The present invention belongs to the field of metal processing, and particularly relates to an MDOF (multi-degree-of-freedom) micro-lubrication intelligent spray head system for assisting a CNC milling machine.
A machining region is cooled and lubricated by a large amount of emulsion, cutting oil, coolant and the like in traditional machining. The cooling and lubricating mode has a low utilization rate and increases huge machining and production costs. Moreover, the scrapped coolant may cause great damage to the environment if not handled properly. Dry machining technology is an earliest green and environment-friendly machining technology, is originated from the automobile industry, has been successfully applied to machining such as turning, milling, drilling and boring, does not simply abandon cutting fluid completely, but abolishes the use of the cutting fluid on the premise of ensuring the machining accuracy of parts and the service life of cutters. However, the dry machining technology does not solve the problem of cooling of the cutting region, and causes surface burning, deterioration of surface integrity and other problems of workpieces.
Micro-lubrication technology has an inevitable trend to replace pouring emulsion and the dry machining technology, adapts to a concept of green manufacturing and sustainable development, and refers to a technology in which a trace amount of lubricating liquid, water and air with a certain pressure are mixed and atomized and then sprayed into the cutting region to play a cooling and lubricating role. The water and the high-pressure air play a cooling role, while oil plays roles of lubricating the cutting region and prolonging the service life of the cutters. At present, some progress has been made in research of the micro-lubrication technology. The design and development of micro-lubrication equipment has become an important part for realizing the micro-lubrication technology. Although many designers have designed micro-lubrication systems, many problems still exist in practical application.
The micro-lubrication equipment has been researched in depth in the prior art. A nano-particle jet micro-lubrication grinding three-phase flow supply system is designed and is characterized in that nano-fluid is conveyed to a spray nozzle through a liquid path; meanwhile, the high-pressure air enters the spray nozzle through an air path; the high-pressure air and the nano-fluid are fully mixed and atomized in a mixing chamber of the spray nozzle and enter a vortex chamber after being accelerated by an acceleration chamber, and meanwhile, compressed air enters through a vent hole of the vortex chamber, so that the three-phase flow is further rotationally mixed and accelerated and then is sprayed to a grinding region in the form of atomized droplets through an outlet of the spray nozzle.
A precise lubrication pump of a micro-lubrication system designed in the prior art is characterized in that a lubricant enters a liquid chamber from an oil inlet hole and is driven by the compressed air, when the compressed air enters the air chamber, the pressure at a tail part of a piston rod is increased; when the pressure is greater than an elastic force of a piston spring at a front end of the piston rod, the piston rod moves forward, the liquid chamber shrinks and the pressure is increased; when the pressure is greater than the elastic force of a check valve spring, a check valve plug is opened and the lubricant is pumped out; the pressure of the liquid chamber is released; when the pressure is less than the elastic force of the check valve spring, the check valve spring is reset, and an oil outlet is sealed; when the pressure of the air chamber is released, the pressure at the tail part of the piston rod is less than the elastic force of the piston spring, and the piston rod is reset. The precise lubrication pump of the micro-lubrication system has the advantages that a miniature precise pneumatic pump capable of accurately supplying oil is provided, and is precise in design and suitable for various lubricants to be used in lubrication devices for metal processing.
A continuous liquid supply type micro-lubrication device designed in the prior art is characterized in that the device comprises a peristaltic pump, an air source processor, an air-liquid joint, an air source air pipe, an input air pipe, an infusion hose, a liquid outlet hose, an air-liquid coaxial pipe, a spray nozzle and a tank body for mounting the above components; the air source processor is fixedly mounted outside the tank body; an inlet of the peristaltic pump is connected with a container for containing cutting fluid through the infusion hose, and an outlet is connected with a first inlet of the air-liquid joint through the liquid outlet hose; the inlet of the air source processor is connected with the air source air pipe, and the outlet is connected with a second inlet of the air-liquid joint through the input air pipe; the outlet of the air-liquid joint is connected with the spray nozzle through the air-liquid coaxial pipe; and the compressed air and the cutting fluid are mixed in the spray nozzle to form cutting fluid mist and are sprayed out. The continuous liquid supply type micro-lubrication device has the characteristics of compact structure, simple operation, accurate control of oil quantity, continuous supply of the cutting fluid, convenient mounting, etc.
Although the above three micro-lubrication devices replace a traditional pouring mode with a micro-lubrication mode, the connection spray nozzle structures are still traditional universal pipes. Before milling with a milling machine, people may approximately align the spray head with a milling cutter by understanding the milling processing, however, when the milling machine mills a circumference, a deep groove and other abnormal angles, the cutting fluid cannot be sprayed around a working point of the milling cutter, causing waste of the cutting fluid and surface burning of the workpieces; and continuous tracking and spraying of the cutting fluid for machining with the milling machine also cannot be realized.
In view of the above problems, the purpose of the patent of the present invention is to provide an intelligent spray head which supports continuous tracking and spraying of cutting fluid under different machining conditions of a CNC milling machine. The transverse rotation of the device is driven by a stepping motor, and the longitudinal angle adjustment and the spray head follow-up adjustment are driven by the compressed air, so as to track abnormal angles of working points of a milling cutter under various machining conditions and intelligently adjust an air-liquid ratio at different temperatures, thereby improving the cooling and lubricating effect of a machining region and the quality of a workpiece machining surface, and providing equipment support for intelligent supply of micro-lubrication.

The equation 2 shows that depth information of the point M is inversely proportional to a parallax d=μ1−μr of the cameras. It can be seen from here that when a shooting distance is increased, the parallax is reduced and the public view is broadened. When the shooting distance is reduced or even is very small, the left camera and the right camera almost have no public view.
(1) rotating an angle θi about an axis zi-1 so that the axis xi-1 and an axis xi, are in the same direction;
(2) translating a distance di about an axis zi-1 so that the axis xi-1 and the axis xi are on the same straight line;
(3) translating a distance ai about the axis xi so that a coordinate origin of the coordinate system {Qi-1} coincides with the coordinate origin of the coordinate system {Qi}; and

The connecting rod length ai is the distance between the axes of two joints, i.e., the length of a common perpendicular line between the axis zi, and the axis zi-1, and is measured along an xi-axis direction. ai is always positive; when the axes of the two joints are parallel, ai=1i, and 1i is the length of the connecting rod; when the axes of the two joints are perpendicular, ai=0.
