摘 要
本課題主要是設計某機床尾座體的加工工藝及夾具的設計,在設計中采用先設計該尾座體的加工工藝在根據(jù)加工工藝來選取夾具的設計的方案和夾具的具體設計;而設計的重點是夾具的設計。由于工件的孔17和14都要以底面做為基準加工,故首先得做出底面的加工夾具。由于孔17的精度要求高,和定位尺寸誤差小,為保證孔的位置和加工準確性我們一定在加工底面的時間通過畫線找出底面的加工余量。這樣就可以更好的保證孔17的位置和加工精度!加工孔14的夾具其實就是在加工底面夾具的基礎上加了一個45度斜度板。加工孔17的時間為保證相對于A和B面的平行度我們就得要準確的設計出以A和B面定為的夾具!還考慮到工件的圓度和圓柱度的誤差小,我們設計的夾具就具有對孔17的夾具定位準確,和加工時間的震動小,那就得在孔17的附近找個定位加緊點!
關鍵詞 加工工藝,夾具,尾座體,設計

1 緒 論
機械設計制造及其夾具設計是對我們完成大學四年的學習內(nèi)容后進行的總體的系統(tǒng)的復習,融會貫通四年所學的知識,將理論與實踐相結合。在畢業(yè)前進行的一次模擬訓練,為我們即將走向自己的工作崗位打下良好的基礎。
機械加工工業(yè)規(guī)程是指導生產(chǎn)的重要的技術性文件,它直接關系到產(chǎn)品的質量、生產(chǎn)率及其加工產(chǎn)品的經(jīng)濟效益,因此工藝規(guī)程的編制的好壞是生產(chǎn)該產(chǎn)品的質量的重要保證的重要依據(jù)。在編制工藝時須保證其合理性、科學性、完善性。
夾具設計是為了保證產(chǎn)品的質量的同時提高生產(chǎn)的效率、改善工人的勞動強度、降低生產(chǎn)成本,因此在大批量生產(chǎn)中,常采用專用夾具
這次畢業(yè)設計,難免會有許多的問題,懇請各位指導教師給予幫助,希望通過這次設計能鍛煉自己的分析問題、解決問題的能力,為以后 參加工作打下良好的基礎。
2 零件分析
題目所給的零件是機床尾座體,尾座安裝在機床的右端導軌上,尾座上的套筒可以安裝頂尖,以支承較長的工件的右端(即頂持工件的中心孔)、安裝鉆頭、絞刀,進行孔加工,也可以安裝絲錐攻螺紋工具、圓析牙套螺紋工具加工內(nèi)、外螺紋。尾座可以沿尾座導軌作縱向調(diào)整移動,然后壓下尾座緊固手輪將尾座夾緊在所需位置,搖動尾座手輪可以實現(xiàn)對工件的頂緊、松開或對工件進行切削的縱向進給
2.1 零件的特點
由圖可知,該零件為不太規(guī)則的部件,其主要技術特點如下:
1.鑄件需要消除毛刺和砂粒、并作退火處理
2. 17H6要求圓度為0.003
3. 17H6要求圓柱度0.004
4. 17H6與導軌面的平行度為0.005
5. 17H6與燕尾面的平行度為0.005
6. 17H6的孔軸心線與導軌面的位置度誤差為0~0.1
7. 17H6的孔與燕尾面的位置度誤差不超過0.15
8.各面的粗糙度達到需要的要求
9. 17H6的孔需精加工、研配
10.導軌面配刮10~13點/25 25
2.2 零件工藝分析
根據(jù)零件圖可知、主要進行導軌面的加工、孔加工和表面加工、鉆孔、攻絲,孔的精度要求高。該零件年生產(chǎn)5000件屬大批量生產(chǎn),在加工是為了提高勞動效率、降低成本,設計加工零件需要設計專用夾具。
(3)定位誤差
①定位元件尺寸及公差的確定。夾具的主要定位是導軌面和燕尾,該端面與孔的垂直度有一定的要求。
②還有就是45 的夾角可能存在一定的誤差。
5 總 結
通過這次畢業(yè)設計,使我對產(chǎn)品設計過程有了進一步的認識,對結構設計有了更進一步的了解,也加深了對大學四年中所學的基礎知識的學習和理解。畢業(yè)設計是理論聯(lián)系實際的最有效方法。在具體設計過程中,必須考慮到方方面面的問題,在理論上正確無誤的設計,在實際中往往存在各種問題。這樣,在設計時就必須考慮,所設計的機構是否合理在實際運用中能否正常工作。畢業(yè)設計使我學會了從實際出發(fā)設計產(chǎn)品,而不僅僅考慮理論上的可行性。
在本次課程設計的制作過程中,我深深的體會到一個看似簡單的機構其實并不像我們想象中的那么簡單,它所要考慮的東西還很多。要完善一個產(chǎn)品首先應該對其功能作用有充分的了解,然后對實現(xiàn)這些功能的結構進行分析,考慮哪種結構能夠實現(xiàn)這種功能,哪種結構更加合理、有效、簡便。根據(jù)了解的類似結構進行仔細分析,再進行適當?shù)母倪M、創(chuàng)新,爭取用最低的成本實現(xiàn)最先進的功能。最后再根據(jù)結構設計出各個零件,應當考慮到零件的加工、材料、成本等問題。
在設計過程中,盧宗彪老師給予了我悉心指導,提出好的建議,使我獲益良多。同學之間互相研討,共同解決問題,互相幫助,互相學習,使我體會到了團隊的可貴,懂得了團隊精神的重要性。 畢業(yè)設計是我在學校的最后一次答卷,我也把它看成是我邁向社會的第一步

It is applied to machine-tool as a replacement for the traditional CNC (Computerized Numerical Controller). The system is composed of a set of microprocessor-based modules (PCs, motion controllers, I/OS, . ..) interconnected by FLP real-time network. The main idea is to enable each module to be intelligent, improving thus the flexibility and the fault tolerant capability of the whole system. Each module being a sub-control system, accomplishes its own control task, some of them for motion control and others for evaluating sensors and regulating actuators. The communication (information exchanges and synchronization) among these modules is ensured by FLP. This system allows both task distribution as well as equtpment topological distribution. We discuss some distribution criteria and describe an experimental implementation.1. IntroductionDistributed system architecture has been the subject of many research activities in recent years. It plays a major role in systems integration. In the machine-tool control domain, present CNC technology has its inherent shortcomings. It is centralized, limited to a fixed number of axis time-consuming, inflexible and difficult to be integrated in CIM environment. The rapid development of VLSI microprocessor technology and communication network enables the distributed control to be considered. Distributed control systems present the advantage of improving performance, modularity, integrity and reliability while allowing incremental expansion without complete hardware replacement. It offers a promising alternative to control system architecture.This paper is dedicated to study a distributed machine-tool architecture. It is based on intelligent devices interconnected on communication link. It is characterized by distributed tasks and distributed data, but with unique control access system. It is designed by using standard devices and FIP fieldbus and verified by a experimental implementation, in which the system controls a multi-axis machine to successfully execute a coordinated motion as well as to respond to sensors values changes.The paper is organized as follows. In section 2, the machine-tool control system architecture is described. Section 2 gives a brief description of FIP and Section 3 outlines our experimental implementation. We conclude in section 4 with some general remarks and future research perspectives.2. Machine-tool control system architectureThe machine-tool control system is a real-time and multitask system. Its classical functional architecture is shown in Fig.1. It consists of three units: user interface/supervisiou/programming unit, servo unit, and sensors/actuators unit. The main mission of this system is to control workpart machining. It includes two different and related tasks aspects: ●to ensure the precise trajectory and speed control of the mobile organs of machine-tool.●to survey the correct execution of this positioning (tracking) process, to react on environment changes as well as to perform the specified operations or actions upon machine-tool mechanics. such as tool switching, cooling, lubricating, etc. Fig. 1 Functional architectureChronologically, this mission is also divided into two steps: control program planning and control program executiug. In the first step, there is no direct action on machine-tool multitask nature: “data acquisition and preprocessing” step. While in the second step, the control is effectively executed. It is worth to note that in the second step, the parallelization is possible due to the mechanics, only the motions as well as the operations to be performed are specified. This is the “data acquisition and preprocessing” step. While in the second step, the control is effectively executed. It is worth to note that in the second step, the parallelization is possible due to themultitask nature.3.FIP fieldbusTo meet the real-time communication need in our distributed machine-tool, FIP is adopted. In this section, we briefly explain the main technical properties of FIP.FIP (Factory Instrumentation Protocol) is an industrial network designed for the exchange of information between sensors, actuators and control devices such as PLCs, CNCs or robotcontrollers. The architecture of FIP follows the so-calkd reduced OS1 model (Physical layer, Data link layer and Application layer). This architecture makes a clear distinction between real-time communication and conventional message communication. At Data Link layer, there are services associated to variable transfers on the one hand and conventional messaging services on the other hand. At Application layer, we distinguish the MPS (Manufacturing Periodic/aperiodic Specification) services which use variable transfers of Data Link layer from the MMS services which are supported by the messaging services of the Data Link layer.FlP supports two transmission media: shielded twisted pair and optical fiber. It allows for a wide variety of topologies. The maximum length of a segment is 500 m ;and at most 4 segmentsare authorized with repeaters. Three bit rates have been defined: 31.25 K.bit/s, 1 Mbit/s and 2.5 Mbit/s.FIP medium access control is centralized. All transfers are under control of the Bus Arbiter that schedules transfers to comply with timing requirements. Transfers of variables and messages may take place periodically according to system configuration or aperiodicalIy under request from any station. In our application, only variable transfer of FIP is used.For variable exchanges, FIP uses the producer-consumer model. ‘Variables are identified by a unique identifier known from the producer and the consumers. A set of produced and consumed variables can be regrouped in one station, but the identifier is not related to any physical address of stations. Fig. 2 shows the broadcast of a variable.Fig2 Principle of MAC protocol of FIPFirst, the Bus Arbiter broadcasts a frame that holds the identifier of the variable. All nodes receive the frame and check whether they are producer or consumer of the variable or not concerned. In a third step, the station that recognizes itself as the producer replies with a response frame that contains the data. In a fourth step, all the consumers of this variable capture the value and store it. The consumers and the producer are formed when the update takes place.FlP defines two types of data exchanges: periodic and aperiodic. In both cases, the exchange takes place as indicated above (Fig. 6). In the first case, the Bus Arbiter knows from the configuration that it has to request periodically the transfer of the value corresponding to an identifier. In the second case, transfer requests are signaled to the Bus Arbiter that will serve them according to the available bandwidth.For our application, the real-time constraints are very stringent. To make the machine-tool to follow an accurate trajectory, the control of the axis must be synchronized. This requires that the control nodes connected by a network should simultaneously receive the starting order, so the network should be able to broadcast orders. To ensure that an order of the same instant is received by several receivers, a spacec onsistency statue is also necessary. For responsiveness reason, some sensors like movement-limit switches should be polled periodically requiring that the network be able to transmit periodic data without important delays.In one word, for an application like distributed machine-tool, the requirements like broadcast of data , the time and space consistencies, the periodic transmission can not be met by any general-purpose networks, a real-time network like FIP is then a good solution.4. Experimental implementationAs shown in Fig. 3, our application is aiming to realize a distributed two-axis machine-tool control system. It is composed of the following devices distributed on four nodes over FIP fieldbus:node1: a microcomputer (i80486 microprocessor). It is used as operator terminal,node 2. 3: two identical nodes. Each consists of a microcomputer (i80486) equipped with a motion controller (DCX PClOO+DCX MC 100).node 4: a PLC (LT 100) with sensors/actuators for auxiliary operations.network: FIP with 1Mbits/s over twisted pair medium is chosen.The software architecture of the implemented system is based on the concept of multilayered distributed control. It has a three-level hierarchy and the distribution is realizes at the second and the third levels. It consists the following layers:Analysis layer: performs selection of the control tasksIt is mapped on to the microcomputer of node 1 which provides an user interface. It deals with the program acquisition and storage, switches the different operational modes (manual and automatic modes), computes and sends the start and arrival points coordinates as well as other orders to each other node respectively.Rule layer: determines the control algorithms for a given task.It is mapped on to the two other microcomputers (node 2 and 3) which function is elementary displacements calculation (by interpolation) according to the given parameters and orders ( trajectory type, speed, acceleration,. etc.).One of the software design difficulties is the interpolation algorithms for each axis. Because after axis control distribution, the calculation of the intermediate coordinates of each axis becomes independent, the coherence of these axis should be ensured by correct algorithm design.Process layer: executes the control.It includes the two motion controllers and the PLC. These devices executes servo systemmotion control, handles the workpart holding/tightening, tools switch tasks and monitors system safety by evaluation of sensors and regulation of actuators.In order to verify if the proposed architecture is suitable with time constraints and network capacity, in is necessary to estimate the expected traffic.There are mainly two natures of information exchanges:●orders from central decision station (node 1) to other stations.●state information produced by the stations ( node1) to other stations.For example concerning our experimental platform, we have delined some variables distributed as following: Fig3 Hardware implementation5. Conclusionln this paper, we investigated a distributed machine-tool architecture in order to meet CIM requirements. Our research reached the step of validation through the realization of anexperimental implementation. We currently work on the simulation and performance analysis of the operating architecture to justify that the implementation meets real-time constraints. Our objectiveis not only an experimental prototype, but also the development of the theoretical methodology for the design, optimization of this distributed system.
