Description

Press device, terminal device, ball screw estimated life calculation method and program

The present invention relates to a press device, a terminal device, a ball screw estimated life calculation method, and a program.

2. Description of the Related Art A press device such as an electric press that applies a load by moving a ram up and down with respect to a work is known.
In this type of press device, the rotation of the motor is converted into linear motion to operate the ram up and down. A ball screw is an important mechanical component for realizing such up and down operation of the ram.
The ball screw is subjected to an impact by the load operation, so that the ball screw is deteriorated. In order to operate with an appropriate load, it is required to estimate the life as accurately as possible.

In response to such a demand, Patent Document 1 describes a means for storing in advance the relationship between the axial load of the ball screw and the motor current value, the basic dynamic load rating of the ball screw, and the sampling interval and time. Means for recording the amount of use of the ball screw, a coefficient of variation is measured at each sampling interval, and the rated fatigue life value calculated based on the measured value is rewritable. A ball screw life monitoring device that displays the remaining life of each ball screw is disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 1).

JP-A-5-187965

Here, in Patent Document 1, the average axial load F _m applied to the ball screw, the average rotational speed N _m of the ball _screw, on the basis of the load factor f _w is determined by the kinetic state, the estimated lifetime of the ball screw Is disclosed.

However, in general, load factor f _w is greater the larger the operation of the impact on the ball screw, the more the value is large, the estimated life time is shortened.
Further, the range of possible values of load factor _{f w} is generally 1.0 to 2.0, the standard operating _conditions, f w = 1.3, in the case of driving with shock, _{f w} = 1.8.

Here, a load _factor, the life in the case of f w = 1.8, the _{computational} becomes about 38% of the life of the case of f w = 1.3, depending determine how the load coefficient _{f w} Greatly affects the length of the estimated lifetime.
In other words, in order to prevent the ball screw from breaking earlier than expected, it is conceivable to calculate the predicted life shorter by increasing the load coefficient, but in this case, there is still room for the life of the ball screw. Despite this, the ball screw is replaced, and as a result, the ball screw and the man-hour required for the replacement may be wasted.

However, Patent Document 1, the vibration and shock "fine", "small", "medium", and divided into four "large", only load coefficient f _w are defined, above the load It cannot be said that the magnitude of the influence of the coefficient _fw on the estimated lifetime is sufficiently considered.

Further, in the technique of Patent Document 1, the estimated life time of the ball screw is obtained from the magnitude of the fluctuation of the motor current, that is, the fluctuation of the torque, but the fluctuation of the torque is more accurate than the fluctuation value of the load cell load value. In general, it is difficult to verify that the shock magnitude is clearly related to the life of the ball screw, and the verification until the ball screw actually breaks is performed in various environments and operating patterns. Since it is difficult to perform until the magnitude of the load coefficient can be clearly defined, there is a problem that the method for estimating the life time of the ball screw cannot be said to be a simple and highly accurate method.

Also, considering the load value due to acceleration / deceleration, in a realistic use situation (when extremely large acceleration does not continue to be applied), compared to the force f _m1 applied to the ball screw at the time of pressurization, the acceleration is applied to the ball screw. Such a load _fm2 is so small as to be negligible, but if no load is applied, the calculation result is _fm2 ≒ 0, resulting in a calculation result that the life is not infinite if no load is applied.

The greater the change in the differential value, which is the amount of change in the axial load value per unit time, the larger the instantaneous increase in the load is. Can be considered.
Here, the differential value d is a variation of the load value f _m according to the ball screw [N / S] is a unit of time is taken as t [S], the slope of the linear regression line shown in the equation (2) below It can be obtained by the formula.

In the above description, the calculation of the amount of change in the differential value per unit time has been exemplified. However, the position of the ram at the time when the i-th sampling is performed is defined as p _i [mm], and the unit is expressed by the following Expression 3. The change amount of the differential value per distance may be obtained.

The load coefficient adjustment unit 32 adjusts an arbitrary load coefficient of the ball screw stored in the initial load coefficient storage unit 25 based on the amount of change in the load value calculated by the differential value calculation unit 31.

Note that the load coefficient f _w, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 4, the vibration or shock, "fine", "small", "medium", divided into four "large", and a width And the load coefficient _fw was determined.
However, for example, the life of the ball screw when the load coefficient _fw is _fw = 1.8 is about 38% of the life of the ball screw when _fw = 1.3, so that the life of the ball screw becomes longer. In estimation, the effect is large.
Further, quantitative measurement technique has not been established with regard serves as an index for determining the load factor f _w "vibration / shock."
Therefore, in the present embodiment, in order to solve the above-described conventional problem, the differential value calculation unit 31 calculates the load coefficient adjustment unit 32 based on the ball screw initial load coefficient stored in the initial load coefficient storage unit 25. based on the amount of change in load value, using a load factor f _w adjusted for the initial weighting factors to estimate the life expectancy of the ball screw.

The average axial load value calculation unit 33 calculates the average axial load value based on the load values stored in the load value storage unit 26 that stores the load values detected by the circuit unit 15 as the load value detection unit. I do.

Based on the average rotation speed of the ball screw, an estimated life corresponding to the usage mode of the ball screw is calculated.
Specifically, the basic dynamic load rating C [N], the load coefficient _{f w,} the average axial load value _F m [N], the average rotational speed of the ball screw and _N m ^{[min -1],} The life rotation speed L [rev] is obtained by the equation shown in Equation 4, and the estimated life time L _h [h] is obtained by the equation shown in Equation 5. Note that the average axial load value F _m [N] is obtained from Equation 6 where the rotational speed of the ball screw sampled at a constant interval at the same timing as f _mi and the sampling number is 1 and n _mi are obtained by Equation 6, and the average rotational speed is N _m [min ⁻¹ ] is obtained by Expression 7.
The obtained estimated life time is displayed on the display unit 22.
Note that the number 4, the number 5, f _w is the basic dynamic load rating C [N] and the load factor is a constant, of which, C [N] the basic dynamic load rating is used in the press apparatus 100 It depends on the type of ball screw used, and is a numerical value published by a ball screw manufacturer in a catalog or the like.
Further, the average axial load value F _m [N] and the average rotation speed N _m [min ⁻¹ ] of the ball screw are variables, and the operating environment (workpiece) of the press device 100 during sampling (simultaneously with differential sampling). (The difference in the load and the speed due to the individual difference of W).

<Processing of press machine>
In the present embodiment performs estimation life calculation of the ball screw using a load factor f _w multiple patterns simultaneously, the load coefficient f _w in fact estimated life calculation nearest ball screw and timing in broken ball screw, when the The following describes a process of making the press device 100 learn the differential value of the above, and thereby highly accurately predicting the life of the ball screw that further matches the user's unique use environment.
Specifically, when the ball screw is not corrupted is replaced, it is determined the user has determined that the optimal replacement time, the best lifetime learning close load factor f _w.
Also, if you replace the broken got a ball screw, the most life is near, and life than broken timing to learn the load coefficient f _w becomes shorter.
In the following, a case where the learning is performed in two processes of a first stage and a second stage will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.

<First stage learning process>
The first-stage learning process in the press device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the first step, performing processing for the purpose of determining the approximate load factor f _w.

First, it is confirmed that the ball screw is replaced or the press is in the initial state (step S101). After replacement of the ball screw is performed in step S101 (or the initial state of the press), then the average axial load F _m and the average rotational speed N _m and a predetermined assumed value of the ball screw (for example, press the design of the device 100, the average rotational speed of the average axial load _{F m} and a ball screw is assumed as _{N m),} between a load factor _{f w} from 1.0 to 2.0, in increments of 0.1 The estimated life of the ball screw is calculated by the estimated life calculation unit 35 using the above equations (4) and (5) (step S102).

Next, the average axial load value F _m [N] calculated by the average axial load value calculation unit 33 and the average rotation speed N _m [min ⁻¹ ] of the ball screw are sampled (Step S103), and the differential value is calculated. The differential value d [N / S] calculated by the calculator 31 is sampled (step S104).

In step S103, the estimated life of the ball screw is calculated using the sampled average axial load value F _m [N], the average rotation speed N _m [min ⁻¹ ] of the ball screw, and the above equations (4) and (5). The calculation unit 35 recalculates the estimated life of the ball screw (step S105).

Thereafter, the user determines whether the ball screw is actually broken (step S106). If it is determined in step S106 that the ball screw is broken by the user ("YES" in step S106), the calculated estimated life time is the longest among the calculated estimated life times shorter than the actual life time. learns the load factor f _w corresponding to the time as a true value (step S108), in step S104, and calculates the time average value of the sampled differential value d (step S110), and ends the learning processing in the first stage .

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S106 that the ball screw is not broken by the user ("NO" in step S106), the ball screw is not broken but has deteriorated and needs to be replaced. The user determines whether or not it is not necessary (step S107). If the user determines that the ball screw need not be replaced ("NO" in step S107), the process returns to step S103.

When the user determines in step S107 that the ball screw needs to be replaced (“YES” in step S107), the time when the determination is made is regarded as the actual life time, and the actual life time of the ball screw is determined. learning closest load factor _{f w} as a true value (step S109), in step S104, and calculates the time average value of the sampled differential value d (step S110), and ends the learning processing in the first stage.

<Learning process of second stage>
With reference to FIG. 6, a description will be given of a second-stage learning process in the press device according to the present embodiment.
In the second stage, the load coefficient f _w learned in the first stage as the initial value, is increased accuracy finely adjusted more load coefficient f _w therefrom.

First, the user determines whether or not the environment of the ball screw has changed significantly (for example, the work W has been changed to a completely different one, etc.) as compared with the time of the first-stage learning process (step S201).
At this time, if the user determines that the environment of the ball screw has changed significantly ("YES" in step S201), the second stage is terminated and learning is restarted from the first stage.

On the other hand, when the user determines that the environment of the ball screw has not changed significantly (“NO” in step S201), the user replaces the ball screw (step S202), and at regular time intervals, the average axial direction is changed. A time average value of the load value, the average rotation speed of the ball screw, and the differential value d is obtained (step S203).
The replacement of the ball screw is performed by using a ball screw whose specifications and the like do not differ before and after the replacement.

Next, the CPU (central processing unit) 30 compares the time average value of the differential value d acquired in step S203 with the time average value of the differential value d acquired in step S110 of the first stage (step S204). ).

As a result of the comparison, the CPU (central processing unit) 30 determines that the time average of the differential value d obtained in step S203 is larger than the time average of the differential value d obtained in step S110 of the first stage. case ( "YES" in step S204), it is determined to have been subjected to high operating shock than in the first stage, by changing the load factor f _w to a value smaller than the previous load coefficient f _w (Step S206), the process proceeds to Step S207.
In the step S206, for example, to reduce by 0.1 intervals than the previous load factor _{f w} Load Factor _{f w.}

On the other hand, as a result of the comparison, the CPU (central processing unit) 30 determines that the time average value of the differential value d obtained in step S203 is smaller than the time average value of the differential value d obtained in step S110 of the first stage. If it is determined that the ( "NO" in step S204), it is determined to have been subjected to less operating shock than in the first stage, a load factor f _w to a value greater than the previous load coefficient f _w After the change (step S205), the process proceeds to step S207.
In the step S205, for example, increased at 0.1 intervals than the previous load factor _{f w} Load Factor _{f w.}

Calculating CPU (central processing unit) 30, in step S207, to operate the ball screw life expectancy calculator 35, in step S205 or step S206, using a load factor _{f w} was changed, the estimated life time of the ball screw (Step S207).

In step S208, the user determines whether or not the ball screw has been damaged earlier than the estimated life time of the ball screw calculated in step S207, and the ball screw is sooner than the estimated life time of the ball screw calculated in step S207. If it is determined that damaged the ( "YES" in step S208), CPU (central processing unit) 30, by changing the load factor _{f w} to a value greater than the previous load coefficient _{f w} (step S210) The process returns to step S202.
In the step S210, for example, increased at 0.1 intervals than the previous load factor _{f w} Load Factor _{f w.}

On the other hand, when the user determines that the ball screw is not damaged earlier than the estimated life time of the ball screw calculated in step S207 (“NO” in step S208), the ball screw is completely damaged. However, it is determined whether or not replacement is necessary due to severe deterioration (step S209). If the user determines that replacement of the ball screw is necessary (“YES” in step S209), CPU (central processing unit) 30, by changing the load factor _{f w} to a value greater than the previous load coefficient _{f w} (step S210), the process returns to step S202.

Further, when the user determines that the ball screw need not be replaced (“NO” in step S209), the CPU (central processing unit) 30 transmits the ball screw before the ball screw needs to be replaced. It is determined whether or not the estimated life time has been reached (step S211).

If the CPU (central processing unit) 30 determines that the estimated life time of the ball screw has not been reached before the ball screw needs to be replaced (“NO” in step S211), the CPU 30 executes the processing. It returns to step S203.

On the other hand, when the CPU (central processing unit) 30 determines that the estimated life time of the ball screw has been reached before the ball screw needs to be replaced (“YES” in step S211), the CPU ( central processing unit) 30 changes the weighting factor _{f w} to a value smaller than the previous load coefficient _{f w} (step S212), the process returns to step S203.
In the step S211, for example, to reduce by 0.1 intervals than the previous load factor _{f w} Load Factor _{f w.}

That is, the press device according to the present embodiment uses the load coefficient adjustment unit 32 to determine the load coefficient that has the greatest effect on the accuracy of the estimated ball screw life time calculated by the estimated ball screw life calculation unit 35 in the differential value calculation unit 31. The estimated life time of the ball screw is calculated using a value obtained by adjusting an arbitrary load coefficient of the ball screw stored in the initial load coefficient storage unit 25 based on the calculated amount of change in the load value.
From this, it becomes possible to more accurately adjust the load coefficient stored in advance using the differential value (the amount of change in the load value). Specifically, the load coefficient is increased or decreased by comparing a differential value in a certain usage method with a differential value in another usage method. According to this method, when the use of the ball screw changes, it is possible to obtain the load coefficient according to the use mode. Further, the estimated life of the ball screw according to the use mode can be calculated from the load coefficient.
Therefore, the life time of the ball screw can be easily and accurately estimated.

In addition, the press device 100 according to the present embodiment calculates the average axial load value calculated by the average axial load value calculation unit 33 and the average of the ball screw calculated by the average rotation speed calculation unit 34. It is calculated based on the rotation speed and the life time of an arbitrary ball screw.
From this, it is possible to determine a rough load coefficient by actually using an arbitrary ball screw up to the life and comparing the life expected from the axial load value and the rotation speed with the actual life. Becomes
Using the load coefficient obtained by this method, the estimated life when a ball screw having the same type and size as those used up to that time is used in a similar usage method is roughly determined.
Therefore, the life time of the ball screw can be easily and accurately estimated.

Further, in the press device 100 according to the present embodiment, the axial load value applied to the ball screw is determined by comparing the load value applied to the ball screw measured by the load cell, or the load value applied to the ball screw measured by the load cell to the press value. And the load value generated by the acceleration and deceleration of the ball screw when the ram moves up and down.
Therefore, the value of the axial load applied to the ball screw is the load value applied to the ball screw measured by the load cell, or the load value applied to the ball screw measured by the load cell and the ball screw when the press ram moves up and down. Regarding any of the sum values with the load value caused by the acceleration and deceleration of the ball screw by comparing the differential value in one use method with the differential value in another use method, and increasing or decreasing the load coefficient, Even when the usage changes, it is possible to obtain a load coefficient according to the usage mode.
Therefore, the life time of the ball screw can be easily and accurately estimated.
