Description
- The present invention relates to a crank press and a control method thereof, more particularly to a crank press with a dual protection mechanism and a control method thereof.
- Referring to
Figure 1 , aconventional punch device 900, which is provided with a hydraulic overload protector, of a press machine is illustrated. Thepunch device 900 includes aslider 90, ahydraulic tank 91 disposed in theslider 90, acover block 92 disposed at a lateral wall of theslider 90, ahydraulic pump 93 disposed on thecover block 92, and anoverload controller 94. Theslider 90 is formed with anopening 901 which communicates fluidly with thehydraulic tank 91. Thecover block 92 is disposed to cover theopening 901, and ahydraulic outlet 921 is formed through thecover block 92 and communicates fluidly with theopening 901. Thehydraulic pump 93 pumps hydraulic oil out of thehydraulic tank 91 and sends the hydraulic oil into ahydraulic cylinder 95 which is located above thehydraulic tank 91 via thehydraulic outlet 921. Theoverload controller 94 detects pressure in thehydraulic cylinder 95. - When the
punch device 900 punches a workpiece (not shown) and receives a reaction force therefrom, the hydraulic oil in thehydraulic cylinder 95 is compressed so that pressure of the hydraulic oil is changed. At this moment, when theoverload controller 94 detects that the pressure in thehydraulic cylinder 95 exceeds a predetermined pressure, theoverload controller 94 controls thehydraulic pump 93 to stop pumping and sending the hydraulic oil to thehydraulic cylinder 95, or to release the hydraulic oil from thehydraulic cylinder 95 so as to prevent an excessive pressure in thepunch device 900. On the other hand, a control system of the press machine may drive a clutch to disengage a power connection between thepunch device 900 and a servo motor of the press machine, or may activate a brake for achieving an effect of overload protection. - However, the control mechanism of the conventional hydraulic overload protector has the following drawbacks.
- 1. Oil pressure change is unstable such that the control mechanism may not be implemented with ease.
- 2. The
punch device 900 is protected passively only when overload happens, and may not be protected actively. - Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a crank press which may be controlled precisely and which is provided with a dual protection mechanism, and a control method thereof.
- According to a first aspect of the present invention, a crank press comprises a machine body, a slider, a motor driver, a servo motor which is coupled to the slider and which is coupled to and driven by the motor driver to bring about movement of the slider with respect to the machine body, a command generator for generating a position command which is associated with control of the motor driver, an encoder, a strain detector module, a memory, and a controller.
- The encoder measures an angle value associated with operation of the servo motor. The strain detector module includes a strain detector unit and a strain control unit. The strain detector module detects deformation of the machine body during movement of the slider within a pressing operation and generates a strain value corresponding to the deformation detected thereby. The strain control unit receives the strain value from the strain detector unit and converts the strain value into a converted load value. The memory stores at least one relation between an angle value and each of an upper torsion limit and an upper load limit corresponding thereto.
- The controller includes a torsion control unit and a load control unit. The torsion control unit receives the position command from the command generator and the angle value measured by the encoder, calculates a torque command value based on the position command, reads from the memory the upper torsion limit corresponding to the angle value received thereby, determines whether the torque command value exceeds the upper torsion limit, outputs the torque command value to the motor driver for driving the servo motor according to the torque command value when the torque command value does not exceed the upper torsion limit, and outputs the upper torsion limit to the motor driver for driving the servo motor according to the upper torsion limit when the torque command value exceeds the upper torsion limit.
- The load control unit receives the converted load value from the strain control unit and the angle value measured by the encoder, reads from the memory the upper load limit corresponding to the angle value received thereby, determines whether the converted load value exceeds the upper load limit, and controls the motor driver to stop driving the servo motor when the converted load value exceeds the upper load limit.
- According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a control method for a crank press that includes a machine body, a slider, a motor driver, a servo motor which is coupled to the slider and which is coupled to and driven by the motor driver to bring about movement of the slider with respect to the machine body, and a command generator for generating a position command which is associated with control of the motor driver. The control method comprises the steps of:
- a) storing in a memory at least one relation between an angle value and each of an upper torsion limit and an upper load limit corresponding thereto;
- b) measuring an angle value associated with operation of the servo motor;
- c) generating a strain value corresponding to deformation of the machine body during movement of the slider within a pressing operation, and converting the strain value into a converted load value;
- d) calculating a torque command value based on the position command, reading from the memory the upper torsion limit corresponding to the angle value measured in step b), determining whether the torque command value exceeds the upper torsion limit, outputting the torque command value to the motor driver for driving the servo motor according to the torque command value when the torque command value does not exceed the upper torsion limit, and outputting the upper torsion limit to the motor driver for driving the servo motor according to the upper torsion limit when the torque command value exceeds the upper torsion limit; and
- e) reading from the memory the upper load limit corresponding to the angle value measured in step b), determining whether the converted load value exceeds the upper load limit, and controlling the motor driver to stop driving the servo motor when the converted load value exceeds the upper load limit.
- Preferably, step e) further includes generating an alarm when the converted load value exceeds the upper load limit.
- By virtue of storing the at least one relation between the angle value and each of the upper torsion limit and the upper load limit corresponding thereto, the crank press with a dual protection mechanism and the control method thereof according to the present invention may have a torque feedback control function so as to implement a first overload protection mechanism. Moreover, by means of the strain detector module detecting the deformation of the machine body during movement of the slider within a pressing operation, the crank press and the control method thereof may implement a second overload protection mechanism.
- Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which:
-
Figure 1 illustrates a conventional punch device provided with a hydraulic overload protector; -
Figure 2 illustrates a preferred embodiment of a crank press of the present invention; and -
Figure 3 illustrates a flow chart of a preferred embodiment of a control method of the crank press, and a lookup table of the crank press. - Referring to
Figure 2 , a preferred embodiment of acrank press 100 with a dual protection mechanism according to the present invention comprises amachine body 11, aslider 12, acontroller 13, amotor driver 141, aservo motor 142 which is coupled to theslider 12 and which is coupled to and driven by themotor driver 141, acommand generator 17, anencoder 143, astrain detector module 15, and amemory 16. Thecommand generator 17 generates, based on a predetermined program or a user operation, a position command which is associated with control of themotor driver 141, and transmits the position command to thecontroller 13. Thecontroller 13 controls, based on the position command, themotor driver 141 to drive theservo motor 142 to bring about movement of theslider 12 with respect to themachine body 11 via a crankshaft and a connecting rod (not shown). - The
controller 13 includes atorsion control unit 131 and aload control unit 132. Detailed operations thereof will be described in the following paragraphs. Thememory 16 stores at least one relation between an angle value and each of an upper torsion limit and an upper load limit corresponding thereto. In this embodiment, the relation is stored in a form of a table such as a lookup table 161 shown inFigure 3 . The lookup table 161 stores predetermined angle values, upper torsion limits, and upper load limits. - The
encoder 143 detects a rotational position of theservo motor 142, i.e., measures an angle value associated with operation of theservo motor 142, and provides the angle value measured thereby to thecontroller 13. Thestrain detector module 15 obtains a converted load value associated with a pressing operation of theslider 12. The pressing operation is implemented by means of the movement of theslider 12 with respect to themachine body 11. Specifically, thestrain detector module 15 includes astrain detector unit 151 and astrain control unit 152. Thestrain detector unit 151 detects deformation of themachine body 11 during movement of theslider 12 within the pressing operation and generates a strain value corresponding to the deformation detected thereby. Specifically, theslider 12 is provided with a mold, and a workpiece is disposed on themachine body 11 corresponding to the mold. When the mold is bought by theslider 12 to press the workpiece, the workpiece simultaneously presses themachine body 11 and a reaction force is applied to themachine body 11 via the slider 12 (see the arrows depicted inFigure 2 ) so as to result in the elastic deformation of themachine body 11. It is noted that, referring toFigure 2 , thestrain detector unit 151 is disposed on lateral walls of themachine body 11 which in general have a substantially higher degree of instantaneous elastic deformation. - The
strain control unit 152 receives the strain value from thestrain detector unit 151 and converts the strain value into a converted load value. Specifically, the strain value and the converted load value have a substantially linear relationship therebetween, and a linear equation may be derived based on the linear relationship. Therefore, thestrain control unit 152 converts the strain value into the converted load value according to the linear equation. - Preferably, the
strain detector unit 151 is a strain gauge, and thestrain control unit 152 is a tonnage monitor, such as that available from Murata Machinery, LTD, and variations thereof. - Referring to
Figure 3 , in combination withFigure 2 , a preferred embodiment of a control method of the crank press according to the present invention is illustrated. Thetorsion control unit 131 of thecontroller 13 performs steps 301-308, i.e., a first overload protection mechanism, and theload control unit 132 of thecontroller 13 performs steps 401-405, i.e., a second overload protection mechanism. - The first overload protection mechanism is illustrated hereinafter.
- In
step 301, thetorsion control unit 131 receives the angle value measured by theencoder 143. Instep 302, thetorsion control unit 131 receives the position command from thecommand generator 17. Insteps torsion control unit 131 substitutes the position command and the angle value into a closed-loop logic operation so as to obtain a torque command value. Instep 305, thetorsion control unit 131 reads from thememory 16 the upper torsion limit corresponding to the angle value received thereby. Instep 306, thetorsion control unit 131 determines whether the torque command value exceeds the upper torsion limit. Instep 307, thetorsion control unit 131 outputs the torque command value to themotor driver 141 for driving theservo motor 142 according to the torque command value when the torque command value does not exceed the upper torsion limit. Instep 308, thetorsion control unit 131 outputs the upper torsion limit to themotor driver 141 for driving theservo motor 142 according to the upper torsion limit when the torque command value exceeds the upper torsion limit. - The second overload protection mechanism is illustrated hereinafter.
- In
step 401, theload control unit 132 receives the converted load value from thestrain control unit 152 and the angle value measured by theencoder 143. Instep 402, theload control unit 132 reads from thememory 16 the upper load limit corresponding to the angle value received thereby. Instep 403, theload control unit 132 determines whether the converted load value exceeds the upper load limit. Instep 404, theload control unit 132 controls themotor driver 141 to drive theservo motor 142 to operate normally when the converted load value does not exceed the upper load limit. Instep 405, theload control unit 132 controls themotor driver 141 to stop driving theservo motor 142 when the converted load value exceeds the upper load limit. Preferably, thecrank press 100 further generates an alarm when the converted load value exceeds the upper load limit. - The second overload protection mechanism is designed because, during movement of the
slider 12 within the pressing operation, an actual pressing force attributed to the pressing operation of theslider 12 is usually greater than a pressing force attributed to a capable output torque of theservo motor 142 for bringing about movement of theslider 12 as a result of an effect of inertia force. Therefore, in the preferred embodiment of thecrank press 100, by means of thestrain detector module 15, thestrain detector unit 151 may detect deformation of themachine body 11 during movement of theslider 12 within the pressing operation, such that thecontroller 13 may implement an emergency shutdown or alarm generation according to the converted load value and the predetermined upper load limit so as to achieve an effect of active protection. - To sum up, the present invention has a torque feedback control function so as to implement the first overload protection mechanism. Moreover, by means of the
strain detector module 15 detecting deformation of themachine body 11 during movement of theslider 12 within the pressing operation, the present invention may implement the second overload protection mechanism. Thecrank press 100 of the present invention thus has a dual protection mechanism. - While the present invention has been described in connection with what is considered the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is understood that this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiment but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent arrangements.
