is used to block the slider from moving toward the first end of the body (21). Therefore, the measured broach force is at least It must be greater than the tension of the strong element (24) to pull the sliding shaft; after the sliding shaft moves, it will stop until the broaching force is equal to the tension of the elastic element. If it is adjusted by an adjusting element (described later) The relative position between the sliding member (23) and the body (21) can adjust the tension of the elastic element (24), and preset the minimum force that the sliding shaft (22) is pulled. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the adjusting element (25) M thread is locked on the body (21) * and a nut (251) assists the locking position. The sliding member (23) slides freely in the adjusting element (25), but is locked with a thread on the sliding shaft ( 22), and also has a tightening nut 252 to position it. The sliding member (23) can be used to adjust the distance between the sliding shaft (22) and the main shaft (3) broach mechanism (31) through the thread, so that the broach mechanism (31) can surely hold the clamped end (222) of the sliding shaft (22), and can make the sliding member (23) _ Slide shaft (22) —aligned with the body (21) to adjust the components -8-(please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page),-* The paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) Α4 specification (210X297mm ) ^ 〇f- r \ vm j.〇〇d7 A7 B7 1 5 Ministry of Economic Affairs Bureau of Standards Beigong Consumer Cooperation System V. Description of invention (8) (25) Sliding freely inside. Another embodiment of FIG. 2, use A nut (26) screwed on the sliding shaft (22) serves as an adjusting element and also serves as a sliding member. Although the thread is used to adjust its relative position with the body (21), the body must be disassembled and assembled continuously The upper back cover (27) is troublesome to operate. Another embodiment of FIG. 3, like the first embodiment of FIG. 2, is that the oblique cone portion of the body (21) is constructed in an assembled manner, and this example is different from the aforementioned first embodiment of FIG. At the place, it is composed of the sliding part (23) M-slip ring and the solenoid. The elastic element (24) M is preferably a spiral compression spring as shown in the figure. Although a tension spring can also be used, it will not be able to form an ideal resistance to the sliding member. In any case, the measured broach force is equal to the resistance of the elastic element (24). In terms of compression springs, the resistance is the force of the spring against the waist contraction. The broaching force (F) can be expressed by the following formula: F = Κ. △ < 5 where K is a constant corrected by the elastic element, AS is the displacement of the sliding shaft (22), and the displacement is determined by the displacement Measured by the sensor (1), if a numerical display (U) is provided on the displacement sensor (1), it will be more convenient to immediately read the value of the broaching force. The first end of the body (21) preferably has a slope of M7: 24 to form a tapered cone (211), so as to fit with the spindle hole of a wide range of machine tools. The measurement state after the measurement mechanism (2) is fitted on the main shaft (3). Figures 4A and 4B show the M compression spring as an elastic element as an example, and its influence on the measurement displacement during rotation. -9-This paper scale is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 public) (please read the precautions on the back before filling in this amaranth) ir φ. 〇 ± 8〇d7 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (g) 1 5 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Figure 5 shows the static error of the coil spring. The theoretical value K1 can be obtained by the spring supplier, and the experimental value K2 is measured by the inventor M material testing machine. The value is always linear, and its slope is the same as the actual curve K3 after correction. From this figure, the broaching force (Ν) known in the measurement method can be directly read from the displacement sensed. The measurement mechanism of this case can obtain the measurement value of Figure 7 in the dynamic test, but after finding the potential influencing factors such as Figure 6 in this case, an error curve is provided for correction The measured value can obtain a more accurate curve value (exact curve). As Figure 7 measures the change in displacement during rotation, the result of Figure 8 is relatively displayed, that is, the broaching force will also change at the same time. * Figures 7 and 8 are the results after the experiment of the example of this case, and this is equivalent to the main shaft. The potential factors generated in the rotation have not been noticed before. The corrected actual value curve in Figure 5 is derived from the origin of the experimental value curve in the figure. The slope K3 of the actual value curve after correction is also equal to the slope K2 of the experimental value curve, but the springs of both are subjected to spring J1S The relationship of shrinkage is not the same. This is because we obtained the experimental value from the material testing machine, and we can only know the spring yellow constant K2 of the spring from its slope change. Therefore, according to Hooke's law F = K2.X, we can get the corrected actual value curve.

Invention description (10) Potential The error factor is the existence of an error curve, so it is necessary to synthesize these two curves from the ΓΗ reference positive curve. The Jtb correction curve is the change in the displacement of the measuring instrument caused by the change of the real rotating spindle broaching force. The error curve is obtained through Figure 6. In Fig. 7, the correction curve is the change of displacement on the measuring instrument caused by the change of the actual rotating spindle broaching force. Therefore, according to the principle of this design, this correction curve is the change of the spindle broaching force resulting in the spring of the measuring instrument. The displacement changes, so the displacement change is multiplied by the spring constant K3 after the spring correction, which is the curve of the broach force change in Figure 8. This result shows the change of the pull-down force of the spindle at different speeds, which achieves the purpose of dynamic measurement of the present design. This case provides a special method and mechanism to make the testing of the broaching force of the spindle more mature and convenient, and breaks through the bottleneck that could not be measured during the rotation of the spindle. In the above illustration, although some preferred embodiments are cited to illustrate the feasibility of this case, as is known, it is not appropriate for this embodiment to limit the scope of the patent application for the following cases in this case, that is, any Those who are familiar with this artist should apply the main features of this case and make some changes in details, which should still be included in the scope of this patent.
